Harry Potter

One Shots

Chapter Ten

Of Mice and Men!

ooOoOoo

Harry leaned against the wall to catch his breath. Around him his friends were gasping as they ran from the death eaters trying to kill them. None of them were badly injured but they couldn't get back to the elevators due to the death eaters guarding it.

"What are we going to do Harry?" Hermione asked as she used her mirror to look down the long hallway to the elevators.

"You brought us into a trap!" Ron snarled in anger.

Looking at his friends he saw only Ginny was agreeing with Ron and with a silent sigh he knew that Ron was pushing it again with his jealousy. Shaking his head he looked around and saw several mice running around. You'd think that the ministry would have anti vermin wards up but it seems like they did not.

"Ron, shush," Hermione hissed out.

Ron was about to reply when Luna hit him with a silencing charm.

"We need some reinforcements," Harry said as he wished the order would arrive to help and as he remembered stunning Malfoy three times he added, "We need to stop stunning them. They are trying to kill us and we keep stunning."

"We can't kill them. That would make us dark," Ginny replied.

Harry looked at Ginny and then remembered a saying he heard when his cousin was watching a war movie, "In war you kill the enemy, even the muggles know that. Back in World War Two or the Grindelwald War as you know it, General George S. Patton, an American general said, 'No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.' So we fight fire with fire. We don't need to use the killing curse but if we take them down make sure they stay down. If you can't kill, shatter their legs so they can't follow us with a bone shattering curse."

"Fuck that Harry. If I see a Lestrange I am taking them out permanently," Neville replied with anger.

"It's wrong to kill!" Hermione said and then added, "But Harry is correct in war killing the enemy is a necessity."

Before Harry or anyone else could say anything, spell fire started coming into the hallway and they had to retreat to a door which led to the circler room. Quickly choosing a door they started into it when Harry stopped when he heard the squeaking noise again. Looking back he saw a half dozen mice run into the room and he smiled. Lifting his wand, he quickly cast a spell that he remembered reading from the transfiguring section. As the six mice started to transform he slammed the door and hit it with a locking spell and the door made a suction sound.

Hermione watched as the men turned into knights of old and Harry shouted out, "Hey, we need help. Evil men wearing long black robes and white masks are trying to rape and kill the princesses here," as he pointed to Luna, Hermione and Ginny.

"The one in the center wearing chainmail with a red dragon surcoat replied, "No fear my gentle ladies. We will defend your honor against them. Squires, take the princesses to safety while we deal with the rouges. To arms men, none shall pass."

Harry led his friends from the room as the knights took up position around the door Harry had pointed out. As they ran, behind him he heard the knight shout out that they shall not touch the princesses and then a scream. Harry didn't know what the scream was about but they ran for the elevators and entered them as another scream sounded.

"What did you do?" Hermione asked.

"Mice and Men, Hermione, Mice and Men, Justice in Of Mice and Men," Harry replied as he was about to hit the button for the top floor and the elevator started rising.

"Be ready to fire in case it's more of them," Harry ordered as the six friends took what cover to the sides of the door with the first two kneeling.

Seconds later the doors opened and before they could fire they heard a voice.

"Don't fire it's the kids."

"Professor Moody?" Harry asked.

"Never was your professor. Where's the death eaters?" Moody asked as he stumped forward.

"Down below and I hope my distraction work… Sirius what are you doing here?" Harry asked as they stepped out of the elevator cage.

"Rescuing you," Sirius said.

"You need to get the bloody hell out of here," Harry ordered.

"I will, now that you're safe," Sirius said as he hugged his godson as the cage closed and the elevator lowered into the depths of the ministry.

"No time now," Moody said as he looked around, "Find cover."
