A/N- I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I wanted to get this up by Saturday but this chapter was really hard to write. I am just worried about the battle scenes not being good. I hope you like the slight battle scene in this chapter. This chapter and the next two chapters will be all about battle and I am not very experienced with writing battle so it might take a little longer. I really want it to be good. I also don't want to end this story but it will end by chapter 30 I'm afraid. Should I add an epilogue at the end? Let me know your thoughts.

Oh I saw Scary Movie 3. It was funny but a lot of it was stupid. O well, I still had fun. Here is the next chapter (FINALLY!) REVIEW AND IT WILL MOTIVATE ME!!! Thank you for all the reviews I've been getting. They make me very happy! I now have 265 reviews!!! THANK YOU! REVIEW!

First Wave

~!~!

Harry, Malfoy and Fallyn immediately went to work on their plan. Harry cut a piece of skin off his arm and charmed it so the blood would still be running. Draco and Fallyn did the same thing. Fallyn said it was such a disgusting thing and the two boys agreed as Madame Pomphrey healed their arms. They went back to their common room and got the amulet out.

"How are we supposed to attach the skin to the amulet?" Fallyn asked.

"I'll magically bind it to the pieces."

Harry snapped the three triangles in place and said a few words while waving his wand to the amulet and the vials of skin. It was a very strong spell so it was bound together good and like before the amulet was jet black and gave off a glare.

"I'll hold on to this if that's all right with you both."

The other two nodded. It was now 1:00 p.m and Harry decided to go see how everyone was doing in the room of requirement. Fallyn and Draco followed. Everyone was talking, eating and playing games and most of them looked like nothing was wrong except for the younger students. Hermione and Ron immediately stopped their game of chess and ran up to the minister. Hermione threw her arms around Harry who didn't miss the look of jealously Ron had on his face.

"Harry, what's going on?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing right now. There are lots of aurors coming in about 45 minutes and I have to go meet them."

"Harry let us come!"

"No, you guys have to stay here."

"Come on mate," Ron pleaded.

Harry thought for a second and then nodded. "You can come but only you two. First I have to make an announcement. How is everyone doing?" Harry asked.

"Well I think the older kids have gotten over the initial shock but the younger years look pretty scared still."

"Okay well I guess I will make my announcement then."

He cast a sonorous on his voice and stood on a high table near the door. "Could everyone please gather around here?" He called out loudly. Harry waited for the whole school to close in around the table and he then spoke calmly. "Everyone is doing great in here and I am so glad about that. I want all prefects to be in charge and for the time being I want the house rivalries to be put on hold. I would also like to tell you all that tonight at 10 it will have to be completely silent. No noise can be made starting at 10 until someone comes to take you back to the common rooms. You may not talk or whisper or even move preferably. I don't care what time everyone goes to bed but if we want to assure your safety you have to be quiet. I am giving the prefects permission to use any charms they have to get you to be quiet if necessary. If all goes according to plan you will be out of here by morning and back in classes by Wednesday. Please keep up the good work and try to enjoy the rest of your afternoon."

Everyone including the Slytherins nodded or muttered a 'yes'. Harry wanted the younger kids to feel more protected but there wasn't much else he could say. Harry got down as the students started going back to what they were doing and he left the room followed by Draco, Fallyn, Hermione and Ron. He cast an extra strong locking spell and silencing spell on the whole room and then he was on his way.

"We're almost like the marauders," Harry said walking down the hallways breaking the silence.

"Except we have the Minister of Magic, a Slytherin and 2 girls," Ron replied.

"I don't want to be a marauder with you Weasley," Malfoy sneered.

Ron was about to tackle Draco but luckily Fallyn and Hermione held him back.

"Ron, Malfoy, it really is time for you two to get along. We are in a war and you can't even be civil? If you all want to follow me around school then both of you just shut up and be nice," Harry yelled.

"You wouldn't send us back Harry," Hermione said convinced.

"Yeah and you can't send us anywhere. We have to be in the war and we were trained for it," Malfoy said.

"You don't HAVE to do anything. I have the amulet all prepared. All I need to do is levitate it and I don't think that needs you."

"Relax Potter. Ron I was just joking anyway. I meant that I didn't want to be a marauder because that name was already taken. I want to be something else. I know we don't get along well all the time but Harry is right about the house rivalry and stuff. I um..think we should call a truce. Deal?" Draco asked putting his hand out in front of the shocked Ron.

Ron was surprised because Draco had called him by his first name. He was right of course so he immediately shook the boy's hand and nodded. "Okay Draco," Ron said emphasizing his name. It was awkward for a moment for everyone else but the oddness was soon forgotten as they reached the great hall. The aurors weren't there yet but all the order members and teachers were gathered around the big head table. Dumbledore wasn't there and Harry suspected his headmaster was doing some last minute preparations, most likely with the wards.

"Hey Sirius, what's going on?"

Sirius hugged Harry quickly then looked behind him to see the four other students standing there.

"Hermione, Ron, you should be in the room of requirement with everyone else."

"Sirius, I told them they could be with me until tonight. Don't worry, I will send them back immediately at 9:00 p.m."

"Okay, if you're sure. We are all just discussing plans and such. The aurors will be here soon along with Dumbledore."

Harry nodded and went to go talk to Professor Snape. The potions master was sitting alone in a dark corner sipping a mug of what looked like to be butterbear. He was clearly deep in thought.

"Professor Snape?"

"Yes Mr. Potter?" Snape sneered.

"I um.didn't mean you couldn't handle yourself or anything. I just didn't want anything to happen to you or anyone else," Harry said softly. Snape looked in Harry's eyes for a minute so now they were both making eye contact. They stared at each others eyes for what seemed like hours. One set had dark, mysterious, never ending pools of black and the other ones were bright and emerald filled with determination and power. They were like jewels. No one spoke but the potions master soon broke the eerie silence as he stood up and unlocked the stare with the boy.

"I know Potter." He turned around and started walking. Harry watched as he retreated and then the professor stopped in his tracks. Harry stared at the back of his head and waited for what was to come in apprehensiveness. Harry heard a whisper come from the professor. "Thank you."

Then the man strode over to Dumbledore who was coming in the entrance followed by the head aurors. Harry motioned for his friends to take a seat and then he followed to where Snape went in front of the headmaster.

"Hello minister, headmaster, professor. I have five-hundred aurors waiting outside for the 'go ahead' to come in here."

"Five-hundred? I believe we said a little less would be able to assist us," Dumbledore said calmly but Harry jumped in.

"Five hundred is perfect. How did you manage to get so many? You can tell them all to come in here now so we can talk to them."

"Of course I will do that sir. I got so many because there was a little bit of a problem at-"

Dumbledore held up his hand to stop the auror. "Let me tell him please. Why don't you go get everyone?"

Harry looked confusingly at the headmaster as the aurors nodded and walked out again only to be back 5 minutes later. As soon as they left Harry looked back at headmaster Dumbledore.

"What was he going to say? What's wrong?" Harry asked hurriedly.

"Harry I am afraid there has been an attack at Azkaban. All the dementors left and the prisoners escaped. The aurors stationed there all died."

"WHAT?" Harry yelled suddenly feeling sick and dizzy.

"I'm sorry, Harry. There is nothing we could've done."

Harry thought he was going to be sick but the feeling went away as five hundred aurors walked in the great hall quite noisily and sat down at the house tables. The minister went to the head table and cast the sonorous charm on himself and Dumbledore so they could speak loudly throughout the entire great hall.

"Everyone, I thank you for coming. Tonight at midnight there will be an attack. It will go on throughout the most part of the night with more creatures and people coming at different times. We need to fight to protect the school and the wizarding world. If all goes according to plan then Voldemort will be no more. He will die today!"

Then Dumbledore spoke.

"I know you may not have many details but the students are in a safe place in the castle. Many dark creatures and deatheaters will come starting with Dementors. Hopefully we out number them but even if we don't I have faith that we will succeed."

The time passed with most people in the great hall. Occasionally Harry went to check on the students and he also practiced training with Fallyn and Malfoy. The time was going by rather slowly and Harry just wanted it to be all over. At exactly 9:00 p.m Harry sent Hermione back to the room of requirement with Ron. It was a good time because it was getting dark and everyone was quite anxious.

At precisely 11:45 p.m Harry said they should all go outside. The dementors would come from the dark forest most likely. Harry, Fallyn, Draco, Dumbledore, Snape and all the other order members were near the entrance hall. When the clocks inside the castle struck midnight the whole castle shook. That meant the wards were down. It was dark and cold outside. It was drizzling rain but Harry thought it felt good. He was ready for the dementors. Suddenly the time had come.

Hundreds of dark cloaked figures emerged from all over the forest onto the grounds. Patronus charms were being shot everywhere and Harry watched as ever thing took place. More and more kept coming out of the cold forest and more and more hexes were shot. Harry could tell they weren't out numbered but he saw Malfoy go down with at least five dementors hovering over him ready to give him the kiss.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry yelled thinking of the Christmas he spent with Sirius.

The stag rammed the dementors away from Draco immediately but the boy was still unconscious. Aurors went down every now and then. The rain was not helping Harry's eyesight or the ability to move but Harry tried now more then ever.

'Think about happy thoughts Harry!' he told himself.

He thought about his best friends and how they would always be together. "Expecto Patronum!" he yelled.

He thought about what the world would be like without the threat of Voldemort. "Expecto Patronum!" he yelled again. Each time the silvery stag would take out more and more dementors. The aurors were successfully beating the dementors but this was just the beginning. Some were down but Harry suspected that theses were the ones with terrible pasts like Harry.

Harry tried not to think about the terrible empty feeling he had in him at that moment that he knew was caused by the terrible creatures. He tried to block out the screams of his mother but it was all so terrible.

Finally after it felt like hours the dementors were all down along with some aurors and Draco. It had only been 30 minutes. Harry quickly ran to his friend's side and conjured a stretcher. There was a person running around the grounds levitating the ones down to the hospital wing. Harry really wanted his friend to be in the war with him. He needed him. Harry searched in his cloak and found what he was looking for. He stuffed a big piece of chocolate in the Slytherins mouth just in time too. Werewolves were emerging out of the dark forest...
