here u go not very good coz ive been ill so...
An extremely loud gunshot from the woods sounded, and five armed men, led by McCleary came running out of the woods, the barrels of their guns leveled at the death eaters.
“Ye leave those kids alone ye b*****ds!” yelled McCleary, a double-barreled shotgun aimed at Voldemort’s head. “Ye git on outta here or I’ll blow ye head off!”
Harry looked quickly between Voldemort and McCleary, the former obviously weighing the situation and his odds. Before anyone had time to react though, one of the death eaters spun around and aimed his wand at one of the men beside McCleary.
Harry couldn’t help but find it ironic that for all the magic wizards had, they were really no match for a gun. Three shots sounded loud and clear before the death eater could even utter a word, and he fell to the ground in a bloody mess.
“Ye try anything like tha’ again, and ye’re all dead!” bellowed McCleary.
Voldemort was livid, it was easy to tell...but even Harry knew that Voldemort wasn’t stupid.
“I will now take my leave of you, Potter,” said Voldemort, dropping his arm from Hermione’s neck. “But I promise you, this isn’t over by a long shot.”
“I’m well aware of that,” spat Harry.
“Come,” growled Voldemort to his death eaters. With seven cracks they all disappeared, and the four teens instantly drew their wands in case they decided to return.
“Ye okay?” asked McCleary, coming up to them.
“We’re alright,” said Harry, walking over to Hermione to make sure she was okay. “How did you know we were in trouble?”
“Neighbor heard a lass screamin’ an’ called fer help,” said McCleary, still holding onto his shotgun tightly. “An’ there ain’t no law around here ‘sides me, so I rounded up me boys an’ run ar arses o’er here.”
“We’re indebted to you,” said Hermione graciously.
“Ah, dun ye worry ‘bout it,” said McCleary. “This is Jackson, McPherson, Farstall, Luther, and Kingsford, by the way.”
The teens smiled and nodded at the men, who grunted in response.
“Don’ take it personally,” laughed McCleary. “They dun talk much.”
“I understand that,” laughed Harry.
“We best be getting away from here,” said McCleary. “In case any o’ those b*****ds come back, eh?”
Harry nodded and the four of them were about to follow the men out of the clearing when three cracks sounded behind them.
“Stupefy!” three different, yet familiar voices yelled. In an instant, three jets of red let hit half of the men, and in another second the other three fell. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Luna whirled around, wands drawn, only to come face to face with Lupin, Tonks, and Moody.
“You really didn’t need to make such a big entrance, you know,” said Harry, shaking his head.
“Didn’t know if they were the ones causing the commotion,” said Remus. “What happened?”
“Voldemort showed up,” said Hermione. “We’d be in a lot of trouble right now if these men hadn’t saved us.”
“McCleary?” asked Lupin, looking down at the fallen red-haired man. “Didn’t know he was still around.”
“You know him?” asked Harry.
“Course I do,” replied Lupin. “He was good friends with your parents...but he doesn’t know a lick about magic. Obliviate.”
Harry watched as Lupin repeated the charm five more times for each of the men, and then woke them.
“How the hell did I end up down ‘ere?” McCleary asked, blinking.
“Dunno,” shrugged Lupin. “I reckon you lot got drunk and passed out.”
“Oh aye...” groaned McCleary. “Well, sorry to intrude, we’ll be goin’ then.”
Harry suppressed a chuckle as the six men wandered off down the trail before turning to Lupin.
“How did you know we were in trouble?” he asked, watching as Moody’s magical eye continued to follow the men.
“Trouble sensors,” Lupin explained, pointing at the garden. “I would’ve been here sooner but I didn’t want to come alone in case I ran into more than I could handle.”
“So you’ve been keeping the garden?” asked Ron. Lupin nodded.
“What happened anyway?” asked Tonks.
“Like Hermione said, Voldemort showed up,” said Harry.
“He was actually here? Himself?” asked Moody, looking down at the dead death eater.
“Yeah,” said Harry. “I think it was a coincidence though, he seemed surprised to see us.”
“Macnair,” grunted Moody, pulling the mask off the man.
“Pity,” sighed Harry. “And here I was hoping it was someone important.”
“I wonder why he was here,” contemplated Lupin. “It’s not like him to go prancing around the country in broad daylight, with or without death eaters.”
“He said he was searching for something...” trailed Harry. “He was interested in why we were here...”
Harry’s eyes widened as he remembered something Dumbledore had once said to him.
“Lord Voldemort would prefer objects that, in themselves, have a certain grandeur.”
“Remus...” said Harry slowly. “Did my parents ever own anything that belonged to any of the founders?”
“Well...hmm,” said Remus thoughtfully. “Not that I know of...why?”
“We have to get to the Durselys,” said Harry, looking at Lupin. “Can you apparate us there?”
“Tonks, take Luna, will you?” asked Remus as he took Harry's arm.
Tonks nodded and placed her hand on Luna's shoulder.
“We’ll see you there, then,” said Harry, and a moment later he was gone
