A/N: It looks like I was wrong. This isn't the last chapter; in fact it might be the chapter after the next one! Cool this thing is going to last a little longer! I also MIGHT write a sequel after I finish the Heirs to Four. We'll just have to wait a see.

The dream

The next morning at five thirty everyone had cleaned up, eaten, gotten dressed, and was on the train.

"I'm going to take nap I'm still tired from the battle last night." Harry yawned. Everyone in the compartment only nodded. Harry stretched out on the seat and yawned one more time before falling asleep.

Harry was walking around the Hogwarts grounds. He was out patrolling the school grounds for students that were out of bed or any signs of Death Eaters. Harry spun around with his wand pointing in the darkness. He had heard something behind him.

"Must have been an owl." He thought. He continued walking around, but kept his wand at the ready, he had a feeling that something was going to happen, but he wasn't sure what.

"Harry! Help!" Came someone's voice. Harry turned around and saw Ron and Hermione running towards him.

"Ron, Hermione! What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"Death Eaters, everywhere, there's only a few, but they're still very powerful." Hermione panted.

We saw them coming out of the forest, near Hagrid's hut. We managed to warn him, he went up to the castle to tell Dumbledore." said Ron. "He had told us to follow him but we slipped away to find you."

"You shouldn't have done that" Harry said. "Come on, let's got to the castle before they find us." Ron and Hermione nodded and started to follow the running Harry.

There was a flash of light, and the trio stopped.

"What the hell was that?" Ron asked.

"One of the protections on the school fell" Hermione said.

"We need to hurry" Harry said.

"You are not going anywhere!" someone said. The group turned around and saw two Death Eaters with their wands extended. Harry, Ron, and Hermione slowly back up into one of the walls.

Harry glanced around and saw a small pile of dust on the ground. He quietly charmed the dust so as no one heard him.

"Hey, before you kill us" Harry said. "How many Death Eaters does it take to screw in a light bulb?" Hermione shot Harry a look that said, 'why the hell are you telling jokes at a time like this?'

The two Death Eaters looked at each other in confusion.

"Uh, one?" suggested one of the Death Eaters.

"WRONG!" Harry shot the dust into the Death Eater's eyes and yelled, "NOW!"

The trio all shot stunning charms at the blind Death Eaters. The Death Eaters dropped to the ground unconscious.

"Nice one Harry" Ron complimented.

"Thanks" Harry grinned. "We need to get inside or we'll be caught by on of them" Harry motioned towards the unconscious Death Eaters. Ron and Hermione said ok and started running towards the entrance again.

When they got near the main doors what they saw made them stop and pale. There were teachers on the ground; the only ones that were fighting were Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape.

"What are we going to do?" Hermione asked. "The teachers are out numbered, and so are we."

"We'll do the only thing we can do, fight" Harry whispered. He desperately didn't want to lead his best friends into battle, but there was nothing else he could do. "Let's go." And together, Ron, Hermione, and Harry walked onto the battle field and started sending spells at the Death Eaters.

Snape was cornered by four grinning Death Eaters, each with their wands pointing at the potions master.

"Say good night traitor" one of them sneered.

"Good night" said a voice behind them. In a second the four Death Eaters were on the ground, unconscious.

"Thank you Mr. Potter" said a very surprised Snape.

"No problem, now, lets kick some Death Eater ass" Harry smirked.

"For once Potter, I agree with you." Snape nodded. He got up and dusted himself off, then picked up his wand and joined McGonagall.

Harry was dueling a Death Eater and losing. Finally the Death Eater disarmed Harry.

"This it Potter, have a nice sleep." The Death Eater said. Harry closed his eyes as the Death Eater raised his wand and said: "Avadda Kedavra!" The green blast shot towards Harry, but, it never hit.

Harry felt something land at his feet and fearing what it was, he opened his eyes and a sob reached his throat. Hermione was on the ground, dead.

"HERMIONE!" someone screamed. It was Ron. He ran over to the dead Hermione and gently checked for a pulse. "Hermione, no, it can't be" Ron cried. "No, you can't be dead, you just can't."

"I always knew that mudblood would do something stupid like that." The Death Eater laughed.

Ron looked up at the laughing Death Eater. There was fire in his eyes. And also a deep hatred Harry had never seen in anyone's eyes before.

"Malfoy," Ron whispered. "I pity you. You've never had love in your heart. All you've ever had was hatred for everything good. You were always alone because of that."

Draco pulled off his mask and hood then grinned.

"Gee Weasel, how ever did you ever guess it was me?" Draco drawled.

"You die right now Malfoy." Ron snarled.

"No I don't Weasel, you're only saying that because I killed your girlfriend."

"She wasn't my girlfriend, but I did love her." Ron raised his wand and pointed it at Malfoy's heart.

"What are doing Weasly? Put that down!" Draco's tone was panicky.

"Good bye Malfoy." Ron said. "Avadda Kedavra." The green light hit Malfoy square in the chest. ________________________________________________________________________

Harry woke up in a cold sweat. Cho was sitting beside him gently stroking his cheek and whispering for him to wake up.

"Harry, it was the ground s again wasn't it?" Cho whispered. Harry only nodded in response. He looked around and saw everyone was asleep except him and Cho.

Cho kissed Harry on the lips laid down beside him. "It's ok Harry, you'll be alright." ________________________________________________________________________
