Chapter 2 Running down the stairs to see what was going on they were blown back by a burst of red light and when they got all they could see was Bill and Charlie fighting with Percy and Crab with pale Mr. and Mrs. Weasly stumbling to there feet wands ten feet away. "HA HA HA HA YOU WILL ALL DIE BY OUR HANDS FOR THE GREAT VOLDEMORT!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Percy that ending with more hysterical laughter from him. Trying to suppress their fear Harry and Ron got up hurriedly and picked up their wands "Percy what are you doing?" asked Harry "Serving the dark lord of course." answered Percy. "What did you do to Dumbledore?" said Harry warily "He was taken care of as deserves him," said Crab. "Croco!" said a familiar voice from behind him. "Draco?" said Harry unbelievingly. "That's right Harry, oh by the way Dumbledore was only knocked unconscious." suddenly Harry realized Percy crying on the floor in obvious pain and and crab disappearing with several ministry wizards guarding him. "The ministry's men don't even care that you're using an unforgivable curse?" "Yes well they thought it appropriate for someone how just used it on his own father." After the whole epic ended Harry, Draco, and Ron walked up the stairs to Ron's room. For a little while Harry and Ron interrogated Malfoy on how he got there and why he saved them. All of answers no matter how direct could answer why he saved them when their houses were at war. "Well after a while I got sick of slytherin bossing me around like I was a slave and decided that I would join Gryffindor to make up for all the Gryfindors that joined slytherein like Nevel Longbottom and Collin Creavly." " What those two joined Voldemort!?" said Ron quickly covering his mouth from the shock of him saying Voldemorts name. " Yes they joined that fool riddle." said Hermione irritably. "Were you'd come from Hermione?" Asked Harry. "Ah I see Draco got here before me. Hense the reason Percy's in tears right?" " Ya that's right but how did ether of you get here?" asked Ron "That's kind of hard to explain, but ill tell you anyways." And so Hermione started the telling of how she and Malfoy had gotten there. After about two hours she ended to the call of Dumbledore at the door. "Harry, Ron, Hermione come down stairs with me will you please. Ah yes and you to Draco." As an after thought. Following Dumbledore down stairs they wondered what he wanted them for. When they came into the kitchen there was a table set up for a council. mooshining for them to sit down he called all the others to the table which included some men from the Ministry of Magic. "So, let the council begin." said Dumbledore. And so they started talking about if the ministry would join Gryffindor or if they would at least escort Harry, Ron, and Hermione to the school, which would be the Safe point for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw while the base of Slytherin and Hufflepuff was the old clearing where Aragog and his children once lived but were chased out by Vodemort. "I wonder," whispered Harry "Do you think they'll give us a chance to fight Voldemort's Death Eaters?" "Doubtable" "Bloody hell where'd you come from Sirius?" "Hold on Sirius what the hell...I thought you you were dead!" "No not dead just pulled through to Askaban." "Pulled through to Askaban?" "Yes that was a, well I guess you could call it a portkey to Askaban." Sirius got up from where he had sat down and motioned for them to follow. When they got up stairs, once again in Rons room, they all started questioning Sirius on what had happened in the 3-month interval. And as it turned out Sirius had used the same trick to get out of Askaban this time as he did the first time. "But Sirius didn't the workers at Askaban expect it having already seen what you could do?" asked Hermione Believe it or not they didn't. Apparently they thought I had used force to escape." "But you couldn't have you didn't have your wand the first time!" exclaimed Harry. "True but they didn't know that I didn't get it back like I had threatened." "You threatened the Dementors! That's impossible they would have sucked your soul out! Wouldn't they?" said Ron "Oh they tried for sure but you see the owners were afraid that Voldemort would try to kill them for it so they kept them of me." They group of friends new [and old] talked for almost the entire night before they went to sleep. Early the next morning Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco were woken up early to get ready for the trip to Hogworts. ******************************************** Nearly eight hours later the group reached their destination of Hogwarts only after being pulled through 3 portkeys and walking 130 miles, some of which [lucky for them] was actually on broomsticks. "So now what do we do?" asked Ron rather impatiently. "Now we send a few of you out to the different schools to get more wizards and students to aid us." answered Dumbledore.
