s　around　him；　he　was　clinging　to　the　sidecar　for　dear　life。　Hedwig's　cage；　the　Firebolt；　and　his　rucksack　slipped　from　beneath　his　knees　…
〃No　…　HELP！〃
The　broomstick　spun　too；　but　he　just　managed　to　seize　the　strap　of　his　rucksack　and　the　top　of　the　cage　as　the　motorbike　swung　the　right　way　up　again。　A　second's　relief；　and　then　another　burst　of　green　light。　The　owl　screeched　and　fell　to　the　floor　of　the　cage。
〃No　…　NO！〃
The　motorbike　zoomed　forward；　Harry　glimpsed　hooded　Death　Eaters　scattering　as　Hagrid　blasted　through　their　circle。
〃Hedwig　…　iHedwigi　…〃
But　the　owl　lay　motionless　and　pathetic　as　a　toy　on　the　floor　of　her　cage。　He　could　not　take　it　in；　and　his　terror　for　the　others　was　paramount。　He　glanced　over　his　shoulder　and　saw　a　mass　of　people　moving；　flares　of　green　light；　two　pairs　of　people　on　brooms　soaring　off　into　the　distance；　but　he　could　not　tell　who　they　were　…
〃Hagrid；　we've　got　to　go　back；　we've　got　to　go　back！〃　he　yelled　over　the　thunderous　roar　of　the　engine；　pulling　out　his　wand；　ramming　Hedwig's　cage　into　the　floor；　refusing　to　believe　that　she　was　dead。　〃Hagrid；　TURN　AROUND！〃
〃My　job's　ter　get　you　there　safe；　Harry！〃　bellow　Hagrid；　and　he　opened　the　throttle。
〃Stop　…　STOP！〃　Harry　shouted；　but　as　he　looked　back　again　two　jets　of　green　light　flew　past　his　left　ear：　Four　Death　Eaters　had　broken　away　from　the　circle　and　were　pursuing　them；　aiming　for　Hagrid's　broad　back。　Hagrid　swerved；　but　the　Death　Eaters　were　keeping　up　with　the　bike；　more　curses　shot　after　them；　and　Harry　had　to　sink　low　into　the　sidecar　to　avoid　them。　Wriggling　around　he　cried；　〃iStupefy！〃i　and　a　red　bolt　of　light　shot　from　his　own　wand；　cleaving　a　gap　between　the　four　pursuing　Death　Eaters　as　they　scattered　to　avoid　it。
〃Hold　on；　Harry；　this'll　do　for　'em！〃　roared　Hagrid；　and　Harry　looked　up　just　in　time　to　see　Hagrid　slamming　a　thick　finger　into　a　green　button　near　the　fuel　gauge。
A　wall；　a　solid　black　wall；　erupted　out　of　the　exhaust　pipe。　Craning　his　neck；　Harry　saw　it　expand　into　being　in　midair。　Three　of　the　Death　Eaters　swerved　and　avoided　it；　but　the　fourth　was　not　so　lucky；　He　vanished　from　view　and　then　dropped　like　a　boulder　from　behind　it；　his　broomstick　broken　into　pieces。　One　of　his　fellows　slowed　up　to　save　him；　but　they　and　the　airborne　wall　were　swallowed　by　darkness　as　Hagrid　leaned　low　over　the　handlebars　and　sped　up。
More　Killing　Curses　flew　past　Harry's　head　from　the　two　remaining　Death　Eaters'　wands；　they　were　aiming　for　Hagrid。　Harry　responded　with　further　Stunning　Spells：　Red　and　green　collided　in　midair　in　a　shower　of　multicolored　sparks；　and　Harry　thought　wildly　of　fireworks；　and　the　Muggles　below　who　would　have　no　idea　what　was　happening　…
〃Here　we　go　again；　Harry；　hold　on！〃　yelled　Hagrid；　and　he　jabbed　at　a　second　button。　This　time　a　great　net　burst　from　the　bike's　exhaust；　but　the　Death　Eaters　were　ready　for　it。　Not　only　did　they　swerve　to　avoid　it；　but　the　companion　who　had　slowed　to　save　their　unconscious　friend　had　caught　up。　He　bloomed　suddenly　out　of　the　darkness　and　now　three　of　them　were　pursuing　the　motorbike；　all　shooting　curses　after　it。
〃This'll　do　it；　Harry；　hold　on　tight！〃　yelled　Hagrid；　and　Harry　saw　him　slam　his　whole　hand　onto　the　purple　button　beside　the　speedometer。
With　an　unmistakable　bellowing　roar；　dragon　fire　burst　from　the　exhaust；　white…hot　and　blue；　and　the　motorbike　shot　forward　like　a　bullet　with　a　sound　of　wrenching　metal。　Harry　saw　the　Death　Eaters　swerve　out　of　sight　to　avoid　the　deadly　trail　of　flame；
and　at　the　same　time　felt　the　sidecar　sway　ominously：　Its　metal　connections　to　the　bike　had　splintered　with　the　force　of　acceleration。
〃It's　all　righ'；　Harry！〃　bellowed　Hagrid；　now　thrown　flat　onto　the　back　by　the　surge　of　speed；　nobody　was　steering　now；　and　the　sidecar　was　starting　to　twist　violently　in　the　bike's　slipstream。
〃I'm　on　it；　Harry；　don'　worry！〃　Hagrid　yelled；　and　from　inside　his　jacket　pocket　he　pulled　his　flowery　pink　umbrella。
〃Hagrid！　No！　Let　me！〃
i〃REPARO！〃i
There　was　a　deafening　bang　and　the　sidecar　broke　away　from　the　bike　completely。　Harry　sped　forward；　propelled　by　the　impetus　of　the　bike's　flight；　then　the　sidecar　began　to　lose　height　…
In　desperation　Harry　pointed　his　wand　at　the　sidecar　and　shouted；　i〃Wingardium　Leviosa！〃i
The　sidecar　rose　like　a　cork；　unsteerable　but　at　least　still　airborne。　He　had　but　a　split　second's　relief；　however；　as　more　curses　streaked　past　him：　The　three　Death　Eaters　were　closing　in。
〃I'm　comin'；　Harry！〃　Hagrid　yelled　from　out　of　the　darkness；　but　Harry　could　feel　the　sidecar　beginning　to　sink　again：　Crouching　as　low　as　he　could；　he　pointed　at　the　middle　of　the　oncoming　figures　and　yelled；　i〃Impedimenta！〃i
The　jinx　hit　the　middle　Death　Eater　in　the　chest；　For　a　moment　the　man　was　absurdly　spread…eagled　in　midair　as　though　he　had　hit　an　invisible　barrier：　One　of　his　fellows　almost　collided　with　him　…
Then　the　sidecar　began　to　fall　in　earnest；　and　the　remaining　Death　Eater　shot　a　curse　so　close　to　Harry　that　he　had　to　duck　below　the　rim　of　the　car；　knocking　out　a　tooth　on　the　edge　of　his　seat　…
〃I'm　comin'；　Harry；　I'm　comin'！〃
A　huge　hand　seized　the　back　of　Harry's　robes　and　hoisted　him　out　of　the　plummeting　sidecar；　Harry　pulled　his　rucksack　with　him　as　he　dragged　himself　onto　the　motorbike's　seat　and　found　himself　back…to…back　with　Hagrid。　As　they　soared　upward；　away　from　the　two　remaining　Death　Eaters；　Harry　spat　blood　out　of　his　mouth；　pointed　his　wand　at　the　falling　sidecar；　and　yelled；　i〃Confringo！〃i
He　knew　a　dreadful；　gut…wrenching　pang　for　Hedwig　as　it　exploded；　the　Death　Eater　nearest　it　was　blasted　off　his　broom　and　fell　from　sight；　his　companion　fell　back　and　vanished。
〃Harry；　I'm　sorry；　I'm　sorry；〃　moaned　Hagrid；　〃I　shouldn'ta　tried　ter　repair　it　meself　…　yeh've　got　no　room　…〃
〃It's　not　a　problem；　just　keep　flying！〃　Harry　shouted　back；　as　two　more　Death　Eaters　emerged　out　of　the　darkness；　drawing　closer。
As　the　curses　came　shooting　across　the　intervening　space　again；　Hagrid　swerved　and　zigzagged：　Harry　knew　that　Hagrid　did　not　dare　use　the　dragon…fire　button　again；　with　Harry　seated　so　insecurely。　Harry　sent　Stunning　Spell　after　Stunning　Spell　back　at　their　pursuers；　barely　holding　them　off。　He　shot　another　blocking　jinx　at　them：　The　closest　Death　Eater　swerved　to　avoid　it　and　his　hood　slipped；　and　by　the　red　light　of　his　next　Stunning　Spell；　Harry　saw　the　strangely　blank　face　of　Stanley　Shunpike　…　Stan　…
i〃Expelliarmus！〃i　Harry　yelled。
〃That's　him；　it's　him；　it's　the　real　one！〃
The　hooded　Death　Eater's　shout　reached　Harry　even　above　the　thunder　of　the　motorbike's　engine：　Next　moment；　both　pursuers　had　fallen　back　and　disappeared　from　view。
〃Harry；　what's　happened？〃　bellowed　Hagrid。　〃Where've　they　gone？〃
〃I　don't　know！〃
But　Harry　was　afraid：　The　hooded　Death　Eater　had　shouted；　〃It's　the　real　one！〃；　how　had　he　known？　He　gazed　around　at　the　apparently　empty　darkness　and　felt　its　menace。　Where　were　they？
He　clambered　around　on　the　seat　to　face　forward　and　seized　hold　of　the　back　of　Hagrid's　jacket。
〃Hagrid；　do　the　dragon…fire　thing　again；　let's　get　out　of　here！〃
〃Hold　on　tight；　then；　Harry！〃
There　was　a　deafening；　screeching　roar　again　and　the　white…blue　fire　shot　from　the　exhaust：　Harry　felt　himself　slipping　backwards　off　what　little　of　the　seat　he　had。　Hagrid　flung　backward　upon　him；　barely　maintaining　his　grip　on　the　handlebars　…
〃I　think　we've　lost　'em　Harry；　I　think　we've　done　it！〃　yelled　Hagrid。
But　Harry　was　not　convinced；　Fear　lapped　at　him　as　he　looked　left　and　right　for　pursuers　he　was　sure　would　come。　。　。　。　Why　had　they　fallen　back？　One　of　them　had　still　had　a　wand。　。　。　。　iIt's　himi。　。　。　iit's　the　real　onei。　。　。　。　They　had　said　it　right　after　he　had　tried　to　Disarm　Stan。　。　。　。
〃We're　nearly　there；　Harry；　we've　nearly　made　it！〃　shouted　Hagrid。
Harry　felt　the　bike　drop　a　little；　though　the　lights　down　on　the　ground　still　seemed　remote　as　stars。
Then　the　scar　on　his　forehead　burned　like　fire：　as　a　Death　Eater　appeared　on　either　side　of　the　bike；　two　Killing　Curses　missed　Harry　by　millimeters；　cast　from　behind　…
And　then　Harry　saw　him。　Voldemort　was　flying　like　smoke　on　the　wind；　without　broomstick　or　thestral　to　hold　him；　his　snake…like　face　gleaming　out　of　the　blackness；　his　white　fingers　raising　his　wand　again　…
Hagrid　let　out　a　bellow　of　fear　and　steered　the　motorbike　into　a　vertical　dive。　Clinging　on　for　dear　life；　Harry　sent　Stunning　Spells　flying　at　random　into　the　whirling　night。　He　saw　a　body　fly　past　him　and　knew　he　had　hit　one　of　them；　but　then　he　heard　a　bang　and　saw　sparks　from　the　engine；　the　motorbike　spiraled　through　the　air；　completely　out　of　control　…
Green　jets　of　light　shot　past　them　again。　Harry　had　no　idea　which　way　was　up；　which　down：　His　scar　was　still　burning；　he　expected　to　die　at　any　second。　A　hooded　figure　on　a　broomstick　was　feet　from　him；　he　saw　it　raise　its　arm　…
〃NO！〃
With　a　shout　of　fury　Hagrid　launched　himself　off　the　bike　at　the　Death　Eater；　to　his　horror；　Harry　saw　both　Hagrid　and　the　Death　Eater；　falling　out　of　sight；　their　combined　weight　too　much　for　the　broomstick　…
Barely　gripping　the　plummeting　bike　with　his　knees；　Harry　heard　Voldemort　scream；　〃iMine！i〃
It　was　over：　He　could　not　see　or　hear　where　Voldemort　was；　he　glimpsed　another　Death　Eater　swooping　out　of　the　way　and　heard；　〃iAvada　…〃i
As　the　pain　from　Harry's　scar　forced　his　eyes　shut；　his　wand　acted　of　its　own　accord。　He　felt　it　drag　his　hand　around　like　some　great　magnet；　saw　a　spurt　of　golden　fire　through　his　half…closed　eyelids；　heard　a　crack　and　a　scream　of　fury。　The　remaining　Death　Eater　yelled；　Voldemort　screamed；　〃iNO！i〃　Somehow；　Harry　found　his　nose　an　inch　from　the　dragon…fire　button。　He　punched　it　with　his　wand…free　hand　and　the　bike　shot　more　flames　into　the　air；　hurtling　straight　toward　the　ground。
〃Hagrid！〃　Harry　called；　holding　on　to　the　bike　for　dear　life。　〃Hagrid　…　iAccio　Hagrid！i〃
The　motorbike　sped　up；　sucked　towards　the　earth。　Face　level　with　the　handlebars；　Harry　could　see　nothing　but　distant　lights　growing　nearer　and　nearer：　He　was　going　to　crash　and　there　was　nothing　he　could　do　about　it。　Behind　him　came　another　scream；　i〃Your　wand；　Selwyn；　give　me　your　wand！〃i
He　felt　Voldemort　before　he　saw　him。　Looking　sideways；　he　stared
