Everything seemed fuzzy, slow. Harry, (Y/n) and Hermione jumped to their feet and drew their wands. Many people were only just realizing that something strange had happened; heads were still turning toward the silver cat as it vanished. Silence spread outward in cold ripples from the place where the Patronus had landed. Then somebody screamed.

Harry (Y/n) and Hermione threw themselves into the panicking crowd. Guests were sprinting in all directions; many were Disapparating; the protective enchantments around the Burrow had broken.

"Ron!" Hermione cried. "Ron, where are you?"
As they pushed their way across the dance floor, (Y/n) saw cloaked and
masked figures appearing in the crowd; then he saw Lupin and Tonks, their wands raised, and heard both of them shout, "Protego!", a cry that was echoed on all sides –

"Ron! Ron!" Hermione called, half sobbing as she and Harry were buffered by terrified guests: Harry seized her hand to make sure they weren't separated as a streak of light whizzed over their heads, whether a protective charm or something more sinister he did not know –And then Ron was there.

(Y/n) pulled Ron towards them, making sure he grabbed onto Hermione's arm, and turning around jinxing an approaching death eater, before turning back around and finding to his horror that they had already disappeared.

"Just great!" He muttered to himself, stunning another death eater, pulling his sword out his arm, and slashing at a nearby death eater, catching their arm.

Spells flew over his head, and if the situation had been different the flashing greens and reds would have been very beautiful.

"Muriel look out!" (Y/n) cried pushing her out of the way of a death eater, slashing at them with the sword and then stunning them.

"How rude!" Muriel said hitting (Y/n) with her handbag. "How dare you! Do you not have any manners? Were you raised by wolves?"

"Oh will you shut up I'm trying to save your life!" (Y/n) told her stunning another death eater.

"Well you don't have to be so rude about it! Pushing a lady like myself!"

(Y/n) thrust the sword into a nearby death eater, who let out a yelp of pain before dissaparating.

"Who gave someone like you a sword anyway? They must not have had a brain."

"Yeah well last time I check I was the one protecting you!" (Y/n) told her through gritted teeth, stunning two more death eaters, and deflecting a spell.

"I can take care of myself young man I didn't get to be a hundred and seven on my good looks alone." Muriel said pulling out a knobbly, gnarled wand stunning two nearby death eaters with surprising accuracy.

"Wow nice shot" (Y/n) told her shooting fire at a nearby death eater, causing them to turn tail and run.

"You should judge a book it's cover young man" Muriel said, send a couple of jinxes into the crowd.

"Ironic that" (Y/n) muttered, magically setting his sword on fire and branding it at the oncoming death eaters. "Are you okay to get back?"

"Get back? Of course I'm fine to get back" Muriel cried at him, magically throwing a death eater into a crowd. "Why wouldn't I be fine?"

"Well it's just that your still here, I'd have thought you would have apparated away by now." (Y/n) shouted to her.

"And miss this? This is the most excitement I've had in years. Although I suppose you are right, I ought to get back. Watch yourself boy!" She said, casting a full body bind curse on a death eater who had just grabbed into (Y/n)'s collar.
