VII. Parvati and Padma Patil
"Padma! We have an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic! They want us to go to Number Four, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, and take care of a Miss Cho Chang."
Padma Patil turned around so fast, that she had to stop for a moment to regain her balance. "C-c-cho Chang? The Ravenclaw seeker?"
"Yeah, I guess. It says here that she and Cedric set out to kill Harry and she wanted revenge for his death after he died. 'She's using mind control and should not be taken lightly. Stun her and get her back to the Ministry. We have connected their fireplace to the Floo Network. Please be careful.' It's signed 'Harry Potter'."
"Wow…Well, we best be on it."
Padma and her twin sister, Parvati, grabbed their wands and disapparated, apparating into the master bedroom of Number Four, Privet Drive. One could tell it was a master bedroom, because of the mere immensity of it. The heard cursing down in the kitchen, and crept down the stairs as quickly as possible. One of the stairs creaked, but the cursing did not waver. They found the fireplace, so they would know where it was after they stunned Cho, and crept to the kitchen. Parvati looked through the key hole, and saw that Cho had her back facing the door. She backed away and turned to her sister. They nodded, knowing that a surprise attack was needed. They listed carefully, but the cursing had ceased. They looked at each other curiously, and Padma looked through the key hole. Someone else was looking through the other side of it. The door flew open, catching Padma in the face with the doorknob.
Parvati, who had her wand raised, stunned Cho, who had not even noticed her. She ran to her sister after checking to see that Cho was out. Her sister was also unconscious. This was going to be harder than she thought. She lit a fire in the fireplace, threw in some Floo Powder, picked up Cho, set her in the fire, grabbed her sister in her arms, and stepped into the fire, herself. Breathing in hot ash, she shouted, "Ministry of Magic!"
Her body slammed into the marble floor, as she landed on the ground underneath her sister and Cho. Edging out from underneath them, she realized that her sister was beginning to wake up, though moaning from the pain. Cho was being carried away by Ministry officials, who had met the three of them at the fireplace on the other side.
Parvati lay next to her sister, who had stopped moving and making noise, hoping that someone would come to help her.
As though listening to her, someone said, "Someone from St. Mungos is on the way. They shall see to you and your sister."
"Thanks," said Parvati without looking up.
Footsteps echoed down the hall as another person came to join them.
