Chapter 37
The battle hadn't come that night. Soren couldn't help but be a little worried. If this was another false alarm the owls would be less than eager to try again.
He was sitting on top of the owlery, looking out at Hogwarts, when he heard a sqruieech behind him. Soren swung his head around. It was Fawkes! Soren's beak dropped a little. Fawkes landed next to him. "Hello Soren." He said.
"Fawk? What are you doing here?" Soren asked.
"I heard there was a battle here tonight." Fawkes said.
Wait, it's tonight?! Soren wondered. But before he could ask, or Fawkes could say anything else, there was the sound of the alarm. The same one that had sounded when they took the fireplace to get there.
"It seems I was well informed." Fawkes said, looking in the direction of the sound.
"The battle's really happening now?" Soren asked.
"I would say yes." Fawkes said.
Then I better get everyone ready. Soren thought. He dashed into the owlery. Sure enough, when he got back up, spells were being shot into the sky, causing a giant bubble to go up around Hogwarts, and fortunatly the owlery.
"Look!" Gylfie shouted. Everyone turned their heads the direction she was pointing. Outside there were swarms of Others. Once they broke the bubble, the battle would begin.
