A cloud of grey-black smoke poured from the crumbling Ministry building. Dozens of onlookers stared in shock and disbelief. Those who were able to flee the building did so quickly. Others remained trapped inside as the smoke and flames escalated upward. A second explosion tore through the back half of the structure. Bystanders screamed and darted for cover as debris and shattered glass flew toward them.
Severus coughed and choked on the toxic fumes as he tried to make his way through the black haze. His left foot encountered a large mass that moaned when he gently nudged it. Severus knelt down next to the injured person, trying to ascertain the extent of his injuries.
“Arthur, can you hear me?” Severus asked as he finally got a good look at the fallen victim. “Come now, can you stand? We’ve got to get out of here.”
“Go on, Severus, just leave me. I can’t feel my legs. Save yourself before it’s too late.”
“Nonsense, man, I’m not going anywhere without you.” Severus said as he levitated Arthur Weasley up into the air and quickly propelled him out of the burning building.
“Molly, where is Molly?” Arthur moaned.
“I don’t know, Arthur, but I promise I will try to find her.”
Severus laid Arthur down on the ground in front of the assembling medical personnel and turned back toward the inferno that once was the Ministry of Magic.
