Looking up, Hermione saw Peeves zooming over them, dropping snargaluff pods
down onto the Death Eaters, whose heads were suddenly engulfed in wriggling green
tubers that looked like fat worms. A fistful of tubers had hit something up ahead; the damp
green roots were suspended improbably in mid-air.
"Someone's invisible there!" a masked Death Eater shouted, pointing at what
Hermione knew to be Sirius and Harry beneath the cloak.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Hermione called out, and the masked Death Eater rose into
the air, his limbs flailing around as he screamed in rage. She gave a sigh of relief as she saw
a large black dog dash from beneath the cloak and make a run for the Whomping Willow,
followed closely by a flapping, green-soaked cloak.
"Really, Granger?" Draco eyed her incredulously. "A first year spell?"
Hermione held Draco's stare with an emotionless look. With the slightest flick of
her wand, the floating Death Eater was flung into a castle wall with a loud crunch and fell
to the ground in an unconscious heap.
He smiled scornfully. "I'll deny it if you ever tell anyone, but... that was mildly
impressive."
The moment was short-lived, however, when a group of Death Eaters attacked
them from the other direction.
Hermione ducked behind a large stone pillar to avoid a Stunning Spell.
Draco's face changed immediately, looking very like the frightened boy he used to
be, throwing up his arms in surrender. "I'm Draco Malfoy!" he shouted as if pleading with
the masked invaders. "I'm Draco. I'm on your side!"
"Malfoy?" They gaped at him. "Where the bloody hell you been, boy?"
"Everte Statum!" Suddenly all three Death Eaters flew backward, landing on their
backsides. Draco followed up the attack by disarming all three. He grinned, twirling his
wand. "Idiots."
"You're dead, you little blood-traitor!"
"Incarcerous," Hermione said and watched as ropes flew out of her wand, binding the
Death Eaters. "Epoximise," she added, and the ropes drew themselves downward, sticking
to the stone floor beneath the new prisoners.
Malfoy sneered. "Showing off, Granger?"
