"They've blocked the stairs - Reducto! REDUCTO!"
Harry's heart leapt: so these four had not eliminated all opposition, but merely broken through the fight to the top of the tower, and, by the sound of it, created a barrier behind them.
"Now, Draco, quickly!" Said the brutal faced man angrily.
But Malfoy's hand was shaking so badly that he could barely aim.
"I'll do it," snarled Greyback, moving towards Dumbledore with his hands outstretched, his teeth bared.
"
I said no!" Shouted the brutal faced man; there was a flash of light and the werewolf was blasted out of the way; he hit the ramparts and staggered, looking furious. Harry's heart was hammering so hard it seemed impossible that nobody could hear him standing there, imprisoned by Dumbledore's spell if he could only move, he could aim a curse from under the cloak-
"Draco, do it or stand aside so one of us - " screeched the woman but at that precise moment a loud yelp from just outside the door alerted the death eaters to another presence. The woman ran to the door and looked out. Snape was lying at the bottom of the stairs, his face showing considerable signs of agony.
"Snape! You clumsy old fool!" The woman screamed, but while her back was turned, Greyback had re-emerged and launched himself on an unsuspecting Dumbledore.
Harry watched as the blood spurted from the old man's face, and thought it too good to be true when the werewolf suddenly backed away.
Dumbledore was positively howling in agony, his features twisting and squirming until Harry realised that with a thrill of horror that
Dumbledore had resurfaced as a fully transformed werewolf. He let out an almighty howl, his wizarding robes ripping off his hairy chest, buttons launching themselves at the death eaters. The howl had alerted the people at the bottom of the stairs. At that moment Snape burst through the door. For a moment, Snape and Dumbledore looked at each other. Harry felt like he was being suspended in thin air...this was not happening. Then someone spoke.
"Dumbledore..."The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Snape was pleading.
Dumbledore said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Greyback roughly out of the way, the three death eaters fell back without a word.
Dumbledore gazed for a moment at Snape, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
"Dumbledore...please."
Dumbledore bared his teeth directly at Snape, and Harry watched in horror as the headmaster bit the head clean off his teacher.
