Over a hundred thousand Death Eaters began to storm the grounds of Hogwarts, hurling the Dark Arts at the large contigent of Dark Agents in the middle. Behind the Dark Agents, stood Hogwarts, and on the battlements, rows and rows of Aurors and Phoenix members. To the East was the Forbidden Forest, and to the West was the other side fo the Forbidden Forest, and there, Coalition wizards were landing and dismounting their brommsticks quickly, and forming ranks. As soon as the Death Eaters started to march, so did the United Coalition. The Dark Order simply raised their wands and cast Shield Spells. Most of the Dark Curses from the Death Eaters bounced off the shield, but a few got through, namely Avada Kedavra and Anataga Atsuides.

Fear snarled and waved his wand, pointing at the marching Death Eaters. "KAMIKAZUS!" A purple and red mixed light soared out his wand and struck the ground at the first group of Death Eaters. Boom. The ground around the Death Eaters exploded in a shower of dirt, blood and body aparts, as Fear killed almost fifty Death Eaters with a single Curse.

Voldemort watched as the Bomb Curse killed fifty of his Death Eaters. He smirked, raised his wand, and pointed it at the entire group of Dark Agents. He opened his mouth and cried, "PLUSIUS AVADA KEDAVRA!" A black mist issued out his wand and engulfed the Dark Agents. All the Dark Agents breathed the mist in and instantly died. Fear looked insane with rage, and screamed out into the sky, pointing his wand skyward.

"ATRUM VESTIGIUM!" And out his wand came a shadow, but not just any shadow. It was a Mark. The true Dark Mark. The shadow floated gently into the sky, and unfolded. The Death Eaters gasped in wonder. For the shadowy shape was none other than a Black Phoenix, the Darkest creature in existence.

Pops, cracks, and whirls were promptly heard as Dark Order Agents Apparated or Portkeyed onto the grounds of Hogwarts. Death Eaters and Hogwarts, Aurors, and Phoenix members alike gaped as they saw the Dark Order agents defy the ancient wards of Hogwarts. When the ten-minute Apparation and Portkey journey ended, over three thousand Dark Order agents stood proud on the grounds of Hogwarts. Beside them, the United Coalition of Wizarding Armies formed ranks. And on the other side, Aurors, Phoenix members, and 7th years of Hogwarts. As one, they raised their wands. The Death Eaters formed ranks as well, and they too raised their wands. No one moved for about a minute, until Voldemort screamed, and at the same time talking to the creatures through a temporary mind-link, "ATTACK!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" roared the Death Eaters. Hundreds of thousands green jets of light hurtled through the air toward the opposing army. The Coalition, Dark Order, and Britain's remaining forces quickly scattered. Unfortunately, those who weren't quick enough died. The Coalition formed ranks and began to return fire almost immediately.

"AKERN!"

"POTENTIO MUTIPLO STUPEFY!"

"PEELSOTOG!"

"AQUA NERO!"

"ARACHNI SORTA!"

"BALLANO!"

"DRAKCIO!"

"STUPEFY!"

"DIFFINDO!"

"ELECTA MAXIMUS!"

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

"FOTIA POLI!"

"GIAHESEK!"

"KITTE AMASU!"

"LUGO!"

"OPLO!"

"RAGNOS!"

"VOXINOUS!"

"TRAXUS STUPEFY!"

"MUGANIS!"

"CAECUS!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"INCENDIO!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Hundreds of Light Arts, with a mix of Dark Arts exploded toward the Death Eaters. Many got hit, but many more blocked them and opened fire with more varied Curses.

Besides the Coalition, the Dark Order regained their bearings and opened fire on the Death Eaters, with Dark Arts and Black Arts in their arsenal.

"OXOSSO EXTEREBRO!"

"MERHERSAG!"

"NOVUS INCENDIO!"

"SYRE REGN!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"CRUCIO!"

"OCULAR REDUCTO!"

"AKERN!"

"KAMIKAZUS!"

"ABOLESCO!"

"UMBRA!"

"BYAKKO!"

"KARSADO!"

"IMPALITION!"

"IS SKULPTUR!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"MASTERAGMODIUM!"

"INFLAMERE PRAVI!"

While Britain's remaining forces opened fire with their own arsenal. And, leading them, showing himself for the first time in a year, was Harry James Potter. Fighting alongside him was Albus Dumbledore. Harry and Albus opened the first volley with two extremely powerful Curses.

"HAAKON!"

"ASHEN!"

One hundred and fifteen thousand volts of electricity shot toward the Death Eaters and hit them. A hundred and thirty five Death Eaters screamed in pain, but only for a moment as they died afterwards. Ten seconds after a hundred and thirty five Death Eaters died, four black spears of fire incinerated eighty Death Eaters. Britain's forces, watching this, cheered and opened fire.

"ARACHNI SORTA!"

"STUPEFY!"

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

"DIFFINDO!"

"AKAN!"

"BALLANO!"

"FOTIA POLI!"

"GIAHESEK!"

"STUPEFY!"

"REDUCTO!"

"EXPLODRA!"

"EXPLODORO!"

"EXPLODERENO!"

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

"POTENTIO MUTIPLUS STUPEFY!"

"TRAKUS STUPEFY!"

"OPLO!"

"LUGO!"

"RELASHIO!"

"STUPEFY MAXIMUS!"

"TRACKUS STUPEFY MAXIMUS!"

"EXPELLIARMUS MAXIMUS!"

"REDUCTO MAXIMUS!"

Two hundred and sixty Death Eaters were either killed, wounded, or near death by Britain's forces. Voldemort snarled, and turned his attention to them. He was further incensed by the appearance of Albus Dumbledore, and the blasted Boy-Who-Lived. He Disapparated with a deafening crack, and Apparaed with an equally deafening crack in front of Harry Potter.

"Well, well, Mister Potter. You have shown up at last. Are you ready to die?" hissed Voldemort. Potter's face twisted into one of pure loathing and fury. "I think it is you who is going to die tonight, Tom!"

Voldemort's black rage exploded out that, and he whipped his wand at Harry and cried,

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

A jet of green light screamed at Harry, and he quickly dove aside while yelling, "MORTUUS DORMIRE!" A huge wave of raw magic exploded out of Harry and sent Voldemort crashing to the ground, while it avoided the Coalition, Albus, Hogwarts, and the Dark Agents.

Voldemort got up to his feet and fired off a Cruciatus Curse at Harry. Harry sidestepped it and fired off a Cruciatus of his own. Voldemort was surprised, and didn't act quickly enough. White hot pain engulfed him, and Voldemort screamed, not in pain, but in anger. He pointed his wand at Harry and roared, "CAERIMONIA!" A dark blue light shot out of Voldemort's yew wand and almost struck Harry, but he dodged that one too. Unfortunately, as soon as Harry moved, the Cruciatus on Voldemort cancelled. Voldemort instantly fired off another Killing Curse at Harry, who dodged it. He twisted around, pointed his wand at Voldemort and yelled, "STUPEFY MAXIMUS!" A very bright, very large Stunning Beam roared out of Harry's wand. At the same time, Voldemort shouted out, "NYAX KREED!" A black and blue light roared out of Voldemort's wand. The two Spells met in the middle and connected, turning the beam between Voldemort and Harry a deep rich gold. Phoenix sound instantly began to sound around them, as Priori Incantetem occurred. The dome of gold webbings appeared, and beams of light appeared in the middle. Voldemort, remembering what happened last time, wrenched his wand loose and fired off a Killing Curse. Harry, surprised by the sudden turn of events, barely had enough time to duck under it. He rolled to the side and yelled,

"AMEMAIT DELETRIUS TOUT!" A pure white light screamed out of Harry's wand at high speeds and connected with a Death Eater, because Voldemort had ducked instantly, recognizing the Soul Art. The Death Eater froze in place and simply faded away, ceasing to exist. All memory of him from everyone's minds disappeared as well, except for Voldemort and Harry, Harry because he cast the spell, and Voldemort, because of the Dark Mark.

Voldemort looked at him in astonishment. "Well, well, Potter. Looks like you're very powerful. Well, lets see if you can handle this!"

With that, Voldemort stepped back and began to chant.

"AG NA SHIPALATE BA KAK GIMONONE CHRONOZON BINDUS TOTALIS!"

With a flash of dark red light, a 14 feet 4 inches tall, winged Demon appeared. Chronozon roared and charged toward Harry. Harry promptly screamed out, "JACINTH CHRYSPRASE!" A gold light shot out of Harry's wand and struck the Demon dead on. The Demon screamed in fury as it was sucked into Hell.

Voldemort and Harry resumed duelling positions, as the war around them raged on.
