Chapter 21: The Chase

Hermione was running as fast as her legs could take her. She had to tell everyone that one of the Weasley's was under the Crucious Curse. Hermione could see the Burrow she was so close.

"Granger!" screamed Malfoy.

Hermione turned around to see Malfoy running after her with his wand pointed. Hermione had no choice but to take out her wand in order to protect herself. She heard mumbling and a great shot of red sparks was flying toward her.

"Protego!" shouted Hermione. The curse came flying back at Malfoy knocking him off his feet. She continued to run up the path to the Burrow, there were two people standing at the front door. "BILL, CHARLIE!" screamed Hermione as loud as she could. The two turned around to see Malfoy firing another spell. There was a loud cracking noise and Bill and Charlie had apparated to Hermione.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" yelled Charlie, and Draco wand flew out of his hands. Draco was crawling to get it but was hit with another spell.

"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" shouted Bill. Malfoy was lying on the ground immobilized.

Harry who had gone to get the door was now outside and saw Draco lying on the ground and Bill, Charlie, and Hermione standing around him. Harry came running down toward them.

"Blimey, what happened?" asked Harry.

"It's a long story I'll tell you when we get inside," said Hermione gasping for air from all the running she had just done.

The group trudged up the walkway carrying Malfoy in there arms. A stunned Ron and Ginny stood at the door.

"What the…." questioned Ron.

"Where should we put him?" asked Hermione.

"Ummm, go put him on the sofa I guess," said Ginny still confused.

Harry was looking down at Malfoy and to his surprise Draco had his wand in his hand and a smile on his face. Hermione noticed to, had this all been planned was Bill's spell somehow a fake. Was it Bill who was under the Crucious Curse? All of this zoomed through Hermione's head, she had to tell someone and quick.
