A Little Too Late Chapter 7: The Battle
****************************************
Hermione slept for a few more hours before she finally got up to get ready. She put on her clothes, her robes, and grabbed her wand. She went down to the Great Hall, where Dumbledore and the others would be awaiting her. The rest of the students were probably already hidden. She thought about eating breakfast but her stomach was too queasy.
She opened the doors and saw Harry sitting, sullen faced, at what was normally the Gryffindor table.
"Alright there Harry?" Hermione asked. He nodded his head, but didn't say anything. She sat down next to him.
"I'm terrified." He stated. "I always knew this day would come, when we had to face him... but I've never been more scared in my life."
"I can relate." Hermione said. Dumbledore and McGonagall entered and called them.
"They're here. And fast approaching." They all clutched their wands tightly and walked out into the bleak cold. Snow was falling. It was actually a beautiful winter day, if it wasn't for the mood. This was the day. November 16, the day the wizarding world would always remember. That is if they survived.
****************************************
Spells were being fired from every direction. Neither side was making much headway. Hermione was preparing to cast the spell when she was hit with the Cruciatus curse. Harry immediately Avada-ed the caster, but Hermione still writhed in pain. When she regained her strength, she stood up and saw Professor McGonagall lying dead on the ground. She wanted to cry, but didn't have time. She raised her wand. (A/N forgive the author in advance for her terrible spell making up skills)
"Avada Mil Obliv Kedavra!" She shouted. Damn it, she had mispronounced 'mil'. She tried once more.
"AVADA MIL OBLIV KEDAVRA!" A blue cloud rose from her wand and immediately rushed out onto the field. It encircled Voldemort's army. Screams of anguish could be heard. In the same instant, thousands of men dropped to the ground, presumably dead. But there were handfuls inside the cloud that stood screaming, not dying. Voldemort laughed an evil laugh. He had shielded himself.
Harry and Dumbledore immediately began to fight him. There were several narrow misses. Hermione could only stand and stare inside the blue cloud she had created. Why wasn't everyone dead? They were all suffering so much!
And then, she saw something that caused a horrified scream to escape her lips. Draco was one of the few still alive; he could clearly be seen about 200 yards away from Hermione. He screamed in pain. He seemed to be choking on his own breath. Then it hit her.
This cloud only affected those that were loyal to Voldemort, people who had willingly joined his side. Those that were still alive had been forced into it because of fear. The cloud, which caused the evil ones to die quickly and almost painlessly, had the opposite affect on the others.
They were slowly dying, being suffocated by the poisonous blue cloud.
She heard a loud, high-pitched scream from her right side. Voldemort had been hit. He lay on the ground. Dumbledore and Harry both raised their wands and yelled 'AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Voldemort was dead. Hermione screamed "FINITE INCANTATEM!" And the blue cloud faded away. The living inside, dropped to the ground, trying to catch their breaths.
Harry and Dumbledore were stunned, why did Hermione lift the curse on the army? But then they saw her running towards a man with platinum blonde hair and it hit them. She was trying to save Draco.
They tried to stop her, but to no avail. Some of the men who had not died began to rise. Dumbledore and Harry began firing killing curses at those who moved, not knowing of their innocence. Hermione screamed as a curse whizzed by her ear. She turned and tried to stop them. But she was too late.
Between the two of them, they had already killed all of the living soldiers. All but Draco whom she had been protecting.
"Hermione, move!" Harry called. She shook her head.
"Harry! You killed them! They... Harry what have you done!?" Harry was shocked. Hermione was angry that he had killed Voldemort's army? He ran towards her. But as Dumbledore considered her words, he too realized what Hermione had seen. But now it was too late.
"Harry, come back. We must go inside and inform everyone." Dumbledore called.
"But sir, what about Hermione?" Harry asked. Dumbledore shook his head, and with a questioning look, Harry came forth.
"I shall explain everything once we get inside. I think we should leave them alone." Dumbledore looked grave. Harry nodded and they continued inside the castle.
Hermione leaned over Draco. His breath was labored and his lips were blue.
"Hermione, I'm so cold..." He said. She held him closer and tried to share the warmth she possessed with him.
"Don't worry Malfoy, it's all over now. Don't worry." She rocked him back and forth in her arms, quietly humming their song.
