Hey, I know some of you probably won't like this chapter, but I can assure you that Dumbledore's not really gone until I say so, but the Wizarding World doesn't know that, huh? Well, Go on and read if you want.

Chapter 11-A Death of A Great Wizard

Harry loved Professor Weasley's class, and always looked forward to her class, but Ron dreaded it, because he was afraid that his Mum would scold him sometime. One day, Harry and his friends were on his way to Professor Weasley's classroom, when Professor McGonagall came down the stairs, and she said, "Potter, I have been looking for you. Dumbledore wants you to come to his office right now."

Harry said, "What about class?"

McGonagall said, "Don't worry. I have already spoken to Professor Weasley."

Harry told Hermione and Ron that he would meet them up at Gryffindor tower later.

He followed Professor McGonagall up to Dumbledore's office.

McGonagall rapped on the door, and Dumbledore said, "Come in." Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, stroking Fawkes, his pet phoenix, and to Harry's surprise, Professor Flitwick was in the office, too.

Dumbledore said, "Now, have a seat, Harry."

Harry sat down right across from Dumbledore, and Professors McGonagall and Flitwick did the same.

Dumbledore said, "Now, we need to talk about Occlumency. Remember, I told you last year, that it was a mistake to have Professor Snape teach you. This year, I'll teach you Occlumency, but I'll have to be away frequently to meet with the new Minister, or go on business for the Order. Whenever I'm away, I'm having Professor McGonagall teach you Occlumency in my place. If she's away, too, Professor Flitwick will teach you, then."

Harry was surprised and said, "You mean all the Head of Houses are Occlumens and Legilimens?"

Flitwick turned to Harry and said, "Yes, that's right."

Dumbledore said, "Also, two more things. You're going to have private tutoring with Professor McGonagall on Auror training. She has agreed to coach you on Auror training and all the advanced Transfiguration spells. Secondly, Harry, being an Auror would mean you have to learn advanced charms and how to do countercurses. I'm having Professor Flitwick coach you on advanced charm spells."

Harry looked at Flitwick, and Flitwick said, "I'll be sure to teach you some steps!"

Just then, the door banged open, and Snape came in.

Snape said, "Headmaster, I'm afraid there's an emergency. I was just outside, when I saw some Deatheaters and the Dark Lord heading our way."

McGonagall gasped and said, "What will we do, Albus?"

Dumbledore rose from his seat and said, "Filius, you go help Professor Sprout evacuate the students. Severus, you come with me. Minerva, go take Harry back to his dormitory room."

McGonagall said, "Don't even think of going out yourself. If you go down, then I'll go down with you!"

Dumbledore said, "No, it's too dangerous for you, Minerva."

Professor McGonagall said, "I'm coming whether you like it or not."

Snape said, "Yes, but what about Potter?"

Dumbledore sighed and said, "I guess he'll have to come with us. He has to learn how to defeat Lord Voldemort."

McGonagall said, "Are you crazy, Albus?"

Dumbledore said, "No."

Snape led Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Harry outside to Hagrid's cabin. Dumbledore rushed to Hagrid's cabin, and knocked on Hagrid's door.

Harry could hear Fang barking, and Hagrid opened the door.

Hagrid said, "Why, Professor Dumbledore, 'hat can I do for you?"

Dumbledore said, "I need you to go to the castle, and help Professors Sprout and Flitwick evacuate the castle. Also, we'll need Madam Pomfrey out here, just in case someone gets hurt. Send me Professors Sinistra and Vector, and whoever else to help us."

Hagrid said, "Yes, sir." He left to go to the castle.

Snape said, "Headmaster, what do you want me to do? I mean, the Dark Lord will think I have turned traitor on him if he sees me fight on your side."

Professor McGonagall sighed, and said, "Severus, I guess it's time for Lord Voldemort to find out whose side you are on!"

Harry noted Professor McGonagall had just mentioned Voldemort's name.

Just then, Madam Pomfrey, Professors Sinistra and Vector, and to Harry's surprise, Mrs. Weasley and Professor Trelawney came out of the castle.

Dumbledore said, "Sybill, what are you doing out here?"

Trelawney said, "I'm here to join the battle!"

Just then, there was a cackling female voice, and the voice said, "So nice to see Hogwarts again!"

Harry recognized the voice as Bellatrix Lestrange.

Bellatrix Lestrange stepped out of the shadows, along with some unknown Deatheaters, which Harry suspected Voldemort had recruited. Wormtail was trembling right beside Bellatrix. Bellatrix said, "You blithering idiot! What's wrong with you?"

She hit Wormtail, and Wormtail crawled away to another place.

Bellatrix turned to Dumbledore, and said, "Well, if it isn't Professor Dumbledore, and I see you have Professor McGonagall with you here."

She turned to Snape, and said, "Severus, wait until the Dark Lord finds out about you."

Just then, Voldemort's voice said, "Step out of the way, Bella."

Voldemort faced Dumbledore and said, "So this is your puny army, and Minerva, you think you can fight along with Dumbledore, and who will be the next Headmaster of Hogwarts if you two go down?"

Professor McGonagall said, "Well, I'm going down with Dumbledore. You'll have to get through us."

Voldemort said, "I look forward to seeing how you duel."

Voldemort started dueling with Dumbledore, while McGonagall started dueling with Bellatrix. Harry saw that McGonagall wasn't that bad at dueling. Snape was telling the others what to do.

Harry was trying to fend off Deatheaters, who were coming in on Dumbledore and McGonagall.

Wormtail scampered over in front of Harry and said, "Well, CRUCIO!"

Harry dodged the Cruciatus Curse, and it hit the wall behind him. Professor McGonagall was sending red sparks out of her wand toward Bellatrix. But Bellatrix had dodged her spells, then McGonagall said a spell, and Bellatrix's robe got on fire.

Voldemort was dueling with Dumbledore, and suddenly Harry saw a flash of green light, and saw Dumbledore falling.

"NO!" McGonagall saw Harry rush toward Voldemort, and rushed in front of Harry, and

Voldemort said, "I'll have the pleasure of killing you both, then." He took out his wand, and sent a green flash of spark, but before Harry knew it, Wormtail had jumped in front of Harry and Professor McGonagall. The spell hit Wormtail, and Wormtail fell dead.

Voldemort said, "You'll pay for that, Potter!"

Professor McGonagall then took her wand out, and was about to send sparks at Voldemort, but Voldemort had disappeared along with his Deatheaters.

Harry rushed to Dumbledore, and saw that he was not breathing or moving. He began crying.

Professor McGonagall came over, and said, "How's Dumbledore?"

Harry sobbed, "He's d-d-dead!"

McGonagall gasped, and she began crying, too. She sat down with Harry, and they sat watching Dumbledore's body, hoping for a sign of life.
