Harry dove and elbowed Wormtail in the face as he fell to his knees. He then rolled into the now available space behind the chair. He heard Snape dive away from the center of the room as well. Harry closed his eyes for a moment as his mind raced with the implications. Wormtail was alive, he had escaped death almost as many times as harry had. Voldemort was laughing maniacally. Harry cast a shield charm over the unconscious forms of Tonks, Kingsley, Leslie and Annabella. He needn�t bother though, Voldemort was only after him now. Harry scrambled across the room, dodging streaks of curses that Voldemort was hurling at him.
�Wormtail! I want him brought to me. NOW!� he screeched, enraged. �Potter! You may have gotten away from me, time and time again. But today is the day that you DIE!�
Harry realized that his invisibility cloak was still about his shoulders and he pulled it on properly, raising th hood. He crept as quietly and quickly as possible to the other side of the room and watched as Pettigrew searched where he had previously been hiding.
�M-my lord,� he stuttered, �he�s not here!� he looked as is he was afraid for his life.
�What. Do. You. Mean?� Voldemort was seething with fury.
�He, he must ha-have escaped, he has that invisibility c-cloak.�
Voldemort Roared with rage. Harry crawled on his stomach to where Snape was now lying, unconscious, a dark purple blotch forming on his forehead, near his temple. Harry was not sure what to do, the other members of his team were still knocked out in the middle of the floor and it seemed as if the others were not coming back, or were unable to do so. �I�m all alone in this,� Harry thought as he squared his shoulders and stood up.
It was at that point that he felt it, in his pocket something was getting hot. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the mirror, it immediately cooled. He looked at it with dread and saw Ginny�s panicked face. He was not entirely sure how the mirror worked but he gave a sigh of thanks as her voice blossomed in his head.
�Harry! I�m sorry but I couldn�t wait and go through this alone! They�re after me now though, they must have followed me, somehow, when I snuck out to go to the order headquarters to be with my family. I'm Sorry! Oh, they are coming, I think I only have few moments. I just wanted to say I�m sorry and that I love you and to remember that this WORLD is more important than ME!� she looked up suddenly and then disappeared as the mirror spun to the ground. Harry saw a group of two or three death eaters holding her and dragging her away before he could only see the sky.
He fought back the rage and tears with all of his might. Surely they would be bringing her here. He attempted to contact Dumbledore, moody, anyone but his earpiece seemed to be broken or else Voldemort had some sort of blocking spell over the house, that would also explain why the other order members were still not back. He swallowed thickly, trying to think of a plan. None of this was going the way it was supposed to and he wasn�t sure what to do now.
Suddenly there was the crack of people apparating into the room. It was the death eaters and Ginny. Voldemort laughed with triumph as harry watched him step towards her. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as Ginny began to cry.
�Potter will come now. He always has to play the hero. And I know he wont let us hurt his little girlfriend.� Voledmort laughed again and Harry wanted to kill him with his bare hands.
The death eater to Ginny�s right spoke, �I�ve brought the Weasley girl, my lord. May I be the one to torture her in front of Potter?� She laughed and lowered her hood, it was Bellatrix Lestrange! Harry almost gasped in surprise. He had seen Bellatrix removed by the order members!
