Chapter 35

The Flight of the Deatheaters

I ran through the crowd of people. Where was Harry? I wondered. Curses were flying off everywhere.

"Avada Kadavra!" I heard someone called. I looked around. A jet of green light was flying right at Katerina's head.

"You stupid," I grabbed her and heaved her to the ground.

"Thank you Karina," she said.

"Sectumsempra," I called. The death eater she was battling collapsed. I dragged her away from the fighting.

"Where is Giovanna?" I asked.

"She's in the dorm," Katerina said, "I made her promise me not to go out,"

"Who else is here?" I asked.

"I think Cheryl was here somewhere…and Wilhelmina,"

"I hope nothing bad has happened," Another curse flew towards us. Petrificus Totalus! I thought. The death eater turned to stone.

"You know non verbal spells?" Katerina screeched.
"Only a few," I admitted, stunning another death eater.

"Stupefy!" Katerina called. We ran past another death eater.

.

"Karina, what are you doing here?" I spun around. Lupin was right behind me.

"You know this isn't safe," he said.

"I know," I said, jinxing another death eater.

"You certainly know what you're doing," he said.

"Thanks," I muttered.

"Where's Harry?" Lupin asked.

"I don't know," I called to him. He sighed and kept fighting.

"It's over! Time to go!" I looked and saw Snape disappearing around the corner at the far end of the corridor. He and Draco Malfoy seemed to get through the fight untouched. All of the sudden I saw Harry coming.

"Harry!" I called, "Snape and Malfoy…just ran past,"

"I'M ON IT!" he called, pushing past me. And after that, it seemed like all the Deatheaters were leaving the castle. I ran after them.

"Stupefy!" I called, "in return I got flung back into the castle wall.

"Ow," I moaned. Must get to hospital. I thought. I dragged myself up and watched as all the Deatheaters ran out of the castle grounds. Finally it stopped so I hobbled into the castle.

"Karina!" called Hermione. She hurried up to me.

"Are you alright?"

"Just got slammed into the castle wall," I told her, "bruised but I think I'll live,"

"Thank goodness you're alright," she said.

"Is anyone dead?" I asked.

"I don't know," Hermione said, "come on. Let's go to the hospital wing,"

"Yeah," Hermione and I walked there. Madam Pomfrey examined me. She said all I had was a bruise and it wasn't too bad although she scolded me for overexerting myself after my last Quidditch injury. Unfortunately, Bill was a mess. Greyback attacked him and we have no idea what's going to happen now.
