A/N: Here is an update! :P I love the reviews keep um coming :P So… I published the sequel to The Mysterious Sticking charm…l promised myself I wouldn't until I finished this one… but I did ne ways :P I couldn't resist since I have like almost half of it finished on my comp :P Plus my chapter are around a thousand words each so yeah… I promise not to Battle time! Oh and some people said that Hermione should be more careful because she is pregnant… She isn't… she has already had her… I'm pretty sure I mentioned that a couple of chapters back. Bri was born two months early so she had to be kept at the hospital. She also told Hermione that she was in the hospital when her father was killed, and that it was because of her great aunt… That was why… I hope that clears things up… And no that doesn't mean he dies… And I had fun with this first part :P
Chapter fourty two: Battle of Hogwarts part 1.
OoOo Taylor oOoO
She was running from the room of requirements not knowing what to really expect… She was blind to it all. Yes she had been in a battle before, last year even; it would be nothing compared to this.
Spells, curses and hexes were flying past her head. "Taylor!" A voice called from behind her, it was her brother, Gavin. She didn't stop running, she knew that he didn't want her to fight this one. She rounded a corner and came face to face with about fifteen death eaters all of whom were battling aruors and students.
She glanced around looking for anyone who needed help. She saw Eileen Machiavelli fall to the ground when a bolt of green light hit her. Taylor threw hexes at the death eater who had just killed the blond Ravenclaw.
"Oh what do we have here… A Slytherin…" The man said smirking at her.
"Well lets just put it this way…. I am different than you." She said coldly. "SECTEMSEMPRA!" The death eater wasn't familiar with that one. He didn't know how to respond to it. He fell to the ground screaming in agony, blood gushing from his face.
She spun around again and fear ran through her when she saw a Hufflepuff being backed into a corner, his wand just out of reach. "Christian…" She whispered he looked up at her, it was like he had heard her.
The Death Eater… Who happened to be Bellatrix Lestrange, still hadn't see Taylor. Taylor rose her wand as Bellatrix smirked the syllable Av… leaving her lips slowly but Taylor was quicker.
"UH NO YOU DON'T! AVADA KEDAVERA!" The last expression that ever passed her face was one of shock. She had never expected to be killed. "You never mess with Taylor Rosalie, or anyone she cares about." She spat and she felt her wand soar from her hand. She gasped as she spun around.
"YOU LITTLE SLUT! YOU KILLED MY WIFE!" Rudolphus Lestrange shouted as he pointed his wand at her.
"I would do it again if I had to…" She said with out a regret. Bellatrix had killed her twin sister when she had been little. She had never been the same, she had never even spoke of her.
Her face paled as a jet of green light erupted from the end of his wand. She didn't blink, she just watched in slow motion… She knew it was coming… Her end… She turned her head and looked at the boy she had just saved, her expression said a million things. She finally closed her eyes. She could die happy…
She felt something crash into her side… Her first thought was that the curse had hit her but she felt to much pain to be dead. She opened her eyes and saw him… The Hufflepuff was brave… She smiled he had managed to push her out of the way.
OoOoOoOoO
"Harry have you seen Draco?" Hermione asked as she looked around in a panic. She had been battling Brandon Holland when she had lost sight of Draco
"No I haven't." Harry said as he sent a curse spiraling down the hall, it hit an unsuspecting Death Eater. "Sweet." He whispered happily.
"Harry I have to find him." She said tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't lose him.
"How about this, you come with me to find the Ravenclaw thingy and we will look for him on the way." Harry said. "Can you do that for me?" She nodded and followed him as he continued down the corridor.
The walls were literally vibrating as explosions occurred out side. It sounded like an atomic bomb had exploded.
"Harry where are we going exactly?" She asked as she rubbed tears from her eyes.
"Back to the room of requirement… I remember seeing a big blue headdress with the initials R.R. on it." He said. When he had made that connection he had smacked his head in stupidity.
"Really?" Hermione asked thinking about all of the times she had been in the room of hidden things. "I remember it… I remember seeing it when Draco and me worked on the cabinet." She felt dumb for not noticing what it was, she had read books on the Lost Diadem.
"Why is the door already here?" He asked stopping abruptly in front of it. HE was right. It was there, the gold on it glistening in the pale moonlight that lit this particular corridor… Harry knew for a fact that no one was in there… All of their allies were fighting throughout the castle.
"Maybe we shouldn't go in… It could be someone we don't want to run into." She said grabbing onto the sleeve of his shirt trying to pull him away from the door. He wouldn't budge.
"We have to Hermione, If we want the artifact we have to go in… We have to get rid of him Hermione." He said looking at her with pleading eyes.
"Fine…" She rolled her eyes as she pulled out her wand and held it in front of herself. Harry gently pushed the door open.
The room was just as vast as it had always been. Its high ceilings lit up by enchanted candles lit with little blazes of fire. The walls were the same pale cream color they had always been… though you never really saw them with all of the junk that blocked them. The piles and piles of stuff seemed bigger. A lot more stuff had been hidden this year.
She walked past a small desk that she had never seen before. It was made of aged Mahogany and had initials carved into it in various places, it was actually kind of cool… They made it more than just another desk in a room full of crap.
JP+ LE. TR(L.V.) + AH… CLB + TNR… Hermione smiled at those in particular… She knew all of the.
"It isn't here!" Harry shouted when he got to the large cabinet. Hermione was shaken from her thoughts and she turned the corner and tried to find where he had gone.
"It has to be, Harry. Headdresses don't just grow feet and walk away." She smirked… Draco was rubbing off on her.
"Not even funny." He said distantly… "ARGHH!" He screamed a few seconds later. Hermione ran down the aisles trying to find him. Harry was surrounded by Crabbe, Goyle and another Slytherin that she just couldn't name.
They all turned their wands to Hermione.
"Lower your wands, now…" Draco growled from behind her. She spun around to see him and she sighed with relief as he walked to her side. He had the headdress clutched in his hand, Blaise, who was next to him, had a basilisk fang…
"Why should we Draco?" Crabbe asked stupidly. He really was dumber than sack of door nails. "And why do you care if we kill the Half mud blood." Fire blazed in Draco's eyes
"Because I am Draco Malfoy and what I say is law." Hermione giggled only slightly but they all noticed. "Damn, can this little place get any more crowded?" He demanded when he saw Ron among the Slytherins.
"Nope… probably not…" Some boy behind them said..
"Well I'm board…" Crabbe said losing interest. He aimed his wand at a mound of junk… "Have fun!" He shouted a spell and everything was on fire. Hermione screamed.
She saw Ron throw something large at Draco and he fell to the ground, completely unconscious.
"DRACO!" Hermione shouted as she tried to run over to him, but Ron had her wrist and was dragging her from the room. "Ron, LET GO OF ME!" She was struggling to break free of his grip. "Ron your hurting me!"
"I will let you go once we are out of here." He said tightening his grip on her arm.
"No let go of me now! I need to get Drake!" She was experiencing her worst nightmare… One she had many times… She had seen what would happen… She could stop this… She knew what to do.
"You are better off with out him!" Ron shouted, he hadn't seen her move just enough to attack him. She stomped on his toes and bit his arm. He released her almost instantly and she kneed him in the groin before trying to run bravely into the smoke. She knew that you weren't supposed to do that. The whole bravely running into a fire thing. But she couldn't leave him.
Ron had somehow managed to get past the pain just long enough to grab onto her leg and pull her to the ground. He wasn't about to give up. She clawed at the ground trying to get away. "NO! I WONT LET YOU SAVE HIM!" The boy growled. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" His voice was like a venom, it cut, stung and killed a part of her, He had always been one of her best friends.
"I'M NOT A HOUSE ELF RON I'M NOT AN OWL AND IM NOT A PIECE OF FURNITURE! I CANT BE OWNED! I AM A HUMAN BEING WITH THOUGHTS A FEELINGS AND I LOVE HIM, I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!" The words made Ron tighten his grip even more. She was crying now as her nails dug into the wood floor… Images of Draco burning in the fire terrified her.
"I WONT LET HIM HAVE YOU! IF I CANT HAVE YOU NO ONE CAN!"
"DRACO!" She screamed trying to kick Ron in the face.
"LET GO OF MY MOTHER!" Someone said jumping onto Ron's back in attempts to get her off of him, Hermione broke free. "MUM, GO GET HIM! HE ISN'T GONE YET!" Brianne said banging Ron's head into the ground.
"GETTEROFFOFME!" He shouted still trying to swat her off of him.
"DRACO!" She coughed as she crawled across the ground in search of her husband. "Draco!" Her voice was hysterical now… This couldn't happen… she just knew that she was to late to find him.
"Follow my voice…" A small feminine voice said from beside her… it was the same mysterious voice that had always talked to her in the dreams... She listened for the voice intently.
"You can save him, you can always change what seems inevitable… even if you are extremely ignorant… Ignorance is bliss…" She followed it, it was close…
"Your friends are out. You don't have to worry… We just need to get you to Draco."
"I cant keep going." She coughed, the smoke was starting to take its toll on her as she tried to find him.
"Well, don't… Because he is a few feet in front of you." Hermione soon felt Draco body under her hands. She had found him and she could feel his chest barely rising and falling… He was still alive.
"Draco! Draco you have to get up." She shook him as tears ran down her face. He didn't move or acknowledge that he could hear her.
"You have to carry him out…" The voice said and Hermione lifted him up with out having to be told twice. She turned to go back the way she came.
After what felt like a long time, she heard her name being called out.
"Hermione!" Harry screamed and she could here Blaise yelling at Ron.
"Harry!" She choked out as she collapsed onto the ground just outside of the big oak doors. Draco was still in her arms.
"Hermione!" Harry sighed in relief as he kneeled down next to them. He helped her lay Draco on his back.
"Ron Pulled her away from Draco. How can you love him… He doesn't love you! I Love you! Why cant you just chose me already!" Ron demanded as he shook Hermione.
"You are a horrible person. I cant believe I was ever your friend." Blaise said angrily. "You know nothing Ron. They have been in love for years…"
"How would you know?" Ron demanded as Hermione crawled back over to Draco.
"Please, Draco, wake." She whispered. Her hair cascaded around her face, She looked like a painting. A sad, sad paining completely hidden from view. She was holding his hand. "I love you, you just cant leave me." She watched as a tear fell from her cheek and landed on his. She saw him flinch.
Every one was silent as she squeezed his hand even more. "Me and Brianne need you Draco." She whispered placing her head on his chest, she could hear his slight heartbeat.
"Hermione…" the words were faint and very hard to hear but somehow they all heard it. She sat up again, she felt her heart leap. As she placed her hand on his cheek her wedding ring fell from the inside of her robes and dangled from it's chain. The red caught the light and it sparkled immensely. She had put it on a chain so she wouldn't lose it. Ron stared at it eyes wide with shock.
"D-Draco…" she said and his eyes slowly opened. "OH THANK MERLIN!" She kissed him instantly. "I thought you were gone!" She was crying, but she was so happy to see his silver eyes again. "I love you, don't ever scare me like that again.
"I wouldn't dream of that." He smiled and she bent forward to kiss him again.
OoOo Luna oOoO
Luna stood in the Entrance Hall with Ginny who was sending curses at various Death Eaters, it was really cool to watch. She had that Riddle fury and determination about her.
Luna turned to face a Death eater who had been trying to sneak up behind her. There was no surprising Luna, it was just so physically impossible that many believed she had eyes in the back of her head.
"Well hello… She said before disarming him and tying him up with ropes, ropes that tightened every time he moved. She was against killing death eaters, she didn't care if others did that… but honestly it would be much easier to give them to the Dementors, the best punishment ever thought of.
"You never fail to amaze me Luna." Ginny said Grinning at the blond. "You are so kind to them no matter how much they deserve to be hurt."
"They are just lost souls… souls that have strayed from the path they were meant to travel…" She looked thought full for a fraction of a second… "They are like most men… To stubborn to ask for direction or for help." Ginny laughed… Stubborn was definitely a good definition.
"Ouch!" Luna said flinching when she saw Trelawney drop a crystal ball onto someone's head. "Glad I'm not her." She shook her head… "That woman deserved it."
"LOOK OUT!" Someone yelled and Ginny spun around, a green jet was hurtling towards her. Just as it was about to hit her, someone jumped in the way…
OoOo Every one oOoO
They all froze as a loud booming voice echoed all around them… It was cold and totally familiar to the Riddle girls and the death eaters… "I call peace." Everyone was confused. "I will give you time to heal your injured and count you losses… This does not have to continue, I give you one hour. That is all you have… If Harry Potter has not given himself up by then, I will kill you all."
And for once in the last few hours, everything was silent.
