Disclaimer: This is not mine. None of it. So there. If you don't like it, sue me! Well, don't. But you know what I mean
So without further ado, THE STORY =)
~*~*~
Arabella Figg ran through her house frantically. She had just been summoned to Hogwarts because it was about to be attacked. Then she realised she couldn't find her wand.
She turned over furniture, tore through sheets of paper and completely ruined any fragile objects.
Finally, she found it hidden in her refrigerator. (She has no idea how it got there). She sighed in relief and flooed to Hogwarts.
She landed in Dumbledores office. She rushed to the platform where the Dumbledore, Mundungus, Remus and Bill were waiting.
"Arabella, you're here. We are planning to start attacking once the rest of the members are weakened."
"Right." she said, taking her place between Remus and Bill.
~*~*~
Meanwhile, Cornelius Fudge was hurrying through Hogsmeade towards Hogwarts. Everyone was babbling about something or other. One person came up and asked if he was here to help. Fudge answered he wouldn't help; he would do it alone.
The crowd looked extremely sceptical.
"Well it's not exactly a hard job. Just Stupefy him and bring him into the Ministry."
"So *he* is actually there?"
"Of course he is. Why else would I be coming all the way over here? Now I have to hurry, excuse me." Fudge brushed past the crowd.
Everyone stared after the minister in shocked silence.
"Isn't You-Know-Who prone to normal spells?" someone asked after a few seconds. The crowd broke into excited chatter.
~*~*~
Arabella paced nervously. She was about to go and make the first real attack. The lower members of the Order were weakening and she was chosen to be the first one to attack.
After what seemed like an eternity, it was time to go. She gathered up her courage and walked into the mass of bodies. She pushed her way until she was near the front.
She shot a few Stunners at Death-Eaters and ducked as one came her way. She was soon joined by Remus Lupin. He helped her fight and Bill came soon after. She had no idea where Dumbledore was, but she'd deal with that later.
~*~*~
Fudge opened the door to Hogwarts. There was no one around.
He looked curiously around. Then he heard a noise of shouting beyond the doors. He hurried over and opened them.
He was met with chaos. People were running around shooting curses, and even killing curses.
'Worse than I expected' He thought.
He pushed his way to the front of the crowd, and nearly fainted. Lord Voldemort was standing in front of the crowd, shooting the Unforgivables at everyone.
A blue light shot towards Fudge, and he fell down unconscious.
~*~*~
Harry stared out of the window nervously. He could see all the fighting but he wasn't allowed to join in. Dumbledore had forbidden anyone to go outside.
A few injured Order members had come in the room and gone to the room where Madam Pomfrey was waiting.
Ron and Ginny were sitting opposite each other on a table. They were glaring at each other, and Harry wouldn't be surprised if they were playing footsies under the table. He ducked down to check.
Just as he had predicted, they were. He grinned and looked up at them. Ron had transferred his glare to Harry, and Ginny had moved hers to Hermione.
Harry checked the clock. It had only been an hour since the Death Eater had arrived, but it seemed like more.
The hours dragged on. Finally, Harry heard some shouts. He glanced out of the window.
As far as he could see, there weren't any Death Eaters. He was itching to go outside and see what was going on, but Dumbledore had said he would tell him when he was allowed to come out.
Ginny looked over to where Harry was sitting. She walked over to him and squeezed his hand reassuringly. He smiled at her, but continued staring out the window. She sighed, it was no use trying to get him to concentrate on something else, he would sit here until he was allowed to go out.
After several more unsuccessful attempts to get Harry's attention, Ginny flopped on the floor near Harry's feet.
Most people had gone to their rooms since it was getting late, but Harry was going to stay, and since there was nothing better to do, she was too.
Harry suddenly sat up straighter, he went rigid in his chair. Ginny knew what this meant, someone injured was coming in.
Sure enough, the door opened and a man literally fell in. He had fainted onto the floor.
Ginny stood up and tried to wake him to no success. She the tried to drag him into the room down the corridor where Madam Pomfrey was busily healing all the hurt people.
"Harry. I need help." Ginny reminded Harry.
"Oh. Right. Sorry." Harry got up and picked up the man and walked to the makeshift infirmary.
Ginny stared after him, admiring his strength. She took up his spot at the window and looked out. You could see little bits of fighting in the distance, but that was it.
Suddenly, the corridor started filling up with people. It looked like they were celebrating. The door opened with a bang and people streamed in. Some headed for the infirmary, and some lounged on the chairs.
Ginny ran up to the closest person, (who was only about a metre away) and asked him what happened.
"We got rid of the Death Eaters and You-Know-Who disappeared somewhere. He's nowhere to be found and we won this battle!"
Ginny grinned and told Harry, who had returned, and was looking curiously at everyone.
"We won!" Ginny squealed.
Harry's face split into a grin and he spun Ginny around. Harry hugged her and dragged her off to listen to exactly what happened.

A/N: Done at last! It took ages but I bet no one noticed, since we didn't get any reviews. But who cares? I'm not writing for reviews. (Soldie is though)
Ok. Here's a preview of what Soldie has to write and I get to make up. *cackles evilly*
Chapter 5: Padfoot
Lessons start, reactions to seeing a (Supposedly) mass murderer. More fighting between Harry and Ron!
