This story beings right before a great battle is about to take place. This fight wasn't between the usual good vs. evil groups, but against some thing more terrible, so terrible that it could only be described as a force that had to be brought down. People who were most commonly labelled as evil and mean were working along side those who were called good and heroic. The battle is so large and so vial to the fate of the wizarding world, that all wizards, young and old were to fight, or so it seemed.

Many of the senior classes and teachers had decided to fight against this force, and this wishes were being blessed by Dumbledore, who only asked to have the final say on who could go. The war outside had been raging for some while now, so all were egger to do their best and play their part in this great battle, and when this apposing force stated moving towards Hogwarts all began to prepare for it.

"I want to come. I want to fight!"

Taking a deep sigh Severus Snape looked down at the pouting and angry Meg. She had been following him around his room for the past 20 minutes as he tried to get ready, complaining about how it was so unfair that she wasn't being allowed to join the school in the fight. "You're not coming."

"But everyone is! Even Pansy and Potter are going, and they can't even get themselves out of a wet paper bag! This isn't fair! What did you tell Dumbledore to not let him let me go?"

"I didn't say anything to Dumbledore, though I'm sure he knows my position on you leaving the castle right now. Its not safe out there and I don't want you hurt or worse."

"Same to you!

"How can I put this gently…you're not the best at D.A. Your not the best at Potions, Herbalogy or Charms for that matter. You do well in the academic side of the class, but you rush through the practical side. You don't always have the best patience or concentration, and you can get very emotional when angry. Maybe if you calmed down and took your time…" He said rubbing the spot of his head where Meg had only hit him with a frozen fish she had conjured when he told her that he was leaving to fight.

"I'm passing D.A. and the other classes, isn't that good enough?"

"You're passing DA because one of your best friends is assisting the class and the other is dating the teacher."

"So? I'm passing!"

"That's not the point! The point is that you don't have the skills to defend yourself, let alone attack someone." This is when Snape noticed that look in Meg eyes which always led to pain.

"Severus darling," she said spitting out the words like curses. "I will be coming with you, kira, James and anyone else who decides to fight, and nothing you or Dumbledore says or does will stop me!"

As he started to back away slowly, he muttered softly, "He's made it so you can't leave the building…"

"What?" her statement first came out in disbelief and then quickly turning to despair as she flopped down on his bed on the verge of tears. "Its not fair. Its just not!"

"He's just doing it because he cares about you. We all do very much." Severus said down on the bed beside Meg trying to comfort her before she started crying. He hated it when she cried.

"Its not that, its just that everyone seems to be good at some thing. James is the best fighter I have ever seen, she fights with her whole soul. Kira has the best graph of spells in the world, I swear sometimes she just invents them on the spot. And you my dear, you are simply the best at what ever you do. But what about me? What am I good at?"

Smiling he said simply, "You are better than us all."
