Hard Times call for Dark Knights
In Potters 7th year Voldemort had finaly decided to attack Hogwarts. From the beginning of that year they had known this was to be the final battle. They knew this because Trelawney had prophesized it to Dumbledore. After months of preparation the attack had still been shockingly fierce. The deatheaters unmerciful. Severus Snape was discretely trying to make his way to the great hall, where Harry Potter and his friends were battling Voldemort. Severus as a spy had found out that the attack was planned for the day of Potters graduation. Dumbledore quickly let the staff know and taught the students in defence.The ceremony had gone by without incident until everyone started to make their way inside (the graduation had taken place outside) thats when the deatheaters and voldemort apparated in front of them. First yearsthroughthird ran inside to the protection that had been set up for them in the hospital wing and the rest of the students were ready to fight.
The students had been trained well, he could see that now as curses where thrown and more deatheaters fell. Severus was relieved although he didnt show it, 'hmm those dunderheads seem to be adequate in defence'. He made his way inside, deflecting some curses that bounced his way. He saw the bodies of students on the floor. So many fatalities already, he sighed. What can u expect in a war? He blocked his thoughts and feelings and kept his goal in the front of his mind.'Get to Potter and Dumbledore, protect Harry long enough for him to kill Voldemort'. The deatheaters continued throwing curses never looking twice at Severus. They were obviously not aware of his true loyalty yet and Snape had that to his advantage. He could now see them a few feet away, Voldemort and Dumbledore dueling. Severus worked his way closer to where Potter and his friends were. Harry was currently in a shield bubble. 'Granger's idea I presume'. Granger and Weasley were outside the bubble fighting off any deatheaters that came close. Severus stepped forward and stood in front of them facing Voldemort who was still battling Dumbledore.
'this plan had better work' he thought to himself.
"Voldemort" he said high enough for him to hear over the curses. His role was at an end, his plan was to distract him until Dumbledore got Potter prepared. "I've been waiting years for the honor to see you defeated".
"Ah Severus, I'm sorry to say dear boy you wont get your wish. I cannot be destroyed you would have been better off to stay loyal to me, now you and the rest of those foolish enough to oppose me will die a most excrutiating death I assure you"
"Always with the dramatics aren't you Tom?" Harry said from behind Voldemort causing him to turn in his direction and forget all about Severus. Now their fate was all up to Potter. 'Merlin help you Potter if you let us down'. He made his way over to Ron and Hermione who were dodging hexes. They ducked from a particularly nasty one just in time.
"Hermione come on you've done your share go to Madam Pompfrey now!" Ron yelled at her while ducking another curse.
"I'm not leaving you and harry here!" she yelled back.
"Hermione please!"just then Bellatrix Lestrange lunged out of no where and threw a green curse, it hit Ron straight in the chest.
"Ron!" Hermione screamed. She tried to get to him but Severus had finaly made it to them and held her back. "LET ME GO RON'S HURT I NEED TO HELP HIM!"
"THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO HERMIONE HE'S ALREADY GONE". He knew that was the killing curse and had already seen his eyes they were frozen in shock and staring blankly. He saw Bellatrix laughing getting ready to throw another curse. Hermione was sobbing in his arms he couldn't shout Protego fast enough. He tried to block Hermione from it but it was too late he heard her whisper "Ron". Just before the curse hit her.
