⛔Violence⛔

Mattheo's pov:

I couldn't hide my feelings anymore. I had to tell her.

"I like you, Yn.
Alot.
Since the moment I first saw you at the Welcoming Ceremony.
I understand if you don't feel the same but-"

"I like you too"

I stared at her in shock.
"Y-you do?"
"Yes"

I just stood there for a minute, processing what just happened, staring at her with wide eyes. She seemed shocked at what she had just confessed too.

Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts as something caught my eye. Yn had also noticed it as she too turned around to see what it was.

Something large and silver came falling through the canopy over the dance floor. Graceful and gleaming, the lynx landed lightly in the middle of the astonished dancers. Heads turned, as those nearest froze, absurdly, in mid-dance. Then the Patronus's mouth opened wide and it spoke in the loud, deep voice of Kingsley Shacklebolt.

"The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming."

I heard Yn gasp and turned towards her. She was staring at the cat wide-eyed, her body stiff.

I grabbed her hand and she looked up, meeting my eyes. I gave her hand a comforting squeeze, as we both drew out our wands.

Yn's pov:

I gave him a small smile and nod, and with that we turned our attention back to the scene. My heart was racing in shock, and fear, but I was ready. I rushed away, pulling Mattheo with me.

He seemed a little shocked as I was usually very scared for these kind of things, but I saw him smile proudly at me from the corner of my eye.

Many people were only just realising that something strange had happened; heads were still turning towards the silver cat as it vanished. Silence spread outwards in cold ripples from the place were the Patronus had landed. Then somebody screamed.

Mattheo and I threw ourselves into the panicking crowd. Guests were sprinting in all directions; many wrre Disapparating; the protective enchantments over the Burrow had broken.

"Pansy, Enzo, Blaise, Mia!' I cried "Where are you?"

"Tom! Tom!" Mattheo shouted, searching for his brother.

As we pushed our way across the dance floor, I saw cloaked and masked figures appearing in the crowd; then I saw Lupin and Tonks, their wands raised, and heard both of them shout "protego!", a cry that was echoed on all sides-

"Pansy!" I yelled in delight as she saw a brunette girl emerge from the crowd.

"Where's Mia?" I asked.
"She disapparated home with her parents" Pansy answered.
I sighed in relief.

"Mattheo!" I heard a voice shout, and we turned to see my Enzo followed by the rest of the Slytherins.

We rushed towards eachother.
"The others apparated away to safety" Theodore informed.

"My brother too?" Mattheo asked
"Yes, he's part of team 2" said Draco

A streak of light whizzed over our heads, whether a protective charm or something more sinister I didn't know.

Mattheo's pov:

We grabbed onto eachothers arms and I grabbed onto Yn's hand, turning on the spot; sight and sound were extinguished as darkness pressed in upon us; all I could feel was Yn's delicate hand as I was squeezed through space and time, away from The Burrow, away from the descending Death Eaters, away, perhaps, from Voldermort himself...
