"We All Fall Down"
Chapter 4: What Lies Beneath
"Harry, I, I just…"
"Huh, Hermione, what are you doing? Why are you crying?" Harry jumped to his feet and re-adjusted himself to try and keep his composer. Harry observed the havoc around him, the cyclone of, of what he had dreamt. Hermione woke him up where his dream left off. He looked up he knew they were coming but, he looked anyway. *"Yes, he thought I was dreaming, but everything as it was in my dream is now real, except I am not dead, strange I wish Sirius were here."*
At the thought of Sirius Harry stopped. No longer was he concerned with his surrounding environment, he had caught himself off guard. How could he do this to himself all the time thinking of Sirius and the Order, all Harry wanted to do was explode.
"Harry are you alright dear who look pale, come on get in the car and lay down, Mr. Wesley has conjured a bed in it so you can lay down, come on Harry dear, settle down it is only us, believe me we're in more shock then you, we thought you, you were…" Harry was brought back to reality by Mrs. Wesley's voice. "Dead." Harry finished off the sentence.
"Yes, Harry dear you gave us a shock, but what happened here? What's going on?" Mrs. Wesley questioned. Harry really didn't want to answer that question because even himself did not know, surely he should be dead, Bellatrix had killed him, why was he not dead? Harry was relived to hear Mr. Wesley's voice. "Not time to stall, Harry can tell us all what happened when we go back to headquarters, We'll go from the burrow that way we can't be followed, not by spy's in the open anyway."
"Right you are Arthur, come on you lot up you get, and off we go, no time to loose, hurry up come on, come on!" Mrs. Wesley was obviously in a state of utter panic, she reminded Harry of a dog chasing it's tail, running around in circles never achieving anything except exhaustion. "Right first we have to get to Harry's house and pick up his school equipment and any other things, but we will have to be very quick." Mr. Wesley said very sternly.
Harry had never seen Mr. Wesley this serious, not even at Harry's court case, it was possibly because Dumbledore was not backing them now, he was all the way at Hogwarts, and there was no way to tell him. Mrs. Figg came sprinting out of her house when she saw Mr. Wesley speed down the street and come to a screeching halt. Outside Harry's house.
She was thrown into a state of panic when she saw Harry, battered and bruised on the back seat. "Harry? HARRY! What have you done to the boy Arthur Wesley? Just because I can't do magic doesn't mean I can't take you on!" Mrs. Figg screamed, Harry now truly knew Mrs. Figg was on his side, he had never liked her up until this point, she was truly there for him.
"Settle down woman, we found him like this now help us get Harry's gear he is in grave danger here." Mr. Wesley cried back in protest.

"Who's this HOOLIGAN outside on our street, if it is Dudley I am going to show that boy, teach him a lesson or two for…" Mr. Dursley was cut short when he heard voices. "REDUCTO!" The front door, smashed straight off the hinges and hit the rails on the stairs where it smashed into hundreds of pieces. Mr. And Mrs. Dursley ran out the into the Hall as fast as they could with the first thing they could grab.
"No child of mine is going to hang around with you bastard hooli… Your, your wizards…" Mr. Dursley stuttered out, amazing himself at the immediate recognition. "MOVE OUT OF MY WAY, HARRY IS IN DANGER AND WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE, IF YOU DON'T HURRY UP I WILL CURSE YOU INTO NEXT WEEK!" Mr. Wesley screamed at the Dursley's who were scurrying and tripping over themselves trying to get out of the road.
As the Wesley's, Hermione, Mrs. Figg and Harry all drove down the street Harry, sat up to see what everyone was doing. Mr. Wesley was arguing with himself, with what seemed to be which was the fastest way back to the Burrow, Mrs. Wesley was backseat driving, screaming out for Arthur to speed up, slow down, go right, go left. Mrs. Figg was in the front with Mr. Wesley and she was hurriedly reading a book that resembled the Wizard's Codes and Conducts.
Ginny, Fred, George, Hermione and Ron were all whispering in amongst theirs elves, although Harry did not care what they were saying, because as they drove past the train station no one but Harry noticed the train station was no longer in a ruin, and was no longer unoccupied. The train station, was now in the state it was before Harry was attacked, and there were a number of figures gathered in it. One, Harry could clearly see was Antonin Dolohov…
