************************************************
Here's my next chapter. I was debating on what to do and was going to write a note to you to ask about something but I decided to think on my own.
To my reviewers from the last two chapters: (You guys are the best!)
Nina- I updated. I'm glad you like the story. Ever since I wrote this, I've been thinking about writing other stories but I'm afraid that it might take time away from this story and make me update slower. Maybe during the summer I can write it . . .
Blizzard- Yes Dean (Thomas) Neville and Seamus are still in the room. I just haven't added them in yet. Have any suggestions? I was just thinking about that before reading your review. I'll make sure I add Snape and Draco in soon. I also have to put a prank in. Thanks for reviewing!
LittleEar BigEar's sis- I'm so happy that you like the story. This story will go on forever. It will include a lot of what everyone wants to see like new powers, trips to New York if desired (It can be other places but I live in NY so I know it well), and others. Is there anything that you'd like to read about that I could add? I just don't do the whole who's Harry's dad and he loves another guy. I hate slashes. Thanks for reviewing!
Ms. Prongs- First when I started to read your review, I thought that I made a huge mistake until I read that it was your favorite part. It was one of mine also. The truth sets in was the best part to write. I hoped you liked the idea of Voldermort becoming the lightning element. People were wondering why Harry was the mind if he had a lightning bolt-shaped scar. I didn't want to make him lightning because he could do a lot more as the mind. Don't you think? I read your story and I love it. You're a great author. Thanks for reviewing!
Moonlight- I tried to make my story original where people can get away from the whole Order of the Phoenix. I'm glad you like it so far. Thanks for reviewing and send any ideas you have.
Tom Riddle's Son- I'm so happy that this is your favorite fic! I'm going to start to add your new character this chapter near the end I think. I don't want to tell much more incase anyone else reads this. They'll just have to wait and see. I'm so flattered! This is the best story? You know what to say to a girl. I suppose you're already taken? I love the idea with the evil shapeshifters but I'll have to see. I think I have enough characters but they'll definitely be more unnamed elementals I think.
Coconut-ice agent h/h- I'm so proud of the story because you love it. I'm going to try to get it out every week. Keep reviewing. I'm so happy that I get so many reviews. About 10 a chapter and some in between. I love you guys!
Mike Potter 2002- At the basketball court, I really don't think Harry could move and plus, they probably were in too much pain and were thinking about air more than about where they can aim their feet and fists. I'll think about how Harry can read a book without opening. It's a cute idea. I love knew ideas. I don't think I'll be doing the idea of having him read everyone's mind because it's an invasion of privacy but if he's desperate. . I have Harry pretty powerful right now. I'm adding the other characters soon. A Mary Sue is a character that has no faults. I asked that q7uestion a few weeks ago because I didn't know either.
Wquad- I'm glad you like my plan.
Wolfmoon- I fixed my mistake. Thanks for telling me. I can't believe that I can be so stupid.
Ran- I won't rush because whatever I write is being updated so they'll be shorter than normal.
*************************************************
Harry's world went to into blackness as he fell asleep. What seemed like seconds later, he awoke. Angry that he woke up, Harry closed his eyes to go back to sleep when he heard a noise. It didn't seem like it was close to the room but from another part in the castle. Harry listened for a few seconds but didn't hear it again.
"Harry?" a voice asked.
"Neville?" Harry asked. Neville poked his head out from the drapes around his bed.
"Did you hear that noise?" he asked. Harry nodded. "What was it?"
Harry shrugged. "I don't know. I don't hear it now so it can't be bad." Neville took his answer and disappeared through the drapes again. A few moments later, more snoring was added to the room.
Harry closed his eyes to sleep. He pulled the covers close around him. He was comfortable in the blankets. Suddenly he heard the noise again. It sounded like banging. Hard banging as if something or someone was trying to get into the castle. Sitting up in bed, Harry looked around the room. No one else was awake. The room was warmer that it was before. Quietly searching through his trunk, Harry found what he was looking for. He threw his invisibility cloak over his shoulders and headed out of the room. Walking down to the common room, he as about to walk towards the portrait when he heard someone.
"Who's there?" asked a scared voice. Harry looked up, startled. "I heard you come down. How's there?" Harry saw a head show from the top of one of the couches. It was Lavender. She looked scared and shaken with a few tears running down her face. She had a blanket wrapped around her.
"Lavender, it's me," Harry said taking off the cloak. Lavender jumped as Harry seemed to appear out of thin air. "What are you doing up?"
"I heard noises so I came down here," she answered. Harry approached her on the couch. "I don't know what it is but it's scary especially because we could be attacked any minute."
"I heard the noises also," Harry replied. "They sounded like banging."
"Why did you come down?" Lavender asked.
"I was going to find out what it was," Harry said. He didn't find a point not to tell her.
"Can I come with you?" she asked. "I can't sit here all alone." Harry thought about it. He knew how Lavender felt. He wouldn't want to be left alone scared to death.
"You need to promise me that you do as I say," Harry said. "If I say for you to run away, you need to do it without hesitation."
Lavender's eyes lit up. "Does this mean that I can go with you?"
"That is if you promise," he responded.
"I promise," she said standing up.
"We're going to go under my cloak. The last thing we need is for a teacher to see us out of bed." Harry took the cloak and threw it over both of them. Lavender looked around and admired the cloak. "Come on. We need to be quiet though."
They walked quietly out through the portrait and into the halls of Hogwarts. The halls were dark so they both lit their wands. After awhile, it began to get very hot under the massive cloak so they took it off. They didn't see nor hear anyone for awhile. They walked down the hall as quietly as they could. Suddenly they heard the noise again and jumped in surprise. Waiting a few seconds, they continued walking down the halls. When they reached a corner, they heard a noise coming from the hallway in front of them. It was a loud noise and sounded close. Not wanting to be there, Harry and Lavender backed up slowly trying not to make noise. They backed away from the area where the sound came from before bumping into something or someone behind them. They screamed in surprise and fright. Another scream joined theirs. They whipped around to see Draco looking at them in surprise with his own wand lit.
"Harry?" he asked shinning the light towards the Gryffindors.
"Draco?" Harry asked.
"What are you doing up?" they asked at the same time. Lavender looked at them strangely. They never call each other by their first names.
"I heard a noise and when I went to see what it was, I passed Lavender in the common room and brought her," Harry explained.
"So I'm not the only one who heard the noise," Draco stated. "For a minute before, I thought I was imagining things."
"You don't think that it's You-Know-Who, do you?" Lavender asked. Although she was enemies with Draco, she decided to put against their differences especially because he wasn't giving her a hard time. If Harry was fine with Draco around, she could live with him. Harry and Draco are bigger enemies than her and Draco will ever be.
"I really hope not," Draco said.
"Do you know when he was going to attack?" Harry asked.
"My father is careful not to say anything around me," Draco said. "He won't exactly owl me to tell me either. All I know is that Voldermort was going to attack soon."
"I got that impression already," Harry said. They were silent when they heard the bang.
"Should we see what it is?" Draco asked. He looked as if he hoped that Harry would let him go back to bed although Draco wanted to try out what he had been practicing with Professor Miller.
"Let's just get closer to it," Harry said. "Then we'll decide what to do." They remembered hearing the noise from down a dark hallway as they quietly walked. They stopped ever so often to do a check if anyone was near or heard them. Walking along the corridor, they heard shouting. It sounded like spell casting. Draco, Lavender, and Harry looked at each other before getting closer to the voices. They were coming from outside.
They reached the main doors before hearing banging. It was forceful banging. Moving away from the door, they stood by a window and saw something that shocked them.
"I guess we know when Voldermort is attacking," Harry remarked not taking his eyes off of the scene. From what he could make out in the darkness, the teachers as well as Sirius, and Remus were outside. Millions of Death Eaters were shooting spells at them while others tried to get through the front doors. Colors flew across the grounds as spells whizzed back and forth.
"Where's Voldermort?" Harry asked looking around. He didn't see him anywhere.
"He usually appears later when the light side is weakened," Draco answered. Lavender took a step away.
"And how would you know that?" she asked.
"Because my father's a Death Eater and used to tell me things before he learned to distrust me," Draco replied. He looked at her. "At least I did answer and told when he will most likely arrive instead of telling you that he will never come and end up surprising you!"
Lavender looked at him and shrugged. "Good point," she said.
"We have to get out there," Harry replied coldly. He watched as a few Aurors ran up to the fight. They had to run from Hogsmeade. They're was no apparation allowed in Hogwarts grounds. "Especially when Voldermort arrives."
"You can't go out there!" Lavender exclaimed. "You'll get killed!"
"What do you want us to do?" Draco asked ignoring Lavender. He knew Harry wasn't going to change his mind. He admired how Harry did what he felt he had to do with no complaints. At times it was stupid, yes Draco will admit that, but he felt it was what he had to do.
Harry thought about what they were going to do. "Draco, you stay here. Lavender, run to the common room and wake up Jake, Matt, Ashley, Caroline, Liz, and Dean. Send them down here. Leave everyone else asleep. Remain in the common room and send anyone who comes down wondering about the noise back to bed. What ever you do, don't look nervous and don't tell them that we're under attack." Lavender nodded before running off quickly in the direction of the common room.
"What are we going to do now?" Draco asked.
"We wait till the others get here. Then we hand leadership over to Jake." Harry smiled very slightly. Jake was the leader of their group. Harry felt better that he was the leader because he didn't like having to watch everyone and have their lives on his hands.
They were silent for a few seconds until Draco broke the silence. "Do you see professor Snape anywhere out there?"
Harry looked around. "No. Voldermort probably sent him to lead a group to and through the castle because he works here."
Another loud bang was heard at the main doors. Harry looked up. "What should we do about the doors?" Draco asked.
Harry sighed. "Reinforce them I guess," he answered. He walked closer so he could see the door and strengthened it with a spell. He walked back to the window.
"How long will that hold?" Draco asked.
"Not very long at all," Harry replied sadly. He rubbed his eyes. This is definitely not something he loves to do in the early morning hours.
"There you are!" Someone exclaimed. They turned. Caroline was running up to them. She was wearing simple muggle clothes. She wand tip was lit. "The other are coming." Within a few seconds, they had all arrived.
"This is ridiculous!" Caroline yelled. They were depending on the light from their wands to light up the place were they were quickly discussing strategies. Caroline lit a fireball and made it float in the air giving light and warmth off.
"Final decision," Jake said. "A vote: do we want to sit on out butts and watch or do we want to get out there and show them how a bunch of fifteen year olds can fight?"
"Fight!" Everyone yelled. Jake started thinking up battle plans while Dean and Liz went to strengthen the main doors. They covered the doors in a thick layer of ice and on top of that, a thick layer of crystal. Given the few seconds, Jake was able to tell everyone where to go. They would try to remain secret until the Dark Lord came himself. They also needed to us up little energy until the big fight so wands were a must. They all changed out of their muggle and school clothes. They all wore robes of their element. Dean's were light blue and gray while Draco's were gray. Harry made sure to change his hair color. He didn't replace his scar because he didn't want it hurting when Voldermort came. It would just cause problems. Harry just made sure to make his hair cover the spot so it wasn't obvious that his famous scar was missing. They ran to different parts of the castle to appear from. They wanted to cover as much distance as possible.
Harry ran with Matt. They were running toward one of the far ends of the school. They got out of the castle through a window.
"For once, I really wanted to sleep for a long time," Matt remarked. "But no, I have fight guys dressed in black."
"Who would want to sleep when you can risk your life?" Harry sarcastically asked. Once outside they viewed their surroundings. People were fighting all over the place and many were going down. More Aurors were going down than Death Eaters.
"Stupefy!" Harry yelled. A Death Eater was sneaking up on an Auror but collapsed from the spell before attacking. The Auror turned around when he heard the Death Eater fall and looked around in confusion. He didn't know who stunned him. Matt and Harry split up and ran around the perimeter attacking Death Eaters. Now there were more people fighting for the light side than for the dark side. Harry ran around the perimeter looking on before someone yelled at him to duck. Harry ducked while a spell whizzed over his head. Instinctively, he threw a kick at the person's feet sending them to the ground. They fell and Harry saw it was a Death Eater that must've known he was there and tried to attack. Harry stunned him before running away from the spot incase anyone else saw the spells. He saw Caroline running up to him. She was the one who warned him to duck.
"This is a nightmare!" she exclaimed once she reached him. "I'm ready to show myself!"
"So am I, Cat," Harry responded. It was probably smart to show themselves. Those who are fighting a lot of death eaters will lose those who want to fight the teenagers.
'Bear,' Harry called out. Jake called back immediately.
'What's up?' he asked worried.
'I have an idea,' Harry said. 'Let's show ourselves so the adults don't have as many death eaters to deal with.' There was a slight pause.
'I hate this 'fight in hiding' thing. We were trained to fight so let's do it!' Jake exclaimed. 'Tell everyone to come out of their spots but only fight using magic through a wand!' Harry called to everyone who agreed with the idea.
"Let's go," Harry said to Caroline. Her eyes were flashing in rage and anticipation. They walked out of their spots and into the clearing. They stunned any death eater they saw. They could see the others already fighting. A few of the teachers saw the others there but had no expression on their face. Some Aurors were confused on why a bunch of teenagers where out. Those Aurors weren't brought up to date with the new protection force.
"Stupefy!" Harry yelled as a death eater who was ready to curse him fell to the ground. The amount of death eaters still fighting decreased almost instantly. Harry saw Draco stun his father to the ground. There wasn't a bit of sadness or regret in his eyes as he watched his father fall. He and Harry made eye contact for a second before going back to fighting. Suddenly he heard shouting coming from the castle. He looked up. Many students were running out of the castle. Most were Gryffindors. Harry only had Lavender stay at the tower he didn't want her there. Now most of Gryffindor was out. A few were throwing spells. He saw Ron and Hermione fighting and watching each other's backs. The Weasley twins and others on the Gryffindor Quidditch team had filled up water buckets and took to the sky. They dropped the water on some of the death eaters making them fall to the ground. Ginny Weasley lost her shy appearance as she stunned those who came near her.
Harry smiled slightly as his friends fought but he knew it would be a problem when Voldermort arrived. Harry secretly wished that he wouldn't arrive. He didn't want to fight someone who was powerful to begin with but now controlled lightning. He ran over to the Gryffindors to help them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dean~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean was fighting along side Jake. He was tying to learn as much as possible. With Stacy, he learned a lot in a really small amount of time but he was trying to learn off of Jake who in turn was trying to teach him. Dean knew most that he needed to know about his powers and battles but it was smart to stick around an experienced shapeshifter. They were fighting near the forbidden forest. Done with the death eaters that were attacking them at the moment, Dean was looking around when something, or rather someone caught his eye. She was standing at the edge of the forest observing the fight. She had light chestnut brown hair and piercing green eyes but not as piercing as Harry's. Her eyes held pain in them. She looked like she was his age. She was wearing a long black robe with the hood lying down on her back. It was a death eater's robe. She carefully took of her robe to reveal muggle clothes. She took off her sweatshirt and shivered a little as she revealed a sleeveless top underneath. On her arm was the dark mark. She put a finger in her mouth before bringing to the mark and rubbing. Dean's eyes widened as he saw the mark disappearing. The mark wasn't real! Once the mark was gone, she put back on her sweatshirt and robe. Taking out her wand, she quickly stunned a death eater by her before disappearing into the forest leaving Dean speechless. He had to find out who the girl was but had bigger problems to handle right now. He'll find the girl later.

Walking down to the common room, he as about to walk towards the portrait when he heard someone.

"Why did you come down?" Lavender asked.
"I was going to find out what it was," Harry said. He didn't find a point not to tell her.
"Can I come with you?" she asked. "I can't sit here all alone." Harry thought about it. He knew how Lavender felt. He wouldn't want to be left alone scared to death.
"You need to promise me that you do as I say," Harry said. "If I say for you to run away, you need to do it without hesitation."
Lavender's eyes lit up. "Does this mean that I can go with you?"
"That is if you promise," he responded.
"I promise," she said standing up.
"We're going to go under my cloak. The last thing we need is for a teacher to see us out of bed." Harry took the cloak and threw it over both of them. Lavender looked around and admired the cloak. "Come on. We need to be quiet though."

"For once, I really wanted to sleep for a long time," Matt remarked. "But no, I have fight guys dressed in black."
"Who would want to sleep when you can risk your life?" Harry sarcastically asked. Once outside they viewed their surroundings. People were fighting all over the place and many were going down. More Aurors were going down than Death Eaters.
"Stupefy!" Harry yelled. A Death Eater was sneaking up on an Auror but collapsed from the spell before attacking. The Auror turned around when he heard the Death Eater fall and looked around in confusion. He didn't know who stunned him. Matt and Harry split up and ran around the perimeter attacking Death Eaters. Now there were more people fighting for the light side than for the dark side. Harry ran around the perimeter looking on before someone yelled at him to duck. Harry ducked while a spell whizzed over his head. Instinctively, he threw a kick at the person's feet sending them to the ground. They fell and Harry saw it was a Death Eater that must've known he was there and tried to attack. Harry stunned him before running away from the spot incase anyone else saw the spells. He saw Caroline running up to him. She was the one who warned him to duck.
"This is a nightmare!" she exclaimed once she reached him. "I'm ready to show myself!"
"So am I, Cat," Harry responded. It was probably smart to show themselves. Those who are fighting a lot of death eaters will lose those who want to fight the teenagers.
'Bear,' Harry called out. Jake called back immediately.
'What's up?' he asked worried.
'I have an idea,' Harry said. 'Let's show ourselves so the adults don't have as many death eaters to deal with.' There was a slight pause.
'I hate this 'fight in hiding' thing. We were trained to fight so let's do it!' Jake exclaimed. 'Tell everyone to come out of their spots but only fight using magic through a wand!' Harry called to everyone who agreed with the idea.
"Let's go," Harry said to Caroline. Her eyes were flashing in rage and anticipation. They walked out of their spots and into the clearing. They stunned any death eater they saw. They could see the others already fighting. A few of the teachers saw the others there but had no expression on their face. Some Aurors were confused on why a bunch of teenagers where out. Those Aurors weren't brought up to date with the new protection force.
"Stupefy!" Harry yelled as a death eater who was ready to curse him fell to the ground. The amount of death eaters still fighting decreased almost instantly. Harry saw Draco stun his father to the ground. There wasn't a bit of sadness or regret in his eyes as he watched his father fall. He and Harry made eye contact for a second before going back to fighting. Suddenly he heard shouting coming from the castle. He looked up. Many students were running out of the castle. Most were Gryffindors. Harry only had Lavender stay at the tower he didn't want her there. Now most of Gryffindor was out. A few were throwing spells. He saw Ron and Hermione fighting and watching each other's backs. The Weasley twins and others on the Gryffindor Quidditch team had filled up water buckets and took to the sky. They dropped the water on some of the death eaters making them fall to the ground. Ginny Weasley lost her shy appearance as she stunned those who came near her.
Harry smiled slightly as his friends fought but he knew it would be a problem when Voldermort arrived. Harry secretly wished that he wouldn't arrive. He didn't want to fight someone who was powerful to begin with but now controlled lightning. He ran over to the Gryffindors to help them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dean~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean was fighting along side Jake. He was tying to learn as much as possible. With Stacy, he learned a lot in a really small amount of time but he was trying to learn off of Jake who in turn was trying to teach him. Dean knew most that he needed to know about his powers and battles but it was smart to stick around an experienced shapeshifter. They were fighting near the forbidden forest. Done with the death eaters that were attacking them at the moment, Dean was looking around when something, or rather someone caught his eye. She was standing at the edge of the forest observing the fight. She had light chestnut brown hair and piercing green eyes but not as piercing as Harry's. Her eyes held pain in them. She looked like she was his age. She was wearing a long black robe with the hood lying down on her back. It was a death eater's robe. She carefully took of her robe to reveal muggle clothes. She took off her sweatshirt and shivered a little as she revealed a sleeveless top underneath. On her arm was the dark mark. She put a finger in her mouth before bringing to the mark and rubbing. Dean's eyes widened as he saw the mark disappearing. The mark wasn't real! Once the mark was gone, she put back on her sweatshirt and robe. Taking out her wand, she quickly stunned a death eater by her before disappearing into the forest leaving Dean speechless. He had to find out who the girl was but had bigger problems to handle right now. He'll find the girl later.
