Chapter 11
Angel murmured softly as she turned and twisted the cheats around her, she was sleeping as restless as he was, the cheats were tangled around his legs and sweat drop's glistened on the bare parts off his body. Both knew that something bad was going to happen but what they could not tell… something was moving in the distance planning their final strike.
"God" Angel screamed as she shot up pulling the cheats along with her making Snape tumble off the side and crash onto the cold hard floor.
"Angel"
"What" she yelled hysterical as she looked around her, she had no memory off the dream and yet she was scared beyond reason.
When he crawled back onto his bed, the door to his room flung open and Cryssy stumbled in. She looked just as hysterical as Angel and had searched the halls for her sister.
"Angel"
"Cryssy" she said as she looked at the doorpost, the girl was running towards her and flew in her arms the moment she hit the bed.
"What is wrong" Severus asked as he pulled Angel and Cryssy into a hug, both sisters were now crying but still had no idea why…
"I… I… don't know" Angel whispered as she held Cryssy against her "I was dreaming but I don't remember about what… I saw death and nothing but death that is all I can remember"
"Me too" Cryssy whimpered as Severus pulled them closer
"Whatever it was both off you felt it… It might have something to do with the Dark lord"
"I don't know Severus"
"Nor do I… but we to be on the safe side we should go to Dumbledore"
"Yes" Cryssy and Angel nodded as he helped them up and walked with them to the Gargoyle protection Dumbledore's office.
"Miss Dean, Miss La Velle I feared this yes… come in" Dumbledore muttered when the door swung open and he saw his young Potions Master help the two girls in.
"Professor"
"Yes my dear, I am afraid your dreams were a token."
"A token"
"Yes, I'm afraid Tonks just left to inform me that Voldemort is on the rise…"
"On the rise… where too?"
"That we do not know yet my dear Cryssy, however he seems confidant that he will get what he wants"
"Oh no…" Angel sighed as she fell back into Snape's hand… he is going to attack some one"
"Yes"
"But Professor can't we stop him"
"I do not think so Angel, for we have no idea where he is going."
"I could find out Headmaster"
"No Severus, we can not risk loosing you at this moment. You need to remain here until he calls you"
Snape nodded and let his eyes fall to the ground; this was not going to be an easy day. Because even he knew by the end off it something terrible was going to happen.
"Now my dear's, I suggest you go about your normal things and go to classes"
"But Professor" Angel muttered
"No Angel, we need to remain calm and act as if we know nothing. Even this school is not safe from his eyes anymore"
Angel looked up concerned, not safe from his eyes. Did he mean that Deatheaters were in this school? No Angel realized Deatheaters to be, children off them who chose Voldemorts side as well. She sighed, they would never find out who they were until they joined their master. Which if her feelings were right would not take long anymore?
"Now, now, you need to get dressed my children" Dumbledore smiled at all three off them, "Your class will start within the next hour."
"Yes Headmaster" Snape nodded as he squeezed Angel's shoulders and guided her out the room. "You should get dressed; I will meet you in Potions later"
"Yes Severus" She whispered as he cupped her chin in his hands and kissed her softly.
Sliding her hand in Cryssy she walked back up with the girl in silence both knew that this day would not end well and yet they had nothing to talk about, they were both still to shaken up to think off anything.
"Cryssy" A soft voice murmured as the portrait swing open.
"Harry?"
"Hmmh" He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her "I take it you had the dream to?"
"Yes" Angel nodded "though I wish I knew what it was about"
"I don't remember either" Harry sighed as he felt Cryssy tremble "Are you alright Cryssy?"
"No" She said honestly "no I am not, I am afraid"
"We all are Cryssy"
"I know" she muttered softly as Angel walked upstairs…
Muttering the charm to lower her wards Angel walked into her room and flopped on her bed sighing, she wished she remembered what the dream was about so she would have a clue as to what Voldemort was doing, her dark mark hurt a little and she rubbed it thoughtfully realizing that maybe the dream had been a break in rather than an actual dream. But she knew if he had been successful she would have remembered what it was about. Standing up she walked to the mirror examining her eyes, they were no longer blue but pitch black at the moment meaning that Voldemort had indeed tried something. She realized that her eyes would probably not change until this war was over and she was comfortable with that. Rubbing her eyes she opened the closet and pulled out something easy and changed into it. A tight fitting black jeans and silk black and silver top, it might not be the best for battle but she felt most comfortable in it and knew that when she had to fight she wanted to wear nothing else.

"Simple plan - One"
Walking down she met Cryssy and gave her a small hug before stepping out the Portrait and trotting to the Great hall for some breakfast.
"Morning"
"Morning Ron, Hermione"
Both her friends were looking at her and notissed her eyes "so its true you did feel something tonight like Harry" Hermione asked weary.
"Yes I did"
"And do you remember what it was?"
"No I do not Hermione… I wish I did but I don't"
"I am sorry"
"That's okay; I am just a bit edgy"
"So how was last night" Hermione asked trying to sound cheerful
"Oh it was amazing, thank you again for the dress it was so perfect" Angel smiled feeling her heart flutter, at least she had a beautiful memory she remembered now.
"Good" Hermione smiled to as the bell rang and they sprinted down to Transfiguration.
"Today Class, I would like to test who off you are capable off becoming an Animagi. I know that Miss Dean and Miss La Velle both are so if you would be so kind as to show us your form."
"Yes Professor" Angel smiled as she walked up front together with Cryssy.
Both nodded curtly before changing into their animal forms. The class gasped Cryssy had changed into a powerful black panther and Angel had transfigured into a White Wolf, her turning blue fiercely before falling into the blackness they held now. She howled to the class so sad that it sounded through out the halls and they heard a distant howl being returned. Minutes later two Professor's ran into the room panting, both Severus and Remus looked confused and upset but when they saw the two animals the sighed thankfully.
"Remus, Severus what is wrong" McGonagall asked confused.
"That howl sounded like one off mine"
Angel chuckled, it sounded more like a growl but she was laughing non the less. She knew her howl was more like a werewolf then a normal wolf but it was hers… jumping up and down she walked to Snape, her big paws making dull sounds on the ground. She was prancing, showing off her beauty when she walked around him and let out a soft approving howl.
"Who is this" Severus asked uncertain, he did not know Angel was a wolf…
Her eyes widened and she looked at Remus who was now laughing "can't you tell Severus"
"Apparently not"
She ruffed and walked back to Cryssy who was laying stretched on the floor watching Angel show off around Severus. Shrugging to Cryssy she sat down next to her and set her eyes on Severus once more.
"Try to guess Severus" Remus tried as he saw the anger in Snape's eyes.
"Wait where are Cryssy and Angel" he muttered as he scanned the class and then let his eyes fall on the pair off animals now huddled up together… "Angel"
Her black eyes looked up and turned blue as she nodded and showed her teeth trying to smile.
"You're a wolf"
She shook her head and walked up to him pushing him in a chair and laying her head on his lap making little sounds.
He petted her without thinking and looked at her, she was beautiful and powerful. He should have recognized her that very moment and yet the thought off her like this never crossed his mind.
"Well now Angel, Cryssy you can turn back" McGonagall said as she looked into the class, "I understand you have all read and learned the incantations"
"Yes Professor" the class said in unison.
"Well then you may try and change into an animal form"
As Angel changed back into her normal self the class was full off voices trying to say their charms.
"What do you think" she whispered as he looked at her.
"Amazing"
Smiling she stood up and faced the class nodding at Harry and Draco and encouraging Ron to go further.
"Well we must be going" Lupin smiled as he pulled Severus along with him.
"Yes indeed"
"Good day Minerva"
"Good day Remus, Severus"
Both men nodded before closing the door.
Angel squealed when Draco turned into a beautiful silver fox and Hermione into an eagle, soaring high above them as Draco bounced up and down and ran through the room. Ron had changed into beautiful Persian cat and Harry was a stunning black stallion like his patronus. The rest off the class were unable to change into animals but most were to busy admiring Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco to practice anything.
Smiling Angel walked out the class two hours later "you guys were amazing"
"Yeah" Harry laughed "I can't believe I am a Horse"
"Well actually I can" Hermione mused "You Patronus is so powerful it was almost certain you would become a stallion like your father"
"Yeah" Harry smiled "like dad"
"And what about Draco" he looked amazing too
"Very true" Hermione smiled, "I have never seen a silver fox before."
"Yes they are very rare"
Draco heard the conversation and smiled, waving when Angel looked at him.
"Stunning" she laughed as she waved back.
"I am a cat" Ron muttered he still could not believe he was an animagi.
"Yes" Cryssy smiled "a Persian, they are very loyal and caring"
He looked at her flabbergasted "so I am caring and loyal"
"We always new that Ron" Angel, Cryssy, Harry and Hermione said at once making them laugh as they walked outside for Herbology together.
It was right after lunch that Angel felt her arm burn and her head soar with pain, she looked at Cryssy who winced and grabbed her arm. Sinking through her knees she screamed "Noooooooooo" before throwing he head back and crashing to the ground.
Snape who had felt the pain to hurried to the great hall and saw both Cryssy and Angel on the floor, Angel was curled up in a ball with her head in her hands and Cryssy was grasping her arm and her head at the same time. Harry only meters further was rubbing his scar furiously and muttering that something was wrong. "Angel" he whispered when he sank down next to her "Angel what's wrong"
"Too late, attack has started"
"What attack" he asked when Dumbledore hurried in and crouched next to her.
Her eyes flew open and she crawled up running to the window when both she and Cryssy yelled at the same time "They are attacking the school."
Snape flew up together with Dumbledore and ran to the window; in the distance they saw the black robes and fierce red eyes approaching them. Dumbledore ran to his office in hope he could warn the order in time and just said goodbye when the first blast hit the school.
Angel was running after Snape who had gone to fetch to teachers but stopped dead in her track when she saw Cryssy approach her in Deatheater robes.
"Cryssy no"
"I must Angel"
"No you can't join him"
"I have no choice don't you get that"
"Cryssy you always have a choice"
"Step aside Angel, you will get my intentions soon enough"
Sobbing she tried to grab Cryssy but was pushed against a wall as the girl swooped by "Cryssy Please Noooo" she sank down defeated, how could her sister do this she always had a choice.
"Angel common, Cryssy will be alright"
"Severus"
"You need to get up and fight"
She looked at him and nodded "your right"
Clenching her fists she stood up hugged him gently one last time and walked towards her friends, they were huddled up together looking outside and even Draco was amongst them.
"You think he will come in"
"I don't know Malfoy" Harry said as he pressed a hand on the window "but I think so, no one off the order is here yet"
"They will come Harry, I already contacted them" Dumbledore said as he walked up to the group "for now we will have to fight them off"
"Yes Professor" They said together as they grabbed their wands and made a stand outside the great doors.
Angel's eyes flashed when she heard his shrill laughter echo around the grounds and she focused on the Deatheaters fast approaching them, their fight was about to start.
She ducked the first flashes as she yelled her own curses, aside her Harry was screaming "Expeliarmus" at some one and Hermione was leg locking several men at a time. Severus was screamed as he flew back and his wand was knocked out off his hand. Growling she walked towards him first shouting "Protego" and the "Accio wand" making Snape's wand hurtle towards her and giving it back to him. "Try not to loose it"
He looked at her surprised but saw the concern in her eyes and nodded "I'll do my best"
She ran when she saw Draco was under full attack and was barely in time to push him away, green sparks crashed against the castle walls as he crawled up and pulled him with her. From a distance she recognized Cryssy with Voldemort; she was not joining in the fight but staring to the battle before her. Her heart gave a jolt if she was not fighting that might mean she was not on his side, growling she felt a charms flash beside her and slash open her arm as Dumbledore ducked it and send his own curses.
It took her moments to realize she heard Snape scream in pain and when she saw him he was on the ground bleeding a deatheater with blond hair was halfway through his curse when she hit him head on.
"Avada…"
"Nooooo" she screamed as she hit him so hard his mask flew off, sinking to the ground she pulled Severus up in her arms and cradled him before looking up "You"
"Miss Dean" Lucius snarled as he pointed his wand to her "this will be your last time together"
"Never" She growled as she raised her hands, in the distance Draco was running up to them.
"No Angel, he is mine"
Lucius swirled around on his feet "you could never kill me Draco I am your father"
"That's where you're wrong" he screamed as he green sparks flew from his wand tip and hit Lucius square in the chest.
Surprised her grabbed his chest and sank to the ground lifeless as tear streamed from Draco's face "I am sorry"
"It's okay Draco" Angel cried as she held Snape
"How is he?"
"Alive" she turned her eyes down as she heard Voldemort laugh again. Looking up her eyes flashed red and she placed Severus back on the ground "stay with him"
"But"
"No Draco stay"
He nodded as she stood up and walked to the centre off the battle, her eyes now bloodshot and her hair flying about her.
The order had just apparated and were now fiercely in battle amongst the other teachers and students but all fighting stopped for a brief second when Angel walked up to Voldemort.
Dumbledore pulled Harry with him "go… do it now"
The boy nodded and followed Angel as she stopped right in front off her father "this ends now"
"What makes you so sure my daughter" he snarled as he raised his wand to her heart "you are all alone"
"She has me!" Cryssy screamed as she stepped up next to Angel and threw off her mask, grabbed her hand and collided her black mark with that off her own.
Both threw back their heads as their eyes became redder then before and entwining their other hands they were lifted up into the air saying a curse in one voice. "This will end, by the hands off Harry Potter, by the hands off your daughters. Your powers are ours, you strength is ours your faith will rest in our hearts. Amane Intue Forcx Lacraft"
He screamed as he felt his power leave his veins, a blue aura quivered around him for a few seconds before it was sucked into Angel and Cryssy, their eyes never leaving his.
"No you cant, you are my blood"
"And your blood is what will finish you" they spat as Harry raised his wand
Mustering his last bit off strength he shot a curse towards the boy and for a moment their wands collided. The red flair off Voldemort fighting the blue one off Harry, but soon the redness faded and Voldemort was thrown backwards when Angel and Cryssy sank back to the ground and stood up holding their marks together firmly.
With one last curse it was over, they heard a terrifying scream as they saw his soul being sucked out off his body. Muttering an incantation Angel and Cryssy caught it in a sphere off light and crushed it in their free hands so he could never return.
The war was over, Harry Potter had won and thankfully he lost non off his friends in the process.
