A/n: six reviews in three chapters? That's not very good... But I love this
fic. So I'm writing more anyway. Please review. Or else I might be tempted
to go on strike.
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger Chapter Four: Three on One
"Ginny. Run. Go to the fireplace and Floo to Hogwarts. Tell Dumbledore." Harry commanded.
"What about you?" Ginny asked
"I'll hold them off until you get through and then I'll follow behind you." Harry lied.
It pained him to lie to Ginny, but he had to. The Death Eaters wouldn't ever attack the Burrow while he still lived. There was a whoosh as Ginny Flooed to safety. Harry hid behind the couch, wand drawn, eavesdropping on the Death Eaters.
"Crabbe, you check the outside. Goyle, you go in through the back door and go upstairs. I'll check the downstairs." One Death Eater said
"Yes sir." Crabbe and Goyle Sr. replied.
'So there were three Death Eaters. This should be easy.' Harry thought.
Harry moved so that his wand was pointed at the back door. Goyle opened the door, and closed it behind him. The idiot didn't see him until Harry had already cast his spell.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Harry shouted. The spell plowed into Goyle's chest, sending the man flying. The man slammed into the door, and knocked it off it's hinges. Goyle's wand sailed neatly into Harry's hand. Goyle was out cold.
'wow' Harry thought 'My disarming spells were never that strong!'
Apparently the Death Eaters hadn't heard the racket he made, because they were sitting around talking.
"No sign of them Nott." Crabbe told the other Death Eater.
"They must be hiding. Or they could be out doing something." Nott replied "Go find Goyle. He's taking too long."
"Right away sir." Crabbe replied, tromping towards the house. The front door swung open. Harry was ready.
"Mrahcgnihsinab!" Harry shouted. The banishing charm sent Crabbe sailing backwards a good twenty feet.
"What the-?" Nott muttered drawing his wand
Harry ran out the front door, firing off a pogostick charm at Crabbe, who had just gotten to his feet.
"Duht...gniob!" Crabbe went sailing high into the air. He hit the ground screaming. After impact, he stopped screaming.
"Curse you Potter!" Nott called, raising his wand to apparate.
"Silencio!" Harry shouted.
Suddenly Nott couldn't talk. That meant Nott couldn't apparate. Fear registered on Nott's face. He turned to run.
Harry cast a leglocker charm on him. Nott hit the ground face first.
Harry walked up to Nott, who was trying to crawl away. Harry stepped on the back of Nott's neck. He didn't apply pressure, but Nott understood the threat.
"I'm going to take the silencing charm off you now. And you are going to tell me everything I want to know. Otherwise, I'll start hurting you. Understand?" Harry asked
Nott nodded, rolling over so he could face Harry.
"loofuoykaeps" Harry cast.
Nott grinned and raised his wand. Harry wasn't fast enough to stop him.
"Avada Kedavra." Nott said softly, as a beam of green light hit Harry in the stomach.
