Chapter 16 The Final Battle

The next morning, Harry, Ron and Hermione were awoken by some members of the Council at 6.00 a.m. They were told to go to Minerva McGonagall's Office to a meeting among the Prefects.

"Which is the reason for the meeting, Professor?" Asked Harry to his Godmother through the link while he and Ron changed their clothes.

"The other Prefects will be informed of the situation and we'll give some indication of what to do at the moment that the fight starts." Said Minerva.

"We'll be there in 5 minutes." Said Harry seriously going to the Common Room where the other Prefects of the House were waiting for them.

"Do you know why were we called?" Asked Katie to Harry in a whisper far from the others, while they went to McGonagall's Office.

"Voldemort will attack the School today. The war ends this time." Said Harry to the Head Girl with a very serious tone of voice.

"That's why the Tournament was changed, right?" Asked the Chaser, paling with the words. Harry just nodded. None of them said another word in the travel.

In the Office, besides Minerva, were also Dumbledore, Madame Maxime and the other Heads of House and the Prefects of the Houses and some from the other Schools. Harry noticed that from Slytherin and Dumstrang there weren't many.

"We thank all of you for coming here so early, but the matter that has to be discussed can't be delayed." Said Minerva very seriously when all of the Prefects were sat around a table that was in the center of the Office.

"Hogwarts will be attacked today by Voldemort and his followers." Said Dumbledore without preambles, with his most serious voice.

All of the students there, except the trio and Katie, were shocked with this and many hoped that the teachers were just joking. But a look to the Headmaster and their Head of House told them that it wasn't.

"What do you need from us, Headmaster?" Asked Katie with a decided tone of voice. Next to her, Harry, Hermione and Ron showed the same determination about this. Some Prefects had doubts, but not all of them. The rest showed determination too.

Albus proceeded to inform them the measures that would be taken as soon as the School was attacked: seal the Common Room till the youngest students were safe at some other place, the coin that worked as a Portkey that would be activated to transport the young in that moment and to anyone who was seriously injured too, the defenses that would be cast and the way they could help during the battle.

"At the Castle and on the grounds there will be Members of the Order of the Phoenix fighting. If you can help them, do it. If you see someone injured, try to bring that person back to the Castle." Instructed the Headmaster.

"You can count with us." Said Katie in name of her House. Her housemates nodded.

"Ravenclaw will fight till the end." Said Roger in name of his House.

"We won't stay behind." Said Ernie Macmillan in name of Hufflepuff.

"The ones from Slytherin that don't work for Voldemort, will help." Said Blaise Zabini in name of the Prefects of his House.

"Beauxbatons will be there to help too." Said Fleur in name of the French School.

"Dumstrang too." Said Viktor Krum with a decided tone of voice in name of his School, that was shared by all of them.

"Your Head of Houses will inform the students about the situation. Thanks for your support." Said Dumbledore to the students before they left and went to the Towers.

The Professor and the students walked in silence, no one knowing very well what to say. The students of Gryffindor had shown their bravery supporting their School, being the first ones to do it. All of them knew that their decision had influenced many of the other Houses. Minerva was proud of them. They had shown the true meaning of what was expected from her House.

"Go and wake the rest of the Students." Instructed the teacher to the Prefects, who nodded and went to do their mission.

A while later, every student from Gryffindor, from first to seventh year, was at the Common Room. All of them confused with the call and wondering the reason of it. They expected patiently till their Head of House started to speak, flanked by the Prefects, all of them with a serious and decided face.

"We have some news. We received information that the School will be attacked today by You-Know-Who and his followers. Measures to ensure the safety have been taken, so we'll ask you to follow them." Started McGonagall with her usual serious and stern tone of voice.

"The Common Room will be sealed as soon as the attack starts. It will be reopened as soon as the students from first to fourth year are at safe." Continued Minerva.

"How will be put in safe, Professor?" Asked Dennis Creevey, who was in Second Year.

"The coins that every student were given is a Portkey that will be activated when the attack begins." Explained Harry, before he nodded to his Godmother to continue.

"The students from Fifth to Seventh Year will be asked to join the fight. If any of them doesn't wish to do it, you must tell me so you'll be sent with the youngest students." Continued McGonagall looking to the oldest students.

"You mustn't tell it now, you can do it later in private." Said Minerva seeing that many of them had doubts about this.

Before they could continue, Harry's watch started to sound. The teen watched it and pressed a button and waited for a moment before his face paled. He made a signal to Ron, Hermione and the twins to follow him and left the Common Room.

"Harry, what happened?" Asked Minerva through the link confused with this.

"Later!" Answered the teen entering in a rush to the room and going to the Marauder's Map.

"I swear to wreak as much havoc as I can!" Said Harry tapping his wand on it and waiting till the images appeared. This new version was three- dimensional and had the Castle more realistic. It was like you could see the whole School, with the Classrooms and everything there.

"Dumbledore come here!" Shouted Harry through the link watching what had activated the alarm: Near the Forest, many of Voldemort's forces had started to apparate.

"What's wrong?" Asked the Headmaster as soon as he entered.

"It started." Said the teen pointing to the forces of Zombies, Trolls and Vampires that were coming from the Forest.

"Fred, contact your father and tell him to send the help from the Ministry immediately! Hermione, fly to the Forest and tell Firenze that the Centaurs have to start their work! George, stay here with the Map and tell us when some new force apparates! Ron, find Sir Nicholas and tell him to do what I asked him! Dumbledore, start to do what we talked!" Instructed Harry to his friends and Mentor acting as the boss of this.

As soon as he finished saying those words, the other 5 occupants started to do what they were asked. This wasn't a moment to fight the leadership and till everything could be settled and all of the forces of the Castle had met and decided how to fight, they didn't care who took it, no matter who was.

Fred contacted Mr. Weasley through the link and told the news. The Minister told him that the help would be there as fast as possible. Hermione transformed in the Phoenix and fled to the Forest in search of the Centaurs. Ron left the Room and went to find the Ghost of his House. George took seat next to the Map watching it carefully and looking for anything that apparated there. Dumbledore opened the link and told the Council's Member about this and then informed the School, magnifying his voice through the School.

The battle that would decide the future of this war and of the Muggle and Wizarding world had started. No one knew how long it would last, but one thing was sure, the victory wouldn't be easy for any of the sides. And Hogwarts wasn't going to give up easily. The School would stand for the fight as long as a single student, teacher, ghost or live being, was there to fight against the Dark Side.

****

After an approval form the 5 MNG, the room became the Headquarter of the Order. The only request from the teens was that the location of the place had to be kept as a secret to everyone. Dumbledore had never refused to this, and he wasn't going to start now. A new entrance had been done that connected the room to the Headmaster's Office that would be used by the staff and the Council's member that didn't know the other entrances.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, be welcome to the MNG's Headquarters. From this moment till the end of the fight, this place will be our headquarters." Said Dumbledore to the adults as soon as all of them were inside.

"Anything new, George?" Asked Harry to the twin going to where the Map was, ignoring the adults and returning to the matter in hand.

"Not yet!" Said George who was still on the place that his friend had assigned him.

"Where are the first forces?" Asked Dumbledore going to the pair while the adults began to watch the place in awe.

"The Entrance." Said George pointing to the place.

"Let's begin the game." Said Harry pointing to the Entrance and muttering some words.

"What did you do?" Asked Dumbledore curious.

"I added some advantages to this Map. From here I can activate some defenses that I have placed." Said Harry before he turned to Sprout and said: "I'll repay all of the plants that I borrowed from the Greenhouses."

"Can you tell me why did you take all of the Man Eaters Plants and the Devil's Snare?" Asked the Herbology Professor curious. She had found out the missing plants 1 or 2 days ago, and suspected that they were for this moment. That was the reason that she hadn't told it to anyone.

"Do you really want to know it?" Asked Harry with an evil smile.

"I'm sure that I'll be fine without that knowledge." Said Sprout with a shake of her head.

"I have curiosity about something: how will you make work the Devil's Snare at daylight?" Asked Dumbledore, being sure that he also would be fine without it.

"I made a few... changes on them and the Man Eaters Plants." Said Harry with his evil smile.

"I won't ask!" Said the Headmaster and the Professor at the same time.

"I don't know what you did, but it's working!" Said George watching as the forced began to decrease very quickly.

"That will continue for a while. They are doing their work. Tell us as soon as human forces start to apparate." Said Harry to the twin who nodded, never taking his eyes from the Map.

"Are the students at safe?" Asked the teen to the Heads of House and the Headmaster.

"The Common Room have been unlocked 20 minutes ago. The oldest students are waiting for the signal to join the fight." Said Minerva seriously, while the others nodded.

"What did Firenze told you, Hermione?" Asked Harry to his girlfriend, after nodding to the Teachers.

"They'll act as you told them." Said Hermione.

"Ron?" Asked the teen to his best friend.

"Nick said the same." Said the redhead.

"Giants coming!" Shouted George suddenly.

"As I expected." Said Harry before he turned to Hagrid and Madame Maxime: "How are the forces of the Giants for both sides?"

"Almost 250 joined You-Know-Who. We got 100 for our side. The remaining decided to stay neutral on this." Informed Madame Maxime.

"How are working the first lines of defenses?" Asked Harry to George.

"They are almost gone." Said the twin.

Harry nodded and made appear a little snake and hissed something in Parseltongue. The snake nodded and disappeared from the room. All of the adults watched Harry expecting and explanation.

"Ignore the snakes and the Acromantulae when they appear in the Map." Said Harry to George, whose answer was only a nod.

"Take the lead." Said Harry to Dumbledore going next to George and sitting next to him.

"You are doing a good work here." Said George to his friend when he took seat.

"We'll see how good is it when this finishes." Said Harry seriously.

"What now?" Asked Dumbledore going to the 2 teens with Minerva and Remus.

"We have to wait till the Dementors and Death Eaters appear. The other creatures can be stopped by my defenses or delayed at least." Said Harry watching the fight between the snakes and Acromantulae against the Giants.

"Harry Potter, Sir!" Said Dobby apparating at the room suddenly with Winky.

"What's up, Dobby?" Asked Harry summoning 2 drinks, one for him and the other for George.

The little House Elf went to Harry and whispered something on his ear. Harry's eyes went wide and looked to Dobby like asking if it was joke. The adults watched them confused.

"Wait for my signal. Don't do nothing without my notice! Is that clear?" Asked Harry to the Elves who nodded and disapparated.

"How are the things at Hogsmeade?" Asked Harry to Dumbledore.

"The town has been evacuated last night." Said Remus, before he asked: "What did Dobby tell you?"

"The House Elves will set a big trap here. They'll activate some guards so no one can Apparate or Disapparate in Hogsmeade, the School, the train Station or anywhere else near the grounds! Just our Portkeys will work to leave." Explained Harry, while he made some changes on the Map.

"The Floo Network?" Asked Minerva.

"It has been closed for 12 hours. You can make fire-calls, but nothing else. When the Elves set the guards, the School will be disconnected permanently from the outside world." Said Harry seriously.

"No one else will enter the fight after that. Neither to help them or us." Said Albus seriously.

"No matter what happens, the war ends here. The winner of this fight, will win everything." Said Harry before he turned his attention back to the Map, not leaving the adults any chance to answer this.

"Merlin help us." Said Minerva to the other adults, leaving Harry and George with the Map.

"Maybe he'll be with us." Said Albus with a mysterious tone of voice before he started to talk with Madame Maxime, leaving 2 confused teachers behind him.

****

For that night, the School had resisted the first wave of Voldemort's ranks with success. The loses were few between the light side. For the Dark Lord's forces, the losses were astronomical. None of the attackers had survived to the defenses.

"Go to sleep a while, I'll watch the Map." Said Harry to George after the of the twin's fifth yawn in 40 minutes. George nodded and went to one of the beds. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

"Aren't you tired?" Asked Snape to Harry, going to the teen with a cup of coffee.

"I can resist a few more hours." Said the teen with a thank to the teacher for the drink.

"Anything new?" Asked Severus watching the Map.

"No." Said Harry before he started to check the Towers, where all of the students were sleeping; the Corridors, that were also empty except for Mrs. Norris and the ghosts of the School; the secret passages, the 7 discovered by the old Marauders and the 3 that he had discovered a few months ago that went also to Hogsmeade and the Secret Chamber at last. The passages were empty, alike the Chamber, and all of the alarms and wards set on them were working perfectly.

"It looks bad." Said Severus pointing to the passage that went from the room to Dumbledore's Office. There were 2 dots that said: 'Igor Karkaroff' and 'Albus Dumbledore'.

"It is bad." Said Harry placing a invisibility charm over the Map so the Death Eater couldn't see it.

"I am the Headmaster of Dumstrang and my students are in danger! I have to know what's going on!" Said Karkaroff shouting to Dumbledore when the 2 Headmasters entered.

"Mr. Karkaroff, this isn't your School! And if you want to shout do it somewhere else! Some people here is trying to sleep!" Said Harry in a low and dangerous tone of voice, pointing to the Council's Member who were sleeping at the beds. Then he said to Snape through the link: "Cast a few silencing charms around their beds, Professor. I don't have any wish to wake anyone now by this stupid and his shouts!"

Severus nodded and proceeded to do it. The members took turns of 5 hours each to sleep. The teens' turns were of 6, to let them rest a little more. At that moment, besides George, were also sleeping Arabella Figg, Tonks, an Auror that had joined the Council during March, and Remus. Harry thanked the Professor with a nod and turned his attention back to the 2 Headmasters.

"You have not right to talk me like that!" Said a bewildered Karkaroff.

"I'll remind you that you are a guest here and you are the one who doesn't have right to be at this room, Mr. Karkaroff." Retorted Harry.

"Please, this isn't moment to fight among us!" Said Dumbledore stopping the argument.

"What brings you here?" Asked Harry flatly to Karkaroff and Dumbledore.

"I want to know what is going on here!!" Said Igor angrily.

"You shout once more, and you are out!" Said Harry angry with the shouts.

"Mr. Karkaroff asked to be informed of the situation." Said Dumbledore to the teen.

"Everything's quiet. Nothing has changed since the last fight between the giants against the snakes and Acromantulae." Said Harry drinking another cup of coffee.

"What kind of defenses have been placed to keep the School safe?" Asked Karkaroff.

"It's my business, not yours." Said Harry flatly.

"Listen to me, young man..." Started Igor but Harry cut him off.

"No, you listen to me! I have enough problems keeping everything at bay and fighting against Voldemort's forces to need someone to come and tell me what to do! If anyone wants the leadership here, I'll be glad to give it, but till then I won't accept any complain or questions about how I do the work! Is that clear?" Asked the teen to the 3 adults with a fierce that none of them had seen before in him.

"Very." Said Severus seriously, knowing that at this moment the last thing that was needed was Harry more angry.

"Now, Mr. Karkaroff, leave! You are not welcome here!" Said the teen before he went to his bed and asked Severus to continue the work with the Map.

"You heard him." Said Albus to Karkaroff going with him to the exit while Severus took seat in front of the Map and removed the charms.

"Nice temper he has." Said Severus to the Headmaster when Dumbledore returned to the room a few minutes later.

"Can you blame him for it?" Asked Albus simply checking the Map with Severus.

****

The next morning the things were still quiet, though everyone knew that they wouldn't last like that very much. It was a matter of time before the second wave of the attack came.

Harry and Hermione had decided to take one the patrolling shifts around the School, leaving George at the Map again and Dumbledore taking the leadership. Although for everyone, Dumbledore was the leader, at the Order, everyone knew that the orders have been given by Harry. It didn't matter to them, as long as someone was there to lead them.

While they patrolled near the Trophy's room, they found to Roger and Cho who were doing the same. The 4 Prefects decided to join each other and continue their work together.

"Harry, problems are going to you! A big group of Slytherins and students from Dumstrang are going towards you and the others!" Said suddenly George through the link to the teen.

"Send help if you see that we need it!" Said Harry before he informed the other about the situation. All of them took their wands and got ready to fight.

"Kill all of them!" Said Pansy Parkinson reaching to the 4 Prefects with another 20 students.

"Expelliarmus!" Shouted Harry pointing his wand to a Slytherin while his companions started to fight against the other students.

The fight among the students went on for 30 minutes or so. In that moment only, Harry and Roger were standing, while Cho and Hermione were stunned near them. From the other group, just 8 were standing ready to continue the fight. The rest were stunned or unable to continue due to wounds or curses that had been hit with.

"Till the end?" Asked Davies to the other Prefect. Both of them were back with back with their wands pointed to the enemies.

"Till the end!" Said Harry before he shouted: "Expelliarmus!" His curse hit Pansy and disarmed her immediately, sending her 20 meters back.

"Surrender now!" Said a voice behind them to the students who attacked the 4 Prefects.

Everyone turned around to see some of the other Prefects from the other Houses, with their wands pointing dangerously to them. The students form Slytherin and Dumstrang, seeing that they were outnumbered by many, threw their wands to the floor before they were stunned.

"The Emergency is over! Send Dumbledore here!" Said Harry to George through the link.

"He's on the way!" Said George. Harry heard some relief on the twin's voice, surely thanks to his words that the fight was over.

Harry picked all of the wands and placed them together at the floor. When Albus arrived with Snape and Minerva, he muttered some words, and all of the wands were reduced to ashes.

"Send them out of here!" Said the teen to the adults before he woke Hermione and Cho.

"This is going to be a long fight." Said Dumbledore gravely while the students who had attacked Harry and the group were sent to the place where the prisoners would he held till they would be taken to the justice.

"We'll be here to fight it till the end!" Said Harry while the rest of the students nodded to this.

To most of them, Hogwarts was their second home, or the only place that they had ever called home. They weren't going to lose their place without resistance. This time the 4 Houses had found a reason to forget their differences and work together to reach to a common goal: the survival of their School.

****

"Dobby come here and bring a few House Elves! I need you!" Shouted Harry through the fireplace to the Elf.

"Why do you need them?" Asked Albus to the teen while Dobby apparated at the room with 10 Elves.

"It's time to change the rules of the game again!" Said Harry seriously.

It was almost 5.00 p.m. and there had been another 3 attacks like the morning's one. Luckily any of the students had been hurt too much but some of them had had to be sent out of the School to be healed.

"Dobby I want to you and the rest of the Elves to follow Fawkes and Lily. They'll check the loyalties of all of the students that are at the Castle now. I'm tired of these attacks. If any student isn't approved by the Phoenixes, you have to stun them and take them to the Dungeons. When it's done, come and tell me. Is it clear?" Asked the teen to the elves while the birds nodded to his words.

"We'll do it, Harry Potter sir!" Said Dobby before all of the Elves disapparated with the 2 birds and went to do what they had been requested.

"Wise decision." Said 'Mad Eye' Moody listening Harry's orders.

"Any change?" Asked Harry to George, who was with the Map since the beginning. The twin shook his head.

"It seems that Voldemort changed his tactic. Yesterday he attacked from outside. Now, he uses the students and attacks from inside." Said Albus to the Council's Member with a serious tone of voice.

"What can we do?" Asked Tonks to the Headmaster.

"Wait. The real battle will start when Tom and his Death Eaters come here. And he won't do it for a few days. First he'll use all of his forces before he shows himself." Said Harry turning on a cigarette.

"Dobby and the Elves stunned 25 students and some of the foreigner teachers." Said George checking the movements of the Elves and the 2 Phoenixes for a while.

"You know what to do." Said Albus to Tonks, Alastor and Kingsley, who was the new Head of the Aurors after the death of the previous one in a Death Eater attack on January. The 3 Aurors nodded and went to do their work.

"Thanks Dobby. I won't need your help for a while." Said Harry when the Elf, Lily and Fawkes entered at the room a few moments later. The little creature nodded and disapparated with a 'pop'.

"Has everything been checked? The passages, entrances?" Asked Sirius seriously.

"Even the Secret Chamber has wards and protection placed there." Said Harry to the adults, while he took Hermione's hand looking for some support, thing that his girlfriend would never deny.

"I love you." Said Harry through the link.

"So do I." Answered Hermione with a little kiss on his cheek.

"Ahem, can we continue with this?" Asked Dumbledore to the teens.

"Harry, I think you should see this!" Said George suddenly.

Harry and Dumbledore went to see what was the problem. It shocked Albus when he saw it: 2 Dragons were coming towards the School. At his side, Harry was grinning widely.

"I owe you and your friend a big one!" Said Harry to Charlie.

"Anytime!" Said the redhead with a smile.

"You brought Dragons??" Asked the adults to Harry while Charlie went to greet his friends who came with the beasts.

"Special defenses." Said Harry simply.

"What other defenses you have and you didn't tell us?" Asked Albus surprised with the Dragon's presence.

"The TOKT." Said the teen with a mysterious smile.

"TOKT?" Asked Minerva with a raised eyebrow.

"The Team of Kamikazes Teddies. That will be the best thing of all!" Said Harry before he left the room and went to check the Dragons.

"That will be interesting." Said Dumbledore with a smile going to see the Dragons.

"What is a Kamikaze?" Asked someone to Minerva.

"They were suicidal warriors that fought for Japan at the World War 2. I think that I have a slight idea of what Harry is planning." Said Remus with an evil grin.

****

That night for dinner, all of the students decided to sleep at the Hall together. The twins, Harry, Ron and Hermione joined them, knowing that this could be the last time to be with their friends and schoolmates. George left his place with the map to be there and Snape took his place while Dumbledore took the leadership while Harry was there too.

After dinner, the Hall was full of sleeping bags and all of the students were sat over them talking with the others. Harry turned on a little fire and made the Hall look like a little forest. The roof gave the touch of being sleeping outside to all of them.

While the students talked about things like family, the battle, worries, dreams and fears, Harry made appear a guitar and started to play it slowly, singing some song in Spanish. Everyone turned their attention to her him, though not many understood what the song was about.

Suddenly, Harry heard someone else playing an instrument. He looked up from the guitar and saw Dean playing the harmonica following his tone with success. Harry smiled to him and went on singing.

"You caught the rhythm quickly." Said Harry to his year mate when they finished the song. Around them everyone clapped.

"I have a cousin that likes Leon Gieco. She taught me to play his songs with the harmonica." Said Dean with a smile of pride.

"Who is Leon Gieco?" Asked Hermione curious.

"He's a singer from Argentina. His songs usually are about the problems of the society. The one that we played is called 'La Colina de la Vida.' In English it would be something like 'The Hill of the Life'." Said Harry before he asked Dean: "Do you remember how to play 'Solo le Pido a Dios' ('I Only Beg to God')?"

"Sure." Said the other teen before both of them started to play the new song.

"It was a nice song." Said Dumbledore to both teens when they finished it, and every student clapped for it.

"Thanks." Said Harry putting aside the guitar and asked: "Any change?"

"It's quiet." Said Minerva entering at the Hall with the other Head of House. They had gone to check their students, leaving Sirius with the Map.

"Who has done the work with the Hall'" Asked Flitwick taking a look at the Hall that now was a little forest.

"Guilty of the charge." Said Harry with a smile and a bow to the Charms Professor.

"It looks like you went to a camping!" Chuckled Minerva taking a good look around and seeing the fire that her Godson had started.

"Let's add some tents and it would be a camping!" Said someone laughing.

"You want tents, you have them!" Said Dumbledore with a smile and making appear some tents around the Hall.

"Cool!" Said Ron while the other students took their sleeping bags and put them in the tents.

"Some Death Eaters are trying to enter through one of the passages!" Said Sirius suddenly through the link.

"Tap the end and the beginning of the passage twice and then do it again with the Death Eaters." Said Harry before any of the adults could say something.

"What will it do?" Asked Dumbledore confused.

"It will destroy the passage and transport the Death Eaters to the Dungeons." Said Harry before he took the guitar again and started to play it, followed by Dean's harmonica once more.

"We have 10 Death Eaters at the Dungeons and a passage destroyed." Informed Sirius a few moments later to the adults.

"Let's leave them alone. We aren't needed here." Suggested Albus to the Professors watching Harry and Dean singing with everyone's attention turned to them, and the adults forgotten. The 4 Heads of House nodded and left the Hall in silence.

Both Gryffindors went on singing for another while before they decided to do something else: tell stories, talk about their years at Hogwarts or the foreigner Schools, teachers and other things. This went on till 3.30 a.m. when Harry sent everyone to sleep in the tents. If there was an attack early, they had to be rested for it.

****

The next morning after breakfast, the 5 MNG returned to the Room while the Prefects started to patrol again and the other students moved around the School, never leaving the Castle.

"I hate this quietness." Said Harry to George while both of them were watching the Map.

"It won't last a lot." Said the twin with a serious voice.

"I know it and it worries me." Said Harry checking the grounds and the passages. During that night, another 3 had been destroyed and another 20 Death Eaters had been imprisoned.

"It seems that Voldemort wants to scare us." Said George pointing to a big group of Dementors who were going to the School.

"Activate the alarm!" Said Harry leaving the room in a rush and going to the grounds while George sent a message through the link.

"Dementors have apparated at the grounds! I repeat, Dementors at the grounds!" These words were heard by every member of the Council and Dumbledore informed the School magnifying his voice requesting to all of the students who could cast a Patronus to go to help.

As soon as Harry was outside in the grounds, he began to cast his triple Patronus. The Dementors were almost 500 and were going quickly towards the entrance, being stopped only by the 3 animals.

After a few moments more Patronus started to appear. The rest of the Council and a lot of students went to help Harry and stop the creatures before they could enter at the Castle.

"We need a change in the tactics!" Said Harry when more and more Dementors started to apparate and some of the fighter started to show signs of tiredness.

"We hear suggestions!" Said Dumbledore casting his Patronus, a Phoenix.

"Charlie, start a fire!" Said Harry through the link to the redhead.

A few moments later, the 2 Dragons, a Ridgeback Norwegian and Hungarian Horntail, fled over the grounds and started to throw balls of fire starting fires that cornered the Dementors.

Harry summoned his broom and went to fight them from the air. Some students and teachers followed his example and did the same. The Dementors, rounded by the fire and attacked with the Patronus from the air, didn't last a lot. Less than 20 minutes after the Dragons' attack, there wasn't anymore of the Dementors.

As soon as they landed, Death Eaters started to apparate and attack the Hogwarts' defenses. The students and Professors started the counter attack while they started the retreat to the Castle. They were tired from the fight with the Dementors to stand another one with the Death Eaters in that moment.

"Create a barrier of fire between they and us! It's our only way to leave alive!" Shouted Harry to Charlie through the link. The redhead, who was riding the Horntail, nodded and made a signal to the other rider to create the barriers to ensure the retreat of them.

A few moments later, a big barrier of fire separated the Death Eaters of the Castle's defensive group. The group, seeing the chance, started to run towards the School as fast as they could.

"You can't escape from me!" Shouted someone who had just appeared at the Grounds: Voldemort.

"We are not escaping, Tom! But the moment of our fight has not reached yet!" Shouted back Harry before he made appear a bow and said: "This is to remember me!" Then he shot an arrow that hit Voldemort on his eye.

"You'll pay me for this one, Potter!" Shouted Voldemort in pain removing the arrow of his left eye.

"Soon, Tom, soon!" Said the teen before he closed the doors of entrance leaving the Death Eaters outside.

"Is everyone ok?" Asked Dumbledore as soon as the doors were closed.

There were many nods, though some students were injured or didn't feel well after the fight with the Dementors. All of them were sent to the Hospital Wing to be checked. The adults went to the Room.

"He started to show his face." Said Albus as soon as all of the Council's members were sat.

"Are the Death Eaters still on the grounds?" Asked Harry, who was eating some chocolate, to George.

"No, they moved to Hogsmeade. They started to apparate there 15 minutes ago. I didn't have any chance to warn you about it." Said George sheepishly.

"It's ok. This time we had luck." Assured Albus to the redhead.

"Shall we set the wards now?" Asked Minerva to her Godson.

"In which part of Hogsmeade are they?" Asked Harry to George while Albus explained them about the wards that the House Elves would set.

"Near the entrance of the Town. Not very far from the School." Said the twin checking the Map.

"Dobby, place the special wards and add Hogsmeade too!" Shouted Harry through the fireplace to the House Elf.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the School is disconnected from the world till the end of the battle." Said Harry seriously to the Council, when Dobby went to tell him that the work had been done with success.

"This will last till the death of Voldemort or the destroy of the School." Said Dumbledore seriously.

"As I said, the war ends here. If Tom dies, we win. If we fail, nothing will stop him. It's to all or nothing, there is no mid point." Said Harry with a decided and serious tone of voice.

"Till the end!" Said the members of the Council showing their agreement to this. It was to win and live or lose and die. And none of them wanted to think in the second possibility.

****

That afternoon, Harry and Hermione joined the patrols around the School. They wanted to leave the room at least for a while and this was their only choice to do it.

"I'm scared." Said Hermione while both of them walked near the Great Hall.

"So am I. But we can't give up now." Said Harry hugging her tightly.

"I love you and I don't want to lose you, Harry. You are the only thing I have." Said Hermione with tears in her eyes.

"Do you think that I don't feel the same? I worry everyday about you. If I lose you, I don't know what I could do." Said Harry hugging her more tightly.

Suddenly, Hermione felt dizzy. It wasn't the first time it had happened, though she had never told anyone. She stopped for a moment to rest till she felt better.

"What's wrong?" Asked Harry worriedly seeing her.

"I felt a little dizzy. It must be because of the worry and the tension that we are going through now." Said the girl kissing her boyfriend.

"Why don't you go to see Madame Pomfrey?" Asked Harry not convinced at all with her words.

"I'm fine, Harry, just a little tired. Nothing else." Said Hermione.

"If you say so." Said Harry not convinced, but leaving the matter aside.

"How is your patrol?" Asked Blaise Zabini going to them with Draco Malfoy, who has been named interim Prefect for the Emergency. After the battle, it would be decided if he would be one permanently or not.

"Quiet. Yours?" Asked Hermione while the 4 teens walked together.

"Same here." Said Draco.

"When do you think that they'll attack again?" Asked Blaise to Harry.

"If they continue with this pattern, the next attack will be tomorrow. It's just a matter of time before Voldemort attacks the School with full strength. Till now, they had been little attacks. He'll lead the biggest one." Said Harry seriously.

"It seems that after this, the differences and rivalries will be forgotten between our Houses." Said Blaise suddenly to the 3 Prefects.

"It's a pity that we have to do it for this occasion. The rivalries have lasted too much." Said Hermione. The 3 boys nodded in agreement and the 4 parted their ways, Draco and Blaise continuing their patrol in that floor, while Harry and Hermione went to the Dungeons.

****

"We have Death Eaters at the grounds!" Shouted George through the link the next morning at 6.00 a.m. waking all of the Council's Members.

"How many?" Asked Harry when he entered at the room, still changing his clothes properly. The rest of the Council entered after him, most of them doing the same.

"Almost 100 at the grounds and 40 at 2 of the last 3 Passages." Said George checking the Map.

"You know how to fix the Passages. Go to the grounds and wait for my signal to start to fight." Instructed Harry to the adults.

"What are you planning?" Asked Dumbledore while the other adults left the room and went to the fight.

"The TOKT will do their work." Said the teen with an evil smile tapping a big box that was in a corner of the room.

The box started to change into 4 different airplanes. Their doors were opened and 50 teddies entered in them. All of them were wearing clothes of combat and make up of soldiers. Harry tapped the planes and opened the windows. A few moments later the 4 planes fled out of the room and the teen went to sit with the twin and the Headmaster.

"What is your evil mind planning this time, dear Blaze?" Asked George while the 4 planes were flying above the Death Eaters and the teddies started to jump out of them.

"Just the chaos and a carnage." Said Harry while he watched the teddies touching the Death Eaters and exploding, killing the wizards at the moment that the teddies touched them.

"I would feel pity for them if it wasn't by the fact that they are Death Eaters." Said George watching the chaos that the teddies were making.

"Attack now!" Said Harry through the link to the Council's Member who were waiting the signal and watched the scene of the carnage.

The groups of Death Eaters, still shocked with the TOKT, was surprised with the attack from the Order. They tried to defend themselves, but the Order used the initial surprise on their favor and it didn't take them a long time before all of the DE were stunned or death in some cases.

"He needs better followers." Said Albus with a chuckle after the end of the combat.

"It was a carnage!" Said Remus when the Council entered at the room a few minutes later.

"What did you expect, Moony? A tea party?" Asked Sirius taking seat near his Godson.

"I called them Kamikazes for a reason. Now you know it." Said Harry with his evil smile.

"It'll take some time to recognize the bodies, I'll tell you." Said Moody with seriousness.

"Take your time." Said Harry simply.

"The Death Eaters have been sent to the prison." Said Kingsley to Dumbledore.

"How many Death Eaters still has Voldemort? An approximated number." Said Harry turning on a cigarette.

"We think that there are between 600 and 800, a few more, a few less." Said Tonks reading a report.

"Check the Secret Chamber!" Said Harry suddenly to George, who as usual was sat next to the Map.

"We have some Death Eaters moving there." Said the twin checking it.

"You'll find a little statue in the room that represents the Chamber, tap it twice." Said Harry.

"What does it do?" Asked Albus not sure that he wanted the answer while the redhead did it.

"Another of my surprises." Said Harry mysteriously before he asked to George: "Any change?"

"Another 30 Death Eater dead." Said the twin after a few moments.

"I expected a bigger group for the Chamber." Said Harry simply, before he added to George: "Destroy the last Passage. It's time to drive Voldemort to the trap in our terms."

"What trap?" Asked everyone confused, while the twin did what he had been asked to do.

"The final hit." Said Harry before he signaled Hermione to come with him for a Prefect's patrol.

"Albus, what is he planning?" Asked Severus to the Headmaster.

"I don't know, Severus and I'm not sure that I want to do it." Said Albus with a serious tone of voice.

****

"George, leave us alone." Said Harry to the twin that night at the room. He was there with the Headmaster, who wanted to talk with the teen.

"I'll go to sleep at the Tower. Call me if you need me back." Said George before he used one of the doors and went to his dorms.

"What are you planning, Harry? I don't want more evasive here." Said Albus as soon as he and the student were alone.

"Read this." Said Harry giving Dumbledore the folder that Bill had sent him a few months ago.

"It's a prophecy about what happened when you were a baby with Voldemort, your parents and everything else." Said Dumbledore reading the first pages.

"The next parts are about my childhood, the first 4 years of the School, but this is what I want you to read." Said Harry showing him a page of the folder. Dumbledore took it and read it aloud:

'For the time of the eggs,

The Snake will attack the Sanctuary once more.

The Dragon will lead the Resistance

Against the Evil as he did before.'

"The time of the eggs mean Easter, the Snake is Voldemort, the Sanctuary is Hogwarts, the Resistance is the Order and the Students and I'm the Dragon." Said the teen when Albus made a stop in his reading. Dumbledore nodded and continued:

'For days, the Dark Forces will attack

But the Light will repel them with success.'

"This is what has been happening lately." Said Dumbledore to the teen who nodded and the old wizard went on:

'The final battle will face both sides

At a war without limits.

Old rivalries in the Sanctuary

Will be forgotten forever

And the Childs of the Light

Will be together for a common goal.'

"The hate between the 4 Houses will disappear." Said Harry. Dumbledore nodded and went on:

'Relatives against relatives,

Friend against friend,

Foe against foe,

The fight will see them fighting for their life.

But everyone expects the last fight.

The Dragon and the Snake will fight again

This time in a battle with no more exit

Than the dead of one or both of them.'

"I don't want to read the next parts yet. I don't want to know if I will live or die before the fight." Said Harry putting the folder in the former place where it was.

"So this is reduced to the fight between you and Voldemort." Said the Headmaster seriously.

"Indeed it is. If I die and Voldemort lives, I have prepared things to not let him win completely." Said Harry turning on a new cigarette.

"What do you mean with that?" Asked Dumbledore.

"If the battle is lost and everyone dies, the Elves have orders to destroy the School as soon as Voldemort and his followers are in here. I won't let him take the School." Said the teen with his most serious tone of voice.

"A drastic but necessary decision." Agreed the old wizard, who thought as him in that matter.

"I was sure that you would agree with me on that." Said Harry with a thank to his Mentor.

"I would do the same. I prefer to see the School destroyed to have it on the Dark Side's hands." Said Dumbledore more serious than Harry had ever seen him.

"I want you to have this. If I die and you survive, read it. If I survive, forget that I showed it." Said Harry giving him a piece of parchment.

"My last will." Said the teen before the old wizards could ask him what it was.

"All of us have done it and most have given it to me." Said Dumbledore putting the parchment on his robes.

"Could you send someone to be here with the Map tonight? I want to sleep." Asked Harry with a yawn.

"I'll tell Severus to come." Said the Headmaster before he left the room and the teen went to bed.

****

"EVERY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL COME TO THE ROOM NOW!!! CODE ONE!!!" Shouted Snape through the link at 6.00 a.m.

"He's planning the last attack!" Said Harry to his friends while they entered to the room using one of the entrances that was at the Gryffindor Tower.

"It's the last attack. He's using all of his forces." Said Snape as soon as everyone was gathered at the room.

"Dobby, come here!" Shouted Harry to the Elf through the fireplace.

"Did you call Dobby, Harry Potter sir?" Asked the House Elf a few moments later.

"Do what we talked and go and tell Firenze and the other creatures of the Forest to get ready for the fight." Said Harry seriously. The little creature nodded and disappeared with a 'pop'.

"Some new changes of last moment?" Asked Dumbledore to the teen.

"A few ones. First, the portkeys won't work tapping them anymore. Now to activate them you have to think: 'This place is unsafe, take me to a safer place.' Second the Elves will set a barrier around the grounds. With this new ward, everyone who isn't marked will be able to leave the grounds at any moment. The Death Eaters will enter, but won't leave." Explained Harry to the others who nodded in understanding.

"Before we go to the fight, there is something that we must tell you. In case that the fight is lost and we die, the House Elves have orders to destroy the School as soon as Voldemort and his followers are inside. Hogwarts will never be taken by them." Said Dumbledore seriously.

"We have to talk with the students." Said Minerva to Albus when everyone nodded in agreement to this decision.

"Let us talk with them. The students will see us as their fellow Schoolmates and that will help us." Suggested Harry to the Heads of Houses while the other MNG nodded to his words.

"Gather the students at the Great Hall." Instructed Dumbledore to the Professors agreeing with the teens.

"Good luck to all of you." Said Harry before he and his friends left the room and went to the Hall.

The 5 friends walked in silence, there was no need of words. At the Great Hall, all of the students were sat at their Tables in silence. When the 5 Gryffindors entered, everyone turned to see them.

"It will happen today. Voldemort is here with all of his followers to launch the last attack." Said Harry going to the front and talking to the 4 Houses and the 2 foreigner Schools.

"When will it start?" Asked someone from Ravenclaw.

"Soon. As we talk some last moment's measures are being taken." Said Harry before he explained them the change in the Portkeys and the barriers that the Elves would create.

"This ends today. Two things might happen when this finishes. One of them, the one that all of us want, is that Voldemort dies and we have to worry only in reconstructing the School, taking care of the injures and, Merlin forbid it, bury the dead. The last one, our worst nightmare, is Voldemort winning and we dying. In case that the last thing happens, he won't take the control of this Castle. Hogwarts will be destroyed before it falls on his hands." Said the teen to his fellow students.

"All of us, except the students form Dumstrang and Beauxbatons, have been here for 5, 6 or 7 years. We grew up, found friends, we fell in love, fought, knew the happiness and sadness, successes and failures, found mentors in some of our teachers, enemies in others. But we have felt this School as our Home.

"Let's show Voldemort that the Students of this School can forget the hate and ancient rivalries to reach to a common goal. Let's show them the true meaning of being a student of Hogwarts and a member of each of our Houses.

"Let's face this battle, the last of this war, together till the end!" Finished Harry.

As he finished, the 6 Tables burst in claps of support to his words. His words had done its job: raise their spirits and get them ready to the fight. This was the time to see the others as friends and not as member of rival Houses. The School needed all of them at the same side.

"Never surrender, never retreat!" Shouted Harry pointing his wand to the ceiling. From it, sparks flew and started to create a part of the School's crest. The rest of the students understood what he was doing and followed him. Soon, a big image of the Hogwarts' Crest was over the tables. Near them, were also the Dumstrang and Beauxbatons Crest, who were decided to support Hogwarts on this.

"FOR THE VICTORY!!!!" Shouted someone. This words were chorused by all of the students.

Harry left the Hall with his wand at his hand and was followed by all of the students who also had their wands out. All of them had a decided look in their faces. They reached to the doors where Dumbledore and the Order at full was waiting.

"What did you tell them?" Asked Minerva to her Godson. Harry's only answer was the image of the Great Hall with the 3 Crests on the ceiling.

"Let's go!" Said Harry opening the doors and leaving the Castle ready to face Voldemort and his followers.

At the Grounds of the School, Voldemort was waiting with the Death Eaters for them. Both armies, who were huge, went to the center of the grounds and both Leaders, Harry and Voldemort looked at each other with hate.

"ATTACK!" Shouted both of them at the same time. The Battle of Hogwarts had started and nothing would be the same when it finished.

****

In the same moment those words were said, spells, curses and jinxes were shot from one side to the other. One spot stayed clear of them: the center. In that place were standing Harry James Potter, the leader of the Light, and Tom Marvolo Riddle, a.k.a. Lord Voldemort, the leader of the Dark.

Suddenly Harry flicked his wand and a dome appeared over them surprising everyone. The Death Eaters and the Order and the students alike, tried to break it shooting curses and hexes, but nothing happened to the dome. With a new flick of his wand, Harry made appear an invisible wall in the dome that separated him from Voldemort.

"What games are you playing, Potter?" Asked Voldemort trying to destroy the wall or the dome, but failing.

"You'll know soon." Answered the teen before he contacted Dumbledore and said: "Forget the dome. As long as I'm alive this dome will remain. Concentrate in the Death Eaters. Voldemort is mine."

"What are you planning and what is this dome?" Asked Albus signaling everyone to attack while the Death Eaters still tried to break the shield.

"It's the last resort. I'm the only person who can erase it. If I live and he dies, it will disappear. If Voldemort kills me, it will collapse and destroy everything at the way to the center." Explained Harry while he watched the battle.

"It will destroy him but also your body." Said Dumbledore stunning some Death Eaters.

"I'll be dead in that case, anyway!" Exclaimed Harry.

"I hope that you know what you are doing." Was Albus' answer to his words.

"So do I." Said the teen before he cut the link.

"Are you a coward now, Potter?" Asked Voldemort to the teen after 15 futile minutes of trying to break the dome and the wall.

"The time for our fight hasn't arrived yet, Tom." Stated Harry making appear a little screen on the wall of the dome.

"Are you planning to watch TV now?" Asked the Dark Lord with a snort.

"No, with this we'll see the fights between your Death Eaters against my forces. I'll suggest you to make yourself comfortable. We'll do this for quite a while." Explained Harry making appear an armchair and a goblet of juice.

"Can I suggest a fight to see?" Asked Voldemort making appear a copy of his throne.

"I'm all ears." Said the teen.

"Your Godfather seemed to have found his cousin and one of my most loyal servants, Bellatrix Lestrange. Why don't we start with that?" Asked Voldemort with his evil smile.

"I agree." Nodded Harry to his enemy and with a flick of his wand, the screen began to play images of Sirius and the Death Eater.

****

As Voldemort had said, Sirius Black was facing Bellatrix Lestrange, his cousin. Both of them looked to the other with great hate and ready to kill the other. The Death Eaters that were with her and the Order's Members that were with Sirius had left them alone.

"I see that you still follow that coward that you call Master." Said Black with hate while he and Lestrange were circling with their wands ready to fight.

"Crucio!" Shouted Bellatrix hearing his words.

"The same coward of always!" Shouted Sirius ducking out of the Curse, before he shouted: "Flamirion!"

"You won't defeat me with that and you know it!" Shouted Bellatrix shooting the counter curse and stopping Sirius' attack.

"You are right on that. We'll have to do it fighting without our wands. We know each other too well to do it with magic." Said Black putting his wand on his robes.

"Start to pray, Black!" Shouted the Death Eater going towards Sirius with a knife.

Sirius and Lestrange caught themselves in a fight of fist, kicks and knives with one mission for both of them: kill their opponent. Movements and hits were done with great accuracy, but not killing any of them.

"Say goodbye, dear Cousin!" Said Lestrange holding a knife with Sirius laying on the grass, unable to fight her.

"Fuck you, Lestrange!" Spat Black, not wanting to ask mercy never.

"Good words for the last ones!" Laughed Bellatrix ready to kill him.

Sirius got himself ready for the hit, but it never came. Suddenly he heard a loud 'thud' and the woman fell dead next to him. On her back, there were arrows. The old Marauder looked around and found the source of them: Firenze and the Centaurs were leaving the Forest to join the battle. But the Centaurs weren't the only Creatures who did it: Unicorns, Acromantulae and other Beasts were joining too.

"I owe you a big one." Thanked Sirius to Firenze going to the group of Centaurs. He had met them during the epidemic at the School. Albus had sent him to the Forest to be the contact between the Centaurs and the School, in case they were the group who found the cure.

"You are welcome." Said Firenze before he turned to the Creatures and said: "It's our time to fight. Attack only the Death Eaters!"

In that moment the last part of the Light's army joined the Battle and every piece of the game was in the board. Now the only thing that mattered was who would be the winner of this game, which prize was the Wizarding World.

****

"You need better followers, Tom." Laughed Harry seeing the Creatures entering at the fight.

Voldemort's answer was 10 different curses and hexes against the wall that remained unbreakable. Harry shook his head and saw him amusedly.

"And learn to control your temper." Added Harry with an evil laugh.

"You'll be dead when this wall is gone. Hogwarts will be mine despite all of your efforts." Said the Dark Lord as Harry changed the image in the screen once more.

"Did you really think that I wouldn't find your spy at the Council, Tom? Maybe he doesn't have the Mark on his arm, but certainly is easy to see like one of your followers." Said Harry watching the fight that had started to play. In that fight were a family: the Weasleys. Percy was fighting side to side with the Death Eaters and his brothers would stop him even if they had to kill him to do it.

****

The Weasleys siblings were in a isolated part of the battle field. In there, was Percy facing Ron, the twins and Bill. Charlie was in another part riding the dragon, while Ginny was far from the School.

"Why, Percy? Why did you betray the family?" Asked Bill ducking out a disarming spell shot by his brother, while Fred shot a stunning spell.

"I want the power. That's something you can't get staying with the family." Said the former Head Boy avoiding the Fred's spell and stunning the twin a moment later.

"And you think that you'll get it joining the Dark Side?" Asked Ron shooting 3 charms in row and ducking some of his brother's.

"You don't understand it!" Shouted Percy before he hit George with the Cruciatus Curse and stunning Bill when the oldest redhead went to help the screaming twin.

"I thought I knew you better, Percy. The Dark Side will never win." Said the fifth year, feeling as the rage increased inside of his body more and more.

"You are wrong in that, Ron! We'll win! My Lord is more powerful than that fool of Potter!" Shouted Percy attacking Ron with 5 hexes.

"Harry is a better man than you and that coward that you call Master! He never denied the family as you and Voldemort did! You are a failure!" Shouted Ron, shielding himself of the attack.

"Avada Keda...!" Started to shout Percy but Ron attacked him first.

"Expelliarmus!" Shouted Ron hitting his brother with full strength.

Ron's attack hit him fully and Percy's wand exploded at that moment killing him. The youngest of both siblings went to make sure of it, before he woke his other brothers.

"He's dead." Said Ron to Bill before he let the rage inside of him take control and went to the battle ready to not leave any Death Eater alive if he could.

"Should we stop him?" Asked Fred to his brothers watching as Ron attacked the Death Eaters at right and left.

"It's better for him to release his anger at the Death Eaters rather than us. I want to leave this place alive if I can." Said Bill joining the battle with the twins.

****

"Another loser." Commented Harry to the Dark Lord.

"Nothing will matter here if you die, Potter. Nothing will stop me then." Retorted Voldemort with a sneer.

"Gather the Quidditch Players. We'll use a new tactic." Said Harry to the twins through the link.

****

"Accio Broom!" Shouted all of the students who were in a House Team.

Harry had told the twins that they could use the broom to attack the Death Eaters from the sky and the twins had given the message to all of the students who had one. Those students had agreed and summoned the brooms. Now the flyers joined Charlie Weasley and his friend, who were riding the Dragons.

On the floor the students who had been part of the Dueling Tournaments had decided to follow their example and formed a group. All of them were in circle fighting against the Death Eaters.

Suddenly loud thuds were heard and everyone turned to see the Giants who joined the Battle, being leaded by Hagrid and Madame Maxime. The Ground Keeper wasn't alone in this, with him was...

"Hagrid, where did you get Fluffy??" Asked Harry to his friend through the link, while the three-headed dog started to cause damage eating Death Eaters.

"He has lived at the Forest all this time." Smiled the Half Giant while he joined the Giants at the battle.

"He's more nutters than you, Harry." Commented Ron through the link.

"The next thing we'll know is Norbert coming here." Said Harry with sarcasm thinking in the Dragon that Hagrid had got in their first year.

"Turn around." Said suddenly Hermione to her friends listening their chats.

"Why...?" Started to ask Ron but he stopped when he saw a new Dragon entering at the grounds, this one without rider.

"Is anyone missing here?" Asked Harry to his friends, recognizing the Ridgeback Norwegian.

"I can't think of any." Retorted Hermione shaking her head.

"The Skrewts maybe." Suggested Ron.

"Will Hagrid take to the battle every creature we've studied in his classes?" Asked Harry suddenly seeing Buckbeak entering at the Battle with more Hippogriffs.

"Most probably." Commented Hermione attacking a Death Eater and cutting off the chat from her side.

"Nutters. You, Dumbledore and Hagrid are completely nutters!" Exclaimed Ron joining the fight again.

****

Harry cut off the link too and returned his attention to his nemesis, who looked not happy with every turn in the events. He wasn't expecting at all the giants, Fluffy and the Hippogriffs.

"Getting impatient, Tom?" Asked the teen with a sneer.

"Damn you, Potter!" Cursed Voldemort attacking the Dome once more, and failing as he had done it before in breaking it.

"It won't work. I'm the only one who can make it disappear." Said Harry shaking his head.

"Then fight as a man and not as a baby like your father!" Shouted the Dark Lord.

"Wrong thing to say." Said the Gryffindor waving his hand.

Immediately Voldemort felt a wave of electricity all over his body. It lasted 5 minutes and could be compared with the Cruciatus. The Dark Lord made great efforts to not shout in pain, that was a lot.

"Be quiet if you don't want more punishments like that." Warned Harry changing the image of the screen to the fight among the Teachers and the Death Eaters.

****

In another part of the battlefield, Dumbledore, Minerva, Severus, the old Marauders and the other members of the staff were fighting. They were in a circle, back to back.

"Severus, watch out!" Shouted Remus to the Head of Slytherin when a Death Eater shot a stunning spell against him.

"Thanks, Lupin!" Said Snape saying the counter curse and repelling the attack and stunning the Death Eater who had attacked him.

"It seems that everyone has came to the party!" Commented Sirius to the Headmaster watching the last group that had joined the battle.

"Remind me to thank Hagrid for his help." Said Minerva stunning another Death Eater.

"When will Potter open the Dome?" Asked Flitwick attacking another Death Eater.

"He won't. He'll kill Voldemort before he opens it. If Harry dies, the Dome will disappear disintegrating both of their bodies." Explained the Headmaster stunning a group of 5 Death Eaters.

"It's a suicide!" Exclaimed the teen's Godparents hearing those words.

"Like he had said, this finishes here. He won't let Riddle win. Even if that means that he has to sacrifice himself to do it." Said Albus in a serious tone of voice.

"He lost his mind!" Exclaimed Sirius worriedly.

"It's his choice, Sirius. There's nothing we can do to change it and you know it." Said Remus sadly.

"Avada Kedavra!" Shouted suddenly a Death Eater pointing his wand to the Headmaster, taking everyone by surprise.

"Albus!" Shouted all of the teachers seeing the green light going to Dumbledore, who knew that couldn't shield it or escape.

When Albus was getting himself ready to die, suddenly someone jumped in front of him and was hit by the spell. Everyone turned around and saw Severus laying dead in front of the old wizard.

"Thanks for your sacrifice, Severus." Said Albus with a sad tone of voice before he killed the Death Eater responsible of the death.

"We have to take the dead somewhere else." Said Remus looking around and seeing a lot of bodies from both sides laying at the field.

"Nymphadora, gather a few Aurors that are injured and do it." Instructed the Headmaster to the Auror, who nodded and started to do her mission.

"Destroy him forever." Said Dumbledore to Harry before he and the rest of the staff rejoined the battle once more.

****

"A word and you'll get another electrical shock." Threatened Harry to Voldemort, before the Dark Lord could speak.

"It's a pity that the one who died wasn't Dumbledore, but Severus deserved it too." Mumbled to Himself Voldemort. Unfortunately for him, Harry listened his words, and with a wave of his wand, Riddle received another electrical shock.

"I want you alive for the fight, Tom. If you continue like this, I'll fry you." Said Harry shaking his head.

"What do you intend with all of this, Potter? Why don't you fight?" Asked Riddle shouting to the teen.

"Like I said before, the moment for our battle hasn't reached. You'll know when. I'll decide it, not you." Said Harry simply before he added: "And for what I intend, it's easy. You'll see how your followers fall one by one till none of them are up to a fight. You'll never win this battle."

"We'll see, Potter, we'll see." Commented Voldemort, while he watched the new images that started to be played.

****

At every centimeter of the grounds, the fighter continued the battle. For every student that fell or portkeyed because of their injuries, there were 2 to continue the work. The students only used the portkey, when their injuries were too serious to go on fighting.

The number of Death Eaters, who at the beginning was higher that the School's defenders, now was beginning to decrease in alarming speed for the Dark Side. The work of the Students, Professor, Giants and Creatures at the same side, had reduced it to the half in the almost 3 hours that the battle had lasted till then. Many of them had tried to leave the grounds, but were stunned as soon as they found the barrier that had been set by the Elves.

The students were divided by year and not by House. This wasn't the moment to see the house they were in, now was the moment to fight and forget their differences.

Ron and Hermione, along all of their year mates, were battling near Hagrid's Hut. Of all of the fifth years, both friends, plus Neville, Seamus and Lavender Brown were for Gryffindor. Parvati, along her twin sister had left the School at the beginning of the battle a few days before. Dean had portkeyed himself just a few moments before when he saw that he couldn't continue due to his injuries. From Ravenclaw, Terry Boot and Mandy Brocklehurst were the only members of their House. The rest had portkeyed themselves or hadn't joined the battle at all. From Hufflepuff, Justin, Ernie, Susan and Hannah were the only ones there. They were the only fifth years of their House that had stayed at the School for the fight. From Slytherin, only Draco and Blaise were there. The rest had been sent away from the School after the test of loyalty made by the Lily and Fawkes or the attacks against the students.

"Portkey yourself, Ernie! You can't continue like that!" Shouted Hermione to the Hufflepuff seeing that the boy was bleeding a lot.

"I can..." Started to say Ernie, but couldn't continue, because he choked blood.

"Neville, portkey yourself with him!" Instructed Ron to his friend, seeing that he was also bleeding, but not as much as the Hufflepuff's boy.

"Good luck!" Said both of them, before they activated their portkeys and left the battle.

"Blaise, watch out!" Shouted Mandy seeing a Death Eater going to attack the girl. The Slytherin avoided the attack and stunned the dark wizard before she tanked the Ravenclaw for the warning.

"Want some help here?" Asked Katie joining them with the Chasers and the Twins, after finishing the fight from the sky.

"It's always welcome!" Shouted Draco stunning a Death Eater.

"It seems that it won't take a lot before Harry and Voldemort have their fight and finish this battle." Commented George looking around the grounds and seeing that there was no more than 150 Death Eaters, while there were almost 400 fighting for the Light Side.

"What is he planning with that Dome?" Asked Terry while he ducked a stunning spell and disarmed the Death Eater who had attacked him.

"Only Harry knows it." Answered Hermione, tackling down Alicia when a Death Eater tried to hit her with a Cruciatus. Immediately, Fred stunned him, while both girls stood and went on fighting.

Ron changed into his Animagus form and started to attack the Death Eaters like the Griffin while the other MNG protected him of the attacks, that were vicious and killers. His strikes made the Dark Wizards cover and run when they saw that their tries were futile against the beast.

Suddenly, a Black Panther and a Wolf joined him at his attacks. Looking around, trying to find out who were the 2 Animagus, the MNG saw that Draco and Katie missed.

"McGonagall trained her after we knew that you were Animagus." Explained Alicia pointing to the Panther, who attacked as viciously as the Griffin.

"Your Head of House also trained us, after he made the truce with Harry. I'm a lioness." Explained Blaise before she joined the 3 Animagus, in her form and attacked as vicious as the others.

"The School has this year more Animagus than all of the ones that have been trained and registered in the last Century." Commented Hermione with a little laugh.

Suddenly, everyone saw a fifth animal joining them: a big and black dog that meant that Sirius Black decided to fight in his Animagus form. With him, Remus, Albus, Minerva and Arabella went to the teens to fight with them.

"Nice group we have here." Said Minerva watching her students with one of her rare smiles, this one full of pride.

"We owe you a lot." Said Fred to his Head of House.

Before McGonagall could answer, Hermione felt nauseous again and looked like she would feint. Remus saw this, and caught her before she would feint there.

"Thanks, Moony." Said Hermione standing again with help of her former teacher.

"Are you ok?" Asked Albus concerned about her health.

"I've been feeling dizzy lately. I guess it's because of the tension and this fight." Answered the girl.

"Let me check you. Just to be sure." Said Dumbledore pointing his wand to the student and saying a few words.

"What is it?" Asked Remus to the Headmaster when he finished the exam.

"Do you know it?" Asked Albus to Harry through the link ignoring the werewolf's question.

"I cast that spell a few days ago and got the same answer you did. I know it." Said Harry simply.

"Know what?" Asked Hermione joining the chat, along everyone else.

"On Valentine, we got bingo. Twice." Said Harry simply.

"You mean that...?" Started to ask Hermione, with some fear in her voice.

"Yes, Mione, I mean that." Answered the teen with a smile.

"Oh, Merlin." Said Hermione before she fainted.

"Someone portkey with her, please." Ordered Harry to the group of teachers that were with her. Arabella took her in arms and both of them disappeared when their portkeys were activated.

"She is...?" Asked Ron joining their chat a few moments later, when the 5 Animagus had finished their attack and the Death Eaters were severely injured or dead.

"Twins." Said Dumbledore with his eyes twinkling.

"You better leave this damn battle alive, Harry! You have 3 persons who need you now!" Shouted Sirius to his Godson.

"Between my options, dying is not one of them, Sirius." Said Harry before he closed the link permanently.

"What is he planning with the Dome, Sirius?" Asked Fred to the Marauder.

"A suicide." Said Sirius before he told them what his Godson had in mind for the battle between he and the Dark Lord.

"He's insane!" Exclaimed Alicia when Sirius had finished.

"That's what he meant when he said that the fight finished today, no matter what happened, right?" Asked Neville remembering what his year mate had said at the Hall before the students went to the battle.

"Exactly." Nodded Dumbledore seeing other fights between students and the Death Eaters.

"Let's join the fights!" Said Ron to his friends before all of them returned their attention to the Death Eaters.

****

"Your girlfriend is ill, Potter? What a pity!" Smirked Voldemort, not knowing the truth. Harry's answer was another electrical shock that left the Dark Lord on the floor screaming with pain.

"I want you alive, Tom. Don't make me fry you." Said the teen with a evil smile.

"Why don't you stop covering with this damn wall and fight, Potter??" Shouted Voldemort his patience lost.

"You are right in that, Tommy. It's our time." Said Harry before he sat in the floor and closed his eyes.

All around the grounds, every Death Eater was frozen and couldn't move. From the Dome, suddenly began to appear a black light that went up to the sky and fell in all of the Dark Wizards stunning them in a moment.

"Now, Tom is our time." Said Harry standing from the floor and erasing the wall that separated them. The hardest of the battles of the whole history, both Muggle and Wizard, was about to start.

****

While Harry got ready for the fight, Dumbledore and the others went around trying to find out what the teen had done to the Death Eaters and what was the light that involved them.

"Oh Merlin." Said Albus after checking 5 Death Eaters. Everyone could see the usual twinkle in his eyes, but this time it was more present than usual.

"What did he do?" Asked Minerva curiously.

"He left them as Muggles. None of them has magic in themselves anymore." Said Albus before he turned to see the Dome and saw that the wall was gone.

"It's about to start." Said Remus, when he saw it too.

"Tell the Aurors to take the Death Eaters away. The students must portkey away from here too." Instructed Albus to Kingsley Shaklebolt and Professors Sprout and Flitwick, who nodded and went to do their mission.

All of the Council's Members (Dumbledore, Minerva, Bill and Charlie Weasley, Remus, Sirius and a few another ones) and students (Ron, the twins, the Chasers, Draco and Blaise) who remained at the grounds went near the Dome to see the Battle that would end this war forever.

****

"Last time we dueled, we didn't bow to each other. Why don't we do it this time?" Asked Harry to Voldemort, both of them with their wands ready.

"At least you remember some manners." Said the Dark Lord bowing at the same time the student did.

"Avada Kedavra!" Shouted Voldemort with his wand pointed to Harry's chest.

He just stood there till the green light was near him. When the curse was a few centimeters from him, Harry raised his hand and the Avada Kedavra hit it and a some fog appeared around him.

"You are dead!" Shouted Voldemort, before the fog disappeared.

"Not yet!" Shouted Harry returning the spell to Voldemort with his wand as if it was baseball's bat, shocking the Dark Lord completely. Voldemort, recovered himself from his shock and waved his wand making the light disappear.

"Impressive, Potter." Said Riddle, hiding his shock.

"Thanks, Tom." Said Harry simply before he shouted: "Soulium desvastus!"

"Do you really think that you'll do something with that?" Asked Voldemort repelling the attack that was the soul destroyer. It was very ancient and no one had used it in centuries. Riddle wondered how he had learnt it, but he dismissed this when the teen launched another attack.

"Fiernus Mantel!" Shouted the Dark Lord.

"Mantus Hierratus!" Exclaimed Harry repelling the attack.

****

Both fighters continued the attacks for a long time, while the only persons left at the grounds watched the battle in silence and in astonishment by the power shown by both of them.

"Who in the name of Merlin trained him?" Asked Minerva shocked.

"Myself." Said someone apparating behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a tall man wearing a blue robe using a hood over his head.

"I should have known it." Said Dumbledore with a smile watching the man shaking his hand.

"It's been a little more than 50 years since the last time we saw each other, Albus." Smiled the hooded man.

"Do you know who is he?" Asked Sirius watching them confused. The others were as confused and him.

"He helped me in my training when I had to defeat Grindelwald." Explained the Headmaster.

"I see that your memory is as good as it was in that time." Said the mysterious man with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Dumbledore curious.

"I'm here to take him to the other world or to help him to recover after the end of the fight. If I'm not wrong, he'll finish unconscious." Explained the man while he watched the battle.

"I presume that your training with him was like mine then." Commented Albus remembering his own training. The man just nodded.

"By Merlin's sake, who are you?" Snapped Sirius to the man losing his patience.

"Merlin himself." Said Albus with a smile.

"As I said, your memory is as good as it was years ago." Said Merlin lowering his hood to show his face. Everyone recognized him by the pictures of the books and paintings that were at the School, though he looked younger.

"I'm a heir of him. My Mission is to train our heirs." Explained the Merlin's heir when he was asked why he looked younger.

"He is heir of Merlin??" Asked Ron shocked.

"And also of the Four Founders, King Arthur and Morgan LeFey. In his veins, run the blood of the most powerful wizards in the whole history of the wizardry." Said Merlin simply.

""Oh God!" Said Katie completely shocked with this. All of the others, except Dumbledore, were shocked too.

"At least they didn't say your name." Chuckled Albus to Merlin.

"Harry said something else than that. He cursed me, his ancestors, God and the Devil along all of the angels, demons and the whole humanity. And it was in the first meeting when I told him about his ancestry." Said Merlin shaking his head.

"It doesn't surprise me at all. To curse someone, he's really good." Laughed Albus softly.

"Also for shouting, use his wand and curse everyone at sight. He was a bit hard at the beginning." Sighed Merlin.

"What made him change?" Asked Remus curiously, recovering from the shock of the news, along everyone else.

"He met Angelus, right?" Asked Dumbledore with his eyes full of twinkle.

"They drove me crazy!" Groaned Merlin.

"Who's Angelus?" Asked Minerva confused.

"Someone who's worst than the MNG, Peeves, the twins and the Old Marauders all together but multiplied by 50. That's the old Angelus." Said the Headmaster with a smile.

"After a while, Angelus quit to be with him. He became almost as bad as him." Commented Merlin watching the fight that went up in intensity in the curses and powers shown by Harry and Voldemort.

"He has some tricks for Voldemort, doesn't he?" Asked Ron as all of them watched the combat.

"A few ones." Said Merlin with a mysterious tone of voice, before he shut his mouth and pulled up his hood again.

"That's what you meant when you said that Merlin could be here with us?" Asked Minerva to Albus remembering the chat that they had had at the MNG's Room the first night of the School's siege.

"I didn't expect to see Merlin here, but yes, that what I meant." Explained Dumbledore before he turned his attention back to the duel.

****

"Tired, Tommy?" Asked Harry with a mocking after shooting 7 different spells in a row, not giving Voldemort any time to attack him.

"I'm not that easy to defeat, Potter!" Exclaimed the Dark Lord before he shouted: "Infernus Corporeus!"

"Cielarus Bendict!" Shouted Harry at the same time.

Both curses hit in the middle of the air. This time instead of producing another Priori Incantatem as it had happened in their last duel, both wands exploded, being reduced to ashes in the hands of both wizards.

"It seems that we'll need a change of weapons." Said Voldemort taking a sword from his robes. It was silver and its hilt had the form of a snake's tail.

"From Salazar Slytherin." Commented Voldemort.

"I have something better." Said Harry making appear a sword too.

"Excalibur from King Arthur." Said the teen getting ready to the sword fight.

"I'll have your head this time!" Shouted Voldemort in rage going against Harry ready for the sword fight.

"We'll see that!" Answered the teen attacking with the sword.

CLASH!!

Both wizards attacked and the swords crashed in the air. Both of them started to throw attacks right and left with their swords, all of them being parried by the other.

****

"I see that he learnt how to fight with the swords really well, Merlin." Commented Albus to the hooded man, who nodded without speaking a word to the others.

"What does that triangle mean?" Asked Ron suddenly realizing that inside the dome was the drawing of a big triangle. In each of their ends, there was a little monolite.

"Tell me he isn't planning that, Merlin!" Shouted the Headmaster, paling when he saw it. Once more none of them got an answer from him.

"Albus, what is it?" Asked Sirius worried with the paleness that the Headmaster had in his face.

"He'll destroy Riddle's soul, his magic and his body. The first monolite is for his magic, the second for his soul and the third for the ashes of his body." Explained Merlin before he shut his mouth again, never taking his eyes from the battle.

"Why are you so paled, Professor?" Asked Fred worriedly to the Headmaster.

"Because it can kill Harry while he does it, Fred." Explained Albus trying to contact Harry through the link, but he found it closed to everyone.

"He has decided it and no one will change his mind on this, Albus." Said Merlin seriously.

"Did you have to teach him that??" Asked shouting Dumbledore to his trainer.

"He wanted to know everything that could destroy Riddle no matter the consequences. I seem to remember that you did it too when I trained you 50 years ago." Stated as a matter of fact the ancient wizard.

"It's different! I was almost 100 years old if you remember, Merlin! He's 15!" Exclaimed Dumbledore. Everyone else watched the exchange in silence. None of them remembered the Headmaster being so angry with someone in a long time.

"Same situation, different ages." Said simply Merlin.

"Wasn't there any other thing you could teach him?" Asked the Headmaster.

"The other thing that I taught him was the dome that he is using now." Stated Merlin before he added: "The ritual is about to start."

"We haven't finished this talk." Told Albus to Merlin before all of them returned their attention to the dome.

****

Inside the dome, Voldemort found himself unable to move. He was frozen in the air, in a x position unable to move. At the grass, Harry was sitting with his eyes closed while the monolites started to shine.

From the ashes of Riddle's wand, the echoes of souls started to appear. Like it had happened last year, Harry's parents appeared along Cedric and many other ones. All of them watched the ritual wondering what was about to happen. The echoes started to leave the dome and stood behind it making a circle all around it.

When the last of them had appeared, Harry opened his eyes and started to speak in a quiet but audible voice, in a language that no one understood:

"Kirte Mutry Oru Pillus (Great Killer Of The Dark Side)

Nustie Lintr Buetrg Ziuft (Whose Soul Is As Dark As The Night)

Xergh Stry Juklew Bust (Responsible Of Much Grief And Pain)

Reftji Lintr Verw Ñoret Chur Hustuj (Lose Your Magic And What Makes You The Snake's Heir)"

After these words were said, a bright red light surrounded Voldemort and the Dark Lord screamed in pain as the light entered all over his body. Then the light left his body and went to the first monolite that went on shining for a few minutes. When the shining stopped, Voldemort looked different. His eyes weren't red anymore and his face wasn't so pale or white as before.

"What... have... you... done... to... me?" Asked Riddle in pain as Harry was about to start to speak again.

"You lost your magic and the ability to speak Parseltongue. Now you'll lose your soul." Explained Harry before he added in an afterthought: "That is, if you ever had one." Then he started to speak the language again:

"Kirte Mutry Oru Pillus (Great Killer Of The Dark Side)

Nustie Lintr Buetrg Ziuft (Whose Soul Is As Dark As The Night)

Xergh Stry Juklew Bust (Responsible Of Much Grief And Pain)

Aashre Lintr Thruny Quetrx Muntillk (Remove The Soul And The Darkness Of His Body)"

Once again, Voldemort was surrounded by a light, this time it was a bright yellow one. The light entered in his whole body and it started to shine and lights started to leave from his body. A few minutes later, a new echo left his body and was trapped by the light that took him to the second monolite.

Riddle soulless body fell to the floor with his eyes opened and staring to anywhere. Outside of the dome, the echoes of his victims looked shocked with this but some of them cheered when they realized that Voldemort was dead and their deaths had been revenged.

Harry stood from his place and went to the body, It was obvious to everyone that he was making great efforts to do it. When he was standing next to Riddle's body, he put a hand over his heart and muttered something:

"Wuthsr Cugtj Oru Kojth Muztr (The Heart Of The Dark Must Stop Forever)"

Immediately after these words were said, Tom's heart stopped and Voldemort was dead. But Harry hadn't finished, he returned to his position and started to speak again:

"Kirte Mutry Oru Pillus (Great Killer Of The Dark Side)

Nustie Lintr Buetrg Ziuft (Whose Soul Is As Dark As The Night)

Xergh Stry Juklew Bust (Responsible Of Much Grief And Pain)

Twung Cugtj Plejnm Gentmu (Whose Heart Was Stopped)

Ubtey Lkets Yhwredn Nadjugt (Be Reduced To Ashes Forever)"

After he said this, a new light involved the dead body of the Dark Lord. Very slowly, the body started to burn in ashes till nothing was left. The light took the ashes and entered at the last monolite that was sealed immediately.

"It's over." Said Harry to the echoes before he made disappear the Dome and collapsed to the floor with not a lot of energy at his body.

****

The group of students, Professors and adults who were watching the whole ritual, ran immediately to Harry when they saw him collapsing. Merlin was the first who arrived there and checked his pulse.

"Merlin, is he...?" Asked the echo from Lily Potter very worriedly, making the question that everyone had in their mind.

"I'm... still... alive... It's... not... that... easy... to... get... free... of... me..." Said Harry slowly, opening his eyes a little to see the adults, the echoes and Merlin.

"Great work." Smiled Merlin softly.

"I'm... tired,,," Said Harry before he lost the consciousness.

"He's sleeping." Said Merlin to everyone, putting his hand at his heart and muttering some words. A white light involved Harry for a few seconds before it faded.

"What will happen now with us?" Asked one of the echoes to the Order's Members and Merlin.

"I'll give you 30 minutes to say a final goodbye to your loved ones. After that you'll disappear forever. You won't return as ghost or echo." Said Merlin to the echoes.

"We are ready, Merlin." Answered James Potter after a few moments of discussion between all of them.

"You'll have a chance to speak with your son soon. First, he has to make a little trip along his soul mate." Explained the ancient wizard to James and Lily, before he snapped his fingers and all of the echoes, except the ones of the Potters, disappeared.

"Take care of his body. I'll pick Miss Granger and they'll be starting this trip very soon." Informed Merlin to the adults pointing to the teen, after receiving a nod from Harry's parents.

"How long will this trip last?" Asked Ron curious.

"2 weeks." Said the ancient man before he disappeared from sight.

"Hey Padfoot so long!" Exclaimed James to his best friend when Merlin was gone.

"Prongs, is it you?" Asked Moony watching the 2 echoes in shock. The rest of the presents were also shocked.

"Yes, Moony. It's me or the echo of me at least." Said James with a smile.

While the adults were trying to recover from the shock, the twins made signals to Blaise, Draco and the Chasers to activate their portkeys. All of them were out of place there and the best thing to do was leave them alone. The 5 gave them a nod of agreement, before the 7 teens said the words that would activate their transports and disappeared from the grounds going to the place where the others were.

"You are Ron Weasley, right?" Asked Lily to the redhead, who nodded.

"A true Weasley. We met your parents when we were at the Order of the Phoenix." Smiled Lily.

"Yes, now I'm a member along the rest of my family and Harry and Hermione." Said Ron with pride.

"Prongsie, Lily, you'll be grandparents! Your daughter-in-law is expecting twins!" Said Sirius with a mischievous smile.

"Grandparents??" Asked James and Lily in shock.

"Miss Granger is pregnant of almost 2 months now. She became pregnant after their first time together at Valentine." Explained Albus to the Potters.

"I don't want to imagine the mix of genes of those children. Their mother a bookworm and their father a prankster." Commented Minerva before she added to James: "And he alone, is worst than the Marauders in their times!"

"Hey, Harry had the same mix!" Said James mocking offense with the comments.

"You 2 can't compare yourselves with Harry and Hermione! They are far ahead from you in everything!" Exclaimed Remus.

"You hurt me, Moony!" Said Lily mimicking James reaction.

"He's right! His adventures can't be compared with yours!" Said Albus with a chuckle.

"Let's see who's worst." Said Ron before the adults could continue the little argument. Then he asked to the Marauders: "What is your record of broken rules in a School Year?"

"Almost 100 in seventh year. Yours?" Asked James with a smile of pride.

"What is our record?" Asked the redhead to the Headmaster and his Head of House.

"They broke 185 in their Second Year. And they weren't pranksters yet." Answered Minerva.

"185???" Asked the 3 Marauders and Lily in shock.

"We arrived in a flying car, we stole things from Snape's private stores, we made an illegal Polyjuice Potion, we entered the Slytherin Common Room impersonating 2 students, we went to the Forest, we tricked a teacher to get a permission to get a book from the Restricted Section of the Library, we broke the curfew quite a few times we paid many visits to a girl's bathroom." Recounted Ron thinking in the trio's second year.

"Thanks for telling us who stole the things from Severus' stores, Mr. Weasley." Said sternly McGonagall to the redhead.

"And we weren't pranksters yet." Said Ron, after a giving a smile to his Head of House.

"They are worst than us." Commented James after recovering from the shock of Ron's words.

"Did they leave any rule without being broken?" Asked Lily to Minerva and Albus.

"Yes, they haven't gone to the other sex's dorms." Answered Minerva.

"Me and Harry never did it, but Hermione paid a visit to our dorm at Christmas in our third year." Said Ron contradicting McGonagall's words.

"Then they didn't." Commented Albus with a smile.

"Animagus?" Asked James curious.

"Hermione is a Phoenix, I'm, a Griffin and Harry is a walking zoo. No one except him knows how many forms he has." Explained Ron, before he jumped a meter from the grass.

"What happened?" Asked everyone surprised.

"My mom decided to test how loud can she shout," Explained Ron before he added: "Gotta go. If I don't appear there soon, I will suffer a young death at her hands."

"Say hi to your parents from us." Said Lily before Ron activated his own Portkey.

"It's almost time." Said Merlin appearing again, a few seconds after Ron's leave.

"I guess this is our goodbye." Said Sirius to the echoes with a sad tone.

"Watch yourselves and take care of Harry and your great-Godchildren." Smiled Lily to the adults.

"Goodbye." Said Remus to James, while Albus and Minerva did the same to Lily.

"Good luck." Said James to his old friends before he and his wife disappeared.

"Take care of Harry and Hermione's bodies. If something happens to them while they are on the trip, they'll die and nothing will save them." Warned Merlin to the adults before he was gone.

"Go with the others while I tell the House Elves to erase the barriers." Instructed the Headmaster before he went to the Castle and the others left the grounds activating their portkeys, Sirius holding Harry's unconscious body at his arms.

****

While the adults started their talk with James and Lily's echoes, Merlin went to where Hermione and the rest of the fighters were. It was a big building with an improvised Hospital at the main room of the place. Medi- Wizards from all England were moving there taking care of the patients, healing injuries and giving them Potions to help them to recover and make them sleep.

Hermione was sat at a bed with Molly Weasley sat next to her. She was surprised when the teen told her about the pregnancy and that Hermione gave her the title of honorific Grandmother of the twins. Neither she or Harry had parents and she was the only person that could take the title.

"I have news for you, Miss Granger." Said Merlin going to her bed stopping a chat between the Weasley Matriarch and the Gryffindor student.

"Who are you?" Asked Molly pointing her wand at the man.

"I'm a friend. There's nothing to worry about." Said Merlin before he waved his hand and the wand went back to Molly's pocket.

"What news do you have for me?" Asked Hermione worriedly.

"The war is over and Riddle has been killed. Harry did the job." Said Merlin with a smile.

Around them, all of those persons who heard these words started to spread the news and cheers burst from every corner of the room. Doctors and patients alike cheered for the end of the war.

"How is Harry? Is he alive?" Asked the teen standing from his bed and facing the man. Her tone of voice was worried and she was near the tears, fearing a bad news.

"He's alive, but he'll need your help. He has to make a trip to recover from his injuries and needs you." Explained Merlin while the twins, Draco, Blaise and the 3 Chasers appeared at the Hospital Wing.

"FRED! GEORGE!" Shrieked Molly running to her sons and hugging the as strong as she could. The twins returned the embrace happy to see her once more.

"What do I have to do?" Asked Hermione seriously.

"Lay on bed and close your eyes. You'll fall in a long sleep."

Hermione did as she was told and laid on bed. Merlin put his hands at her heart and started to mutter some words. She was enveloped in a white light for a few moments before he removed the hands. He turned around to see the students and Molly watching him intently.

"What did you do to her?" Asked Alicia, going to the bed with the others.

"I put her to sleep. Like I said, there's nothing to worry about." Explained the old wizard before he checked his watch and said: "The time is almost over. I have to call the souls."

After he said these words, he disappeared from the room. The 7 students and Molly looked around trying to find him, but he was gone. Then the Weasley Matriarch went to check Hermione and found the teen sleeping peacefully.

"Who was he?" Asked the woman to the teens.

"Merlin." Said all of them at the same time.

While Molly tried to recover herself from the shock of these news, the Chasers went to see another students, while Blaise went with Draco to see her mother who was there.

"Where is Percy? He didn't come here and Charlie didn't know anything about him. Bill came here unconscious." Asked Molly to the twins.

"Mom, Percy was a Death Eater. He fought at the Battle for You-Know-Who's side. He fought against us." Said Fred with a serious tone of voice before he told his mother what happened between Percy, he, George, Bill and Ron.

"Ron killed him?" Asked Molly with tears. She couldn't believe that one of her own child had gone to the Dark Side.

"It was in self defense, Mom. If he hadn't done it in that moment, Percy would have killed us." Said George very seriously.

"Where is Ron?" Asked their mother looking around the place looking for her youngest son.

"He stayed at the School." Said Fred before he told her about the echoes.

"RONALD ARTHUR WEASLEY! I WANT YOU HERE RIGHT NOW!!" Shrieked Molly opening her link to Ron. She had been added to the link 6 weeks before. She was the only non-Council's Members who shared the link.

A few moments later, Ron appeared at the room and went to his family. Molly engulfed him in a bear hug that he returned immediately. The twins also joined it, giving support to their mother and brother.

"WE NEED A DOCTOR HERE!" Shouted Sirius appearing at the room with Harry's body at his arms, along Minerva and Remus. Immediately, Minerva transfigured a piece of paper in a bed and put it next to Hermione's.

6 doctors went immediately to the group, and while 2 of them checked the injuries of the Weasleys and the teachers, the rest of them started to check Harry. When Albus appeared there, one of the doctors checked him too.

The last battle of this war had been won by the light side and Voldemort had been killed forever. Now it was time to heal the injuries, clean everything and start to think about the future that looked brighter than ever now that the dark had disappeared.
