CHAPTER EIGHT

SiBYLL TRELAWNEY'S DARING RESCUE

Ministry forces were gathered in Hogsmeade, wands raised, ready to attack five separate

caves up in the mountains. The village was deserted. Inside The Three Broomsticks, Madam

Rosmerta

was found cowering under her bar in tears. There were three dead customers at their tables. She was

to afraid to walk out of her shop because she thought she would be killed.

She was fortunate though. In the owl shop, every owl was gone. The place was torn apart.

The owner sat in a chair in the middle of the room, tied up, with a knife stuck right into his chest. He

was, of course, dead.

The sight of this once booming village was now an abandoned wasteland with bodies here and

there. Clouds had gathered over the village... it was constantly raining. A man walked past his

soldiers.

"If you die today, die while fighting," he said. His name was Erik Kelriot. He was the leader of

everyone around him. He was very muscular and wore a long black cloak. He had black hair that

was

very long and curled around his head. "We will sneak up to their headquarters when I start

walking."

Erik closed his eyes and muttered a prayer. He turned around.

"Now," he said and started to walk briskly up towards the mountain path. A group of over fifty

men and woman followed him and spread into different directions.

"Erik!" a woman whispered urgently. "Are we going to attack every cave to find the woman?"

"Yes," Erik said and was about to speak again when he tripped. He fell face down onto the

pavement.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" a voice yelled and the woman he was talking to screamed a horrible gut-

wrenching scream and collapsed next to him.

"ATTACK!" Erik yelled. "ATTACK THE FUCKING CAVES!"

People started running up the pathways. Erik was being kicked by two men in cloaks. He

grabbed his wand and yelled 'INPEDIMENTA!'

He leapt up and ran to look at the woman who had collapsed.

"Marietta?" Erik yelled at her. "DAMNIT! SHE'S DEAD!"

He took off running with everyone else. Death Eaters came running out of their caves and

shouting Unforgivable Curses at all of the Aurors. Some were flipping out of the way... others were

hit.

Dementors were floating towards them.

"BENARADO!" someone yelled and a Dementor exploded.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" A dementor fell backwards onto a Death Eater.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Four Aurors fell back, dead... staring lifelessly into the night.

"CRUCIO!" A Death Eater howled in pain.

"STUPEFY!" A Death Eater flew into the rocks.

"IMPERIO!" An Auror shouted at a Death Eater and demanded him to fight his friends.

"ENGORGIO!" and a Death Eater grew so large that you could hear bones crack. He was 16

feet tall at least when blood went flying at everyone.

"REDUCIO!" an Auror shouted at a Death Eater. He shrunk to a minute size and the Auror

stepped on him.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" and an Aurors wand flew out of his hand.

"GET BACK! EVERYONE!" Erik yelled. Aurors made themselves fly up and jet over to where

Erik was. There were only about thirty Aurors left.

"The Avada Kedavra isn't killing them at all... only a few. Engorgio is fine... but their wands

grow with it, and they can let off a curse and kill more than just one. Reducio is okay. Use

Reducio...

on the count of three, take charge and yell it."

Everyone turned around. The Death Eaters had their wands raised.

"3....2....1!" Erik yelled.

"REDDUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Everyone

screamed as they ran. Death Eaters took off running, knowing that they would die if they went any

further. Dementors glided away.

"WIMPS!" a man yelled. Wimps was not the word though. Ten figures stomped from out of the

mountains to where the Death Eaters were. Twenty-five foot giants.

One giant flung his hand down and killed three aurors instantly.

"REDUCIO!" Erik yelled. A giant sunk to five feet.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" a woman yelled at the shrunken giant. He all of a sudden caught on fire

and started screaming.

"That's not what the damn curse does!" a woman yelled and yelled 'Reducio' at every giant.

"I know that's not what it does," a voice boomed. "But it is fun to watch people burn."

An Auror looked around a confusedly. He suddenly caught on fire.

"HYDROLICA!" a woman yelled. It did not do anything but make the fire larger.

Every giant flew up and were catapulted into the rocks. None of them moved. A shadowed

figure walked forward. His gleaming red eyes, deathly.

"Hello Aurors. Welcome to my wrath," Voldemort said and laughed evilly.

"LAMENTOS VEADADAVRA!"

Ten Aurors suddenly rocketed into the sky and their bodies were ripped in half.

Erik apparated very quickly. He found himself in a cave... three guards were outside it, but

had not noticed he was there.

Sibyll Trelawney sat in the corner, hunched, chained up, and bleeding.

"Sibyll... I'll get you out," Erik said quietly and began untying her.

"Can you apparate?" he asked. She nodded. "Apparate to the Ministry. Got it?"

She nodded again as he took a cloth out of her mouth. He grabbed the keys to her chains and

unlocked them. Sibyll jumped up.

"I need your wand. They took mine!" Sibyll said urgently. Erik gave her his wand.

She said thank-you and concentrated hard. She mumbled something and vanished.

There was a disastrous scream from down on the hills. Erik ran forward for the entrance and

kicked a guard in the back. He took his wand and yelled 'STUPEFY' to each of the other guards. He

then apparated to the hills where people were screaming as Voldemort twisted the head of a young

Auror until it cracker. People were trying to curse him, but they bounced off and failed.

"APPARATE! EVERYONE! YOU KNOW WHERE TO!" Erik yelled.

Everyone looked at him.

One by one, they disappeared... all reappearing at the Ministry of Magic. People looked at

them, terrified, in the lobby.

Out of the fifty that had fought, roughly twenty were left. They were all covered in blood,

mud, and were all stiff and damp from the rain.

"What the hell happened?" Fudge asked as he came running to them all. Sibyll Trelawney was

crying in Dumbledore's arms.

"We watched Aurors get ripped in half, burn to death, and get their heads snapped..." Erik

said with sorrowfulness in his voice.

"There was a curse I have never heard of that he used. It ripped ten Aurors in half."

"We had fifty... and now– 2, 4, 6..." Fudge started counting. "Twenty-One Aurors?"

"The important thing is that Sibyll is fine..." Dumbledore said. Sibyll parted from his grip.

"They tortured me. They think I am as good as the legendary SEER... my great-great-

grandmother. I didn't know what they wanted. They told me to tell them how Harry Potter would

die.

They told me to tell them the Prophecy, which I didn't. I was then tortured for every time I did not

respond or answer," she explained.

"Did you tell them anything at all?" Fudge asked.

"I told them how this war would end."

"How is that?" he asked curiously.

"A death... betrayal in the Ministry, and the destruction of everyone's lifestyles."

Everyone murmured as they heard this. Betrayal in the Ministry was the one everyone ended

up talking about though. Who would betray in the Ministry?

"Sir," a voice said to Lord Voldemort. "Sibyll Trelawney is at the Ministry. So is Harry Potter."

"Thank you young gentlemen... any other information?"

"Trelawney says the war will end with a death, a betrayal in the Ministry, and destruction in

everyone's lifestyles."

"Thank you," Voldemort said.

"I must get back to the Ministry. I told them I was taking a lunch break."

"You may go," Voldemort said and escorted him out of the cave. "Would you kindly clean up

the mess we left near Hogsmeade. We don't want to give visitors the wrong impression.

A familiar face smirked and departed from the cave.
