 “We’re almost there!”  Ron was jumping up and down.  “I’m starving!”

         “We are all starving Ron.  We will be there in about fifteen minutes.  Are you okay Harry?  You haven’t talked in a while.”

         “I’m fine.  Really you guys.  I am fine.  I am just hungry.”  Harry said.

         “Tell me about it.” 

         Hermione stopped very suddenly.  Harry didn’t see her stop so he bumped into her.  “Sorry Hermione.”

         “Shh.  Did you hear that?”  Hermione swiveled her head from left to right.

         “Hear what?”  Ron whispered.

         “Nothing.  Never mind.  Let’s just hurry and get back to the Burrow.  It’s getting dark.” 

         Harry, Hermione, and Ron started walking swiftly through the woods.  After about ten minutes Ron lost it.  “Are we there yet?”

         “What do you think?”  Hermione questioned.  “You are so,”

         “Duck!”  Harry pulled out his wand and turned to his left towards the woods.  “Stupefy!”

         Dolohov fell to the floor in front of Hermione.

         “Run!”  Harry, Hermione, and Ron turned and ran towards the Burrow.  Harry looked behind him and saw all the Death Eaters chasing after them, Snape in the lead.  He pointed his wand at Ron.  “Ron, behind you!”  Harry dove towards Ron and pushed him out of the way.  A jet of red light came streaking in the sky, hitting a tree.  Ron and Harry stood up and started running towards the Burrow.

         Hermione tripped over a log and fell to the ground.  “Hermione!”  Ron and Harry skidded to a stop.  The Death Eaters were getting nearer.

         “Expelliarmus!”  Snape, as well as a bunch other Death Eaters, got blasted off their feet, knocking down many others behind them.  There was a cloud of dust as the Death Eaters tried to avoid the bodies on the ground.  Once the dust cleared, Lucius was in the lead.  He pointed his wand at Hermione.  “Avada Ked-“

         “Stupefy!”  Ron’s spell hit Lucius square in the chest.  He fell to the ground with a thud.

         “Hermione, get up!  They’re ganging on us!”  Ron and Harry helped Hermione up. 

         “Stupefy!”  Hermione turned around and hit a lady in the head.

         “Mudblood!”  Harry looked up and saw Malfoy on his broom, soaring above the rest of the crowd.  “You’ll pay for that!”

         “Obscuro!”  Malfoy’s eyes were covered with a blindfold.

         “Ha, ha!  Nice Hermione.”  Ron and Hermione high-fived.

         “He called me mudblood.”

         “You guys!  Help!”  Narcissa had grabbed Harry.

         “Bloody Hell!”  Ron pointed his wand at Narcissa, Malfoy’s mom.  “Petrificus Totalus!”  Narcissa fell to the ground, positioned as a soldier at attention.  “Get up Harry!”

         “I can’t.  She has a death grip on me!”

         “Just yank your arm away!”  Harry did as he was told, but when his arm was free, he heard a disgusting crunch come from Narcissa’s arm.  It was bent at a weird angle.
