hexed

chapter 18

the flames lick at his leg. he yells in pain and without a second thought I blast water on his leg. it's damaged and burnt but I can't fix that right now. I lift Hugo, as light as a feather, and urge Felix towards the back door. we dodge the flames, my heart pounding in my chest.

we dive outside and relief floods into my body. I take the boys to the edge of the field and hide them in the grass

"stay here! Felix keep putting water on Hugos leg, he'll be ok." I hug Hugo and whisper "it's ok. you'll be fine" he nods weakly.

I hear spells being fired on the other side of the house, flashes of light lighting up the night sky.

that when I remember scorpius.

he was out practicing, where is he?!

I run to the other end of the house and see mum fighting on death eater in the sky. dads on a broom fighting the same one. grandma's battling with a death eater on the ground and grandpa's deeper in the meadow dueling an unseen force. uncle George and Angelina are back to back waiting for their attacker to reappear.

my heart pounds so loud I swear the whole world can hear, my forehead is covered in sweat.

then a cloaked figure appears and the whole word pauses. George crumples to the ground, shaking with tears. then suddenly he rises, determination in his eyes. with pure hatred George fires a jet of green at the death eater, hitting him square in the chest. the dark lords follower falls to the ground, never to breathe again.
