Harry gulped. Everything had been going smotthly until now. He turned his head slightly to see how the others had reacted to this. Hermione's mouth was slightly open. Obviously, she hadn't been expecting this either. Ginny had turned white with fear, and her hands were trembling slightly. Draco was glowering at the Death Waters so fiercely that Harry almost laughed. He shook himself mentally and turned to look at Dumbledore. The headmaster, to Harry's great surprise, was smiling.
"Follow me," what looked like the head Death Eater said.
Immediatley, two death eaters took hold of one of the prisoners. And they marched through the forest, torches flickering eerily above their heads, and bats whooshing around the trees. After marching about fifteen minutes, the group reached another clearing in the woods. Into this one, the Death Eaters pushed the prisoners roughly. Harry fell on the muddy ground with a whump.
The Death Eaters smirked widely, and walked away.
Hermione ran to the edge of the clearing, but couldn't get out. There was an invisible wall there.
Harry groaned.
"Don't groan, Potter," Dumbledore said, "We're actually quite lucky."
Draco boggled his eyes at the Headmaster.
Dumbledore went on to explain that the accomplices had used a simple blocking spell on the clearing, but does not cover the top.
The group looked up apprehensively. The clearing was surrounded in all directions by tall, dark green pines.
Hermione smiled, pulled out her wand, and yelled,
"Accio broomsticks!"
A few seconds later, 5 broomsticks came whizzing through the air.
Everyone started laughing with relief. When the broomsticks were low enough for the prisoners to climb on, they did. They were just about to push off from the ground when a commotion behind them made them turn around. The Death Eaters had realized what the prisoners were doing, and were entering the clearing.
"Quickly!" Harry yelled, and everybody pushed off from the ground. The group made it out of the clearing just as the Death Eaters conjured broomsticks out of the air.
Like a flash, Ginny whipped out her wand and muttered something under her breath, then smiled.
"What'd you do?" asked Harry curiously.
"Closed the top up!" Ginny smirked.
Hermione giggled. Harry turned around, and sure enough, the first Death Eater crashed into the top of the dome, and fell down. The five sped off toward Hogwarts, a dot in the distance.
