Hello darling readers— I am out of the block.
This is Ron and Harry's perspective of the battle:
The wind whipped Harry's face as they stood on the north tower, facing the oncoming army.
"I guess this is it, mate." Harry said, looking at his tall friend's shaggy red hair blowing around.
"I know you're coming out of this alive." Ron said, looking through the pair of omnoculars that Harry gave him in the fifth year.
"So are you, Ron." Harry assured him, "Parvati Patil." He spoke clearly into the mirror that he held in his hand.
"Yes, Harry?" Parvati's light voice came
"How is it holding down there?"
"I just got Aissa with Winky. The second run of auror-dragons are ready."
"Don't launch until my word."
"Right."
"I love you, Parv." he said, looking deep into the mirror.
"I love you, Harry."
*With Hermione and Severus*
"It's so close Hermione." Severus said as they ran down the underground corridor to get to Hogsmeade.
"Hurry, Winky!" Hermione yelled as they came to a bend where several Death Eaters were waiting.
"Expelliamus! Protego! Petrificus Totalus! Petrificus Totalus!" Severus yelled, stunning and disarming the two 'eaters in front of them. "Ahh, MacNair, Dashwood. Good to see you chaps again."
"What are we going to do, Sev?" Hermione cried.
"We have to kill them." came the sullen reply.
"No! We can use them! Imperio, Imperio!" she yelled, aiming the purple beams of light, "You must kill five of your fellow death eaters each! Now act just as you usually do, don't tell anyone, and go back and say you killed us. Now!" she screamed.
"Beautiful use of dark magic, love." He said, kissing her on the head. "Winky," he said gently, "Take Aissa to the nearest floo and get her to Granger Estates. They are waiting for her."
"Me is wanting to oblige but me is scared." the little elf replied
"You have to be brave for me, Winky." Hermione said, kneeling down next to her.
"Me will be trying. I is needing to go now."
"Godspeed, Aissa Snape." Hermione whispered, kissing her daughter. Severus did the same. After Sev handed Winky a letter the two were off.
"Hurry, Hermione, we have to get back soon."
"I know." she said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"We'll get out of this soon. And it will only be a little while till we see eachother again."
"By the heavens and earth and the elements of wind, water and fire, I give myself to you, Severus Snape. I will see you in heaven." She said quietly.
"Don't talk like that, love."
"Just know, if we die in this, we'll be together in heaven. I love you."
"There is nothing that I will do except try to stay with you."
"Then let me go. I have to go to Harry."
"I love you. I know you have to go to stay alive. To be seen with me is instant death."
With that, Hermione turned, her running shoes clopping on the stone tunnel's floor. He watched her jeans and her enchanted armor run away, her hair still long and unbound flying behing her.
"Godspeed, Hermione, godspeed."
*With Ginny and Draco
"Come on Ginny!" Draco yelled as he mounted the Concord Grape dragon in front of him.
"I'm coming!" she yelled, jumping onto a Chinese Fireball. "Whats the plan, Harry?" she yelled into the mirror.
"Get high up in the sky and as soon as we seem to be getting the upper hand shoot green sparks. But while you wait, dive down with the aurors and throw curses. Don't be afraid of Avada Kadavara and Crucio. This is now or never." the voice came as they were lifted over the walls.
"I got it, mate." Draco's face popped up in the mirror.
"Good." Harry said.
"Lets go Ginny." Draco screamed, "I love you!"
"I love you too!" she yelled back, pulling the chinese down with the other aurors.
"Avada Kedavra!" Draco yelled, obviously well practiced. Three instantly dropped.
"Come on!" Ginny aimed the enchanted arrows downward, shooting off one by one. They hit their targets as they collapsed in agony, turning into ash.
"Wonderful, babe!" He yelled in her general direction. She looked like Artemis, the warrior goddess apon her dragon, raining arrows of death apon the enemy, "Avada Kedavra!"
The scene that was before them was gory. There were bodies apon bodies laying in the field. There were more black robed men than white. So they were winning. Not by a lot, but Moldy Voldy was coming in fast with another wave of Thestrals.
"Spactus!" Ginny yelled, green sparks shooting into the air forming the shape of a lightning bolt. Soon other signes were up in the air, a snake, a rat from Wormtail, and the skull from Voldemort himself.
Parvati ran as fast as she could, the well trained fifth, sixth and seventh years echoing her steps. They ran fast, Parvati petrifing everything that moved, including starecases.
"Fifth years! Huddlemere, you lead them to the Astronomy tower! Be alert!" she yelled when they got to the great hall.
"Medicine staff, Neville, take them!" The next ten or so ran to the hospital wing.
"Potions bunch, you're taking them, Draco?"
"Yes, come on you lot, we're in a battle here!" he cried as they sprinted away.
"Remaining sixth years, Michael, take them to Gryffindor tower look out. Be aware! Password is Lady Fingers, be careful!" they too ran off.
"All right guys, we're in charge of keeping Harry safe, got it? I chose you because you know the shielding spells taught in advanced charms. We have to get up to the north tower to start the spell." she looked around at her twin, Padma, her best friend, Lavender, Hannah Abbott, Ernie McMillian, fellow gryffindors Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan.
"Parvati!" Hermione's voice came, "Harry's gone down the tower. As soon as we think we've gotten most of them, Harry's attacking. Get to the main courtyard to start the spell."
"Thanks, Mione." she replied, "To the main courtyard!"
"Start making the most vile potions you can think of, my stores are open, anything you think will stop the enemy. I have several batches of skin scalding solution, the fear solution and the brain decay solution. Make sure they work on skin contact!" Severus yelled as twelve or so people ran into the room and started pulling out culdrons and ingreedients.
"Ron, I'm so scared." Hermione cried as the two stood on the North tower, watching and waiting.
"Ah, the boy-who-lived." Voldemort said to Harry as he drew near. He was completely shielded, thanks to the seven that were behing him with the shield.
"You need a new line, Riddle." Harry rebuttle smoothly.
"I see this will be a matter of wits, Harry Potter."
"I see it will."
"Ron, I'm going, I don't care what you say, thats Harry!" Hermione struggled against him until she flung herself off the North tower, transforming into her animagus form, an owl as she dropped.
"Hermione, don't!" he yelled. Ron sighed as he cast a feather charm on the ground and jumped feet first off the tall tall tower. "The things I do for them." he thought.
"You know you could never get rid of me." Voldemort said, staring at Harry with red eyes.
"We'll see about that...." he said, raising his arm.
"Fine, boy, have it your way." he said, preparing lazily, "this is too much," he said after a few seconds, "Avada Kedavra."
