A/N: ok I know, long time no update, but hey I'm updating now so get off my back…even though your not actually on my back…well no one is actually, rather pointless me even saying that then isn't it…hmm oh dear that doesn't make the whole world of sense but lets not get into that now shall we?

Disclaimer: I own nothing…Nada…zip…zilch…the big goose egg.

Chapter four: Help!

"Someone…please….help me…cough…Anyone…Help!" A lone figure called out across the never ending mist. He was still clutching the bloody body that was slowly losing all signs of life, and its breathing was shallow. "Soon Harry, soon. Just hold on a little bit longer and we'll get you help soon. God where are we?" His walking slowed to a crawl as he slowly lost his energy, but still he refused to leave the near-dead Harry and save himself. "Help!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What was that?" The ministry official asked as he woke up from his daze, seeing himself far away from where he had been.

"I don't know but either way we cant get back in. There's some kind f barrier that's stopping us from entering the…"

"HELP!"

"Who was that?"

"I think it was but…it couldn't be…I mean he was just a little weakling…there's no way he could've survived that battle…unless…"

"Who?"

"Well it could be Neville sir, Neville Longbottom, but well he couldn't of survived that battle…that massacre."

"Why?"

"He…he…"

"He is as strong as you and me, if not stronger." Hermione said stiffly, having returned from St Mungos and hearing what they were talking about.

"But…"

"No, you did not know him, you have no right to say that he was weak. It is probably him that has caused you all to end up here instead of at the edge of that mist so quit gossiping and get to work. We need to get in there as fast as possible if not sooner. Mike go back to the ministry and explain what has happened then go to St Mungos we may need there emergency unit. Susan get back to HQ we may need there help in sealing off the area. If no one is there try at St Mungos that's where the survivors will be."

"Err…excuse me I'm calling the shots here."

"Tough you are doing nothing except stand around and gossip, I'm taking control…"

"Hermione!"

"Yes?"

"The barriers gone and so is the mist."

"What?" She said spinning around.

"It's gone."

"Well what are we waiting for. MOVE!"
