Chapter 13
Hermione led the crowd though the halls to the Gryffindor common room, holding onto her husband's hand. When she reached the portrait that hid the opening, she gently placed her hand on it, and it swung open, much to the surprise of everyone but Harry.
Few students were still in the dormitory, and those who were, were staring at the portrait at the other end of the room, from which banging sounds were emitting. Suddenly, the noise stopped and Harry smiled.
"They know we are here. Come on, you all had better follow us, it's safer that way." Harry and Hermione led the way to the portrait and swung it open. The opening had only just been cleared when Harry's hand swung out and grabbed something from the air, to be followed closely by Hermione catching something else. In unison, they tossed the objects back into the room and there was a small explosion.
Hermione looked up quickly, and a golden light shimmered out of her hand and a liquid splattered onto the shield. Harry then spun and kicked into the air, sending what looked to be a dagger back into the room. After around five minutes of sending various spells and weapons back into the room, Harry deemed it safe to continue into the room.
"Raven! Lily! Come on out now." Foolish boy. Two panthers leapt out of the shadows, and Hermione just had time to shield again, sending the two animals flying back. "Great job Harry." "Heh..." Harry rubbed his neck sheepishly before turning to the rest of the group.
"Oops? Sorry about that. Must have missed it."
"Ow... Was that really necessary mum?" Lily asked, making sure that her mother was looking at her so that she could read her lips.
"Yes, no attacking the students! Or the professors! What where you thinking?"
"Aw mum, none of those spells would hurt anybody who was prepared."
"I thought we explained that nobody would be prepared?"
"Oh. Right. Forgot."
"You forgot? You think that you can set up a disfiguring charm in a doorway of a school? What about the poisoned daggers? You could have killed one of the professors!"
"Lily, Raven, don't poison the professors. How many times must I tell you that?" Harry grinned in the direction of his daughters.
"Yes dad."
Hermione turned suspiciously when she saw her daughters speak to her husband.
"What did you say to them?"
"Nothing dear."
"Hump. Girls, turn the lights on please." (A/n the lights were off until this point)
Lily and Raven laughed wildly and together clapped and the lights went on.
"What the hell?" Ron swore as trumpets began to play, clashing with the sound of forest animals howling.
"Mione? What did they do?" Harry signed to his wife, wincing the loud noises that she couldn't hear.
"You wouldn't believe it if you could see it." Her tone was dry.
"Oh come on Hermy." He was signing and speaking at the same time.
"We have black walls with bright pink couches. The couches are all hiding itching and laughing charms."
"Don't forget the confusion charms."
"Of course. There are teddy bears hanging from the diamond chandler, which is upside down on the flood. The bears have blindness charms. There are lime green tables and bright blue floors. There is a levitating charm on the floor."
"And don't you wish you could hear the trumpets?"
"Oh dear. Girls, take off the illusion now. Your father and I don't wish to loose any of our other senses please."
"Mum, you spoil all the fun."
"Of course dear."
The room changed and Hermione sighed in relief.
"Much better."
"How is it now?"
"We have dark wine colored carpet, cream walls, ebony tables and an ebony colored couch, loveseat, chair, and an ebony mirror covering one wall. There is a weapons wall, it has ten of each weapon, them being: Scythe, broadsword, katana, whip, hunting knife, set of 2 pistols, and 10 sets of daggers. On the other wall we have a fireplace, and a sounding board for you on the other wall."
"What is a sounding wall?" Albus asked, sounding intrigued.
"That is a wall that will allow Harry to hear echoes off everything in this room, so he with know instantly if anything is out of place. The mirror is for me so that I can see if anyone comes in the door while I have my back to it. It is also there so we can check behind furniture so that we can ensure that we are not snuck up on.
Minerva began to walk up the room.
"Minerva! Don't-."
It was too late. The unsuspecting woman was drenched in what looked like honey, and then a snow of feathers dropped on her.
"Raven!"
"I didn't do it!"
"Lily!"
"It seemed like a good idea at the time!"
"Feathers? Didn't we teach you to be more original then that?"
"Well, yes but I couldn't think of anything else! I added to it though..."
Harry turned to Hermione who had been yelling at the twins.
"Honey and feathers?"
Hermione sighed, "Yes dear, honey and feathers."
"What did they add?"
Hermione looked at Minerva and was shocked to see that the woman had sprouted a beak and chicken legs, and the feathers were flashing in Slytherin colors.
She quickly relayed what the twins had done to Minerva and Harry laughed.
"How long until it wears off?"
"Well..."
"We thought it would be you..."
"And so..."
"It doesn't come off for..."
"...I don't wanna say!"
"It's your turn!"
"Oh fine! It won't come off for a day."
"A day!" Minerva looked at the mess covering her and left the room in a huff, Harry could hear the laughter in the common room for a long time after that.
Each of the rooms was similar to the living room. All were stocked with weapons and all had dangerous spells locked into anything important. All it would take to set them off was the dark mark. Harry and Hermione were both impressed by the rooms, especially as it was their daughters first time with the spells.
Over the next few months, Harry and Hermione got a reputation for being the hardest teachers in the school, for in the short amount of time they were there, the students became much better at their defense spells.
Lily and Raven were worse then Fred and George Weasley, who they often teamed up with for prank pulling, never managing to catch either Harry or Hermione with one.
Every night, Lily and Raven prepared for the spell that would take out Voldemort forever. Every night, Harry and Hermione worried over what would happen to their daughters, having conversations nobody could understand, using a mixture of sign language, lip synching, and telepathy to speak, but those who could understand snatches of the conversation, were filled with fear off the things they were discussing. Finally, after nearly six months in the school, after over 4900 people were dead from Voldemort, the twins were ready for the spell, and Harry and Hermione were required to prepare for the battle.
On the last night before the battle, though nobody knew it, Harry and Hermione were sitting up at the staff table, worrying over a feeling that had been bothering them all day. Finally they understood. Death Eaters were approaching the forbidden forest. They were not yet fully prepared, the students were not expecting the battle. They would have to be hidden under a shield. Harry stood up and got the attention of the hall. When Hermione told him the school was all waiting for the announcement, he spoke.
"They are here. It is time."
