Chapter two: How Hogwarts Fell
Harry could hear the screaming of the students around him. They were panicking, a very bad thing to do around dementors. Shaking his head, and freeing himself from his trance he drew his wand from his pocket, desperately trying to think of a happy enough thought that would drive away hundreds of dementors. Just as he thought of it, he knew it was going to be impossible, but he had to try. Raising his wand he thought of Sirius, and the moment he said Harry could live with him if he wanted to. "Expecto Patronum!" Harry shouted. Immediately a stag leapt out of the end of his wand, he knew it would distract them for moments. "Run!" He shouted to the students. They didn't need much prompting, they began running for Hogwarts where he could already see Professor McGonagall opening the doors. Keeping his wand out he followed watching the backs of the people were lagging behind.
He knew they would never make it. What they needed was a distraction. Only thinking about the safety of his friends, he broke out of line, ignoring the shouts of his friends telling him to come back. He shot another patronum at the dementors hoping to gain their attention. It worked, the demetors immediately turned away from the larger group of students, to come after him. No Dementor would do that if they were independent, clearly they had orders to either bring him down, or take them to their leader, who in this case was the person Harry least wanted to see. Taking a deep breath he ran to the Forbidden Forest and plunged inside.
McGonagall watched as Harry plunged inside the Forbidden Forest with most of the dementors on his heels. 'Foolish child' McGonagall thought with a sigh. 'Hogwarts can't be saved, at least not now, the dementors were just the appetizer. There would be hundreds of Deatheaters converging on Hogwarts soon, and we don't have the man power to push them away. The best we can hope to do is escape with our lives so we can fight another day. I hope you're alright Harry, I pray that you don't come back here, Hogwarts will be in different hands.' And with that she ran inside to get the floo network up so they could escape.
2 HOURS LATER WITH HARRY
"Why did I do this again?" Harry moaned in annoyance, "I just had to play the hero, now I have 500 mad dementors chasing me through a forest which is deadly itself, in the dark, with who knows what inside it read y to have me for dinner." Cursing as his hair caught in a bush he roughly yanked himself free and kept running, not daring to use his wand to light a path in fear of the dementors catching him. Harry had no clue how long he had been running only knowing that he had to keep on going, just a little bit farther. Mounting a small hill, Harry slowed to a walk, half bent over from the cramps of running so long without a break. Wiping his forehead and looking up Harry gasped. There were lights, he was saved! It might even be Hogwarts. Maybe he had gotten turned around somewhere and he had somehow made it back. He didn't stop to think how unlikely it was because he didn't want to believe it. Happy to be home again, he began to run not looking where he put his feet, and it was because of this that he did not see the ground end, and his last thought before he lost consciousness was, ' I guess it wasn't Hogwarts after all.'
