STORY:
Hermione and Ron joined them, some twenty minutes later, Hermione had brought a map with a red line squiggled on it.
"I borrowed this from the driver, it plots the route to Hogwarts," She traced the line with her finger, "The blue line shows the trains progress."
"Uh, Hermione, why isn't it following the red line?" Ron asked, prodding the map with his finger.
Harry looked over Ron's shoulder and saw the blue line slowly break further away from the red line.
"Assemble the DA." Harry, ordered.
Several people in the carriage looked up. The windows were freezing over. Water vapor was visible, rising into the air before disappearing. Ron has left the carriage and was shouting down the corridor. Soon all members of the DA were present in Harry's carriage.
"We have Dementors on the train, every one knows the spell?"
"Of course Harry." Cho replied quickly.
"Right, Dean, Seamus and Neville, you move everyone out of the front two carriages into the ones further back. The rest of you split into groups, no less than four, Cho, Ron, Hermione and me will fight the Dementors."
"We'll come with you Harry." Tonks said quickly.
"Right." Lupin stood up.
Harry followed the others out of the compartment and watched them follow his instructions and split into groups. Neville, Dean and Seamus strode down the corridor and out of sight. Pulling out her wand, Cho took the lead and led everyone down the train. They passed a group of first year making their way to the back of the train, and to Harry's delight, a very frightened looking Draco Malfoy.
"Oh, I don't think so." Harry said, grabbing Malfoy's T-shirt. "Time for a little chat with daddy."
Harry dragged Malfoy the length of the train and watched Cho open the driver's door and gasped at the sight before their eyes.
Inside were no less than seven Dementors. Five Death Eaters laughed under their hoods at the group standing in the doorway.
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry shouted, along with six other voices.
A stag, otter, swan, phoenix, dog, cat and snake erupted out of their owner's wands and glided around the room. Dementors screamed horribly and one lunged at the nearest person, who happened to Cho. The scabbed hands suddenly appeared around Cho's neck. She gasped as the Dementor leaned closer towards her.
The stag and swan both rounded on the Dementor and it let go of Cho. She fell silently to the floor and Harry knelt next to her. Looking around, Hermione was standing, terrified, in a corner, next to Malfoy. It was hard to tell which was most displeased about this. One of the Death Eaters stood up and walked silently towards them.
"Draco." Lucius' voice issued under the hood.
"I knew it! I knew you were a Death Eater!" Hermione said shrilly.
"Be quite, fool of a girl, filthy Mudblood."
Hermione took this to heart and rounded on Draco. She pointed her wand at his throat and began uttering a charm under her breath. Lucius' arm swung at her, sending her to the floor, wand clattering to the other end of the room.
Malfoy was standing next to his father, looking down on Hermione. Lucius reached into his robes and pulled out his own wand.
"Say good bye, Mudblood. Avada-"
"No!" Harry shouted.
Harry's stag tore up the compartment and knocked Lucius over. Kneeling over Hermione, it covered her completely so she couldn't be harmed in any way. Harry looked gratefully at the stag and then at both Malfoy's.
Cho came round in Harry's arms. She looked up into his bright green eyes and smiled weakly. Tears shone in her eyes as Harry pulled her gently closer to him. Ron was busy keeping the Dementors at bay, Tonks and Lupin dueling with Death Eaters.
Harry felt Cho become limp again. He let her gently to the floor and stood up. Crossing the room to Lucius, Harry's fingers closed around his throat. Lucius looked up at him and laughed.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Harry dodged the jet of green light as watched it hit the Death Eater dueling with Tonks. Tonks looked up at Harry, then at Lucius.
"Oh, Voldemort won't be best pleased with that Lucius. Killing a fellow Death Eater." Tonks laughed gleefully.
Tonks pulled back the Death Eaters hood and smiled triumphantly. Bellatrix Lestrange's shocked face was visible for every one in the carriage to see.
"She killed Sirius, she got what was coming to her." Harry whispered.
Hermione shook her head and opened her eyes. Sitting up she picked up her wand and looked at Lestrange. Using her favourite spell, she set Lestrange's body alight with rippling blue flames. The Death Eaters watched Lestrange's body slowly disintegrate into ash.
"Lucius, you should've kept your temper." Rookwood's voice issued from under another hood.
"I wasn't aiming for her."
"Shut up." Harry whispered. "Get up. MOVE!"
Lucius got to his feet; Harry's hand still clamped firmly against his neck. Ron helped Hermione to her feet and watched Harry drag Lucius out of the compartment. Opening a carriage door, Harry smiled sarcastically at Lucius and threw him out of the train.
Harry looked back into the compartment. Pointing to the door, Tonks led the Death Eaters to it with her wand. Pushing them out one by one, Harry heard some of them Disapparate on the way down. Hermione was consulting the map again, a look of sheer terror spread over her face.
"Harry, we have to stop the train!"
"What? Why?"
"It's heading for the cliffs!"
"WHAT?"
Tonks shut the door and pointed her wand at the floor of the train. A white light shot out the end of her wand and connected with the floor. The point of connection sent out a glowing white light to every part of the train, the floor, ceiling and walls were covered. Harry could feel the train slowing down, but not quick enough.
Hermione screamed as the front of the train lurched downwards. Several people yelled as the first few carriages fell off the cliff. The train stopped moving forward and began reconnecting with the rails. Soon the whole train was upright and moving away from the cliff edge.
"Tonks?" Hermione whispered.
"That wasn't me?"
"We're all alive?" Lupin asked incredulously.
"We're ALIVE!!" Ron shouted.
"But how?" Hermione asked.
