Chapter 1: The Fall
Boom! The sound of falling masonry, the screams and shouts of the retreating defenders of Hogwarts is all Harry could hear as he, Ron and Hermione exited the room of requirement. The Death Eaters pushed their advantage as a small group of students rounded the 7th floor corridor pursued by five Death Eaters firing off hexes. As three of the hexes made connection with their targets Harry rounded pointing his wand at a broken stone pillar which once held a small statue "windardium leviosa" the largest remnant of the pillar rose from the ground, taking aim Harry bellowed "depulso!" the banishing charm sent the pillar hurtling towards the death eaters and Harry was rewarded with a loud Thunk as the pillar slammed into two of the approaching death eaters who crumpled. Quick fire stunning spells from Ron and Hermione dealt with the remaining death eaters as Harry cast a shield charm over their would be victims. "What's going on in the rest of the castle?" Harry asked the students "it's not good we're outnumbered and we haven't been able to keep the death eaters out of the castle" replied a red hair girl Harry recognised as a Hufflepuff from the year above .
The Diadem had been destroyed however it seemed the battle was going heavily in Voldemort's favour. Harry stood stock still weighing up his options as the battle raged. "The snake Harry, where is the snake!" Hermione shouted bringing Harry out his contemplation "Just the snake left then it's just him mate, where is he? , use the connection". It was easy, Harry closed his eyes and saw, Voldemort at the rear of his advancing Death Eaters as they pushed through the students defending the entrance to the castle moving over the lifeless forms of Colin Creavy and Hannah Abbott. "it's not good the castle's going to fall and we have lost a lot of good people" "but where is he!" Ron exclaimed exasperated "just about to enter the castle we should go and fight". "get under the cloak, all of us" Hermione ordered. "what's the plan?", "kill the snake" Harry retorted with a touch of annoyance "with what, I lost the Basilisk fangs in the room of requirement" Hermione replied. "Let's move its no use standing here debating".
As the trio descended staircases sending jinxes towards death eaters from under the invisibility cloak heading toward the great hall. As they reached the top of the marble staircase leading to the great hall the scene that met their eyes horrified them. Defenders of Hogwarts were falling in their troves and the Death Eaters were making easy work of the wizards and witches. Only the order of the phoenix members were holding their own and were quickly being overcome by far greater numbers. The order members were firing of blanket fire spells covering the students as they attempted to get climb the staircase "They are trying to flee, probable trying to escape through the passageway to the Aberforth's pub" Hermione noted before adding "the order are trying to buy them time what are we going to do?" "The snake is not even with Voldemort" Harry muttered as Ron shuddered at the mention of the name. "So much wasted" "we are going to have to flee with the other students... and formulate a plan, live to fight another day" Hermione said her voice breaking as she watched her fellow students succumb to the Death Eater onslaught and the Order's almost futile attempt to cover them. "No! We're not leaving everyone to be killed while we slip away under the cloak". "We are going to have to mate" said Ron stiffly "we can use the secret tunnel heading to Honeydukes" Harry said nothing as his two best friends led him away. The passageway was clear as all the Dementors had joined the battle above.
The trio exited Honeydukes the caterwauling charm still blaring as the high street stood still. "Where to?" asked Hermione "Shell Cottage" muttered Ron. "No we can't stay in the country that was the last of any resistance to Voldemort in case you hadn't noticed." Hermione held out here hands and together they disapperated with a loud crack and arrived in a field just outside of a small village the sun was just rising and the dew from the grass was soaking their feet. "Where are we?" Harry asked "just outside a fishing village called Beer in Devon I thought we could get on a boat headed for France" they headed into the village under the cloak heading towards the harbour. "I can't believe Voldemort won" said Harry. Before anyone could reply all they heard were a series of loud Cracks! As a group of three wizards apparated before them. "They're not death eaters" Ron said under his breath "no death eater robes. "Show yourself" called a raspy voice no one recognised "must be an order member to be using The Dark Lord's name Vale" another voice muttered "well whoever they are their protective enchantments will have broke get looking" Ordered Vale. "They can't see us" whispered Hermione "well this is the true invisibility cloak, we could sneak by" suggested Ron "good idea no need to attract anymore attention". As Harry, Ron and Hermione slipped away the three snatchers split up and Harry, Ron and Hermione headed into the village and waited for daybreak to arrive.
When they arrived at the harbour the trio took shelter under a dilapidated old shed that used to house fishing equipment. "What do we do now?" "wait for a passenger ferry heading to France apparate onto the deck and hide out until it reaches France" said Hermione. "That is all well and good but how will we know which one is going to France?" asked Ron "wait!" Harry said as he noticed a group of people entering an information bureau. "Stay here and stay low" Harry exited the shed under the cloak and slipped in behind the last person entering the bureau.
Relieved at getting inside unnoticed he skulked around the edges of the room looking for anything that could tell him when the next ferry for France was departing. Harry found what he was looking for just to the right of the help desk. He had to be careful as not to upset the magazine rack full of leaflets regarding the different services that are provided at the harbour. He waited until someone raised a query with a clerk and every so carefully slid a leaflet for direct ferries from the rack under his cloak. As he snuck back into the old shed Ron and Hermione gave a start of surprise "Harry I got such a fright" Hermione said "there's a ferry departing for Calais at 11.15 and its 8.30 roughly just now" "How'd you know that?" "clock behind the help desk in there" Harry pointed in the direction of the information bureau. "If we hang about here and wait we should see it arrive and we can apperate on board before it docks". After a rather boring few hours spent suffering Ron's moans of hunger they saw the ferry preparing to dock. They apparated onto the deck with a loud crack "did we hit something boss?" One of the sailors said to the captain "sure sounded like it didn't it Johnson, get it into dock and we'll do an inspection before we let the passengers board.
As the sailors satisfied themselves that no damage had been done to the boat causing the ferry to be 2 hours late for departure Harry wondered if the two confunded muggles currently sitting up on a bench on the deck would draw much attention as he, Ron and Hermione stowed away in their car under the invisibility cloak. "do you think you-know-who will make another horcrux now he knows we've been hunting them?" pondered Ron "I doubt it he has rendered his soul so unstable by creating 6, the soul is supposed to remain whole Ron". Not that it matters now though Harry we've fled left everyone to suffer an horrific fate whilst we scuttle of to safety. "we will come back" Hermione said as if she had read his mind "we just need to formulate a plan and get help" "do you think anyone survived?" Asked Ron "I don't know". Ron had been going between despair at the thought of the fate of his family and moaning about not having eaten since they had been in the Hog's Head "shell cottage and your auntt Muriel's were both under the fidelius charm so if they managed to escape they should be safe" said Harry knowing it would be little to no comfort for Ron. "oh here they come" the two middle aged muggles were walking towards the car "we must be about to land at Calais" said Hermione. As the ferry docked and the ramps were lowered the muggles drove on to gravel not knowing they had three stow away passengers, several miles down the road the car stopped and the couple got out and entered a small cafe. "they're in" Harry said "right sneak out now and head behind the cafe" Hermione ordered when they climbed out of the car Hermione stuffed the cloak in the beaded bag and the trio ran behind the cafe "what now? Stop and have a nice breakfast? Maybe a little croissant?" the snide remark from Ron made Hermione scowl "no we're going to Paris to the Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France" "erm in English please" "the French ministry of magic, it's somewhere in Paris" "yeah just like the ministry is somewhere in London" Ron scoffed. "I overheard Fleur say that the visitors entrance is concealed within a Wallace Fountain in Paris as she was bragging about how France is much better than England to Mrs Weasley". "So we just have to find this Fountain doesn't sound that hard" "not exactly" "why not exactly?" "there are roughly 70 of these Wallace Fountains in Paris" "oh great" "look!" Harry shouted before Ron amd Hermione got into a full scale row let's just get on the move the sooner we move the sooner we find it" the three joined hands and turned on the spot and the feeling of crushing darkness and suffocation enveloped them as the trio dissapeared from the back of the cafe.
After several hours of trawling through Paris from the Boulevard de Sébastopol on the 3rd Arrondissement to the Rue de St-Pétersbourg on the 8th Arrondissement the gang apparated onto the square of the Place Saint Sulpice on the 6th Arrondissement. It was getting dark now and there were few people around as the lights illuminated Paris!. "Surely we will find this tonight" Harry said "look!" Hermione Shrieked "what" Harry rounded his wand drawn expecting death eaters. "The muggles are avoiding that fountain just like..." "the leaky cauldron!" "this is it" Ron interjected sounding optimistic. They approached the fountain carefully and as the got closer the fountain shimmered and the appearance changed with a sign at the top stating Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France entrée des visiteurs. Harry's excitement growing as they came ever closer to entrance, they were less than ten feet away when he heard a voice from directly behind him that instantly filled him with horror before he recognised the accent wasn't Brittish
"Ahhhh Harry Potter, I never expected to see you here in Paris" before adding in a dejected tone "Dumbledore must be dead then if Britain has fallen, come with me France will be invaded by the Dark Lord next after he has brought the populas of muggle Britain to it's knees. We are going to have to train you three to fight a geurilla campaign when the time comes. " The mysterious figure wandlessly summoned an empty can of juice from a near by bin muttered "portus" and the can glowed blue. "Come with me we are on your side, we can't stay here i'll warn the French ministry to prepare for the Dark Lord's attack." "Expecto Patronum !" The silver pratonus flew straight at the ministry entrance and dissapeared underground. Do you think we should go ? " asked Hermione "what choice do we have ?" Nodding in aggreement the three walked over to the stranger and together all four placed there hands on the portkey.
With a familliair feeling of being hooked in the gut by a fishing line they entered the void for what felt like an unnaturally long portkey journey. The trio hut the ground with a loud thunk on a walkway in a wooded aread at the foot of a mountain just before a massive gate addorned be a Thunderbird, a Wampus, a Horned Serpent and a Pukwudgie. The trio vomited realising they had just used an unauthorised international portkey for the first time.
