Chapter 2: The Attack
And so the conversations continued while unbeknownst to them a barrier was being set around the little area of the park and four adult hooded figures and one tiny child figure appeared just meters behind the happy children. No one saw the danger, not even the greatest witch and wizard of the age, until it was to late….
"Expelliamus," one of the figures cried as the three children were shot out of the swings. Dudley and Hermione landed hard on the ground with the breathe knocked out of them, while Correna landed farther away with a sickening crunch to her arm and a cry of, "DADDY!" Immediately propelled by his daughter cry, Albus pulled his out his wand and knocked down the figure headed for her. After that all hell broke loose, as spells and hexes and curses went flying around the area. Too busy to help each other, Albus and Minerva both silently prayed that their child and the muggles would find a safe place to hide.
Meanwhile, in the midst of the fighting five children where thrown into the hollow of a tree and hurriedly covered with bush. "Move woman," a man commanded. "Never," two women cried and with not so much as a thought they were both killed. "Bastard," a man screamed and jumped the masked man. One woman's broken body lay forgotten; shielding the hollow the children were hiding in. The other lay behind a bush.
"Stupefy!" "Crucio!" "Expelliamus!" "Rectimsempra!" "Protego!" and so the battle wore on. Minerva and Albus both admirably holding their own against the four death eaters. "Minerva find Corri and leave," Albus cried as he fought off the death eater. "No I won't leave you," she cried while fighting off two others. "How sweet," a woman's voice spat as she apparated behind Minerva and grabbed her before she could react. "Is Dumbledore's whore willing to die for him?" The woman hissed as she took off her hood and pointed her wand at the deputy's throat. "Bellatrix," Minerva hissed. "Yes, it's me Professor. How have you been," she sneered? "Better than your going to be," she hissed and spun out of the hold. Before Bellatrix could properly react, Minerva cried, "Expelliamus," and the witch's wand was knocked out of her hand. "Crucio," the other woman cried and Minerva fell to the ground screaming.
"Minerva," Albus cried blasting the death eater into a tree and running toward his wife. "Don't move," Bellatrix replied holding her regained wand at Dumbledore, "Take one more step and my sister kills her." "P-please don't," he said staring into his wife's eyes. "Give me your wand," she commanded holding out her hand. "I'll do anything; just lift the curse," he pleaded handing over the wand. The other women obliged and just as she did Minerva summoned her wand and gasped, "Avada Kedava!" The hooded figure flew back landing hard on the grounded and moved no more. "You…" Bellatrix exclaimed brandishing a knife and lunging at Minerva. Albus also lunged and both fell to the ground rolling and fighting. The two tussled for several minutes till the witch let out a painful scream and ceased fighting.
"Oh Albus," Minerva cried as he helped her up. The two held each other for several seconds before they both looked at each other and exclaimed, "Correna!" The headmaster and deputy frantically searched the park before they found the crudely made shelter that had kept all five children safe. "Mummy," the young raven-haired girl cried as she flung herself into her mother's arms, "Oh mummy it was so horrible. The mean man tried to get us b-but Mrs. Durleys and Mrs. Ganher protected us. Then we saw a green light and…and…my arm hurts," she cried. Albus gently took his daughter out of her mother's arms and checked the child's arm. Upon finding it broken he said a quick healing charm. "That should hold her till we can get her to Poppy," he said sitting the child back down. "Corri we want you to stay here with the others alright," Minerva said hugging her daughter, "Daddy and I will be back in a few minutes. The child nodded and the couple quickly made there way over to where one of the death eaters had landed.
"Albus, why would the Malfoys and Lestranges do something like this?" Minerva asked after they discovered that it was Luscious and Narcissa Malfoy, and Bellatrix and Robert Lestrange that had attacked them. "I don't know," he sighed as they also discovered that the Grangers and Dursleys were also dead, "It could have been to get to us or it could have been to get to Harry. We're the only ones that survived so we may never really know." "But what will we do with the children? We can't let the Ministry know about Corri and surely they'll be here soon," she replied biting her lip. "I know, but I don't know what to do," he sighed. "Wh-what if we took them," she said. "What," he asked raising an eyebrow? "Why not take them with us. Tell the Ministry they're all dead. We can finally raise Harry," she expectantly explained. The man thought for a few minutes. "There are so many ways this could go wrong, but if you really want to…" he sighed and pulled a small book from his jacket pocket, "I'll cover for you." He then waved his wand over the book causing to glow a bright blue. "Take this port-key to your sister's. I'll send poppy over and I'll come when I can," he said as he transfigured four rocks into four small bodies. "Oh thank you Albus," she exclaimed embracing her husband and passionately kissing him. The kiss lasted almost five minutes before the need to breathe over came them. "I love you," she breathlessly replied. "And I you Mina, but you must leave now," he said and pushed the book in her slender hand. Minerva took the book and ran back to the children. She quickly explained what they were doing and all were soon whisked away to the home of her sister, Arabella Figg.
