Chapter 22
Another sear of pain. Harry, Neva, and Hermione were left in the room alone. Harry had jumped up and begun looking around the common room.
"Harry, what are you looking for?" asked Hermione
"You really think I'm just going to sit here while Voldemort tortures Ron and the others?"
"Oh, Harry, your not going after them are you? You heard Moody, Voldemort might just be trying to trick you, besides they have Dumbledore, they're going to be fine."
"Oh Hermione, I think Harry's got the right idea. I'm coming with you, Harry."
"No, you not."
"Yes, I am."
"NO, your not."
"YES, I am."
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"Fine, It's your life on the line." Said Harry hotly.
"No," said a voice "I won't let you!" it was Hermione. She was blocking the door.
"Hermione, get out of the way," Harry had his wand out "I don't want to do this. Pertrificus Total..."
"Expeliarmus!" screamed Hermione
Harry's wand ripped out of his hand. He charged forward to try and retrieve it but tripped on the carpet and fell over. A gruesome cracking sounded and Harry was screaming, not only did he break his wrist, Voldemort had taken his first big blow on them. One, if not more were seriously injured. He had to get there now.
Hermione had rushed over to Harry and was apologizing about a thousand times.
"Here, let me help," she placed her wand on his broken wrist and muttered something and his wrist felt a little better. "Oh, Harry, did it work?"
"Almost, now I think it's just a sprain."
"Here, let me conjure a sling." She not only conjured a sling but also a cast on his wrist.
"Thanks, 'Mione."
"No problem."
"Now, lets go."
"Oh, Harry."
"Their hurt, he attacked, they need backup!"
At this Hermione finally looked convinced.
"How are we getting there? Thestrals?"
"How about our Animagi forms? Neva, you're an eagle, Hermione can ride on my back."
Harry turned into an Eagle, Hermione, a rabbit, and Neva, an eagle as well.
"We all have our wands? Ok, go!"
They took off. They soared high above the castle and over the forest. Once Harry almost collapsed as his scar seared with pain, and Neva took Hermione on the back. They flew high over towns and fields and long stripes of countryside. Finally they came to Malfoy Manor.
"Harry? How are we getting in?"
"Urm, Alohamora?"
"One, Two, Three, Alohamora!"
The door swung open and right before their very eyes stood the dark lord. Wand held up high and back turned away from the door, Voldemort was speaking in parsletoung to a giant snake who was slowly slithering towards the limp bodies of Ron, Ginny, Cho, Luna, Ernie, and Neville, who where all lying unconscious on the floor. Dumbledore had pushed their bodies behind him and was standing facing Voldemort as if they were about to duel. Behind Dumbledore stood James, with a bloody nose, Moody, unharmed, Remus, a swollen lip, and the rest of the order with many other kinds of minor injuries.
Dumbledore and the order made the mistake of staring at Harry, Ron, and Neva. Voldemort swung around and made a half grin half sneer.
"Well, well, well, Potter, and Black, a fine couple you make. But you're both a pain so, better to be in pain than to be a pain, Crucio!"
"Hermione fell to her knees clutching her stomach, Harry had to lean against the wall for support and Neva, who although obviously in a great deal of pain, remained standing. She pulled out her wand and whispered 'Expeliarmus' before collapsing. Voldemort's wand slipped out of his hand as the spell was canceled Harry flung himself out into the room and caught it. Voldemort dived at Harry and landed right on top of him. He lifted Harry up into the air by the front color of his shirt and...
