Lisa McCan
My name is Lisa Marie McCan and this is my story of the Final Battle.
I sat in a rocking chair holding my two month od baby girl, Champaine Nicole, or Bubbles as we called her. I heard the screams and saw the cruses being fired outside my house in Hogsmeade. My mother, Debra Warren, was n the kitchen making some fod for us. I wanted to go out and fight for the Order but my husband, Jason McCan, told me to stay with my mother and the precious baby that I held in my arms. I stood up and closed the curtains as some Death Eaters passed by. I didn't feel safe at all, even though I was a pure-blood. I laid my baby girl down in her crib in the living room. She looked back at me with her beautiful blue eyes. I took out my wand and cast a spell on the windows causing them to become unpenatrable. I looked back at Champaine.
"Everything is going to be fine," I told her. I grabbed my wand and made the lights in the room go out. I didn't want someone thinking that we were in here and try to kill me and my family. I walked into the kitchen.
"Mom, I am going to fight." I told her.
She turned around, she was wearing her blue witches robes. Her short grey har rested on her shoulders.
"No you will not, Lisa Marie." She snapped throwing down a small plate she was holding.
I ran my fingers over my sky blue silk dress, "I have to. I am in the Order. They are attacking that school that our ancestor helped create." I shouted.
"Well so be it. I am not going to lose my daughter for a school built by Rowena Ravenclaw. She should have never created that schol with the other. We can teach ourselves. That place has brought more trouble to our land than anything."
"Mother, Rowena was a smart woman and she knew that building a school for witches and wizards would benefit us and it does. I would have died years ago if it hadn't been for the good education in magic that I recieved from Hogwarts. That Dark Wizard would have killed me in an instant."
My mom looked away. I was shocked when she talked such about our family. She ahd loved our family, but Rowena Ravenclaw was the only one she didn't like as much, and I didn't know why.
"I am going to fight. You can watch after Champaine." I told her, "If someone attacks go into the basement and hide behind the secret door. It has a protective charm placed over it."
My mom stared at me, tears forming in her eyes.
"Bye, and if I don't come back then remember that I fought for a better world and tell that to my baby too. She will need to know that." I pulled a cloak over my, "I love you Mother."
I walked out the door and into the cold dark streets of Hogsmeade. I walked in the shadows as I saw the green flashes fly around the village. I then thought about my two cousins at the school. Chris and Ryan would be in trouble, they were half-bloods their father being a muggle. I knew that the Death Eaters wouldn't go easy on them. How was I suppose to find them and know that they were ok? I started to run toward the school now.
A huge man ran infront of me. He had many scars on his face and dark black eyes. I screamed as he lifted his wand and a green light raced for me desperate to take my life. I ducked really fast and sent a vright silver spell toward him that caused him to burn on the inside. He screamed in an agonizing voice. I ran past him. I was really close to the Hogwarts Gates. I ran into the Grounds and saw the many people that were fighting and dieing. I noticed that the giants had smashed some of the school that had belong to my ancestor. I was really angry now.
I waved my wand and more ofthe silver spells shot toward a group of Death Eaters. I heard the pain in their voices when they screamed. I was now very happy that I was a decendant of Rowena Ravenclaw and inheirited the cleverness from her. This was all my training at the school and my auror training was about to be used.
"Reducto." I shouted as a skinny brown haired Death Eater ran at me. He flew back and fell into a bush around the school.
I ran closer to the school and felt the cold and hopeless atmosphere. I lifted my wand and shouted, "Expecto Patronum," because I knew that dementors were here. A large silver leopard came from my wand. It walked beside me and I felt warm again. I then started to run into the school to fight the Death Eaters. I waved my wand and a curse flew out and hit a man in the eyes. His vision would now be gone. I watched as he ran around clutching his eyes. He eventually ran into a wall knocking himself out cold. I couldn't help but laugh. He stood up after a few seconds and I walked over to him and punched him in the face knocking him unconcious again.
"That's for hurting and killing so many people." I shouted.
I ran into the Great Hall. I saw the bodies of Lupin and Tonks, two of my closest friends. I had known Tonks from the Auror Department.
"Oh no. Tonks. Who killed her?" I asked as I ran into the Great Hall to her body. A man for the Order with blonde hair walked up and told me that Belatrix Lestrange had killed her. I stood up and walked out into the Grounds. I wanted revenge on Bellatrix, but I couldn't do it now. I had to go fight with the others, someone else would have to get Bellatrix.
I looked out into the Grounds and saw my cousins fighting another one of my other cousins. I felt ashamed that someone from my family had joined Voldemort but most from my family had joined him, The McBride's were pure-bloods and most thought like Voldemort.
"Thank goodness. They're ok." I said to myself.
After a few minutes of fighting peple started to gather around the half-giant Hagrid and a boy he was carrying, Harry Potter. Harry's body went missing a few minutes later and I knew he was alive and was going to kill Voldemort. I then cast many spells and curses at the many cloaked Death Eaters with masks, they all seemed worried now. Then I heard shouting from the castle and we had won. I ran up to my husband who was in the Entrance Hall now and hugged him with more force and love then I had ever hugged him before. After I had seen everyone and knew that some of the Order members were still alive I left for my house to tell my mother the good news and to live in peace with my family again.
