Halfway through Harry's fifth year Hogwart's is under seige, nothing
can get on or off of the grounds of Hogwarts. It was the extent that anyone
outside of Hogwarts knew.
"Reports! Draco! I need you to get me a list of the dead so far! Ron! Find me all the full grown wizards and witches you can! Ginny! I need a list of injured and how long til their healed! Hermione! Get to the library and find everything you can about the wards of Hogwarts!" Harry bellowed, sending the four flying from the Great Hall. He wanted to slam his head into a wall. An hour ago, Dumbledore had risen and taken the teachers outside. None had returned. He spotted Fawkes flying towards him, a letter in his talons. The bird gave off a feeling of mourning, and in that moment, Harry knew Dumbledore was dead. He took the letter from the crying bird, and broke the seal to reveal a short message.
Harry,
I'm sorry to do this to you, but since you're reading this then I'm dead. The moment you broke the seal you gained control of the wards of Hogwarts, and in doing so the position of Headmaster. I'm so sorry to do this to you.
Dumbledore.
Tears welled up in his eyes, only to have him viciously banish them. With an effort of will he accessed the now humming ball of magic in his mind. Information on the control of the wards poured into his mind as he read them. He accessed the one ward currently dormant, and closed his eyes as everything outside of the school building died instantly. He was aware of the changes taking place, metal spike 6 feet tall with vicious spikes rose from the ground as a thick wall of 2 inch needle pointed spikes shot out of the outside walls. the windows themselves disappeared as bricks took their place. All outside doors went the same way as the windows, before the bricks covered themselves with a flesh-eating acid. Medalions were activated, causing the outside walls to become anti-magic zones.
"Harry! There's no one! not even Pomphrey is stil here!" Ron yelled, scurrying back into the Hall.
"Thank you, Ron. Please go to the library and tell Hermione that she doesn't need to research them. I've just gotten control of the wards and the info came with them. Once you're done, both of you are to go to Ginny and help her in any way possible. Understood?"
"Yes!" Ad with that Ron scurried back out of the Hall.
"ACCIO MARAUDER'S MAP!!!" Harry yelled at the top of his lungs, summoning a sheet of paper.
"ATTENTION! As of one hour ago, we are at war. Hogwarts is now under seige by Voldemort! The prefects of each house are to report to me any missing students!" Harry explained, then ordered, the students. "Neville, I need you to go find Draco. Tell him to forget the order and to get his pale head back here!." Harry again ordered, ignoring the cries of panic.
"ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harry hollared, his voice overriding all others. "In case you weren't paying attention, I said we're at war! We can all panic later!" He brandished the letter, "I am now in full control of the wards, and can tell you without a doubt they have not been breached! Now, I have bad news. Every single teacher is dead, including Dumbledore, as well as anyone who was outside. We will mourn later! Now we have to get revenge! Revenge for our fallen allies! Are you with me?!"
"YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The rest of the school bellowed back, forcing their own misery away with anger. They wanted blood.
Harry turned from them and performed a charm, merging the map with one of the walls. On it were nearly all the students in the Great Hall, Hermione and the Weasley's in the med wing with the few students who had gotten inside but hurt, and Draco and Neville running at top speed to get back here. Harry winced as a barrage hit one of the wards outside, giving him a small sting, but ignored it.
