The war began six months into her seventh year, the children stayed at Hogwarts because it was deemed safe by the ministry. Twenty-eight days later it was the worse possible place. Voldemort managed to convince the giants to be on his side, along with the dementors and was currently making his way across the lake. There was no where to go, no where to hide and everyone already knew they would die. In an act of desperation Dumbledore sent an owl to the ministry telling of the attack, knowing it wouldn't get there in time.
The enemy arrived in minutes, breaking every protection spell around the grounds of Hogwarts were making their way toward the castle. The front doors were blocked with various items and spells. Sparing them a few presious minutes to get ready for what was to come.
All the students were gathered in the Great Hall waiting for the end to come. The old motto safety in numbers was turning out to be more like comfort in knowing you won't die alone. Many confessions were made in the little time they had. Draco was over heard saying he had spied for the dark lord. Ginny finally told Harry she was in love with him. Ron and Hermione, who had been together for almost two years, got into a fight about something and proceeded to tell each other they were in love with other people. Ron with Lavender and Hermione with Harry.
When Hermione finally had enough of the sobbing, yelling, and whining she jumped onto one of the dining tables, and said with a paled face and emotionless voice, "We're all going to die in here you idiots!" This seemed to just cause more yelling and sobbing. She continued, unfazed by their reactions, "We will die either as children, or as witches and wizards." There was a long pause, with a quiet voice she finished, "I will die a witch."
With everything that needed saying, said she jumped off the table and turned, walking away from innocence toward the exit. Ron and Harry looked at each other, then glanced around at everyone else. With heads held high they quickly ran to catch up with her, the dream team was together again. With their wands held before them and eyes dangerously lit they joined the battle that was about to begin outside the room.
The teachers stood in a line, wands pointed at the main entrance, heads high. Hermione joined between Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall, not saying a word. Harry and Ron soon found places and the teens copied their teacher's positions. The door was beginning to give way.
Soon the rest of the students joined them in the last stand, all trying to crowd their way into the line of battle. The door finally snapped open and hundreds of death eaters and dementors were pushing their way in while the giants found other ways to brake the glorious castle. The teachers silently cried for these children, but said nothing. Giving up seemed the wisest thing, but there was still too much to fight for. Years seemed to have passed within the next few hours, spells were lighting the place beyond belief and screams were chasing their ways in everyone's head.
Most of the students fell within the first hour, but they fell heros.
Harry confronted Voldemort near the end of the second hour. All stopped and watched as the two dueled, fear plastered on everyone's face. It ended with a blinding stream of light and echoing screams, when the light faded a new scream was heard. Harry's body was sprawled on the floor. Five feet away was Voldemort's carcass.
Aurors suddenly rushed through doors capturing the remaining death eaters. The war was over. The ministry had recieved the owl Dumbledore sent 30 minutes earlier, but since no one could apparagate into Hogwarts they had to find other ways to get there.
Three teachers and a mere 15 students survived the battle. Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore were the surviving teachers. Among the students there was one 7th year Slytherin, Draco Malfoy, two 7th year Gryffindors, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly, two sixth year Hufflepuffs, five seventh year Ravenclaws, three fifth year Slytherins, and two sixth year Gryffindors.
