A/N: Okay, here's the seventh chapter. FYI, it's gonna be a long one cause a lot will happen. Basically, this will be the battle, so it's full of action. There will be at least one death. (Please don't flame me for it!) I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!! I just had to put it, but hey, it's a battle, what do you expect? Anyways, please read on!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with the great Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I own is the plot and any other characters I decide to add into this story.

A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed so far! I added some replies on the bottom of the page and I promise to list everybody who reviewed next chapter.

"Oh my god!" Hermione shrieked when she saw the results of the beginning of the battle so far. Bodies littered the ground and bright colors from wands illuminated the sky. Also, they noticed that some of the braver students had joined the battle now.

"There are way too many Death Eaters left and nearly not enough teachers!" Ginny sobbed.

"Well, I guess that's a good reason to help," Harry said. "C'mon!"

"But we'll get killed too!" Neville said.

"We might, but it'll be for a good cause," Harry reminded him. "Especially if we kill Voldemort."

"Yeah, like that's gonna happen," Ron snorted. "I mean, think about, we're fifteen and he's like over sixty! And immortal!"

"True, but we have to at least try!" Hermione said, agreeing with Harry. "C'mon, let's move closer."

So, they did. And, when they were about only five feet from the fighting, McGonnagall suddenly got thrown in the air by a Death Eater and landed at the five kids' feet.

"Professor McGonnagall!" Hermione cried. "Are you okay?"

McGonnagall slowly opened her eyes. "Ms. Granger?"

"Yes," Hermione said.

McGonnagall moved her head so she saw the other students. "Mr. Weasely? Mr. Longbottem? Ms. Weasely? Who are you?" she asked when she got to Harry.

"Somebody that will help you defeat Voldemort," Harry said almost too confidently compared to how he felt.

"Ginny, Neville, get McGonnagall to the Hospital Wing," Harry ordered two of his friends.

"Oh, no, there's no use going there," McGonnagall said to Harry. "Poppy's still trying to help fight the Death Eaters."

"Well, you still need rest," Harry said to the Hogwarts Headmistress.

"No, I can help," McGonnagall tried to get up but immediately fell back again from pain.

"Harry's right, you need rest," Hermione said.

"Harry?" McGonnagall turned back to Harry. "Harry Potter? Aren't you supposed to be in Azkaban?"

"I escaped," Harry muttered.

"No!" McGonnagall screamed. "You killed Dumbledore! Get away from me murderer!"

"For the last time!" Harry shouted in frustration. "I did not kill Dumbledore! Voldemort did! Why doesn't anybody believe me?"

"We tested him under Truth Potion!" Hermione cried. "He's innocent!"

"I don't believe you, traitor!" McGonnagall spat. "Traitor!"

"No, really, he's innocent," Neville said.

"It's okay, just get her to the Hospital Wing," Harry said quietly to Neville. "You, too, Ginny."

"But we want to help!" Ginny exclaimed.

Hermione moved closer to Ginny and Neville. "Please?"

Ginny lowered her head. "Fine."

"Thanks," Harry said to his friends.

Ginny and Neville took hold of McGonnagall's arms and helped her up carefully.

"No, don't touch me! He's bewitched all of you into thinking that he's innocent and you're all going to kill me!" McGonnagall cried as she tried to free herself from Ginny and Neville's grasp. "Let go of me now before *I* kill you all.

"Hurry," Harry said. "She's delusional!"

"I am not delusional, you are!" McGonnagall rambled on. "Now, get for filthy hands off of me!"

"Oh shut up!" Hermione rolled her eyes and pointed her wand at her transfiguration teacher. "Stupify!"

McGonnagall screamed slightly before she limply fell out of Ginny and Neville's hands.

"Now that was interesting," Ron commented. "How many times to you get to see your teacher ready to kill one of her students?"

"Surprisingly a lot if you took the time to watch some muggle news," Hermione stated.

"Really?" Ron asked. "Cool!"

"Ron, really, it's not that funny!" Hermione rolled her eyes again.

"Yeah it is!"

"Guys!" Harry suddenly jumped right into the conversation. "In case you've forgotten, Voldemort is over there killing our friends!"

Hermione blushed. "Sorry."

"Now, Ginny and Neville, get McGonnagall to the hospital wing as soon as you can," Harry ordered.

Ginny and Neville nodded as the started to lull their teacher towards Hogwarts.

"Okay, Ron and Hermione, now we have to go into the battle and fight. Ready?"

Hermione and Ron nodded sadly as the trio started walking towards to the above-mentioned battle.

Which was not going well at all.

***

"Luna!" a voice cried. "Luna, behind you!"

"Huh!" Luna asked but it was too late as the someone pointed their wand at her and said "Crucio!"

"This is not going well at all!" Seamus Finnigan said as he narrowly avoided a Stunning Spell. "Too bad Harry's not here to save the day."

"Harry Potter?" Dean Thomas snorted as he fired a curse at a death eater and missed. "You actually want that murderer here?"

"You're right," Seamus agreed. "Forgot that he killed Dumbledore for a moment."

"Understandable."

"Guys!" Another voice called out. "Guys, look, three more people are joining the battle!"

"Hope there're on our side!" Dean said.

"Looks like they are," Seamus noted as he saw the tallest fire a Stunning Spell at a death eater.

"Of course they are!" Lavender Brown suddenly shouted to them. "Can't you see they're Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely?"

"Oh, yeah, you're right," Dean nodded. "Who's the third person, though?"

"He, or she, almost seems familiar," Lavender noted.

"I'd almost say it was Harry Potter, if I knew he was in Azkaban," Seamus sighed.

"Yeah, you're right," Dean said.

"What if it is?" Lavender frowned. "It really does look like him, you know,"

"But that's impossible, Lav," Dean laughed but instantly stopped when someone cast the Crucio on him and he started screaming.

"Dean!" Lavender cried. "Oh, Dean!"

"Seamus, Dean, Lavender!" Another female voice suddenly shouted. "Are you guys okay?"

"Does is look like we are?" Seamus asked sarcastically to Hermione who had ran up to them along with Ron and a longhaired boy. "Dean here is has been cast with Crucio and Lavender and I are losing pretty badly along with the rest of the whole damn school!" Seamus shook his head before glancing down at Dean who was currently crouched on the ground screaming.

"Okay, not a good question to ask," Hermione said sadly. "Well, we thought that maybe we could help."

"It's about time!" Lavender grunted. "Where have you and Ron been all day?"

"Uh, trying to decide what to do?" Ron replied stupidly.

Everybody who had heard him rolled their eyes and smacked themselves on the forehead.

"Are you really that stupid?" Lavender asked him anxiously.

"Guys stop it!" The boy with the long black hair said. "If you haven't already noticed, Voldemort is coming this way!"

After the initial shock of hearing the name "Voldemort", the four other kids whirled around to find Voldemort less than a yard away from them.

Hermione and Lavender gasped as Ron and Seamus bolted away from the spot but not before Voldemort struck the killing curse their way. One of the two boys stopped running immediately and fell limp to the ground while the other kept on running.

"Ah, I see you haven't had the chance to meet me," Voldemort hissed at the remaining three teens who were standing before of him. "What a shame."

"I don't think it is," the boy said.

Voldemort glared at the boy. "Who are you?" he snapped.

"You mean you don't recognize me? What a shame," the boy mocked him.

Voldemort narrowed his eyes as he glimpsed the thin lightning bolt on the boy's forehead. "And may I ask why you are out of Azkaban?"

Lavender gasped when she realized that the boy near her was Harry Potter. "Harry!"

Harry ignored Lavender. "I should never of been in there in the first place. I didn't kill anyone."

"Oh, but I think you did," Voldemort curled his lips in a smile. "And what will everybody say when they find that the murderer of Albus Dumbledore is on the loose, ready to kill anyone he has to?"

"I don't know seeing as he has been for the past year," Harry smirked.

Voldemort glared at Harry again. "What are you talking about you little brat?"

"I think you know, Tom," Harry said defiantly.

"That's it!" Voldemort shouted. "Avada Kedevra!" Bursts of green flames shot at Harry like fog in a hurricane.

Harry tumbled out of the way as the killing curse came towards him and shot the unlucky person who was standing in the spell's path.

"Stupify!" Harry shouted as the swirls of red light reached their long fingers out the Voldemort who easily dodged it.

"Crucio!" This time, Harry didn't move quick enough and he soon found himself enduring the worst pain in the world.

Hermione screamed. "You rotten creature! Expelliarmus!"

Voldemort looked puzzled for a total of two nanoseconds before he dodged the spell and pointed his wand at Hermione to say Crucio.

Hermione's screams filled the air along with Dean's now softer screams and Harry's very slight whimpering.

Voldemort was about to cast the killing curse on them all when a thin but strong hand grasped his wrist.

"Don't even think about it, Tom," Voldemort's eyes widened to the size of golf balls when he heard the voice that he was almost positive he would never hear again.

*** Death

Is it heaven?

Is it hell?

Is it anything?

Is it bitter?

Is it sweet?

Does it last for eternity?

Does it stop?

Do you want it?

Or is it safer to live in a place where sadness envelops you

And pain screams to you

Do you want to just get it over with

Or do you want to stay here forever

Waiting for the darkness to fall

---- Second Half of Dragania Amma Lyris Malfoy
