“How many time do I have to tell you, Potter, I’m on your side!” Draco yelled, only to be pushed back by the tip of Ron’s wand. “Oh, snap out of it Weasley, and give me back my wand so I can prove it to you.”

“You have got to… Hermione!” Ron exclaimed in horror, as his girlfriend threw the wand to the Slytherin, who deftly caught it.

Smirking, he pointed it at the rubble and issued a powerful blasting spell that cleared a path for them.

“I told you,” he smirked at the two boys, then headed towards the open space. “Come on, we have to get back to the battle and help the others.”
