Harry
and
Hermione
The Real Deathly Hallows
By Tyler Thompson
One
The street lamps flickered. The houses on Private Drive went dark. The street lamps followed the example. Then the tall figure appeared on the street. Not a soul on the street, besides this stranger, was awake. Had anyone been watching, they would have seen a curious sight. The figure walked up to the door of number four. With a swift movement, the figure pulled a strange stick like object from beneath his cloak. There was a bright flash that illuminated the entire street with yellow light for a few seconds. Then the figure went around to the back of the house and did not return.
On the second story of Number Four, a boy awoke. Harry Potter sat up in bed, wondering what had happened. He had heard some noises coming from downstairs, so he climbed out of bed, put on his glasses, and got dressed. He saw nothing out of the ordinary downstairs. He opened the back door and came face to face with Hagrid who was wearing a large pair of flight goggles, that looked small on his giant face. He also had a flight helmet that looked ten sizes too small.
"Arry! Good ter see ya!" He exclaimed.
"Why on earth are you here Hagrid?" Harry questioned.
"We have ter get ya outta here, before trouble. Five Death Eaters have visited this place t'night! And ya turn 17 in 2 hours!" Hagrid replied with a sense of urgency.
"We?" Harry asked. It was then that Harry noticed that there were many people right behind Hagrid.
Harry opened the door wide, and Hermione flew into his arms, hugging him so tightly, that it was hard for him to even hug her back.
"Harry! I'm so glad you're safe! I've been so worried." She exclaimed, clinging to his hand now.
"How are ya, mate?" Ron asked giving Harry a pat on the back.
"All right, everyone in! We don't have much time." Moody said barging into Petunia's spotless kitchen. Fred, George, Bill, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Lupin, Fleur, Kingsley, and Mundungus all entered behind Mad-Eye.
Tonks made her way to Harry and showed him a sparkling ring on her ring finger. Lupin stood at her side.
"You-You're married?!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yes! Sorry, you couldn't be there, we didn't exactly make a fuss about it if you know what I-" Tonks was cut off with a rude bark from Mad-Eye.
"Quiet! We don't have time! Now, because of a certain Pius Thicknesse, We are unable to Apparate, Use Portkey, or Floo Powder. We are left with Brooms, Thestrals, and Sirius' old Motorbike. We have to move fast because all the protection from Lily Potter vanishes at the stroke of midnight. Harry, you will be flying to Tonk's parent's place. When you arrive, you will take a Portkey to The Burrow. Understood?" Moody looked right at, or through, Harry with his unnerving Eye.
"So, we are just going to fly in plain view to Tonk's Parent's house?" Harry asked confused.
"That's where you're wrong. There will be seven Harry Potters tonight. All flying in different direction-"
"POTTER! What do you think you're doing down there!" Came the blast from Vernon Dursley.
"I'll handle this," Moody said. He whipped out his wand. "Petrificus Totalus!" He yelled,
"Now then, we need a couple of yer 'airs, 'Arry," Hagrid said.
Harry's eyes widened as he realized the plan.
"No! I can't let you do this!" Harry exclaimed.
"Accio!" Moody yelled, and a few strands of hair whizzed right into Moody's hand. He placed them inside a large jug of brownish mud-like liquid, which turned a clear gold.
"All right, Fake Potters, take a drink!" Moody exclaimed. One by one, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Fleur, and Mundungus drank the potion.
Harry watched in disgust and awe as they transformed into… well, him. Moody told them to all go and change. As soon as everyone was ready, Mad-Eye ordered everyone to follow him. He was about to open the back door when he heard a loud scream.
"VERNON!" Petunia had seen her husband.
Moody quickly turned and yelled a spell that made Petunia unable to speak.
"Come, on," Moody said.
They went out the back door and froze. The brooms were on fire, the thestrals were gone, and a cloaked figure stood in front of them. The same figure in fact, that we mentioned earlier. The figure removed the hood of the cloak, and the group gasped. They were face to face with Lord Voldemort.
