Later in the evening the mess in Hogwarts had all calmed down, fortunately the DA were smart and discreet enough to not get blamed for the schools chaos. Many rumours were going around about how Harry was responsible for this and how he was going to be expelled, although those mostly came from Malfoy.
In the Gryffindor common room everyone sat comfortably, some were playing, some were studying and some were just talking. Ginny sat with the twins, she had a book in her hands and the was multi-tasking between talking with the twins and reading the book.
"Ginny" Ron walked up to her, followed by the bushy haired nuisance "I've had it with the suspense, what is Harry up to?" The room went silent, all wanting to know.
"Why?" Ginny asked calmly
"Ginny" Hermione spoke "he walked into class, tied up the inquisitorial squad and Professor Umbridge and left while Hogwarts was in chaos! He also said he was going to kill some death eaters at the ministry!"
"I'm aware" Ginny said matter-of-factly
"Then how are you so calm?!"
"Because when Harry wants to do something, it's usually pretty useless to try and stop him."
"Hey guys" Neville shouted "listen to this!" He turned the radio up and everyone paid close attention to the voice.
"The ministry is in utter chaos! The danger may be over but people are still panicking, some have even began preparing to leave the country. Listen nice and close ladies and gents, because this story is a whopper and it ends with twenty-eight deaths and two massive reveals that will shock the country" Some of the Gryffindor's leaned closer.
"Today at the ministry there was a disturbance near the department of mysteries, specifically the room containing prophecies and the room that holds the veil of death. Apparently about thirty death eaters were found in the ministry, it is believed that they were on a mission from you-know-who. Thirty death eaters entered, but now only two of those death eaters remain alive." A few gasps were heard but everyone else was too busy listening to notice
"The prophecies room has been wrecked and a few of those death eaters were found under the collapsed shelves and ceilings of the room, the only one alive out of those few was Mr Nott, a person who has claimed that he was under the effects of the imperious curse during the last war. He was found with a pair of crushed legs and bruises whilst in a complete death eater outfit.
But upon closer inspection it seemed that some of the death eaters that were found dead in that room were not killed by the falling ceiling or shelves, but by the killing curse. One death eater body was found just outside that room while the rest were found dead in the veil room apart from one death eater who had also made it out alive.
Lucius Malfoy, another person who had claimed to be under the effect of the imperious curse. He was found with a broken collarbone, twisted ankle and a black eye. The rest of the death eaters were all dead, and it is believed that one of them was thrown through the veil of death. The increase in magical activity around the veil is what lead to people being alerted of the fight. Once a few ministry officials entered the veil room, all they found was an unconscious Malfoy and a lot of dead death eaters. Including one Bellatrix Lestrange who had according to sources, has had all of her skin burnt off."
The room gasped in horror and shock, all except for Neville who had tears of joy in his eyes. He looked at Ginny, she smiled back, he wiped his tears and paid attention to the radio.
"But that's not even the most interesting part people, when the reporters and ministry officials arrived at the entrance of the ministry along with the minister of magic, they found an unbelievable sight. The vigilante known as Curse along with the dark lord, you-know-who and the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, all meters away from each other."
"Oh my god" Hermione whispered
"You-know-who was kneeling on the floor, it looked as if his feet were frozen to the floor. Curse had his wand pointed at him, and it appeared that Dumbledore was trying to negotiate the surrender of both of them. Curse tried to kill you-know-who but was stopped by Dumbledore, he then shot a spell at Dumbledore, fortunately the leader of the light was not hurt"
"Obviously he wasn't hurt" Ron smiled "he's Dumbledore!" A few of the common room, including Hermione glared at him for interrupting.
"You-know-who took advantage of the distraction" They continued listening "he got rid of the ice and went for his wand, then lightning shot from his wand and hit Curse directly. The lightning had pushed Curse back and everyone was suddenly worried, each and every one of us had wondered the same thing. Was this the end, was this the end of the masked anti-hero? Was Curse going to be killed? Apparently not, when Curse was pushed back by the lightning his hood went off and everyone saw his face."
"They saw his face?" Hermione asked in complete shock
"It was amazing people, the lightning looked as if it didn't bother him at all, it flew all around his body like a very fast snake. He looked up, he smiled and winked! He actually smiled and winked at the dark lord himself! Right after he sent the lightning straight back at him and knocked him off his feet, he went flying meters back into the air. Words can't describe the feeling of seeing it in real life, you-know-who escaped did escape however.
