Harry did not know why the power contained in his left hand feared Dumbledore's wand rather than Dumbledore himself, but he could not spare much thought for that now.
Judging by the current situation, at least one thing was clear: Dumbledore also possessed the same kind of power, and he seemed to be gradually gaining the upper hand over Voldemort.
This was good news!
The Death Eaters could no longer stand by. Several of the more vicious ones, led by Bellatrix and Antonin, began trying to charge toward where Dumbledore and Voldemort were fighting to lend their master a hand.
However, the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic were no pushovers either.
In fact, when Dumbledore had seemed to be at a disadvantage just moments ago, Sirius and Lupin had also been preparing to go and help. Now that Dumbledore had regained control of the situation, they naturally no longer needed to help him directly.
Helping Dumbledore by holding off those Death Eaters was a good choice too, though.
The Death Eaters had already been outmatched by the time the Order of the Phoenix members arrived. The young wizards were stronger than they had expected, especially Harry, who could even surpass some of the Death Eaters in a one-on-one fight.
