Part 96: Beginning Of The End

Alastor stopped to help some of the people at the back but as he reached his hand out to one of the members, his broom was hit with a spell and he fell off, rolling down to the grass, thankfully alive.

Meanwhile, Edgar Bones had successfully reached the ruins of an old castle where he took cover behind a stone pillar, awaiting for the mayhem.

He heard the same evil laughter that attacked him in the vapor. The inhuman, loud chortling of a woman. It haunted him. When he peeked behind the stone wall he saw a bolt of green light dash for him and he barely dodged it. He quickly stuck out his wand and blindly shot out a spell to the root of his attacker, waiting for any sign, any sound of impact - but it never came. All he could hear was the distant rumbling of the duelers. 

As he stepped to run for a different cover, he saw her - her bushy, messy hair, her blood lusting eyes peering into him. He ducked, knowing she was about to murder him.

Noticing him hide down, she laughed. Deeply and sincerely.

"Come here, don't be shy" - she snickered

With her chin up, she didn't take eyes off her target, she stuck out her tongue in terrifying, curious excitement. The thrill that he feared her pleased her. 

Until a flash of light charged for her hand and the wand she grasped jumped out to the ground. She tilted her head, glaring at the direction where it came from, only to see a man with shoulder length brown hair and a mustache smirking at her.

"Why don't you find someone else to taunt" - his voice didn't show any fright

"Well, isn't it delightful to see you, cousin" - she gave him a sly leer "All alive and well, trashing the good family name. Speaking of family..." - she mockingly pouted "How's Regulus?"

"You know nothing of family, Bellatrix. It is not my fault I was born into one with deranged people like you." - he held his wand straight at her "Always have been ashamed to be your relative."

"So what will you do, Sirius?" - she smirked, lifting her eyebrows in confidence "Kill me?"

"No. Something a lot worse is out there waiting for you, Bellatrix"

She scoffed before spotting another death eater - Antonin Dolohov arrive behind Sirius "Well it was lovely to catch up, cousin, but business calls"

Sirius tracked her sight and spotted the enemy just in time for him to turn. Dolohov and Black quickly waved their wands at the same time and their spells clashed against one another's, bursting out colors of green and red like an erupting volcano as the earth trembled beneath their feet.

Meanwhile, Bellatrix rushed to retrieve her wand, but Edgar bones was closer to it. He quickly crawled then hopped on his feet, kicking it further away from her.

She shot him the type of glare that would assure his death sentence, she knew she was going to kill him as soon as she got a hold of her weapon again. 

But when she walked towards it, she stopped at the sight of someone else's hand picking it up.

Bellatrix frowned "You want to give that to me"

"No" - you cheekily replied, gripping onto her wand. Without wasting breath, you shot out a spell at her that flew as quick as real lightning but she apparited away just in time.

You felt a gush of swift wind to your right and when you looked over, you locked eyes with freshly teleported Remus Lupin. 

"Go" - he instantly said, his eyes jumping to the left, where James Potter was fighting Lucius Malfoy and Crabbe at the same time in a 1 vs. 2 duel.  Lupin ran over to help, immediately disarming Crabbe. Goyle flew in and momentarily paralyzed Remus, who collapsed as stiff as stone.
