Ron and the rest of his family had gone out for the entire evening. Little did they know what would happen.

They had gone and paid to stay in a little muggle restaurant as the only guests for the whole of the night. The food was great and the waiters were completely hospitable. Ginny and Molly went off to the bathroom but when they came back, it wasn't happy or were they alone. Five black hooded thugs surrounded them, two with a wand to their heads and an arm around their necks.

"Weasley!" "OH MY GOD!" Arthur yelled as he turned around and saw the predicament his wife and younger daughter were in.

"What do you want?" he said quivering in fear.

"Forget about fighting against Voldemort! Join us, and we will become unstoppable."

"Don't do it dad!" Ginny yelled.

There was a moment where Arthur truly looked like he had been thinking about it but all that thought was lost in the realization that someone was behind the group of Deatheaters. It was Harry.

"Yeah I wouldn't advise it either!" he said somberly, " I wouldn't want to have to hurt you guys."

"DON'T MOVE POTTER!" the shrill voice of Bellatrix came and pierced his eardrum, "I have no qualms about killing them!"

"I know Bella. You don't have to tell me that, as I know it already. All I ask is a duel between me and you. One on one, winner takes the Weasleys home."

"Harry!" Ron yelled

"I have everything under control Ron, don't worry."

"Interesting Potter. Very intriguing strategy. Using your friends to get what you want. It sounds snakelike in comparison. You would do well among us."

"You know what, if your cause hadn't taken three of the five most important people in my life away from me, I might have considered it. Are you going to duel me or not?"

"Sure Potter. You better be ready, I was trained by the Dark Lord himself."

"OK, OK whatever…"

Harry and Bella both raised their wand to their foreheads and bowed slightly, neither wanting to give the other any respect. Harry relaxed himself in a karate-like position with his wand above his head, dead set on being ready for anything.

"Averte Statum!" she yelled loudly

"Protego!" Harry yelled as he conjured the shield spell. Bella's spell bounced off at an awkward angle, nearly missing another death eater standing to the side.

Harry took the offensive for a brief moment while he shot off some arrows out of his wand and conjured a cobra that he controlled with rapid parseltongue. The snake maneuvered very quickly but was soon disintegrated by the evil conniving left hand of the devil.

"Come on Potter! The Dark Lord is the heir of Slytherin, don't you think he taught us how to deal with snakes?" she quipped. She was circling him now and he saw what she was doing, trying to wear him down. He knew that she probably had him beat in endurance, but if he could just hit her.

It was then and there he had decided. He would take the chance of taking some concentration off of her. His eyes flashed a bright green that would send some people cowering. A chair flew across the room at her. Plates. Spoons. Knives. A table.

He decided to split his concentration, one part on keeping her distracted and the other to prepare himself for a stronger attack. The number of items sailing across the room sank lower as he closed his eyes. He found the spell he needed in his thoughts and expelled the incantation from his mouth quickly and aggressively.

"Blastus!" he yelled using the Blasting charm. She didn't see the spell in time and it sent her sailing across the room but she had the reflexes of a cat landing on her feetand just barely missing running into a table. He decided to use a confusion spell next. "Confus!"

Bellatrix Lestrange's eyes went cross-eyed and she looked around deftly. This duel was as good as over.

"Stupefy!" Harry yelled knocking her unconscious and winning the duel. Three of the other Deatheaters ran to the fallen idol, they were obviously rookies. The other looked straight into Harry's eyes. He knew them from somewhere, they were not turned on him in hatred though as they were normally.He thought he saw respect there. He now knew who it must have been because no true Deatheater would ever respect him, and quite frankly he never saw Severus Snape doing it either, no matter if they were on the same side or not. It was obvious he had not thought that Harry could beat Bella.

The Deatheaters quickly Disapparated and the Weasleys went to Harry's side.

"Thank you so much Harry, I don't know what we would have…"

"Wait we need to get out of here so they don't come back. We can talk when we get back to Headquarters." he said holding out a silver ring that was obviously a Portkey. "3...2...1..."

With a familiar jerk behind their navel, all nine disappeared without another sound.
