It Started With A Letter

12 - seventh year

I opened the door. The Order walked in. The Dursleys just left, so no one started screaming at the sight of the wizards and witches. Six of them were carrying a tiny bottle. After Madeye explained the plan to get me to the Weasley's, Hermione grabbed some of my hair and the six with bottles drank. Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Fleur and Mundungus transformed into me and we quickly made pairs. I would go with Hagrid, Hermione with Kingsley, Ron with Tonks, Fred with Mr Weasley, George with Remus, Fleur with Bill and Mundungus with Madeye.

We all kicked off, and as soon as we were out of sight of the village, Death Eaters attacked us. Even Voldemort came, from who I managed to break his wand. Hedwig died while trying to protect me from some curse another Death Eater shot. We all managed to make it to the Weasley's, where George arrived with one ear shot off by Snape, Fred told us Madeye died and Mundungus had Disapparated when he realised he was in danger.

It was Bill and Fleurs wedding, and there were a lot of people. I was disguised by Polyjuce of course. Death Eaters snuck in and started shooting spells at random. Me, Ron and Hermione left a letter with an explanation in the kitchen on a place only Mrs Weasley would look, and Disapparated. We were now on the run, and looking out for the remaining Horcruxes, as the one me and Dumbledore found was a fake. Dumbledore left us some things, though. I got my first catched Snitch, Ron a Duluminator and Hermione an edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Hermione had a bag with her. It was enchanted so you could put anything in it, and it would never be full.

I can't believe we got in and out of the Ministry. We managed to get Slytherins Locket, as that was a Horcrux. Ron got Splinched as we Disapparated again, and weeks later he was still recovering. He's been in a fool mood, snapping at me and Hermione and constantly listening to the radio. I was so done with hearing who died. 'Ron, could you stop listening to that radio?' 'No! Do you know why I listen to the radio?!' Hermione stepped in between us. 'Ron, please. Take the Horcrux off, it's making you say things you don't mean.' He slapped her hands away, then turned back to me.

'To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name! Or Fred, or George, or mum...' I was so done. 'Do you think I'm not listening too? Do you think I don't know how this feels?' 'No you don't know how this feels! Your parents are dead, you have no family!' He threw the Locket at Hermione, then dived out of the tent. Hermione ran after him, I heard a crack and Hermione came back in. 'He Disapparated.' She looked on the verge of crying and the radio started playing a song. I took her hands in mine and started dancing to cheer her up. It worked.

'Are you mental?!' Ron stood in front of me, holding the sword in one hand, the Locket in the other. 'Ron! Destroy the Locket, then we get back to Hermione.' He slashed the Locket with the sword and pulled me back to my feet. We started walking back to our tent.

'Hermione duck!' The curse missed her by inches. We went into Gringotts to get another Horcrux. We destroyed it, and now we were trying to get out. Few weeks earlier, we were brought to the Malfoy Manor were Draco lied for me, Dobby died and we saw Bill and Fleur. 'There, that dragon! Jump!' Ron and I followed Hermione on the back of the dragon, who flew us out and we jumped in the Black Lake near Hogwarts, since a Horcrux was hidden there.

'Run!' We saw the fire spreading as we ran. Ron saw some brooms and we flew up. 'We can't leave them!' Hermione flew forward, conjuring water whenever a flame got too close, Ron behind her, grabbing Goyle as he flew past the pile of objects from which Crabbe had fell off into the flames, and me behind him, reaching out to grab Draco. He fell, and I dived and grabbed his waist, pulling him behind me.
He was shaking. 'Shh, it's okay. I got you, you're safe.' I could feel him nod against my back and he leaned against me. We flew out the door, Hermione threw the Horcrux inside where it burned and the Slytherins ran away.
