    ... at the Three Broomsticks. Neville and Susan went off to meet Neville's parents, who had come to the village to see their son. They had to report for duty in the afternoon, but they would have the morning free. Harry and Ginny spent the morning wandering through the shops, before they made their way to the pub just before noon. A series of loud cracks interrupted them just before Harry opened the door, and acting on instinct, he immediately dove to one side, knocking Ginny down. A jet of green sailed over his head, missing him by inches. If he hadn't moved when he had, he would have been hit square in the chest. Harry and Ginny were immediately up and firing, turning to face the mass of figures robed in black with white masks. Death Eaters, Ginny said grimly. Harry nodded, noting in the back of his mind the way students and townspeople were scrambling to defend themselves, not expecting the attack.

He was unable to keep his position by the Three Broomsticks for long, and got pushed down the street as he defended himself and the younger students who were trying to find cover in the battle. Harry tried to direct any younger students to the nearest safe cover, to get them out of the line of fire, but everywhere he looked, spells were flying. His heart leapt into his throat when he saw a small body lying across one doorway, and several more bodies of varying ages in the streets. Harry was getting tired, but he knew he had to keep going.
