"Woo hoo!"

Ron flew around on his broomstick in the dark clouds, looking for the other Quidditch players. Little did he know that a little something was jetting after him.

"Hello?" he shouted as he hit the ground. He looked through the window of the Hogwarts castle to see everyone running around. "Am I missing something?"

"Looks like they've ditched me," he said as he realized what was happening. "Never mind that, I'm gonna practice Quidditch myself!"

He turned around and took off on his broomstick, suddenly hearing a fluttering sound. "What's that?"

He quickly turned around. Nothing. He turned to the other side. Nothing.

"I'm just being stupid again," Ron said as he flew off to the practice goals. Once he arrived there, he picked up a ball and flew around the goals, throwing them in, darting to the other side and catching it.

"It's not quite the same without anyone else here to play," he said, "but it's still fun! I'm going to become better than them all!"

Fizzle. Fizzle.

"Huh?" Ron turned around, to see where that annoying sound was coming from. "What's this?!"

It was Pidove, the bird Patronus! "My Patronus?"

It was clear to Ron what had happened, well, atleast what he thought happened. Everyone had ditched him to make him feel better about himself and help him summon his Patronus!

"Thirty three. thirty four," a raspy voice could be heard in the distance. "Thirty six, thrity seven."

"Is some one following me?" asked Ron to no one in paticular. "Hello?"

"Fourty three, fourty four, fourty five," the voice kept going. "Fourty seven, fourty eight..."

"Excuse me," said Ron to the nothingness, "What are you counting to?"

There was a pause, then the voice broke out, "Fifty."

BOOM!

The Hogwarts castle wall blew up in a jet of green, as screams echoed all around. Pidove gave a shriek.

"Come on, Quid!" Ron yelled at his Patronus, and they flew up until they could see the entire Hogwarts castle, crumbling down, down, down...

Even from this high they could here screams and everyone running around.

"Am I missing something?" Ron asked Quid (Which is what he called his Pidove, after his favorite sport.).

Quid gave a tweet. Which probably meant yes.

"Ron!"

Ron looked down from his broomstick to see Hermione and Harry looking up at him, Kurai too. "Voldemort's here!"

Quid flew down and Ron followed. "What are we meant to do?"

"We fight." Hermione smirked.
