Wizardry System

Chris saw the people waking up and saw that there were about 3 dozen students in years 6 and 7. In the middle of the group was Harry being carefully guarded by 3 people with one of them being Hermione.

"Come on everyone," Kristine said. "If we don't get to the base, all of us will be killed,"

'If only everyone can apparate...' Chris thought. However, due to the fact that underage apparation can be tracked and also because not everyone in their group could properly apparate, Chris couldn't take the risk.

"Let's go," Chris said as he noticed that everyone got ready. Hermione walked up to Chris as everyone started to walk.

"Chris at the rate we're going, we're going to get caught," Hermione said. "We're on the last step. We've destroyed all the Horcruxes and all we have to do is just group up with the main army. As long as we can escort Harry into the base, we can get rid of You-Know-Who. We can't afford to lose here. We've lost too much people. Dumbledore, Neville, Terry, and so many other people were killed,"

"I know," Chris said. "And if they caught up to us, you know the plan. I'll stay with a couple of other people. I'll bring a few down with me. Perhaps I'll give You-Know-Who a good fight before I go down,"

Hermione stayed silent. She went to the front and started to lead everybody.

The group walked as fast as they could. Due to some people having injuries though, they could not run and only speed-walk. Furthermore, as Chris knew that any magic used would be traced due to all of them being underaged, he forbid the use of it unless absolutely necessary.

The sky was beginning to darken and everybody seemed to be both extremely excited and nervous.

"Careful guys. We should be able to make it, but we have to also be very careful. Any mistake will lead us to our deaths," Chris said in a serious tone. He went up to Hermione who was continuing to lead everyone.

"So how much longer?" Chris asked.

"Not very long. We'll be at the designated spot soon. As soon as we find that secret spot, no matter how strong You-Know-Who is, he won't be able to find us," Hermione said.

"Good because I don't think everybody here can last much longer," Chris said as he looked behind at the tired students behind him. While most of the students were used to some strenuous activities, walking through a forest for an entire day was not an activity they can handle. They were wizards and witches not athletes. Even Harry, the athletic Quidditch player, was tired.

Hermione continued to look through the forest navigating her way to the designated spot. However, Chris heard a faint rustling sound.

'Shit!' Chris thought as he lifted his arm. The group quietly, but quickly tried to hide wherever possible. Fortunately, as it was night in the forest, there were plenty of places to hide and although there was some noise, it wasn't anything too loud. As he was staying still, Chris noticed a figure wearing a completely black cloak approaching them.

'Is it a Death Eater scout?' Chris thought as he tried to breathe as slowly as possible to try to not attract any attention. After looking back and forth and walking around for a couple of minutes, the man in black finally left.

"Alright let's go," Chris said. However, 5 men in the same black cloak suddenly appeared behind them. One of them shot a Morsmorde curse into the air signalling the presence of the students.

"GO!" Chris said to Hermione as she, Harry, and around 2 dozen students left some looking back emotionally as they knew that the ones remaining would most likely pass away. Hermione and Kristine also looked back and saw Chris' back. The two of them started to cry as they ran into the night.

The 5 men started to shoot spells at the dozen students. The spells had a green light signalling that it was all Avada Kedavras. Luckily, the students knew what to do. Instead of blocking them, they immediately shot out another spell most of the them being Expelliarmus spells.

Due to it being a 12 v 5, the fight was quickly over with all 5 men being subdued. Chris quickly used the sleep charm on all 5 of them putting them into deep sleep.

"We have 2 choices," Chris said. "Either we hide right now and ambush their main army and take down as many as we can or we can run in another direction and hope that they run towards us. 1 or 2 put out your fingers,"

The rest of the students put out only 1 finger.

"Alright hiding it is. Hide within the area and when I appear and attack, you all come and fire your spells as well. Remember this is most likely your last fight. Use the lethal spells you can. The more that die, the less trouble the others will have afterwards," Chris said. "If you understand go,"

Everyone scattered and started to hide. Chris also found a good hiding spot where he knew no one was going to be able to find him.

Several minutes later, a group of 20 people appeared. All except for 1 were wearing hoods and that one person was very familiar to Chris.

'Voldemort,' Chris thought angrily. He was repulsed by Voldemort's snake-like face devoid of any emotions. In the dark, he looked like a demon from hell.

When Voldemort saw the 5 sleeping men with no students around, he was livid.

He quickly killed all 5 of them using the Killing Curse and started to shout at the people behind him.

"Are these the type of morons that you brought to me?! They have lost to students. Mere students! And they have not even scratched a single one of those students! Incompetent fools!" Voldemort exclaimed.

"I'm sorry my lord, but the students that ran were the elites of Hogwarts," A Death Eater said as he kneeled. "We cannot blame the failures on those men. They were mere-"

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort chanted. The ominous green light hit the kneeling Death Eater and he fell to the ground. The other Death Eaters flinched a bit.

"Find them! If we do not find them by tonight, you all will be personally tortured by me!" Voldemort shouted.

"Understood," The Death Eaters said in unison. However, before they could move, Chris jumped out of his hiding spot.

"Confringo!" Chris chanted.

Author's Note: Hello, guys, it's been a long week already lmao. Shit's been crazy and I bȧrėly understand what's going on lmao. So as you guys know, COVID has been screwing everything up and it's financially hurting my family as well (a lot). It's to the point where I don't even know if I'll have a roof on top of my head after this passes. This is not a donation thing. In fact, I'm thinking about shutting my pat_reon down as I feel bad taking money from people when I don't even upload as frequently. This is just an alert as I might have go on an indefinite hiatus if something goes wrong. I really do want to continue to write, finish this story, and write even more. However, with things heading towards the terrible side, I don't know if I can have the leisure of writing. However, I will definitely upload for now and I hope that I can put out as much as I can before shit hits the fan.
