Hogwarts is in sight as the dark lord guided his men into position. He could smell his victims and taste their blood. But when he reached the school grounds he felt an incredible barrier surrounding it.
Voldemort snarled and cursed his enemies.

"It seems that 'evil-wicked-bald guy' is pissed at Dumbledore's barrier," Leon said as he looked at the thousands of goblins and orcs waiting to get inside and destroy the school. Siren giggled at his joke but when she looked at the army of darkness, her gaze turned murderous.
"Calm down, Siren," Leon smiled at her. But his smile was sad and she felt it. "I miss her too." Loud barking could be heard and Leon turned to look at the north side of the school. "Looks like Cerberus share your sentiment."
"We share it all," Ginny said as she stood beside Leon.
"But sadness could be vanquished by the hearts of those who love," Hermione said, smiling at them. Carbuncle was wagging her tail and nodding in agreement. Leon smiled at them and was glad that they were there. Their smile made his heart calm despite its turmoil.
"They'll try to break the barrier," Leon said in all business but kept the smile. "They'll succeed in a few hours." The ground suddenly shook and they held each other for balance. Quickly looking outside, Leon saw that the dragons and the salamanders were hitting the barrier with their fiery breaths. Leon's eyebrow was up in amusement.
"You're seeing history," he said in a professor's fashion. "Dragons and salamanders working together." He shook his head and sighed. "I hate it when they are used in evil." Ginny shares his sentiment. Somehow he didn't want those poor creatures controlled.
"My brother Charlie would love to be here to see that," Ron said as he walked towards them. Hermione gaped as she saw him.
He wore black slacks and a black vest but they seemed to suit him well. She could see how well defined he was with his get up and looked... sexy. Now she was glad she said yes. Hermione unconsciously rubbed her engagement ring and sighed.
"No way!" Ginny exclaimed happily as she saw a shine coming from Hermione's hand. Carbuncle jumped from Hermione's arms just as Ginny grabbed Hermione's hand and looked at the diamond ring, squealing in delight. Ginny hugged Hermione while jumping in pure joy.
"Nice ring," Leon smiled.
"YOU picked it for me, remember?" Ron said in the corner of his mouth. The girls were happily chatting, fussing over the ring.
"When?" Ginny asked.
"Two days ago," Hermione said proudly.
"I wish I had a ring like that," Ginny sighed. Leon smirked obliquely and looked into the shadows.
"I'm surprised that my brother had the guts after all," Ginny said. Siren laughed out loud, her voice was melodic and causing Ron to blush.
"What are you talking about?" Ron said defensively. "I always had guts."
"The problem is he looses it when he sees Hermione," Harry said as he entered the light. Now it was Ginny's turn to gape.
Harry was wearing leather. He wore leather pants with belts and buckles on his right thigh. He also had leather boots that also had buckles. He had a white t-shirt that gripped his torso in a way that showed his finely defined pectorals and abs. He wore two red belts that hung from each his waist, crossing within each other.
His leather jacket was open and came short near the waist. It had white fur around its collar and made Harry a hunk.
"Wow," Ginny said as she looked him over.
"Professor," Harry squirmed under the girl's stares.
"I don't think it's complete," Leon said as he took Harry's glasses from his eyes and it vanished.
"Professor! He can't see," Ginny was alarmed but Leon waved his hand over Harry's eyes, he blinked and looked around.
"I can see clearly," Harry smiled as he tested his eyes. With another wave of his hand, Leon fixed Harry's hair so that it was slightly calmer but still was mildly wild. I can't believe this!"
Ginny couldn't believe it either. It has been a while since she saw Harry without his glasses and he looked marvelous. She blushed as she thought him gorgeous.
"One more thing," Leon gave Harry a pair of black gloves that he wore. "I have something for you." Leon got a long rectangular case from behind him. Harry didn't notice the case before. He knew he saw it in Leon's office once but paid no attention to it afterwards.
Opening the case, Harry frowned in confusion and awe. It was a sword like no other he had seen. Its handle and hilt was that of a revolver. The blade was half a foot wide and about five feet long. It gleamed in sharpness and made it look elegant. The grip of the revolver was slanted, allowing for better grip in slashes and thrusts. Taking the sword, Leon opened the chambers and loaded it.
Upon loading it, Leon snapped the chamber back in place and handed it formally to Harry.
"Your blade, Sir Potter," Leon smiled. Harry tentatively took the blade and hefted it in his hands.
"It's light," Harry said as he swung the sword.
"It's made of mythril, of course its light," Leon said as he looked outside. They were still pounding on the barrier and Leon knew it would not last.
"What's it called?" Hermione asked as she admired the blade.
"The general term would be, obviously, gunblade," Leon said, not taking his eyes away from the enemy. "The sword is called Lionheart." All of them looked at him in shock and surprise.
"It was made for me in the late eighteenth century by elven sword smiths. It used to be a gate loader like those western revolvers but I had it upgraded," Leon frowned when he saw a small crack in the barrier. "When you pull the trigger when slashing, it adds more force to the slash."
"But why give it to me?" Harry asked. Ginny was curious too but remembered what Shiva said to her yesterday.
/"Relax Ginny, I bet that you four would come out of this unscathed"/
Ginny knew what he was about to answer. "My time has come and this will be my final strike," Leon said with a deep sigh but smiled when he looked at his students.
"Once that barrier falls, magic will not be a factor in this battle," Leon said as he nodded to Siren. "It will create confusion and with luck, my friends will come to help. This will be a battle of endurance and skill. So prepare yourselves."
"What will you do?" Ron asked. Leon only smiled and looked at him cryptically.
"In any case," Leon said, ignoring Ron's question. "My time has passed, Harry Potter. You are the guardian of the summoner. I leave everything in your charge." Leon smiled and removed his necklace. He gave the ring one last look and handed it to Harry.
"Hold this for me," he smiled and looked outside. Frowning at the request, Harry wore his necklace and looked at the ring. Sighing, Harry smiled at Ginny.
Ginny took Shiva's ring from her pocket and looked at Leon. Sighing, she wore the necklace in honor of her friend, so that Shiva was with them in this final battle.
/She'll always be with you/ Phoenix said and that gave her great comfort.
Ron stood by Hermione's side and held her hand. Smiling softly at him, Hermione kissed him and Ron returned it with much passion in his heart.
Ginny and Harry looked at them and smiled. Looking at each other Harry kissed her on the cheek and smiled lovingly at her.
Harry suddenly noticed Leon as he rubbed his ring finger. Feeling like a git, Harry silently cursed himself and took out the box Leon gave him.
Harry knelt before Ginny, who was confused and nervous. Ron noticed this and shook Hermione. She smiled as she saw it too.
"Virginia Weasley," Harry's voice faltered. He was having a hard time holding his courage. But looking at Leon, the professor mouthed the words that brought back his courage and even more.
"No Regrets," Leon mouthed. Breathing deeply to remove his nervousness, Harry continued.
Harry opened the velvet box and the most beautiful engagement ring that Ginny had ever seen, glittered like a star.
"I had regretted that I hadn't seen you as who you are before," Harry said. He had to say this before he backed out. But it was too late for that. "I had regretted that we could be something more when we had all the time in the world. I also regretted a lot of thing in the past but I do not regret what I am about t do."
"Harry... I..." Ginny was speechless, she was also in a verge of crying but she waited. She had waited for years, what's one more minute.
"Virginia Weasley, will you become my wife?" there he had asked. If she said no, he would be crushed but he didn't have regrets. But either answer, he thought he was prepared but wasn't.
"Yes, Harry James Potter. I would gladly share my life, soul and heart to the person who already earned all of it through the years," Ginny was already crying when she said those words. Harry gave a sigh of relief and placed the ring on her finger.
Standing up, Harry kissed his fiancé with all the love, the passion and the life he had. Ginny merely returned it tenfold.
"So..." Ron said as he smiled. "Shall we make it a double wedding?"
"Why not?" Hermione shrugged and smiled at the newly coupled fiancés.
"No regrets," Leon said as he smiled.
"Ginny Potter!" Carbuncle suddenly exclaimed. All of them looked at the cute little green creature in surprise and looked at Leon.
"It does have a nice ring to it," Hermione smiled at Carcuncle.
"And Hermione Weasley doesn't?" Ron asked defensively.
"As I had said. She has a mind of her own," all of them laughed. And Leon cherished the moment. Their moment of mirth suddenly came to a halt when another quake shook the school. Leon peered outside and saw a large crack in the barrier.
"It's time," he said and walked towards the main entrance. "Ron, Hermione, Ginny. You three will stay inside." There was a row of protest but Leon lifted his hand to stop them.
"There will be some that will get through us," Leon said as he searched his coat pocket. "I need you three to protect the students. You're the only one I trust." From his pocket, Leon took out a black lamp and gave it to Hermione. "Use this if your back is against a wall. I'll send help once it arrives."
"How are you going to fair against the dragons?" Ginny asked worriedly. Leon merely smiled cryptically.
"We'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to him, Lady Weasley," Leon bowed and smiled. "Go to the entrance to the dungeons. Guard the stairway. Help the students if any get through."
"I'll be fine," Harry promised Ginny and followed Leon with his gunblade. Siren smiled and kissed the three each in the cheek. The all blushed as the beautiful angel followed Leon.
"That was for luck," Leon said as he reached the main door.
"Good luck, Angelian," Ginny said with a smile. Leon stopped and looked at her. For a moment Ginny thought that he would be angry but was surprised when he smiled.
"I haven't gone by that name since Lana died," he smiled at them and waved. "Thank you for reminding me who I really am." With that, he, Harry and Siren was out of the school.
"So..." Hermione said when they headed to the dungeons. "What shall we do to pass the time?" Ginny had a smile that could frighten the Weasley twins in mischief.
"We could think of names for our children," Ginny said. This made Ron stop in his tracks.
"Oh, boy," he sighed and rubbed his head for the expected migraine.

A/n: Do NOT get angry with me. Pleeeaaasssseee?? If you know whose costume I made Harry wear, do not hold it against me.
To Aurora Barrett: I would love to follow your suggestion and send my story to Lady Rowling, however, she'll probably have my ASS in a lawsuit. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I'm touched that you made it actually. Thanks again.
