A Whole New Beginning (Completed)

Chapter 16

Everyone remained silent as they watched the patronus fade away. Everyone then looked at Sirius, wondering what to do.

"Here's what we're going to do," he said. "We are all going to fight. We are going to find Hermione, and we are going to get out of here."

"They're children, Sirius!" Mrs. Weasley said. "They do not need to be involved in this fight!"

"We don't have a choice, Molly. They're here, and there's no way to get them back safely. They have Hermione, and I know for certain Harry isn't going to leave here without her and a fight."

Harry nodded at Sirius, while Mrs. Weasley shook her head.

"I don't agree with this! They're just children!"

"Molly," Mr. Weasley said, stepping in, "we don't have a choice. We're trapped here."

"Get down!" Sirius said, pulling Harry to the ground. Spells began to shoot at them from above. He then stood up and took Harry to cover behind the wall, peeking around it to see how many Death Eaters were there.

"Remember your training?" Sirius asked, watching as Harry nodded. "Good, because you're going to need it here."

He and Harry peaked around the corner again and fired spells at the Death Eaters. The spells were reflected, and Sirius scowled, removing himself from cover to fight them. Harry quickly followed suit and took on the second Death Eater, doing whatever he could to take him down. When Sirius finished with his, he helped Harry.

"You alright?" Sirius asked, watching as Harry rubbed at his shoulder. He nodded.

"What are they doing here, Sirius?"

"That's a question that I would like to know, too. I told you that Voldemort was planning something big. This must have been how he executed it."

"We can't find Fred and George or our parents!" Ginny said, as she and Ron ran up to them.

"What happened?" Harry asked quickly.

"We were fighting the Death Eaters, and they shot a smoke at us. Ron and I went to look for cover, and we got split up from them."

"Stay with us," Sirius said, returning all of them to cover while looking for an exit. He peaked his head around the corner and quickly drew it back.

"There's a lot of enemies out there. Let's go this way."

They turned to the right and started taking off towards the other platforms. Several cracks appeared around them and they were surrounded by four Death Eaters.

"Stupefy!" Harry cried at one of the Death Eaters. He quickly put up a shield and deflected the spell. Not having much cover, he continued to attempt to disarm him.

"Expelliarmus!"

The Death Eater once again blocked it. Harry narrowed his eyes, running possible strategies through his head as he did so.

"Giving up, Potter?" the Death Eater said, shooting another spell at him.

"You wish."
