1:35 AM

Ginny, Luna, and Hermione collapsed onto the pavement with quiet cries of pain after their knees came into hard contact with the cement.

"We need to cast a cushioning charm from now on," Ginny winced and slowly stood up.

"Uh-oh," Luna and Hermione heard Ginny mutter and the two girls jumped to their feet, wands raised but nobody was around.

"Ginny, you nearly gave me a heart attack there's nob-," Hermione stopped mid-sentence. There's nobody around.

"Where are Ron, Harry, and Neville?" Hermione asked, panic starting to kick in.

"You don't think something happened to them at the battle do you?" Ginny asked worried.

"We'll have to worry about it later, look, there's a thestral, Alastor will be coming soon," Luna said pointing up. Ginny and Hermione could now see the creature after all the death they had witnessed at the Battle at Hogwarts.

"You're right we have to keep our heads, this one will be tricky…," Hermione breathed, she was scared, they would see Voldemort and Harry wouldn't be there with them for once.

"I have the firebolt; didn't Harry give you the cloak, Ginny?" Luna asked pulling out minute Firebolt.

"Yeah, right here," Ginny said pulling out the invisibility cloak that Harry forced her to take for protection.

"Ingorgio" Luna pointed her wand at the broomstick and it returned to its original size.

"Come on, let's go," Ginny said urgently. Ginny hopped on and Hermione climbed on behind her, Luna taking up the rear. The boys had the other broomstick so it would have to do.

After carefully pulling on the invisibility cloak and placing a temporary sticking charm on it so it would stay put, Ginny zoomed upwards, the air blowing her hair from her face.

Ginny dodged brooms, thestrals and spells, barely breathing as Hermione clung on for dear life.

"There," Luna pointed.

Following her gave they laid eyes on Alastor Moody and someone who appeared to be Mugens.

'Let's go," Hermione said and Ginny veered behind Moody's broomstick as he argued with Mugens.

A sharp intake of breath from Hermione made Ginny and Luna look around to see Voldemort soaring towards them, with no means of visible transportation.

"Wait…, wait, wait-," Ginny chanted.

Mudgens screamed and disapperated, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort screeched.

"NOW!" Ginny screamed.

Right before the curse made contact Luna and Ginny pulled Moody off his broomstick and under the invisibility cloak that Hermione was holding up.

"Oi, you two are supposed to-," Moody was gagged as Ginny shoved a potion into his mouth, a few seconds later he was enveloped by a bright purple light.

2:00 AM

The girls reached the ground and after a few minutes decided to go back to the night Dumbledore died, hoping that the boys would meet them there.

Meanwhile…

1:35

"Lucius, the Dark Lord wants to see you and Snape right away!" Yaxley yelled, running past.

"Snape!" Harry smacked his head.

"Harry no, we don't have time!" Ron said.

"The girls have the firebolt and invisibility cloak with your help you'll all be able to do without me, we'll meet at the night of Dumbledore's death…," he said, taking off down the hall.

Cursing Harry Potter, Neville and Ron ran after him, down two stories, through a hole in the floor and a bypass passage, but by the time Neville and Ron stopped Harry was out of sight.

"What w-will he-he do-do? The sn-snakes ven-venom will k-kill him!" Ron spluttered, bent over double.

"I don't know," Neville replied, not nearly as out of breath as Ron.

"Well, well, if it isn't Longbottom and Weasley," A crackling voice sounded. The two boys whipped around and came face to face with the Carrow siblings.

The duel that followed was fierce and vicious. After 10 minutes the brother collapsed but the sister stayed strong before dropping to the floor after being hit in the back with a stunning curse from the opposite way.

The one who cast it was Harry Potter.

"Did you save him?" Neville asked.

"Yes!" Harry grinned.

"You arse! Just wait till Ginny and Hermione get their hands on you…," Ron fumed.

Ron then pulled out the bottles and handed them to each Harry and Neville and still ranting, they finished the drinks at the same time and felt the sensation of flying back in time.

What they didn't notice however, was that they took the wrong potion.
