Hermione looked upwards. The big yellow dot was still there.
Harry was looking around frantically. Why weren't the teachers doing anything?
Then he realised what the bang had been. All of the teachers, including Dumbledore, were under a body bind curse. Mufflestutter was walking slowly around the hall, obviously deciding which Muggle born to kill first. He stopped at Penelope Suverrland, a Muggle born Ravenclaw.
"Hello, dear." He raised his wand. Penelope burst into tears.
"Avada Kadavra!"
Penelope lay flat on the ground. "Filthy Mudblood" He cursed under his breath. Mufflestutter moved on to Hermione. He raised his wand.
"Avada….."
"No!" Lily raised her wand. "Petrificus Totalus!"
Mufflestutter dodged it and raised his wand for Lily this time.
Seeing this, Ron ran in front of Lily in an attempt to stop her from getting killed.
Gingratus rolled his eyes. "Get out of the way, boy!"
Ron shook his head.
"No chance."
"Ok, it looks like you will have to die too!"
"Avada Kadavra!"
A beam of green light shot out towards Ron and Lily….
"Stopufus Cronemdo!"
The teachers had recovered from the body binds, with help from Fred and George Weasley. Dumbledore shot the "Stopufus Cronemdo" at the beam of light, which made it disappear.
"Albus!" Mufflestutter said, with a look of pure hatred. Dumbledore nodded.
"Yes, Gingratus. Now I believe you have murdered yet another innocent student." Dumbledore raised his wand.
"Gee-oh-Moranus!"
Mufflestutter suddenly froze up and turned a blue-grey colour.
"Remove him, please, Severus! Minerva!"
Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape went to carry out Dumbledore's orders.
"Professor Flitwick, see to the dead student. Call her parents, explain this dreadful situation. We will have to send the poor girls body home."
Lily approached Ron and kissed him, on the lips, for a while. When they broke apart, she smiled.
"Nobody has ever risked their life for me before. Thank you so much!"
Ron felt like he had just been given one million Galleons!
