Hogwarts- October 31, 1981.
The Great Hall is buzzing with excitement from students and staff before the Halloween feast arrives. Albus excuses himself from our conversation so he can make his speech before the students start becoming to hungry. Just as he stands a patronus shows up in front of the staff table.
"The Ministry has been attacked. Our numbers are falling." Comes Millicent Bagnold's, Minister of Magic, voice from the patronus. Fear fills the room. Albus turns to me.
"Minerva, contact the Order. Tell them to form at the Ministry. Also tell James to stay in hiding and to keep the Potter boys safe, at all costs." Nodding I hurry to his office as he clearly tells the students what to do. When I get up the stairs and into his office I contact the Order members: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Alaster Moody, Peter Pettigrew, Elphias Doge, and the others. I tell them to meet at the Ministry as soon as possible. Then I send a message to James and Lily Potter, telling them what is happening but to stay where they are and not to worry. As soon as I finish Albus enters, and without a word I grab a hold of his arm and we apparate to the Ministry.
Everyone is already there and in combat with one or more Death Eater. Albus hurries to go help his brother, so I head over to Remus, Sirius, and Dora. I get into a one-on-one duel with Yaxley half way there. The over head ceiling shows the full moon coming out from behind the clouds. Everyone that was around Remus and his opponent, Finrir Greyback, all scatter. Both Greyback and Remus change forms and go at it again.
"Let's hope Remus took his potion tonight!" Yells Sirius to anyone who was listening. Nodding telling him I hope so also. I turn back to Yaxley just in time to deflect the curse that he sent at me. As the fight continues, and everyone stays clear of the werewolves, Sirius and I become back to back each of us fighting our own Death Eater. I manage to deflect Yaxley backwards, with stupefy, and then turn around to help Sirius fight Antonin Dolohov. We finally fight him away in time to see Tonks running towards Bellatrix Lestrange, who has both Frank and Alice on the ground under the Crusiatus Curse, and gets into a one-on-one with her. Sirius looks around, then to me with a terrified expression. His back on an incoming Death Eater, I push him behind me as the Death Eater raises his wand to casts a curse. I raise my wand beating him to it: yelling "Avada Kedavra!" The Death Eater falls where he stood. I then turn around to see a blank look on Sirius's face as he looks at the dead Death Eater.
"Go! Go save James! We have it here." I yell at him, bringing him back to earth. He nods and disapparates. I then deflect a spell and get into a duel with Lucius Malfoy.
