Suddenly the front doors exploded sending debris flying into the air and skidding across the marble floor. People began to scream and run as thick, inky smoke filled the room. Wizards and witches pointed their wands in the direction of the commotion, blindly firing stunning spells and casting Protegos. Draco barely heard the words above the low din of explosions and screaming, "AVADA KEDAVRA" as green light shot towards them. He had just enough time to pull his wand as he grabbed Astoria and they both tumbled to the ground.
