There were more attacks everyday. So far 2506 people had died and 1024 lay hurt from the attacks. Seamus' mother passed away from a strong Crucio curse and Dean's dad died from a killing curse.

Hermione's parents had both been killed in an attack on muggle-borns.

And Ron's school year had been horrid.

"Hey, Weasley, why should we trust you? For all we know you might be working for You-Know-Who!" cried a Slytherin in the halls.

"I wonder why Dumbledore even allows him here! He might be giving news to You-Know-Who!" cried another Slytherin.

Luckily, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor still spoke to him nicely.

Ron, Hermione, Seamus, and Dean spent most of their days out by the lake. School continued even with all the attacks. But the air grew thick with fright and suspense. Everyone was waiting for the battle.

And it finally came.

A/N- Do NOT shoot me please! The next chapter is the battle and I wanted it all alone. Please review! I know it was really short but please don't get mad! I've been sick lately so I won't do a thank you to everyone. Sorriez…

THANKS TO ALL THE READERS AND REVIEWERS!
