FORTY-SIX

LONDON, THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC.                          THE DEPARTMENT OF MYSETERIES.

The teenagers took flight and began to sprint out and away from the middle point, towards the door which seemed easier than it looked - their predictions being correct when Lucius Malfoy appeared from the black smoke, not saying a word but rather held out his arm. The teens seemed to separate and split into two groups. Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron sprinting past a small hallway of shelves, a group of glass orbs being knocked over due to a spell Hermione used, sprinting past but was whipped off her feet.

Y/n, Neville and Luna took the other direction, also shimmying past shelves until Luna got kicked to the ground, with a punch through the nose. Y/n stopped in her tracks Neville copying, both sliding their wands up, only for Luna to shoot a stunning spell which caused the death eater to fly high into the air.

Another death eater came stomping towards the three as he punch Neville, giving the boy a bloodied, broken nose. The boy only raised his wand on instinct, y/n watching with fright watering her eyes.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Neville yelled, the death eaters froze still and fell directly onto his back, y/n smirked. Luna jumped up and held onto Neville's shoulder, pulling the boy away from the death eaters as them began to run back towards the isolated door frame.

"Black!" A voice growled from behind the three, slamming y/n onto her front. Luna and Neville turned to see y/n groaning against the metal ground, the death eater sitting on her back, yanking her hair up, forcing her head up with her expressions squeezed in agony.

"Stupefy!" Neville cried, the death eater taken out of focus as his head jolted back slightly, knocking his mask off, revealing his slim dark face and chestnut hair. 

Y/n manage to straddle the death eater down after Neville's help, snatching the mask beside his hand with both hands to slam against the death eaters face repeatedly, leaving the man cuts and onto the death eaters face. "Go, go, now!" She ordered the two ahead of her, pushing their shoulders in order to speed themselves up, meeting with Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron who seemed to be protecting themselves from another random death eater.

"Reducto!" The ginger girl preached, the teens altogether watching as the last death eater was blasted back into the high end of the corridor, slamming onto the ground as the charm shimmied towards the shelves.

The teens watched breathlessly with blood on almost all of their faces. The room fell quiet as the shelves began to dislocate and pop out of its screw which held it up, the prophecies rolling off the ends of the wooden slabs, wobbling out of control and the glass orbs raining downwards, closer to the ground and smashing into pieces against the metal flooring. The shelves collided onto each other causing thousands more prophecies to roll off the wood and shatter.

"Get back to the door!" Harry yelled, everyone but Luna turned and began to pounce towards the door, Luna stood there stars truck, dreamily watching the glass orbs clash against the ground

"Luna!" Neville called, grabbing onto the dirty blonde haired girls wrist, dragging her out of her haze, mesmerised by the glass shattering against the metal fencing.

All teens continued to sprint, dominos of shelves seemed to fall quicker and just behind their ankles, the sound of glass smashing only seemed to ring in their ears, the door getting closer and closer as they ran. Their lungs gasping for air each step they took towards the black door, Harry taking the lead with the prophecy in his hand like a rugby ball, since a death eater would attack them any moment, however any prophecy that came descending from the top shelf would cause a cracked skull.
