Disclaimer:I do not own any of these characters. If I did I would probably be rich. I do thing Warner Brothers owns the movies, and some formerly small British company owns the copyright to the books. Also, this is slashy. No, I'm not some raving homo (Though I don't mean offense to any homosexuals). This was written for some friends…I hope they like it. I would like to say that Rowan Rosenberg is my own creation (since I forgot to put it on the last one.) Willow Rosenberg is semi-my creation. She is from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and was a great asset to their group, and she was cool so I added her to my story. She is a bit different than the Willow on screen, but well she is still owned by Mutant Enemy. Thanks and Enjoy.
Dumbledore returned before night fell that night, and Rowan was the first to go up to his office. Draco, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine had all met in the Room of Requirement. They were speaking about the Order, and what Draco had learned from Rowan himself. Hermoine seemed to least surprised by all of this information.
It took two weeks before they could meet again. Ron and Hermoine had been spending more time together, most of the time being away from Harry. Rowan had been studying to take his Ordinary Wizarding Level exams, to see if he was up to par with Hogwarts students, and Draco seemed to be with Harry ever waking moment. The meeting was held in the Room of Requirement, in which they could be in silence.
Draco was wearing black robes that had the emblem of Hogwarts on the left side of his chest. He stood up tall standing next to Harry. The two would look at one another and couldn't seem to help but smile. They were in love, even though society was against it.
Hermoine and Ron's hands were intermingled as Rowan walked into the room, "Sorry…" He was breathing hard as he entered the room, "I had to finish my Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts exams. They were not very pleased with my potions, but I got it done, and it looked like it was supposed to."
"You should have added skunk root." She smiled at him as she fidgeted her fingers through Rons.
Draco looked at Harry and smiled lightly, "Good job against Slytherin," The Quidditch Tournament had started only a week ago, and the Gryffindor team had already beat Slytherin in a shut-out game. Draco's personality was changing even more than he could have imagined. He was taking on a lot of Harry's own traits, and Harry was even taking on some of Draco's older traits.
"What are we here for?" Harry asked looking at Rowan.
Rowan looked at everyone in the room, "Willow has left…" His breathing was still heavy, "She left this morning before a class of first years and hasn't been seen since…I believe she is going…" He took in a deep breath, "To the Order in the forest."
Harry's eyes stood agape as he looked at Rowan, "How could you let her do that?"
"Do you really think I let her do anything? When Willow wants to do something she just goes out and does it," Rowan looked at Harry, "Calm your ass down. I can't let this power get out of control now, you don't understand how hard it could be to get it back in control."
Hermoine's mind was working quickly as she looked over at Rowan, "Do you think she could have had a premonition? Or said something that could be prophetic?"
"She could have, but if she did, how are we supposed to know about it. If no one was there to hear it…" Rowan paused as he looked at Hermoine, "This could be really serious…" His mind was a blazed with probabilities, "If she said a prophecy and no one was there to hear it, this could be really serious. When she goes on one of her rambles, it's hard to tell what is prophecy and what is not. I need to be there, and I need to be there now." He was losing control of his emotions. He couldn't let his sister get hurt, but there are much worse things that could happen to a powerful seer like herself.
"Rowan, calm yourself," It was Ron that spoke this time. He looked at Rowan with eyes of sympathy, "Do you know where the Order meets?"
"Yes," Rowan replied quickly, "And your point is?"
"I'll go get Dumbledore…" Ron had already formulated a plan within his head, "Your four go to the Order meeting place. If there is any troubles from Death Eaters summon the Dark Mark, I know Hermoine knows the charm."
"Are you serious?" Hermoine's voice burst out from the quintet, "The Dark Mark could summon other Death Eaters." She pulled her hand away from Ron's, "I don't know if we could take them." She was breathing just as deep as Rowan was, but her voice was much more dramatic.
Ron already made his way to do the door, "Am I right in guessing that Dumbledore doesn't know where the Order meets?" Ron looked at Rowan and then at Draco and Harry, finally back to Hermoine, "Someone is going to need to show him the way, but the Professor has been gone most of the afternoon, which means anything could happen to her, or she could be hurt. The Dark Mark will be seen by Dumbledore, and I'll tell him it's a problem so he can make his way to that mark."
"Ron," Harry replied looking at his friend, "Do you really think we should do this? You are usually the one, besides Hermoine, to be skeptical." This wasn't the first time Harry had been going through such Danger, nor would it be the last. He looked at his friend, and then at Draco, "Are you up to this?"
Draco nodded. His fear could easily been seen. His whole body was shuddering ever so lightly, but he knew if anyone else didn't see it, Rowan felt it. He looked at Rowan, "I don't know nearly as many charms as the rest of you do, but I will try and help."
Rowan looked at Ron and then at Hermoine, "I think Ron has a really good plan. Do you have anything you would like to add? Or should we just be off?" He looked directly into her eyes and a glint of gold seemed to sparkle in his as he spoke. Hermoine looked into his eyes and then over to Ron, "I do believe he has the best plan."
"Draco," Hermoine turned around looking at him, "I don't believe you have enough training to come along, and I mean that because of what we went through last year." She paused as he looked her in the eyes, much like she had done with Rowan only a moment ago, "You are to get Willow out of there. The rest of us will get her out, but if there is a problem, get her out of there and we will follow."
Rowan looked at Hermoine, "Good plan."
Moments passed and they were without Ron, and already heading into the Dark Forest. Several students had seen them going, but none were brave enough to stop him. Rowan was in the lead, and in an instant he seemed to be gone, and in his place was a white tiger. The tiger ran into the deep forest.
"Wicked…" Draco said again with a slight smile from Harry, "That is bloody brilliant."
"Quoting Ron now are we?" Harry replied following the tiger as fast as he could, "Rowan wait!"
The tiger stopped to look at him. The tiger seemed to be the perfect example of a tiger; even its golden eyes seemed magical in nature. The tiger let out a large roar and then continued his path into the forest.
Hermoine was the last to follow; yet, she was the one to keep a watch over everyone else. Her curly brown hair bobbed as she ran behind them all through the forest. She watched as she passed many trees, jumping over roots and vines.
Harry turned around to make sure she was still there, "Are you doing alright?"
"Yes…" She replied as she continued the large jog into the deep forest.
The tiger finally stopped and looked at a wall. The tiger quickly reverted into Rowan once more, "I'm sorry…" He looked back to make sure the other two were there and then touched his wand against the rock. The rock opened to form a large door. With another tap of the wand the door opened, "In most cases we would have a secret keeper, but this is secret from even Dumbledore. A Death Eater couldn't find it without a member from the Order showing them. It is concealed by magic that is as strong as the one on Number 12 Grimmauld Place, but then again Dumbledore is the secret keeper." He moved through the door followed quickly by Hermoine, Draco, and Harry.
Draco watched the scene already unfolding within the place. A man clad in deep black robes stood next to Willow. Her eyes were glazed over and all that could be seen was the whites of her eyes. The dark man had his wand raised and prepared to say a spell.
"Avada…" The voice seemed to rise in a deep rasp.
Draco was instantly horrified, but his courage grew as he pulled up his wand.
"Expelliarmus!" Three voices yelled the words perfectly. All three wands were pointed at the man.
The mans wand flew from his hand. He turned to look at his own attackers. He looked like tall walking skeleton. His skin was barely hanging onto his bones. The only skin that could be seen was the snow white skin of his face, but the red cat-like eyes seemed to show through, "Potter…" His voice was still nothing but a rasp.
"Voldermort," Hermoine said again, "He came himself…" She ran out of the cavern and out into the forest. She held her wand up in the air and closed her eyes. She had never done a charm like she was about to do, and didn't want to do it. She called out the words quickly, "Morsmordre!" The green light shot up into the air. The skull was formed in the sky with a large serpent protruding from it's mouth, "hope Ron gets Dumbledore the message…"
"Accio Wand!" Harry yelled pointing his wand at Voldermort's own. He grabs it almost instantly, and then threw it to Rowan, "Do something about it."
Rowan grabbed the wand and snapped it in half almost instantly. He pointed his wand at it as the words escaped his lungs, "Incendio!" The wooden wand that was Voldermort's burst into flame. Rowan turned to Harry and gave him at thumbs up.
Draco smiled as if he thought everything was in their control. He looked at the Dark Lord and another wave of fear came over him, "Petrificus Totalus!" Draco yelled as he pointed the wand at Voldermort.
"Weak, Pathetic, Fools." Voldermort stood there as he put out his hand, "Accio!" Harry's wand flung from his hand and into Voldermort's, "You think you can break my wand. You think your little Pathetic spells can work on me? I have powers you couldn't dream." He pointed his wand at Harry and prepared to utter the words.
"Stop!' Dumbledore's loud voice came into the room. He was wearing silver robes. That seemed to hold eternity inside of them. He looked at Voldermort and quickly began to speak, "Tom, you will lose." His voice seemed like that of every great wizard. His voice was like it a type of voice you would put in your mind from a story. The voice seemed so majestic that it didn't seem possible.
Voldermort looked at him with the same coy smile on his face, "Albus you twit. You don't have the power to destroy me, and neither does the boy. He will die by my hand, and you will be nowhere to stop him.
Dumbledore held out his wand and pointed it to Voldermort. The wand came flying towards Dumbledore and he handed it to Ron who was standing next to him. This battle seemed like it was over, but it was far from it. Ron moved over and gave Harry his wand, "Tom…surrender yourself."
"There is no surrender for me." Voldermort took a deep breath and rose his hands up. The whole cavern shook violently, "I have powers you couldn't even imagine Dumbledore. You're goodness clouds everything. Search out the power, and that is where I am. I am power."
Dumbledore looked around. He had a solemn look on his face, "Leave now, all of you!"
Harry looked at Dumbledore and then at everyone, finally at Draco, "Get Willow…"
Draco moved over to their Professor. She was laying down on the floor her eyes were now closed. He put her in his arms and made his way towards the exit.
Rowan looked at Dumbledore for a second and then ran to the exit, "Come on!"
Hermoine, Ron, and Harry were the first three out followed by Draco and Willow. Rowan watched Dumbledore for another second. He was standing tall, but Rowan was still unsure of everything that was happening. He looked at Dumbledore for another moment, "Good luck…" He whispered as he left the door the cavern.Rowan looked at the door as the others and him continued to run down through the forest, "Draco!" Rowan yelled looking at his friend, "Is she okay?"
Draco smirked lightly as he set her down, "Carry her…"
Rowan picked her up, and looked down at his sister, "Good she's…" A large thunder hit the sky, and then a large explosion. Time seemed to stop. Harry turned around and looked back at the cavern. His whole body seemed dumb struck. He stared at the place where the door was. Draco was beside him staring at the same place. The door was broke into hundreds of pieces, and boulders surrounded the entrance.
