The Astronomy Tower
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
Alula felt as though she too were hurtling through space; it had not happened. . . . It could not have happened...
"Out of here, quickly," said Snape.
He seized Draco by the scruff of the neck and forced him through the door ahead of the rest; Greyback and the squat brother and sister followed, the latter both panting excitedly. As they vanished through the door, Alula realized she could move again. Harry threw the Invisibility Cloak aside as the brutal-faced Death Eater, last to leave the tower top, was disappearing through the door.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
The Death Eater buckled as though hit in the back with something solid and fell to the ground, rigid as a waxwork, but he had barely hit the floor when Harry was clambering over him and running down the darkened staircase.
"Harry!" Alula called. She knew what he was going to do, he was going after Snape.

Alula leapt the last ten steps of the spiral staircase to run after Harry and stopped where he landed, her wand raised. The dimly lit corridor was full of dust; half the ceiling seemed to have fallen in, and a battle was raging before her, but even as she attempted to make out who was fighting whom, she heard a voice shout, "It's over, time to go!" and saw Harry tailing a disappearing Snape around the corner at the far end of the corridor; he and Draco seemed to have forced their way through the fight unscathed. As Alula plunged after them, one of the fighters detached themselves from the fray and flew at her: it was the werewolf, Fenrir. He was on top of Alula before she could raise her wand: Alula fell backwards, with filthy matted hair in her face, the stench of sweat and blood filling her nose and mouth, hot greedy breath at her throat -
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Alula felt Fenrir collapse against her; with a stupendous effort she pushed the werewolf off and onto the floor as a jet of green light came flying toward her; she ducked and ran, headfirst, into the fight. Her feet met something squashy and slippery on the floor and he stumbled. Two bodies were lying there, lying face down in a pool of blood, but there was no time to investigate. Beyond them, Alula saw Tonks fighting an enormous blond wizard who was sending curses flying in all directions, so that they ricocheted off the walls around them, cracking stone, shattering the nearest window.
