Warnings: Angst,AU/AR,Crossover,H/C,Language,M/M (slash in later chapters), OOC-ness only to the extent that it fits the movie and plot
Author's note--The titles of the movie scenes that corresponds with this chapter are "Surrounded" and "The Rolling Stones".
This was a hard scene to write, basically because there was so much happening all at one time in the movie. It's hard to describe what is going on without slowing the pace of the action, so I hope that it's okay for you. I know there is a lot of switching between what's happening with Tonks/Helga and Harry/Ron/Hermione. Sorry, but it's in the movie. (Actually, there's more of it in the movie)
And now we're coming down to...THE scene! Happy Reading!

The Labyrinth
Surrounded and Calling the Bludgers
Unaware of the panic his very presence was ensuing, Harry and company made their way up the path to the Manor. There were precious few Death Eater tents inside the gates, and suddenly Harry realized that the outer tents were for the majority of the Death Eaters, but these tents who had protection within the Manor’s own gates must belong to Voldemort’s most trusted!
“I think we’re going to make it!” He exclaimed excitedly.
“Oh, piece of cake,” Hermione answered nonchalantly, and they exchanged smiles.
“Charge! Charge! Charge!” Suddenly Death Eaters began pouring out of the Manor, wands drawn and hexes being fired. The foursome stopped, frozen in shock for a split second before all hell broke loose once again, this time more fearsome than before. Voldemort leaned out of his throne room window to observe, a grim expression on his face.
“Run! Quick, this way!” Harry dove and rolled in between two tents. Ron followed suit and Hermione ducked another way.
* * * * *
“Alright, CHARGE!” Tonks cried, brandishing her wand. Helga, meanwhile, terrified at staring down Death Eaters and having either not as much courage as Tonks or much more common sense, took off immediately, galloping faster than a badger had any right to move, with the Death Eaters in hot pursuit. Tonks was twisting in the saddle, trying to see behind her, yelling at Helga to stop and go back so that she could fight.
“Helga, turn about! No, not that way! You’re going the wrong way! The battle is behind us!”
* * * * *
Harry and Ron had made it through the first wave of black robed monsters and were working as a team to fend off their attackers without wands. Hermione did her best, using magic to defend them, but Harry knew that they were surrounded innumerably. They wouldn’t be able to run and dodge forever. The tents, though protected by magical means, were quickly being ripped to shreds by curses, hexes, and jinxes that missed their intended targets, and the trio was running out of options.
* * * * *
“Helga, can we please talk about this? Sit! Helga, if you don’t turn around this second, I will never feed you again!” Her threat of ceasing to feed her beloved badger worked because Helga slid to a sudden stop and turned. Helga trembled visibly as black-robed Death Eaters gathered, wands drawn, though no one was casting anything just yet.
“That’s better,” Tonks said soothingly. “Don’t worry, Helga. I think we’ve got them surrounded.” There was a chuckle from the group.
* * * * *
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were doing a pretty good job of sticking together and making their way slowly towards the Manor. Harry glanced around, seeing only black robes and both black and white tent material.
“Tonks! Where is Tonks?” He cried. Hermione and Ron paused as well, looking around frantically and shrugging. They all dove flat as a couple of hexes sizzled past where they were just standing. They turned back towards the Death Eaters’ tents that were still standing. “We’ve got to find Tonks! Come on, this way!”
* * * * *
Tonks was looking at each of the Death Eaters in turn, daring them to cast something. One of them stepped forward, removing their mask. Fenrir Greyback smiled ferally, and Tonks’ eyes narrowed. That was one werewolf she recognized and didn’t like. She leveled her wand at him, and he responded by scraping the soles of his feet along the ground, running his tongue along his sharp teeth. She began to growl, and it culminated in a heartfelt “CHARGE!” and Helga did. Greyback lunged, and Tonks hit him with a Stunner, taking him down with ease. Helga neatly dodged his falling body and kept running, away from the circle.
“Ha, ha, ha! Wotcher! Tally-ho!” She cried jubilantly over her shoulder, which, unfortunately, resulted in Helga dodging a little bit too closely in between the flaps of a tent and the tent wire that held it up. Tonks flipped off backwards, landing in a heap.
As the purple haired girl picked herself up, Helga backed up against a tent and disappeared inside. Tonks stood at the doorway, hands on her hips, not noticing that she was slowly being surrounded by Death Eaters.
“Helga, you coward!” She dusted herself off, glaring in the direction of her beloved but self-preserving badger.
* * * * *
Harry weaved expertly through the tents, leading the group and avoiding the Death Eaters when possible. They came face to face with Bellatrix and Rodolphus LeStrange, who ripped their masks off with cackling fury. Harry halted and abruptly dove into one of the tents. Hermione just barely managed to deflect the Crucio with her wand and pushed Ron in behind Harry before climbing in herself, guarding the entrance. It wasn’t much of a defense, but at least the magical aura of the tent provided some kind of shield protection.
“You in there! You’re surrounded!”
Harry’s eyes widened, and his breath stopped short. He recognized Lucius Malfoy’s voice, and he quietly began to panic. With Lucius, Rodolphus, AND Bellatrix outside, there was no way they could make it out. He was beginning to feel the despair of losing when he had a flash of inspiration.
“Ron! Call the Bludgers!” He hissed, hoping that the Death Eaters didn’t hear them. Ron nodded and threw back his head and howled. Hermione fired a couple of retaliatory hexes out of the tent doors.
Slowly two Beaters’ bats rolled towards them, and they heard the whoosh of wind that signaled when a Bludger was nearby. Hermione recognized their plan and cast one last quick protection spell on the front of the tent before moving back to let them out. Ron and Harry each grabbed a bat, exchanged grins, and burst out of the tent, back into the fray with war whoops.
The air was suddenly rent with the crack of the bats, usually followed by a thump or a thud, and then screaming, as Harry and Ron ran back and forth, hitting Bludgers to one another, laughing as the jet-black iron balls took out the Death Eaters. Hermione giggled like mad, avoiding the Bludgers as they flew about overhead, still hexing Death Eaters left and right, even though she could feel the magical drain begin.
Harry took great satisfaction to see that Lucius took a Bludger to the chest and was down. He didn’t have time to check whether the man was dead or alive, but Ron’s Bludger hit Rodolphus in the head. There was no way he survived that blow; Ron and Harry stopped laughing when their equipment killed. It was only funny if it just knocked them unconscious, even though the more evil of the Death Eaters did deserve to die. Bellatrix flew at them, screaming, and Harry did the only thing he could do. He closed his eyes and swung the bat with all his might, connecting solidly with the side of her head. He heard the final snapping and crunching of bones, and he could practically feel it through the bat as her head exploded like a melon.
* * * * *
“Helga, open this tent!” Tonks tried to pull the flap back, finding that it wouldn’t budge. “Will you come out here! Come here right now! Please come? Helga, you’re embarrassing me!”
Tonks finally gave up on calling for Helga. She turned around to find a semi-circle of Death Eaters with their wands pointed at her. She smiled, holding up her own wand as she looked around the circle.
“So, had enough, have you?” She said confidently. “Alright then. Throw down your wands, and I’ll see that you’re treated fairly!” Her bold statement was met with snickers, and her face grew angry. Before anyone could cast anything, a Bludger smashed through all of them, felling the entire group without touching Tonks before it zoomed away again. She stood, hands on her hips, and looked down smugly at the unconscious Death Eaters at her feet, nodding in satisfaction.
“Next time, surrender,” she advised the group. Helga finally ventured out of her hiding place, and Tonks jumped onto her back. Voldemort’s face was growing less and less pleased the longer he watched—and he hadn’t been all that thrilled to begin with. Ron and Harry were still batting the Bludgers back and forth; Harry had to duck once or twice to keep from being hit with his own Bludger.
“Whoa, Nelly!” He cried. In the back of his mind, he was wondering what the hell had just come out of his mouth, but he was too busy winding his way through the Death Eaters and keeping track of the iron balls to really berate himself. Rabastan, Goyle Senior, and Crabbe Senior seemingly popped out of nowhere, standing in front of them in a line, blocking the path.
“Ha ha! Now we have you!” Rodolphus’ brother crowed triumphantly, unaware that his brother and sister-in-law were dead. Harry stopped short and Hermione bumped into him. Ron sidestepped and cracked a Bludger. It flew at them, knocking them all over from the side.
“And now you don’t!” Hermione said cheekily to the unconscious Death Eaters as they continued their trek.
* * * * *
The fighting was thinning out, and the Golden Trio made their way to the Manor’s front doors. Tonks and Helga came galloping up, Tonks cheering madly, and Ron pushed open the doors, and they burst into the castle. They ran up a flight of stairs from the entryway to the throne room, now deserted. Harry saw the thirteen hour clock on the wall, and he was alarmed at how little time he had left. He was so close; he couldn’t fail now! There was only one other staircase in the room, leading up and out of sight.
“Oh no! That’s the only way he could have gone!” Harry said, pointing.
“Well, then, come on!” Hermione said, motioning. Harry grabbed her arm, preventing her from going in hot pursuit.
“No, no! I have to face him alone,” he said, watching her face morph from confusion to heartbreak.
“But why?” Tonks queried softly. Her purple spikes drooped and brown began to show.
“That’s the way it is done,” he told them, looking from one crushed face to the next.
“Well,” Tonks said, looking around at the group and then back at Harry. “If that is the way it is done, then that is the way you must do it. But should you need us?”
“Yeah,” Ron said, looking too upset to be able to speak.
“Should you need us…” Hermione echoed.
“I’ll call,” Harry said, trying to fight back the sob that rose in his throat. “Thank you, all of you.” He hugged each one of his friends fiercely in turn, wiped his eyes, and took off in the direction that Voldemort went.
As soon as Harry turned the corner, Hermione burst into tears. Ron put his arm around her and guided her head to his chest. He leaned his cheek on her head, his own tears sliding silently down to mingle in the strands of her hair. Nymphadora Tonks’ hair changed to a mousy brown as she drew her face into a frown, trying not to cry, and she put her hand on Helga’s head for comfort. The badger nuzzled her, and Tonks dropped to her knees, leaning against her constant companion, and they stared at the spot where Harry disappeared, praying that he would win.

Author's note--Woo, battle scene done! How was it? I thought it mighty appropriate for Tonksy to face off with Fenrir, considering Remus and all...and she took him down and out!
Now, I know that in the movie, the rocks are knocking the goblins over but since it's a children's movie, they don't actually DIE or anything. However...Bella just HAD it coming. Rodolphus too. I decided to take some creative license with that, just because. Well, actually, there is a purpose, but I cannot reveal it at this time.
thrnbrooke--Thank you! Now that I'm home, I have access to my "Labyrinth" movie on VHS! haha I think the youtube one is better quality, sadly. *sigh* Oh well.
WeasleyWench--*barf* Oh, wait, I'm sorry...I thought that I just read the words "Snape" and "sexy" in the same sentence. haha LMAO Actually, THIS will make you want to barf http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/sexy.swf
Don't watch it...seriously...I can't believe I'm even passing this link on. Everyone will stop reading my stories, and I will now get banned from AFF for giving you (all of you) that link. I'm sorry. I truly am. God, I must be the world's WORST masochist! I'm not enjoying this! I'm not! (It's like watching a train wreck; it's awful and you know you shouldn't watch, but you just can't look away. I'm not enjoying this, though)
The first part of this chapter is in the ninth segment of the movie on youtube. Here's the link (again) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4uqTD407mM
