Chapter Thirty - When Lies Become Truth
Hi! Last Chapter! I'm so excited to finally have reached this point! Um, I'm going to be writing a sequel called "The Liars Den". And you'll see why it's going to be called that after reading this chapter. Enjoy!
---------------------
Astoria's POV: (Eek! So excited!)
I had gone to sleep. I didn't know what would happen. Christmas holidays were starting the next day. But that didn't matter to the infamous Black Hood. They didn't care whether we had plans, they didn't care whether we weren't expecting them, they didn't care whether we had finally begun to feel safe. I thought it was over. They hadn't made a move since knocking Blaise out and beating Lavender.
But when I woke up that morning, I didn't see the familiar scene of golden light from the sunrise or hear the snoring of my dormmate. No, that day I didn't see my dormitory at all. I saw nothing. Nothing at all. I had a black cloth bag over my head and my hands were tied behind my back, but I could hear the shuffling of feet.
Soon enough, the bag was ripped off my head and the light assaulted my eyes. Blinking a few times, I looked at the clock in the room, it's ticking noise louder than my own breathing. 4 a.m., I read the clock and the other person in the room spoke.
"Been a while hasn't it, Astoria Greengrass."
My breath caught in my throat. Oh my god, I know that voice. Soon enough, the sound of my heart beat blocked the sound of the ticking clock.
"Why?" I asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because, my friend," the Black Hood replied, "no one - and I mean no one - can lie to the police and get away with it. But, we had no proof you lied. So, the only why to stop you from lying, was to make your lie the truth."
"Wait, Draco, Pansy, Blaise. Where are they!?"
"That is none of your concern now is it?"
"Of course it is, they're my friends!"
"Goodbye Astoria, and while you wait, think about why you're here?"
"No wait! Where are they!? Where are we!? Come back! I still have questions!"
The door closed. I was trapped. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, no way out. I couldn't do anything to help my friends. All I could do, was try and guess who the second Black Hood was. After all, their had been two people in that bathroom talking.

Draco's POV:
Cold. Hot. I was cold, but my head was hot. I opened my eyes to see black. Then I saw colour. Well, not colour, but grey and possibly blue. Then I heard the clock ticking, and saw it was four in the morning, on the dot.
"Good morning Draco," a voice spoke from behind me that I vaguely recognised, "How's it hanging?"
"Who are you?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"I'm a little hurt, I would've thought you'd recognised your own Chemistry partner's voice."
Oh. Oh! "So it's you."
"Yup!"
"Whose the other one?"
"Someone, not gonna say who, told us about how they saw some red hair. Now who has red hair? The Weasley's."
"Listen whatever you think you know -"
"I don't need anymore of your lies! I heard your conversation with your parents!"
"You were the shoe guy? No offense, but I would've thought it was someone more agile."
"You know, having a tongue as sharp as yours and using it while tied up, not a good idea."
"Right, well are you gonna loiter behind me or...?"
My head was knocked forward when their fist collided with the back of my head.
"Ow."
"Your friends are here as well."
"What did you do to them!?"
"Relax, they're probably getting the exact same lecture."
And with that, they left my sitting there, still angry that he, whoever the other one was, had hurt my friends. I needed to find a way out. Good thing I had started keeping a razor blade in my pocket at all times.

Blaise's POV:
I didn't even need the bag taken off before I said the Black Hoods name.
"How'd you know," they asked, "I haven't even taken the bag off your head?"
"So I was right?"
"You weren't sure?"
"Maybe I was."
"Your confusing me. It's my job to confuse you!"
"Is it?"
"Yes! Shut up!"
And with that, the bag was pulled off my head and I looked at the clock. Four on the dot.
"Quick question; who is the other one?"
They chuckled, "You have no clue do you? Guess you aren't as smart as you think."
"Wait, what is that supposed to mean? Hey! Hey get back here!"
"Have fun~"
Gone. They were gone. I was left to question what they'd said. Is there more than two?

Pansy's POV:
"So, you're telling me, this was your big plan?"
"Yes!" They yelled in reply, "How else do you trap a liar?"
I rolled my eyes. Of course, they're pissed we lied to the police.
"I'm not scared of you," I said, "You don't understand -"
"Oh, I understand full well! You lie and manipulate because you know what you are? Criminals! I don't know why your new friends decided to help you. Care to explain the lies you told them?"
"Listen to me! You have no clue what you're getting involved in -"
"Well then explain."
"Are parents were beating us! We ran away, and fucked up! We were scared, and they wanted to help."
"I don't believe you."
"It's the truth! You've been watching us long enough -"
"Then why did you come back!?"
"Because when we were young, there were severe punishments for not doing well in school -"
"LIAR!!!!"
"I'm not lying -"
Before I could finish the door slammed shut. I looked at the clock, the insuferable ticking noise becoming maddening. 4:02. Great, only took about two minutes for him to explain and yell. This is going to be a long wait. I fiddled with my sleeve and found a pin. I had always known it was there, but whenever I tried to get it, it disappeared.
----------------------
So, I'm going to give you a little hint for who the Black Hood's are. That's right, there was a reason I used those symbols instead of question marks.

Look at the placement on your phone keyboard, then you'll see who they are. I wanna know your guesses. Um, I won't be writing "The Liars Den" immediately, because I want to work on other's. I will probably write a teaser chapter but for now, this book is complete. I hope I won't have to write a sequel to the the sequel though, but knowing me...
Anywho, I hope you've enjoyed this so far and I will be working on the sequel, but I won't be publishing until I've written at least a few chapter's. Thank you all so much for your support and I will tell you when the first chapter of "The Liars Den" is published. Thank you!
