Chapter Twenty-Three
Harry ran behind Astra with the body of dean over his shoulder. Astra had helped in getting him to feel lighter, but it was still slow in going. He looked behind him and saw dozens of lights coming from inside the forest.
Harry saw Dumbledore come outside. Harry ran as best as he could to him. "Professor! Professor!" Harry yelled. It was getting more difficult to run.
He finally reached Dumbledore. "Get inside, quickly, Harry...!" He whispered harshly. "Get inside now!"
Harry ran for the main entrance and saw Astra's hands pull him inside. Harry put Dean onto the stone floor. He heard a few of the girls scream. "Oh my God!"
Professor Snape ran, with McGonagall trailing behind him, up to the door. They each picked up one end of a long, heavy looking wooden bar and put into through the lock slots of the door. Professor McGonagall whipped around to Hermione. "Get everyone to their houses!"
Hermione nodded curtly and ran off to the prefects. Harry slid to the ground slowly, his scar was throbbing painfully. McGonagall knelt down next to him, her skirts flowing over his feet.
Something occurred to Harry suddenly. "Professor Dumbledore! He's out there! We've got to lift the bar! He's still out there!"
McGonagall hushed him. "Professor Dumbledore told us to do that.... He'll be fine... You, however, and Miss Knight, need to get up to Gryffindor Tower."
Astra's hands wrapped around Harry's shoulders and hefted him up. "Let's get goin'... there's nothing we can right now..." Astra said.
Harry shook his head. "There is! We've got to get out there and help Professor Dumbledore!"
"Let's go Harry!" Ron shouted.
Astra grabbed Harry's robes and dragged him to the portrait hole. The Fat Lady looked white as a sheet. Harry couldn't remember the password at the moment. "No need, dearie... go on inside now!" Astra dragged Harry into the common room.
The common room was buzzing with fear and excitement. Harry saw Seamus was as white as a sheet and saw Ron and Hermione cradling eachother like he was going to lose at any moment.
Harry glanced around. He saw Denis with one of the younger girls. She was crying heavily in Denis' shoulder. Harry looked around and couldn't find the one person he was looking for.
"Ron! Ron!" Harry shouted.
Ron snapped out of his glaze and stared up at Harry, white as a sheet. "Ron! Where's Ginny!"
"I thought she came up with you two!" Ron said.
Harry got a sick feeling in his stomach. "No... She can't be out there..." Harry muttered. He felt like retching at that moment.
Astra looked like she was debating something. Suddenly, her head snapped up. "She is out there! I can hear her!" she said.
Harry felt tears coming to his eyes. All he could think was of Ginny lying like on the ground dead like Dean or Justin. "We've got to get out there... We've got to get out of here!"
"You can't, Harry! They've barred the main entrance!" Hermione said, her brown eyes glistening with tears. "Dumbledore will help her!"
"No! We've got to get out there!" Harry said. "We have to!"
Avalon was by the window, Kennedy holding her protectively around her waist. She looked like peace incarnate. Her expression was calming as she gazed out the window. Harry felt his fear begin to ebb away as he stared.
He walked over to the window to see what she was watching. He stood next to her and stared out the window with her. Harry saw nothing. There was nothing outside. "The endgame has come... you are the one to finish...." He heard Avalon's voice break into his haze.
Harry snapped around, but noticed that everyone had stopped. It was as though time had stopped. Avalon was the only other person moving. She gazed up at him and smiled. "You are the one, Harry... You are the one to finish this...."
Then, time resumed. Harry saw that Avalon wasn't looking at him now. She was still gazing through the window. He followed her gaze and saw a small body with flaming hair lying on the ground. "Ginny...." he whispered.
Suddenly, The whole of Gryffindor shook as though in an earthquake. Harry fell to the ground. "Ow!"
"He's attacking the castle!" shouted someone.
"Everyone get down!" Harry shouted.
Another earthquake type tremor racked Gryffindor tower. "He's trying to get in!" shouted someone from across the room.
"Everyone, calm down!" Hermione shouted.
Harry had had enough. He stood up and ran up the boys staircase. He ran into his dorm room and went through his trunk. He found his invisibility cloak and threw it around him.
Astra was in the common room, trying to keep herself from getting hit by the debris falling from the ceiling. Nevaeh was helping a few of the younger students to stay calm. They were sequestered in a small corner where the debris wouldn't fall on them.
The castle shook again. Astra steadied herself as though she were on a boat on a stormy ocean. She suddenly felt something hit her shoulder. She grabbed whatever it was and it stopped. She knew who it was.
She glanced around and lifted the cloak, ducking under it before anyone noticed. "Astra! Get beck out there! I have to do this alone!" Harry whispered harshly at her.
"You aren't the only one that has a destiny, Harry..." she growled. "Let's get going before someone notices...."
Harry glared at her. "Harry... we need to get out there... My fifth year prediction is going to hold true tonight..." she growled.
Harry remembered the prediction. It made his blood run cold in his veins. He nodded curtly and they snuck out of the portrait hole. The Fat Lady was babbling in a confused manner. "What? Who was that! Who are you!"
They ran along the corridors. Harry saw teachers running every direction as the castle shook underneath their feet. Professor Snape showed up out of no where. He was whiter than usual.
Professor McGonagall showed up and stumbled as another tremor shook the castle. "Severus!" she shouted. She went into a coughing fit as some dust fell down on her.
Snape trotted over to her and held her. "Minerva.... This castle can't hold up much longer!"
"I know, Severus... I know..." she coughed again. Harry saw tears streak her face. She held onto Snape with such ferocity that Harry was sure that she would crack Snape's ribs.
"I won't let him hurt you...." Snape said. "I promise..." Then, he pulled her chin up and kissed her passionately on the lips. She clutched his black robes and kissed back with the same passion. "I love you..." he whispered.
Astra nudged Harry in his back and Harry walked forward. They ran along the corridors to the main entrance. Harry glanced around and nodded Astra to the other side of the bar.
"No need... I feel that I can lift this right now..." she smiled at him. He lifted the cloak over her and she lifted the bar as easily as though she were lifting a book laden bag. She put it on the ground and Harry opened the doors.
"We need to close it behind us... there's no turning back if we fail...." Astra said.
Harry thought of a locking spell and instructed Astra to take her wand out as well. They each produced a locking spell that made the doors close with as much ferocity as the castle tremors.
They ran under the cloak until they saw Professor Dumbledore. He was in a wizard duel with Lord Voldemort. "The circle is now complete, Dumbledore...." said Voldemort with a grin. "When I left you, I was but a learner..... NOW I am a Master..."
"Only a master of evil, Voldemort...." said Dumbledore. He just stood with his wand ready for a battle. The deatheaters were the one's attacking the school. Harry thought he saw a couple of trolls beating on the walls.
Voldemort sneered and flicked his wand. A spell shot out at Dumbledore and he ducked it, sending out a spell of his own. "Your powers are weak, old man..." said Voldemort. Then, he sent out another spell.
Dumbledore blocked the spell. Harry thought he saw Dumbledore stumble slightly, as if out of breath. Then, he straightened up and stared at Voldemort. "You can't win, Voldemort.... If you strike me down..." Dumbledore gave a wry smile. "I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine...."
Voldemort growled angrily and lunged at Dumbledore. "You should never have taken over the school!"
"My, my... did I hit a nerve?" smirked Dumbledore. "I rather miss the old boy that smiled at me when I called him by name. Tom Riddle..."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!!!!!" Voldemort sent out spell after spell. Suddenly, Dumbledore fell to the ground. Harry felt Astra hold onto his arm tightly.
Voldemort walked over to Dumbledore and sneered down at him. "Leg locker curse... I wanted you to witness your precious school be blown to smitherines, but I see that this has gone on long enough. Good bye, Dumbledore." Then, Voldemort lifted his wand and brought it down, sending out a green shot of light.
Harry broke away from Astra and threw off the cloak, taking his wand out in the same movement. "Voldemort!"
Astra grabbed her wand. Suddenly, she was on the ground. It didn't register until a second later that someone was on top of her. She saw two very large hawk like, yellow eyes staring into her eyes. A sick smile spread across Donovan's face.
She struggled to get away from him, but he had her pinned to the ground. "You can't get away from me now, little star...." he said. There was something like a demented gleam in his eyes.
"Help!" she cried.
Harry heard Astra, but he couldn't take his eyes away from Voldemort. He cursed silently at not being able to help her. "Where's Ginny!" He growled at Voldemort.
"Oh... you mean...." Voldemort did something fancy with his hands and Ginny suddenly appeared in his arms. Her face was as white as marble and she hung limply in Voldemort's long arms. Her flaming hair fell around her. "This little one?" Voldemort smirked at Harry.
"She's quite a fighter, you know... very lovely...." Voldemort caressed a long finger down Ginny's white cheek. She stirred a little bit, but then settled back. A smiled crossed Voldemort's lips and he gazed up at Harry with his red eyes gleaming with amusement.
"Let her go...." Harry growled.
"Oh... I don't think so... she's much too pretty..." Voldemort said with cold laughter.
Astra kicked Donovan in his groin and slid out from underneath him. Donovan growled and rolled on the ground in pain. Astra smiled at her success. Suddenly, pain ripped through her arm.
She was able to block most of Zillia's attack, only suffering a minor gash. Blood seeped though her sweater. Zillia smiled coldly at Astra. "You hurt him... how dare you..." Zillia growled.
"I'm sorry about that, but you might want to keep a leash on your demented boy toy!" Astra growled as she gripped her arm.
Zillia licked the blood off of her claw like hands. "It was fun killing them.... all of them..." she laughed.
Astra growled. She let her hand hit the ground as she lashed her foot out to connect with Zillia's neck. Zillia went down choking. "Insta clothes-line!" Astra smirked as she stood back up.
Zillia got to her feet and Astra took out her wand. "Electrosa!" Astra growled. Zillia was hit with a blue-white light that spread around her. She convulsed on the ground like she was being electrocuted.
The smell of burnt hair emanated off of Zillia's steaming body. Astra coughed involuntarily and started to turn around. She was struck across the face, sending her to the ground. Someone picked her up and threw her against a tree.
Astra tasted blood in her mouth. She felt it trickle out of the one of the corners as she slid down the rough bark of the tree. She felt hands lift her up and slam her against the tree again.
One of the hands left her shoulders and lifted her chin up. She opened her eyes and gazed into those yellow orbs. Donovan smiled again. "How about a dance before I kill you..." he said.
"Go to hell, Donovan..." Astra coughed.
"I plan to, but not before I send you there with me..." he whispered to her. His face was mere inches from hers. "I have always wanted to taste your blood...." he said seductively as he flicked his tongue against the corner of her mouth.
Astra felt his mouth on hers. She felt him deepen the kiss, sending her mind into overload. She felt limp, like her energy was being sucked out of her through his kiss. She knew she had to get away from him before she was too weak to fight him.
Suddenly, something knocked him away. She slid down the bark of the tree again. Someone lifted her up and she opened her eyes. She saw Sirius smiling down at her. "I hath saved you again, my lady...." he grinned. "Better get you up before he regains consciousness." he said to her.
Astra felt a little stronger now. She staggered away from the tree and picked up her wand. "We need to help Harry..." Astra said.
"I know... the question is how... Remus is inside the school right now, so he can't help...." Sirius said.
Sirius was hit by a rather large tree branch. He was thrown twenty feet away by the force. Astra turned and saw Donovan grinning madly at her. "I'm not through with you, bitch!"
Donovan lunged at her. Astra couldn't block him. She felt something pierce her skin, running through her body. She felt the blood running down her torso. She felt unconsciousness setting in. She was dying.
Harry saw her fall to the ground in a heap with a long, sharp pole sticking out of her. Donovan ripped the pole out of her and turned it upright. He ran his tongue along the point, tasting the blood.
Harry felt sick. Astra was lying on the ground with blood spilling across the ground. Voldemort dropped Ginny on the ground and sneered at Harry. "I see your safety net has been demolished."
"Astra..." Harry whispered in a shaky voice.
He crawled over to Astra and cradled her head and shoulders in his arms. Harry caught sight of Sirius jumping from the ground onto Donovan. Sirius had turned into the big black dog and was ripping Donovan's clothes.
Harry turned around, still holding onto Astra. Voldemort seemed forget about Ginny, since she still lay on the ground where he had dropped her. Harry couldn't ask for anything better. He only hoped that she would wake up before Voldemort remembered about her.
Voldemort advanced on Harry. He lifted his wand and brought it down. "Avada Kedavra!" Harry waited for the impact. The sound of death rushing towards him. He heard a scream and someone fall in front of him. Wormatil fell to the ground, cold and white. His silver hand was gone now. He had saved Harry.
"Damnable, wretched traitor!" Voldemort growled and brought the wand down again. Harry clutched Astra. He saw bright light surround him. He heard the sound of rushing death. He felt his life ebb away. Then,.... he saw nothing....
