October 31st 1992- Hallowe'en
Spell blasts hung in the air as both, the Light and the Dark, fought. Dumbledore looked as most of his employees, his assassins, his hunters fell in the massive onslaught from Voldemort's forces.
He had severely underestimated his enemy, thinking he was safe within Hogwarts but alas it was not so.
Tom had attacked Hogwarts in the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep. Somehow he was able to get his Death Eaters within Hogwarts and kill of most of the residents inside, or at least lock them in their quarters so they won't be able to fight.
The Attack happened when Albus woke up to the bone chilling cold. With a speed not common for a man his age, he quickly dressed in his robes, grabbed his wand and ran to the astronomy tower where he saw horrifying flocks of Dementors in the night sky, their cloaks actually covering up the moonlight and leaving the very air icy cold to the point that it hurt to breathe. On the ground were packs of werewolves running to the castle from within the forest. Next to them were witches and wizards stalking towards the castle.
He quickly alerted his forces to the sudden attack and they came in droves from within the castle. However he paled when he saw the numbers of the enemy. The enemy had more people on their side, at a ration of three to one.
Suddenly, the unthinkable happened. The very barriers that protected the castle from danger began to wither away and disappear. That was the silent cue that they had been waiting for and the dementors began to swoop down and attacked Albus' forces. The werewolves began to attack alongside the dementors. Those that were able to defend themselves from the first two attacks were game for the wizards and witches and the Light forces began to drop like flies. For every one death in the Dark there were at least ten that perished form the light side.
~Flashback: two hours before attack~
Rabastan led two units into the castle via the Vanishing cabinet. The Dark Lord accompanied him to destroy the barrier surrounding Hogwarts. Voldemort entrusted the outside troops to Bellatrix, Lucius and Fenrir. Michafute was entrusted with his own set of troops to make sure all the doors were sealed. Which meant that the bound people were trapped within their rooms, so that they would be unable to help against the attack.
Voldemort ran to a wall and hissed something in parseltongue. Almost immediately the wall opened and led them to a passage. They first went to the Legendary Chamber of Secrets. He told his soldiers to wait for him and his return.
He ran to the giant statue of Salazar Slytherin and freed the Basilisk within it. He asked the giant creature to assist them in their endeavors in which the snake agreed. The snake loved Hogwarts and is peeved at the pretender within its walls.
"If you would like I would like to lead you to the foundationsssss masssster. It isssss there that the wardssss can be made usssselesss" the Basilisk hissed.
"How do you know thissss?"
"My Original Masssster told me if a sssscenario like thissss were to occur in the future." hissed the large snake "I ssshall make my eyesss ssssafe for your followerssss. Follow me we musst make hassste."
The Basilisk led the astonished group through the giant pipes until they reached the inner foundations of Hogwarts.
Underneath the castle were enchanted pillars filled to the brim with magic. However it was obvious to everyone that this magic was weaker than it should be. Each pillar was connected to each other, the other four representing the magic of the Founders and the central one was Hogwarts itself.The pillars had different colors: red, blue, yellow and green. The central pillar was white. The white pillar looked weak. There were splotches of black and gray. Dumbledore messed with this and tainted Hogwarts. He had also circumvented the wards to suck out the magic out of the Slytherin Pillar, to eventually kill it and the last remnant of the Slytherin Founder.
Voldemort quickly fixed the anomaly and watched as the four pillars began to glow brightly. The central pillar started glowing too into a bright light that filled them with warmth.
Hogwarts has awakened again and She is angry. The one that was supposed to protect Her has used Her. And like all women, She has a mighty big temper. Dumbledore took away Her sentience. Now She will take it all back to her. She sensed the Dark one that coveted her before, he is truly sane despite his Dark aura. She wonders if the Dark one would possibly be her new protector. She quickly withdrew her shields and the war began.
~End Flashback~
Bellatrix' POV
People that came to take her head fell down one by one to her spells. Never had she felt this invigorated in her entire existence. Their new mark kept pulsing in waves and kept her warm despite the Dementors swooping overhead, taking souls as they please. Her spells are more powerful now as she cast a dark curse on her opponents. She remembered her time in Hogwarts, all the good and the bad, and vows to protect her home from presumptuous men like Dumbledore. She hexed another person that lunged at her and he fell to the ground writhing in pain. He paid no mind to him as she paved a way through her enemies.
Lucius' POV
He struck a mercenary with a blasting hex to the head, decapitating him. He simply went on fighting, evading, casting every spell he knew in his arsenal with a ferocity none would have think he had. He may be a dark supporter and he will disregard muggles and muggleborns alike but he knows that defeating Dumbledore will mean a better future for everyone especially for his family. His beloved wife and his son are his entire world and if they lose, he knows the future will be bleak. Ten mercenaries surrounds him, thinking he can't handle them at once. Big mistake. The tip of his wand lights up and fiendfyre erupts from his wand. He quickly swings the fire around like a whip, burning his opponents to ash. With a smirk to his face he joins the fray again, determined to fight.
Fenrir's POV
blood rained all around him, his new pack attacking, biting, killing all those opposing them. His new form was much more powerful, now with the new mark and he had the Dark Lord to thank. For years his kind were prosecuted and deemed unsafe as wild dogs and are told to die as such. It was funny since they only are dangerous once a month. A little fact most forget. He fights because his Lord gave his people a voice, a chance, when none could or would. He let out a long howl and killed a hunter that had pinned one of his pack members before the man was able to would his fellow werewolf with that silver dagger. Both werewolves looked at each other and howled, their hunt continues.
Normal POV
The battle raged on and grew even fiercer as the wards dissipated around Hogwarts. Bodies laid everywhere. The once green grass was dyed red. Dumbledore looked on as his forces crumbled and fell to the enormous horde before them.
Suddenly Dumbledore began to scream in absolute pain as he felt Hogwarts reawaken. He felt like he was being boiled in acid as She began to break his bond with Her. She was taking Her power back from him, reclaiming and ridding him of his title as Headmaster. He watched, in pain, as the wards went down. The pain he felt was excruciating. Suddenly the pain ended. The pain felt like hours but it only happened within minutes. Albus panted and shakily stood up. His outer forces were decimated completely. Where were his inner forces? Where were they. He didn't know that there will be no help from his inner forces as Hogwarts itself and Voldemort's Dark Knights kept them locked away.
"How does it feel, Dumbledore that all your plans are foiled?"
a voice echoed behind Albus. He shakily stood up to look at his opponent. His eyes widened at the youthful face before him. The crimson gaze of the man was overflowing in dark magic. However, unlike before this man doesn't radiate evil. Now he only radiates power. What had happened to this brat? Where did he get this power?
"Give up, Dumbledore. Hogwarts expelled you, your army is gone, you've lost."
"This castle is mine, Hogwarts is mine. The dark shall not have it!" yelled Dumbledore as he cast fiendfyre at the Dark Lord. He smirked at himself when the blaze surrounded his enemy. 'That was easy' he told himself only to cover himself when the fiendfyre turned black and parted. Out of the fire stepped out Voldemort not even injured by the flames.
Dumbledore sent another series of hexes at the Dark Lord only to be stopped short with hexes from Voldemort's wand. The halls were alight from their spells. Both combatants moved from the astronomy tower until they reached the Great Hall. The castle was their battle ground. None of Voldemort's followers intervened the duel when they saw their master. The level of these two legends were beyond them as they simply watched what probably was the greatest Duel of the century.
"Expelliarmus!" cried Voldemort as he narrowly missed being hit with what seems to be a borderline dark curse. The world seemed to slow down as the wand was wrenched from Dumbledore's grip and the wand clattered to the floor.
"There's no where to run now Dumbledore. You lose." he told the old man, his wand at the ready.
"No, Tom. You have won this battle but I WILL win the war. The Light shall reign and the Dark will go back to the shadows." Dumbledore told him. He suddenly reached in his robes and cried out. "The Phoenix Lives on!"
suddenly Dumbledore Disappeared from view before anyone could react. A portkey! He used a portkey to escape. All that was left was the discarded wand on the floor. Voldemort picked it up as he absently noted one of his men approaching him.
"My Lord, Dumbledore's remaining troops have surrendered."
"Good. Get everyone. Thoroughly check all the rooms of the castle and the surrounding grounds. Dumbledore has escaped. Leave no stone left unturned."
The Dark knight bowed and relayed the order to the others. They've won this decisive battle. Hogwarts is free. With Dumbledore still on the lose there's no telling when he'll be back. The next route is to change the Ministry. The future now looks bright for everyone. At least for now.
