Hermione ran into the room skidding to a stop at the top of the stairs. Curses were being shot in every direction. Quickly taking in who was dueling with whom, she shot down the stairs trying to reach Harry. She saw that he was close to Sirius and almost froze mid-step when it registered that Sirius was locked in a battle with Bellatrix Lestrange.

She reached the floor of the courtroom and tripped over Mad-Eye Moody's still form. Forcing her thoughts onto the fighting all around her, she sent a stunning spell at Lucius Malfoy as she closed the gap between herself and Harry and Sirius. She was firing stunners as fast as she could. Her vision was encompassed by streams of different colors as curses and stunners flew in every direction, being shot from both sides.

She had just stunned the Death Eater that had been dueling against Tonks, when she turned to see Sirius get hit with a spell shot from Bellatrix. She watched in horror as Sirius began to fall backwards as the spell knocked him off his feet. She tried to reach him, to keep him from falling through the veil. She didn't know why, but she had the feeling that he wouldn't be coming back if he fell through it. She grabbed a hold of his arm as tight as she could and tried to slow the both of them down, but she was pulled off of her feet by Sirius and they both fell through the veil.

As she was dragged through the veil she heard Harry calling out to them just before the world went silent, as if all sound was cut off. The colors swirling around her were moving so fast that she began to feel sick. Tightening her grip on Sirius' arm she began to lose consciousness as it felt as if her body was being pulled into a hundred directions at once.
