Prompt: Resistance by Muse.
It's time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Hermione clung to her parents as they stared down at the body of Bellatrix Lestrange.
"We need to contact the order," Hermione whispered, rushing over to the body and searching the dead witch, finally withdrawing her own wand which was tucked between Bellatrix's breasts.
"Pack quickly," she ordered. "I'm taking you somewhere safe."
Ten minutes and Hermione had sent an owl and had shrunk the cases. They were by the front door when a knock came.
"Hermione? Are you alright?" Sirius asked, throwing his arms around her as she opened the door. She clung to him as Remus passed by into the house.
"What happened?" Remus asked, his gaze darting around, as though he was expecting something to happen.
"My dad shot her," Hermione said, pulling from Sirius' grip. "She's dead."
"Who?" Remus asked.
"Bellatrix," Hermione replied.
Sirius snorted. "Wait. Are you telling me that my dear cousin, one of the most powerful witches... was killed by a gun?" He looked slightly amused by the fact as he turned to Remus. "Cover it up," he said. "Send word to Narcissa and Andromeda."
Remus disappeared upstairs,coming down only a minute later. "I transfigured her," he explained. "I'll deal with her later. Now, let's get the Grangers to the Weasleys."
"Not Grimmauld?" Hermione asked.
Sirius grimaced. "Muggles can't enter that hell-hole," he muttered. "The Burrow isn't full of dark-magic that could hurt them. The most dangerous thing there is Molly's temper."
"Okay, let's go, Sirius," Hermione agreed.
"Sirius... you're the one that... that woman was shouting about," Richard Granger said, his eyes narrowing. "I think before we leave, me and you should have a discussion about my daughter."
Sirius' eyes moved to the gun that hadn't left Richard's hand since he had shot Bellatrix. "Of course," he replied nervously. Hermione and Remus shared amused looks with each other as the two men headed into the kitchen.
