XXX
A few months later the Battle of Hogwarts was beginning. One of the other Gryffindor's a friend of Hermione's devised a plan that if she was killed her soul would split and everyone that Voldemort had killed would come back to life. A risky spell but she was set on it. Hermione agreed to help her with it and went straight to the Great Hall after arriving to fight the war.
Hermione, Fred and Alison (The girl that was performing the spell) Sat in a circle and started the spell. It was not a normal spell that Hogwarts students would do it was a black arts spell. One that took great dark magic to perform.
In front of the student body, auroras and the Order of the Phoenix they began. Ready for action the order stood by wands ready. Fortunately they didn't need them.
During the spell Hermione saw glimpses of Willow and herself together. Laughing, dancing and having fun then at the end of the spell shot a horrible picture. Willow with black hair, black clothing and veiny skin. Hermione screamed and fell to the floor. Unfortunately the scream was not from the vision of Willow but from her being hit by what looked like blue electricity.
"You think I don't care?" The person yelled as she stormed in hair as black as possible, black clothes and veiny pale white skin.
"Wh? Uh," Hermione said as Fred and George helped her sit up. "Willow?" She asked when she saw the woman on the opposite of the room.
"You think I don't care, that I didn't love you," She said as she brought her right hand out from behind her back to reveal a levitation spell and a body flowing around her. "Here's the proof, I love you," She said looking to Hermione how broke down in tears…again.
"Hermione do you know her?" Ron asked
"Yeah, I do," Hermione said in a weak voice, still crying.
"Who is she?" Harry asked and Willow smiled.
"She never told you?" She asked as her eyes went pitch black and her voice got deep. "I'm her girlfriend," She said as she started shooting spells at Hermione and the Auoras blocked them as much as they can.
"STOP!!!" Hermione yelled and everyone looked to her.
"Hermione you have to get out of here," Tonks said and Hermione shook her head.
"I can't, I started this and I have to finish it," Hermione said and looked to Willow.
"Hermione what are you thinking of doing?" Harry asked and she shrugged and pulled out her wand.
"I don't know but I have to do something," She said as she and Willow started casting spells at each other. When Hermione was disarmed and nearly unconscious when something hit Willow.
"Uh oh , Daddy's home, I'm in wicked trouble now," Willow said as Giles walked in, cast a spell at her to keep her down and then looked at Hermione and smiled. Him and Willow started dueling and after a few minutes Giles had had enough and Willow took his magic. Fell to the floor, got up and walked over to Giles.
Come on you think that a little extra magic is gonna stop me," She said and smiled. She shot another spell at Hermione who was now standing up with the help of Harry and Ron. Then something happened to Willow when Hermione's body was shot out of the boys arms and into a broken chair. The leg of the chair went right through her stomach and Willow ran over to her now lifeless body. Her hair turning red again and her skin going back to normal.
"Stay away from her," Harry yelled and Willow started to cry.
"Please, Please I am so sorry," Willow cried and behind her Giles stood up and walked over to her.
"Don't worry she won't hurt her anymore, she can't," He said as Harry and Ron stepped aside and Willow brushed the hair out of Hermione's face.
"Baby, I am so sorry, please, please, don't die. I need to baby, please," She cried as she held Hermione's one hand and put her other hand on the side of Hermione's face.
"Wait a second, she's not completely dead, she's still here," Alison said and everyone looked at her.
"What?" Willow asked
"Yeah, her spirit it is still here, next to you,"
"Okay, you are going all exorcist on us it is kinda creepy," Fred said and she smiled.
"No you idiot, it's the spell," She said as he smiled and kissed her forehead and turned back to Hermione.
"How do we get the spirit back in the body and the wound closed?" Harry asked.
"I can fix the wounds with a few spells and some help, Giles. Then I just need help with the rejoining," Willow said
"I can fix that, If the spell works then I can bring her back," Alison said and everyone looked back to her.
"I thought the spell was only or the people you-know-who and his followers killed?" Ginny said
"No, any recent Dark Magic, from when you-know-who started to right now," She said
"Oh,"
"Good then lets get to work," Willow said and Giles nodded then she stopped. "something's here," She said and everyone jumped up and went to where they had to. Professor McGonagall got rid of the tables and rushed every under aged witch and wizard out of the building. Willow and Giles stayed with Hermione but before everyone left Lupin, Tonks, Harry and Ron stayed behind.
"She will be safe won't she?" Tonks asked and Giles nodded.
"I'll look after her, she is like a daughter to me, I won't let anything happen to her again," He said and they all smiled.
"Be careful and this is a gift from all of us," Lupin said and Tonks placed her hand in front of his ceast and transferred a bit of magic to Giles. "This is so you can help Hermione," He said and they all departed leaving Giles and Willow alone with Hermione's dead body.
"Let's get started," Willow said to Giles who nodded as they got ready to perform the spell to heal the wounds on Hermione's dead body and hope that she would be brought back to life.
