"They're Coming" He Whispered.
These simple words put the rest in a panic.
"Whose coming Harry, whose coming" Sirius asked, they all needed the answer.
"Death eaters"
"BACK TO THE HOUSE!" James yelled they all searched the skies and forests, waiting for death eaters to come forth.
Harry stood shakily and ran with the rest back to the house, today if need be he would fight, he would not show weakness. With that in mind his body momentarily gained back its strength but it would not last forever, but hopefully long enough for this fight.
They had literally just stepped over the threshold, when the first curses were sent flying forth.
Harry pulled his wand out ready to fight the death eaters as they closed in on the house.
He noted that the rest did so as well.
Isabelle and Brandon were slightly frightened of those that were coming, this would be there first fight but they were sure that by living with Harry it would not be there last.
The door was blasted off its hinges, and in came a excess amount of black cloaked figures.
A barrel of curses flew between the groups; none luckily were the killing curse … yet.
The groups moved into duels between each other.
Harry was just lucky to be paired up with Bellatrix Lestrange, one of the people that he hated the most in the world.
"Well if it is wittle baby potter" Bella cooed.
"Funny Bella I would have thought Voldemort would have picked more mature followers, but I guess he just takes what he can get." Harry spat.
"Crucio"
Harry fell to the ground, the hate behind this curse was vast. Harry felt as if his bones were being put through a muggle paper shredder, and his bubbling blood seemed to be well over boiling point. It felt like death with a rewind button.
Eventually Bella lifted the curse; her face bore a smile one of absolute enjoyment, enjoyment at causing other such horrible pain.
"Well Potter looks like I win"
"You shouldn't think so highly of yourself, Bella! Aprumpo" Harry snarled.
The slicing curse hit Bella's arm, the wound oozed with blood and looked to be quite deep.
Bella did not show her pain, but returned fire.
The two sparred for a good many minutes, both growing weak but neither willing to give up.
Bella looked around, and saw that many of her fellow death eaters were fleeing or on the ground, they were outnumbered.
"Mosemorde" Bella fired the dark mark into the air, where it rose above the house for anyone to see.
She then turned back to her opponent, "we'll see each other soon Potter, Flamma Inflattus"
The spell hit the wall, in which hung the potter pictures. The entire thing burst into flames, and the fire spread rapidly.
Harry watched as the frames charred, and his families pictures were melted into nothingness, he turned back to Bella to seek some sort of revenge but she was gone, and looking around the rest of the death eaters were dissaparating.
Everyone was heading out of the smoke filled room, to escape the fire. Harry headed that way as well when a scream, the scream of a boy caught his ear and he turned back to help who ever it was.
He followed the scream the best he could with the crackling of flames around him and other noises, and quickly found its owner, his brother, and unfortunately Lucius Malfoy.
Brandon was on his knees, screaming from the effects of the cruciatus curse that Malfoy had on him.
Harry was furious, he had sworn to himself, sworn that his family would not get harmed by these people, by Voldemort, well he had broken that promise.
He quickly threw a cutting curse at Lucius' leg, successfully diverting his attention off cursing Brandon.
Malfoy turned around, with an evil stare that could be seen through his mask.
"Potter" he spat.
"Malfoy" Harry returned in an equally detesting voice.
"Diffindo" Lucius cursed.
"Stupefy" Harry cried.
Both missed their targets and they brawled on. Lucius was not one to use words against his opponents in a duel like Bella, which was fine with Harry.
"Suffoco"Lucius screeched.
"Expelliarmus" Harry shrieked.
Lucius' curse hit home and Harry's throat began to constrict tighter and tighter, until he was on his knees desperate for a breath.
Harry's curse had been well aimed, but lucius had managed to dodge it when Harry was hit with his own curse.
Brandon was watching from were he was on the floor behind lucius; he stood up quickly and tapped Lucius on the shoulder.
The idiot turned around only to meet Brandon's fist and was knocked back into the wall were he then fell to the ground.
"Harry?" Brandon called over the roaring flames.
"Let's get out of here come on" Harry yelled back.
A beam fell ahead as the fire advanced upon them.
"Come on lets go" Harry cried out, standing up only to sway on his feet.
The two Potter boys staggered through the flames and fallen beams. Harry was growing weaker and weaker with each breath of smoke. The heat was overpowering, and leaving both their bodies with burns.
Brandon while in better condition then his brother was not fairing well, he to was growing weak that last curse the cruciatus hurt like no tomorrow.
There was a door just up ahead that would lead outside, but the flames were quickly trying to overtake that space as well.
The two looked at each other, "GO!" Harry yelled.
Brandon hesitated for only a moment before he ran through the small exit.
Another beam fell behind Harry, and he swayed dangerously on his feet, he knew that he needed to get out quickly and soon to.
He was about ready to run, to run through the exit when a pair of hands grasped him from behind.
They all waited frantically outsider for Harry and Brandon to come out. They were the only ones counted as missing when they checked.
Lily and James were beside themselves with worry, and the rest were right behind them.
They could hear the fire crackling and the flames roaring, and then a figure exited through the open doorway, Brandon.
Brandon ran out the exit, and immediately doubled over coughing considerably, trying to alleviate his body from the smoke that he had inhaled. His skin in places was very raw and he was throbbing from the pain the duel and fire had caused.
James and Lily ran forward, and hugged their son to pieces.
"Brandon, are you okay" Lily asked, though she knew he wasn't.
"Where's Harry?" James asked.
Brandon coughed some more and then answered, "he was right behind me"
They all looked over at the opening that Brandon had exited the opening that was no longer there.
Lily whimpered, "My baby."
A.N. okay well what do you think, I know another cliff hanger sorry I didn't mean don't hurt me. Tell me what you think.
