Earlier the evening before a group of deatheaters were waiting with the giants. There was a burst of fire and the death eaters found themselves bound up. Hagrid and Gawp approached the giants followed by Harry and Ginny.
Hagrid yelled out, "Why do you wish to attack the Burrow. The Weasley's have done you no harm.
The leader of the giants answered, "We do what we want. Wizards and Witched have abused us for too long and now is the time for revenge. We attack our enemies as the dark lord has promised."
Hagrid answered, "Do you not know that the you-know-who cares nothing for none but purebloods. Those same purebloods are the ones that hunt you and hurt you. They have controlled the ministry with the rules and restriction placed on you."
The leader answered, "You have nothing to offer since the ministry will not change. We will see what the dark lord can do."
Hagrid answered, "The ministry will change in time. The ministry has allowed me to once again have a wand." He held a new wand but still carries his pink umbrella. They offered me an apology for what they did to me. This has been about because of Harry Potter. He is an honorable wizard that you can trust. He has freed two elves already. He has the support of the goblins in this war. The Goblins will not support the ministry but they support Harry."
The leader waited for a moment but asked, "What does Harry offer?"
Harry answered, "I can offer freedom. I have already freed two elves that have been raised to the position of a human. I have an elf and a werewolf that sit as junior members on the circle of lords. I do not discriminate. Would you give the House of Potter and Black a chance to right the wrongs that have been done to you. We have a place to take you so that you can be safe and card for."
The leader replied, "Hagrid do I have you and your brothers word that this is true?"
Hagrid and his brother answered in the affirmative. The death eaters were turned over to the ministry and the Hagrid and his brother led the giants away to a safe place.
Some very surprised and stunned special force military men were being led by elves and ghosts towards what looked like a run down and abandoned castle. They were brought up against the hidden edge of the wards. They careful marked out the boundaries with small piles of explosives and rushed away a safe distance. A few minutes later the road of jets was overheard as concussion bombs were also dropped over the target. The air shock and then the ground as the explosives were detonated. As the smoke cleared a scared but intact castle appeared before them. The fidelous charm, anti muggle charms and any wards had been broken. The Special Forces in groups carefully approached the castle. They carefully went from room to room making a quick search for any enemy and prisoners. They killed the few death eaters that had been the place. As they made they way through the castle they came upon the prison and found ten groups of woman and children caged up. The hostages were released and quickly escorted away to safety. A little over an hour later the area had been evacuated and the roar of jets was heard again. This time large bombs included old fashion napalm bombs were dropped over the entire area. The castle walls collapsed in the explosions and the ruin was left burning brightly as the night began. The use of the napalm made sure that any remaining spells were burned away. Local muggles were told the next day that military exercises had been conducted.
Meanwhile over at the burrow…..
As people arrived for the wedding they were immediately and politely escorted and flooed over to Potter manner to wait out that nights events. Although there would be no wedding but a sumptuous meal was awaiting for them. As the sun was starting to set the tables and chairs that had been configured were turned back into the blocks of stone work. The party tent disappeared and what showed was a fortified command bunker. The yard had been turned into a war zone. What looked like muggle pillboxes sprang up complete with machine guns. The muggle government had provided plenty of weapons in hopes of ending what had been reported to the general public as terrorist attacks. More hidden pillboxes lined the driveway but were disillusioned for the time being. The driveway itself looked liked it had been recently graveled. That was only to cover up the many mortar rounds and mines placed into and the wires that snaked back to the command bunker.
Harry and Ginny felt the dementors as the approached over the forest the forest. He yelled, "Dementors approaching. Make sure to herd all of them away from the house before we attempt to destroy them."
The dementors approached from three directions floating over the trees into the yard of the burrow. They slowed when they did not see a wedding taking place. Before they could turn a series of Patronus spells shouted from all over the yard. They had been reports of a golden Patronus to stay away from and they found themselves confronted with what they thought would be their nightmare. They could only fall back as they were herded away from the burrow. They began to scream as they were gathered into one large group. They found themselves over the Quidich pitch and then what they hadn't seen in 500 years brought their worse fears before them. The golden Patronus dissipated and were now replaced by two Patronus knights. The medieval looking horse with rider welded a golden sword filled with a light that was the bane of a dementor. The knight began it attack slicing through the dementors. The screams and pains came from the dementors, as they knew they were finished. As the black cloaks were sliced green orbs of gas were given off as the souls that had been sucked were finally freed from their bondage. The dementors had no where to turn and found themselves dwindling until they were at last gone. The pitch was covered with the smoking remains of the cloaks.
As the sun had gone done the Werewolves had transformed with screams of pain and a blood thirst that Voldemort had filled them with. They thought they were sneaking through the forest but found themselves struggling through obstacles. They came across spot after another of quicksand. It seems the Weasley twins had come up a series of quicksand pits like the portable swamps they had used before. Their progress forward had come to a halt as they had climbed into the trees in an attempt to move forward. It was at that time the counter attack began. Before them Goblins game out from their hiding places with silver-coated swords. From above elves appeared in the trees with bows and silver-coated arrows. The werewolves tried to retreat but found more goblins behind along with a pair of dragons attacking any getting back to the river. Arrows were shot and swords were swung. The howl of the werewolves filled the forest as they were attacked.
When Voldemort approached the burrow they found no destruction. The saw an orderly group of people in defensive positions. They walked across the fresh gravel and came to a halt.
Harry and Ginny walked out and stood on the bunker. Harry spoke with the use of the SONOROUS charm, "Tom Morvolo Riddle, you and your forces are to surrender or be destroyed. Your dementors are gone. The giants have been taken to a safe place. It would seem that your werewolves are all but destroyed."
Voldemort saw neither sight of the dementors, giants nor any werewolves. He could hear the last of a few howls coming from the forest. He answered with a bit of fear in voice, "We will destroy both you and this place before tonight is over with. Nobody defies the Lord Voldemort."
Ten people in the front of the line started to turn a bluish tint in their face. As this began, a series of muggle looking paint balls flew forward and hit each person turning blue. The balls exploded and stunned them and then the material attached itself to them, they disappeared with a pop.
Harry continued, "Tom, do you have no honor. You use unwilling participants as your front line. Do not worry about them, they have been sent to a safe place. They shall be reunited with their families. Do you surrender and wish to fight."
Harry then called out, "ACCIO port keys."
Voldemort forces found their hidden port keys torn from their bodies and as they approached Harry he banished them. The only port key that remained was the one that Voldemort desperately held unto.
At that moment Voldemort and his forces felt a new series of wards rise. They now could not apparate away. There was no way to turn back.
Voldemort answered by saying, "Attack."
That command was answered as the ground exploded from under them. The death eaters were hurdled around. Some had raised shields that kept them from immediate death. Only Voldemort and his inner circle of Lucious, Bella and Wormtail in the back escaped the full force of the devastation but they were blown back. Those that tried to stand and recover found themselves crawling under a barrage of gunfire coming from the pillboxes. The death eaters that could shot spells into the pillboxes that soon exploded. As the guns were silenced those remaining began to battle forward as Aurorers, members of the order and Harry's friends joined the battle. Anytime an unforgivable was started a large chuck of stone appeared before the deatheater taking the spell and shattering causing injury to the death eater. The use of unforgiveables soon stopped.
In the after math of the explosion Bellatrix was the first to dive into the forest to the side of the Burrow. She made her way behind trees and the brushes staying low to the ground. After she had gone a ways she tried to look out to see were she was. She ducked down quickly as a series of spells came over her head. A voice that she hated them spoke.
Neville called out, "Come on out Bella. It is time for you to face your judgement." He fired off a few reductor curses at the ground, causing dirt to fly into the air.
Bella responded as calmly as possible, "Do you wish to join your parents in their madness."
Neville with a bit of joy in his voice said, "I do not need to join my parents. They send their wishes that you face your judgement. You see they were healed a week ago. If this war continues any longer they will be back in the front line fighting"
Bella found a large tree to hide behind and carefully stood. She said, "I do not believe your story. My lord will win this war and then I will happily to see you join your parents in their madness." She cast off a series of spells. She did not see as they were easily blocked.
Neville then said, If you will not surrender then face your destiny." He then shouted a loud Reductor with all the force he could muster. He put into all the pain he felt for the years his parents had suffered. The spell hit the tree and caused it to disburse into a nothing but spikes of wood. Those spikes tore into Bella as she was pushed back from the explosion. She felt her skin as it was pierced all over with the spikes of wood before she fell unconscious from the pain and then died.
On the other side as the explosion tore up the driveway, Lucious Malfoy pulled out his invisible cloak and headed in the opposite direction towards the house and yard. He kept himself hidden as much as possible as if had no cloak. As Harry and Ginny were heading back into the bunker he jumped out and grabbed Ginny. He let the cloak fall and put his wand into her back.
Lucious said, "It seems that you are not careful enough for your own good, Mr. Potter.
Harry spun around in fear as he heard one of the voices he feared the most.
Lucious continued. "You will drop your wand and surrender yourself or your precious lady will die before your eyes. I will deliver you personally to Voldemort. After today's events I will be his right hand man. You have slandered the Malfoy name and will pay for your actions."
Before Harry could say anything another cloak dropped and Draco Malfoy stood behind his dad. He said, "It is true dad that the Malfoy name has been dragged in the mud. Would you give me the pleasure of taking Ginny? I have a small need that needs to be filled and she will help me do it." He said this with the most Slytherin sneer he could use.
Lucious relaxed just a little and said, "I guess you have decided to come out of hiding to find a play thing. I will say you have kept are family from losing its entire place in the circle of lords. But for some reason I just do not fully trust you. How come they have not arrested you. What deal could you have given to earn you a reprieve." He poked his wand into Ginny's back but it had turned into a rubber chicken.
Draco said, "Well it is sort of like this. STUPIFY." As he shot a stunner towards his dad. His dad collapsed on the ground taking Ginny down with him. Draco approached and said, "I decided to attempt to restore some of the honor to the Draco name. To this end I am hoping my actions right now will be a small payment on that debt. He held out his hand to Ginny and helped her up. He then turned to Harry and said, "I hope that this will be one small step to restore my family's honor"
Ginny answered, "Thank you, Draco, hopefully your choice today will be the beginning of something good." Harry then tied up Lucious and then tagged him with a port key that took him to a waiting holding cell at the ministry.
Draco with Ginny and Harry then rejoined the battle as deatheaters fought to the last man. Voldemort was careful to stay in the back of the battle and made his way along the ward holding them in. He was looking for a week spot as Harry and Ginny approached. Voldemort turned back around and glared his red slit eyes.
He said, "Wormtail, if you want to be my right hand man kill these two people for me. They have been a bother and a nuisance."
Wormtail approached between Voldemort and where Harry and Ginny had stopped.
He said, "I see today that I have chosen the wrong side. What I though was the easy way has been nothing but pain and suffering. I betrayed my best friends that never harmed me. I have served a master that has taking my life rewarded me with nothing but pain. Today I make a new choice and attempt to repay a debt that needs to be paid."
Before he could turn and face Voldemort. He heard the shout of AVADA KEDAVA. A green flash of light traveled towards him and then he crumpled to the ground dead. Voldemort then turned his wand towards Harry and said the same thing as Harry shouted, "EXPELLIRAMOUS." The wands once again joined in an arch of light and the dome once again formed around Voldemort, Harry and Ginny. This time Harry with the love of Ginny in his heart easily pushed the pulse of light towards Voldemort and his wand erupted. The surprise was that that the ghost of Dumbledore was the first to come out. There followed eleven other figures including Cedric and his Parents.
His parents first came over and his Dad said, "I see you finally woken up and found yourself a nice lady. Be sure to live a long and happy life. I am very proud of the man you have become. Ginny, I wish to welcome you to the Potter family."
His mother then said, "Know that I always have loved you. It pleases that you have found your soul mate at such a young age and under such difficult circumstances. Be sure to live a full and happy life when this is finally over with." At this time the ghost images gathered together in a group between the parties.
Dumbledore then spoke for the group, "Voldemort, this is your first moment of judgement. Your victims have found you guilty of the most heinous of crimes against both humanity and other creatures. This is your last chance to turn from your evil ways. I told you before that there is something that is worse than death and I will tell you again for the last and final time. After today you will come to your end."
Voldemort could only stumbled backward in shock as the abject fear seized his mind. He stumbled back through the ward leaving behind the rest of his deatheaters. He desperately activated his port key away to his hideout. He arrived and found the entire site engulfed in flames. Once again he was left in shock. He was left with no forces and his supposed hidden fortress lay in ruins. The only place he could think was the forests on Albania and quickly made a port key and left the British Isles in defeat.
Back at the Burrow the battle was winding down. The last of the deatheaters had been subdued. Over three hundred had been killed in the fighting mainly from the explosions and gunfire. More than two hundred had been captured most with serious injuries. The live ones were immediately port keyed to holding cells. The casualties for the side of the light were not heavy. One goblin had been killed and six injured in battling the Werewolves. Three elves and been injured during the fighting. Eighteen people had been injured in the battle and there was one death. Mad Eye Moody had been got caught been two death eaters in the forest and tripped due to his bad leg. Even though the Burrow itself had escaped unharmed accept for a few scorch marks. The yard was a complete disaster and tale some time to fix. An owl arrived with a note that Voldemort's liar had been destroyed and that ten families had been rescued. The families were being taken to be reunited with their husbands and fathers. Harry had Dobby pop over to Potter Manor so the guest that had come for a wedding could be sent home.
