Alex's POV
I walked deeper into the dark wet cave. The water from the outside was slowly trickling in, on my hair. I sighed in frustration as I tried to cover my head. I heard voices followed by shouting. I quickly followed the voices with my gun out.
As soon as I reached the voices, I saw Harry and the scary looking lady with wands out. Her hair was up in a tangled mess, her teeth was maybe a shade lighter than black, and she was juss… unattractive.
"Tell your little friends to stand down and they'll live a little longer!" The lady shouted with an evil sneer. Harry shook his head. "Voldemort will face his end. He has killed too many people that didn't deserve to die!" "All muggles and muggle-loving bastards deserve to die! Confringo!" She yelled.
He jumped out the way just in time for the spell to hit a rock near by me. The rock exploded, which sent small sharp pieces everywhere. I hissed as a piece of rock hit my face. I felt a tear stretching underneath my eye. I was pretty sure it was bleeding.
Soon more spells were thrown between Harry and the horrid looking lady. I looked beyond them to find the Mortalitas Vindico ball. It sat in between two rocky boulders in the middle of a small pond. The pond looked like it had everything in it but happiness and I was sure there was life in there too.
As Harry and the horrid looking lady continued to duel each other, I quietly snuck to the pond. I heard a low growl from the water as I lit my wand. I sighed. "Esperanto obcido." I whispered while pointing at the water. Soon a few creatures appeared above the surface, either on their sides or upside down.
"Hey! Get away from there!" The lady yelled from behind me. I looked back quickly before I said an old 'pathing' spell my dad taught me. As soon as stone was laid down on the water I quickly ran in that direction. A bolt of red light barely missed me and hit the water next to me, causing a wave of water to splash me.
I sighed in frustration as I reached the small island where the ball was. My hair was now damped along with the rest of me. The ball was about a few feet away from me, but that was too easy.
I quickly picked up a pebble and threw it at the area. The pebble immediately caught on fire and became ashes before it hit the ground. I nodded. That was a pretty good spell.
"Hurry Alex!" Harry yelled as he through a spell at the lady. I nodded at him. "Terminatio futurus alica." I said clearly. The whole area became blue, meaning that it was safe. I sighed and through another rock. Nothing happened this time.
Suddenly the ugly lady appeared in front of me. "Thanks honey." She said while grabbing the ball. "Crucio!" I yelled. She apparated out the way then reappeared. She cackled which made me want to shoot my own self.
"Silly children! Thinking you can mess with the dark side. Abbadon will reign once again!" she finished before cackling and apparating away. Harry ran up to me with a huge gash across his forearm. He bent over to pant as I looked at where the lady once was.
"We… need to… get the… ball back from Lestrange." He said in between breaths. I nodded. "We'll get it back. I was juss givin' them hope." I said with a smirk. He looked up a grinned. "Let's go then." He said finally while getting up.
We walked back to the mouth of the cave. Fire was everywhere along with certain body parts. I cringed as I smelled burning flesh. "They must be at the castle already. They'll take care of the others. We need to find Voldemort." Harry said. I nodded.
He hissed as he rubbed his forehead. "I think he knows we're here." He said. "Why isn't your scar burning?" I shrugged. "He doesn't like me…" Harry smirked while shaking his head. "Come on. We need to get back to the castle." "After you honey." I said while gesturing ahead of us.
As soon as we apparated to the castle grounds spells, bullets, and screaming could be heard. We ran behind a tree near the Forbidden Forest before a few streams of light could hit us. Harry hissed while looking around.
"My scar burns even more. He must be around here somewhere." "In the Forbidden Forest?" Harry looked back at the thousands of creatures and students battling all over Hogwarts grounds. He looked at me and nodded.
We began to run as we saw students that we knew battling against creatures that they had only seen in textbooks. Arrows from the centaurs were flung in the air as students got hit by them or protected themselves from them. Werewolves were flying through the air as students quickly killed them off, careful not to get bitten.
I saw Alana and Dean in the distance battling a few werewolves and centaurs. She looked in my direction and gave me a smile. I smiled and nodded as we continued to run towards the Forbidden Forest.
We slowed down a little to hide behind a huge boulder. Centaurs were dragging catapults deeper into the forest. We followed them until we were in a thicket of flowers I'm sure we've learned before. They made a line of about 20 of them.
There were giants who were placing large boulders on the catapults. Harry gasped. "They've got Grawp." Harry said while pointing at one of the smaller giant. That was Hagrid's brother. He mentioned him a couple times in class and even passed a picture of him around our group, like we even cared.
"Out of the way you overgrown buffoon!" One of the centaurs said. "Firenze." Harry said venomously. "Is that the thing you trusted Harry?" I asked. He nodded. I shook my head. One giant came towards us while grunting. "Move Harry." I said while grabbing his arm.
I pulled us to a tree behind the catapults. The giant easily picked up the boulder that we were once behind. "Um Alex?" Harry asked. I looked away from the giant and then at Harry, whose face was an inch away from mine. I didn't even notice that our fronts were touching. A powerful shock went through my left hand as I hissed. "Damn, this is not the time." I said while glaring at my ring.
"Who do we have here?" We heard a raspy voice say. We brought out our wands and turned around to see the Firenze guy. "Harry Potter and girlfriend?" I gave him a disgusted look. "Of course not! I am his friend." I said. "Either way, you both shall be killed." He said while bringing out a few arrows.
"How could you Firenze? You gave your word to Dumbledore that you would protect Hogwarts grounds!" He began to laugh evilly. "There wasn't anything rewarding in protecting the grounds. The Dark Lord promised my tribe and me anything we desired. Now tha-" Before he could finished I shot him directly in his heart. Care of Magical Creatures did teach you some things…
"Alex! I was going to con-" "We don't have time for him Harry, we need to save everyone else. It's definitely too late for him so come on." "Attack them!" We heard a deep voice say. As we turned around we began to send spells, bullets, and anything we could at the centaurs and giants.
Of course the giants were harder to kill off. "Wingardium Leviosa." I yelled as a huge forest tree rose from the air. I used my hand and wand to swing at the rest of the giants who were looking at the tree confusingly. They all flew in the direction of the catapults. "Oh no no no no." I said while walking towards the catapults.
One single giant landed its hand near a catapult, which made the string cut somehow. This caused all the other catapults to go off and launch boulders into the air. The centaurs began to laugh as the catapults reloaded themselves magically and continued to launch boulders in the air.
We heard screaming as the boulders shook the grounds when they landed. I felt an arrow pierce my side, which made me fall on my back. I screamed in pain as I clutched my side. "Avada Kraveda!" Harry yelled a few times. Soon our area was quieter. "Alex are you ok?" I nodded while tears leaked out my eyes. "Take it out." I said weakly.
He inhaled and exhaled. "I, I don't know Alex. I don't want to hurt you." "Stop being a punk and pull it out!" I yelled in frustration. He grabbed it and quickly gave a great tug. I screamed as I felt my whole side being shredded. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he yelled as he continued to look at the arrow.
I glanced at it and looked away. The stick was covered in blood as meat and flesh clung onto it. I began to pant since it was getting harder for me to breathe. "Tergeo." Harry said while waving his wand. "Episkey."
I felt a coolness come over me as my wound began to heal. I exhaled as a final electrical shock let me know that it was done. "Are you ok now?" Harry asked. I nodded. "Let's keep going." Harry groaned as he rubbed his forehead yet again. He grabbed my hand as we began to run. "He's this way, I can feel it!"
I shook my head as I looked around at my surroundings. That familiar tall tree with some type of vegetation on it, which was glowing. That swamp that was emitting that horrible smell of mildew and death. The thickness of the familiar fog that surrounded us. And finally the familiar area where we stopped in my vision. I had a weird feeling to push Harry out the way.
I widened my eyes as I felt a breeze from behind us. I pushed Harry to the ground as a jet of red light barely missed us. It was the Strange lady again. She began to cackle again as we got up quickly with our wands. "Potter! It's time for your death!" I hissed as a shock went through my head, or a powerful surge of déjà vu.
"Oh! You can die too little Griffin girl." She said in that familiar high-pitched voice. The familiar battle between us began as we shot some spells at her. She was tougher than she looked, well actually, she looked quite rough… But in the end I had the perfect solution.
I sighed. "We don't have time for you lady!" I said while jabbing my wand at her. She cackled yet again. "What are you going to do about it? You're just like your weak father and even weaker uncle!-" I grabbed the 9mm that I had especially for her.
"Both of them marrying a muggle-born, how pa-" As a shock went through my head, a bullet went through the Strange lady's head as well. I clutched my jaw together as I put my gun away. I was not going to cry! Not right now…
"You-" "I know, I shot Bellatrix Lestrange. We need to keep going, Voldemort's up ahead. Your scar's going to hurt if we walk up farther." Harry frowned. As we walked closer Harry groaned louder. "He's definitely closer."
"A white light." I muttered as we came to the spot where we stopped. "Harry cover your eyes while we run." He nodded. As soon as we covered our eyes the light erupted where Voldemort was. I got out my shotgun and shot at him.
He groaned as the ball rolled away from him. "Who dares stop me from my task?" He yelled as he gripped his wrists. His wrist was surprisingly bleeding real human blood, yet he was supposed to be immortal. He looked in our direction with an angry look.
"How dare you? You will no longer prohibit me from my destiny! Destroy them!" He yelled. A few streams of black smoke came from the sky. "Alex!" I turned around to find Ron and Mariah. About 30-45 deatheaters appeared around us.
A few shots were shot as a few deatheaters fell to the ground. We began to battle the deatheaters as Voldemort vanished from our view. I groaned as I felt something else pin me in the stomach. I began to cough as blood gushed out my mouth. I looked down to find spikes puncturing my skin, one at a time.
"Avada Kraveda!" I managed to say as a huge amount of light took out about five deatheaters. I panted yet again as I spat out blood on the ground. Harry was on the ground with huge gashes all over his stomach and chest. His glasses weren't in sight and his scar was beginning to bleed.
I got up while clutching my stomach. I stumbled over to Harry who seemed to be slipping into unconsciousness. "Come on Harry." I said before coughing. He looked up at me with cloudy eyes. "Help me up." He said weakly. Since he was slightly heavier than me, it was kind of hard to get him up with one hand. "Crucio!" a male voice yelled. I fell to the ground as I felt fire ignite all over my body.
I rolled around as I felt the fiery shocks going from my head to my toes. Tears leaked down my face as I tried to get up. I felt a strange energy go through me as I continued to get up. The Cruciatus curse was beginning to wear off. I breathed in and out as the energy began to heal me, the coolness so comforting to my body.
The deatheater stopped laughing to look at me. He quickly got his wand up and pointed it at me. "Av-" I waved the wand away. It landed at least 20 feet behind the scared looking deatheater. I smirked. This felt good…
I looked to Harry who was also standing strongly on his feet. He looked at me and grinned while looking down at his hands and arms. "Avada Kraveda!" A female voice screamed. I felt a shock go through my body, but that was all.
"Alex!" Ron yelled. I stood there looking down, I guess to see what else was going to happen. I shrugged and rose my wand at the lady. I shook my head. "You should really work on your spells and charms. I don't think you mean them." She glared at me as she growled. I smirked.
"Avada Kraveda!" she yelled again. It hit me again, but still nothing happened. I sighed. "Pathetic." I said simply. She shrieked in frustration. "Gorgifract corperius." I said. The lady didn't even have enough time to scream before she fell limply to the ground. Always hated that spell because of the 'noises it made', but it had the most affect.
"Kill them!" a man said. Soon we were battling the last few deatheaters. I felt a lot stronger, like a warrior. I felt bravery that I never really had before. I felt power rushing through my veins. I felt unstoppable.
"Hemorphagus!" someone yelled. I familiar cry made me turn around quickly. It wasn't the same cry that was heard a few weeks ago. It wasn't the one that I was satisfied at hearing. It wasn't from the pleasure that was obtained, the love being shared. It was a cry of pain that broke my heart to hear.
Ron fell to the ground while clutching his stomach. "Ron!" I yelled. "Avada Kraveda!" Harry yelled at the last deatheater. He fell to the ground with eyes wide open.
I ran over to Ron along with Harry and Mariah. Ron looked up at me with ragged breaths escaping his mouth. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. He was paling in front of us. He can't be dying…
"Alex…" he said weakly. I rubbed my lips together. "Hmm?" I said chokingly. "What's… happening to… me? I feel so… weak…" He coughed with blood spurting out to the side of his face. I wiped it away with my hand and wiped it on my shirt.
"He said a blood loss spell. You're losing blood baby, we need to find somebody to help you." I said while looking around frantically. He put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry about… me love. Go… get Him." He said with a weak smile.
I let the tears flow down my cheeks. "I can't leave you right here. You're gonna… you're gonna." I let out a sob. I couldn't let him die. He had always been there for me and with me. I juss couldn't repay him by leaving him there to die.
"Don't cry… love. If I don'… make it… Just know I will… always love you…" he said as a pained look formed on his face. He groaned while clutching his stomach. "I'll stay with him Alex. Yall need to go. I can heal him temporarily while we try to find Madam Pomfrey." I nodded before hugging her. I knew I was her friend for some reason.
"Thank you." I whispered in her ear. She nodded against my face. "You're welcome. I love you so much Alex." She said with her own tears falling. "I love you too man." I said with a smile. I looked down at Ron, who was juss about paper white. His eyes were looking straight into mine.
I smiled. "I love you Ronald Weasley." He grinned with bloody teeth. "I love you too Alexandria Griffin." He said clearly. I fought back the tears that were threatening to spill out. "Whatever happens to me, I want you to know I will always love you." I said firmly. He nodded. "I know." He said weakly.
Harry and Mariah basically had the same speech to each other. Once they were done Harry looked at me and nodded. "We'll see you later." I said to them both. Mariah nodded. "Take care of my man." I said with a smirk. She laughed and nodded. We turned around to leave. I looked at them one final time before sighing.
We continued deep into the Forbidden Forest. Harry screamed as he held his forehead. "Which way?" I asked him. He pointed straight ahead. I nodded. "Are you ok?" I asked him. He nodded. I didn't really see how when his scar was bleeding again and he had no glasses on.
"Harry, how are you able to see?" He frowned and shrugged. "I can see clearly. I forgot I lost my glasses. Maybe it was the power I felt. It probably healed everything in my body, including my vision." He said with a grin.
I smiled. I wonder if it healed my self-esteem… We continued to jog through the forest until we saw a few deatheaters who had their backs to us. We hid behind a few bushes near them. I silently gasped. Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy were on the ground, bounded by their wrists and ankles.
Voldemort appeared in front of them with a evil smirk. "Traitors!" he yelled before kicking Mrs. Malfoy in the stomach. Mr. Malfoy objected, which caused him to be 'crucioed'.
"Since you won't serve me willingly, you will serve against your will naturally. You see, I need to release my father's powers. In order to do that, I need to prove myself worthy." He said while pacing around them occasionally kicking dirt in their faces. This of course made me angry.
"So…" He knelt down to grab Mrs. Malfoy's face. She whimpered as she closed her eyes. "You both get to be my sacrifices." Harry widened his eyes. I shook my head. "He won't get away with it." I said.
He smirked while getting up. "But of course, how rude would I be without inviting our guests, Mr. Potter and Ms. Griffin." He called out. "Shit." I whispered. The deatheaters got out their wands as we quickly came out from the bushes.
Voldemort appeared directly in front of me and rose his hand. Before he could slap me, I grabbed his hand and pushed him backwards. He gasped and then chuckled. "The warriors have arrived. I should have known they would come to ruin everything. What else can destroy you both? I have thrown werewolves, centaurs, giants, and deatheaters at you!" he said before cackling.
"Maybe you should destroy us yourself." I said with a shrug. Harry and Voldemort snapped their eyes at me. "What? I mean, all you're telling me is you're too afraid to face us. You send other people, or things, to 'make us weaker'. Maybe you should actually give us a challenge instead sending these little bugs." Harry narrowed his eyes at me.
I was only telling the truth. If you want to do something, do it big. I've already said that I am not a person of conflict. But if I have to fight someone, I will make sure they won't think to mess with me ever again. Voldemort was juss being a little, well, you know…
He growled and pointed his wand at me. I didn't flinch, but only stared at point of the wooden stick. "How dare you call me cowardly?-" "I didn't call you-" "Silence! I always thought I was going to kill Potter first, but you deserve to die first." I shrugged. "What can I say?"
I saw Draco, Yalonda, Jacob, and Pansy silently sneaking into the site. I smirked. "So, are you going to kill us or what?" I looked over to Harry who was looking at the site. "Yes, when are you going to kill us. I'm so tired of this war, I just… give up." Harry said while putting his head down.
I inwardly laughed at how good of an actor he was, sarcasm of course. Voldemort cackled evilly. "I shall use you both as my sacrifices! Along with-" He turned around to find the Malfoys missing. He gave a great cry of frustration. "What have you done?" he yelled before punching me in the face.
I groaned as I hit the ground. "Alex!" Harry said while walking over to me. "I'm fine." I said to Him as I got up. The whole left side of my face was now sore and was throbbing. "Damn old man! That wasn't fair, your hands are boney." I said with anger.
"Silence-" "Robes ignites!" I yelled. his robes caught fire, like I'd watch them so long ago. He merely waved his hand to make it stop. "You most not learn that well." I glared angrily at him as he walked closer to me.
"What makes you think you can set me on fire if your dear aunt Mary couldn't?" I bit my lip as I continued to give him a death glare. "You don't deserve to speak of her." I said firmly. He smirked. "I think I can. I destroyed her."
I felt power surge through me as I began to become angrier. "But either way, you'll get to meet her. I shall kill you like I did your relatives." I growled as I pulled out my pistol.
"What are you going to do? Kill me? You're too weak. You are filled with love and you are damaged from hurt. Your boyfriend, dead-" "He is not!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face.
Voldemort cackled. "You honestly think that little girl could save him? He was dying as soon as you left him. You're the reason he's dead!" he yelled. "Ron is not dead!" Harry yelled with his wand out.
Ron can't be dead. He was doing so well. He was stronger than I thought he would be. His loving voice was so hopeful, so strong. I was so convinced that he was ok…
"That's right. It was your fault!" Voldemort yelled. I stared him straight in the eye while tears fell down my face. "Even if he is…" I bit my lip. "He wouldn't want me to be worried about him." I smiled sadly. "He would want me to keep going. To be strong, to keep loving!" I said before hitting him with the pistol.
He took a few steps back while holding his face. "You're wrong! He's dead because of you. Your weak and inferior and you both shall putrefy!" He yelled while pointing his wand at us.
Harry held his wand out as I pointed my gun at him. "Do your worst…" I whispered.
AN: There's chapter 50. I find it hard to explain terrible situations such as fighting and such, so I hope I did ok. Most of the spells that were used were made up except for the one's you recognized so yeah… Read and Review… JussMee…..
