Harry Potter And Voldemort's Ally
Part 25
Midnight came, the forest lay still, dangerous things lurked within its depths, werewolfs, spiders and Death Eaters, but this didn't trouble the interrupted group that made their way to the clearing. Sirius, Lupin, Arabella and Mundungus let the way, followed by Dumbeldore, McGonagall, Hagrid and the remaining Aurors. A total of 35 Aurors, and 7 teachers reached the camp, hardly enough, but this would have to do.
Silently Sirius made his way to the edge of the camp, and stifled a yell, Death Eaters and Prism lined up in rows, many carrying only sword, spears, axe and a few bows, but he couldn't see any wands, or Voldemort.
He crept back. All stood waiting for his report. He turned to address Dumbeldore "Albus, there's at least 75 of them in the clearing, all armed with both wands and muggle weapons" Albus shook his head and turned to the commander of the Aurors, Captain Alfred Terrin.
"Captain Terrin" Albus asked simply "Can your men handle those in the clearing?" Terrin regard Albus "My men are trained to fight both with wand and hand to hand if needed, but we carry no hand to hand weapons, we'll have to disarm them, but apart from this, we've got 4-to-1 odds, in their favor, it'll be hard but we can beat them"
Albus nodded, and said "I've got a spell that should , ahhh, incapacitate them" Terrin nodded. Albus turned to Sirius. "Did you seen any where Harry and the others could have gone?" Sirius nodded, "There's a large mound, with doors I don't know where it leads but he could be in there" Albus nodded and finally turn to all the Aurors and teachers "This is the point of no return" he told them.
"From here on, there is no turning back, many of you may die, and I will not hold it against you if you leave now, so if you wish, you may now" nobody moved a muscle, the group stood, still. Albus, smiled, and cried out "Then lets go"
The Aurors advance first, their instincts guiding them, they moved silently through the shrubs and tree's, taking up place behind them, pointing the wands at a target, ready to fire. Albus and the teachers came next. And then they saw it. The hall doors opened, and out came Voldemort. He walked from the open door into the ranks of the Death Eaters, . They saw his blade in his right hand, but nothing in his left.
Aurors mutter curse, a few teacher's eyes widened, but Albus remained unchanged, Terrin came next to him. Albus nodded, and Terrin turned to his men, and the battle began. "FIRE!" He bellowed at the top of his voice. Comets rained from the wands of the Aurors. Burning balls of light hissed and crackled as they hit the Death Eaters. Voldemort ducked at the first call of fire, and saw the comets hit his men, and he yelled out "RUSH THEM" His troops charged blade and assorted weapons in their hands each yelling out war cries.
The comets kept raining, more Prisms and Death Eaters fell. Albus stepped out from behind a tree, and raised his wand above his head, and began to chant. In a sing-song voice he chanted, even as Death Eaters of Prism closed around his he remained chanting, a single drop of order in a sea of chaos, and the it happened. The trees moved, and glowed. And green light enveloped them, as they grew, and grew. The branches flowed like water outwards. As Death Eaters came past them they began to swing, and trash at them, knocking the out, throwing them far , and then vines came from nowhere, like green snakes they came from the grass, thorns covering them.
They tangle at the feet of the Prism and Death Eaters, and as the thorns broke the skin, poisons came from the vines, slowly putting them into a deep sleep. Voldemort let out a cry, this was old magic, very old magic. He cried out to his forces, "Separate the old fool from the other, and stop the chanting!" He raised his hand and opened it. Black flames sprung from his fist, hitting the vines, and burning them in a a dark furnaces to nothing but ashes. The flames followed the vines ground, tracing them to their source. The ground burned as the flames touched it, making it black, and dry.
Sirius stood let out curse as the enemy came upon them. He let out one final charm "Expelliarmus! " The axe a Death Eater's was carrying sailed from his grasp and into Sirius. Slipping his wand into a pocket he took up the axe in both hands. It was about 3/4 quarters of a meter long, the half moon blade glinted in the moonlight. It had a spike above the blade as well. It was encrusted the jewel, emeralds, rubies, diamonds and others. The first armed Death Eater came upon him with a sword, slashing at his face.
Sirius ducked and thrust the spike into his chest of the Death Eater driving him back, he removed the blade and swung at a Death Eater on his right side, the half moon blade took him in the head as he dived for Lupin, as another went for Lupin, he was set upon by a Prism, his blue eyes, full of hatred. Sirius stepped back as the Prisms scimitar slash at him, and blocked the next blow with the axe's blade, and he swung the axe's handle into the Prisms face. He Jumped at him.
Lupin he used his wand to the last, lightning cutting the air like knife. but his wands was knocked out of his hand as his dived from a long knife. The knife was more a short sword than a knife, but wasn't as thick. The Death Eater carried one in each hand cutting and thrusting at him. Lupin caught the Death Eater left wrist and then right one, then Lupin kicked him in the stomach hard, sending him to his knees, Lupin kicking him in the face for good measure. The Death Eater lost his grip on the knives, Lupin pulled from his hands, and dodge the body of an Death Eater, and large axe mark in his head. Lupin engaged another Death Eater.
At the moment of battle Arabella had erected a protective shield, the stopped all metal and wood. She had all so began let off comets and meteors, but was caught off guard as an arrow hit her shield She jumped back as the shields nearly failed, the arrow stood held in did air by the shield. She knew it could only withstand another hit, she took aim at another Death Eater and saw it, a spear sailed through the air, it gleaming tip coming from nowhere, it hit here shield. The metal melted, and ran down the sides, making a cap on each end, but the wood came through she grabbed it out of the air as her shield failed and came round, using the pole like a quarter staff. She smashed it over the head of a near by Prism, and began to crack head,knees, arms and legs.
Mundungus fought on bravely. A long sword in his hands, he slashed and cut at the Death Eaters and Prisms who encroached on him, cutting a throat here, driving it through a chest there, the battle raged on, but another struggle was on bellow ground.......
James struggle to his feet, blade and shield in hand. And looked around, he stood in the under ground fortress of the Dark Lord, injured and annoyed, he saw the doors and rear walls on fire, flames slowly engulfing them, and then saw Harry,Hermione and Ron, held to the wall. They called out. "James, help!" James growled, and ran towards them twirling his sword in his right hand he jumped and slashed beside Harry. The air explode, knocking James back, and Hermione, Harry and Ron from the bonds. James picked himself up. And Hermione raced to his side, throwing her arms his neck she kissed on the lips, he eyes widened in shock and pulled away. She was smiling at him. "I knew you were alive!"
He smiled back "I know, and I'd love to continue this moment but we've got other problems" He pointed his blade at the wall of flames. Harry nodded and as did Ron. Harry smiled "You're a tougher fellow than I thought" James grinned and shrugged, Ron looked a but shook and managed a "How?!" James again grinned "I'll explain later" He drew his wand and pointed to the door that was covered with flames. "We've gotta get through"
"How are we going to get through that?" Harry asked, and James drew his amulet "I'm fire elemental, I should be able to get control with my amulet" James said, and advanced on the wall, Hermione called out "You should ?" James didn't look back but shrugged, raised his wand and amulet.
He began to mumble, words that Harry ,Hermione and Ron couldn't understand, but the fire did. It surged towards him, the amulet glowing red, seeming to attract it but then it darken, James looked shocked, but as the amulet's color died the flames didn't, and they jumped at him. He was lucky to get away. He got away as the flames tried to smother him. Singeing his blood stained robes.
He took another step back as the flames returned to normal. He shook his head "The flames are meant to attack anyone as well as stopping anyone" He said. Hermione said sighed "We could try running through" Ron laughed, a bitter laugh "I rabid animal wouldn't do that"
James' eyes widened. He looked at Ron "Animal, that's it!!" Ron, looked confused, "Animal, what do you mean?" James turned to Hermione "Herm' what abilities are linked with the elements?" Hermione thought for a moment. The said "No really except...." James finished her sentence "Becoming a Animagus!" Harry got the point. "You mean, us, becoming Animagus', but it takes years!"
James said quickly "But there's a flaw in that theory, they say, in a moment of need, your primal instincts take command, a combined with our elements, we might just get through alive!" Hermione was skeptical "But James a hund...." The fire on the others side of the chamber flared up, and began to move towards them towards them, wicked orange flames advancing on them.
James shout angrily "Look we don't have time for this, we either go ahead or die, so which one?" Ron said grudgingly "All right then, how do we do it?" James nodded, and pointed at Hermione and Ron, "You go first, the fire is getting stronger and you two are weakest against it"
Hermione nodded, and took Ron's hand "Ready?" She asked. "Ready" Ron replied Hermione looked back "James, if this doesn't work out, I'll kill you" James grinned "Yes my love!" Hermione shoot him a 'We'll sort this out later' look. and holding Ron's hand, Hermione jumped through the flames with Ron.
Harry and James threw up an arm to shield their eyes from a brilliant burst of intense light that cascaded from the flames. The light dies and that looked up, nothing. James shook his head. "Well Harry, I'd never thought it'd come to this, but.." Harry nodded. "We owe you James" James pointed at him "Big time, ok, in three, two, one!" They cried out as they speed into the flames, and then, light became their worlds, burning light.
Hogwarts lay still, it was near midnight and many students were in bed, but still some were up, because they could hear noise, and see light in the Forbidden Forest. But in the Gryffindor common room, many still question the where about of Harry,Ron,Hermione and James, after the Dementor attack.
The common room was packed with people, Fred,George,Ginny and Kathy worried about Ron. Parvati worried about Hermione, but nearly all, even Cho Chang of Ravenclaw, worried about Harry. But only a few remember James. Ember was one of them.
Down in Dumbeldore's office, Fawkes stirred from his sleep. And rose up. He flew to beside the glass case of Godric Gryffindor's sword. Fawkes clawed at the edge of the glass hoping to lift it up. No luck. But instead he lifted the entire case from the were it sat, he lifted it up into the air, and dropped it. With a smash, the glass sprayed everywhere across the room. Fawkes picked up the sword, and flew out of the castle.
Ember also stirred, from his perch in the common room, he took flight, heading for the window, many people gasped as they saw the bird take flight, the multi colored feature's began to change, and burn, fire spreading from it's tail all across his body. He burst into flames, a girl screamed, and Ember disappeared, only to reappeared outside with Fawkes, both flying for the forest.
"Die you bastard!!!!" Mundungus removed the head of a Prism in a swift blow, blood splattered on the ground. He charged forwards to help Sirius, how was bellowing to regroup. The battle was claiming many lives, ten Aurors corpse were on scattered on the battlefields, and more than fifty Prisms and Death Eaters had meet their end in this battle.
Alfred Terrin came round, scimitar in had, and spread a Death Eaters stomach on to the ground, and then a deafening roar went up. The mound, and door explode, earth flew into the air as a fireball fifty feet high leapt into the existence the door was engulfed flames, and then the grounds began to fall in on itself.
Sirius let a strangle dry. And Terrin yell "Black, Potter is dead, theirs nothing you can do about it, he dead" Sirius bellowed out "No, he's not he lives" He was trembling with rage. "Sirius" Lupin said "I think he's right, I'm sorry, but Harry, James, Hermione and Ron are with James and Lily now, I'm sorry" Sirius' knee gave way, and a Death Eaters surged forwards, spear in throwing position and Arabella's staff broke his skull in a swift swing, sending him into the ground.
Arabella wheeled around to stop another Prism, and promptly lay him beside the Death Eater. "Sirius, I known how you feel, but" She stopped, and the she saw it, "Look!" she bellowed , and they gasped.
The flames around the door were swirling, and then they saw the silhouette of something behind the flames. it was small, and looked liked an animal. The flames began to heave away from the door, and then, the explode, and the animal leaped out. And the people stop and looked in awe and terror, a black leopard was on the ground, fur so black that it looked like night, it eyes, glow ominously.
It advance menacingly on a Prism, and a breathed a cloud of mist at the man. People began to run, for they knew it was the most fear beast in most of the world, the Nundu. A leopard with unbelievable stealth, and breath that caused a powerful virus. It had only been capture by a hundred of the finest wizards.
The cloud was like mist, and as soon as it hit the terrified Prism it hardened, and the man let out a terrified scream, for the he was freezing. Ice grew from the mist the flowed from the Nundu mouth. The man gave a last scream and was frozen stiff, and the the Nundu turned Sirius way, and then they saw. Around the neck of the was sapphire shaped into a heart, it was Hermione necklace.
Arabella gasped "It can't be" Sirius was shocked beyond belief "That's no Nundu" Lupin agreed. "What is it then?" Mundungus managed And Arabella said simply "Hermione" Lupin gasped "No, they're no where near that advanced in magic" Arabella shook her head "We underestimated them" Sirius couldn't only manage to ask "Harry?" Arabella shrugged. Then the fire swirled, and another creature explode from the flames.
A lion was on the field. Many could right this off as a simple lion, until they saw the scorpion tail of the beast, and wings. And now a Manticore was there. But not a normal Manticore. It sides had a grayish hue to them, and it looked like it had plated of armor across it back and sides, rocky armor.
A fearless Death Eater rushed it, a sickle ready, hoping to get between it plates of armor. The Manticore swung it tail around, and the scorpion tails stinger ripped into the Death Eaters chest. It shot straight through and out the other side purple venom dripping onto the ground. The man let out a pitiful whipper and died. Blood slowly dripped onto the face of the Manticore, he shook his head, and then they saw the red mane. The same colors as Ron hair.
Mundungus killed a near by Death Eater with a slash of his sword and cried "It's Ron!" Sirius found a sudden hope inside a sudden hope that Harry was alive. "Come on Harry" he murmured. And one final time the fire swirled, and out came two shapes. A Phoenixuss swept through, a cloud of flames on it's back and tail, it glanced around, and they saw a long scar, James scar.
The second figure was brilliant, white, the purest white imaginable. A horn as bright as the sun was on it forehead, it glowed, and it reared up, and they all saw the tail golden as a polished galleon and a lightning bolt between it's eyes, Harry Potter had became an Animagus.
Sirius cried out in pure joy, "Harry!" He bellowed, but he had no time to be happy, for Voldemort let out a cry "FINISH THIS NOW, KILL THE BEASTS AND EVERYONE ELSE!" The Prism rushed the remaining Aurors and teachers. And battle rage field Sirius as he saw Death Eaters going for The Animagus'. He let out a cry of rage and charged. Swing the axe in a short arc, killing a Death Eater instantly with a blow to the head and another with an upwards thrust of the spike.
Arabella charged,the staff a buzz around her, it was like a living thing in her arms, bones cracked, skulls broke as she hit the charging ranks. Lupin slashed at any nearly him. In a quick thrust he killed a Prism, and flicked the knife in his had to hold the blade. He held it up to a to see a Prism coming for him, he threw the knife. And the Prism stagger, a knife growing from his throat. Lupin grabbed his knife and battle onward, with Mundungus beside him, his hand and sword drenched in blood.
Voldemort surveyed the battlefield, so Potter isn't dead, but he'll be soon enough. He glanced as Aurors and teachers fought charged with charge. Both line collided, thought greatly out numbered, the Aurors did heavy damage, and Black and his bunch cut down his men like trees, time to end this, he thought, and raised a hand. And a black globe formed, he raise his hand and....
He was knocked from his feet by a blast of energy. and Dumbeldore came into view wand raised, he cried out "Voldemort, your evil is great, but not invincible, and tonight your evil dies with you" Voldemort got up. "Brave word for an old man, prepare to die with your friends!" And both used spells. Dumbeldores shot a beam of pure energy out at Voldemort, and Voldemort sent out a black beam of raging magic, both hit each other in a fiery blast. And the duel between the master began.
James' spirit soared with his body, it was an unbelievable feeling, having the wind swirling around his body, his body burning, but he felt nothing. He swooped low, and felt a burning in his throat, he opened his mouth as he came insight of a Prism, and a jet of flames spurted out of his mouth, they hit the ground charring it and the hit the Prism, he scream as his entire body came a light and he burnt alive. He landed, closed his eyes and thought of his human self, James, the smart ass, James the nice person, and just plain James.
He opened his eyes to find himself in his blood soaked robes, sword and shield at the ready, he saw that Lupin and the other were being over come by a horde of Prism,, he put his sword to shield, and a glowed surrounded his body, it was blue, then changed to gray, and then he was covered head to toe in armor.
He charged and lay about the Prism, sword swinging low, he cut a Prism in half in a single blow, swung round and thrust killing a Death Eaters, and again he thrust and killed another, he swung at the head of a Prism who ducked and rolled behind him James swung his sword back, taking him through the chest, and saw Sirius go down,a Prism above him long sword raised, and coming in for a clean sweep.
James sword intercepted the blow and parried the blow the Prism to below his waited and swung. The Prism blocked, and James swung so hard the Prism blade shattered, he came round, and killed and him quickly. He help Sirius up, as Harry,Ron and Hermione, in Animagi form came up, and changed, a bones shorted, scale disappeared until on the the original Harry,Hermione and Ron were left. Sirius hugged Harry as soon as he was up "Your alive!" he cried, and Harry hugged back, "So are you" James patted Lupin on the back, 'You fight well" but Lupin but in "Not half as good as you" Arabella hugged Hermione and Mundungus grabbed Ron.
Voldemort sensed the Auror behind him as he fought magic with magic against Dumbeldore, and his left hand, now holding the sword buried itself into the Aurors chest. The fight between himself and Dumbeldore was beginning to show, but no as much as Dumbeldore. His breathing was ragged and sweat was beading on his forehead. Voldemort cried out "Death Eaters, form up around us, let no one interfere" He was going kill Dumbeldore no matter what.
Sirius killed another when all the Death Eaters retreated to gather around Voldemort. James swore. "He'll kill him, we've got to get to him" Sirius agreed, Sirius bellowed out "Aurors! to me final charge!" Aurors began to marshal, Terrin not among them, Sirius was about to rush them when James said "Wait!" Sirius stopped "What?" He asked simply. James turned to Harry "Harry can you change back to animal form again?" Harry nodded, unsure of what he was doing.
Harry thought of his animal form, the golden unicorn, lightning unicorn, it power. He closed his eyes. He thought of the strength and power, and everything about the animal. And then he opened his eyes, to be staring down at James, and he had a horn in the middle of his face.
James call up to him "Can you gallop with me on your back ?" Harry nodded, and shook his tail. "Great" James murmured and jumped up onto Harry's back, James did it like he'd known how to do it all his life. He murmured in Harry's ear, "Get me passed the Death Eaters, and I'll get Dumbeldore on to your back, the get out of there, got it?" Harry again nodded, but thought 'what about you?'
"GO!" James bellowed drawing his sword, Harry gallop, the world speed past him as his four legs rushed underneath him. James let out a battle cry as they neared the Death Eaters, and Dumbeldore on his knees, Voldemort advancing sword raised. Sirius saw as well Dumbeldore on his knees, Voldemort words "Here you die old man" He couldn't believe what happened next.
Harry reared, James holding on yelling "What are you doing?!" As he rose his horn glowed brighten than every and lightning erupted from the heavens. It raced on to his horn, and as he came to earth, a beam of lightning shot out hitting a Death Eater and clearing a path. "Go!" James yelled and Harry gallop through the gap. James parried a Death Eater blow but another hit his armor, it flash and disappeared as they passed the Death Eater and went into the area of the fight.
Voldemort saw the unicorn, with James on it's back, and Voldemort swung his sword as James jumped from Harry's back. Silence. Every noise stopped. Voldemort's sword was speeding through the air as James hit the ground next to Dumbeldore, and raised his sword. Voldemort's smash into James in a explosion of sparks. Voldemort let out an enraged cried . James attacked Voldemort with a powerful swing at his unguarded legs Voldemort jumped back.
"Harry get Dumbeldore out of here!" He yelled as he attack again. James swung low, and was blocked by Voldemort's blade, he flick his wrist and reversed the angle and swung up,again a block. Voldemort cried out and pushed James back, towards a tree. James' back hit the tree, and Voldemort swung with all his might. James rolled aside, and Voldemort's sword hit the wood, and stuck in it.
Dumbeldore was heaving himself up onto Harry's back as James came out of his rolled and slashed at Voldemort back. He yelled in pain, kick at James with the back of his leg, catching him in the mouth, James staggered away, blood trickling from his mouth. James looked up to see Dumbeldore on Harry's back "Go, get out of here!" He shouted as Voldemort charged again and was meet with by James' blade in in a mighty clash.
Harry galloped away, legs straining under the pressure of Dumbeldore, he was heavier than he thought. Harry shot lightning from his horn to clear another path through the Death Eaters. And he galloped to to Sirius, who had just marshaled the Aurors. He let Dumbeldore slip to the ground. and he changed back. Two Aurors help Dumbeldore to his feet. "Tend to his wounds" He called, and they lead Dumbeldore away, dazed.
Sirius told Harry "We'll mount a final charge break their lines, you stay here" Ron and Hermione advanced behind Harry "No Sirius, we're not let James fight alone out there" She pointed to Voldemort and James, who were still in a parry then swing routine. Sirius sighed, he saw fire in their eyes, there was nothing he could do. "But your unarmed" He said trying to reason "Wands are useless in hand-to-hand combat" Hermione walked to a dead Prism and picked up a rapier and long sword. She tossed the long sword to Ron. "There's something for you Ron and me, but what about Harry?"
Sirius opened his mouth but an Auror yelled out "Look!" Pointing to the sky. The looked up. Fawkes and Ember swooped in, and Fawkes dropped Godric Gryffindor's sword at Harry's feet. And then they both flew to Dumbeldore's side. Harry picked the blade. "I'm armed now" He said, fire filling his eyes also. Sirius sighed "All right but stay close to Lupin or me" He turned him back and yelled "Form up final charge!"
Lucius Malfoy saw this. Standing next to his son in the circle around Voldemort and James. He glance at them, they were still fencing the length of the circle neither willing to let the other win. So he took command "Death Eaters, form up, prepare to charge" They didn't move, and then he added "It's our Lord wish" They ran to obey. He took moved to the front, sword in hand. And saw the others standing ready. He cried out "CHARGE!" Sirius heard and responded "CHARGE!" They ran head long into each other. Malfoy had ran but the backed off. He saw Potter and the teachers gathering in the center, decimating his ranks. He called "Split them up!" Death Eaters charged into were Harry,Hermione and Ron ran next to Sirius. Ron was forced back out of the rush. A Death Eater attacking him. He blocked the first blow clumsily, but couldn't block the second, it cut a shallow cut across his chest.
He yelled out in pain, blood staining his robes. And red hot agony ripping his side apart. Clutching his side he staggered back. And the Death Eater raised his sword above his head, for the final fatal blow. Ron saw his opportunity, and with out hesitation drove his sword through the chest of the Death Eater. Ron look into the Death Eater's face. The light in his eyes disappeared, and he crumpled to the ground. He didn't have time to be shocked. But he knew what he had done, someone had just died, but he knew that it was either him or me. Be he stilled remember the looked on his face and couldn't shake it. His thought were broken by Hermione scream. He looked round to see her on the ground, burns all across her face and her robes burnt, a Prism above holding a spear. Ron charged.
Hermione had thrust with her rapier and missed, the Prism had used a fireball curse . It had trimmed her, but that was enough now her skin was blistered, cracked and felt like it was still on fire. Her face side and chest were all burnt. And she knew this was the end, tears came to her eyes, the pain was getting the better of her. She saw the face of the Prism. and grin across his face. and then it changed into one of horror, agony, the battle raged look in his eyes died, and so did he. As he fell he saw Ron and his bloody sword. He bent down and helped her up "Can you walk?" He asked. She nodded and she helped him to her feet. "Where's Harry" asked. And she saw him. On the ground Death Eaters with war hammer above.
Harry had rushed in swinging his sword, taking one In the chest, driving the blade deep. But as he withdrew his blade he's saw the man with a war hammer but was to slow to stop the blow. It knocked all the wind out of him, and he was hurled back. The Death Eater advanced and swung the hammer again, Harry rolled, but it hit his arm. He screamed, as he felt, and heard the bone break. And then again he heard it swing, it hit him in the chest, he screamed again, and felt white hot pain engulf his chest. Then he saw Ron running sword raised, he saw the Death Eater hammer raised, he closed his eyes and , a gurgling sound, and then hand grabbed him, he opened his eyes to see Ron and Hermione helping him up. "What happened ?" he asked Hermione "Don't ask" She said and the heard Sirius call. "They're fleeing, to me, NOW!"
Aurors ran to his command and Harry staggered, helped by Hermione and Ron on either side to walked to Sirius. He was about to ask what happened when Harry cried out "James look out!" James glance his way, Voldemort had been fighting, neck and neck, with not clear advantage, but now Voldemort strength was starting to win him the fight. And Harry had saw Voldemort sword come round below James blade. James swung his sword into Voldemort knocking his away. James came up nearly overbalancing, and Voldemort seized the chance. He gabbed James hands, both of them on sword and held them up as he drove his sword through his stomach and up through his chest. "NNNNNNNOOOOOO!" bellowed Hermione, Harry and Ron, but it was to late. The blade went straight through James stomach and up through his chest and out the top of his back. Hermione rush forwards but Ron held her back, "Don't he kill you too" and she cried out one more time.
James heard the calls distantly, and he fell to his knee. burning hot agony engulfing his chest, he found his worlds spinning, and found it hard to breath. Voldemort let go of James hand, and let the blade and his arms drop to James side, then he and laughed keeping his sword there and said "Here dies the great James Wills, descendent of Redric Carlson" James managed a laugh "Kill me, and then kill everyone I love, will you, NEVER!!!" With all his strength he swung his blade above sword of Voldemort, and cut a deep blow across his chest, and long, deep bloody gash forming as he cut the flesh across his chest. Voldemort staggered, and felt his own strength leaving him. Finally he said "You win this one, but I will kill you all, Death Eaters, returned to the Dark Fortress!" and with that he disappearedthe blade in James' chest with him. And so did every other Death Eater.
James heard the sound of running feet, and blood foamed at his mouth as his said "Bugger, I'd didn't kill him" And fell forwards. Hermione,Ron and Harry raced to his side. Blood flowed like a river, already a pool of it was around his body. Hermione turned James over, cradling his head and in a tearful voice cried out "James?" Uncertainty in her voice. James managed to rasp out "Hermione" Hermione took hope but knew it would last "James, please don't die, please, James we need you, I need you" James forced a grin "I'm sorry Herm' but I'm dying, there's nothing you can do" Harry manage to say, his voice also tearful "Don't be stupid James you'll live" James laughed, a bloody rasp, and blood trickled from his lips "Harry, I'm sorry but I'm dead" He turned his head to Hermione "Hermione, take this" With effort his hand reached into his robes, and pulled out a scroll. "Give it to my mother, she'll known what to do with it" She nodded, tears in her eyes. "Ron" He rasped "I'm here James" He said. taking his hand. James manage to say "Take my sword and shield, there yours" He nodded, he face tear stained and finally he turned to Harry. "Harry, I'm sorry but I can't give you any thing, but before it Hermione takes the scroll to mum, read it" He cough, coughing up blood, and then slowly,fighting for breath said "It, it can, bring your parents ,back" Then he said "Good bye, my friends" And his eyes misted over, his head lolled to one side. "James?" Harry asked, and Hermione began to weep, over then fallen body. James Wills had left this world,
