Clanverse: Rocks Fall...

Platform Nine and Three Quarters had become a war zone, as Aurors and parents fought against Voldemort and his Death Eaters as they attempted to attack the Hogwarts Express, which had been dropping all of the children off home for the Summer.

On the side of the Aurors were those teachers who had travelled with the train and those few who weren’t really children, but adults who had charms that allowed them to fit in more easily among their year mates, and most of their family members.

“Robyn, take her and go.” Mana, the Dark Magician Girl, called, pushing her seven month old daughter into the arms of Robyn Golden, as the sounds of the fighting reached them, the blonde’s head turning towards the noises.

“You don’t have to go out there.” Robyn frowned. Mana was already gone, leaving Robyn holding the baby and joining the battle.

Robyn hesitated for only a moment, before side-along Apparating, with Nakia, Mana’s daughter, away from the fighting.

Outside the battle wasn’t going well, the Death Eaters hadn’t expected any heavy resistance, but the people defending the students hadn’t expected an attack in the first place, giving Voldemort and the Death Eaters the advantage.

It wasn’t helped by the fact that several of the Slytherins had turned on their classmates and there were other students who were under the imperius.

The situation had turned impossible very quickly and the Domino Clan, who had attempted to sent their younger members through the gate, to safety, only to have the route out blocked, were backed into a corner.

They’d already lost Ombre, who had been killed when she had taken out Lucius Malfoy, and Ron had managed to grab Ginny and Rebecca and get them out to safety, but hadn’t been able to get back in to help.

Harry was locked in battle with Voldemort himself, as Yugi and Yami attempted to get through the Death Eaters to the battle going on beyond, testing his light against Voldemort’s shadows, just as he had in the graveyard.

But it was burning out, and for all the magic that Yugi was sending him down the link, his light boosting Harry’s, Harry wasn’t sure how much longer they could hold out.

They were losing ground in this battle…

“Avada Kedavra!”

“No!”

Harry made the mistake of allowing himself to be distracted by Yugi’s cry, watching with horror as Yami fell, just as Kari had. `Yami!`

There was no answer and Harry saw Yugi snarl and start to cast spells again… Harry turned back to the battle, but the distraction had been long enough.

Voldemort had been waiting for him to turn back and was already waiting.

“Avada Kedavra!”

“Expelli…”

Harry was too slow, and was hit by Voldemort’s unforgivable curse before he could finish his incantation.

Yugi staggered as the link was cut, fatally turning away from his battle for the moment, to look disbelieving, that it took one of the Death Eaters to cast the killing curse, striking Yugi in the back…

Mana saw Yugi fall and darted forward, snatching up the Millennium Puzzle, and looking at Hermione who had frozen when all three had been killed in such quick succession.

“GO!” Hermione shrieked at her. “Take it and go!”

Mana hesitated only a moment, escaping as she was nearly attacked by a pair of Death Eaters…

Hermione, Kari… I’m sorry.
