Harry and Alex froze and grabbed on to each others hand under the cloak. Although it wouldn't make them any safer, it did make them feel slightly safer.

As Amycus moved to his sisters side, Harry and Alex could see just who it was that had been forced to help Amycus open the door.

With her trademark annoyed look on her face, stood Minerva McGonagall, her grey hair in its signature bun. Her eyes scanned the room and Alex could have sworn that her eyes stopped on where her and Harry were hiding under the cloak a few times.

As Amycus started yelling at all of the students, McGonagall stepped in.

"I hardly doubt students of this age could be able to do that to anyone, even if it is someone to your sisters ability level." Amycus was too stupid to realise she was insulting his sister, but he did catch on the fact that McGonagall didn't really care.

He started screaming in her face. Harry and Alec didn't dare to move but the second Amycus spat in her face, they had to do something.

They threw the cloak of their bodies and at the same time shot a stunning spell at Amycus, causing him to also crash into his sisters body.

McGonagall turned to face them, the pupils had already gone up stairs so they had missed Harry and Alex again.

"You have got to be joking! Are you trying to die?" They explained to her that they had stuff to do, but when footsteps approached, they slung the cloak back on.

Flit wick appeared at the common room door and stared at the scene. He chuckled to himself before turning serious.

"Minerva, all students are to gather in the hall, Snape has heard that Potter and Russo are here apparently." McGonagall nodded before glaring in the directions of the invisible couple and heading to get her Gryffindors. Flit wick walked upstairs to get his Ravenclaws while Alex and Harry walked over to where two spare robes where sitting. They picked them up, transfigured them into Gryffindor robes and hurried down to where the Gryffindor house was all merging together and into one marching group. Harry and Alex took of the cloak and slipped in unnoticed.

Once they all got to the hall, Snape stood at the front of the hall, with an unreadable expression on his face.

"It has come to my attention that Alex Russo and Harry Potter have been sighted in Hogsmeade." Everyone started to whisper before Snape started to talk again.

"If anyone here has any information on this topic, I demand them to step forward." Alex let go of Harry's hand and they both walked out and into the middle of the hall form the herd of students. Gasps echoed around the room as they both flung the cloaks to the side.

"I think you need a bit better security headmaster." Alex spat venom filling her voice. Harry started yelling at Snape before he drew his wand on the two teenagers. Before Harry could reflect the curse sent at him, Alex pulled out her American wand, thought up a spell and sent it at Severus.

Severus' spell collided with Alex's and they both struggled to keep in control of the connection. Everyone was confused but Snape soon broke the connection and disaperated.

Voldemort's voice rang out.

"I do not seek Harry Potter or any of his friends. I only seek the famous Alex Russo. Hand her over or we will attack. You have until Midnight."

Everyone froze. No one wanted to hand Alex over. Not even Pansy.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly disappeared as the battle started but Alex and Draco fought.

Their extensive knowledge in the death eater battle range helped them but not by much.

They worked together and managed to stay alive. Of course, they got cuts and bruises but they didn't get it too bad.

Alex and Draco knocked another Death Eater out before turning around to see what was happening.

Alex turned around just in time to see Fred's lifeless body slump to the ground. Everything seemed to blur out at that moment as she cast spells at anyone who tried to stop her from running to him.

Just as she got there, Voldemort started talking about withdrawing his Death Eaters.

"Alex Russo. I now speak only to you. You have let many due for you, meet me in the forest by midnight or more will be killed."

Alex didn't pay much attention. He could only focus on the dead boy beside her. Draco ran over straight after the announcement and tried to comfort her. She screamed and grabbed on to Fred's body, the tears pouring down her face.

This was her pranking partner. He had died because of her. More dead bodies were moved around them, the hall becoming a sanctuary for them all.

She could hear the voices of Molly and Arthur trying to sound cheerful but turned concerned once they saw how Alex was clinging onto this body. Draco walked over to the two of them.

"We tried, I'm so sorry." He too then started crying and everyone in the hall turned as Molly let out a heartbreaking squeal, recognising the body on the ground. She hushed over as did Arthur and clung on to her boy for dear life.

The worst part though, was when Alex finally looked up to see George walking in to the hall and seeing his brother lying, dead, on the floor.

She couldn't watch. Draco hugged her and pulled her away and they walked out the hall. However, before they made it out, Alex collapsed at another sight.

Remus and Tonks, lay side by side on the ground. Their chests still and eyes unseeing. Draco sighed and pulled Alex in for a hug. She truly was an orphan now.

The two of them sat on the stone steps. Alex reached into her pocket and pulled out the small pack of letters she had carried with her. He handed them to Draco and told him to go give it to Harry. He did and hurried off, wanting to be able to comfort her.

The second he was out of sight, Alex stood up and took a deep breath before walking out of the doors and across the ground to the forest.
