Chapter 3
"Die"-agon Alley
Explosions could be heard from Flourish & Blotts. Hermione Granger came running out screaming like a banshee, closely followed by her best friends Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley.
"Death Eaters!" Hermione screamed, "Death Eaters!" the girl was in hysterics while the friends ran for the Leaky Cauldron. They needed to find Ron's family. Hermione ran up to the door and tried to open it
"It's locked!" she screeched, "Alohomora! Alohomora!" the door wouldn't budge.
"Reducto!" Harry cried, pointing his wand at the door. The curse just went right through the door.
"It's not working!" Hermione panicked, "it's not working!"
They turned around and saw that Flourish & Blotts was on fire. Ollivanders was half destroyed and in flames.
"They're getting closer!" Ron yelled.
"Harry, Harry," someone whispered. It was Neville Longbottem.
"What Neville?" Harry asked sympathetically, turning around.
"Crucio!" Neville shouted. Harry screamed in pain. Hermione whipped around.
"Stupefy!" she screamed, pointing her wand at Neville. Neville froze. Hermione took the curse half off, just so he could take the curse off. Neville did, and then Hermione redid the curse.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Ron asked anxiously.
"That traitor! I'll bet he killed his own grandma!" Harry said furiously.
"Well well well, Harry Potter and his little friends. I've heard so much about you, although it was all bad stuff,"
"Lucius, apparate right now!" A voice yelled made the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stand on end.
"Crucio!" Lucius said carelessly then apparated.
Harry writhed in agony on the ground.
"What do we do, Hermione?" Ron asked apprehensively.
"Stun him, I guess." They stunned him: then they revived him.
Harry got up and said: "Thanks,"
"We still have Longbottem here, what do we do to him?" Ron asked Harry.
"Enerverate!" Harry weakly so it would only un-stun his face.
"H-harry I-I'm sorry, don't turn me in, please!" Neville whispered
"I don't see why I shouldn't, Longbottom." Harry said coldly. "I trusted you and you became a Death Eater!"
"Did you kill your grandma?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, she was pathetic," Longbottem said scowling.
They stunned him again and ran off to help the Ministry clean up
It was August 16th, about a week after the attack on Diagon Alley. In the attack they had captured 6 Death Eaters (including Longbottom, Nott, Avery, and some other people). Four people were killed, including Dennis Creevy, and Cho Chang. Ollivanders was being rebuilt, along with Flourish & Blotts.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were able to force open the door to the Leaky Cauldron and found the rest of the Weasley's safe.
The rest of the summer flew bye and soon it was time to board the Hogwarts Express…
