A/N: First of all, thank you for the reveiws and alerts! I am pleasantly suprised and slightly humbled with the response, so thank you all. Just a quick explanation, so as not to confuse you too much- this is not the end of the story, but a kind of secondary prologue to give you a bit of background. Worry ye not, the next chapter will be a proper one, it will be a decent size, and it will hopefully be up before New Year. Hopefully.
"Ron, go! You can't stop him! Just get Hermione, and get out of here!"
"I'm not- gasp – I'm not leaving you!"
"You've got to! Just- just go and get help. Find the rest of the Order, I don't care, but just get yourselves to safety. I'll be fine."
"Harry-"
"Go!"
"Malfoy, you need to leave, now. He's coming, you have to-"
"Potter, I am not going anywhere; the bloody monster killed my father, if you think I'm just going to listen to you-"
"I haven't got time for this! Just leave! Now!"
"Look out!"
"Malfoy, I told you to-"
"Since when have I ever listened to you, Potter? I'll do what I bloody like, thank you very much!"
"But-"
"Don't leave me. Please, please, don't leave me."
"DUCK!"
"What're you-"
"They've found us, we need to-"
"I love you."
"Don't say that; please don't say that, you can't-"
"Avada Kedavra!"
