A/N. Now this chapter...just to warn you, is a little short but I should, hopefully, be updating daily...hopefully... I really will try.

Ron lifted Harry so that Harry's arm was resting across his shoulder. Holding on to him with his left hand, he still had the use of his wand arm if he needed it.

Snape and Remus left the cell first looking around quickly, they signalled for the others to follow.

Next came Hermione closely followed by Ron and Harry, who appeared to be coming round. After that was James and Lily both walking side by side wands at the ready. Sirius and Tonks were next out, Sirius was taking his job very seriously…not really wanting to feel the anger that this future Remus could issue. Then lastly came Moony looking behind himself and continuing to walk backwards with his wand out.

Remus was becoming increasingly more aware of how easily he had infiltrated the house and was more than sure the exit would not be so simple. They had barely gone two steps down the corridor.

"Erm…" Moony said.

Remus froze…he knew it. Slowly the group turned to face Moony, he appeared to be listening rather than looking at something. They strained their ears and sure enough they could hear footsteps approaching quickly from behind them.

Before any of them could utter another word four Death Eaters flew round the corner, wands drawn. They skidded to halt at the sight of the group. Remus sucked in a deep breath. A red light sizzled from one of the Death Eater's wand, Moony hastily raised his wand,

"Protego!" he shouted. The spell clashed against the shield surrounding Moony and rebounded.

The Death Eaters shrieked and leapt to the side as the spell connected with the wall leaving a large crater in it's wake.

The group backed down the hall slowly. Moony was breathing hard now, and Remus was beginning to think that Lily, James, Sirius, Harry and his past self probably wouldn't be able to use a lot of magic in their weakened state. The Death Eaters advanced.

They would have to fight to get out here. Remus raised his wand higher as those around him rose theirs simultaneously. He took a deep breath and the battle commenced.

Remus knew he was needed at the back, his past self couldn't keep the Death Eaters back for long, his shield spell was already fading. Then again he would still be outnumbered...he needed somebody else. He glanced quickly around the group and his eyes fell on his beloved...his Nymphadora. He shook his head quickly, absolutely no way.

Remus grabbed Snape's sleeve roughly and headed forwards in the direction of the Death Eaters. He glanced at Moony as he reached him and frowned, he was looking extremely pale in his opinion. Snape came up on the other side of Moony.

The Death Eaters facing them leered nastily at each person in turn. Remus did not have the patience for all the intimidating rubbish.

"Stupefy," he yelled pointing his wand forcefully in front of him. The Death Eaters had little time to react as the first of them went down.

"Tarantellegra," hissed Snape pointing his wand at the Death Eater closest to him. The victim froze as the spell hit him, and fell backwards as his legs started a crazy little waltz, as an afterthought Snape summoned the fallen Death Eater's wand and stowed it in his robes.

Harry opened his eyes blearily. His head was spinning and he vaguely remembered seeing Remus, but that had to be dream.

Slowly the ringing in his ears cleared properly and he became very aware of shouts and bright lights all around him. Curses? Were those curses and hexes he could hear?

"Stupefy!" he heard from behind him.

Suddenly any and all support Harry had completely disappeared. He fell to the floor roughly and glared around him. His eyes fell on the body next to him.

"Ron?" he murmured moving to his fallen friend. So it wasn't a dream. He stood up somewhat shakily and looked around at the ensuing battle.

Remus, Moony and Snape were towards the back facing two Death Eaters. After them was Sirius and Tonks...Sirius appeared to have conjured a shield around himself and Tonks much to her displeasure. Harry could see her trying to get Sirius to release it.

Right in front of him was his Mum and Dad, who had done a similar trick to Sirius however their shield was a combined effort. Then next to him, after Ron was Hermione...who although she was quite pale and alarmed was holding her wand very firmly indeed.

Harry grimaced and picked up Ron's fallen wand...his eyes swept the enemies in front of him...Who was it?

There was a Death Eater directly in front of him...it had to have been him who took Ron down...the other one was locked in a vicious hex throwing match with Remus.

The Death Eater in question spotted him and grinned widely. Harry felt his blood boiling. The Death Eater quickly threw a sly stinging hex at Snape, who he had been duelling, and pointed his wand at Harry. Harry growled under his breath,

"Reducto!" he roared...the red light shot towards the now startled Death Eater and threw him forcefully backwards against the wall, unconscious.

Harry hadn't even seen the spell connect with his chosen victim and was now knelt next to his friend, checking he was ok.

"Enervate," he muttered pointing his wand at Ron's chest. Ron stirred and opened his eyes quickly, staring around wildly.

Harry grinned at him and pulled him up, Ron staggered to the side slightly and grasped Harry for support. Hermione frowned at both of them, that meant that Ron wasn't up to fighting for a bit either.

Remus had now started to feel that they were winning...three out four Death Eaters were down and he was sure he could end his fight quickly. This feeling of triumph was quickly extinguished when he heard Harry's voice.

Harry's? He hadn't even realised he was awake. He chanced a quick look around and to his horror saw that Harry had cast a shield around himself, Ron and Hermione...to fend off the...he gulped...

*ducks as curses fly her way*

It's an illness I'm sure...cliffhanger making is an illness...I need help I know.
