"We All Fall Down"
Chapter 7: The Fatal Stand
"Harry, do you understanding what I told you? Do you understand why it is so important we protect you know?" Mrs. Wesley sounded very stressed at the moment. "Yes, I guess so, but why, why do I have to goto…" Harry went dead silent. "Did you hear that?" Tonks asked Moody. "Yeah I heard it alright, Harry and Petunia, go upstairs into the attic, close every door on the way so they have to search every room if something slips past." Moody ordered. "Arthur, Tonks you two and I will station around the house, use any force necessary, if is most important Harry is kept safe, it is absolutely vital that he stays alive!"
Mr. Wesley gave strategic locations to Moody and Tonks. "Tonks, you take the stairs and front door. Moody take the lounge, and I will take the kitchen." Arthur directed them. "Right then remember the orders motto people, assume nothing, question everything." Tonks whispered as they stationed themselves. Moody thought to himself *What's wrong here? What am I feeling about this attack?* Beyond hall Moody could just see Tonks knocking over a coffee table and ducking behind the hat stand.
Then there was silence in the house, no one moved. It seemed like hours to them when only seconds had passed.

Tonks felt a cold chill through her bones. As she got up still totally petrified of losing her life she saw a green streak of light shoot out of a death eaters wand. Tonks froze as she saw a body fall to the floor. She ran to the entrance of the lounge wand drawn ready for anything, but all that was left was the cold stiffness of death. Tonks walked over to Mad Eye still ever vigilant, she bent down to check his pulse. *Nothing* Tonks thought to herself as she got up again now angry as ever. Arthur came in the lounge also with his wand drawn. "Moody's gone, I just saw him get killed. It was terr…" Tonks felt a shiver down her back as if something was wrong, but she couldn't pin point it. Arthur also felt it, for some reason they felt like they were already dead, just coldness…
"Petrificas Totallis" the same cold voice hissed as Tonks felt herself collapse beneath herself. Mr. Wesley now feared for the second time in his life that he was going to die, alone, murdered in cold blood. He couldn't move out of the pure shock that he may never see his family again. He felt a chill in his bones like never before. He forced himself to turn around and face his foe. Just in time to see Luscious Malfoy's evil grin.
"Conjunctivitis" Luscious hissed, blinding Mr. Wesley. "Wesley, you're more of a disgrace then I thought. How can you call this DUMP a home, what filth! You disgust me to no end Wesley, but don't worry, I shall end your pitiful existence here and now!"
"Rictusempra" George yelled as he Fred followed hot in his trails down the hall. Luscious was now laughing his brains out on the floor, he kept trying to produce a counter-charm but could not hold his voice long enough to cast one.
"Expelliarmus" Another voice hissed. Both Fred's and Georges wands flew across the room to another hooded figure. "Stupefy" The voice hissed again. Mr. Wesley fell to the ground. "You will never win this war, give Potter to us. Or you'll never see Wesley again! Mobilicorpus!" With that the hooded figure fled the scene with Mr. Wesley floating behind him. "Morsmorde!" Luscious let out before vanishing into thin air with a port key. "Mum's going to kill us, he took our wands." George muttered.
