Me, Harry and Sirius are just running to the room of requirements when we see Fred, George and Percy fighting a group of Death Eaters.
I look at Harry and Sirius. "You two go on and I'll caught you" Harry goes to open his mouth but I cut him off. "Just go before someone else gets there first."
Harry hesitated a little before nodding and running off with Sirius following him. I rush over to the twins and Percy and see that they have stunned all the Death Eaters that they were fighting.
"Aww, you could have left one for me" I say. "I would have been happy to hex one into space."
Percy was going to say something but stop when a Death Eater shouted. "Reducto!"
We cover our heads when a wall explodes. I look around and see George and Percy fighting the Death Eater, but Fred is nowhere to be seen. I rush over to where the wall was and see him falling through the air.
I quickly turn into a phoenix and fly down to him as fast as I can. I'm kind of grateful that we are high up or he would have hit the ground by now. I grab his ankle just in time before he head hit the ground. Fucking hell. That was close. I fly back up and place him gentle down on the floor, before turning back into myself. I stand there with my hands on my knees, trying to get my breath back.
"Oh jeez" I say when Fred suddenly tackles me into a hug. He chuckles into my ear.
"That's was amazing, little Snape. And thank you. I don't even want to think what could have happened if you wasn't here."
"Your welcome, Fred."
He pulls away from me and kissed my forehead which makes me by surprise. He's never kissed me before.
"Oi Weasley!" someone shouts. "Take your mouth off my girlfriend."
I look and see Draco rushing over to us. He grabs my hand and pulls me away from Fred.
"Relax, Malfoy, I was just thanking her for saving my life."
"And you can do that with your words, not your lips."
I snort a little whilst Fred rolls his eyes. Then I suddenly remember about Harry and Sirius.
"I need to go and help Harry and Sirius, be careful and I'll see you all later" I run off before they could say anything. I really hope that we see each other again later.
"Ava, wait up" I turn around and see Draco running after me. "I'm coming with you."
I smile and hold out my hand. He takes it and we carry on running to the room of requirement. We turn the corner and see Harry, Ron, Hermione and Sirius all on brooms. Harry has Blaise on the back of his broom and Ron has Goyle. I look behind them and see that the room is on fire.
They all fell on off their brooms and Blaise and Goyle run off. Hermione throws Sirius a Basilisk frag and he stabs the tiara. Black smoke shots out of it and I fall on the floor. I look around but all I can see is Voldemort talking to his snake.
I open my eyes and see that I'm back in the corridor. I look around and see Harry breathing heavily on the floor. I get up and rush over to them with Draco following me.
"It's his snake" I say, gasping for air.
"She's the last one" Harry adds. "She's the last Horcrux."
Ron bents down in front of him. "Look inside him, Harry. Find out where he is. We find him, we find the snake and then we can end this."
Harry closes his eyes and I start seeing flashes of the boat house and his snake, then I see Lucius Malfoy stood with Voldemort.
"My Lord, might it be less, erm, might it not be more prudent to calls off this attack, simply seek the boy yourself" Lucius says.
"I do not need to seek the boy before the night is out, he will come to me, so will the girl, do you understand?" Voldemort comes close to Lucius "Look at me" he says, slapping his around the face. "How can you live with yourself, Lucius?"
"I don't know."
"Go and find Severus. Bring him to me."
I open my eyes and find myself in Draco's arm. I must have fall over because we seem to be sitting on the floor. I look at him. "He's at the boat house, he was with your dad, he wanted to call off the attack but Voldemort slapped him around the face and told him to get my dad."
I stand up and look at them one by one. "That's the fastest way to the boat house?"
"There's isn't one" Sirius says. "You have to go all the way around the school."
"I go to run off but Harry grabs my arm. "I don't think so, Ava. You're staying here."
"Am I bollocks! I'm going and you can't stop me! He's already taken away my mom, he's not taking my dad too" I pull my arm out of his grip and run off before he could grab me again.
"Ava, wait!" Harry shouts, but I carry on running.
Draco P.O.V
"Come on, we have to catch her before she gets herself killed" Sirius says. We nod and run off after Ava. We follow her all the way to the courtyard and see a massive spider come out of nowhere.
"Oh my god" Ava breaths out. She changed directions only to nearly run into a troll. Me and Potter grab her arms and drag her into a large stone bell, the others run in just in time for the troll to hit the top of bell, which makes it crack a little.
The troll walks off somewhere else and Ava pulls herself out out of our grip and runs off. I was the first one out of the bell, then Potter, then everyone else. A Death Eater fires a spell at Ava but she ducks and fires one back, hitting him in the chest.
Ava runs around the corner of the wall and stop in her tracks when a shit load of Dementor flying towards her. Potter runs in front of her and points his wand at them but a massive shield shots past them and sends all the Dementors away. We turn around and see a man who look likes Dumbledore stood there, he nods to Potter, then runs off.
I turn back around and see Ava running towards the boat house. We run after her and see her before to enter the room, but before she could, Potter grabs her arms and pulls her back. She goes to say something but he puts his hand over her mouth.
"You will get yourself killed if you go running in there" he hissed in her ear. We hear a muffled 'but my dad' against Potter's hand. I see Granger pull out her wand and wave it over Ava.
"You can remove her hand, Harry. I've put a silencing charm on her."
Potter moves his hand and Ava struggles to get out of his grip but he holds her tight. "Let me go" she says, but we can't hear her. She only stops struggling when she hears her fathers voice.
"You have performed extraordinary magic with this wand, my Lord in the last few hours alone."
"No, no, I am extraordinary, but the wand resists me."
"There's no wand more powerful. Ollivander himself has said it. Tonight when the boy comes, it will not fail you, I am sure of it. It answer to you and only you" Snape says. Ava stands there, listening carefully whilst she's got a tight grip on her wand.
"Does it?" the Dark Lord whispers.
"My lord?" Snape asks, and I can hear the confusion in his voice. Ava goes to walk forward but Potter tighten his grip as a warning. She winded in pain. I didn't hear her wince, but I could tell by the look on face that he hurt her.
"You're hurting her!" I whisper harshly to Potter. "Loosen your grip a little" I see him loosen his grip and Ava hesitates before deciding to stay where she is.
"Does it truly answer to me? You're a clever man, Severus, surely you know. Where does it's true loyalty lie?"
"With you - of course, my Lord."
"The Elder wand cannot serve me properly, because I am not it's true master. The Elder wand belongs to the wizard who killed it's last owner. You killed Dumbledore, Severus. While you live the Elder wand cannot truly be mine."
"No!" Ava mouths before stepping on Potter foot. He groans and lets her go but before she could run into the room, I grab her and push her to the floor. She tries to fight me but I pin her wrist to the floor. It's the only thing I could think of where she can't get out of.
"No! No! Let me go! Please let me go! I have to save him! I have to save my dad!" I shake my head and she starts crying.
"You have been a good and servant, Severus, but only I can live forever."
"No! No! No!" Ava sobs. "Don't kill him!"
"My Lord …" Snape trials off. We hear a slashing sound and Snape falls against the window. Ava starts crying even more when she sees her father body against the it.
"Nagini, kill."
"No! No! No!" She shouts, fighting against me. "Don't die! Please don't die! Get off me, Draco!"
We could hear the snake biting Snape and Ava is using all her strength to fight against me, but I'm not letting her go whilst he's still in the room.
"Let me go, Draco! I need to save him. I need to save my dad. He promised me. He promised he would come back to me. If he dies then we will be over, Draco! I swear to fucking god we will be over and I will hate you forever!"
Potter glances at me, then at Ava, who glares back at him. Just then we hear a loud cracking sound and the Dark Lord and his snake disappear. Granger waves her wand over Ava and undoes the charm.
"Get the fuck off me!" she growls angrily. I let her go and she roughly pushes me off her. She gets off the floor and rushes into the room.
"No! No! No!" Ava panics. We walk into the room and see Snape lying against the window. He bleeding really bad from a cut on his neck. Without saying another word Ava turns into a phoenix. What the hell? Oh wait, I remember her telling me that she's an Animagus, which I'm guessing is a phoenix.
She walks over to Snape and lets quite a lot of tears fall into his neck. I look and see that the cut is slowly starting to heal. Ava doesn't move until the cut is completely gone, once it has, she turns back into herself and punches Snape in the arm.
"You dickhead!" she hissed. "What the hell were you thinking, being alone with him? If Harry hadn't of looked into his mind and saw where he was then you would have died. You would have broken your promise and I wouldn't have even have known!"
Snape doesn't say anything and wipes away her tears but more just keep falling, so he pulls her into a hug and lets her cry.
"There's something you and Potter need to see" Snape says after a few minutes. Ava moves away and looks at him confused. "You both need to see my memoirs, it's important and it will explain everything."
They nod. "I need a flask of some sort" Granger goes into her bag and pulls out a little vial and hands it to him. Snape pulls out his wand and puts it to the side of his forehead. He slowly pulls it away and a sliver thingy follows. He puts it in the vial and hands it to Potter.
"You know what to do with them" Potter nods and takes the vial off him, then Snape turns to Ava. "No matter what happens from now on, just remember that I love you and I couldn't be more proud of you than I am right now."
"I love you too, dad" he kisses the top of her head. He was about to Apparate but he hesitated a little.
"What's wrong?" Ava frowns.
Snape looks at her, opens his mouth, then closes it again and shakes his head. "Nothing, everything is fine."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, sweetheart" he kisses the top of her head again, then disappears. Ava sighs sadly before she starts to fall to the floor. I rush over to her and catch her before she hits the floor. I see that Potter has also fell to the floor. I tense up when we hear the Dark Lord's voice.
"You have fought valiantly, but in vain, I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour to dispose of you dead with dignity and to treat the injured.
I speak directly to you, Harry Potter, you have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden forest, if at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, then the battle will counite, but I shall punish every last man, woman and child who tried to conceal you from me.
Sophie Snape, I speak directly to you, I failed to kill you all those years ago, but not tonight. Meet me in the forbidden Forest and meet your death, you have one hour."
Ava and Potter glance at each other, both of them have gone very pale.
"Don't listen to him, guys" Weasley says.
"Yeah" Granger agrees. "Come on, he's in the forest, so lets go to the school and think of a plan."
We nod and I go to leave the room but Ava pulls me back. "We will meet you there" she says. The others nod and leave the room, closing the door behind them.
I look at Ava. "Please don't hex me."
She laughs a little. "I'm not going to hex you."
"Ok, good" I sigh in relief. "You had me worried for a second there."
She smiles and walks closer to me. She grabs my top and pulls me down a little so that she can kiss me. I smile and kiss her back.
I groan a little when I feel her pulling away from me. "Come on, we should get up to the school" she says. I nod and she takes my hand into hers and we walk out of the room and head up to the school.
The first thing I notice when we walk into the Great Hall, is that there is a lot of dead bodies. "Oh no" Ava mumbled. I look at her and see that she's looking at something. I follow her eyes and see that she's looking at to dead bodies. Lupin and Tonks.
Sirius is crying over Lupin's body, whilst Potter tries his best to comfort him. Ava lets go of my hand and rushes over to them. She bends down and hugs Sirius and holds Potter's hand.
"He's safe now, so is Tonks, but they won't die in vain, because this war is ending tonight, he dies tonight" Ava says, pulling away from him.
"We can promise you that" Potter adds.
Sirius nod with a little smile. "You two should go and see Snape's memories while you still can."
They nod and stand up. Ava looks at me. "I will be back soon, ok?" I nod, as she peaks my lips. "Love you" she whispers before she runs off with Potter.
