Standing Alone

Part 22

"Need help?" I ask Molly

"You're so sweet dear, I'm just finishing up." Molly says with sad smile

It breaks my heart to see Molly so worn down. She was always so full of life and had the best smile. With Voldemort back she's become so tired and worried. We all have.

I wrap Molly in a hug. She hugs back tightly. For a moment the world was okay. For a moment I was okay. We pull back and I smile lightly.

"I really needed that." Molly admits

"I did too." I confess

"Holly, I should get going home." Remus walks in with Tonks

"It was really good seeing you" I say and hug him

"Stay safe Holly, I can't lose any more family." he whispers

"You too, Remus." I reply

We all walk Remus to the front door.

Suddenly Remus stares out in the distance concentrating. Like he senses something there.

"What's out there?" I ask Remus trying to see what's he's seeing.

I can feel the wind pick up and it sends a shiver down my spine. Death Eaters. They found us.

Suddenly a ball of fire come crashing onto the ground creating a ring of fire surrounding the house. Harry flies down the stairs with Ginny.

Bellatrix apparats into the yard. We all get our wands ready. Suddenly Harry takes after her.

"Harry NO!" Arthur, Remus and I all shout together.

Remus takes off after Harry but is blocked by the fire and can't. Tonks is by his side quickly trying to put out the massive flames.

Ginny goes running after Harry.

"Ginny!" Molly shouts terrified

"I got her!" I shout and take off after her

"Holly No!" Arthur shouts

I follow Ginny and leap over the flames

"I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!" we hear Bellatrix sing

"Come and get me! Come and get me!" She laughs

I try and navigate through the tall grass. I swiftly weed through and catch up with Ginny.

We stop for a moment and survey our surroundings. Someone was nearby.

"Harry?" Ginny calls

"Shh!" I tell her it wasn't Harry

We watch a tall, horrifying wolf looking man walk closer to us. Ginny gasps in fear and backs away.

I stand in front of her.

"Stupefy!" I cast at the wolf looking man but he swiftly blocks it

Harry runs up behind us.

The man disappears into the air. The three of keep a close eye from all angles trying to find where we went.

We start sending shields out to block any in coming attacks.

Remus, Arthur and Tonks join us in the middle to help.

The Death Eaters shoot up into the air and away. We see them sent the house on fire.

The sight was horrifying.

"Molly!" Arthur cries and we sprint to the burning house.

We arrive to see the family safe outside, watching their beloved house burn.
