Hogwarts Attacked

By: Sirius **Padfoot

July 19, 2003

All the Gryffindor's, formerly and present, have been celebrating all weekend. The victory over Slytherin tasting sweeter then usual cause of the truth in Harry's explosion, 'Good can win over evil' the three houses cheered.

On Monday however no one was cheering cause that's when the Slytherin's started getting their revenge on Gryffindor and any one who cheered for them. They cornered Gryffindor's in empty classrooms and bathrooms and did the first hex or Jinx that came to mind on them. It had got so bad that Harry had told all Gryffindor were not allowed to walk around by them selves.

"Hermione I mean it you're walking with the rest of us." Harry said agitated with her.

"Harry my classes aren't with the rest of the Gryffindor's. I can't walk with you." Hermione said.

"Fine I'll walk with you. You're not going to your classes by your self got it Hermione." Harry said.

"Yeah I'm going too." Ron said.

"Oh all right you two fine I give up arguing about it. Lets go." Hermione gave in cause she didn't want to be late for class. Harry and Ron walked Hermione to class.

"Remember Hermione don't leave the class until we get back here to take you to your next class. Got it." Harry said obviously worried about her.

"All right I'll wait in the class with my teacher. You two had better hurry or you'll miss you're DADA class. I have it later today." Hermione said and smiled.

"All right go on in we'll see you after class." Harry said then turned with Ron and went to Professor Willis' class.

"And where have you two been?" Anna said annoyed that the two boy's came in five minutes late.

"Sorry Professor but we had to walk a friend to class. As you know I've told all Gryffindor's to walk together cause of all the Slytherin's attacks on us. And since none of us have her class we walked her to class." Harry said as he glared at Malfoy and dared him to say some thing. It would have ended in another Muggle fight. Cause Harry would have beat the crap out of him.

"This person is Miss. Granger of course correct Potter." Anna asked.

"Yes Professor. She is especially in danger of an attack from them just like me being the seeker that beat the crap out of them then also not being pure blood." Harry said still glaring at Malfoy.

"You mean Mudblood." Malfoy said and started laughing.

"Twenty-five points from Slytherin for saying that I've warned you before Malfoy. And another ten points for making Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley both late to my class to day. I will not stand for any Slytherin prejudice in my class this is Defense Against the Dark Arts not what ever you want to do class." Anna said angrily to Malfoy then turned back to Harry and Ron. "Well take you seats Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley." Anna said and smiled at them.

~*~*~*~*~

"Severus this has gone on for far to long and if you can't keep control of you're house I will step in. the Slytherin team is band as of now from Quidditch until you get control of them. If one more Gryffindor ends up in the Hospital wing this year cause of Slytherin attacks then I will ban them for the rest of the year and probably next year as well. I may be a kind head master but I will not take entire houses having to walk around together to keep from being attacked." Dumbledore said in one of his hardly ever seen angry spells. Actually he was more then angry he was pure out pissed.

"Yes Headmaster I am trying." Snape said though he hadn't even tried to keep his house in control.

"No you're not Severus. If you were trying none of this would have happened. Don't lie to me to keep your own butt out of trouble. Cause it won't work with me Severus. Now do as you're told and get that house of yours under control before I take it from you. Now go." Dumbledore said loosing his control he had kept to make it kind of civil conversation.

"Yes sir." Snape said and almost ran from Dumbledore's office.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Anna can I talk to you for a second?" Snape asked sticking his head in the DADA classroom.

"Sure Severus." Anna said and started for the door to her class.

"Not you Black!" Snape snapped.

"It's all right Sirius continue with the class." Anna said then walked out of her class and closed the door.

"Is it true that the entire Gryffindor house has to walk together cause of my house?" Snape asked.

"Yes it is and if you don't get them under control Dumbledore's going…" Anna said but was cut off.

"He's all ready pissed. God he just yelled at me literally." Snape said.

"Understandable. If the Daily Proffit got a hold of a house attacking the others Dumbledore would lose his job and Voldemort would have a clear shot at the school. You wouldn't want that now would you." Anna said.

"God no. I've got more to lose then any one else here if he got a hold of me." Snape said and rubbed the spot on his arm where the symbol of the Death Eater was.

"Yeah well why exactly are you talking about this to me for." Anna asked.

"Well you've got the main part of the Problem in your class right now. Draco Malfoy." Snape said.

"You want to talk to him." Anna asked.

"Yeah but school rules say you have to be here too. Course I…never mind." Snape said confusing Anna a little. She turned around and opened the door and stepped inside.

"Sirius." She said so to get his attention.

"Yes Anna?" Sirius asked.

"I'm taking some one. Draco Malfoy in the hall now." Anna said and moved so he could get threw. "Sorry continue I'll be back in a few minutes." Anna said then walked back out into the hall.

"Draco if one more attack on a Gryffindor happens I'll will suspend you got it. One more attack and you'll be going home. I will not stand for this any longer. Twenty Gryffindor's is going way over the line. Besides you have got the Slytherin team band from Quidditch. If the attacks don't stop for the next two years." Snape said angrily.

"Y-y-yes sir." Malfoy said scared.

"You under stand him." Anna asked.

"Yes I'm not stupid." Malfoy said sarcastically.

"Don't be a smart ass to me Malfoy. Good go tell the rest of the Slytherin's. Actually I'll be accompanying you to the rest of your house-mates. Snape go on in and tell them. I'll go with Malfoy here." Anna said and nodded to her classroom.

Anna followed Malfoy down the hall as Snape walked into Anna class.

"What do you want Snape and where is Anna?" Sirius asked.

"Don't worry Black I didn't attack her. She's gone with Malfoy. I need to talk to the rest of my house in the hall." Snape said in his usual snide way.

"I won't let you take any one out of this room with out Anna saying so." Sirius said standing up and Harry shot to his feet.

"Anna told me to talk to them now out in the hall all of you." Snape said ignoring Sirius.

"Sirius don't!" Harry said gripping his wand. "Don't make me knock your wand out of your hands." Harry said pointing it to Sirius' wand hand.

"I don't need the help of a child." Snape snapped.

"Yeah well I'm not helping you." Harry snapped back.

"OK! You've lost me on that one Harry." Sirius said as he looked confused at him.

"Sirius just put your wand down then I'll explain." Harry said in a stern way.

"OK! I'm being told what to do by a student." Sirius said and put his wand at his side.

"Good boy. Now you made a promise and you're going to live by it." Harry said.

"Oh fine take the Slytherin's out in to the hall." Sirius said and Harry put his wand back in his robs.

"Out go on." Snape snapped. And all the Slytherin's jumped up and ran out of the room. They stayed out there for a few minutes then came back into the room white faced and sat down not even looking at the Gryffindor's. especially Harry who was now up at the front of the room talking to Sirius in a hushed conversation.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that day all the attacks had stopped and all the students were in their common rooms and doing their homework. Snape's been avoiding any place that Dumbledore would be. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were out visiting with Hagrid but now are on their way back to the Castle. Harry sees a lot of strange people coming onto the grounds and recognized them to be Death Eaters and some dementors.

"Run! Get to the Castle. GO!" Harry yelled as he started shoving Ron and Hermione. He pulled out his wand feeling the normal affects of the Dementore's and turned around pointing his wand out. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!" Harry yelled and created a white stag, which attacked the dementors. "What are you waiting on GO!!" Harry yelled.

"What's… oh my gosh! Dumbledore we're under attack by Voldemort!!" Anna yelled running out into the grounds wand raised and stunning several Death Eaters. All the teachers ran out wands raised doing the same as Anna.

"GO YOU THREE. GET INTO THE CASTLE!!!" Sirius yelled running beside Anna protecting the kids.

"Come one you three lets go." Remus yelled from the door holding it open for them. Anna kept pace with Harry, Ron, and Hermione making sure any Death Eater that could attack then was stunned. Harry got a little ahead of her cause she was having a hard time. It seemed as if all of the attacking force was after Harry.

"Harry!! MOVE!" Anna yelled pushing him out of the way then got hit by a green light and flew back into the wall of the castle then she fell to the ground dropping her wand.

"ANNA!!!" Remus and Harry yelled.

"In Harry! They're after you now go. You promised to you know." Sirius said taking over Anna's position between Harry and the Death Eaters.

"Right. Check on Anna though." Harry said making a break for the castle along with Hermione and Ron. Once inside they noticed that the Death Eaters were retreating from the grounds.

"Anna, Anna, come on wake up." Remus pleaded as he kneeled down at her side. She didn't move but he knew she was alive. Remus grabbed her wand and placed it on her stomach then picked her up. "Snape open the door." Remus said since Snape was the closest to the door now that all the teachers were chasing the Death Eaters out of the Grounds. Snape knowing it to be a common trick done by Voldemort having done it himself on a couple occasions in the first war Stayed back for the second wave of Death Eaters either coming from the right or left of the original attack.

"Here Hurry." Snape said opening the door allowing Remus and Anna to go in. then returned to watching the sides of the castle. But nothing came. 'Evidently the Dark Lord doesn't have as many Death Eaters as he used to have.' Snape thought as he watched the rest of the teachers walking back.

"Why didn't you help us Snape. Did you plan this?" Sirius asked angrily.

"No why would I do that you blabbering moron." Snape said turning on his heal and went back into the Castle. He caught the suspicion in all the other eyes of the teachers but ignored it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning during the owl post Hermione got her usual Daily Proffit paper then shoved it under Harry and Ron's noses.

"Look at this. Evidentially Dumbledore couldn't keep this quiet." Hermione said.

Hogwarts Attacked By Death Eaters!!

Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry was attacked by Death Eaters and Dementors last night. No students were injured in the Attack but Dumbledore did say that the DADA Teacher was attacked and is in the Hospital wing. He said if she didn't get better by the end of the week then she would have to be sent to St. Mungo's. "I would like to reassure all the parents who have children going to Hogwarts that they are in fact safe. And I must implore all parents to leave their children in school. If you take them out then you'll be letting Voldemort win this war." Dumbledore said in a private conversation with us last night. He seemed really sure of what he was saying not waver in it one bit as he talked with our reporter. This attack makes this war a reality but no one was killed and only one person injured. The War against the Dark Lord continues and we implore the Wizarding population to stay calm and not panic. "We regret this attack and security around Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry will be brought up to it highest with Auror's at every entrance to the School. This Ministry asks that all parents remain calm." The minister of Magic said late last night after a long talk with the headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore. This paper has recently got word that the teacher injured was protecting Harry Potter. It seems that all the Death Eaters were after him. Our informant said that the plan was to capture Harry Potter and stun any one who got in their way. Mr. Potter is safe at Hogwarts School. And Professor Willis has been stunned by from our information three different Death Eaters. That is all this paper know at this time. Once more information comes out we will inform you.

"See Harry they were after you." Hermione said.

"Oh that makes me feel so much better knowing they weren't after Dumbledore." Harry said sarcastically as he picked at his food. "I bet Malfoy was one of them who hit Anna with a stunning spell." Harry said throwing his fork down and standing up. He started walking past the hissing Slytherin's when he stopped and looked at them.

"What are you idiots frikin Cats!" Harry said annoyed with them as several stood up then Malfoy stood up and grabbed them before they attacked.

"Don't! Leave him be. Go on Potter!" Malfoy said leaning across the table holding his house-mates.

"What ever you bunch of dumb idiots." Harry said and turned then left.

Then Sirius got several red envelopes.

"Look Hermione Sirius got a lot of Howlers." Ron said and pointed to Sirius who looked like Ron had after wrecking the car in his second year. Sirius opened one.

'HOW DARE YOU SEND THAT POTTER BRAT TO HOGWARTS WITH MY TWO CHILDREN I'D SUGGEST YOU GET THAT BRAT OUT OF THAT SCHOOL BEFORE ON OF THE STUDENT'S GET HURT. A TEACHER HAS ALREADY BE HURT CAUSE OF YOU'RE RECKLESSNESS!!!!' The howler screamed at him and all the Slytherin's all burst out laughing. Harry ran back into the Great Hall to see the horrified look on Sirius' face as he looked at the other seven red envelopes bouncing around in front of him.

"Sirius…" Harry said running up to the Teachers table and grabbing the Howlers and then took off back out of the Great Hall Sirius right behind him. And that just made the laughter worse from the Slytherin table. Even Snape was rolling around Laughing at the scene.
