~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER FOURTY ONE: THE WAIT

The wait was terrible. Each twig that snapped, each time the wind rustled through the trees, and each heavy breath was the enemy sneaking up upon them. No one dared speak or so much as move. They knew if caught off guard, it would cost them their lives.

No one really knew when the war started, everything happened at once. A deathly scream filled the air, someone shouted "MORSMORDRE!" and a vast, green, skull penetrated the sky.

Hermione recognized the skull with the serpent emitting its mouth. She'd seen it once before at the Quidditch World Cup 2 years ago. It was Voldemort's mark. He'd arrived. It was time.

Hermione spun around quickly at the sound of loud breathing to find a black- cloaked hooded creature, also known as a Death Eater staring at her.
