A/N: Sorry it has taken a while to get this chapter up. Like I said before, this is my first fanfic, and so it is taking me a while. And again, I'd like to give a big thanks to Mudblood428 for doing another amazing job beta reading for me.
There was blood pooling around the Twin's head from a nasty gash across his face. His left arm was sticking out at an awkward angle, and his nose seemed to have an extra curve. Everyone had all moved over behind a garden wall opposite the Death Eaters. Tonks, Mad-Eye Moody, and the two new Aurors whom Harry now knew to be Anthony, and Emily were currently trying to hold off the Death Eaters long enough for reinforcements to come. Mr. Weasley, Harry, Bill Weasley, and the other Twin were huddled around the injured one.
"Alright, lets wake up Fred," grimaced Mr. Weasley
"No Dad, I'm Fred, That's George," announced Fred.
"Enervate," muttered Mr. Weasley.
"Auugghh," groaned the Weasley twin.
"Decided to take a little nap, did we?" Fred joked nervously.
"Yeah, I guess I just didn't get enough sleep last night, and you lot obviously had things covered here."
But the joking had to end there. Outnumbered, the others weren't doing well against the Death Eaters. In noticing this, Harry quickly turned from the Weasleys and rejoined the battle. Harry scanned the opposition, and to his disgust he spotted Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy, newly escaped from Azkaban, both surrounded by their fellow Death Eaters. Rage coursed through Harry and blood pounded in his ears; how he hated them. Whether or not they were directly involved, they were partners in the murder of several people Harry held dear. Gripped by anger, Harry started to spew out spell upon spell. The Weasleys quickly joined him, and between their efforts and his sudden outburst it was hard for the Death Eaters to block them all, and even harder to cast any themselves. Harry started smirking. This battle was theirs, and soon he would have the great delight of seeing Lucius Malfoy being hauled off to Azkaban again.
Lucius, seeing that his side was losing, went over and touched Bellatrix's Dark Mark. It glowed, and almost instantly slight pops were heard over the noise of battle. As more and more Death Eaters arrived they started to take over the houses on either side of their garden wall and so were able not only to fire from straight across but also from above the Order. Fred, George, and Bill Weasley were now assigned the task of blocking spells while the others tried to pick off their opponents. There was shouting amongst the Death Eaters and suddenly three bright flashes came from Bellatrix's wand, obviously signaling something to her troops. In unison, the Death Eaters each picked a target and fired a stunning spell. Both Weasley twins fell, as did Bill, Tonks, and Emily.
Harry looked around in sheer terror. There was no way four could last long against twenty. Harry knew then that what he was about to do would either be incredibly stupid or extremely brave. He knew he had to do something to draw the fire away from the others and make it possible for them to hold out until reinforcements came. But he had no idea what that thing was. Harry thought he heard a distant pop, but he didn't have time to think of that now. What he needed to do now was get them out of this.
He quickly vaulted the garden wall. Harry ducked down and muttered "Protego," blocking many stunning spells from hitting there target. He then dodged behind a car barley missing a killing curse. Dashing around the car, Harry picked four marks and sent stunning spells at them, three of which hit their mark. Harry looked away from his targets just in time to see several different killing curses coming at him. He fell to the ground, barely dodging them and without thinking he turned, and with all the strength he could muster, he bellowed "SECTUMSEMPRA!" as he swished his wand in a great arc starting at the corner of the first house, across the garden wall, and ending at the corner of the second house.
The spell left his wand in a jagged, purple line. Time seemed to slow as he felt the surge of power leaving him and he watched it travel. The spell hit. Immediately, the curse cut through the sides of the houses, bursting the water lines and sending water everywhere. The sections above where the houses were cleaved came crashing down upon the Death Eaters bellow with a horrible crunch. Then the garden wall split across its middle and fell over, exposing the Death Eaters. In some places, where the wall had been thinner, the spell continued on, causing sprays of blood to explode out of Death Eaters chests before they went pale and fell to the ground.
Harry scrambled up, but before he could even get back to the rest of the Order, three beams of red lights converged and hit him straight in the face…and he saw no more.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It was amazing - you should have of seen it. He just jumped over the wall and blocked like five spells with just a flick of his wand. Then he took out like three people with stunners. And finally, he does that 'sectumsempra' thing, and we all felt like this big rush of wind, and it cut through stone!"
"But it only cut me, how could it cut through stone?"
"That's what I'm saying. This was mighty powerful stuff."
"Now you lot wouldn't be talking about me behind my back would you?" Harry's head hurt and his vision was really blurry, he reached over and grabbed his glasses of the bed side table. As the scene before him came into focus he could see the Weasley twins, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sitting in front of his bed looking both anxious and excited. He was in the Twin's old room; lying around him were the boxes full of Fred and George's old things.
"No, we're talking about you right in front of you," remarked Fred.
"Harry!" Suddenly Harry was hit by a big brown blur.
"Now Hermione, give him some room to breathe," said Ron.
"Mum, Mum! Harry's awake!" called Ginny.
There were some quick footsteps, and through the door came Mrs. Weasley followed by Bill, Mr. Weasley, and Remus Lupin. Harry was soon trapped in one of Mrs. Weasley's bone crushing hugs.
"Oh, I am so glad you're all right, we've been so worried about you! Don't you ever do anything like that again do you understand me! That was foolish." Mrs. Weasley scolded.
"Alright, Mrs. Weasley I'll try. But there is one thing I don't understand. How is it that Fred and George saw what I did? They were knocked out when I did it."
"That's because before you even jumped over that wall, the rest of the Order, myself included, and half of the Aurors Apparated and revived them all. As soon as you got hit with the stunning spell we finished off the exposed Death Eaters and got you."
"So you needn't have done your "saving people thing"." Hermione added, smiling.
Harry turned a slight shade of red and laid back down. He couldn't believe he had done something so foolish. He had always had the tendency to impulsively act the hero, and it had almost always led to some serious trouble.
"But it was still amazing, mate. I've only seen that type of magic from Dumbledore," said George.
Harry went pink again. That was a major compliment, but Harry knew it wasn't true. It was a good block, his stunning spells were accurate, and he had no idea how the sectumsempra went through stone, but… be as good as Dumbledore? There was just no way. The only thing special about him was his scar and a prophecy - it wasn't power, it was luck. Wasn't it?
"Well, I'm just glad to be home again."
