The-Boy-Who-Lived-Again…

Chapter 29

Harry found himself at the fireplace inside Quality Quidditch Supplies. Exactly the wrong end of the Alley. He was hoping to Floo in somewhere near the combat, but the other grates were blocked. Harry ran off towards Gringotts and the fighting in search of Dumbledore.

With Remus

"It can't be…" Remus whispered as he watched. Wormtail had killed Dumbledore. His rat-like ex-friend stood on top of Florean Fortscue's holding Dumbledore's decapitated head by the beard. He could feel their chances just slipping away. Then Remus felt a sudden burst of hope come throughout his whole being.

"It's an illusion everyone! Don't worry about it!" Remus yelled!

Remus could see everyone's hope flooding back as well. People raised their wands and prepared to turn Wormtail into dust.

"An illusion is it?" Wormtail cackled. "I think not old friend. Catch!"

Wormtail tossed Dumbledore's head by it's beard and it sailed right into Remus's arms. It wasn't fake. Dumbledore was dead.

With Harry

Harry rounded the corner of the alley and saw Wormtail fifty feet ahead of him. Wormtail was on the roof of Florean Fortscue's laughing his head off. Harry raised his wand. He should be able to hit him from here.

"Stupefy." Harry said just above a whisper. He didn't want Wormtail hearing him.

Just before the curse would have connected, Wormtail vanished with a loud crack. Harry swore and decided to take a side street instead of heading straight for the action. He knew where the Death Eaters were, and if he came around behind them he'd be home free. Harry stopped for a moment. He separated his spirit from his body and went to have a look around.

With Voldemort

It was time. Voldemort stretched his arms and pulled out his wand. He waved the wand in a wide sweeping arc and yelled "eninrotcafpraw!" In a blinding blue flash, he arrived in Diagon Alley. He hadn't apparated on used floo powder. He merely developed his own method of transport, just because he felt like it. He was that powerful. Even Albus Dumbledore couldn't do that.

Voldemort was standing amidst his minions. Every one of them had bowed down, welcoming their master. He could just feel the fear coming out of Remus and his pathetic army. The end was near.

With Remus

'Damn it!' Remus thought. 'Why did he have to show up?'

"Burning charms everyone. We'll take out the Giants first!" Remus shouted trying to rally the group.

"Incendio!" Everyone yelled.

It was weak. It was like a half-hearted effort. They'd be lucky if the first giant ended up with a tan. People seemed to have given up. And the cold temperature wasn't helping anything.

'Wait…' Remus thought 'Cold air, people seeming to give up… Oh no…'

"DEMENTORS! EVERYONE LOOK OUT!" Remus yelled.

With Harry

'Shit!' Harry thought as he looked around the battlefield. Giants, Dementors and Death Eaters were everywhere! And Voldemort was there too!

'Damn… I've got to do something now! It can't wait for me to run there… I wonder…'

Harry returned to his body and walked towards the wall. There were decent footholds. Harry climbed his way onto the Roof and began to search for a happy memory. With the memory of when he brought Sirius back to life firmly in mind, Harry got ready to cast the spell. First he cast a voice amplification charm so he could force more power into the spell.

"Sonorus." Harry cast. Harry took a deep breath.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!" He yelled.

Harry heard a few windows shatter and watched as the Giants covered their ears. His Patronus in the form of a stag appeared and began charging down Dementors. Harry removed the voice amplification charm and climbed down from the wall. He might have blown his cover, but he definitely created a distraction. But now, things were better. Now he had a plan. He was going to possess Voldemort.
