Ron stood next to Hermione and Remus Lupin, his wand drawn and his heart pounding in his head. Voldemort was here. Voldemort was actually here standing in the hallway, his wand drawn against Order members and Harry.
Hermione tugged on his sleeve. "Where's Trinity?"
"Safe," he muttered back.
Looking back down the hall, he was glad he had left Trinity in that room. She'd have tried to stop all this, he knew she would. He just hoped he'd still be alive to go and get her.
He sent a wad of rope from his wand, tying up the nearest Death Eater and another, he shot with a Bat-Bogey Jinx.
Through the crowd of Death Eaters and Order Members, he could see Harry standing off with Voldemort, firing all the jinxes and hexes he could think of while Voldemort swiped them away with a flick of his wand.
And then he saw Trinity. . . .
Everything seemed to stop, though the battle still continued around him. He could see Voldemort's lips move, telling Harry to prepare for his last breath, raising his wand towards Harry's chest.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!!"
The spell was loud enough to shake Ron from his stupor. "Trinity," he gasped.
The green light shot from Voldemort's wand while Harry stood in shock, not knowing what to do. Trinity rushed forward. "Trinity!" Ron said, a little louder.
Ron watched in his horror as Trinity pushed Harry out of the way, knocking him to the floor. The spell hit her, tossing her back against the wall. "TRINITY!" Ron cried.
Everyone stopped, confused, watching as Trinity began to glow, green light coming from her eyes, mouth, and limbs. Her body convulsed and the green light shot at Voldemort, striking him in the chest. The impact caused a blinding light that washed through the hallway, covering all that stood watching, knocking them all to the floor.
It flooded back to Voldemort, hitting him with even more pain. Ron looked up from his place on the floor. Death Eaters were sprawled out on the floor, Order Members standing over them, conjuring ropes to hold them. Voldemort lay on the ground twenty or so feet away, clearly in pain, while Harry stood over him, his wand out, but his eyes were not on Voldemort. They were on. . . .
"NO!" Ron cried, scrambling to his feet. Remus and Hermione grabbed him from behind, holding him back while he screamed.
Trinity lay on the ground across from Voldemort, her eyes wide open and lifeless.
Ron heard Harry viciously mutter the killing spell at Voldemort before Remus and Hermione let him go. He rushed forward, his heart pounding in his ears. That same heart broke when he reached the girl he had come to care for. He dropped to his knees, pulling her up to his chest, cradling her in his arms. The tears fell, hard and unyielding, dropping onto Trinity's face.
Harry reached forward and closed Trinity's eyes gently before turning to comfort a sobbing Hermione. Remus came up behind Ron and placed a hand on his shoulder, but there was no comfort for Ron.
It wasn't fair, he'd just found her.
It wasn't fair at all.
