Mounted on the Thestral, holding Hermione-Harry steady with one hand, Kingsley shot spells at the pursuing Death Eaters. With Hermione joining fight, they were able to injure at least two and perhaps kill one before Hermione gave an ear-splitting scream.
Voldemort was in front of them, flying without support. His serpentine features curled in to a malevolent smile: he was enjoying this.
Kingsley felt the righteous anger build within him. He turned his wand on Voldemort. “Avad-”
Voldemort vanished. Kingsley continued to send spells out into the night holding Hermione firmly, urging the beast beneath him towards their destination.
