AN: Here's the next chapter! I do not own Harry Potter! Enjoy!

The chill of the air mixed with the fog-like clouds didn't deter Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody from riding off into the north. Mundungus Fletcher held tightly onto Mad-Eye's waist.
Bill and Fleur were somewhere close behind; far enough, though, so that there wasn't two 'Harry's seen near each other. Mad-Eye could no longer hear the small swish of the brooms or the flapping of Thestrals' wings, and Hagrid's crazy motorcycle was no longer a distant hum.
Mad-Eye was annoyed by Mundungus, who had blubbered and freaked before going into the air. He was now shaking, the hold Mad-Eye's overweight waist getting tighter.
Before he had time to reprimand Mundungus, Mad-Eye heard laughter. Through the clouds, light flashed behind them. Shouts and yells boomed into the night. Voldemort's forces had found them. The Order's plan had been leaked.
Mad-Eye steered his broom to the left, nearly being hit by a stray spell. Mundungus squeezed his waist tighter. Mad-Eye then flew higher into the air, eventually all alone.
Mundungus suddenly squealed, "It's You-know-who!"
Mad-Eye glanced back. He was flying. But there was no means of transportation. The Dark Lord was flying like a ghost.
Mundungus cried out, bringing himself into a panic. "I've g-got to get out of here! He's gonna kill us!"
"NO! Mundungus, stop!" Mad-Eye demanded, and with an 'eep!' Mundungus disapparated. The weigh on the broom was greatly lifted and Mad-Eye cursed. He was now alone with You-know-who on his trail.
Mad-Eye glanced back again, and a stream of green light projected from his wand. It was the Killing Curse, Mad-Eye knew it. And it was coming straight for him. Mad-Eye was too skilled to die this way, especially at the hands of You-know-who. But he would take his demise with dignity and bravery.
Goodbye.
The light hit him square in the face, forcing his head back; the mighty grip on his broom slacking. He tumbled from his broom, falling into the clouds, spells silhouetting off the vapor. It was a long plummet down to the ground and when he reached it with a thud, he landed into a patch of soft grass. Mad-Eye looked quite peaceful as the grass gently blew in the small breeze, his electric blue eye still moving around.
My life has had its ups and downs and I have risen through the ranks. My downfall has been caused by a coward, but its okay. I have helped a great young wizard in the path of defeating an evil resurrection. And that is an honorable feeling.
