Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter. Just Rose, for she is mine and she shall be my squishy. :D

Chapter 36-

"And what is so amusing?" Voldemort asked.

"Well, I was just imagining what your face would look like when this whole battle blows up in your face." Literally.

Her eyes went wide a split second before the back of his hand made contact with her face. Rose stumbled backwards but the smirk returned to her face. "Whats wrong? Can't handle the truth."

"The truth of what you dreamt about or the truth of what will actually happen." He mocked. "Haven't you learned anything from your little visions?"

She frowned then. He was right in a way, but she wouldn't admit that, not even on her deathbed. "Haven't you ever been taught manners?" She shot back.

"Yes, quite a few of them. Rather useless if you ask me." He answered thoughtfully. He walked towards her again and she took a few steps backwards trying to escape him. But a few steps later she backed into something. She turned around to find Marius standing there with an entertained look. And before she knew it she was trapped by Voldemorts arms. His false rend hair brushed up against her temple as he whispered in her ear.

"What's wrong my dear? Feeling a little outnumbered?" She shivered from the, not warm but deathly cold, breath that hit her neck. She looked around to see five others surrounding them.

"Damn vampires." She uttered under her breath. She felt Voldemort smirk while his chin rested on her shoulder. She could almost remember a time when Fred would do the exact same thing. She couldn't take it, so she began squirming and struggling to get away. Many things were happening around her and she couldn't focous. She needed to get away. Where was Draco? "Let me go!" She yelled. He released her immediately making her fly forward and trip awkwardly over a tombstone. Yet again she tasted dirt in her mouth. She got to her feet once again and ran through an opening between the vampires, which was futile considering how fast they were. She ran straight into Belladonna and growled.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Well lets think about that for a moment." She said sarcastically. "I was traveling in the direction you are now blocking, so, WAIT, maybe I was going that way." Belladonna was glaring at her smart assed remark almost ready to kill the impertinent child for her mockery. But Rose took off in another direction but was met by the unknown vampire. She glared at him also. "What, you aren't gonna ask where I'm going?"

He just stared at her with a stoney face. So she took off in yet another direction and it was then that she saw Draco. "DRACO!!!!" He didn't look at her and she knew why. He was facing off against his father. Rose took out her wand and yelled. "SECTUM SEMPRA!" The spell sped towards Lucius before it hit him the spell was deflected straight back at her. A gash formed on her thigh making her leg give way. And seeing as that she was running the outcome was even more painful as she rolled a short distance getting dirt in the wound. Now that she was in even more pain she couldn't think of anything that could possibly make this whole ordeal worse. But it did when she looked to the sky.

"ROSE!" She heard her godfathers desperate cry as the cavalry showed up. It seemed that any plan they might have had when they left for their destination would have to be forgotten as there were too many people in peril for them to think straight.

"Well, well, it seems the real fight is about to begin." Voldemort walked over to Rose as she tried to crawl away, but any movement made every part of her body hurt worse. And as he neared the red hair began to shrink back into his head and he got just a little bit tall and a little more white. His nose shrunk back into his face and the real Voldemort was now walking towards her. Her eyes went wide as the peril of the situation reared its ugly head along with his real presence.

He looked at her expression and for some reason he felt just a little bit taller. He reached up to his head and felt no hair. He frowned a little before shrugging. "No matter. It wasn't really a good look for me anyways." He smirked as he continued walking towards the frightened girl.

"Stupefy!" He stunned her. "That's better." She layed there unconscious as he knelt down to take her in his arms. He walked off to the edge of the battlefield to watch. He had made Wormtail bring his throne outside for just this reason. He sat there with Rose laying in his lap and her head leaning on his chest. The force of his stun should keep her quiet for a while. He watched the battle unfold as he absentmindedly took her ring finger inbetween his fingers feeling the cold black mark left there. He smiled wickedly.


"ROSE!" Sirius just couldn't seem to shake off the man standing in front of him. He was too fast for a normal person. And Sirius was becoming very ticked off. Not only was Rose injured, but HE had her.


"Unhand her you monster." Moody ordered as he aimed his wand at the werewolf's head. Hermione had tears streaming down her face as she tried to loosen the grip on Fenrir's hand that was around her kneck. The wolf lifted her into the air and dared the old wizard to come and get her. Moody growled under his breath.


Draco was panting hard. He had never fought for this long, against his father no less. "What's wrong boy? If she is worth leaving your family for, I'm sure she must be worth dying for." Lucius showed no emotion as he spoke. "Or have you changed your mind."

Draco was getting more and more annoyed by his damned voice. "Never." He spoke the word quietly, but loud enough for his 'father' the hear it.


Ron was getting tired. "How on earth are we going to make it through this?" He said as he shot another spell from his wand.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way." Ron was caught off guard my George's serious tone. He wasn't used to him being serious and he didn't like it one bit.

"Yes, Ron, we will get through this." Luna spoke up, not taking her eyes off of her target.

"Agreed." Neville chimed in. Ron wasn't sure if they would really come out of this alive but he was glad that he was with friends.

"I wish Harry was here." Cho said. Ron's eyes went wide. He hadn't even noticed Harry's absence. Where was his best friend.


"So, what, we just stand here and watch? That seems really stupid." Harry said to the tainted unicorn.

"Everything will become clear once we are needed." Fefdyn answered.

"How will we know when we are needed?" He asked.

"We will know." That was all the unicorn said as he watched the battle unfold.

The pain in Harry's chest burned, but not only for his sister. All his friends were out there fighting. Even Cho.

(-B There that should make up for my delay. Two chapters in one night. BE GRATEFUL DAMMIT. JK JK. Plz enjoy and review. B-)
