Harry was still processing what was going on when he felt a hand pull him roughly to the ground. A bright green light illuminated the snowy ground and a snarling sound came from above. Harry instinctively rolled over and pulled out his wand. He aimlessly shot a Stunning spell and he heard Hermione scream in protest; it had nearly hit her.
'Harry! Look out!'
Harry wheeled about but the Hevera was already upon him, fangs bared. Together they toppled to the ground and Harry's wand left his hand. The Hevera was on top of him and the cold fingers locked around his neck, pressing mercilessly against his flesh. He looked into those scarlet eyes and knew that the Hevera was going to kill him there and then; there was no way he could fight of those long, capable fingers. But when he heard Seamus's voice say, 'Dristaris Foreti!' and Hermione screech, 'No! Ron!', he summoned all his strength and reached for his wand; he shot a stunner at the Hevera and it was thrown backwards into a bush. Heaving for air, Harry looked around and saw Hermione locked in a duel with Seamus. Ron lay on the ground and Harry was relieved to see him stirring feebly.
'It's okay! I have him!' Hermione bellowed when Harry moved closer to curse Seamus. 'Tend to Ron!
Harry bent down over Ron and shouted his name several times. Ron opened his eyelids and muttered, 'Remove it.'
Harry looked at Ron's shoulder and saw a dagger inserted not very deep in it. Harry pulled at it and a dark green smoke billowed from the wound.
'What is it?' Ron asked weakly.
'Dunno.'
'Where's Mynee?'
'She's duelling Seamus.'
Harry felt something hit the ground and when he looked up he expected to see Hermione standing over Seamus. But it was the other way round.
Seamus pointed his wand at Harry and they immediately began to duel. Harry
could not understand what was going on. Seamus! Their fellow Gryffindor attacking them!
'Seamus, why are you doing this?' Harry roared but Seamus, with a look of hatred on his face, did not reply. He only kept firing dangerous spells at Harry and it was all Harry could do to deflect them.
After a few minutes of heated battle, Seamus yelled, ' Dristaris Foreti!' and Harry knew that he was defeated. With the force of a punch, a dagger was plunged into his shoulder and he fell back, landing hard onto the ground. A searing pain emanated from his shoulder to the rest of his body and he began to feel dizzy again.
Harry heard Seamus make a triumphant sound, walk over to a tall oak and mutter something under his breath. Within seconds, swooshing sounds were in the air and, with a terrific jolt of his heart, Harry saw strange beings landing from flight. It was dark and the dark green gas was steadily spreading to the rest of his body, clouding his brain, so that he could not exactly tell what they were.
Seamus walked to the bush where the Hevera lay stunned and said the counter curse. It woke up and joined the creatures that were now gathering around Seamus as he spoke.
'We have captured Potter and now we take him to...'
Harry blacked out before Seamus could finish his sentence.
