Chapter 13

Still

Both spun on there spot disappearing into the darkness again.

They appeared in front of the Burrow. They could see flashes of different color light coming for inside the house. Their ears were filled with screams. Harry never ran so fast in his life. Both, him and Ron busted through the front door.

Harry's eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing. Mr. Weasley was standing on the stairs sending spells at Goyle, who was dressed in his black death eater robes. Mrs. Weasley fell to the ground, Nott had hit her with a stunning spell.

"Molly!" Mr. Weasley scream running from his spot on the staircase.

But Goyle throw Mr. Weasley to the ground and he went limp.

Harry couldn't understand what was happening. His mind was blank. Everything was falling apart around him. He couldn't think of what to do. Then, his thoughts were awakened when his eyes fell on a form lying in front of the couch. Ginny was on the floor shaking and screaming with pain. Lestrange was laughing hysterically pointing his wand at Ginny.

Before, Harry knew it he was running, he ran straight into Lestrange. With all Harry's strengthen he pushed Lestrange into the opposite wall. Lestrange's fell to the ground. When he let him go he fell limp on the floor. He stepped on the wand which cracked beneath him. Then his mind turned to Ginny. Harry ran a picked her up from the ground and cradled her in his arms.

"Ginny! Answer me!" Harry screamed.

Ginny groaned. She was still shaking. Her beautiful wedding dress was blood stained. Aunt Muriel's tiara was missing from her beautiful long red hair.

Harry didn't realize what was happening until this moment. Lestrange was still on the ground. Nott laid on the floor near the staircase, his body seemed lifeless.

"Expelliarmus" Ron yelled at Goyle.

Goyle's wand went spinning in the air. Ron tackled him to the ground. He was by Mrs. Weasley's side in seconds. Harry moved towards her, still holding Ginny in his arms.

"Mum!" Ron said as he laid Mrs. Weasley in his lap.

Her eyes opened slowly. Tears dripped on her from Ron's blue eyes.

"Hermione" Mrs. Weasley whispered.

Then, Mr. Weasley let out a groan. Harry spun around. Mr. Weasley was getting up slowly. He came to Ron's side.

Ron was speechless. Mr. Weasley pulled Mrs. Weasley to his lap.

"Where was Hermione?" Ron said finding his voice, which was filled with strong sobs.

"I don't know. She was up stairs when they came. Crabbe went upstairs. I tried to follow him but, then Nott attacked me." Mr. Weasley said very weakly.

But, before he finished Ron had run up the stairs. Harry couldn't understand what was happening. Ginny was shaking in his arms. This was his wedding day, this shouldn't happen. Where is Hermione? Everything was happening faster then he saw it. His mind was slow and sluggish. Everything was in slow-motion. All this had happen in less then minute, but it felt like hours.

Kingsley busted through the doors with the rest of the aurors. All there faces reflected the damage. Kingsley gaped for words but, he couldn't find words. That was the first time Kingsley, Minister of Magic, was speechless. The other aurors were moving towards the death eaters.

As he thought, he laid Ginny on the couch, carefully. Then, he ran up the stairs. A green flash came from a room he recognized as Percy's. There was another green flash and someone screamed "Avada Kedavra". Harry held his breath, praying for another flash. He couldn't move, what was wrong with him. Then, there his legs unlocked as a red flash came from the room. Harry ran in, there in the corner Crabbe laid motionless. Ron was in the opposite corner. Hermione's still body was between them. Ron ran to her body. He picked her up a held her in his arms. He cried into her shoulder.

"Hermione! Wake up! Open your eyes! 'Mione!" Ron was sobbing harder then ever into her shoulder.

Hermione wasn't stirring.

"She isn't moving, I can't feel her breathing. I can't feel her heart beat." Ron sobbed to Harry.

Ron's blue eyes were shining with tears. His red cheeks were soaked. Harry's legs were locked again.
