~.~CHAPTER ONE OF THE BATTLE~.~

"So Bella, I see you're still Voldie dears' lapdog!" Cylia said, avoiding the Cruciatus curse.

"At least I know how to stay loyal, Cylia," sneered Bellatrix.

"Aah, you wouldn't know what loyalty is if it bit you in your friggin' arse," said Cylia.

"That's right," came a familiar voice.

Cylia and Bellatrix turned around and saw Sirius.

"Ah, my dear cousin!" Bellatrix said in mock-happiness.

"Who you thought you killed," snarled Sirius, walking in front of Cylia.

"Sirius, what're you doing?" muttered Cylia.

"Saving your butt," replied Sirius quietly.

"I don't need your sav----ah!" she fell to the floor and began twitching.

Sirius pointed his wand at Bellatrix and shouted, "Petrificus Totalus!"

Bellatrix's body became as stiff as a board and her eyes were rolling in all sorts of directions.

"Thanks," panted Cylia, standing up.

"Anytime………but you owe me," he said.

"Ah shut up!" she said and ran off to find somebody to dual with.

"Ah, Cylia……….." Cylia turned around and saw Dolohov.

"COLLOPORTUS!" cried Cylia, pointing her wand, which she had inserted some of her magic into, at him.

He flew back and she snickered.

Cylia looked to the right and saw Ginny and Draco climbing up a rope to get to the top of the Great Hall, unnoticed.

She saw Alex and sniggered.

"OI! ALEX!!" she yelled.

He turned around and started walking towards her, his dark mark burning in his arm.

"Hello, Cylia. Ready to dual?" he asked, a maniac smile on his face.

"Only if you're ready to lose," she said sweetly.

"One, two, THREE!" she yelled.

He tried to do a curse, but she already cried, "Scourgify!" pointing her wand at him.

Bubbles were forming in his mouth, suffocating him.

"Don't mess with Cylia Riddle," called James.

She rolled her eyes and walked to find another death eater.

She saw Hermione setting up her Muggle gun when she looked into the corner on the right side of the staff table.

As she was walking, she saw Harry and Pansy fighting off Blast Ended Screwts, which were brought by Death Eaters.

"WHERE'S HAGRID WHEN YA NEED HIM, EH!?" called Cylia.

Pansy chuckled and Harry snickered.

Cylia ran to Christina's side.

Christina was fighting two Death Eaters' at one time.

"Lucius," snarled Cylia.

"Cylia," he snarled back.

"You take Avery, I'll take Lucius," Cylia muttered to Christina.

Christina nodded and all four of them became engulfed in serious dueling.

"So how does it feel….…knowing that your own son and wife hate your guts?" asked Cylia.

Lucius ignored her.

"Yep, Mrs. Malfoy came and told me EVERYTHING! How you had her under the Imperius Curse……..How you always hit her. Then of course Draco told me about how you always threatened him. And Hermione told me about that threat you made to her," Cylia continued.

"Shut up," he said the gritted teeth.

"And not to mention, I also found out about Amelia…… you know, your daughter!" she said.

"I warned you!" he shouted. "Avada Kedavra!" he growled.

"Protego!" she said. The killing curse reflected and hit him.

He fell to the ground, eyes open and dead.

"You did it because you had to," Sirius said, walking up to her.

"I know," she said in an unconvincing tone.

"YOU KILLED HIM!" screeched Bellatrix, running up to them.

"And your point is……..?" Cylia questioned.

"You---You'll pay!" Bellatrix snarled.

"I'm so scared," Cylia said dramatically.

"You ought to be!" Bellatrix said and disappeared.

"Wench," muttered Cylia.

"Too true," said Sirius and he walked away to help Pansy, who was currently fighting Wormtail.

"OI! HARRY! WHERE'S RON!?" yelled Cylia.

"I'M RIGHT HERE!" yelled Ron.

It looked like he was tending some students who were injured.

Cylia ran over.

"Listen, I'll stay with these students. Find either Stacey or Oliver and bring them here," said Cylia.

Ron nodded.

Ron stood up and ran around, trying to find either Stacey or Oliver.

One little girl began to stir.

"Hello, I'm Cylia. What's your name?" Cylia said politely.

"Summer Simmons," she answered.

"How're you feeling?" asked Cylia.

"Okay, I guess. I'm scared," whimpered Summer.

"Shh," Cylia embraced Summer.

There was a loud bang and Summer sobbed.

"Shh, it's okay," whispered Cylia, rocking Summer back and forth.

Ron returned with Stacey.

"Summer? Go with Professor Potter," said Cylia.

Summer nodded and Stacey picked up Summer and walked towards the chamber Harry went through in his forth year when his name was announced.

"Well, I've done most of my part it this mess," muttered Cylia and she went to healing as many students as she could.
