All the Flowers Died
"10 hours left Harry." Ginny said, they were both pacing around the room.
"Is everyone still sleeping?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Ginny replied.
"At 8 hours we need everyone up and armed with portkeys, their wands, and the rainbow team needs their brooms." Harry explained.
"Hermione hates flying." Ginny said worriedly.
"She can do it." Harry said confidently.
"As long as you think that Harry." Hermione said from where she sat.
"I do." Harry agreed.
"We need to have everything ready for battle, by 5 hours." Harry said.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Then the rainbow team needs to make rounds checking for portkeys and then I need to make a speech to each team, west, east, south, north." Harry explained.
"Red is duelers and patronus conjurers?" Remus asked.
"Yep and your team is the duelers which are blue." Harry continued.
"And mine is green." Bill said referring to the patronus conjurers.
"Anyone need any sleep?" Harry asked referring to the rainbow team.
"None of us could Harry." Melly said from where she stood with Charlie.
"What team is Neville on?" Harry asked curiously.
"He's a yellow guy. He directs everyone to where they need to go inside the castle." Fred said from where he stood with George.
"Harry?" Hermione asked in a small voice.
"Ya Hermione?" Harry replied.
"What do we do if we see him?" She asked.
"You run and when you get somewhere safe you use the spell I'm about to cast to tell me." Harry explained.
"What spell?" Ron asked.
"Conniectus." Harry said.
"What does it do?" Ginny asked.
"Connects us so we can speak with each other." Albus said.
"Exactly." Harry said.
"Who will be connected?" Luna asked not her usually dreamy self.
"Health team, yellow team and rainbow team." Harry said.
"Are all members here right now?" Albus asked.
"Yep." Fleur said counting.
"Good, cast the charm Harry." Minerva instructed.
"Conniectus." Harry spelled around all people present.
'Harry?' Ron thought.
'Yes Ron?' Harry thought back.
'Who can hear me?' Ron thought again.
'Who are you addressing your thoughts to?' Harry asked.
'You.' Ron said.
'Then only me.' Harry explained
'Cool.' Ron thought.
'What's cool?' Ginny asked.
'You heard that?' Ron asked.
'Did you direct your thoughts?' Harry asked.
'No.' Ron said.
'That explains it.' Ginny said.
'Did it work?' Everyone in the room – minus Ron and Ginny – thought to Harry.
'Slow down guys.' Harry thought to everyone.
'I'll call you back here in 4 hours.' Harry said which would be at exactly 5 hours to go.
"Come on Remus" Tonks said grabbing her fiancée and unconsciously putting her free hand gently on her stomach.
"Where are we going love?" Remus asked as she dragged him into the entrance hall smiling as he saw where her hand was resting.
"The gardens, I love it there at night its so peaceful" she said a small smile gracing her features.
"Okay." Remus agreed following her carefully.
"I want to say our good-byes." Tonks explained as they sat down.
"You what?" Remus asked confused.
"Nothing like that but it's just if one of us doesn't make it I don't want us to not know what the other would have said to them." Tonks cried gently.
"Tonks both of us are going to make it." Remus told her – surprised that these thoughts had never crossed his mind.
"If you think so." Tonks said slowly silent tears still falling down her face.
"Listen this is worrying me. You have a child to protect as well maybe you shouldn't fight." Remus said as all these worrying thoughts crossed his mind.
"I have to fight, Remus!" Tonks argued.
"Why Tonks?" Remus asked.
"Because Harry is a 17-year-old kid, Remus. He has had to deal with so much in his life and he deserves every hand he can get to help him. And technically he'll be my godson as well once we get married. I already think of him as a real son you can expect me sit back and do nothing." Tonks argued.
"I didn't say do nothing I said you shouldn't fight. You can be on the yellow team and help Neville directing people." Remus explained gently taking both her hands.
"I don't know Remus I'm a rainbow member, you need all the people you can get." Tonks argued.
"Please hon. I can't worry about me, Harry, you and our child." Remus pleaded.
"Okay." Tonks agreed in a small voice.
"And Tonks?" Remus asked.
"Ya?" She replied.
"If anything happens to me know that I love you…and that I won't hate you for moving on." Remus told her.
"Same." Tonks replied.
"I love you." Remus smiled.
"I love you too." Tonks agreed leaned into his chest she inhaled deeply trying to remember anything from his scent to his smile.
"Charlie I love you, you know that?" Melly asked carefully.
"Yes. I love you too." Charlie agreed.
"You better." Melly said trying to lighten the mood.
"Melly I have to ask you something." Charlie spoke a couple minutes later.
"What is it?" Melly asked gently.
"I want you to move in with me." Charlie explained.
"But you know that my parents won't let me unless we're married…" Melly trailed off.
"Exactly. Please marry me?" Charlie asked getting down on one knee and holding out an open ring box.
"Oh my." Melly gasped looking at the ring. It was gorgeous the diamond was at least 3 karats and three 1 karat rubies (her birthstone) were on either side.
"Well?" Charlie smiled hopefully.
"Of course" Melly screamed throwing her arms around him and kissing him deeply.
"Here you go." Charlie smiled placing it on her finger.
'Everyone back to the room.' Harry thought to everyone connected.
'Okay Harry.' Hermione thought.
'Let's do this.' Remus thought to no one in particular.
'Scared Remus?' Albus thought to him.
'No.' Remus said almost forgetting that people could hear his thoughts.
'Where's Tonks?' Harry thought to everyone.
'Wotcher Harry.' Tonks thought to him.
"Is everyone here?" Harry asked outloud.
"Charlie and Melly are still missing." Fred said.
'Charlie! Melly!' Harry thought controllingly.
'Coming Harry.' Melly thought back.
"Here we are." Charlie announced as they slid into the room.
"Thanks you guys." Harry said looking at Charlie knowingly.
"We need to split into 4 groups. Mrs.Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Melly and Fleur go check on the people in the east. Mr.Weasley, Ginny, Bill, Fleur and Tonks go check on the west." Harry stated.
"Tonks isn't going anywhere." Remus said.
"What?" Mr.Weasley asked.
"I'm staying to help Neville, and the infirmary. I'm pregnant I have to protect the child." Tonks explained.
"Good idea." Harry agreed.
"Minerva you go in her place. Remus, Severus, Lee, Charlie and Katie can go check on the south. Myself, Alicia, Angelina and Albus will go check the north. Then I will go to the top of the astronomy tower to make the speech, from then on it's strictly battle." Harry said.
"Harry when more people come to help fight where do I assign them?" Neville asked.
"Start with one in the north, then east, west, south then go back to north and repeat." Harry explained.
"What color should I put them?" Neville asked.
"Depends on what they can do." Harry finished.
"Let's do this." Ginny said.
"I'm with her." Fred agreed but he knew that this was anything but a joke as he and George took off out the window on their brooms to plant the holograms and swamps.
"Teams, fly!" Harry shouted and everyone took of out the windows.
'Harry!' Ginny thought.
'Ya?' Harry thought back.
'I love you.' Ginny replied.
'I love you too.' Harry agreed and he dove towards the people of the south.
'Make sure everyone has their portkeys and are prepared.' Harry though to the whole rainbow team.
'Okay Harry.' The group replied as one, they all trusted Harry completely and Harry just wished that was a good idea.
"Sonorus." Harry whispered as he pointed his wand at his throat.
"Everyone listen up." Harry said.
Everyone snapped his or her attention towards him.
"If anyone of you get hurt please activate your portkey. If you cannot reach your portkey for any reason send up green sparks and a member of the rainbow team will locate you. If you see anyone too injured to send their own sparks send up red sparks and someone will locate them. If Lord Voldemort captures you it is your choice what to do. They will try and force information out of you, most of you don't know anything and those of you who do can be trusted not to spare any information. People you are fighting for your kind here and what you do will not be forgotten. Purple sparks are to be sent up if you see lord Voldemort. No one is to attempt to fight him, no one." Harry said finding Ginny in the crowd and looking at her carefully. "I want you to do your best and try your hardest that is all I or anyone else can ask."
Applause could be heard around the castle as Harry finished his speech.
"You have 3 hours to remain on your toes and whatever you do don't fall asleep! The first person down will be a reminder to those of you still alive. It will tell you what you have to fight for." Harry said casting quietus on his throat he hopped onto his broom and flew down to Ginny.
"Harry that was amazing." Ginny said.
"Thanks." Harry said.
"Be careful out there." Ginny warned.
"You too." Harry cautioned.
"I love you." Ginny offered.
"I love you too." Harry said, "If I don't…"
"Don't talk like that." Ginny said angrily.
"I need to say this." Harry pleaded.
"No." Ginny said.
"If you get hurt please go in." Harry said.
"Fine. No acts of the hero in you." Ginny warned.
"Promise." Harry said crossing his fingers behind his back.
'Anti apparition jinx?' Harry though to Albus.
'Good idea.' Albus though back.
'Anti apparition jinxes.' Harry told everyone threw the connection.
'Not on us.' Bill said apparating right next to him.
'Put them on them.' Harry thought.
'Got you Harry.' Ron said.
"Fight!" Harry called to the south pointing towards the large numbers of deatheaters coming their way.
Harry flew down to the large numbers of death eaters and stunned three in quick succession tying them together he charmed them to fly towards the doors of the castle.
"Harry watch out!" Someone called and Harry flew sideways out of the way of a deatheater's stunner he threw a body binding spell at him but it missed and he got caught up in a full duel with the death eater. Curious to know who it was he flicked his wand and nearly fell off his broom when he saw Severus Snape. Harry looked at him questioningly and then threw a stunner at him, Severus faked a shield and let the stunner hit him. Harry threw some loose ropes around him and flew him back to the castle.
'Tonks!' Harry said threw the connection.
'Here Harry!' Tonks called.
'Open the door.' Harry urged.
The door flew open Harry flew in and placed Severus with the injured and captured deatheaters.
"Should he stay there?" Tonks asked.
"Yes." Harry said.
"Okay." Tonks agreed and Harry took off flying through the castle and he came out above the astronomy tower.
'It's not good Albus.' Harry said looking over the battlefield to see many people with sparks floating above their heads some red, some green and thankfully no purple.
'What do you mean?' Albus thought back.
'Lot's of injured.' Harry explained.
'How many captured deatheaters?' Albus thought.
'28.' Harry said.
'Okay.' Albus said.
'I'm flying to collect some injured.' Harry said shaking himself to the present he flew down and went to the green sparked people healing those he could with a weak spell and flying others back to the castle. Then he took one look at a man with red sparks above him and realized who it was.
'Lee!' Harry thought.
No reply.
Harry bent down next to him and felt for a pulse there was nothing. Looking to a lady next to the man with red sparks above her also he almost had to look away with revoltion at the state her mangled body was in then realizing it was Katie and knowing she was dead he turned away and threw up.
'Harry what is it?' Ginny asked through their thoughts.
'Katie and Lee.' Harry said.
'Dead?' She thought sadly.
'Ya.' Harry thought and whipped around at the sound of laughter.
"That was what my cutting curse did." Bellatrix Lestrange said maliciously.
"Stay away from me you whore." Harry yelled turning to her.
"Language baby Potter." Bellatrix scolded.
"You killed him." Harry said.
"That I did." Bellatrix agreed.
"And now you have to die." Harry said pointing his wand at her he yelled, "Avada…"
"Crucio." Bellatrix yelled.
"Ah!" Harry yelled writhing with pain.
"Stay away from him." Ginny spat flying down beside them.
"Who the hell are you?" Bellatrix asked.
"Your worst nightmare." Ginny threw the cutting curse at her and it hit her across the chest.
"Bitch!" Bellatrix yelled hitting the ground with a resounding thud.
"I killed her…" Ginny said.
"Ginny you saved my life." Harry said.
"I killed someone." Ginny said. It was then that they both saw it purple sparks by the entrance to the grounds.
"Go inside." Harry said.
"No." Ginny said.
"Now." Harry said throwing green sparks above her head he took of on his broom and headed toward the sparks.
