*Half an hour later*
"Welcome back dear audience. We are now at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, live streaming for Potterwatch. If you are still listening, to today's prolonged program, we thank you in advance for your devotion and patience.
"It is confirmed that Harry Potter has entered Hogwarts about half an hour ago, and that a group of students and Order Members have already arrived as well. We have found, not so surprisingly, Neville, Seamus, and many of the students claimed to be disappeared during the last two weeks. Harry is now outside of their meeting room with Luna Lovegood. His two friends also nowhere to be found. Our new source, Riser has just joined us. So, Riser, what do you think these folks are up to?"
"Well, it's hard to say. Harry said they're only here on a mission and will leave as soon as they are done. However, as Hogwarts is, along with the Ministry and Gringott's, one of the most dangerous places for him to be, I sincerely doubt his chances of getting out without being detected."
"Whoa Riser, not much hope, is there?"
"I mean, he'll probably be fine after all, but knowing Potter and Hogwarts this year, it is pretty much guaranteed that You-Know-Who will know of this intrusion sooner or later."
"And what about our plan for tonight then? Sitting here listening to Potterwatch?"
"Nah. As much as Harry insist on going alone, the entire DA and Order and even the school stood behind him, that is for sure. And should he be detected, we will do everything in our power to help him get away. That is our plan, at least for now."
"And the chances?"
"Unfortunately, I must say that if You-Know-Who's determined, we can only hold him off for a while, as we can never match him."
"That is better than nothing, I should say. And I see the door opens..."
**Background*
"Harry, what's happening?"
"Voldemort's on his way, they're barricading the school - Snape's run for it - What are you doing here? How did you know?"
"We sent messages to the rest of Dumbledore's Army. You couldn't expect everyone to miss the fun, Harry, and the DA let the Order of the Phoenix know, and it all kind of snowballed."
"What's first, Harry? What's going on?"
"They're evacuating the younger kids and everyone's meeting in the Great Hall to get organized. We're fighting."
Roars, people running around yelling with excitement.
*Background Ends**
"That was exciting. Now everyone's going into the Great Hall and hearing the evacuation instructions and battle plans I believe. This is getting exciting. Dear audience, I will leave the recording on this entire time while the Battle proceeds. However, as it is a Battle after all, I will not commentate at all times, and will only be able to do so in rare occasions from now on. You should be able to hear things though. We're at the Great Hall."
**Background*
"As much as you are tired and confused, we have little time and much to do, so I expect your undivided attention.
"It is believed that You-Know-Who has plans for this school after all this time, and that he is coming shortly. Luckily, we have been forewarned just in time to organise evacuation. There is a room on the seventh floor of the castle with a secret corridor that will eventually lead you to Hogsmead, and you will be able to apparate there. Evacuation will be overseen by Mr Filch and Madam Pomfrey. Prefects, when I give the word, you will organize your House and take your charges, in an orderly fashion, to the evacuation point."
"And what if we want to stay and fight?"
Applause
"If you are of age, you may stay."
"What about our things? Our trunks, our owls?"
"We have no time to collect possessions. The important thing is to get you out of here safely."
"Where's professor Snape?"
"He has, to use the common phrase, done a bunk."
Cheers, clapping, and applause
"We have already placed protection around the castle, but it is unlikely to hold off for very long unless we reinforce it. I must ask you, therefore, to move quickly and calmly, and do as your prefects-"
"I know that you are preparing to fight."
Screams, silence
"Your efforts are futile. You cannot fight me. I do not want to kill you. I have great respect for the teachers of Hogwarts. I do not want to spill magical blood."
More silence
"Give me Harry Potter, and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.
"You have until midnight."
Longer silence
"But he's there! Potter's there!"
Noises, benches moving
"Thank you, Miss Parkinson. You will leave the Hall first with Mr Filch. If the rest of your House could follow."
More grinding of benches, steps, chattering
"Ravenclaws, follow on!"
"Hufflepuffs!"
"Gryffindors!- Absolutely not, Creevey, go! And you, Peakes!"
"We've only got half an hour until midnight, so we need to act fast! A battle plan has been agreed between the teachers of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix. Professors Flitwick, Sprout and McGonagall are going to take groups of fighters up to the three highest towers - Ravenclaw, Astronomy, and Gryffindor - where they'll have a good overview, excellent positions from which to work spells. Meanwhile Remus, Arthur, and I will take groups into the grounds. We'll need somebody to organize defense of the entrances of the passageways into the school - "
"Sounds like a job for us."
"All right, leaders up here and we'll divide up the troops!"
More steps and chattering
"You mind taking passage number 1, 2 and 4? I'll go with the last three."
"Like a plan, bro!"
"Come on, people, let's devide into three groups. You, you, you and you, stay here. There's one behind this statue. It shouldn't be known by many, so I believe you can handle. Ernie, you have the coin. Tell us when you're in trouble. You're in charge now. Let's go."
People running around, calling out each other's names, chaos, screams, crying
"Now this one is supposed to be dysfunctional, so I think three of you could handle. Again, Katie, message if you're in trouble, all right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Let's go then. Big job waiting up there. Seventh floor, let's go!"
More running around, general chaos, window shattering, barks, bangs and booms, yelling, screaming.
