"I think it's a trap." Ron said as Harry, Alex and Luna walked towards the doorway which almost looked like it had a transparent, foggy, curtain inside it.
"You don't say." Alex yelled over her shoulder sarcastically.
"The voices. What are they saying?" Harry said walking closer to the veil.
The other four shared a look. "There aren't any voices Harry." Hermione said.
"I hear them too Harry." Alex said. The seven teenagers walked over into the middle of the room. Black clouds started swooping by their heads. Hands pulled at them all and Alex gripped onto the prophecy really tight.
As the cloud vanished Harry looked around to see all his friends getting held by Death Eaters. He turned around in a slow circle to see Neville, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Luna, but he couldn't see Alex.
"Harry! Catch!" Harry spun round just in time to see Alex throw the prophecy at him before Lucius Malfoy grabbed her around the shoulders pressing his wand to her head. Harry, by using his quidditch seeker skills, caught the prophecy in one hand.
Lucius walked towards Harry keeping his wand pressed against Alex's head. "Give me the prophecy and none of your friends get hurt." Alex rolled her eyes.
"Let's go to Hogwarts, he said, it's safer there than it is here. You won't get in any bad trouble or life threatening situations. Last time I listen to my dad." Alex muttered trying to struggle against Malfoy.
"Shut Up you." Alex huffed and rolled her eyes.
There was a tap on Lucius's shoulder and keeping a hold and Alex, he spun around.
Alex grinned when she saw Sirius there. "Get the hell away from my god-son and his girlfriend." He punched Lucius in the mouth and Lucius fell over releasing Alex who stumbled backwards into someone's arms. She turned around to see her god-father Remus Lupin. She quickly hugged him while there were white clouds appearing and fighting away the Death Eaters. The two of them dodged a spell and ended up in the same cover spot as Sirius and Harry.
"You two have done enough, get your friends and get out if here." Alex and Harry shook their heads. "We're helping. "Alex stood up at the same time as the other three and she instantly found her and Harry both duelling a Death Eater together. Sirius was duelling Lucius on their right and Remus was duelling a masked Death Eater to their right.
Harry disarmed the Death Eater they were battling and Sirius yelled out to him just after making Lucius fly into a wall. "Nice one James!" Harry froze for a moment shocked by being called his father's name.
Two things happened at once.
The Death Eater battling Remus bloated him into a wall and as Alex turned to watch, she saw that he wasn't moving after the wall collision. She spun back around to see the Death Eaters mask fall off only to reveal her brother Justin.
At the same time, Bellatrix Lestrange jumped out from the shadows and seeing Sirius she grinned evilly.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Sirius's smile stayed for a moment, he looked like he was still laughing. The green light hit him full on in the chest and Harry who was smiling, felt his smile fade. Sirius looked as if for a second he knew what had happened before he stumbled backwards into the veil.
Alex turned around to see Sirius fall into the veil. When his body disappeared Alex instantly knew that if you touched the mist, you would die and then vanish. Harry was about to run forward but Alex grabbed onto his arms preventing him from running.
Harry struggled against Alex's grip and was screaming for Sirius, he was hoping, praying that Sirius would reappear, his smile bright on his face. Harry knew however this wouldn't happen. Alex quickly turned her head around to find Justin to finish off Remus duel; however Justin was running towards the Main Hall. Alex took off after him at the same time as Harry took after Bellatrix, the Order was yelling for them to come back but they were too busy clenching their wands in their hands chasing after Justin and Bellatrix. Justin was too quick however and managed to disappearate from the fireplaces at the side. Bellatrix wasn't so lucky, she had tripped and fell and Harry was running towards her with his wand raised. Alex walked over to Bellatrix. She held her wand out in front of her facing Bellatrix, Harry stopped and stood back a little bit facing the two females. Bellatrix grinned at Alex,
"You need to mean it Russo. Then say the words Crucio." Alex twisted her neck. She could hear Voldemort in her ears almost as if he was standing behind her. She stopped for a second and regained control of her anger. This wasn't her. She spun around to see Voldemort and she threw her wand at him.
He waved it out if his way. Alex felt Harry stand next to her, his arm rubbing against hers as he pulled her behind him, facing Voldemort.
Bellatrix grinned and apperated away and out of the ministry of magic.
Alex was in such a shock of seeing Justin fighting against her and the Order she didn't even notice Dumbledore had arrived.
"It was foolish of you to come here tonight Tom. The aurors are on their way." Dumbledore started walking towards Voldemort.
"By which tie I shall be gone, and you shall be dead." He said walking backwards (while waving his hand), smiling evilly.
Dumbledore and Voldemort quickly cast spells. Using his free hand, Dumbledore performed wand less magic and sent Alex and Harry skidding across the floor into the safety of a fireplace.
Dumbledore and Voldemort's spells connected the collision lighting up the whole atorium. They battled with the two spells, and bricks and other parts of the hall that the spells were hitting were flying everywhere as Harry and Alex sheltered their heads.
Voldemort lifted his hand to his face and breathed out a huge fireball sending it towards Dumbledore.
"Great." Alex muttered. "He's a nose-less dragon as well as a murderer."
The fire-ball hastily formed into a giant snake and lunged towards Dumbledore who retreated a few steps until waving his wand sending the fire back at Voldemort who just mad it disappear.
Dumbledore aimed his wand towards the fountain and made a huge ball of water form around Voldemort, lifting him of the ground. Harry and Alex stood back up to help but Dumbledore just simply shot them back onto the floor.
Voldemort escaped the ball of water and screamed before sending a lot of dark magic at Dumbledore. He pulled his hands to his chest and threw them in the air causing the glass from the offices to shatter everywhere. The glass shot towards them and Dumbledore made a shield appear, turning the glass into sand.
