I do not own Harry Potter.
The four of them had been awake for two hours, and their prisoner was still asleep. After being released from the hospital wing, they quickly went up to Dumbledore's office. Magonagal and Snape were there also.
"Harry, could you tell me what happened six days ago?"
"The school was attacked, be defended it."
"How many death eaters did you kill?"
"There were five divisions of 100 deatheaters each. I think we killed most of them."
Snape and Magonagal were just sitting still with shock. The explanations took several hours. Finally, Snape asked a question.
"The school is still under seige, so how do you supose that we end it?"
Harry looked at Snape and smiled.
"Challenge Voldermort to a duel."

"What do we do?"
"Except the challenge, of course."
"But master . . ."
"He is powerfull, I will give him that much. More powerfull than I was at his age."
"Master . . ."
"And he had better teachers too. And resourses, and . . ."
"Master?"
"Stop questioning me. Order the siege over, only a few of us will stay. We will except to duel."
"Master . . ."
"Stop questioning me or I will kill you right here and now."
"Yes Master."
"This ends tomorrow morning. One way or the other."
"Yes Master."
"Go to the castle and deliver the message."
"Me, Master?"
"What did I tell you about questioning me?"
"Forgive me master, I was just supprised. I expected that you would send it my owl, or possibly someone much more expendable. Lucious Malfoy, for example, or Servus Snape."
Don't think that you are not expendable.
"Yes, perhaps you are right. Order Lucious to go to Dumbledore. No more of this cloak and dagger buisness either. Order him to make sure that Dumbledore sees who he is. And he is to do nothing other than deliver the message, not even glare at a child. Even if he is captured."
"I would expect that he would be . . ."
"As you said, expendable."
"Yes Master."
"You are dismissed."
At last, tomorrow will be the day of reconing. It will start, tomorrow.
