Ch.18- Courage under Fire
The students marched bravely out to meet their adversary. They became more and more anxious, and their march became more like a run. They ran to the aid of their noble professors. Professor Sprout turned around and yelled to Dumbledore, "Albus! Albus look! The students are coming!" Dumbledore turned and watched (only for a few seconds) students from every house and every year run towards them. "What should we do with them?" Dumbledore looked at Professor Sprout and the twinkle in his eye came back. "Let them be." That was all he said. Professor Sprout didn't exactly like that answer, but said nothing further on the matter.
The students began to scream out curses this way and that. Death Eaters were being disarmed, stunned, and so on. Once the Death Eaters were disarmed other students would disarm them. The Death Eaters definitely weren't prepared for this onslaught of students. Harry was surrounded by a group of seventh years. He didn't like that, because he came out there to fight. He would still send out curses, but he was encircled so he couldn't do much.
Sarah was protecting the other students. If they had been stunned she would revive them. She would shield them as best as she could, but some of the curses were too strong for her. The other kids didn't get the full impact of the curse, but they were still hurt. Sarah would then yell at some other kids to go to the infirmary and bring as much medicine as they could carry.
Ron was trying his hardest, but he didn't do much. Hermione was doing probably the best. Her aim was impeccable. Her curses deadly. She was on fire, and nothing stopped her, except... While she was saying a curse someone stunned her (it was a second year). The boy walked over to her. "Oh no! I didn't mean to. I am so sorry. Can someone help me?" Ron ran over to her. He yelled the counter curse. Hermione sat up. "What happened?" Ron told her that she had been stunned. The student who had stunned her had already ran away. Hermione got up and thanked Ron, and was back to attacking the Death Eaters.
The students that Sarah had sent to get medicine had come back. They had brought back a lot of creams, potions, etc. Sarah began to apply the different medications to those that needed them. Sarah would occasionally look around hoping to see Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Draco. She saw Ron revive Hermione, and saw Harry surrounded (Harry had begun to curse at the students "protecting" him). She looked around and finally saw Draco. He had dropped his wand because he had punched a man in the face. He was searching for it, and the man was pointing his wand at Draco. All of a sudden Sarah's heart stopped beating, and she felt frozen. There was a bright flash and the man had fallen on top of Draco. Professor Snape had seen what Sarah had (but he had reacted better), and he hit the man with a curse. Draco was yelling, "Get him off of me! Help! This guy weighs a ton. Please I can't breathe." Ron ran over to him, and helped roll the guy off. "Thanks Weas- I mean Ron." Ron just nodded his head. They turned away from each other. Sarah looked down and began to apply cream to a boy's arm.
After what seemed like forever they had backed the Death Eaters farther away. Harry's "posse" had dispersed, and he was walking around. Sarah had put some other students in charge of the temporary "infirmary". She walked up to Harry.
"Are you okay?"
Harry looked at her like she was crazy. "I haven't even done anything. I have been surrounded by wall of people. So to answer your question, yes, I am fine."
"Ok. Just making sure. Where's Ron?"
"Over there." Harry was pointing over her shoulder. She looked and he was helping a little girl up. Sarah looked around them. They were at the edge of the Dark Forest. Harry began to hold his head. "What's the matter? Harry are you ok?" His face began to grimace, and it was contorted with pain. "My scar!" Sarah had heard the stories about when his scar hurt and began to look wildly around. She heard Harry scream, and she turned to see what was the matter with him... But Harry was gone. She began to yell out his name. "Harry! Harry! Where are you? Can you hear me? If this is a joke it isn't funny!" She heard him scream again, and it was coming from the forest. She ran into the forest following the scream that still lingered in her ears. She ran as far as she could (basically until she was out of breath), but she still hadn't seen Harry. She leaned up against a nearby tree to catch her breath. She heard a sound that made her blood curdle. It was someone talking to her. She looked up at a face with no expression. It looked as though it was trying to smile, but the effect that it had on him was horrendous. She began to shiver. "Who do we have here? Are you looking for him?" He pointed to a huddled figure not far from him. "What have you done to him?" The figure began to laugh. "Do you know who I am?" Sarah looked at him straight in the eyes. "Yes. You are Voldemort. And about 15 years ago a little baby almost killed you. Ever since then you have been hell bent on killing him. If you ask me I think you have some ego problems." As soon as she had finished saying it she regretted it. He hit her, and not with a curse but his hand. "You are brave. Are you afraid of me?" She regained her composure. "Me? Afraid of you? I think not." And she spat at him. He hit her again. "I admire your courage, but I can read your mind. I know the truth, and I don't appreciate liars." Harry began to move. "I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of what you might do." Voldemort laughed at her answer. "You're smarter than you look." Sarah ran over to Harry, but she was stopped by another blow to the head. Everything went black.
The Ministry finally arrived, and were amazed to see that they didn't have a lot to do. The ground was littered with people. Oliver immediately went to look for Sarah, but he couldn't find her. He found Ron. "Hey, have you seen Sarah?" Ron thought about it for a minute. "I haven't seen her since she was walking with Harry. Speaking of Harry. Have you seen him?" Oliver shook his head. "No, sorry. But thanks for your help." Oliver began to search. He saw Draco walking towards him. Oliver didn't know what to do. He wanted to hit him, but he wanted to see if he knew where she was first. "Have you seen Sarah?" Draco shook his head. Oliver began to walk away, but Draco called his name. He turned around. "Listen, I'm really sorry..." But he was cut off. "This isn't the time or place to talk about this." Oliver turned and walked away. Draco cursed under his breath. Well that didn't go to well.
Notes- Wow! Another crappie chapter. That was just straight crap. Oh well. Any suggestions just let me know. Or if you thought that was crap too let me know.
I have a few recommendations to make:
Kellie Louise- "Dead eyes never blink"
Amo il ragazzo- "Only time will tell"
Redclia- "Of broomsticks and bookworms"
Zilent1- "The Story of Zephlin"
