It took less than five minutes for Cadance and Cati to explain to everyone what they were going to do. They sent Professor Dumbledore and Sirius to go and get the Book of Light. Moody and Remus were going to try to get everyone's wands and release some of the Order Members along the way if possible. Bill, Charlie, and Fred were going to go and get potions from Cadance and Charlie's room. Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry were going to stay in the dungeons. Cadance and Cati had not mentioned what they were going to be doing, but nobody questioned them. This was surprising since Charlie and Dumbledore (unbeknownst to Cadance and Cati) had both worried that Cadance and Cati would try something like what they were about to.

Cadance and Cati had the most dangerous mission of all, but nobody knew it. They were going to get the Crystal of Gryffindor and the Amulet of Merlin away from Voldemort. Apparently they were planning on living through the experience because their whole plan was based around them making a potion and writing a spell to vanquish the Dark Lord.

Cadance and Cati, still dressed in black with their Indian Jones attire on over top, snuck down the hallway and to the Great Hall. So far, they had not run into any Death Eaters. When they reached the door, they were too busy marveling in their luck to think clearly. Had they been thinking clearly, they would have realized that it was weird that they didn't run into any Death Eaters on the way, and that what waited for them on the other side of the door was a trap.

The minute they opened the door, Cadance and Cati were grabbed roughly and pulled inside, their arms pinned behind their back. They were pushed inside without so much as a word exchanged between them and their captors and then they were thrown to the ground at Voldemort's feet.

They looked up into Voldemort's face. His mouth was curled into an awful smile. Cadance and Cati's faces were blank. "Well," said Voldemort icily. "What have we here?"

"Pizza delivery?" ventured Cati. She snapped her fingers and a pizza box appeared in her hands. "Pepperoni and anchovies. Very good," she said in a fake Italian accent.

"Not quite," said Voldemort. He turned to his Death Eaters. The room was full of them. Demons and wizards of all shapes and sizes from all different nations were present.

"The time has come…" Voldemort announced to the room.

"To eat pizza!" exclaimed Random Death Eater 472

"No no no no no!" exclaimed Voldemort throwing a dirty look at Cati who was still smiling and offering people pizza. "The time has come for the Wizarding World to feel the wrath of the Source of All Evil! I am Lord Voldemort! The world shall feel my fury and tremble! And we shall start with these two troublesome wenches!"

A couple of Death Eaters made cat-calls and Cadance and Cati shot dirty looks at them. "I was going to hold off on killing you, Miss Dumbledore," sneered Voldemort.

"Mrs. Weasley," corrected Cadance. "Weasley."

"Whatever," said Voldemort.

Cadance and Cati's eyes darted around the room, looking for a way out. Suddenly, they both reached a decision at the same time. They looked at each other and grinned. "Fancy yourself a pirate today, Cadance?" asked Cati.

"Of course," said Cadance. In a split second, Cadance and Cati dove around behind Voldemort. He spun around and faced them.

"What have you accomplished by doing that?" questioned Voldemort.

"Well, you see, Voldemort, we're going to climb up that rope that's holding the chandelier. Then we're going to cut it and swing over all your heads to the entrance of the Great Hall," said Cadance indicated to a rope that was attached to the wall. It went up towards the center of the ceiling where it was over a pulley system and held up the chandelier. "Then we're going to turn around and sneer at your surprised faces and run back to where we have a team of specialized members of the Order of the Phoenix waiting for us." Cadance raised her arm to about shoulder height and opened her hand. In it was the Crystal of Gryffindor and the Amulet of Merlin. "I then am going to give Harry these two Crystals that I stole from you as I dove by and watch as he vanquishes your sorry ass. Savvy?"

Voldemort's eyes grew wide as he stared, wondering how Cadance could have picked his pocket as she dove around him.

"Well, I see you're already practicing your surprised look," said Cati. "Shall we, Cadance?"

"We shall," said Cadance.

One of the Death Eaters shot a spell at them. It almost hit Cati, but she dove to the side, rolled twice, and then got to her feet. "Hey now," said Cadance. "We've got our ass-kicking black boots on. Not those sissy pacifistic white ones. You're in trouble now." Cati and Cadance proceeded to strike several 'young grasshopper' poses.

Voldemort cocked an eyebrow. "They look like stripper boots," he said.

Cadance and Cati stared with wide eyes. "What! Hey! You… But… I…" stammered Cati.

Cadance stepped in. "Oh yeah? Well Lord Voldemort? That sounds like a stripper name. Come on! It's not even a real name!"

"Neither is your name!" exclaimed Voldemort.

"At least it's an actual word!" argued Cadance.

"ENOUGH!" exclaimed Voldemort. "This mindless bantering is giving me a headache!"

"Then we'll just be on our way," said Cati, as she backed up towards the wall and grabbed the rope. She pulled herself up and started climbing, Cadance behind her. They were about six feet from the floor when they stopped.

"Would somebody like to try to stop us please?" asked Cadance looking down at the stunned looks on all the Death Eaters and Voldemort's faces.

They snapped back to attention and Voldemort pulled back his hand to let loose a fireball. Cadance waved her hand, and the fireball was redirected towards the bottom of the rope. "Thank you," said Cati as the rope snapped and they swung over the Death Eaters heads. Unfortunately they made a minor miscalculation in their plan. The chandelier was now free and weighed much more than them. It was plummeting towards the ground and they were moving up. They were forced to let go. They landed in a heap in the center of the Death Eaters. The Death Eaters scattered as the chandelier came plummeting towards them. Cadance and Cati both waved their hands above them and the chandelier froze. Cati snapped her fingers and it moved back up into it original place and the rope restored itself.

Cadance and Cati were grabbed roughly and pulled to their feet. Voldemort was once again before them. "Savvy," he said mockingly.

"I don't quite think you used that word correctly in context," said Cadance.

"Yo ho yo ho," said Voldemort blandly.

"A pirate's life for me!" sang Cadance and Cati brightly.

Suddenly there was a swirl of lights. Leo had his hand on Wendy's shoulder and he orbed her in. "Drink up me hearties yo ho!" joined in Wendy exuberantly.

"Wendy!" exclaimed Cadance and Cati.

"What's up, mateys?" asked Wendy. She and Leo were grabbed. "What's with the stiffs?"

"Wendy, I think we've just been captured," said Leo.

"Ohhh, your wife is going to kill me!" exclaimed Wendy. "I promised this wouldn't be dangerous!"

"You told Piper that invading the Source of All Evil's lair wouldn't be dangerous and she believed you?" asked Leo.

"Welllllllllll," said Wendy, drawing out the word. Then she continued really quickly. "DemonswereattackingandsheandPhoebewerereallymadandIfiguredthattheywouldjustgetmadderifItoldherthatwewerehuntingtheSourcesoIkindajusttold her we were going food shopping."

"WENDY!" exclaimed Leo.

"Ohh, you're going to be murdered by the Charmed Ones!" said Cati.

"The Charmed Ones?" questioned Voldemort suddenly interested in their conversation. "Alright, spill."

"Spill what?" asked Cadance.

"Information. Once I get rid of you and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, the Charmed Ones are the last threat to me as the Source of All Evil," said Voldemort.

"Oh," said Cati. "Well, that's Wendy. She is Sirius's old girlfriend but she got killed by one of your Death Eaters the last time you were around. She became a White Lighter with Leo but then she was regranted life by the White Lighter Council and now she lives with Leo and his wife and her two sisters. Leo's a White Lighter and his wife and her two sisters are the Charmed Ones. They vanquished the last Source of All Evil!"

Cati said all of that while ignoring wild "cut" motions from Cadance, Leo, and Wendy.

"Sooo," said Voldemort, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I have the husband of a Charmed One at my disposal. I will rise to the Ultimate Power tonight!"

Just then, Lucius Malfoy burst into the room. "My Lord! Almost all the Order Members have broken out!"

"Who is left!" asked Voldemort urgently.

"Just McGonagall, the McGrady's, and the others who you did not separate. Severus, Arabella, the bartender and her demon friend, and four young kids are among them."

"This is Dumbledore's doing," said Voldemort as his eyes narrowed. Cadance winked at him. "He'll be on his way here. He'll know you're here. I'll be ready."

"Oh will you?" questioned Cadance mockingly.

Voldemort jabbed at her chest with his wand. "Call him," said Voldemort.

"Nah," said Cadance.

"Use your telekinetic connection and call him," said Voldemort

"No," sang Cadance brightly.

"Fine," said Voldemort. "You're in a piratey mood. Now you're going to be treated like a pirate."

"We're here, dah-lings!" cried George as he bounded into Snape's office. He was immediately confronted by four wands pointed at his face.

"Oh geez, George," sighed Harry as they all lowered their wands. George was followed by Arthur and Jen.

"Try being locked in a room with him for an hour," said Jen rolling her eyes. "Moody and Remus send us tidings of our wands back! They are trying to find out where Cadance and Cati are."

"You mean they don't know?" asked Harry.

"No," said Jen.

"You don't think…" said Harry trailing off.

"No, they wouldn't," said Ron.

"Oh yes they would," said Ginny. "Dad, we've got to do something!"

"Do something about what?" asked a voice behind them. They turned around to see Bill, Charlie, Fred, Dumbledore, and Sirius come in. Dumbledore and Sirius had brought the Book of Light and Charlie, Bill, and Fred each carried a bag full of Potions.

"You're not going to like this, Albus," said Arthur. "And you even less, Charlie."

Charlie gave an exasperated sigh and looked towards the ceiling. "Son of a Bitch, Cadance. Why must you torment me!"

"It's going to be a trap," said Dumbledore.

Suddenly there was another swirl of White Lights. "Not a trap for you." Three women stood there. Everyone raised their wands at them.

"Oh give it a rest already," said one in an American accent. "I just want my husband back."

"Yeah, and I want my wife back," said Charlie. "But who are you."

"Us? We're the Charmed Ones. Drew Nuperson sent us."

"Oh good," said Dumbledore brightly.

"I'll give you one last chance," said Voldemort. "Call him."

"Nope," said Cadance brightly.

"Fine," said Voldemort. He turned to his Death Eaters. "Dispose of her."

They were in McGonagall's office. Cadance's wrists were tied behind her back and her ankles were bound. Lucius pushed her towards the window. "You're fond of swimming aren't you?"

"I'm a regular old fish," said Cadance.

"Let's see you try to swim when you're all tied up," said Lucius.

Wendy, Leo, and Cati were also bound and they were gagged. They started struggling.

"Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of swimming?" asked Cadance.

"You're a bitch," said Voldemort.

"Why? Because I point out stuff wrong with your plan?"

"You said you wanted to be pirate, Cadance," said Voldemort. "Here's where you walk the plank."

"This is your absolute last chance to call your Uncle," said Lucius.

"No," said Cadance again. She was beginning to get annoyed.

"Then goodbye," said Voldemort as he shoved her out the window. He watched as she fell and hit the lake. The second she did, the door opened and Dumbledore stepped in, his wand outstretched.

"Oh, this is what you call irony," said Voldemort.

Charlie stepped in from behind Dumbledore. Cati tried to communicate with him by hopping up and down and talking through her gag. Charlie stepped forward and ripped it off.

"Voldemort threw Cadance out the window!" exclaimed Cati quickly.

Dumbledore and Charlie's heads both snapped to the window so fast that they could have gotten whiplash. "And if you want to talk about irony, Betty, you never got the Crystal of Gryffindor or the Amulet of Merlin from her before you pushed her to Davy Jones's locker," said Cati.

Charlie untied Cati's wrists as Dumbledore kept his wand on Voldie and Lucius. "It's a good thing Cadance enjoys that kind of thing; swimming in the lake, I mean," said Charlie.

"Well, actually, Betty kinda tied her up first," said Cati, now free, as she began un-gagging Leo and Wendy.

"What?" exclaimed Charlie and Dumbledore at the same time.

"How am I going to get my Ultimate Power now?" questioned Voldemort aloud to no one in particular as he and Lucius looked out the window, trying to figure it all out.

Charlie heroically pushed past Voldemort and dove into the lake. Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Lucius all looked down and waited for him to resurface. Dumbledore discreetly signaled to Cati, Leo, and Wendy to sneak out.

Finally, Charlie resurfaced, Dragging Cadance with him. It was too dark for them to see if she was alright. "Bring me those Crystals, Lucius," ordered Voldemort.

"Not so fast, Tom," said Dumbledore. "I'll fight you for them."

"Come on, Cadance," said Charlie as he dragged his wife out of the lake. He quickly ripped off the ropes securing her wrists and ankles. He put his ear to her chest. He could hear her breathing. He gave a sigh of relief. "Wake up, Baby."

Cadance's eyes fluttered open and she coughed up water. "Charlie?"

"Come on, sweetheart," said Charlie helping her up. "We have to get to Harry."

"Oh no!" exclaimed Cadance. "I lost the Crystals in the lake!"

"WHAT?"

"Just kidding. Let's go."

Cadance and Charlie re-entered the castle through a window and made their way through the deserted castle, wondering why there were no guards watching for them. They reached the dungeons and entered Snape's classroom.

"You're alive!" exclaimed Cati.

"How did you get away?" asked Cadance.

"You and Charlie provided a distraction," said Cati. "But we should hurry and regroup because your uncle won't be able to hold Voldemort off for long."

"Right," said Cadance. "Wendy, Leo, you need to go find Drew and then the three of you can free the rest of the Order."

"And pick up some more Potions from the Manor!" exclaimed a voice from the back of the room.

Cadance looked back to see three women working over a cauldron.

"Oh, Cadance, these are the Charmed Ones. That's Paige, that's Phoebe, and that's my wife Piper," introduced Leo. "Girls, this is Cadance."

"Nice to meet you," said Cadance.

The one that Leo identified as Piper, his wife,walked forward and shook her hand. The minute their hands touched there was a flash of light within the room. They all looked about and then Piper and Cadance pulled their hands apart. "What was that?" asked Cadance.

"I believe I can answer that," said a disembodied voice. They all looked wildly around. There was a swirl of lights and a White Lighter that most didn't recognize orbed in.

"GRAMS!" exclaimed the Charmed Ones.

"Hi, Penelope," said Leo.

"Hi, girls. Leo." said Penelope. "I don't have much time. Prudence will be on my ass the second she realizes I orbed down here… We Whitelighters weren't supposed to interfere, you know, but a more divine power is working above Prudence's head. That's how Drew got here and that's how Drew was able to get Leo and Wendy. Even though Wendy's not a White Lighter anymore, they still like to keep tabs on her. It's a bit unfair if you ask me, but…"

Paige cut her off. "Grams! You're babbling," she said.

"Oh right," said Penelope. "Well, the reason I came was to explain that whole flash of light thing, so I guess I better get to it! Well, I already told you there's a divine power at work! But what you don't know is that you two shaking hands made a bond between the Wiccan World and the Magical one! A bond that has waited for hundreds of years to be reformed."

"What are you talking about, Grams?" asked Piper. "I thought that Whitelighters were the connection between the different magics."

"No, she's referring to something different," said Leo.

"A long time ago the Wiccan World split from the Magical one," said Cadance. "I guess now we're back on the same side."

"It means a lot more than that!" said Penelope. "But I'm not allowed to get into that! I can tell you this though; it means that you're now stronger for it!"

"Well, that's good," said Cadance. "And I really would love to stay and chat but my uncle is currently taking on the Dark Lord on his own. So if you White Lighters would be so kind as to get Drew and get the rest of the Order Members out, I would be ever so grateful." Penelope and Leo nodded and orbed out.

"We're working on the potion Harry's going to need to defeat the Dark Lord," said Piper. "And Phoebe is a spell-writing extraordinaire. Between her and Cati we should be able to write one. Then all Harry would need is those two crystals you have and he'll be set."

Cadance smiled her thanks and nodded. Then she handed Harry the Crystal of Gryffindor and the Amulet of Merlin. Their hands touched for a second, and as they did both of them suddenly tensed up and closed their eyes. In a flash they both had a vision.

"Premonition alert!" exclaimed Cati, recognizing what it looks like to have a premonition. Cadance and Harry were both thrown backwards. They both gasped for breathe as they sat up.

"We have to go now!" exclaimed Cadance.

"What happened?" asked Harry. "What was that!"

"I just transferred a premonition to you," said Cadance. "It was an accident. I have to go. Voldemort is about to murder the McGradys."

"Cati, you stay here and help them write the spell. The minute the spell and the potion is ready, you come top-side. Don't wait for me," said Cadance.

"This spell is going to need to be read by a full coven of Sorceresses," said Phoebe.

"Well, then I'd better save the McGradys," said Cadance, turning to go.

"I'm coming with you, Cadance," said Charlie grabbing her arm.

"Then let's be off," she said.

"Take your wand, Cadance," said Remus handing it to her. Charlie had already had his.

Cadance turned to the rest of them. "Work quickly. Jen don't get in the way of the potion. I know you have a fascination with things that explode."

"Once again, you are too late," said Voldemort sadistically as Cadance and Charlie rushed in the door of the Great Hall. "Some rescue party you are."

"Where are the McGradys?" asked Cadance.

"I already told you," said Voldemort. "You're too late. And your beloved uncle is battling four Death Eaters single-handedly. Quite the brave one he is."

"Then why are you here?" asked Charlie.

"You don't believe me?" asked Voldemort.

"No," said Cadance. "We don't."

"What does your heart tell you?" asked Voldemort.

"Someone so evil should not speak of hearts," said Charlie.

"He killed them," whispered Cadance. "He killed them and now he's going to try to kill us."

"That's where you're wrong," said Voldemort. "I'm not going to try to kill you. I'm releasing you. Go collect your belts, swords, bullwhips, and knives from your classroom."

"You're releasing us?" questioned Cadance. "Just like that?"

"Go before I change my mind," said Voldemort spitefully.

Cadance and Charlie looked at each other and backed out of the Great Hall. The minute they did, Voldemort smiled to himself and was gone in a puff of smoke.

In the hallway, Cadance and Charlie were walking towards Cadance's classroom. "Does he really think we're that stupid?" asked Charlie.

"I guess so," said Cadance. "Let's go walk into the trap. I'm up for a little adventure to avenge my cousins' deaths."

"You're sure they're dead?" asked Charlie.

"Positive," said Cadance. "But there will be time to wallow in our own self-pity later. I'm sure they're Whitelighters now anyway."

"Deep down inside this is hurting you, isn't it?" asked Charlie.

"Killing me," answered Cadance.

"Talk later?" asked Charlie.

"Most definitely," said Cadance.

"Alright, we're here," said Charlie. "Ready?"

"Let's do this," said Cadance. They opened the door and walked in. They couldn't see anything. Then they heard the door slam behind them. They whipped around to find Pettigrew and Voldemort standing there.

"Ohhhh," said Cadance. "So this is the trap. We should have figured that considering this is where I left Pettigrew tied up."

"Yes, well, I guess I'm just smarter than you," said Voldemort.

"I want proof," said Cadance. "I want to see school transcripts, teacher notes, and O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. scores."

"Well, this is where I leave you," said Voldemort. "Pettigrew, I believe you can take it from here." He walked out the door and shut it behind him. Pettigrew pulled out his wand and shouted a spell. Charlie grabbed Cadance and they dove over her desk and landed behind it. Cadance popped her head over the desk and waved her hand and Pettigrew flew backwards into the door.

Cadance and Charlie got up. Cadance got a knife out of her desk drawer and threw it at Pettigrew. He flinched. Cadance froze the knife when it mere centimeters from his face. She walked around to Pettigrew and snatched the knife out of the air. She shook it menacingly in Pettigrew's face as she spoke to him. "Now you listen up, Peter," she said. "I could have killed you and you know it. But I didn't. And do you know why?"

"Because you're saving me for Sirius?" asked Pettigrew.

"No," said Cadance. "Though if Sirius were in my situation you would have been dead several hours ago when I fought you earlier. In case you haven't noticed, Peter, that's twice I've spared you. I won't do it again."

"What are you going to do with me?" he asked.

"Nothing," said Cadance. "But you're going to voluntarily apologize to everyone in the Order of the Phoenix and the rest of the people fighting Voldemort; especially Harry, Sirius, and Remus. And then you're going to go up to Arthur Weasley and turn yourself in."

"Death first," said Pettigrew.

"You're a coward, Peter," said Cadance. "You say that you'd rather die, but we all know better."

She turned around and started to walk away, but then she whipped around and almost slashed Peter across the throat. "NO!" he exclaimed.

Cadance stopped a few inches from Pettigrew's face yet again. "That's what I thought, Peter," she said lowering the knife and turning around and walking to the back of her classroom where her and Cati's belts plus two others that were confiscated from McGonagall and Kala were laid across the desk. All the knives and the bullwhip and all their other stuff were still attached. Also, Cadance and Cati's bows and arrows were there along with Cadance's hat. She put it on her head and strapped her belt around her waist underneath her coat. She tossed one belt to Charlie and threw the other two over her shoulder. Then she picked up on of the bows and a few arrows.

"You look like some crazy Lord of the Rings/Indiana Jones crossover," said Charlie.

"Shut up," said Cadance.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Charlie.

"We're going to find my uncle," said Cadance. They walked out of the classroom. Cadance sealed it so Pettigrew couldn't get out. She reached into her belt and pulled out a piece of parchment.

"Is that what I think it is?" asked Charlie.

"The Marauder's Map?" asked Cadance. "Yeah. I got it from Harry's room when Cati and I snuck in here for the first time tonight. And it looks like my uncle is in the Transfiguration room."

"Who else is in there?" asked Charlie.

"A few Death Eaters," said Cadance. "Voldemort is in the Great Hall with about five Death Eaters. Looks like our fellow Order Members that we have yet to rescue are locked in the Charms room. That's on the way to the Transfiguration room. We'll get them on the way; save our Whitelighter friends a trip."

"Is everyone else still in the dungeons?" asked Charlie.

"Yeah," said Cadance. "They're still there."

"What kind of guards are we looking at for the Charms room?" asked Charlie.

"Nothing we can't handle," said Cadance. "Let's go."

Meanwhile, in the dungeons, Phoebe and Cati were working on the spell. "Hey, Cati?" asked Phoebe.

"Yeah?" answered Cati.

"Don't you think that the demons upstairs know that we're down here?" she asked.

"They're not Demon's, Phoebe, they're Death Eaters. Bad wizards," said Cati. "Well, there are some Demons too. I guess it's good that the bond between the Wizarding World and the Wiccan one was reformed. The Demons are certainly moving between both worlds and Sorceresses are kinda like you Wiccan Witches."

"Oh," said Phoebe. "Well, don't you think that the Death Eaters upstairs know that we're down here?"

"Probably," said Cati.

"Then why haven't they come after us yet?" asked Phoebe.

"Well," said Cati. "You know how your Grams was talking about a divine power who has more power than Prudence the Head Whitelighter?"

"Yeah," said Phoebe.

"Well, there is someone out there who has even more power than that," said Cati.

"Who?" asked Phoebe.

Meanwhile in the hallway a floor above, there was a large congregation of Death Eaters staring at a wall where there was previously a set of stairs to the dungeons. Who put that wall there? Where did it come from? Was it magic? Nope! The great thing about Fanfiction Authors is that we can do whatever we want!

"Don't worry about it, Phoebe," said Cati. "It's complicated."


"If I ever get out of here," said McGonagall, "I'm going to tell Cadance and Cati I'm sorry I yelled at them for all those years. I was just trying to help. They needed someone to yell at them."

"If I ever get out of here," said Snape, "I'm going to take a long vacation. I'll take Cati with me. It'll be like a family vacation."

"If I ever get out of here," said Oliver, "I'd play Quidditch."

Katie Bell looked at him. "You'd play Quidditch?" she asked. "We make it out of this and you're going to go play QUIDDITCH!"

"Well, maybe I'd marry you," said Oliver.

"Are you asking me to marry you?" asked Katie.

"Would you say yes?" asked Oliver.

"That depends on whether I was asked," said Katie.

"Oh," said Oliver.

"If I ever get out of here, I'm going to get friends that aren't so completely blind," said Angelina Johnson shaking her head.

"Me too," said Alicia Spinnet.

"If I make it out of this, I'm going to buy myself a Suburban. They're hardcore," said Kala.

"I wonder where Gwen, Morgouse, and Elaine are," said Arabella.

"I don't know," said McGonagall. "It's been a while since Voldemort came to get them."

Just then the door was kicked open. Cadance and Charlie came in. "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" exclaimed Cadance. They all got up and ran towards her.

"What's going on?" asked Arabella. "What's new? We haven't heard anything!"

"To the dungeons, mateys," said Cadance with a wink.

"Wait!" argued Arabella. "Voldemort took your cousins…"

"I know," interrupted Cadance. Her face, which had lit up as she saw all of her fellow Order Members, fell.

"What is it?" asked Arabella.

"They're gone," said Cadance.

"Gone?" said McGonagall in disbelief. "Just like that?"

Cadance looked at the ground and took a deep breath then looked back up. "We should get going. Minerva, come with me and Charlie. We're going to help my Uncle fight off some Death Eaters. The rest of you go down to the dungeons. Everyone else is waiting there. The Charmed Ones are there and they're helping us out."

Meanwhile in the dungeons…

Paige sidled up to Bill and batted her eyelashes flatteringly. "So, you're Bill, right?"

"Yeah," said Bill.

"I like your earring," she said fingering it gently.

"Thanks," he said.

"And I think long hair is so sexy," she purred running one hand through his hair.

"Really?" he asked. "My mom hates it."

"Excuse me?" questioned Cati from where she and Phoebe were working on a spell. "Are you flirting with him!"

Phoebe looked up now too. "Paige, now isn't the time to flirt."

Paige pouted a little, but still kept her gaze fixed on Bill.

Cati heaved a sigh and then went back to working on the spell.

There was absolute silence for a few more minutes. Then Paige turned to Bill and said, "So are you… seeing anyone?"

"THAT'S IT! THAT. IS. IT! HEY! BIMBO BARBIE! STAY AWAY FROM BILL!" She slammed down her quill and jumped to her feet.

"Paige! We're in the middle of a crisis here," said Piper. "Can you please tone down your hormones for a few hours?"

"Geez," said Paige. "Alright, alright!" Paige and Cati continued to glare at each other.

"Okay, the spell is finished," said Phoebe. "How much longer on the potion?"

"I don't know," said Piper. "We're still adding ingredients."

"Cati, why don't you and I go up and check on Cadance?" asked Bill.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," said Mr. Weasley.

"Would you rather we stayed here while they're dying upstairs and Cati's killing one of the Charmed Ones down here? Because we can do that," said Bill.

"Alright, but be careful," said Mr. Weasley.

"Once the potion's done, we're going to have to come up, whether you're back or not," said Sirius.

Bill and Cati nodded then moved towards the door. Right before they got there however, it opened and the rest of the Order walked in. "Hey, you're back!" exclaimed Cati brightly. "Well, bye!"

"Hey!" exclaimed Kala. "There's a Dark Lord up there! This is no time to be going off to have wild sex!"

"KALA!" exclaimed Cati.

"That one was for Cadance," said Kala.

"Y tu, Kala?" sighed Cati. "Alright, let's go Bill."

"Where are they going?" asked Arabella as Cati bounced past her with Bill right behind.

"They're going to check on Cadance," said Mr. Weasley.

"My! People come and go so quickly here," said Jen.

"I can't believe you just let them leave like that," said Piper shaking her head.

"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Weasley.

"Well," began Piper, wondering whether she should keep going and wondering if she was overstepping her boundaries. "You just let them run off like that."

"They're not just running off," said Mr. Weasley. "They're going to go help."

"But they could get killed," said Piper.

"We could all get killed," said Mr. Weasley. "You need to understand that Cadance and Cati work on their own sometimes and they do a pretty damn good job 95 of the time. It's just easier to let her go."

"But we need her," said Phoebe. "I only count 11 Sorcerers and Sorceresses. That's the exact number for a coven and we need a full coven or else this spell won't work."

"Oh no," said Arabella. "The McGradys are dead."

"Oh dear," said Piper. "I was afraid of that. Does anyone else know three Sorceresses?"

"Well, you'll just have to do it without a full coven," said Arabella.

"Haven't you been listening?" questioned Phoebe. "It won't work. The spell we wrote won't work. We have to say the spell while Harry throws the Potion."

"Maybe in your world," answered Arabella. "But here we often find that we have to make do with what we have."

Cadance, Charlie, and Minerva reached the Transfiguration room. They burst in with their wands out expecting danger of the gravest kind. Instead they found a pile of Death Eaters and Professor Dumbledore sitting behind McGonagall's desk. He looked up. "Minerva, your third years' essays on Animagi are excellent. Honestly, I've never seen so much information in a 2 foot essay!"

Cadance rolled her eyes towards the ceiling and shook her head. "Let's go, Uncle Albus," said Cadance. "We freed the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, and the potion and spell is almost ready." It was at this point that Cati and Bill came into the room.

"Hello!" said Cati brightly.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" asked Cadance.

"Because we finished the spell!" said Cati exuberantly.

"That's great," said Cadance.

"Where are the McGradys?" asked Cati. "We need to get ready."

"They're dead," said Cadance.

Cati ranted off a rabble of swear words not suitable for most audiences in several different languages.

"Watch your language, Catalin," said Dumbledore.

"Come on," said Cadance. "Let's go meet up with our dungeon-dwelled friends and then go get this whole battle-thing over with."

Voldemort sat in his throne room, formerly the Great Hall, with several Death Eaters. He looked at his watch. "Yep. Any minute now." He drummed his fingers on the arm of his chair. "Where are they? Lucius!"

"Yes, my lord?" asked Lucius.

"Consult the Evil Dictator's Handbook on Battling Good Guys please," said Voldemort. "How long after last leaving your foe are they supposed to show up?"

"According to the book they have approximately another 15 minutes," said Lucius.

"Damn," said Voldemort. "I'm bored. Entertain me, Lucius."

"Excuse me?"

"Entertain me! I want some impressions!"

"Impressions?" questioned Lucius.

"Now!"

"Alright," said Lucius. He took a deep breath. "Ohh, look at me! I'm a big slime ball with greasy hair! I'm a traitor!"

"THE FRENCH!" exclaimed Voldemort excitedly jumping to his feet.

"No, sir, I'm Severus Snape," said Lucius.

"Same difference," mumbled Voldemort sitting back down. "Let's have another one."

"Alright," said Lucius. "How about this? Ohh! I think I'm invincible because I've escaped from Voldemort at least three times tonight alone! I'm sleeping with the Minister's son! Ooooh!"

"SNAPE'S NEICE!"

"Hey!" exclaimed a voice from the doorway. The entire Order of the Phoenix was watching with amusement, except Cati who was fuming. "I AM NOT SLEEPING WITH BILL!"

"Well, honestly," said Cadance as they all started moving from the doorway. "This really isn't the time."

Voldemort pulled out his wand and sighed. "Who wants to die first?"

"Oh oh! I vote for you!" exclaimed Sirius, jumping up and down.

"Nice try," said Voldemort. "Avada Kedavra." A shot of green light sped towards Sirius. Suddenly a suit of armor jumped up from its spot against the wall and jumped in front of Sirius. The spell hit it instead.

"All hail the master of Transfiguration," said Cadance as she and Cati bowed at Dumbledore.

"We'll see about that," said Voldemort. He transfigured the suit of armor into a snake. It reared up and moved to bite Dumbledore.

"Hisssssssssssssssssssss," said Harry. Apparently that means "Go away, stupid snake" because the snake immediately backed off.

Professor McGonagall transfigured the snake into a rabbit.

"A rabbit?" questioned Cati. "That's your horrifying creature?" Suddenly the rabbit let out a roar.

"Look! It's the rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail!" exclaimed Kala excitedly.

"I'm King of the Britons!" exclaimed Sirius.

"Yeah, and I'm Merlin," said Cadance sarcastically. "Oh wait…"

"Enough!" shouted Voldemort. "Cadance, come here."

"Oh, yeah, like that's actually going to work again," said Cadance. "Like I'm just going to walk up to you again. I don't care if you're trying to play your mind games and you're getting into my brain and making me think of nothing but walking towards you… and pickles. It won't work. I'm not moving."

"No, but you are babbling," said Cati.

"I'm not making you think of pickles," said Voldemort.

"Oh, that must just be me then," said Cadance.

"Fine, I'll just find a new victim then!" said Voldemort like an annoying little kid.

"Bite me," said Cadance in a tone that was similar to his.

"I bet you wouldn't taste very well," said Voldemort thoughtfully. "But maybe a few of my friends would think so." He snapped his fingers and several Demons orbed in.

"That's just great," said Cadance. "That is special. You know, I really appreciate that. Thank you for this."

Kala sighed. "We're going to have to vanquish some of my best customers." She turned to her two trustworthy demon-friends that she had brought with her. "This bites."

"Alright, let's get on with this," said Cati pulling out two athames and twirling them in the air.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," said Wendy with a glint in her eyes.

Cadance and Minerva gave each other a half-smile and armed themselves with fireballs. They let them loose at the same time. Two of the demons went up in flames.

One demon sent a fireball towards the Order. Jen threw her hands up in front of her face. The fireball froze. Cati used her telekinetic powers to send it towards the demons who blocked it.

Piper waved her hands and the rest of the demons blew up. Cadance and Cati turned and stared at her. "How the hell did you do that?" asked Cati.

"Those were all lower level demons," said Piper. "Upper level demons obviously haven't decided to follow this Source of all Evil."

"Yes," sneered Voldemort. "That's why I've decided to have them all taken out." He snapped his fingers again and some Death Eaters ran in all speaking German.

"NAZIS!" exclaimed Sirius. "Man, I hate those guys!"

Cati winked at Cadance as she unhooked her bullwhip from her belt and, holding the handle, let the other end fall to the ground. "Indiana Jones always has to fight the Nazis!" she exclaimed.

"But they weren't wizards," said Cadance.

"Yeah, but they had guns. Really big ones," said Cati. "I think this calls for a change of clothes!" She snapped her fingers and she was in khaki pants, a khaki shirt, her long coat, and an Indiana Jones hat like Cadance's.

Cadance shook her head and rolled her eyes at the ceiling. "Just because they're German, that doesn't mean they're Nazis."

"Your hair is not blonde. You must die!" said one of the Germans in a robot-like voice.

"Damn Nazis," muttered Cadance. Cati cracked her bullwhip and raised her eyebrows. "Oh alright."

"Huzzah!" exclaimed Cati in excitement. They began battling. Cati, preferring to be an individual, had chosen to leave her wand in her pocket and was cracking her bullwhip at some poor Death Eater….. let me rephrase that sentence….. Cati, preferring to be an individual, had courageously pocketed her wand and was menacingly cracking her bullwhip at an ugly fiend of a Death Eater. Yes, that's much better.

"Somebody! Get that witch with the bullwhip!" exclaimed some German with his thick Germany accent. ("Get dat vich vid de bowlveep!")

One turned and started to shoot a poorly aimed Killing Curse at Cati. Now, Cadance couldn't let her friend get killed just like that, so she unattached her own bullwhip and cracked it around the butt munch's hand causing his poorly aimed curse to go even more awry, hitting one of his comrades (damn Nazis).

"Great, now there are two of them!" exclaimed another.

While Cati was cracking her bullwhip at one, another came up and grabbed her. He whirled her around to face him. Cati cracked a seductive half smile. "Do you want to know why Indiana Jones always gets caught?" she asked.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because he's got nothing but a bullwhip," said Cati. There was a pause for a second and then the Death Eater fell down with a knife in his stomach. Cati reached down and pulled it out of him. Voldemort just stared at her in disbelief. Cati smiled at him, wiped the knife off on his robes and then turned away. "Who's next?"

"Don't underestimate the little bouncy one in the funky hat," said Bill.

Voldemort shook his head. "Snape… honestly…. your niece!... I expect her to be at least a little more menacing!... She kinda reminds me of a Furby… And are you aware that she was hitting on me earlier?... That's just creepy… and..."

"Sir, you're babbling," said Lucius.

"Oh… right… Enough of this petty stuff!" exclaimed Voldemort. He lifted his wand and pointed it at Cadance. "Cremo Acerbus!"

Cadance winced and waited for the spell to hit her. But then she felt a weight hit her side and she hit the ground. She looked up and saw her uncle lying next to her. "NO!" she exclaimed.

"Cadance," said her uncle faintly.

"I told you," she said weakly. "I told you not to."

"Cadance, I knew I had to," he said. "I knew it from the start."

"Shhhh," she whispered. "Save your energy. You're going to be okay."

"Cadance, you know that spell as well as I do," he said, fainter still. "Cadance, the future is within you. You must make it out of this battle. Jen, too."

"What? Why?" asked Cadance. "What do you mean? 'The future is in you'? What does that mean?"

"I daresay you'll find out soon," said Dumbledore. "Just promise me."

"I promise," said Cadance. And with that Albus Dumbledore took his final breath and closed his eyes.

Cadance placed a kiss on his forehead and turned to face the rest of the Order with tears in her eyes. She slowly got to her feet. Voldemort began laughing maniacally.

"I have done it!" he exclaimed. "None of you are safe now! With Dumbledore gone, you will all perish under me!"

Cadance turned to him and narrowed her eyes until they were tiny angry slits. She threw her hands in front of her. There was a puff of smoke and Voldemort was no longer standing there.

"Cadance!" exclaimed Cati in disbelief. "You just blew up the Dark Lord!"

"Not permanently," said Cadance walking to them. "He's going to reassemble himself any moment now. Get ready. It's now or never." She handed Harry the potion. "You know what to do."

Slowly, behind the smoke, there was a more definite shape appearing. Minerva, Cati, the three Charmed Ones, and Jen stepped forward. "We don't have enough," said Phoebe anxiously. "We're four sorcerers short of a coven. The spell won't work."

"It will," said Cadance. "It has to. Never underestimate the power of some pissed off emotional women."

They all grabbed hands and Harry stepped forward. The smoke began to clear. Our Sorceresses began to chant. "Sorcerers of the past stand strong beside us. Vanquish this evil through time and space."

Phoebe went next "Melinda, Penelope, Patricia, and Grace."

Cati started the next line, "Sally, Monoweise, Keilie, and Kim."

Minerva said the next line, "Serenity, Hera, Melina, and Jim."

Cadance then went, "Merlin, Kaira, Sarah, and Scott."

Jen finished the next line, "Stay here beside us. The evil stay not."

Voldemort's outline was clear now. He screamed in anger.

The Sorceresses said the next part together, "Hear now the words of the witches. The secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of gods are invoked here. The great work of magic is sought. In this night and in this hour, we call upon the ancient power. Banish this evil from our sight."

Harry then threw the potion. Voldemort screamed in pain and fell to the floor. He writhed there for a second. Then he stopped. He got to his feet and began laughing. "Fools!" exclaimed Voldemort. "I can't be vanquished!"

"We didn't have enough to vanquish you," said Cadance.

"And now I shall vanquish you," said Voldemort. He pointed his finger at her. There was a second-long pause. Nothing happened. "What! My powers…"

"Are gone," finished Cadance. "Like I said we didn't have enough to vanquish you. But we did take away your invulnerability."

"Why, you little….." said Voldemort angrily advancing on them. He didn't make it far however. The minute he had his back to Harry, he found a knife in it. Voldemort fell to the floor.

"Cadance Rose," said Sirius. "Did you teach my godson to throw knives?"

Voldemort gasped for breath and grasped for the knife in his back. "Be kind to him Harry," said Cadance. "He's dying. Just use the killing curse. He won't feel a thing."

"Don't you want him to suffer?" asked Cati. "After all that he's done?"

"Harry, I know he doesn't deserve it," said Cadance ignoring Cati. "But you know you have to do it."

Harry nodded and raised his wand at Voldemort. "Avada Kedavra," he said. The force of the spell coming out of Harry's wand must have been powerful, because when it hit Voldemort there was a flash of light and everyone was thrown off their feet.

Harry got to his feet and looked around. Other than Snape, Bill, Charlie, and few Death Eaters, everyone else was unconscious.

"Okay, what just happened?" asked Harry.

Charlie bent down and felt for Cadance's pulse. "She's alive," he said. "I think they're all just knocked out."

"Damn, that was cool," said Bill looking around with a big grin on his face.

"What happened?" repeated Harry.

"You just vanquished the Dark Lord, Potter," said Snape. "You are wearing two of the most powerful amulets on Earth, so that was a hell of a lot of power released. Apparently too much power."

"Then why aren't we unconscious?" asked Harry.

"Well, you're wearing the Crystal of Gryffindor and the Amulet of Merlin and their greatest weakness is that they don't allow room for extra power. That's why Drew couldn't heal Cadance earlier. Apparently their greatest weakness turned out to be good this time," said Charlie. He looked around and thought for a second. "And I think that since the rest of us were closest to our Sorceress clan they got the full brunt of the power surge. It's that whole power magnet thing."

"And what about them?" asked Harry pointing to the Death Eaters who were beginning to stir.

"I'd have to say that it was probably the same thing," said Bill. "Some of those Death Eaters must have been Sorcerers."

"Perhaps we should take care of them," suggested Charlie.

"But Cadance and Cati would be so disappointed that they didn't get to do it," said Bill.

"Screw Cadance and Cati," said Charlie.

"Well, Charlie, you already do," said Bill with a wink.

"Weasley, now isn't the time," said Snape with disgust.

Apparently this also wasn't the time for fighting Death Eaters, because the House Elves had their own idea. A group of about 100 House Elves ran in madly shaking their little fists and screaming. They chased the Death Eaters out of the Great Hall in about 5 seconds flat.

Charlie, Bill, Snape, and Harry all looked at each other questioningly. "Okay, what just happened?" asked Charlie with an eyebrow raised.

"I think the House Elves just launched a rebellion against the Death Eaters who were trying to take over their castle," said Bill.

"Let's never talk about this again," said Snape.

"Agreed," said the other three.

Suddenly a demon swung in on a rope. She was wearing multi-colored robes. "Hey! Who killed the Dark Lord! I wanted to do it!" she exclaimed.

"Hey! I remember you!" exclaimed Charlie. "You were there the night Voldemort killed Fudge!"

"Why does he get the credit for that! I did it! It was me! All me!" she exclaimed. She sighed and swung out, her and her rope disappearing mid-swing.

"Who was that?" asked Bill.

"Radicalist demons," said Snape.

"Is she on our side?" asked Bill.

"For the moment," answered Charlie.

When Cadance opened her eyes, the thought that she was dead crossed her mind for a brief second. She couldn't really see anything, and it was absolutely silent. It was then that she realized that she was in the Hospital Wing and it was night. She turned her head a little bit and she saw her father-in-law sitting there reading his newspaper by the light of his wand. Charlie was in the chair next to him, his head down on her bed. Cadance tried to remember what happened, but everything was blurry. She looked around for her sister and her uncle. "Uncle Albus?"

Arthur heard her and he put down the newspaper and looked at her. "Cadance," he said, leaning forward.

Suddenly, all the memories came flooding back. Her uncle was dead. He had died to save her. She couldn't hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. Arthur pulled her into a hug and she cried into his shoulder. He rubbed her back soothingly. "Do you want me to get Madame Pomfrey? How do you feel?"

"I'm okay," she said wiping her eyes. "Big girls don't cry, right?"

Arthur kissed the top of her head. "Big girls know that they can cry when they need to," he said. "You need to get some rest. Try to go back to sleep. I'd wake Charlie up, but he hasn't slept since you were brought here and I think he needs the rest as much as you. I promised him I'd watch you if he fell asleep."

"How long has it been?" Cadance asked finally laying back down.

"Three days," he said.

"That long? What happened? How is everyone? Did the students make it back?" she asked quickly.

"Shhhhh," hushed Mr. Weasley. "There will be time for questions in the morning."

Cadance nodded and gave a small smile. She closed her eyes and was asleep within seconds. When she opened her eyes, morning had broken. Mr. Weasley had fallen asleep in his chair. It was now light and Cadance was able to take a look around. There were curtains around several beds. This made her very nervous. She sat up. Charlie, who was in the same position he was previous night, stirred. "Good morning, Sunshine," said Cadance grinning.

Charlie sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned over and kissed her. "I woke up about an hour after you did last night. My dad told me that you woke up. I was a little angry he didn't wake me up," said Charlie.

"You were sleeping like a baby," said Cadance. "So what happened?"

Charlie explained to her what happened when Harry killed Voldemort, including their theory about why he, Harry, Bill, and Snape had not been knocked out with the rest of them.

Cadance took another look around. She saw Jen and George curled up on a couch in the corner. Harry was stretched out on another couch with Ginny's head on his chest. "When did that happen?" she asked nodding in their direction.

"While you were unconscious," said Charlie.

"I guess war brings out people's true feelings for each other," said Cadance.

Just then, the door burst open. "GOOD MORNING!" exclaimed Sirius as he bounced into the room. Wendy trailed sleepily behind him.

Cadance grinned at him. Mr. Weasley, Harry, Ginny, Jen, and George woke up and stretched. Sirius hopped up on to Cadance's bed with her and Charlie. Wendy laid down on the empty bed next to it and closed her eyes.

"So how is everyone else?" asked Cadance.

"Mostly everyone's fine," said Charlie. "Arabella's a little crazy though."

"Mwahahaha!" laughed Sirius.

"What happened?" asked Cadance.

"Well, when we were all knocked off our feet after Harry vanquished Voldemort, she kinda hit her head off the wall. She woke up when we were bringing her up to the hospital wing that night. Sirius kinda told her that she would need a metal plate in her head," said Charlie.

"I was only kidding!" exclaimed Sirius. "It was so funny though! She passed back out by the time we got her up here and when she woke up again she kept tapping her head to look for the metal plate!"

"Sirius, you're maniacal," said Cadance.

"Well, she has a minor concussion and is acting very odd, but Madam Pomfrey says she should be back to normal in a day or two; a week at the most," said Charlie.

"Well what about everyone else?" asked Cadance. "And did the students make it back?"

"They made it back," said Charlie. "Your Elvin buddies brought them back as soon as the Death Eaters were gone. One of them in particular came back a few times to check up on us. I believe his name was Hasalof."

"Oh. Cati and I kidnapped him once," said Cadance. Suddenly realization donned on her. "Cati! Where's Cati!"

"She hasn't woken up yet," said Charlie. "She wasn't doing too well for a while, Cadance, and…"

"Where is she?" she asked getting out of bed. Charlie looked in the direction of one of the curtained off beds. Cadance pulled the curtain back. Snape and Bill were both sleeping in chairs next to the bed.

"Catalin Marie Nuperson, you wake up this instant," said Cadance staring at her. Nothing happened.

Professor McGonagall and Arabella walked in at this moment. "Cadance, what are you doing?" asked McGonagall.

Cadance shushed her and sat down on the edge of Cati's bed. "puek aw, Itac," said Cadance. She snapped her fingers in front of Cati's eyes a few times. She leaned in and whispered something in her ear that no one else heard. Cati suddenly rolled over away from Cadance.

"Ecnadac, enol aeme vael," said Cati sleepily.

"Enihs dnae sir," said Cadance.

"Derit mi," said Cati.

By this time Snape and Bill had woken up and were staring at Cadance and Cati as though they were mad.

"Erehsil lib," said Cadance.

"Tah wos?"

"Seibabl lib elttil evahd namihyr ramot gni oger uoyl lew," said Cadance.

Cati sat bolt upright in bed. "CADANCE ROSE DUMBLEDORE WEASLEY!"

"Uh oh," said Cadance diving over the bed and hiding behind Bill. Cati lunged for her. She practically landed on top of Bill. Cadance crawled under the bed and hopped on Charlie's back. "Sanctuary!" she exclaimed. She and Charlie toppled backwards onto the bed, laughing hysterically.

Suddenly, Arabella randomly slid across the slippery floor and ran into an empty bed. "Excuse me, sir," she said saluting it.

"I told you!" exclaimed Sirius.

"So now that everyone's awake, can you all please finally leave the Hospital Wing!" exclaimed Madame Pomfrey as she came out of her office.

"If everyone's awake, then who are in those other beds?" asked Cadance pointing to the last three beds, which were curtained off.

"Well, two of them ran into a demon in Neon Robes in Hogsmeade while they were getting drunk while you guys were fighting Voldemort and they hit on her and let's just say that she avenged the horrible act of disrespect done to you. And the other one is Mad-Eye. He kinda needs ANOTHER magical eye put in and it's kind of creepy to look at so we have the curtain up," answered Madame Pomfrey.

"I can hear you, Poppy!" exclaimed Moody from behind the curtain.

"So when can I get out of here, Poppy?" asked Cadance. "I need to go mourn my uncle's death and celebrate Harry's vanquishing of Voldemort by getting very very drunk for the first time in my life." Charlie wrapped his arms around Cadance and laughed silently into her shoulders.

"Yeah, let's go get drunk!" exclaimed Cati bouncing on the bed.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Madame Pomfrey.

"Why not?" asked Cadance.

"Because, Cadance, you're pregnant," said Madame Pomfrey.

A/N: The End! What do you think! Check for an Epilogue some time next week. And then next comes the sequel! It's coming whether you want it or not!
