Pirate Blood
Chapter 51
Try to Relax

Halfway through the Seventh Year Party, everything was still fine. Everyone was tense. They were starting to wonder if maybe the attack wouldn't be tonight.

Chris sat down next to Hermione and Jesse. "Maybe it won't happen tonight." Jesse suggested.

"No, it will. I can feel it." Chris said.

"How many Death Eaters were there at your other attacks?" Hermione asked.

"It varied. It doesn't really matter. With Harry here, he'll probably have all of his slaves come with him." Chris said.

"Where's Draco?" Jesse asked in hopes of changing the subject.

"He's with Blaise and Harry. They're discussing the strategy again or something."

"What is there to discuss? You hit every Death Eater you can with whatever spell will hurt them." Jesse said.

"They'd like to think they're in control of the situation," Hermione stated, "Even though they really aren't."

"It doesn't matter. They just want to be prepared." Chris said.

"Yeah, I know."

"So do you think the guy McGonagall contacted will really show?" Jesse asked.

"I don't know. He said he would." Chris told him.

"He doesn't seem that reliable, from what I've heard." Hermione said worriedly.

"We don't need him here, but it would help. He would distract Voldemort. But we don't really need him. If he comes, great. If not, oh well. It doesn't matter." Chris said.

"We should all just try to relax." Hermione said tensely.

CRASH!!!

"So much for that idea." Chris said as she pulled out her wand.

A/N: I know it was super short, but I wanted to put something up tonight. I told you this would be finished before Deathly Hallows was released. I'm going to put up another chapter tomorrow, and then the last chapter/epilogue on Friday. I'm getting sad now. This is almost over. I really hope you guys enjoy it. As always, REVIEW! I'm a feedback whore, okay? I'll post again tomorrow. L8R, Nikki.
