➵ THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL — ABBA
'So the winner takes it all and the loser has to fall.'

"Now!" Harry bellows.

"Stupefy!" choruses the group of teenagers, sending half the death-eaters flying. Lucius blocks the spell but they don't care about that. They just run.

They run like they never have before.

They stop abruptly as a puff of black smoke appears before them. Lucius stands with his hand out but they run the opposite way. So much is going on that Cassie has lost track of who was where.

All she knows is that Harry, Hermione and Ron are in front of her. Enzo is right behind her, not taking his eyes off her for a split second.

They have to split up as the corridors are too small and the death-eaters are on their tails. Cassie sprints down a corridor and all she can see were the prophecies on each side of her. She comes out of the corridor at the same time as Enzo, Harry, Ron and Hermione. They look at each other, not knowing what to do.

Cassie's jaw tenses as death-eaters appear at either side of them. "Stupefy!" Enzo exclaims, sending one of them backwards. Once it's clear, they run for it. They send spells behind them, firing at the death eater following them.

"Stupefy!" Cassie bellows, adrenaline coursing her body. Adrenaline is literally the only reason she's running so fast right now.

As they run, Hermione begins pushing all of the prophecies off the shelves. Each one hits the ground and shatters with a loud crash. A death eater catches up and flies right next to Harry, his face dangerously close.

Cassie sees and decided to do him a favour. "Stupefy!" she shouts, getting rid of the man. She finds Enzo and grabs his hand, running towards the others. They crash together, so very afraid of losing each other.

They stand in a circle as a Deatheater flies towards them. "Protego!" shouts Ginny, creating a large, bright blue explosion. At first, they were relieved by her action.

That was before the prophecies began falling.

They take slow steps backwards, watching them collapse in front of them. "Shit." Cassie whispers.

"Get back to the door!" Harry shouts. Enzo grabs Cassie's hand faster than he ever has and they run. They run as fast as their legs can possibly take them. This is a life or death situation and Cassie isn't about to give up any time soon. The more the glass falls, the more the floor shakes— therefore, the faster they sprint.

A tsunami of relief washes over Cassie as she spots the door. Harry pushes it open and they all run for it.

What they don't expect, however, is the door to open to a massive pit. They fall about eighty feet at a rapid speed. It reminds Cassie of when she fell off her broom during quidditch once in second year, only this was much more intense.

Cassie braces herself as she approaches the floor, closing her eyes. Hermione and Ginny scream but no noise comes out of Cassie's mouth.

I'm coming, Cedric Cassie thinks as she's mere inches from the ground. However, there is some sort of enchantment on the floor that catches them before they can hit the floor.

It only catches them for a second or two before dropping them to the floor. Cassie groans as her body hits the floor, not half as heavily as it would've if the enchantment wasn't there.

Harry still has ahold of the prophecy. How on earth, Cassie has no idea. Everybody groans as they stood up, trying to figure out where the door has taken them. "You okay?" Enzo asks, brushing the dirt off Cassie's torso.
