Stuck with Me [Harry Potter]

Chapter 15 - A Heated Kiss Amid the War

Luna had to dodge another falling piece of stone. She landed on her belly, which knocked the wind out of her. She looked up to the dark sky, illuminated by fire and every color of spell one could think of.

"Beautiful," she muttered, but had to dodge more rock toppling from the courtyard arches.

She got up and began running from a Death Eater and shot a powerful spell that sent him backwards into a pillar. She had just gotten back from fighting a pack of dementors with Harry, Shamus Finnegan and Ernie Macmillin, so her wand was fresh with strong spell power.

"Luna, look out!"

Luna turned and saw Ginny Weasley scream at her, and she saw what Ginny was talking about. A massive troll held up his club and slammed it on the ground right where Luna was before she quickly moved out of the way.

"Get up!" Ginny hollered and grabbed Luna's hand, but they instantly had to fall to the earth again to dodge Bellatrix Lestrange's curse.

"C'mon girls, can't take a little cat fight?" Bellatrix sneered at them, cackling.

"We can so!" Ginny shouted, and let a spell fly out of her wand, but Bellatrix jumped out of the way as the spell hit the stone behind her, making it crumble to the ground. Bellatrix laughed.

"Missed, sweetheart!"

Luna was about to cast a spell at Bellatrix, but she noticed movement in a far corridor. A tall form with two other forms cantering forward and away from the courtyard. The tall form had blonde hair. "Draco..." she muttered and took a step towards the person she thought was Draco.

"Luna!" she heard Ginny scream, and Luna flew to the ground just in time to doge another curse. She stood up and pointed her wand at the wild woman and shouted a spell that repelled the woman back to the ground.

"Nice one, Luna!" Ginny shouted, but Bellatrix came up again and cast a curse at the two girls, but they dodged it, and it ended up hitting a random Death Eater behind them. Ginny, Luna and Bellatrix were soon sending spells and curses back and forth to one another until Bellatrix raised her wand and hollered,

"Avada kedavra!"

Green light shot out of her wand right at Ginny, but was deflected when Mrs. Weasley stepped in and shouted, "How dare you almost kill my daughter!"

Ginny and Luna backed away and fell over a rock onto their backs but sat up and watched in amazement and fear as Mrs. Weasley fought the wild woman. Lights flew everywhere, and all were deflected.

But then Mrs. Weasley screamed a curse which made Bellatrix fly backwards into a stone pillar and fall to the ground. Lifeless.

Ginny and Luna scrambled up and began running down a corridor, screams, shrieks, booms and crashes being heard all around them. They noticed a Death Eater chasing them, and Ginny sent a curse back to him which propelled him back into a wall, knocking him out. They stopped around a corner and took a breath.

"You alright?" Ginny wheezed.

"Yes, you?" Luna said, also wheezing. She moved her wild kinky blonde hair out of her face.

"Alright."

"I was very impressed by your spell-work, Ginny," Luna said almost lightly.

Ginny let out strained laughter. "Thanks. Harry's class really helped."

"Yes, it did."

Ginny took more deep breaths, her orange hair also frazzled, "Why were you just standing there as that crazy woman almost hit you with a curse?"
