~Hola!~

Please don't kill me for not updating. I am soooo sorry! I was busy but I have a lot of spare time right now. I can probably right a chapter or two tonight, and than in just a few days, summer vacation, so it'll all come than! The normal standards apply: I don't own the characters.

"Anyone know what the hell a 'You-know-who' is?" Lulu asked Yuna and Kimahri. They were now inside the Great Hall, with the entire school peeing their pants in fear. "I have no idea.." Yuna answered. "Whatever it is, it must be strong to frighten them. Could it be Yu-Yevon?" the Ronso warrior added. The Spirians exchanged slightly nervous glances. What if "You-know- who" was the wizard's strange equivalent of Sin?

Harry Potter, famous for his stand-offs with Voldemort, was scared. He didn't show it to his friends, but his scar tore with pain, his head was about to spilt open with pain. His two companions, however, lacked the self- control of their famous friend. Ron was literally shaking, and Hermione could not read or do homework. Harry looked around, and he himself had to wonder what could happen. Surely Voldemort would not attack Hogwarts, not when he knew Dumbledore was here. Would he? Had he grown that much in strength?

Auron was the only human being in the school not huddled inside the hall. He, of course, was just outside the entrance to the Hall, casually sipping sake from the jug at his hip. Just than, he heard footsteps approaching.

"Who's there?!" he called out, drawing the Masamune.

"It's me," a figure, still shrouded in shadows, responded.

"Hmph, you."

Dumbledore entered the Great Hall. Everyone silenced, looking to him, the one person who could equal Voldemort, the man they believed could keep them safe. He cleared his throat, and prepared to speak to the crowd. "Say it isn't true." Harry mumbled under his breath. "It's true," Dumbledore began, "the Dark Lord is in the vicinity. He has come here, with intentions to murder me.and everyone who will get in his way." The crowd murmured. This was their worst nightmare coming to life. "Students, prepare to evacuate the building.. Teachers, guard the students. I will go by myself to settle the matter myself." Immediately, there was an uproar. "I'll go with yer!" Hagrid bellowed. "Surely that is not a wise decision, headmaster!" The other professors yelled out. "I must!" the headmaster screamed to the wild crowd. He knew they were concerned about him, but it was better for him to face Voldemort before the innocent students got involved. "I can and will face Voldemort so that you all may be safe. If you all escape, than it is worth whatever price I must pay."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and every other student were all in pure shock. He really wasn't going to sacrifice himself for them, was he? Dumbledore just couldn't.. he could never die!

"I am willing to sacrifice myself for each of you," Dumbledore stated, a tear forming in his eye.

Suddenly, the door to the Great Hall was busted open.

"That won't be necessary, Gramps!" yelled a cheerful, bright voice.

The entire Hall turned around to see who had arrived, half expecting to see Voldemort just before he murdered them all. But no, the voice was much too happy for any murderer. Yuna, however, instantly recognized who it was. She could never forget that person, and all they had done for her.
