STORY:

Claire, a fifteen-year-old RavenClaur (AN, could someone please tell me if that's the correct spelling of it, thanks) ducked as a bolt of yellow light shot at her. She then rolled forwards to dodge another spell, and clambered to her feet. She was panting, and out of breath, but she didn't stop. She saw her best friend, Sarah, being cut across her stomach by a flash of red light, and hurried forward. With a wave of her wand she levitated the girl to the hospital wing.

In the hospital wing, Lily saw to Sarah, healing the cut, and giving her a strengthening potion. Sarah then insisted she was okay to go again, although she was still covered in her own blood. Lily scowled, but let her go as the hospital wing was getting full. She just hoped the other side has as many injuries.

A seventh year male Hufflepuff (AN, again with the spelling, so just the spellings of all houses please!) fell to the ground and showed no further signs of life. One of his mates stumbled over him backwards. He scrambled up quickly and moved on, not realizing the identity of the person he had fallen over.

Hermione ran forward, her wand at arms length. She shouted out a spell, and the death-eater it hit dropped the young girl he had been holding up with his wand. He then turned on Hermione, angry she had butted in on his fun. He laughed as she showed a hint of fear. Hermione shivered, but kept her wand out in front of her. She kept repeating in her head 'I'm not going to die, I am not going to die…' However, she knew there was little hope of anyone getting out alive. Hundreds of spells, hundreds of people, Dumbledore, Voldermort, James, Sirius, Ron, Harry…her life and her friends lives were just coming together; Harry had just got his parents back, they all had Sirius, the Potter's and Sirius were reunited…and this was going to ruin it. Even if she lived, one of them might die. Or all of them. A tear welled in her eye, but she didn't let it fall. Not even when the green light hurtled towards her did it fall. Not even when she felt it strike her square in the chest…no, not the spell…something else hit in the chest…

She tried to focus, and found someone had elbowed her out the way. It was Sirius. The Death eater now advanced on him, but as Sirius had saved her life, Hermione took out her wand and shakily managed to spit out the words to a simple yet effective spell. The Death eater stumbled backwards, covering his face, screaming. His hands started to burn, and flames took over his body. His face burnt, but didn't turn to ashes, although the rest of his body did. His face fell to the floor, still screaming and burning. It eventually just went poof with smoke and little stars…all that stuff.

Anna couldn't believe she had just sorted her life out and now this; she was fighting against death eaters for her life. She was going to die. She had just found her real parents (she was adopted), just made up with her sister, just got a new boyfriend who she cherished deeply, and now Voldermort was coming along and screwing it all up.

John bolted around, looking for his girlfriend, Anna. He saw a flash of green and he knew it must be her; who else had shocking green hair in Hogwarts? But the hair was too low…no, it was falling. By the time he reached her she was already on the floor. He felt for a pulse, but gave a loud cry when he couldn't find one. Rage took over him, and it became the fuel for his spells. Within the next five minutes he managed to knock to death eaters unconscious, and then turned onto another.

Claire tried to concentrate on the task at hand; hitting the bastard death eaters with all the force she had. However she found it hard, as she was thinking about how she might never get to see her new sister, who was born just one week ago. She had a different father to her, but she was still flesh and blood. Sides, she had come to call her step dad just plain dad.

Harry. Ron. Claire. Lily. Sirius. James. Dumbledore. John. Hermione. Anna. Sarah. The boy who was tripped over, and the boy who tripped over him. Many more.

With a click of a finger, each of these people could have died. Click. There goes the boy that tripped over. Click. There goes Anna. Click. This time a Death eater. Click. An unknown student.

The war brought this upon them. Voldermort brought upon them the war. His love for power and hate for muggles brought upon him the desire to go to war. He didn't think Dumbledore would fight back. But he had struck the core of the magical community fore miles. Click. Voldermort now stood just at the gates. He was quite far from the battle, and well hidden. Click. Voldermort was watching the black mass fighting for him slowly getting smaller, and retreating backwards. He stepped in. Click. With a flash of his wand he managed to slow things down. He raised his wand and parted the fighting people. With another wave, he froze them all. Literally. He was bored of it. Click. He watched as the spell which was fired just moments before bounced off the ice of the student, rebounded, and bounced of the death eater, back at the student. It carried on doing this, and Voldermort carried on watching.

'Listen up!' He yelled fiercely. The frozen people did indeed listen.

'I'm not going to kill innocent people…no, wait, I am! But, I'll be kind. I'm looking for a group of people in particular, so, I'll take them, and the rest can be locked inside the castle until I give orders for a death sentence. Does that sound okay?' He grinned evilly. He stared around, not noticing someone creeping up behind him.

'Well then, I'll just take the Potter's and their friends,'

The death eaters unfroze and began to take the specified ice statues.

'Where's the boy and his precious mummy?' Voldermort growled.

None of the death eaters answered.

'And what about Dumbledore? Oh, and Severus, I have some unfinished business with him!'

The death eaters left their collection of statues by the gate, and went searching through the battle fields.

Ginny Weasley fell to the floor as she felt the ice melt. She looked around at the rest of the collection; Harry and Lily were undoing the spell. Most of the order, including her brothers, fell to the floor.

Lily suddenly stopped in her tracks.

'Listen, you lot go back to the headquarters, or anywhere safe,' she whispered 'I'm going to find Dumbledore!'

James grabbed her arm. 'Last time I left you alone you died. I'm coming with you,'

Harry stepped forward 'Hey!' He cried 'I'm not staying here!'

'And if Harry goes, I go to!' Ron cried.

'I'm not being left out!' Hermione cried.

'Nor I!'

'And I would like to see Hogwarts again,' Fred said happily. George agreed. Soon, the whole bunch had said they were going to be included.

'No way! We'll get caught!' Lily cried.

'Hey, safety in numbers, right?' Ginny asked.

'Yes- but…'

Sirius started to bounce impatiently like a small child.

'Come on, I'm getting bored! I want to kick some death eater ass!'

'Sirius!' Lily growled. 'You should be on my side!'

'Listen, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and me have all faced the death eaters before. So has Sirius, you, and dad! No one here is incapable of looking after themselves!' Harry said.

'Okay, but listen; we'll split up, and meat in Dumbledore's office. They can't get in there without the password, which by the way is SugarPlum,' Lily muttered.

'Okay, well, Sirius, you, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins can come with me,' James said. The others sorted out their groups.

'This is still too big a group,' Lily muttered.

'Fine, listen, we'll be okay looking after the lil' ones,' George said, patting Ron on the head.

'Oh, okay! Be careful, all of you!' Sirius said.

Lily handed Harry a pocket watch. 'If any of you are injured or need help, turn the big hand on this clockwise twice, okay?' Harry nodded. Lily kissed his head lightly.

'See you inside,' Lily said.

'Stay out of trouble,' Sirius said to the twins 'If I know you, you'll do something stupid,'

'Wouldn't we have at their age?' James asked.

'Wait…where the hell is Remus?' Harry asked, looking around.

'He must be inside! We'll look for him!' James said and Sirius agreed. Lily nodded.

The groups set off, the twins leading Harry's.

'Com eon Lilykins,' Sirius said, grabbing her arm. James took hold of her other arm and the two best friends started skipping, dragging Lily behind them.

The younger group decided to use a simple charm to make them look like ice so they could blend in with the battle field. Whenever one death eater got close enough to see them, they would simply stay still holding their wands in a fighting position. None of them seemed to realize the statues they had taken aside were back in the battle field.

Once inside they found the charm no use, and there were still death eaters swarming the place, dragging the younger students who had stayed inside the castle aside. They beat them, and the younger ones couldn't stand up for themselves. It angered the group. It angered Lily's group too when they entered. Lily had already made up her mind. She sent the other two on to look for Remus, then she came out of the shadows.

Harry's group hadn't even stopped to think, as they charged, wands out, at the death eaters. Hermione found rage she never knew she had, and used it against her enemies. These…monsters were attacking innocent children, for fun!

Ginny, being the youngest of the group, was surprised by the damage she caused. But seeing her friends being beaten to near death, then tortured by an unforgivable curse…she had known some of the bodies that were scattered across the floor and the death eaters were going to pay for taking them away from her. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she fought for all she was worth. No one could have stopped her rampage, not even death itself.

The twins had stuck together, making their attack venomous. Their curses stung the hearts of their opponents, and none of them rose afterwards. However, the both issued screams equal to Ron's when they saw their own little sister fall to her expected death. Abandoning all else, her brothers dashed forwards, knocking over her killer by spells beyond normal power. Harry and Hermione saw the torment, as they too rushed to help.

However, the three boys who were now short of a sibling, showed unexpected power. Instead of falling to the ground bitterly weeping, they sprung into life, tears flowing freely. They shouted spells, curses, anything that sprung to their heads. The affect was seen immediately. Once they had chosen a target, they sprung, and that target was not seen to breath afterwards. Well aware they were killing people, they three stormed on. They may be killing people, but they were killing death eaters, and in their voice, no number of lives taken could account for the one lost that was their sisters.

Hermione and Harry gladly helped, while Lily bent over Ginny, checking for signs of life. A tear rolling down her cheek as she moved the teenager behind a statue to safety.

She stood up, and stepped once again into battle. They may get away with killing trained men and woman, but they would not get away with killing an innocent sixteen-year-old girl who had a beautiful life ahead of her. It was not one of the things that went down well with her. Charging forward, she killed the first death eater her wand fell upon. She was no better than the death eaters themselves, but she had not used any of the unforgivable curses. Of everyone fighting outside before or inside now, each had either killed or knocked unconscious at least one death eater. However, they were merely making the death eaters give back the lives they had taken, and the families they had destroyed. It was not enough to take back time and save the millions of people the death eaters had killed, villagers burnt or houses ripped apart, but it was a start, and a small price on their behalf.

When the chance came, the death eaters were bound tightly, so they could be passed onto the Dementors when the came back from Voldermorts grasp.

The castle was littered with bodies, yet more and more death eaters swarmed in. Outside, the war was once again raging, and Voldermort was getting angry. His death eaters couldn't perform even the simplest of jobs.

In one gigantic swoop, the war stopped. The death eaters, now outnumbered, retreated. The remaining students charged after them, all the way to the gate. This war might have ended, but the war was yet to end.

Lily watched the mass of students chase away the death eaters, and she turned to face the less than empty grounds heading up to the castle. She started to make her way back, when her shoe was splashed with a stick red substance. She pulled her foot out of the pool of blood, and frowned. Her shoe remained stained, just like her heart.

It wasn't just her heart, or her shoes.

Everyone living or dead was now stained with the blood of both enemies and friends.

Every single one of them.

Stained.
