Harry Potter and the New Marauders
The Battle Begins
It was morning time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there was a large horn blowing. All the people awoke; they knew that sound meant to prepare for an attack. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Kelly, Heather, Ginny, Neville, Seamus, Luna, and Draco were all saying good-bye to one another as they separated. Harry, Kelly, Ginny, Draco, and Heather all headed off to the Air Assemblage, Luna and Hermione were off to the Brew Brigade, and Neville and Seamus were off to the Creature Contingent.
"This isn't a good-bye. We'll see each other, after the war. Right?"
They all nodded, and put their hands together. They then departed. Everyone got into their gear; all the Air Assemblage went into their Quidditch outfits, the Brew Brigade got into their best robes, and the Creature Contingent were given leather armor. They all gathered at the roofs of the castle, and looked upon their incoming enemies. Hundreds of Death Eaters were coming in, and a few of what seemed to be the leaders were riding Basilisks. Many of the younger students looked on in fear, but they held their positions. Heather felt a hand on her shoulder.
"You ready?"
"I am, Oliver. I am."
"Mount your brooms!"
They did as they were told, and on the next command,
"FLY!"
They flew. As they flew towards their enemies, the Death Eaters saw this, and drew their wands. Then the Creature Contingent came out on various creatures. Griffins, dragons, hippogriffs, they all charged forward along with the flyers. Then the battle truly began. Unfortunately, because of the incredible graphic violence, this story shall end.
Just kidding.
There were epic cries of hundreds of curses and charms, and many, both Death Eaters and heroes, fell. The flyers shot curses at the Basilisks so they couldn't see; therefore their instant death vision was kaput. Kelly and Heather were backing one another up, until there was a cry of pain from Ginny.
"Ginny! Heather, cover me!"
"No, Kelly! Don't!"
Kelly swooped down and saved Ginny from the jaws of one of the few still alive snakes. Unfortunately, one of the Death Eaters aimed for them. They were sitting ducks.
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
Heather saved them in the nick of time, and they looked relieved. Ginny was badly wounded.
"Kelly, take Ginny to the Brew Brigade. She needs medical attention. Fast."
With a nod of her head, Kelly headed back to the castle to help her wounded comrade.
It was hours of struggling, and finally the Air Assemblage and the Creature Contingent broke the standstill between the forces, sending them back to their territory in a complete retreat. However, despite the victory, many were killed and hundreds wounded. A few were in critical condition, like Ginny.
"Oh Ginny."
Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Percy, and Charlie were all in their sister's room, not one of them leaving her side. Even Fred and George were down, and it was very unlikely of them.
"Will she be alright, Madam Pomfrey?"
"She will, she just needs a bit of rest. Why, Miss Granger treated Ginny herself, and that's saying something."
"Thanks Hermione."
"You're welcome."
Despite her condition, the Weasley brothers were also upset about Ginny's mental condition. Her innocence she had from her first year was now tainted with the bloody reality of grief and war. They could never remove the scars of war on the inside of her heart.
"I'll leave you guys for a little while."
With that, Hermione left the room to treat other wounded people.
"I hope Ginny gets better, for both sakes of her, and all of her brothers."
Heather and Kelly were back in their resting area, treating each other's wounds. Why should they waste the time of the Brew Brigade when they could just heal each other themselves? Saved time and magic, possibly even lives.
"Heather, thanks for back there."
"No problem, Kel."
"I'm serious though. I was stupid to go into there headfirst without thinking. I almost got Ginny killed."
"Stop blaming yourself. If it wasn't for your daring actions, then Ginny would be dead by now."
"Thanks."
"You say that too much."
"He, he. Whatever, by the way I'm done here."
"Great. Well, I better go and see how the others are doing. Want to come?"
"Sure."
With that, they left the room and found their friends, with the exception of Ron and Ginny, of course. Everyone was in a saddened mood. They joined the group, adding more sadness. Then, Draco pulled Kelly over to a corner. No one even noticed they had left.
"What is it, Draco?"
"Listen, Kelly, do you remember what happened in the Slytherin Common Room a few days ago?"
"You mean, when we got chased by hypnotized students and two Death Eaters?"
"Well, sort of."
"Huh, okay now I'm confused."
"Listen, I don't know if you noticed or anything, but I pulled you into the closet for a specific reason."
Kelly had a small, dark idea growing her mind.
"You mean, so we could stay alive?"
"No! I mean, I."
But, before Draco could say another word, Harry interfered.
"Hey guys, come on, Professor Dumbledore is calling us to the Great Hall."
"Okay."
Obviously unaware of what he had done, Harry walked off with the others while Draco and Kelly kept looking away from each other. After a silent dinner, they all returned to their resting places. It was when everyone was asleep, and Kelly was still awake, trying to think what Draco had been talking about.
"Can't sleep?"
"Hey, Heather."
"So.you like Draco don't you?"
"WHAT?!"
"SSH!"
"What in bloody hell are you talking about?"
"That look on your face is so obvious. I did notice he pulled you over to the side, but Harry interrupted. I could tell he didn't say anything yet."
"But that doesn't mean I like him."
Telepathy, moron.
Blushing like mad, Kelly hid her face. Her friend embraced her lovingly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell a soul."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
With that, they went to bed, and Kelly had a strange dream. She was in a battlefield, and there were corpses everywhere, many of which were her friends and classmates. Then she saw Heather getting attacked by hundreds of shadows, and her crying out for help. As she held out her hand for help, Kelly tried to reach her, but just as she got to her, Heather was sucked into the darkness. She awoke with a start, sweating with fear.
