Chapter one: The Beginning of The End

Fred and Percy had just backed into view, both of them dueling masked and hooded men.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione ran forward to help: Jets of light flew in every direction the man dueling Percy backed off fast: then his hood slipped and they saw a high forehead and a streak of hair-

"Hello, Minister!" bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thickness, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort "Did I mention I'm resigning?"

"You're joking, Perce!" shouted Fred as the death eater he was battling collapsed under the weight of three different stunning spells. Thickness had fallen to the ground with tiny spikes erupting all over him; he seemed to be turning in too some form of sea urchin. Fred looked at Percy with glee.

You actually are joking, Percy. . . . . I don't think I've heard . . . . . I don't think I've heard you joke since you were-" the air exploded

Harry awoke, screaming, tears rolling down his face. His heart felt like it had been ripped from his chest as he remembered memory of Fred's last moments.

All the yelling had awoke Ron. "Are you alright?" he asked, his red hair sticking up all over his head, dark bags under his eyes from lack of sleep.

"Bad dream that's all," Harry said, climbing out of bed. "I'm going to go for a walk and clear my head." He grabbed his robe and left before Ron could object and began to wander aimlessly through the hall. He could not help but think of all the people who had died at the Battle of Hogwarts. He thought of Tonks and Remus and how they would never know their son, and of Colin who was too young to be there but snuck back to help, he would not just sit by and let it happen, he was going to help weather wanted or not. About Fred who never got to have a wife or children; something he had always wanted.

He was about to head back when he saw Filch cleaning some pieces of a broken wall, tears rolling down his face silent sobs escaped him. Harry held out is wand and gave it a swish and mumbled the spell under his breath. The pieces flew to their places and Filch jumped and spun around to see who was behind him.

When he saw Harry he looked shocked, "Thank you Mr. Potter," he stuttered (not like a Quirell stutter, no, that was just creepy). Looking tired and upset, he turned to walk away.

"Mr. Filch, you can call me Harry, you know that, right?" he said, running his hand through his unruly black hair which was in need of a cut.

"Thank you Mr.-Harry," he said, turning back to him and saying, "you are the only one since your mother to offer. Lily was such a sweet girl, the only student I ever liked. You have her eyes." The old caretaker turned to walk away, but Harry could not help but see the sparkling tears rolling down his face.

"Mr. Filch, if you don't mind telling me what's wrong...?" Harry asked, looking at the old caretaker.

"It's... It's Mrs. Norris... she...she jumped in front of the killing curse to... to save me," he said, breaking into tears. He nearly fell over in his sobs but Harry caught him.

"Come with me," Harry said, leading Filch into the Great Hall and up to Professor McGonagall, who was seated at the teachers table and was looking over some paperwork. She heard the clomping of their shoes on the steps, and looked up. When she looked upon Filch her eyes filled with concern. "Professor, it's Mrs. Norris, she was killed protecting Filch," Harry informed, feeling the pain in the old caretaker's sobs. "I'm so sorry Argus," McGonagall said, taking the caretaker into a hug. When she released him, he had calmed somewhat.

"I'll get back to my duties Professor," Filch said, clomping down the steps.

"Excuse me... er... Professor, would you like me to find the DA and Order to help repair the castle?" Harry asked. He could see how tired Filch was, and decided to help fix the castle, and he knew others would also. Plus it would take way less time. "So Filch can get some sleep."

"Yes, please Harry would you," McGonagall said, sounding relieved that there was one less thing to worry about, as she walked Filch over to Madame Pomfrey, asking her to get a calming draught. She turned toward Harry and commanded, "But, I want you checked to be over by Poppy first." Then turned and walked back up to the teachers table to finish the paperwork she was filling out.

He waited for Madame Pomfrey.

She scanned him with her wand several times and took down some quick notes and compared them to previous ones. "You seem healthy enough, could use some food and sleep. I see no reason you need help but, if anything feels wrong come straight to me," looking at him for a second, then left to check on the people injured in the battle.

Harry got up and went to search for others to help him. He ran in to Mrs. and Mr. Weasley. "Hey," he said walking over to them. Mrs. Weasley turned on the spot. You could instantly see that she had been crying. She pulled Harry into one of her bone crushing hugs. "Oh Harry, dear, I am so glad you are okay."

"I'm sorry about Fred; he was like my big brother," he stated, tears threatening to leave his eyes once again. He blamed himself for every ones deaths. Mr. Weasley put his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"What do you need son," Mr. Weasley asked, clearly needing a distraction

"I'll tell everyone at once to meet me in the Entrance Hall in 20 minutes... oh, and if you see any Order members ask them to come with you," he said, rushing in to his dorm. He woke Ron, Neville, Seamus, and Dean and told them where to meet him. He quickly pulled on a pair of old jeans and a green shirt before pulling out the Marauders Map. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," he said, pointing his wand at the parchment. He quickly searched the map for Ginny and saw she was with Hermione in the girl's dorms. He made his way over to the girl's stairs "GINNY! HERMIONIE!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. "Sonorus!" he said, putting his wand to his throat and yelled again. This time they came down.

"What," Hermione asked, looking annoyed as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Can you find some of the DA and meet me in the Entrance Hall," he instructed, choosing to ignore the glare being sent his way.

"Fine," she mumbled and walked up the stairs.

"Ginny, can we talk?" he asked, a little nervous.

"I guess," she said, looking at him and waiting for him to say something.

"Let's talk while we walk to the Entrance Hall," he said, holding open the portrait of the fat lady. She stepped in, Harry right behind her. "Ginny..." he started.

"Shut up you twit," she said, pulling him to her in a heated kiss. "I love you," she said after pulling away.

"I love you too," he responded, leaning his forehead against hers. "Well now, I guess that whole speech I have written won't be used," he said, letting out a low deep chuckle.
