The Rage
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. JKR does though.
(I was sitting around the house one day and I got this great idea. I got the idea from the movies "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later". I hope you enjoy it. Reviews would be greatly appreciated.)
(Thanks for the reviews.)
Chapter 2 The Chaos Begins
Harry grabbed one of Hermione's hands and Ron took the other. This way they could protect her in case one of them came after them. The trio were being bumped and pushed on their way up the stairs. The trio made there way half way up the stairs before Ron was knocked down by a fleeing Gryffindor. Bravery. I think not. Harry bent down to help him up when a series of Cruciatus Curses soared over his head. At the bottom of the stairs was the group of Slytherins who had been fighting in the Great Hall. Harry raised his wand to retaliate, but Hermione beat him to it. She was already firing a shower of stunning spells down at the Slytherins. Ron jumped to his feet and ran to Hermione's side. Harry watched as his two friends managed to drive them back into the Great Hall. Harry flicked his wand and the double doors of the Great Hall closed.
"Colloportus."There's a squelching sound as the doors seal themselves. "That wont hold them for long so we better go." The trio made their way up two more flights of stairs, when there's a loud explosion three floors down.
"It looks like they forgot that they could have just used "Alohomora" to open the door huh, Harry."
"It sounded like it. Hey, do you think Draco may have been killed down there in the Great Hall? Harry asked with a smirk on his face.
"Hey, I never thought about that. That git deserves to die in the worst way possible. I guess him being ripped apart by a cutting spell or tortured to death will be good enough. What do you think Her-"
Hermione was standing a couple of feet away with her hands on her hips. "Do you actually think this is the time to be wishing someone was dead?! Honestly! We need to move now before we're seen by one of them."
Not wanting to start an argument, Harry took off around the corner and ended up in a hall full of students trying to make their way into the Gryffindor common room. People were pushing and shoving each other trying to make their way into the room. The portrait of the Fat Lady was actually lying on the ground covered in scorch marks. Apparently, someone had gotten tired of trying to guess the password and decided to just blast the door opened. Some people had actually started fighting outside the portrait hole. Each person had murder in their eyes.
"Bloody hell! Their one of them!" Someone yelled from the crowd trying to make their way into the common room. Screams rang out as lights began illuminating the hall. FLASH. One person fell to the ground. FLASH. Someone was cut across the chest by a cutting spell. FLASH. Someone was on the ground twitching and screaming at the top of their lungs. People were dropping like flies. It was so hard to distinguish between the regular students and them. People were scattering in all directions to keep from getting hit by one of the spells. Harry ushered Hermione and Ron back around the corner.
"What the hell is going on?! Why are they killing each other?!" Ron was pale and sweating profusely.
Before either Harry or Hermione was able to answer or attempt to calm him down, there was a loud explosion. Half of the hall leading to the common room collapsed upon the unlucky ones who were still unable to escape the mayhem. Hermione let out an earsplitting scream when a pool of blood began to make its way across the floor and down the stairs like a waterfall. Harry couldn't risk his two best friends to fall apart. He had to keep them going and find a place to hide. What was a place that not many people knew about?
"That's it!" Harry screamed, scaring both Ron and Hermione at the same time. "I know where we can hide. I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out."
Harry began to run down the hall at a steady pace, hoping Ron and Hermione were right behind him. They ran around a corner and came upon a group of people huddled together. Many were in tears and the others seemed to be in shock. As the trio rounded two more corners, screams rang out from the hall where they had just seen the group of people huddled together. Screams of terror and rage were heard accompanied by loud bangs as poorly aimed spells impacted the walls. There was an explosion and a cloud of smoke began to drift around the corner towards the trio. Hermione let out a squeak and grabbed hold of Harry's free hand as he lead them down a deserted hallway. He came to a stop in front of a bare wall. As he began pacing in front of this wall he had just one thing running through his head. We need a place to hide. We need a place to hide. We need a place to hide. A door appeared on the not so bare wall directly in front of Harry. Harry opened the door and lead Ron and Hermione into the Room of Requirement.
