**Disclaimer** I do not claim to own anything that's not mine (J.K. Rowling wrote these amazing things before I could even dream of them). I do claim my main character, Dee.

I dodged falling stones and ducked from ricocheted spells. Hogwarts was under attack and I couldn't find Harry. I clutched at my abdomen as I felt the pains come again. I was pretty sure I was in the first stages of labor but I couldn't do that now. My baby would just have to wait. I saw George and Fred fighting ahead of me and my heart caught in my throat. I invisified before he could turn and see me. I can't do this right now! Must find Harry! My worn soles of my leather boots slid as I ran through the rubble. The battle raged around me and I feared for everyone's lives. I heard a shout that sounded like Percy and as I turned, I saw Fred falling to the ground. My heart nearly stopped. He'd been hit with a killing curse. The rubble around me and shouts turned to slow motion as I ran towards him.

My attention however was diverted by a shout by Annie. What the Hell was she still doing here? Why hadn't she been evacuated? I turned in time towards her to see what was wrong. My uncle! He had cornered her and had his wand up and ready to kill. I think I screamed as I ran toward her. That might have been why he turned so sharply in my direction. However, it wasn't me who caught his attention. There stood Cedric with glaring eyes ready to kill him. My uncle however was quick and dodged Cedric's curse, sending on in return at him. Cedric dodged it barely and scrambled as he fell to the ground. I could hear Percy's shouts of anguish and anger behind me still but my attention was on Cedric. He was about to get himself killed. I felt pulled in a million directions all at once. I wanted to help Fred and Cedric but also still needed to find Harry. I stood frozen trying to choose. A roar caught my attention and brought my focus back on Cedric. Annie had transformed into her tiger form and had attacked my uncle from behind, saving Cedric. That made things easier.

I turned and ran towards where Fred lay. George held his body in his arms, tears streaming down his face. I became visible and shoved George out of the way. I knew what I was about to do could endanger myself or even my baby but I couldn't let Fred go. We needed him. My baby needed her Uncle Fred! Tears dropped from my eyes and I leaned down and kissed Fred on the forehead, willing him back to life. I felt the magic inside of me this time. I felt it ripping me and I felt how scared my baby girl was. Yes, I felt her. I knew her. I felt as if I were exploding as I willed Fred back to life.

(This will cost you Deirdre Nadine Kendra Rashell Dumbledore. Are you ready to accept the cost?) Death's voice sounded eerily in my head. I screamed yes and fainted.

"Dee!" I heard George's voice calling to me through the black haze. I pushed through it until I felt in control again and opened my eyes. George was staring down at me with a look of anxiousness. I smiled at him and he engulfed me in a tight hug. As he released me I looked around us. We were in the great hall and there were bodies of injured and dead lying everywhere. "Dee?" George got my attention again.

"What's going on? Is the battle over?" I asked urgently, hopefully. George shook his head no and answered.

"No, Voldemort has called a reprieve. He's waiting for us to hand over Harry. Which is NOT going to happen." He said sternly with anger in his eyes.

"Where's Harry at now?" I asked.

"We don't know. He disappeared."

"Where's Voldemort at now?" I asked.

"He's with his crones in the forest." I jumped up to leave but pain in my stomach stopped me from moving. "Dee… we need to talk about this too. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" He asked quietly as I stood immobilized from the pain. As the pain passed I looked to him. He looked hurt and sad.

"How's Fred?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Alive, thanks to you." He said relieved.

"Good. I wanted our daughter to have her Uncle Fred around." Silence spanned between us. "I need to go find Harry." I finally said and started to leave. George grabbed me and pulled me into his arms.

"I love you Deirdre Dumbledore and I'm not letting you run off again until I do this one thing… I've missed you so much and I wish you had told me about the baby… I should have done this a long time ago and am ashamed that I didn't. Please forgive me for that." George dropped down to one knee and pulled something out of his pocket. "Deirdre, will you marry me?" He asked as he held up the ring. Before I could answer another contraction tore at my. I doubled over in pain. "Dee! What's wrong?" George shouted as he pulled me into his arms. Tears leaked from my eyes. The pain was horrible but I was so happy. I was going to marry George!

"Let me see her George!" Mrs. Weasley's voice entered. I felt her hands examining me. "Yep, it's as I suspected. She's in labor!" I didn't hear anything else as another contraction hit...

"Mrs. Weasley, I'm so sorry. I hope you don't hate me. Please don't hate me…" I begged as the contraction faded.

"Oh dear, Dee, I don't hate you. I love you. I was irrational before and I'm very sorry." She said lovingly and hugged me. I stood back up even though George and Mrs. Weasley tried to keep me lying down. "Dee, you need to lay down sweetheart." Mrs. Weasley admonished.

"No. I have to find Harry." I said sternly and invisified before they got more forceful about making me lay down. I turned and rushed to the door, but before I ran out I turned back and shouted. "Yes George! I'll marry you. I love you!" Then I turned around and ran toward the forest.

All these months of searching and running have finally brought me here. I'd found Ol' Lark and told him about Maud. After I held him while he cried for a bit he brought me back here to Hogwarts. He was able to explain to me along the way why I was being chased.

"When Maud left meh, I waz angry and crushed! Mopin' and cryin'… da works. Then meh came to meh sense. Started a campaign ta find out whatz all this about her damn prophecy that be so 'portent. Naw, tis too long a tale to 'splain now so here be it short. Meh found out bout you 'n Harry n' Voldemort. Soz meh understood. Voldemort be chasin' ya dear. Two o' dem prophecies be connected. Youz and Harryz. Yaz purpose is ta bring Harry back." Ol' Lark explained.

"But where do I bring him back from?" I had asked very confused. He'd shrugged.

"Notz uh clue. Just knowz ya gotta."

So that brought me to the conclusion that Harry was going somewhere and I needed to stop him. So I headed to the forest because that's most likely where I have to get him and bring him back from.

It was a struggle hiking through the forest. Hiking, pregnant and in labor is NOT a good idea. I stumbled and fell a few times but kept going. I had to get to Harry.

I heard t hem before I saw them. Voldemort's voice grated on my every nerve. He was taunting Harry. Was it too late to save him? I hoped not. I heartened myself and hurried to reach the clearing. I was stopped short by another contraction. Sweat dripped off me as I clutched the nearest tree to keep from falling to the ground. I feared if I fell, I wouldn't be able to get back up. I was nearly exhausted. It was at this moment that I heard Voldemort shout.

"Avada Kedavra!" I gasped as I looked up in time to see the curse hit Harry. I rushed to his still body, tears streaming down my face. No, No, No! This can't be happening! I came to bring him back! A moment of clarity hit me. - I'm supposed to bring him back from death!

I leaned down and kissed his forehead and willed him back. I heard Death's laughter in my head. I felt blackness surround me…

"Have you seen Dee?" George questioned Harry.

The battle was over. Voldemort was dead. Harry was alive. Fred was alive. Cedric was alive… Dee, was missing.

"No. Why?" Harry said with the little interest he could muster since he was still exhausted from everything that had just happened to him.

"She said she had to find you." George barely whispered. A commotion sounded from the entry way. Whispers were catching George's ear.

"Who is she?"

"Is she dead?"

"Who's that old man?"

George turned to see a strange old man carrying Dee's body through the crowd. He rushed to her but he could tell by her pale skin and blue lips that she was gone.

"The baby!" He heard his Mum shout from behind him. The cries of an infant filled his ears but he couldn't bring himself to care. All he could see was his beautiful, amazing Dee, lifeless.

George shushed the tiny, dirty blonde haired girl with a smile. The girl barely held back her giggles as they awaited their reward. The victim was Uncle Fred. Fred walked into the room just then and ran smack into the invisible wall spell George had just created. They both burst out into laughter as Fred scrambled up off the floor. With a shout Fred started chasing the little girl while she just kept laughing.

"Get back here Didi! You and your Dad are gonna pay" He shouted with a grin.

"Daddy! Save me!" Didi squealed as she ran and laughed. George just sat there laughing softly to himself.

"Ah, Dee, I wish you could see our beautiful daughter…" He said softly to no one.
