Part 1 :
Hermione raced after Ron. They had both heard someone using the killing spell. Of course, Ron started running like an idiot. So Hermione ran after him, and quickly caught up with him. They had arrived at a spot that looked creepy. Hermione saw some chains on the ground that were buried in the ground. Except no one was tied to the chains.
She looked around herself and saw some trees on the ground or that had a hole on their trunk. She assumed a fight had taken place here. She looked more carefully around her, looking for clues. She almost shouted when she saw some kind of monster lying on the ground, most likely dead. She observed it with disgust, and she noticed, a muzzle instead of a nose, some rat ears, and a tail. The man was mostly grey, but she recognized Peter Pettigrew. She started panicking. If Wormtail was alive, that meant that other death eaters could have survived the Second Wizarding War. She made a list in her head of every enemy that could be working with Wormtail and each name made her tremble. What if Bellatrix, Greyback, or worse even Voldemort survived. That wasn't impossible as he had already been defeated once and came back. She feared for her life but mostly for the lives of the people she loved. But as she got more and more anxious, she heard the sound of a wand fight and turned around.

Part 2 :
Harry had a serious headache. But it did not really matter to him as he knew he would soon die. He had accepted that. However he was not ready to see Ginny die. He has grown some true feelings for her in four years, and their love story was true in every way. When he proposed to her, and she said yes, it was the happiest he had ever felt. She made him happy, sad, sometimes angry. But he knew quickly he wanted to marry her. This was supposed to be the happiest day in their life, instead it had turned into a nightmare.
So when Brutus used her as a hostage to make sure no one was watching them, Harry became furious. He tried to break his chains but he was bound by magic. He waited to see if anyone would come out of the tree. Ron, Hermione, anyone!!
But it was a cat!! A stupid cat would do him no good. How could a cat save him ...
He realised who had come to save him.

Part 3 :
Minerva Mcgonagall was thrilled to go to Harry Potter and Ginny's wedding. She was so proud of who they had turned out to be. Of course she was busy, as the headmistress of Hogwarts. But she could leave for a day or two. At first, the ceremony went flawlessly. She even cried a little bit at their speech. Suddenly, she was thrown to the ground. When she woke up, it was dark. She was in the middle of the woods. So she walked until she saw a fire. She hid behind a nearby tree and listened to the conversation. She couldn't believe her hears. Lucius Malfoy had a secret brother that joined Voldemort.
She tried to get closer as she couldn't hear the whole conversation. But she must have made a sound as the people stopped talking. She heard a man pronounce the killing spell. Then that same man, Brutus, she presumed, talked directly to her : "If you do not come out of your hiding spot, the girl dies."
She quickly turned into a cat and went around the tree. The blond haired enemy released Ginny and sat down. As a cat, Minerva felt more free even if her agility had diminished over the years. She disappeared behind the trees and regained her human form, drew her wand and cast a silent spell.

Malfoy must have felt it as he avoided her stunning spell. He was a ferocious enemy. He was angry and yelled a few times "Avada Kedavra" Minerva felt a green energy behind her back. He had spotted her.
"I should have known it was you Mcgonagall! I hope you can keep up with me or you'll soon end up dead."
Minerva knew she couldn't win the fight so she instead tried to free Harry. Her fighting days were over. She risked a glance in his direction by sticking her head out. Brutus saw her and fired another curse at her. She threw a smoke spell as she dove behind another tree.
"Well done! I see you still have your cat reflexes in your human form. But I doubt your age will allow you to continue much longer."Brutus yelled
Minerva casted a spell in the direction where she had seen Harry. She heard the sound of chains falling on the ground and she knew she had succeeded.

Part 4 :
Brutus was furious at himself. How could he have failed so miserably. He had been distracted for a few minutes, and now Harry Potter was free. But his rage was his fuel and he knew he could still kill Harry Potter. He got rid of the smoke by casting "Finite Incantatem". He gained back his sight and looked around him. Nothing!! Nothing but chains on the ground! Where were Harry and Ginny. He looked behind him and was quick enough to cast a protection spell. The man standing in front of him, was Harry Potter. He had a damaged suit and he looked very tired but Brutus saw some anger and determination in his eyes. He threw another spell but this time Brutus was too slow. He got thrown against a tree. He got up painfully. Harry was still there, with his wand pointed at him. Brutus had lost his wand and he knew he didn't stand a chance. So he decided to flee. Try his luck another day. He transformed into a snake and left. But he was not quick enough and Harry captured him. All his plans had been for nothing. The dark lord would have been so disappointed.
