Mass Collision

2. Battle of the Seven Potters

It was the night. The night that they were moving Harry. Natalia was the only one out of her friend group who was joining the rest of the Death Eaters.

She put on her cloak and her mask and met up with the rest of the group who all apparated in. They were waiting on the outskirts of Harry's neighborhood, waiting for when they broke the protection spell.

It felt wrong, Natalia had been here not too long ago, less than a year and now, here she was– about to attack the friend she had stayed with. She shook herself out of those thoughts. She had been having them for a while now and it felt dirty, wrong.

She was supposed to hate him, but she didn't. She did anything asked of her, but she could never hate any of them.

She grabbed a broom and waited. She liked riding on a broom, but she felt there were easier and better ways to get to places faster.

Her head snapped to the sky as everyone heard a roaring sound of a motorcycle. Natalia's eyes narrowed as she saw Hagrid and Harry getting away on the bike. She, along with everyone else, took to the sky, surrounding the large group of people. It took her a second to take it in, but then she saw, there were 7 different Harrys.

"Shit," she cursed. The Death Eaters created a circle around the groups and were keeping them all together. But then, her head snapped over to the one with Hagrid that was getting away and she raced after it.

The bike spun over, several things falling out of it, including a cage. It was Hedwig, she could recognize that bird anywhere. The Harry caught all of the stuff that fell, other than his firebolt. Natalia shot out her wand with a paralyzing spell that missed both Hagrid and Harry, but hit the bird.

Four other Death Eaters had broken away from the circle and were pursuing them, aiming for Hagrid's broad back. Hagrid swerved but they were keeping up with the bike, more curses shot after them, and Harry had to sink low into the sidecar to avoid them. Wriggling around he cried, "Stupefy!" and a red bolt of light shot from his own wand. Natalia moved away from the spell and the other four spread apart, creating a rift.

What she wasn't expecting was for a wall, a solid brick wall, erupted out of the exhaust pipe. It expanded in mid air and Natalia dove to avoid it, hearing one of the Death Eaters behind her hit it and out of the corner of her eye, she saw another go to save him. The last two, they just kept throwing killing curses at them, making Natalia frustrated. What if this was the real Harry?

The bike sped up and Natalia narrowed her eyes again, speeding up as well. She shot a few more stunners, trying to hit Hagrid rather than Harry, even though she knew it would take up to a couple dozen to actually subdue him.

With an unmistakable bellowing roar, dragon fire burst from the exhaust, white-hot and blue, and the motorbike shot forward like a bullet with a sound of wrenching metal. Natalia slowed down and swerved to miss the fire. It didn't feel like the first time she had to dodge dragon fire and she almost dissociated at the familiar feeling, but flew even faster, trying to keep up with the bike.

Another Death Eater met up with the group and Natalia saw Harry turn around, pointing his wand in the middle and shooting a curse. She swerved to the right as quick as possible and missed it just as the jinx hit the middle Death Eater in the chest; For a moment the man was absurdly spread-eagled in midair as though he had hit an invisible barrier. The one right behind Natalia had run into him and started falling.

The Death Eater to the left of Natalia got frustrated and shot a curse straight at Harry. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked, yelling above the wind. "Save him for the Dark Lord!"
