Chapter 36
Heather and Oliver turned up to the wedding reception together hand in hand.
"Where have you been?" asked Jackie running up to them. She eyed Oliver suspiciously. He still seemed a tad bit drunk.
"Away," said Heather. "What's going on?"
"Danielle and Eli are doing the first dance!" announced Nehal.
Slowly, more and more people started joining the newlyweds dancing.
Heather and Oliver didn't though because they were making out. The other girls were a little shocked because Heather hadn't told them about what happened.
So Vlad and Antoine came and filled the three friends on what went down.
Suddenly, a docile-looking guy in a suit approached Danielle and Eli.
"Miss-"
"That's Mrs. to you, bucko!" shouted Danielle jabbing the guy lightly in the stomach.
"Well Mrs...there are some odd people at the door demanding to be let in, but they don't have an invitation. .."
"What do they look like? – Calm down, Eli you don't have to murder them," reasoned Danielle.
"Well, I don't know. They have those weird black robes, and are all wearing masks..."
"SHIT!" yelled Jamie, Eli's grandma glared at him viciously. "Shit." whispered Jamie much quieter.
"What is it?" demanded Eli.
"Death eaters." said Jamie, Nehal, Danielle, Oliver, Heather, Jackie, Vlad, Antoine, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Professor McGonagall all in unison.
"What's going on?" asked Jesse. He had no idea what was going on.
Jackie placed a hand on Jesse's arm. "Um...why don't you help yourself to some champagne." replied Jackie nervously.
"I'm under-age."
There was silence.
"Right..."
"How could this happen! Right under our very noses!" groaned Nehal. "We don't have nearly enough aurors."
A bunch of the guests, majority of the groom's guests were confused as hell. They started huddling in groups, whispering about what was going on.
Jamie said defensively, "Alright, everyone who's able to fight take out your wands and prepare for battle."
Jackie ran up to Jamie. "But- Draco will be there."
Jamie rolled his eyes. There wasn't time for this. The death eaters could come in any second and start shooting hexes and curses amongst the place. "Jackie, I have a duty to do, a duty to others, a duty to you, a duty to the dead and by God, I shall do it! All I ask you now-"
"For fuck's sake what's going on?" said Jesse running up to Jamie and Jackie.
Jackie kept her eyes on Jamie and kept Jesse non-informed. It was for his own good. "I have never had a heavy as task a now. Believe me that if the time comes for you to change your mind towards me, one look from you will wipe away all this so sad hour, for I would do what I can to save you from sorrow."
"My friend Jackie," said Nehal. "You have had a sore trial, but after when you will look back, you will see now it was necessary. You are now in bitter waters, my child. By this time tomorrow you will have passed them, and have drunk of the sweet waters; so do not mourn over much."
Danielle stepped in. "That man isn't the Draco Malfoy, you loved! It his body, and yet not it."
"Is it really Draco's body, or a shape shifter?"
"Wait awhile and you shall see him as he was, and is."
Jackie finally paid attention to Jesse. "I need to get you out of here."
"Take the back entrance!" recommended Jamie.
Jackie nodded to Jamie. "Alright follow me Jesse."
Danielle put her hands on her hips. "I can't believe there crashing my wedding! This is not fair! No girl wishes for this on her wedding day!" She felt like she was going to break down in tears, but she had to be strong. She could cry later.
Eli stood behind Danielle and rubbed her shoulders. "It's okay baby. They're not going to crash our wedding." He paused. "I won't let them."
"I WON'T LET THEM!" exclaimed Danielle, "Especially if Ian's there...oh man. I am going to fucking massacre him!"
Oooo0ooo0o0o0o0o0ooo0o00o0o0o0o0o00o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o00o
"Where are we going?" demanded Jesse. "I just want to know what the hell is going on!"
Jackie led him through the kitchen, ignoring the chef's glares. There were so many muggles here. The death eaters were going to have a field day. She finally reached the back door. She turned around to face her boyfriend. "Jesse, I can't really explain right now, but you must get out of here!"
"You want me to leave?" asked Jesse feeling hurt.
"No! No Jesse, please you have to do this. It's the only way you're going to be safe, okay?"
"Okay..." Jesse was still confused as ever. He felt really out of the loop.
"Okay so run as fast you can home. Don't look back and don't worry about me because I can take care of myself." said Jackie seriously.
"Alright."
"Goodbye...I'll call you later." Jackie gave him one last kiss before they departed.
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Your words still serenade me
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody
Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe
After all the muggle guests were shooed and evacuated out the wizards and witches gathered together in a group descended on the door the death eaters were pounding on. Nehal, Jamie, Heather, Oliver, Jackie, Eli and Danielle stood on the frontline. Eli refused to leave, and Danielle wanted him there anyways because she was keen that they'd start the reception party up again after the death eaters were vanquished.
"Why don't they just open the door?" asked Oliver curiously.
"Cause they're dijions!" answered Heather.
"I think they were just trying to scare the muggles." replied Nehal.
There was a huge booming sound each time a spell was casted on the tall wooden church doors.
Danielle pointed her wand at her neck and said, 'Sonorus.' Making her voice magnified. Then she spoke to the death eaters. "Hello, dip shits! You were not invited to my wedding! GO AWAY! Or I will be forced to beat your ass with a crowbar!"
Heather sniggered.
The pounding lessened and a magnified voice rose from the other side of the door. The voice belonged to none other than Draco Malfoy himself.
"I want to be your robot man. Ro-ro-robot man," He sang.
All the death eaters laughed.
"If you're too afraid to do anything then get the hell out!" said Nehal, who also had magnified her voice.
The double church doors flew open and exposed a bunch of black-robed folks in masks.
"I'm going to open a can of WHIP ASS!" exclaimed Eli and did a karate move in the air.
"Mud blood." said a one of the death eaters shaking his head mockingly.
Another death eater pointed his wand at Eli, "CRUCIO!"
Danielle pushed her husband out of the line of fire and the crowd of good wizards dived out of the way too. The spell finally hit...Antoine!
There was a collective gasp among the death eaters because they all remembered Antoine from the good old days when Voldemort held meetings at the Malfoy Manor.
Antoine looked stunned, but stood his ground. He staggered back, but then collected himself and stood up straight. He glared at the guilty death eater. The death eater screamed and tore off his cloak. His veins were showing unnaturally strong. He sank down to his knees and suddenly coughed up blood, then died.
"Vampire powers," explained Antoine. "I made his heart explode."
All the cloaked people looked questioningly at one figure, with a little blonde hair poking out of his mask. He nodded.
The death eaters all held out their wands, ready to fire, but the aurors let out a volley of unforgivable curses at them before the death eaters could do anything.
Jets of flashing lights flew at the astounded cloaked figures. The jets seemed to have hit them, but unfortunately the spells bounced back. Many of the aurors dodged them but some people were killed or brutally hurt.
Confident by their new success the death eaters ran full force at the aurors, firing spells as they went.
"THEY'RE WEARING SOMETHING THAT REPELS SPELLS! TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES!" shouted Nehal.
Danielle was already on the move, taking off their masks trying to find her ex-boyfriend.
Five minutes later there were a couple of death eaters running around with just their boxers and briefs. (Heather went a little overboard)
"HEY!" yelled Heather. This woman was in a mask and was running around in black lace bra and panties. Heather ripped off her mask and it was Greta.
Greta scratched at Heather's face, so Heather performed a binding spell and dragged Greta over to where Jackie was.
"Jaxs! Guess what I found!"
A hairy guy in boxers lunged at them.
"Stupefy!" yelled Jackie.
"No...that's not it. And you don't have to speak so loud. I'm not deaf!" remarked Heather rolling her eyes.
Jackie looked around and saw who Heather was holding. Her eyes popped out. "Oh my!"
Hate was burning in Greta's eyes. If looks could kill...
"You can kill her if you want!" said Heather brightly.
"I can't kill her! She's tied up...besides if Draco-"
"Blah, blah, blah...who cares what he says."
Greta thrashed about from Heather's grasp. "You wanna kill me. Get in the line bitch!"
Jackie gave Greta a dirty look. "Sorry girl, I ani't ending your life."
"Will you two stop talking and kill some death eaters!" shouted Jamie.
"Fine. This is your last chance, Jaxs-no? Alright. I have a plan and what to do with her," said Heather as she dragged Greta off, despite Greta's bitter protests.
Before long, the aurors realized they were really out numbered.
A group of aurors stood in the middle of a sea of lurching death eaters, fending them off while some aurors were at the edge of another ominous death eater crowd.
Jamie whispered to Nehal. "This isn't looking good."
"Yeah, thank you Captain Obvious." whispered Nehal.
"We need a plan. And more aurors!"
Jamie and Nehal both turned their heads slightly to look at Eli who was being sheltered protectively by Danielle.
"Eli! Can you write a note to a guy named Mad-Eye saying we need aurors for a death eater attack, and give it to an owl?" asked Nehal, realizing how bizarre that probably sounded to the muggle.
Eli blinked. "Er...what?" All he heard was pretty gibberish.
Nehal repeated herself.
"Okay..." said Eli slowly. "But how do I get there safely?"
"We'll guard you!" hollered Jamie as he shot a stunning spell.
Eli still looked pretty nervous.
"And Eli, if you see any remaining muggles get them out of here ASAP!" yelled Nehal.
"Sure," replied Eli. "I'll do whatever I can."
Eli started to venture his way out.
Danielle grabbed him and he turned around. "I love you." She kissed him deeply and then he bolted out of the circle.
"Okay, now we NEED to get an advantage point on these mother fuckers!" reported Nehal. "We need to get some height-be higher up than him."
"There are stairs over there," suggested Jamie.
The stairs led to a stage where-Danielle's dad and Eli's best friend had made their speeches.
"Great!" said Nehal enthusiastically. "Now all we have to do is lure them there...Jackie go up the stairs and flash Malfoy!"
Jackie's eyes widened to the extreme. "Say What?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Jackie ran up the stairs and beckoned for the death eaters. "Hey death eaters, over here! Come on! You want a piece of me?"
A quarter of the death eaters left from the circle.
With that, Nehal, Jamie and Danielle escaped from the circle rolling out.
"Fuck me." said Jackie as she saw a group of death eaters charge at her. "Fuck me sideways." With that she hid behind the red curtain on the stage.
Jamie whispered to Nehal, "I'm going to take care of Malfoy."
"Jamie, no he could kill you!"
"No he won't. Not this time." replied Jamie confidently walking over to Draco. He had to figure out a way to destroy the ring, and then it would be over.
The death eaters were still walking towards Jackie when they jumped up on the stage and started looking for Jackie, she took out her wand and started blasting spells at the death eaters like there was no tomorrow.
Suddenly, death eater reinforcements arrived from the roof and jumped down onto the stage, landing with a huge thunk! They glowered at Jackie.
"Jackie over here!" yelled Heather, at the foot of the stairs.
Jackie vaulted over the heads of the death eaters and landed beside Heather.
"Follow me," instructed Heather.
"Where's Greta?" asked Jackie.
"I disposed of her." said Heather casually.
They both looked back at the twenty death eaters that were running after them.
Finally, they reached a door. "Inside!" said Heather and they went in.
"Heather! What were you thinking? Now we're completely trapped!"
"No we're not!" said Heather cheerfully.
They were in a kitchen. Dead death eaters lay on the floor. And Greta was chained to the fridge. Oliver was also there too, but he was alive and unchained.
"Okay, we have a plan..." said Heather.
Back to the ballroom...
Danielle, still in her wedding dress was firing spells at all the death eaters trying to climb the stairs. Antoine and Vlad were making people's hearts explode and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Professor McGonagall were doing their part.
There was a group of masked death eaters holding up shield spells making their way up the stairs.
All the aurors tried furiously to disable it but they only got one guy dead and the rest of about four people made it right up to the aurors.
"If we can kill the shielded guys then we've WON! There's almost no one left!" exclaimed Nehal breathlessly.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0
"What's the plan?" demanded Jackie impatiently.
"First, we lure them in here-"said Oliver.
Jackie looked alarmed.
Heather said, "Relax Oliver and I have done this. That's why we weren't at the battle much..." She paused. "And other reasons..." She grinned at Oliver.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"screamed Greta pulling on her chains, which only opened the fridge door her chains were tired too. The door swung open and hit the stove. "Ow! What the hell is wrong with you guys?"
"What the hell is wrong with us?"scoffed Jackie. "We're not the freaks with the plastic ass and the tin heart."
"No… you're the freak with the fat ass and no heart!" replied Greta.
Jackie walked over to Greta angrily so she was right in front of her. "You know what? You're only sleeping with Draco so you'll move up in the death eater ranks. You don't actually love him. In fact, your not even his friend!"
Greta cocked an eyebrow. She didn't get the impression that Jackie was a fighter the last time she met her. "Oh really? Well my friend Draco and I are going on vacation in the Dominican after this battle. Did he ever take you anywhere special like that?"
Jackie sniggered back, but didn't respond.
Greta smirked victoriously. "Didn't think so..."
"You know Greta I would punch you in your fake nose right now but you'd just go out and buy another one."
"ENOUGH!" said Oliver. "I'm opening the door!" And he did.
The aurors raised their wands.
"HEY TERRORISTS! TERRORIZE THIS!" said Heather and blasted away half the death eaters with a couple of spells. "Wow that was sick." She commented.
Jackie jumped on one of the death eater's shoulders and covered his eyes. "Guess who?"
"Uh is it Sally?"
"No, you're wrong!" Jackie jabbed him in the eyes with her two fingers and jumped off.
Oliver punched a death eater in the face and he staggered back. "Oh you want more huh? Well I'm ready for yeah!" He punched him again super hard and the death eater passed out cold.
Jackie did a Britney Spears kick and hit one death eater in the jaw and he yelped in utter agnony.
Ooo0o0o0o0oo0oo0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o000o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0oo0o0ooo0o00
All the aurors turned to the remaining death eaters.
"Just give up already!" yelled Jamie.
"Why don't you!"
"IAN!" shrieked Danielle. "HOW DARE YOU SHOW UP ON MY WEDDING DAY? I'M GOING TO FUCKING MASSACRE YOU!"
Ian sniggered. "That's right, fool!" Then all four death eaters whipped off their masks. It was Draco, Ian, Sean and Jimmy Mcfetridge.
"Accio crowbar!" shouted Danielle.
Ian rolled his eyes and laughed. "What are you doing Danielle?"
"Beating your ass with a crow bar!" And with that she started to hit Ian.
At that moment, Oliver, Heather and Jackie came onto the stage.
"What's going on?" asked Heather intriguingly
"I've been waiting for this for five years!" huffed Danielle. "STOP-STALKING-ME!"
Danielle hit him on the back and Ian fell down. With nobody stopping her, she beat Ian in to a bloody pulp on the floor. Oh, how revenge was sweet.
"Meow," said Timmy.
"I'm scared," said Bonnie.
"Meow,"
"AHH!" screamed Jackie.
Everyone turned to her, even Danielle with her foot remaining on Ian.
"Nobody move!" said a rough voice at Jackie's ear. Whoever it was had a muscular arm around her neck and the other arm had her wand. "Or Jackie gets it!"
"Flnit!" said Draco. He sniggered. "I thought you'd never show up."
"Well, well, well. Marcus Flint." said Oliver mockingly. Since they were both Quidditch captains for Gryffindor and Slytherin they had always been rivals.
"Oliver Wood." snarled Marcus. He turned to Draco. "Hello Master."
"Late is the hour that this conjurer chooses to appear." said Draco rather viciously.
"I'm sorry. I got held up by stupid muggle traffic."
Heather laughed.
Marcus turned to look at Heather. He glared furiously at her. "Think that's funny do you?"
Oliver growled. "THAT'S IT!" He hoped on a broomstick and flew over to Marcus then shooed him away with the broomstick.
Timmy hissed.
"CRUCIO!" shouted Marcus, with his wand on Jackie.
The room was suddenly filled with the sound of Jackie's blood-curdling screams of pain.
Everyone shouted, "NO!" including...surprise, surprise Draco.
"Flint-If you do that again-"started Draco threateningly but was cut off because Danielle had just realized Ian and stood up. She had swung the crow bar like she was holding a golf club and meant to hit Ian again, but in the process slammed it into Draco accidently.
"UGHH! MY ARM!"
Nehal's eyes widened like saucers. "Quick grab the ring!" Draco's ring had fallen to the ground.
Jamie dived to the ground in slow mo and snatched the ring.
"No!" protested Draco. He punched Jamie in the face with his good arm.
Jamie bit Draco's arm.
"Ow! What the fuck?"
"I've got the ring!" exclaimed Jamie as he jumped up in the air for joy.
"Cast it into the fire!" yelled Nehal.
Oliver pushed Marcus off the stage and Marcus fell onto the floor an just lay there unconscious.
"I won't let you do this!" bellowed Draco.
"Draco," said Antoine softly. "Why do you want your father's ring? Remember the falcon! When you grew up I always hoped you wouldn't end up like your father, but now you're everything he wanted to be and more!" He was trying to reason with Draco, to see what he had really become.
Draco looked miserable.
Nehal spoke up, "Don't be like this. Your better than your father! Remember all the things that you told me in sixth year, all the great chats we had. One of the things you said was that you didn't want to be like your father...ever!"
"I was sixteen I didn't know any better!" defended Draco.
Danielle said, "Listen to your heart. What is it telling you to do?"
"This is what my heart is telling me to do: thud-thud, thud-thud, thud-thud."
"Malfoy," said Heather. "Pork rinds! And muffins. Every day that you wear that ring a kitten dies, so think of the kittens!"
"Meow," agreed Timmy.
There was silence, but a sound broke the pause. Everyone heard Harry saying, "Mm...mm, oh baby, yes Diego!"
Slowly, Sean bravely made his way over to the aurors side.
"You're JOINING them?" demanded Draco, feeling mighty betrayed.
Sean laughed. "Face it man! We've lost."
"NO!"
"We must cast it into the fiery cast from where it came from!" instructed Sean.
Using his vampire powers, Antoine set the part of the stage between the aurors and the death eaters on fire.
Jamie stepped forward, swaying like he was in a trance. Slowly and surely, he walked to the fire, but then he came to a halt. He studied the ring in his hand. "The ring is mine," he said evilly.
"No!" shouted Nehal.
Jamie was about to put the ring on, but Jackie ripped it out of his hand.
"It's just a fucking ring! Just calm down."
"Don't do it Jackie!" said Draco with a look of horror on his face.
"Who cares? I know you like to accessorize Draco, but I think you're getting a LITTLE obsessed!" said Jackie and she flung the ring into the fire.
At the same moment that Jackie threw the ring, Draco ran towards the fire.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Draco! Its fire!" said Antoine.
Draco soon realized he wouldn't effectively be able to find the ring, so he stopped and put his head between his knees to catch his breath.
There was silence. Everyone was anticipating the defeated Dark Lord's next move.
Draco gradually turned around and stared at Jackie. Then gave a shuddering sigh. "I'm sorry, sweets."
"Aww, Draco."
Draco hugged Jackie warmly. They heard someone sniffing. Jackie and Draco turned around and saw that Antoine was crying.
"It's so beautiful..." said Antoine,
Vlad patted him awkwardly on the shoulder.
"I DON'T MEAN TO ALARM YOU MOTIVATIONAL MOMENTERS!" yelled Heather. "BUT THE STAGE IS ON FIRE! WE SHOULD EVACUATE IF WE WANT TO LIVE!"
So everyone got off the stage and went outside and watched the burning church.
"Ugh! My wedding dress is so dirty!" said Danielle as she wrinkled her nose in disgust. Her wedding dress was covered in dirt and blood. "Eli! What am I going to do?" She looked at him for support.
Eli smiled. "Baby, I'm sure it's nothing magic can't fix"
Danielle giggled.
Eli wrapped his arms around his beautiful bride and they kissed on the lips for a minute or two.
At that particular moment, Mad-Eye Moody and his gang of aurors apparated to the scene.
"Okay we're here," said Mad-Eye Moody gesturing to the masses of reinforcement of aurors. "Where are the death..." then he noticed the burning church and the firefighters rushing into the building. "Oh, dammit! I told you we shouldn't have stopped for coffee!"
"What did you get?" asked Jackie curiously.
"Caramel Chilatte," said Mad-Eye, taking a sip. "Where is the leader? I don't care where it is, dead or alive!"
Everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to report Draco, but how else could they explain all this.
"Well!"demanded Mad-Eye. "Where's the Dark Lord?"
"I captured the leader!" said Heather suddenly, stepping forward,
"WHAT!" nearly everyone.
"Hey! I can do some things," pouted Heather. "Me and Oliver did it together, didn't we?"
"Yeah!" said Oliver catching on. He leaned down and kissed her, then kept kissing her...for a minute.
"Ahem!" said Mad-Eye. He was starting to get really impatient.
"Oh, right," said Heather. She laughed awkwardly. "The lord is tied to that fridge over there."
Greta thrashed about in her chains, not caring that she was still in her bra and panties.
"I see," said Mad-Eye dryly. "Lock her up, boys."
Two aurors took her off the fridge and dragged away.
Jackie smirked and waved mockingly at Greta.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" screamed Greta like she was a banshee. "DRACOOO."
Heather shook her fist at her. "And don't come back!"
"Okay, let's start this wedding reception up!" exclaimed Danielle. "Accio boom box."
Flo-Rida's low song came on and everyone danced for victory of winning the battle and celebrated the marriage of the happiest couple around, Danielle and Eli.
