Ch 14 Personal Vendetta

A/N: Well, the writers block set in and the homework load increased. The chapter after I promised to get more frequent updates (pulls at collar nervously as angry readers glare) uh... here's the next chapter.

"Interceptum!" Ginny's voice rang out.

Harry saw a white light shoot from Ginny's wand and collide squarely with the Death Curse. The curses seemed to wrestle with each other but Ginny's spell or charm or whatever it was seemed to win out and the Green spell faded into oblivion.

"What the?" Harry started. But remembered the fact he was battling 7 Death Eaters and decided that that required more of his focus. He aimed his wand at Lestrange but she was too quick, she sent a Cruciatus curse his way and Harry's mind flashed to a lesson taught only a few months ago where professor Tonks had talked about the Patronus Charm.

Harry focused his mind completely on Ginny and his love for her "Expecto Patronum!" shouted Harry. A silver stag burst from the end of his wand, taking the curse head on. Harry responded with a curse of his own which narrowly missed her head.

"Little Potter has an attitude!" Lestrange shrieked, manic laughter ringing through the air. "Let's teach him a lesson!"

Harry was vaguely aware of a battle going on around him. He heard explosions and the occasional scream but didn't care. He thought he saw Ron fall but couldn't be sure. His mind was completely focused on one thing, avenging his Godfather's death. He launched curse after curse in her direction, blocking the ones she threw.

The lights went out; Harry's blood ran cold, he knew this feeling. Dementors. Instead of blocking the disfigurement curse sent his way by Lestrange, he dived out of the way. This action gave him enough time to survey the scene, he saw that only Hermione and Ginny were still standing they were both battling hard, and by the look of it Hermione was dueling two Death Eaters at once. Then he saw it, a cold merciless, seemingly empty cloak drifting towards one of the bodies. Harry realized with a start that it was Ron's. Lestrange sent a curse his way and it skimmed across his left ear, leaving a trail of blood. He threw a hex blindly over his shoulder, rolling away to get a good shot at the Dementor, he aimed and in his strongest voice said the incantation.

The now familiar stag shot from the tip of Harry's wand, repelling the Demetor.

"Expeliamus!" came Lestrange's triumphant cry. Harry's wand came ripping out of his hand. She caught it easily, using a very complex charm to vanish it. At wand point Harry stood, facing his Godfather's murderer.

"Now, you will follow in the footsteps of your dear Godfather and my dear cousin" she aimed her wand at Harry's heart but he had a plan.

He pointed his hand at her and muttered "Expeliamus"

"Avad Kada..." she couldn't finish the curse as her wand had flown from her hand. Harry's wandless magic had taken her by surprise. He clutched her wand tight and said "Petrificus Totalus!"

The look on Belatrix Lestrange's face would have been humorous, but there was absolutely nothing funny about the situation.

Having successfully immobilized his opponent he looked over to find that Hermionie had stunned her first opponent and Ginny had got her opponent with her legendary Bat-Bogey Hex. The two of them were now teaming up on a single Death Eater. Harry joined them and they brought the final Death Eater down.

Once the room was clear, there attention turned to the wounded, namely Ron and Seamus.

"It's just a stunning spell" Harry said looking at Seamus.

"Oh my god! Ron!" came Ginny's voice. Hermione rushed to Ginny's side and gasped.

"We have to keep fighting!" Ginny muttered "You too go ahead, I'll stay with Ron"

"NO! you two go I'll stay" Hermione insisted, performing a charm of some kind on Ron.

Ginny touched Harry's shoulder and gave a little nod, and the two left the building in silence. The square beyond was quiet, but for the occasional moan from one of the wounded. Ginny performed pain lessening charms on every student or Auror she saw. They saw a black cloak billowing behind a building and ran to take on the Death Eater but found none other the Professor Snape. He put a finger to his mouth to signal for silence, pointing to a small gathering of hooded figures down a side street.

Harry was about to protest and attack, but Ginny's hand on his arm held him back.

"Silence" Snape whispered. It was the last thing Harry heard before his head exploded in pain.

A/N: Ok, so I procrastinate so what? Thanks to you reading and don't forget to review. I'm having some fun with this now. And hey, don't forget to read "A Hogsmead Aside" which is Ron and Hermionie's veiw up till the begining of this chapter.

P.S.

Review that too.
