Chapter Three

Ron sat calmly in the great hall with all the others. There really wasn't anything to do between now and the time they were leaving, so everyone was just lounging around, waiting. The atmosphere was calm.that is until a large portal opened in the center of the hall. People immediately began walking in, all looking tired and underfed. The resistance took action immediately, raising their wands to curse the people, when shouting could be heard through the portal

"YOU! DEATH EATER!"

"Oh shut up Fudge"

"HELP! BLACK! IT'S BLACK! DEATH EATER, DEATH-AH!"

Cornelius Fudge suddenly flew through the portal, landing spread eagle on the ground. Everyone ignored him.he had said Black.Sirius Black? Terry Boot then followed, looking worried. Ron ran forward to help the people who had obviously been rescued from a camp. Suddenly there was more screaming

"NO! HARRY!"

Harry? Harry Potter?! Another figure then flew through the portal.it was Ginny. Ron's breath caught his throat as he stared at his sister, his eyes wide. Ginny didn't acknowledge that she was safe in the castle. She pressed her hands up against the now solid portal

"No!"

Ron bolted forward

"Ginny!"

Ginny turned around and threw herself at Ron

"He's there, he's alive"

She cried, pressing herself into Ron

"Who?"

Ron asked, barely breathing

"Harry.Ron he's alive.he's there"

Ron sucked in a shuttering breath. He didn't see Dumbledore smile triumphantly. Ginny was about to say more when the talking from the other side got much clearer

"The wards won't hold!"

Came someone's voice

"That's Snape!"

Terry Boot said. Everyone was staring at the portal with interest

"Your going to have to close that damn thing faster Sirius, there's no telling how many of them are coming"

Ron recognized that voice, that was Harry. Remus, who had fought his way to the front, had bitten through his bottom lip

"It won't close any faster!"

"Ward one down"

Came Snape's monotonous drawl. Sirius and Harry didn't acknowledge him. Shadowy figures could bee seen right through the portal. Ron walked forward and pressed his hand to it

"Well then we're going to have to fight!"

Harry said determinedly

"Oh yes, that's jolly good.and ex-death eater, an accused murderer/ex- Auror, and the boy who lived are going to defeat 60 angry death eaters?"

Came Sirius's sarcastic voice

"It's that or let all of them into Hogwarts"

"Ward two down"

Snape said. Someone sighed

"You're right Harry, we'll have to fight"

"Ward three down"

"And we'll win Sirius"

The figures were becoming clearer.

"Ward four down"

"How many bloody wards are there?!"

Sirius shouted, waving his hands in the air.

"Seven"

Harry said. There was now a perfect black and white picture. Ron had backed away, in shock. He was glimpsing his best friend for the first time in nearly five years.

"Ward five"

"Can you put up more wards?"

Sirius asked

"No"

Harry said shaking his head

"It would weaken the ones we have, and they would just come in faster"

"Ward six"

"Get ready"

Sirius and Harry raised their wands and waited. Snape was backing away from the edge of the clearing. He was now standing on Harry's left side; Sirius was on Harry's right

"Seven, they're gone"

There was total silence for a few moments, then

"AVADA KADAVERA!"

The killing curse flew into the clearing. The three rolled away from the curse.

"STUPIFY!"

Sirius cried. The first line of death eaters appeared and thus began a brutal battle. Everyone in the hall watched intently. For only three of them, Harry, Sirius and Snape were doing very well. Obviously they had done this before. While most of them were watching Remus and Dumbledore were arguing

"We have to break it and go through"

"We can't break it Remus, they've already blocked it from this side, just blocking it from that side takes longer."

BOOM! The picture went out as a large explosion took place in the clearing. There was no sound or movement for a moment, then

"Dammit Sirius, try warning us first"

Came Harry's muffled voice.

"Did I get them?"

Sirius asked

"Avada Kadavera"

"Obviously not"

The picture came into view again. The floor was littered with many death eaters.but Harry, Sirius and Snape were slowing

"We need a miracle Harry"

Sirius suddenly shouted as he blasted a death eater away from Snape. Harry nodded and backed away. Everyone at Hogwarts had a perfect view of him. He pocketed his wand and turned his face towards the sky. Sirius and Snape placed themselves in front of him, fighting the death eaters back. The sky darkened and lightning flashed. Suddenly a bolt of it, shaped just like Harry's scar appeared, racing towards Harry's unmoving form. It split into two and both bolts connected with his eyes. When the bolts disappeared Harry's eyes were glowing. Snape and Sirius dropped to the floor as Harry opened his palm. A golden ball of pure magical energy was resting about an inch off of his palm. Harry smiled at the death eaters shocked faces. With a flick of wrist the ball shot forward at amazing speed and knocked ten death eaters away. Another ball immediately appeared. Watching Harry was amazing as he fought with such grace. Within two minutes all the death eaters were unconscious, or dead. The portal was fading out and everyone was fighting to keep it open. Sirius and Snape stood up. Sirius ran to Harry's side as the boy collapsed

"Harry?"

Sirius whispered. Ginny was shaking like a leaf. Ron, who stood at her side, wasn't in any better shape. Harry let out a groan

"Is it closed Black?"

Snape suddenly asked, moving towards the portal. Sirius nodded

"They can't get through; it'll fade completely in a few minutes"

Snape pressed closer, he seemed to make out the group on the other side. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face

"That's the camp in northern Madrid Albus. Fudge is in the group if you haven't already seen, I'd kill the man, he won't offer you any help.we'll be in touch soon I hope"

Snape nodded before turning his eyes to the other side of the room

"Weasley"

He grunted, before turning away. Ginny let out a sob

"Harry."

Sirius lifted Harry up

"Come along Severus, we need to get out of here before more death eaters arrive"

Snape nodded and walked over. Together both men supported Harry and slowly they began to walk away.

The great hall was silent as they watched the three men move farther away. Finally Ron snapped, he rushed forward

"Harry!"

He shouted, pressing his hand against the smoky portal. He'd seen these before, they floated there for at least four hours, but it took 15 minutes or so to actually cut them off. To his great surprise Sirius and Snape stopped moving. They seemed to be arguing, but eventually they turned around. Ron could see that Harry was conscious and he seemed to be the reason of the argument. The small group waddled forward before collapsing as one in front of the portal. Ginny and Remus rushed forward, hope lighting up in their eyes. Harry pressed his hand against the portal, and Ron could almost feel their hands touching. A small smile grew on Harry's face

"Hey Ron, long time no see huh?"

He whispered.even his voice sounded weak. Ron didn't even notice the tears pouring out of his eyes

"Yeah Harry, long time"

He mumbled. Harry let out a short chuckle

"Not to much longer though, I promise"

Ron bowed his head and nodded, slowly pulling his hand away, he understood that Harry couldn't come back now. Remus frowned at Ron as he backed away, but tore his gaze away from the red head when someone spoke to him

"How are you holding up Moony?"

Remus turned around quickly. Sirius was grinning at him. Remus moved closer to the portal

"Okay, and you?"

Sirius shrugged

"Pretty good"

The voices were becoming more and more muffled

"Take care Moony, I expect you to be in full health when I arrive at Hogwarts"

"And when will that be?"

Ginny squeaked from her place beside Remus. Snape rolled his eyes but Sirius smiled

"Soon Ginny.soon"

Sirius whispered, before standing up. Harry, Sirius and Snape glanced once more through the portal, before disappearing behind the trees.

Hermione let out a sigh

"Draco?"

She asked. Draco, who was sitting beside her, grunted in response. It was late at night, according to Malfoy, and Hermione wasn't tired. In fact her instincts told her not to sleep. Draco was getting very annoyed with her continuous questions. He thought she was being paranoid.but Hermione knew something was wrong.

"I think we should go"

"Hermione it's the middle of the night.I can't see any better than you can, we'd only hurt ourselves"

"No Draco, you don't understand.we HAVE to go"

"Hermi-"

"REDUCTO!"

Hermione felt herself being tossed aside

"Shit!"

Draco was not at her side anymore. Hermione fought to stand, leaning heavily into a tree

"Draco?"

She cried. A soft laughter was her answer

"Ah, Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger.you've been very difficult to follow"

That was not Draco. It was a woman, with a voice that made chills run down Hermione's spine. Hermione heard leaves rustling and knew Draco was standing up

"Don't move for that wand Malfoy.or I'll blow your hand off."

Hermione knew the woman was staring at her and she shivered, pressing her back against the tree

"Your reflexes are very good, for being blind and all"

Hermione narrowed her eyes, but didn't respond

"The Dark Lord didn't ask me to bring you back.so I'll dispose of you now.Avada Kadavera"

Hermione spun across the tree and dropped to the ground. She heard the curse collide with the tree and she felt pieces of bark fall on top of her. She was on her feet in seconds

"Right Hermione!"

Draco shouted. Hermione raised her wand

"REDUCTO!"

She cried. To her surprise she heard a groan from the woman. Hermione wasted no time in shooting three spells to follow the first

"Left, LEFT!!"

Hermione shot more curses, ones that affected everything within five feet, ones that went towards the only person with a wand.anything she could use to her advantage. After about ten minutes she felt someone grab hold of her

"She's gone Herms."

It was Draco. Hermione sighed and buried her head in Draco's chest

"You beat the crap out of her.my god woman; I wouldn't want to fight you, especially when you can see!"
