ATTACKS AT DIAGON ALLEY AND HOGSMEAD

Soon, they were approaching May.

'May I have your attention please?' McGonagall said as she held a spoon close to her glass goblet and gently hit it.

Once there was silence, Dumbledore stood up and address the students, 'As you all know, the end of the term is approaching. The staff and I have decided to hold a ball. It will be opened to 4th years and above. Students may wish to bring a younger student to the ball if they want to. It will start at 6pm. Dress codes are the attire. I hope that it would be a successful ball.'

Ginny turned to Harry, 'So Harry… who's the lucky girl you're going to take to the ball?'

'Hmmm… I don't really know Ginny. Probably one who's smart, beautiful, like… Briseis?'

'Oh… Achilles'll probably take me… who knows…' Ginny playfully retorted.

'Er… Luna, about the ball…'

'Yes Neville?'

'Well… do you… I mean…'

'Go on Neville!' Ron said.

Neville smiled weakly and said, 'Would you like to go with me? To the ball I mean…'

'Of course Neville! I'd love to.'

On the High table, Achilles smiled at his brother and his girlfriend. During the few weeks, Harry and the Maruders have been training, learning wandless magic, becoming an animagus and planning pranks.

Suddenly, the doors blast opened, Aurors came running in shouting, 'Dumbledore! Hogsmead and Diagon Alley have been attacked by Death Eaters!'

'Everyone screamed and started to panic but Dumbledore calmly shouted, 'Silence! Now Professors send the students to their houses.'

The Jedis snapped their fingers and immediately 8 horses assembled in front of them with their battle gear.

Harry and the Maruders quickly rushed to Achilles, 'We'll go too!'

Achilles looked at Dumbledore, who nodded his head and then spoke, 'Alright but take care.' Harry nodded and snapped his fingers. Again, 6 horses appeared in front of them. All 14 of them got on and rode towards Hogsmead.

Rave, take Neville, Luna, Emili, Sammie and Jon to Hogsmead and stop them! I'll take the rest to Diagon Alley! Harry said through his mind link to Rave.

Rave nodded and rode to Hogsmead with their horses.

The death eaters were killing all the innocent wizards and witches in Diagon Alley, turning it into a lifeless village.

Achilles led the rest into the battle. They swung their swords into the death eaters, riding through the village. Soon, Lucius knew that it was Achilles. He quickly gathered all the remaining death eaters behind him. They would launch a full attack on Achilles when given the order.

'My prince, a pleasure to meet you. I believe we have yet to continue our fight. What say you?' Lucius smirked and continued, 'but this time, it would be me, Bella, Crabbe, Goyle, Avery and Nott against you. It seem much more fair since you are… how shall we say… harder to tame?'

Briseis quickly rode to him, 'Achilles, no… It's six to one… You'll get killed.'

'What's the matter Achilles? Scared?' Bellatrix taunted him.

Achilles turned to Briseis, 'Don't worry, I'll be safe. I promise you.' He gave her a quick kiss and got off his horse.

'How about this Achilles, we'll make a pact with you. If you win, we'll leave, if you lose, we'll take Potter and you have to join the Dark Lord.'

'There are no pacts between men and lions,' Achilles answered.

'Fine by me then,' with that, he thrust his sword towards Achilles.

Achilles moved with grace, attacking and blocking their attacks. Apparently, they weren't as good as Malfoy. Even he could not match his standard of fighting.

He blocked another attack from Crabbe, holding his shoulder and thrust his sword into his chest, showing no emotion or mercy.

Lucius got up and saw his Achilles's sword in Crabbe's chest. Immediately, he shouted to the rest of the death eaters to attack, 'Attack!'

Then, a hundred arrows flew from behind and onto the death eaters. It was the Order. Achilles got onto his horse and continued to kill all the death eaters. Soon, the dark side retreated, one by one slowly apparating.

Achilles quickly rode to Dumbledore, 'Rave and the others are still in Hogsmead. We have to get there quick!'

'Rave, look out!' Sammie shouted as a death eater advanced behind him, with a sword. Achilles, who was about 300 meters away from Hogsmead, took a spear and threw it towards the death eater. It hit him at his head, causing him to die immediately.

Achilles then motioned for Harry and the others to release their arrows. The arrows seared through the air and down onto the death eaters. They got off their horses and ran to Rave.

'Need any help?' Achilles smirked.

'67, 68, 69…' Achilles paused to kill the death eater.

'I always knew you would do such a thing. I already killed 67… 68…69…'

Soon, Harry and the rest joined them.

'How can you all be smiling at a time like this?' Harry shouted, killing another death eater.

'They're counting Harry, the number of death eaters they've killed each,' Sam shouted.

'I didn't think killing would be that fun!' Ron said.

Suddenly, the death eaters retreated.

'They retreated!'

'Something's not right…' Achilles felt the ground shake.

'Trolls!' Harry shouted as many start apparating onto the ground.

Many dark creatures start apparating onto the ground, Trolls, vampires, spiders and mammoths. The mammoths were carrying the death eaters on their backs, shooting arrows towards them.

'Ok guys, we have to make this quick. The order will be covering for us at the back, shooting arrows but it's up to us now. Oh and Rave,' Rave looked up, 'Your still on,' Achilles smirked.

Achilles rose from the ground and flew to the mammoth, landing steadily on its back.

'89…90…91…92…,' he counted as he killed the death eaters.

The mammoth shook violently. Achilles fell but managed to catch its tail. He swung to its hind legs and cut the rope that attached the carrier to the mammoth, causing the death eaters fall to the ground. He jumped on top of the mammoth and shot three arrows directly into its head. The animal immediately fell head down towards the ground. Achilles then slide down its trunk and landed safely.

Rave stared in disbelieve, 'That still only counts as one!'

The Jedis and the Maruders fought fiercely against the dark creatures, slaying them without mercy.

'Retreat! Retreat!' Bellatrix screamed.

'We're losing too many recruits. Let's retreat to the Dark Lord now. Our plan has succeeded anyway.'

Finally, the remaining dark creatures and death eaters retreated.

'We did it!! We defeated them! Achilles, we did it!' Harry said excitedly, jumping for joy.

'Yeah… we did it.'

'Achilles, what's wrong?' Briseis asked.

Achilles shook his head, 'Nothing. Come on, let's get back to the castle.'

They rode back to the castle while the Order helped the wounded in Diagon Alley. As they rode back, Achilles pondered on what he heard, which was what Lucius said, "Our plan has succeeded". He knew something was wrong but couldn't place it. They didn't seem too concerned with Harry and the attack was mostly dark creatures not death eaters.

He pieced the puzzles together and realized their mistake. He quickly pulled the restraints on his horse and stopped.

'Achilles?' Patroclus said.

'Did anyone see Snape during the attacks?' Achilles questioned them.

'Who cares about the bloody git?' Ron muttered.

'No… but why Achilles?' Harry said.

'Because… we just fell for a trap,' Achilles answered.

'What!' Rave exclaimed.

'Voldermort is after Snape. He knows Snape's a spy. Today's attacks, he only sent a few death eaters in the inner circle to make sure that they got Snape while the dark creatures diverted our attention. We were too busy fighting the creatures to notice Snape missing.'

'But, what does he want with Snape?' Neville asked.

Achilles looked at Harry and nodded. He had feared what was going to happen.

'The prophecy.'

'Shit…' They exclaimed.

'We should go back for him,' Patroclus said.

'I agree,' Sammie said.

'I want to come too.'

'No Harry… I can't let you go. It's too dangerous.'

'But Achilles…' Harry started to argue but Achilles pulled his brother towards him, leaning closer to his ear and whispered, 'I can't fight if I'm concern for you, stay in the castle.'

Achilles then rode with his Jedis into the night, towards his father's lair. Harry knew better than to follow them. He led the rest back to the castle to await for Dumbledore's arrival.
