Chapter 28 – Engimatic

"Are you ok?" Alex panted wincing in pain as she got to her feet as the pain began rushing through her knee, her eyes fixing on Harry. Harry got to his feet casting his eyes around the dark street.

"Wh-what about Ron and the others?" Harry stammered his voice worried Alex bit her lip in guilt she had completely forgotten about them.

"We have to go back!" Harry requested grabbing hold of Alex's arm.

"Quick take us back!" Harry ordered his eyes frantic his breathing heavy. Alex looked down at his hand releasing his hand from her arm and staring into his eyes calmly.

"Harry you can't go back, Voldemort wants you not me or them." Alex admitted sadly. Harry looked into her eyes sharply he was becoming more angry.

"He doesn't want them so he will kill them." He roared with rage his eyes burning holes through Alex as he stared at her.

"Take me back." He said through gritted teeth taking firmly hold of each or her arms and staring directly into her eyes, she knew he was serious.

"I can't," Alex replied trying to pull her arms from his grasp.

"Take me back…NOW!" Harry roared in fustration, Alex had no choice she closed her eyes and in a instant appeared in the middle of city hall along with Harry. The corridor was dark and empty they wandered quietly through the corridor their footsteps echoing.

"Harry?" a hoarse voice called Harry ran to the side of Ron who was sitting beside his sister Ginny supporting her broken wrist.

"Ron, Ginny are you ok? Where are the others we have to get out of here!" Harry explained taking hold of Ginny's arm and helping her to her feet.

"Go with Alex, she will take you back to Hogsmead, you must alert Dumbledore." Harry continued his eyes surveying the dark hall. Harry watched as Alex, Ron and Ginny disappeared in a blink of an eye. He waited for a moment there was a sound of light footsteps ahead of him. He gripped his wand tightly waiting for the noise to round the corner.

"knox!" The stanger hissed his silhoutte vanishing, Harry gulped.

"Who's there?" The stranger called Harry recognised that voice, it wasn't an enemy it was Justin.

"It's Harry." He replied quietly with a sigh of relief.

"Lumos" Justin's wand tip lit up elmuinating his pale blooded face.

"Where's Alex is she ok?" Justin whispered he could just see the glare from Harry's glasses when there was a flash of light where Alex appeared.

"Justin!" Alex breathed relieved he was ok.

"What happened to your arm?" she asked frowning, examing the mangled flesh through his ripped shirt.

"Forget about that who else is here?" Justin inquired looking down both sides of the hall.

"I took Hermione back," He added looking at Alex to see if she looked ok.

"I just took Ron and Ginny." Alex replied frowning.

"That means it's just Neville and Luna." Harry said slowly making his way down the hall.

"Justin, you go the opposite way, I'll go with Harry." Alex ordered, a lump formed in her throat she didn't want to leave her brother what if she never saw him again? But it was the only way Justin would have never allowed her to wander the corridor on her own and Harry needed a way out just incase. After awhile of walking in silence the only sound were the echoing of their footsteps when Harry held out his hand preventing Alex from walking any further. Two dark figures were whispering amongst themselves oblivious to Harry and Alex's presences.

"The Dark Lord will have you for this Lucius," Bellatrix hissed her wand raised to Lucius's chest.

"Now, now Bella…it wasn't I who lost the boy," Lucius replied cooly his pale face looked stone grey a line or worry permantly fixed on his face.

"The Dark Lord did not lose the boy! There was unknown magic, the girl has powers the Dark Lord did not know," Bellatrix hissed angerily lowering her wand and turning to face the blackness that engulfed Harry and Alex.

"Our conversation is no longer private," Bellatrix whispered pressing her wand to the mark upon her arm. Suddenly two hands clasp around Alex's mouth preventing her from screaming, Harry took in a sharp breath as another pair of hands curled its way around Harry's mouth, the anonymus people pushed Harry and Alex forward revealing them before Lucius and Belletrix who smiled wickedly.

"Aw it's Potty and the widdle girly." Bellatrix cackled standing over Harry and Alex as the knelt of the floor. Before anything else could happen they heard some others, Harry looked up and spotted Neville and Luna accompanied by two hooded Death Eaters.

"Sorry Harry," Neville began but the Death Eater pushed him to the floor winding him before he could say anymore.

"Well well look who we've rounded up here," Lucius said survey each of their faces.

"Aren't there a few missing?" He asked a smirk growing on his face, he head over to Harry lifting his face to look into his stone grey eyes.

"Well?" He breahted starring straight into Harry's green eyes.

"They're back at Hogwarts," Justin's voice called from the darkness. Lucius looked up angerily looking for the source of the noise. There was a massive CRACK! As Lupin, Tonks, Sirius, Mad-Eye and a few more other faces that Alex didn't recognise joined them.

"Stupfy!" They all cried aiming at the Death Eaters, Justin ran up towards Alex pulling to her feet.

"Hurry Alex we have to go!" Justin bellowed tugging on Alex's sleeve.

"No, you have to take Neville an Luna…I'll take Harry and follow," Alex assured pushing her brother towards Neville and Luna as Alex turned frantically scanning the area for a sign of Harry. He was in a furious duel against Lucius Malfoy accompanied by a tall dark hair man with a bearded face.

"Nice one James!" Alex heard him called, frowning she headed towards Harry everything went to fast for Alex to really figure out what was going on.

"Avada-Kadvra!" Bellatrix shrieked a flash of green light and the bearded man beside Harry lay on the floor, this man was obviously very important to Harry because she could see the loss in his eyes.

"NO SIRIUS!" Harry cried clutching onto his Godfathers motionless body. Lupin was trying to restrain Harry all he could he knew that Harry had to get out of here. There was a high-pitched cackle.

"I killed Sirius Black!" Bellatrix squealed in delight running down the hall.

Harry pulled away from Lupin's grasp.

"Harry no!" Alex called chasing after Harry who was closely advancing on Belletrix.

"Crucio!" Harry roared knocking Bellatrix to the floor, Harry and Alex watched as she scrambled back breathing heavily the fear formenant in her eyes.

"Harry no!" Alex called but he didn't seem to hear her, his wand still raised pointing directly at Bellatrix. A smile of delight grew on Bellatrix's face as her master appeared standing behind Harry, she began to laugh.

"Do it!" he ordered, Harry wheeled round facing Voldemort once more raising his wand, Voldemort made a swiping movement as if phsyically slapping the wand from Harry's grasp, Harry's wand fell to the floor with a clatter rolling to Alex's feet. Voldemort smiled as Harry watched his wand roll away from him leaving him defenceless.

"So weak," Voldemort spoke suddenly there was a loud CRACK! As Dumbledore appeared looking directly at Voldemort

"It was foolish of you to come here tonight Tom," Dumbledore spoke calmly, his eyes still fixed on the pale inhuman face before him.

"The aurors are on their way," He continued stepping closer towards him.

"By which time I shall be gone," Voldemort replied with a small smile stepping away from Dumbledore.

"And you…shall be dead," He continued his smile widdening, Alex and Harry were forced backwards, Bellatrix turned and began running down the corridor disappearing into the darkness. Dumbledore and Voldemort's wands connected as Harry's had before earlier that night, the power being emmited from the wands caused windows to break and the ceiling began to crumble threatening to cave in while the walls and floor shook violently. Voldemort broke the connection causing a fireball snake that towered above them, he laughed maliciously watching the snake triumphantly, Dumbledore watched in horror as the firey serpant darted towards him, with a wave of his wand he made a slashing movement causeing the snake to disappear sending the flames back towards its creator. Alex and Harry watched as Voldemort sent what looked like swarms of black insects hurtling towards Dumbledore while he shielded himself making the black mass bounce off. Voldemort drew back the spell making it form into a ball eventually releasing it making so much force it knocked Dumbledore off his feet and smashed every window on the entire floor. Alex and Harry ducted sheilding themselves from the shards of falling glass raining down on them. Voldemort raised his wand sending the shards of sharp pointed glass hurtling towards them. Alex gulped she had never seen such magic in her mind she thought it was amazing if only it wasn't going to kill her. Dumbledore sat up pointing his wand at the forth coming attack forming another shield making the glass that passed through form into sand. Alex and Harry covered their eyes while the sand engulfed them. The sand finally cleared and as Voldemort saw them appear unharmed his smile faded letting out a sigh. There was another crack and aurors and the minister for magic appeared. Voldemort looked up disappearing instantly forming into sand.

"He's back" The minister breathed in shock his voice hoarse he was rooted to the spot. Alex got to her feet watching as the aurors began searching the halls for Death Eaters. Alex was suddenly knocked off her feet. Harru whirled around watching as the sand grains passed through her, collasping to his need on the floor at her side.

"Alex are you ok?" Harry urged trying to wake Alex up but she was unconscious.

"What's wrong with her?" Harry asked looking to Dumbledore for help. Dumbledore got to his knee taking Alex into his arms and examining her closely.

"She should be ok." He answered.

"But what about, something passed through her." Harry argued. Soon there were photographers at every angle trying to get a picture of Harry and Dumbledore reporter pelting questions at them. Harry stared into space as if oblivious to the flashes of light and the sounds of the reporter's questions.

What do you think happend to Alex, do you think she'll be ok? (I honestly don't know myself I haven't written Chapter 29 yet)
