February 28th.
I was sitting side by side with Harry. We were looking out the window in the common room. It was about 3 in the morning and no one was out besides us. I looked at my brother and put an arm around his shoulders.
"Don't worry H. All will be good," I said.
"Things never go good for me," Harry muttered.
"Same here. My life is one big screw up," I said leaning back.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Harry asked.
"My life was really crappy before I came here. I rather face moldy-wart again rather than going back," I answered quietly.
"Why was it so bad?"
"You don't want to know bro. Don't want to upset you before our war," I ruffled his hair.
"Can't be as bad as my summers," Harry muttered.
"Much worse," I sighed.
"Tell me. I want to know about you before you came into my world," Harry said.
"Well I didn't have much of a family. I had a sister, but she died. My mom always blamed me and I didn't care. Dad died from a drunk drive a month later and my mom made me move to St. Louis where I met Prue. Life perk up a bit? Hell no. Mom went nuts. Always drinking never, going to work, and starting to slowly drip into insanity. Leo was all the way across the country and I had no money to go see him. SO one day in the mail I get two plane tickets to come to visit Leo. One for me, One for Prue. We left and my mom was even too drunk to notice. Prue fell in love with Leo's brother than they broke it of finally. We came back and things stayed the same. I came back from school one day and a Police officer was waiting. Prue was with me so we walked up to my house where he told me that my mom was getting arrested for drug use. Lucky me eh? So I started staying with friends, and finally started living with Prue. Leo didn't and still doesn't know about any of this happening. Don't tell him either. Hell of a life huh?"
Harry was silent.
"Bet the freaking elders didn't know that I would eventually find out I was a witch. So what do you think?"
"Nothing I say can describe what I think," Harry admitted.
I grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him into my room. I quietly grabbed a chest and brought him over onto my bed. I opened it and handed him a dagger with engravings on it.
"For tomorrow's fight. It was a gift to me from my sis. She would want you to have it," I whispered.
"I can't Kailie," he said.
"Harry, I mean it. It would make me feel better."
He took it and I grabbed a photo album as we walked back down to our previous spot. I handed it to him.
"Take a look. Have any questions ask."
He started looking. Then stopped at a picture.
"Who is everyone here?"
"Oh. The Charmed Crew Picture. Alright," I said then pointed to the person as I mentioned them. " Cougar who gets her name from her favorite animal, Val-Gal, our Xander who is famous for his world record of balancing a Twinkie on his nose, Travis the fastest kid who lived, Barbas for her quit wit, Coy Leo's brother, Ry and Ty the demolition twins who always crash during bike races because they look at the girls, Nicole, Willow for her hair that could out-win any Weasley, Me, Leo, and Melinda known for her relation to me, Brilliance, smart ass remarks, and her damn the world attitude."
"Where was this taken at?"
"Leo's place."
"Promise me you wont die tomorrow."
I looked at him shocked.
"You are the only family I have Kailie, don't act so shocked. If you died I would never be the same . I just met my only sister."
I hugged him and he was almost in tears.
"I promise."

Harry and I were in the teacher's common room for the pre-battle announcements.
"Act as normal as possible. Kailie got the spell down to perfection?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"No I was just sitting on my lazy ass these past couple months knowing that we're all going to die without it. God you think you could please have some Faith in me. Sheesh," I said
"You don't want any Faith in you Kailie," Buffy said.
"Hey B that's not fair. At least she's not falling for vampires," Faith said.
"No, but she's a mini- Piper. Falling for dead guys who are now angels," Phoebe said.
"Can we get off the topic of me please? I'm beginning to regret inviting you all," I said.
Dawn came over and put her arms around my neck.
"You don't mean that. After this is all done we'll silly string Snapey again if it makes you happy? Or," Dawn whispered in my ear.
"I vote for plan b on that one," I said.
Snape growled.
"Oh go put the stick out of your ass. It will do us all some good," Willow retorted.
"Every one ready?" Dumbledore asked.
I grabbed a dagger off the table and put it in the back of my belt.
"Ready as I'll ever be. Alright place your bets. Who ever kills the most death eaters wins," I said standing on the table and pulling out a piece of paper.
"$10 on Faith," Harry said.
"We got 10 on Faith. Any others?"
"15 on the Buffster," Xander said.
"Alright. How bout you G-man?"
"Do you have to call me that," Giles said.
"Yeah how much?"
"50 on The Charmed Trio Combined," Leo piped up.
"Double that," McGonagall said.
"How bout you Kailie?" Paige asked.
"I'm going on Willow. She can spell those dudes all the way to hell," I said. "Alright we still need bets from Snapey, Dumbledore, G-man and the charmed trio."
"50 on either slayer. Each," Snape said.
"30 on Willow also," Dumbledore said.
"We take 50 on Willow. Each," Piper piped up for the Charmed ones.
"Alright we all have to be honest. Count truthfully. Winners split the money. Money total in the bet is......... $280. All right everyone has to pay up or else Buffy and I get to kick some ass. Now lets party away," I said.
"And then Kick those Death eaters asses," Faith said as we all stormed out.
*****
Music blasted in the great hall. All the students were having a great time until the doors flew open and a bunch of death eaters stood there.
" Everyone gather in the center!" Harry, Leo, and I yelled.
All the students huddled in the middle while the fighters were surrounding them ready to protect them from the Death Eaters. I sat on top of a table then closed my eyes and held my hands toward the group. I muttered some words in Latin then a green shield formed around the students.
"Damn it why do I always have to get dizzy," I said.
Harry helped me up and then we got out our weapons. The great fight began. The 7th and 6th years were hurdling curses at the death eaters to help the people fighting.
"Harry! Duck!" I screamed.
He ducked and a death eater got hit by another's curse. Harry stood and decapitated a few death eaters with his new sward. The death eaters kept coming and coming. I felt something go through the side of my stomach. I looked down and fell to my knees. A death eater stabbed me from behind. I saw the wolf in the corner. The wolf nodded it's head.
"Kailie!" Harry yelled slicing and dicing his way over.
"Harry No! Keep fighting. I'll be alright," I said.
I walked over to the wall where the fight wasn't really happening. I pulled the sward out
and slowly stood. I fought through the pain. About a hour later the Death eaters started to flee since they saw that they were losing. The great hall suddenly got silent as all the evil was gone. I couldn't fight it anymore. I dropped my swards and fell to my knees.
Darkness.......................

Harry saw his sister fall and ran over to her. He was the first one there.
"Everyone go back to your rooms until You are told you can leave," Dumbledore announced.
All the students ran through the hallways to their rooms. Leo came over and tried to heal her, but it wouldn't work. Leo grabbed her hand.
"I'll be back. Don't wait for us," he said then orbed both of them out.
"Well that was weird," Faith said.
"Vague much?" Buffy asked.
"Anyone know what happened?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Death eater stabbed her in the stomach about an hour ago. She kept fighting," Harry said.
