Running Brave

Fear pulsed though Harry's young Centaur body as he held the tearful babe to his chest though his emerald green eyes never left the blood bath going on at the bottom of the hill. Feeling the small hands that held onto his body in several different places Harry looked down and did his best to smile at each and every young child in a comforting manner.

"Do not worry little ones, my mate and I will look after you. These horrible Muggle's will not lay a hand on you," Harry said in a comforting tone while trying his best to ignore the fact that this year he had only just been about to start his sixth year at Hogwarts. "I will look after you forever and ever or until your parents come for you."

"Thank you for doing this Mr. Potter," Amelia Bones said stiffly causing Harry to look up and offer her a strained but understanding smile. "If only I could turn back the time and use some real Voodoo on these truly evil Muggles...if only there was a key that could magically unlock a door to a better future for us all..."

"If only that was true Madam Bones, but humans always seem to forget about the relaxing smells of Cinnamon and apple to kill something they are scared of," Bane said seriously, Harry allowed himself to relax slightly as he carefully lent against his handsome mate while being careful of the several young human children clinging to him like limpets. "If only they had taught us how the Muggle human's mind worked. Then maybe we would not be in this state."

"True but life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. I find myself hating the fact that because of Dumbledore's and the Dark Lord's stupidity our safety is gone but then again now is not the time to decide what to do about them...we have to get these little ones to safety," Amelia said softly as she shot the fearful children a motherly look. "Please do not return until you have received the agreed upon message. I do not want you all to come back here only to find that we have allowed Hogwarts to fall."

"Can you not just put a spell or hex on these Muggle human's minds until you can get everyone to safety?" Bane asked as he placed a looking hand on the back of his mate's horse half lovingly. You are known even amongst use Centaur's for being perfect."

"You might of told me that in truth but I find it hard to believe," Amelia said sadly as she shifted her body to hide what she could of the bloodshed from the children. "But this perfection is my limit. You both, Bane and Harry, have infinite potential. I truly believe that if you are given a chance to and if people will just stop and listen to you that you can stop all of this madness...why must people hurt or destroy what they do not truly understand or fear?"

"It is human nature," Harry replied only to tighten his protective hold on the baby in his arms as his eyes met that of crazed, blood lusting brown eyes. "Sweet Merlin, Madam Bones we have just been spotted."

Several creative swear words fell from Amelia's lips as she turned to face what would be known as one of the most bloodiest times in their history. "You all need to go, now. The Japanese Ministry of Magic knows what is going on and have agreed to protect you both and the children with you and those who have already been sent into hiding."

"Understood, but what about you?" Harry asked nervously as loud footsteps made their way towards them.

"It is time for someone to stand up to them," Amelia answered simply as she pulled out her wand only to pause and shot the Centaur couple a wise look. "Do not run scared. Run Brave."
