OK guys, here's my next chapter. In fact, you lucky guys are getting two chapters today, as suggested by my great beta Victoria.

Just a quick note to say that I have used words and a few lines from the Night World novel - Witchlight. I do not own this series, LJ Smith does. By the way, if anyone hasn't read those books, they really should. They are brilliant.

OK, enjoy both chapters and please - don't hate me!

Chapter 32 - Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw

Harry watched nervously as Neville and Rosenna circled each other, both waiting for the other to make the first move. Harry caught Hermione's eyes and she gazed at him with fear. Dumbledore stood very still, his eyes wide at the sight in front of him.

Suddenly, with a fierce cry of rage, Rosenna waved her hand and a bright red light shot at Neville at speed. He stood perfectly still and just as the light reached him, he waved his hand once and the deadly glow rebounded of his hand and crashed safely into the wall behind Snape, Peachy and Narcissa, causing all of them to gasp in fright. Hermione took Harry's hand into hers and squeezed it tightly. He gave her a small smile.

Rosenna was shooting light after light at Neville, using wandless magic that Harry didn't even know existed. He couldn't stop feeling shock every time Neville used wandless magic to shield himself, although he knew it was Godric Gryffindor using his powers. Harry didn't even know that Neville was still in there.

Rosenna paused for breath and stared at Neville with hatred. She then smiled. "You may have remembered some old tricks Godric but you know I will prevail at the end. You have had your time. This world is mine." Neville smiled back at her. "Not yet it isn't Rosenna. You can't win this."

Rosenna threw back her head and laughed. She turned loving eyes to Voldemort. "Tom, why don't you assist me my Darling, you can be part of this." Voldemort stared at her. "Because I cannot move due to a spell that runt has cast Rosenna. You must destroy him alone." Rosenna eyed him, a look of fear flashed across her face. "Yes Rosenna, alone." Neville said calmly, taking a step forward. Rosenna swung round on him, snarling. "Well Godric, no Rowena to back you up this time." Neville merely smiled.

Without warning and with a cry that terrified Harry to his very soul, Rosenna actually FLEW at Neville, throwing wave after wave of pure energy at him. Neville vanished and reappeared behind Rosenna, the spells only just missing him. Rosenna howled again and changed direction, aiming yet more power at Neville.

Again, he disappeared and reappeared; this time behind Rosenna's alter. With a wave of his hand, the alter split in two and rubble flew in every direction. Neville raised his eyes once again to Rosenna, this time there was no smile. His face was grim and firm. "I gave you a chance Rosenna." He said slowly. Rosenna shrieked in fury. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Neville shook his head. "You will never be strong enough Rosenna. I am a founder of Hogwarts. I have the strength of all the Gryffindors past and present inside me. You have only a longing for Vengeance. Hate is not a strong enough emotion Rosenna. You never did learn that."

Rosenna stood in front of him, breathing heavily. There was a look of resignation in her eyes. Harry knew that Rosenna couldn't defeat Godric Gryffindor and he was pretty sure that Voldemort knew that too. Harry could see he was concentrating hard, trying to force through the barrier Neville had conjured up around him. Harry prayed that Voldemort didn't have enough power, he was the Heir of Slytherin after all.

Suddenly, Rosenna jumped into life again. She waved her hands furiously and Harry felt Hermione's grip on his hand tighten. "Harry," she gasped. He turned to look at her and saw terror on her face. Then, she was flung from his grasp and thrown straight into Rosenna's clutches. Rosenna held Hermione tightly round the shoulders in front of her, using her as a shield between herself and Neville. Harry jumped forward, along with Ron and Dumbledore. "No," Harry screamed. "Rosenna, let her go." Rosenna laughed. She tightened her hold on Hermione and the girl let out a gasp. "Another word, my sweet Harry, and I will crush the life out of her." Harry froze in desperation, as did Ron and Dumbledore. Harry's eyes met Voldemort's, who was grinning cruelly at him. Riddle called to Rosenna, "Yes my Love, pull her arms off, as a child would do to a spider!"

Neville took a step towards Rosenna, being careful not to alarm the evil woman. Rosenna's cheeks were rosy again and her face was alive with glee. "You will leave the body of that whelp Godric and you will not return, or I will destroy her. One of yours isn't she?" Hermione was now fighting for breath, tears streaming down her face. The pain was too much. She felt herself begin to lose consciousness. Her pleading eyes met Harry's for a moment and Harry felt a sob threatening to be torn from him.

"Release the girl Rosenna. Accept that it is over. I will allow you to leave here unharmed. Disobey and face the consequences." Rosenna laughed happily and once again tightened her hold. Hermione cried out in pain. Rosenna was now holding her up.

Harry could see that Neville was unsure of what to do, worried about Hermione's safety. Harry began to creep up behind Rosenna. He gave Neville a quick look, telling him to keep Rosenna's attention fixed on him. Neville gave Harry the smallest of winks. Harry breathed and continued his walk up to Rosenna. All the Death Eaters and Voldemort had their eyes on Rosenna and Hermione, enjoying the torture. None of them had noticed Harry yet.

Neville was once again attempting to talk to Rosenna.

"Rosenna, this is pointless and you know it. You kill that girl and I will destroy you. For good this time." Rosenna giggled. "Don't you worry Gryffindor, I can keep her alive for a bit longer yet."

Harry was now nearly right behind Rosenna and he had pulled his wand out. Suddenly, Voldemort noticed him. He cried out a warning to his lover but it was too late, Harry was quicker. He pointed his wand at Hermione and cried "Releaso" and the girl was thrown away from Rosenna, straight into Lupins arms. Neville swung round on Voldemort and waved his hand. Voldemort was thrown to the ground, now unable to move or speak. Rosenna was making a grab for Harry but he was thrown out of harms way by Ron, who just managed to get to his best friend before Rosenna did. Lupin was quickly checking Hermione's pulse and gave Dumbledore and Harry a grim smile. This was enough to tell Harry that Hermione was all right. Indeed, she was already starting to stir.

Rosenna was now back to her hideous self. She knew she was defeated but she made up her mind not to go without a big ending. She turned around, her eyes on Neville. She slashed her hand down in a chopping action and Neville actually cried out in pain, grabbing his side. This was an attack he wasn't expecting. Rosenna was on him in a trice, scratching, snarling and attacking him like a cat.

Finally, he gained the upper hand and Rosenna was thrown off of him with a cry of pain. She rolled over and over on the ground before coming to a halt in the corner of the room. She got shakily to her feet, tears in her eyes. She howled one more time and leapt forward again. Neville waved his hand and mumbled under his breath. Light erupted from his cupped hands and surrounded Rosenna. When the bright light had died down, Harry saw the Rosenna was trapped in a dome of bright, golden light. She screamed in fury and drummed her fists against her prison but the light held firm.

Neville sighed heavily and then walked slowly up to his prisoner. He eyed her for a moment. "I'm sorry Rosenna. I'm sorry it has to end like this - again." She glared at him through her jail and then her expression began to change. Her eyes became big and fearful and her face put on its little girl lost look. Her lip quivered as she gazed at Neville. "Godric, my old friend. Please, let me out. I'll go, I won't come back. Please." Neville gave her a small smile. "No Rosenna, that doesn't work on me anymore. I think it's best that you returned home." Rosenna stared at him for a moment that screamed in horror. "No, please Godric, not again. Anything but that, please. Oh, please." Her pathetic pleading continued until Neville gave her one last sympathetic look and then turned his back on her and walked into the middle of the room.

He turned to face her and raised both his hands. Rosenna continued to cry and plead but Neville took no notice. "Rosenna Ravenclaw, In the name of Merlin. In the name of Azhdeha. In the name of Anguis. In the name of the Old Ones whose laws we obey, I command you." Rosenna was now on the floor, begging pathetically. "Godric, please no. Mercy." Harry continued to watch Neville chant an incantation that he could never have known.

Neville continued. "I am a wizard and the son of a wizard. Mine was the hand that took your power. Mine was the hand that sent you to silence. Merlin was the most ancient of my fathers. Merlin's hand is my hand now."

Rosenna was up on her feet again, sobbing uncontrollably. "GODRIC, I BEG YOU! STOP!" Neville took no notice, he merely closed his eyes and red power began to form in between his hands.

Rosenna whirled round to where Voldemort remained laying on the floor. "Tom, save me, I beg you." His eyes met hers. He couldn't help her and she knew it. Her eyes passed over her Ravenclaws and Death Eaters. None of them could save her. Her eyes finally became fixed on Harry's. Harry stared back at her, memories of what she had put him through flooding through him. He was astounded as she began to beg HIM.

"Harry, my sweet. I only did what I did to you to make you strong, to prepare you. I'm very fond of you Love." Harry watched her closely, listening to every desperate word. Rosenna's voice grew more desperate. "Harry, I can help you. Tom and I, we can bring your Mother and Father back, isn't that what you want?" Harry swallowed. Everyone in the room turned and looked at him. Dumbledore put his hand on his shoulder. Rosenna waited with baited breath. Harry finally opened his mouth and said one word slowly, with barely concealed emotion - "Luna." Rosenna visibly deflated and sank to her knees.

Neville was prepared. The red glow between his hands had got bigger and bigger and had become a ball. He stared straight at Rosenna and said softly. "There will be no coming back this time Rosenna." She looked at him through red eyes. "See you in Hell," She hissed. He sighed and pointed the ball at Rosenna. Harry could have sworn that he saw Rosenna gaze at Voldemort one last time and mouthed something wordlessly too him. With one last glance at Rosenna, Neville yelled - "Mine is the hand that sends you back!" The red ball left his hands and sped toward the devastated woman.

Rosenna let out a blood-curdling cry as the red ball engulfed her. It flashed brightly, nearly blinding everyone in the room. When the light dimmed, there was nothing left of Rosenna. All the Ravenscars had also faded to nothing.

TBC.
