Shitza: Hi again, I am back with a new chapter. Have to say it took me a while to get some ideas, it almost feels like I've used all my ideas all the way out. But as it's nearing Christmas in this, I've been thinking of some more harder things for them, and once more ideas are building up. Sigh… I must be crazy writing this much, on this story.

And this story was completed long before I thought it would, but I had a lucky eve filled wit ideas. Happens rarely, just so you know or else this chapter wouldn't have been finished until after this weekend.

Tári: Disclaimer: Shitza completely forgot to remind me, yet the songs on last chapter aren't hers and neither is most things in the last chapter. She don't own much, not the legend, the songs, the Lucia… the…

Shitza: Okay, last chapter was a wreck, so hopefully I can repay it this time.

Chapter 32 The Black Snow

Two days had gone since the beautiful Lucia eve and two days Ron had gone of to bed, either enraged or just exhausted. The truth was that ever since Ginny had become Hogwarts second Lucia dozens of boys had started to ask her out. Most of these boys however were in Ron's eyes not trustable and he wouldn't even let them look at her. The boys knew this, so they tried to catch her attention every time she passed them, when her brother was of in class.

Ron felt as her only brother at Hogwarts it was his duty to protect her from these freaks. Ginny didn't mind though, the ones she didn't like she sent away. Ron didn't like any of them, being an angry lion by her side.

Neither did Cassandra like this, her boyfriends mind always was thinking of his little sister and that he didn't pay any attention in class anymore. Hermione followed Cassandra's point of view, she wanted them all to study.

It was only Harry, Blaze and Neville who tried to defend their friend. Draco hadn't chosen side in this discussion so he was left out laughing mentally as Cassandra levitated a shocked Harry and Blaze as high as to the north tower before dropping them both into the lake. Neville, the little fortune-teller, had countered the spell, but a second afterwards he was thrown out by a wave of water, through the open door, washed away down a staircase to the fifth floor. Soaked he murmured something which sounded very much like the future. Two minutes later indeed everyone on the fifth, sixth and seventh floor could hear Hermione's scream as a angry raven, which had arrived through the owlery, chased her around the floor. Yet if this just happened to be something that was destined to happen, or Neville's weird humour no one did know.

Harry had answered back on Cassandra's attack with a strong whirlwind in her bed. He had taken his broom and flown of to the open window to the Girls' dormitory in the Ravenclaw Tower. He had hidden the whirlwind well, not even making the closed curtains flutter. Not until Cassandra, dressed in a satin sky-blue nightgown withdrew the curtains just to be blown of backwards out the window. When the wind finally ceased, she was five metres above the lake.

Also Blaze had his revenge. He spent a whole day out of class, following her pranking her every step. Minutes before lunch she locked herself inside the Ravenclaw tower believing she could be left alone, but she soon discovered someone had slipped the password to the prankster and so when the night finally came, she was drenched in various slimy objects, ten kinds of feathers and a bucket of rotten eggs. Blaze had thankfully been sent for Detention, meaning he would have to once more scrub the school with a toothpick. He hated that, but it wasn't his fault Professor McGonagall had decided to be the first one to test his Stink Ink. It had made all the Second year Hufflepuffs' homework smell of garbage.

Ginny found this really funny, everyone was now in a huge fight, and soon they would forget what had started it all.

Giggling she walked of at the other direction, as a moment later, Ron was blown through a door. He landed on the floor and sent a curse back on Hermione, the attacker. Hermione ducked the curse, which hit a statue behind her. She sent another curse at Ron.

Ron ducked and sent fire on Hermione, which was a bad thing to do as Hermione drenched him with a wave of water.

To her misfortune she hadn't seen Neville, who had turned up from a corner and with his own powers of earth he drenched her powers in an illusion of wood. Indeed he widened a whole down to the dungeon to let the water away, but also he trapped Hermione in an illusion of a beautiful forest to lead her thought s away from Ron. It did work, that until she finally woke up and sent an Ice charm on him. Neville dodged and so the battle was on.

The noticeable thing was that none of the teachers seemed to bother, because once the heirs had done what they had intended to do they at least cleaned up after themselves and they never attacked someone else then themselves. Once a First year had walked through their fight, and they had waited for him to pass until they continued. The only thing people really did complain about was the noise.

So this continued for days and the more the fought the more they trained, that was all the teachers' opinion. Professor Wing often came around and encouraged them. They behaved like pups who had started to learn the wildlife.

People often shook their heads, until one day the whole castle was quiet. People started to wonder what had happened, until they heard an explosion outside. Everyone looked out through the windows, the snow lay thick on the Hogwarts grounds, except for one spot where the five heirs and Hermione lay, around what looked like a huge hole on the snow. Even the teachers looked worried as the heirs didn't move.

Blaze yet heard something from them, so he used a spell to be able to hear what they said. The result shocked him.

"That was the best fight ever!" Cassandra said.

"Really intriguing!" Hermione said giggling.

Cassandra too started to giggle.

"Would you too shut up, I think I've got a headache!" Ron snapped. This made the two girls giggle even louder.

"For god's sake Gryffindor, if you can't handle a explosion like that, what are you then going to do when Voldie blows up the whole field, after that we've defeated him." Draco said.

"Exactly!" Harry said. "I must say your idea of a outdoor fight was incredible brilliant Neville."

"Thank you" Neville said.

"Long since I had this much fun" Draco said. Just to receive a snowball on his face.

And so, instead of a powerful magic fight, like kids, the six teens started a snowball fight, which included a lot of cheating. Blaze and the other student stared at them in disbelief. That until the teachers showed everyone inside again.

Outside the snowball fight continued and it was even worse then it had been inside. The six friends took every opportunity to drench each other in the white powder they stood in. Even Draco laughed, which was rare to see since he very rarely relaxed enough to become this childish. Indeed just before the battle would have the most sorrowful end, he created a ravine of wet snow over both Ron and Neville. Ron burnt his way up again, having received snow in his mouth.

It was then it came, it was then it happened. Like a shadow over their minds, driving them to fear. The snow turned black, a bad omen. Very bad omen because as they had been having fun something had happened. In the darkening sky a small flying objects hurried as fast as its wings bore him. Completely exhausted Pigwidgeon dropped straight down into his master's arms, a back envelope tied to his leg.

Ron pulled up the seal, which to everyone's amazement turned out to be the Dark Mark. He flipped up the letter inside and as he read his face whitened making him look as pale as a ghost. He dropped the letter and fell down on his knees, tears streaming down.

Draco managed to snatch the letter and he too read. His face split into a horrible mask of hate. "How dare he even…?"

"Let's take him to Hagrid!" Hermione said. She and Cassandra carefully took him back on his legs and slowly they made their way towards the cabin. AS they arrived the door swung open and fang ran out welcoming them. Yet the animal could feel as no one responded something was wrong, so he returned inside again.

The cabin was like it always had been and the half giant looked down at them.

"Hello again, long time since you last visited me!" he said.

"Sorry Hagrid, but I guess you've heard about the fight in the castle, sorry we didn't visit, but we had some things to discuss with each other." Harry explained.

"Hagrid, you wouldn't perhaps be able to make us some tea, something strange happened to Ron while we were outside and I don't think he feels so well." Neville said as Hermione and Cassandra helped him into the couch.

"Sure" Hagrid said. "What happened to the lad?" he asked.

Draco sighed. "His home and his family has been completely destroyed. This letter arrived telling him that if he wanted to see the rest of his family alive again he would have to surrender his heirloom to Voldemort."

"Can he really do that?" Hermione asked.

"It is possible, but also dangerous. I had an aunt who did it, she died a month afterwards. She had inherited a voice of her grandmother that made her sound like a banshee whenever she opened her mouth. At least she died happily."

Harry took the letter out of Draco's hand and read…

To Mr Ronald Weasley

You should be happy to know that we have taken care of all your problems with that falling house of yours, it's been swiftly removed to the burning fires of hell. At the moment your parents and brothers are staying over at our place and if you do want to see them soon, just give in your powers to my lord and we will be most happy to give you an excuse to see them.

Sincerely

Donald Mc Boot, the Dark Lord's secretary

Harry gave the parchment to Cassandra to read, then Hermione snatched it, after that the Ravenclaw had fainted. The Neville read it crumbling it up and tossing it into the flames. Harry felt the blood in his veins boil.

"So, what are you going to do?" Hermione asked Ron. Ron sighed and thought for a moment.

"Please don't just say it…" Draco said thinking the worse.

Neville sighed and drank from the tea Hagrid gave them. The giant's hands shook as he handed Ron his cup.

"…Voldemort will pay for this."

Draco sighed in relief. "For a moment I thought you had given in Ron" he said, sounding to his own amazement, concerned.

"I'm going to take my family back, never ever will that bastard take my powers from me. No way! I will make him crawl in his own blood, he's gonna repay for this."

Ron's eyes were red of anger and hate, he even looked worse then Draco had done when he had read the letter. All of them now had a burning desire and aim to kill Voldemort. Draco to revenge his father, Neville to make him and his Death eaters repay for what they had done towards him and his parents. Hermione to teach that freak a lesson once and for all, He had called her not even worthy. He would see about that. Cassandra still had her memories haunting her about her parents and brother, plus Rosengard. Harry had the biggest burden as so many deaths had been caused because of him and his birth. He had the weight of two prophecies on his shoulders.

Hagrid looked at the six determined faces and smiled. Dumbledore had been right to think they would be the perfect ones for this hard task. The determination couldn't be described in words, yet it was intense and it lay as a thick fog over them.

As the heirs left, Hagrid watched them go. Then he took his cloak and followed after. Yet he didn't follow them up the stairs, instead he stopped outside the Headmaster's Office.

'Albus, you clever old man. You were so right about them all this time…'

Tonks went to her Office like usual, yet things were different. The Order of Phoenix members had been forbidden to come back, but she hadn't listened, she needed to come back. They had a spy at the Ministry's, her best friend Amanda Moon (not related to the Moon's in the Original story). Amanda had been giving the Order useful information on happenings around. Yet as Tonks walked the familiar corridors she didn't spot Amanda anywhere, there wasn't even a trace after a soul. Where were everyone?

She walked down floor after floor yet still there was no one in sight. She hurried down to the bottom Floor were Fudge and the higher workers had their Offices. Carefully she opened the door to his Office, like she had expected it was empty.

'Maybe I could sneak around a bit, see if he has any secrets in store.'

She walked over to the desk and opened a drawer. Inside laid a bunch of papers, most of them were reports but then one paper caught her eyes. It had been a letter or it looked like a letter.

Even if someone had obviously try to curse the words of it didn't seem as if those curses had taken effect. The letter was clearly burnt being all black of soot. But the message shined through.

Dear Minister

I hope you received my last letter in order to vanquish all of these half bloods from this world. I mean in out our blood there shouldn't be this mud. Purebloods are and have always been the leading blood. This is a list of creatures that should be destroyed.

Unicorns, Trolls, Giants, Veelas, Kappas, Boggarts, Snidgets, Werewolves, Vampires…

'Poor Moony, better warn him about this.' Tonks thought as she continued to read.

…Muggles, Half Blood freaks, Fairies, Elves (all kinds), Basilisks, Mermen, Mermaids, Dragons, Ghosts, Ghouls…

Tonks shook her head. That woman had to be crazy. It was all obvious who had done this.

…Grindylows, Red Caps, Poltergeists, Gryphons, Flobberworms, Fire Salamanders, NIFFLERS, Metamorphous…

Tonks stared at the parchment, she couldn't believe her eyes. What did that woman have against people like her?

…KENTAURS, Hippogriffs, Leprechauns, Dementors…

Tonks folded the parchment and placed it back. This was serious, indeed Fudge and Umbridge was planning on destroying the world.

She was about to leave, but the door wouldn't open. Panicking she tried to do magic, but nothing worked, nothing opened the door.

She was about to hide when she heard an explosion coming from above and before she knew it the roof fell over her. She quickly cast one of the Protective Shields she had learnt while Auror training. It did help, it shielded most of it, but she still received a gash on her arm. Yet it was a minor injury of what that could have happened.

Above she heard cheers and unable to move outside the shield she had created she hoped someone would come and help her. Above someone was celebrating, not sounding like her own kind, more they had to be Muggles.

She waited in hours, until finally someone above seemed to remove everything from above. It was obvious who it was, Moody and Kingsley. She sighed of relief as soon a hole, big enough for her to climb up through, was revealed.

The Order members hurried out of sight, fleeing towards the new headquarters.

Yet some Muggles watched them anxiously from their windows and as the turned on their radios and TV's they heard the same thing. It is war! It is war! We will crush these things because it is war and we will that war!

"My Lord, when are we going to make our draw?" A Death eater asked.

"The stars are veiled, our night grows cold, the hope despairs, and the light goes out. Soon… soon…"

To Reviewers:

Draco's Wife Lover: Hope you received you e-mail reply. Thanks for reading, even if this chapter too turned out short, but I'll save more until next time. Thanks for reviewing and thanks for the mail.

Gary: Could you please give me your mail then, I mean I would be so happy to have contact with you again. And also thanks for the long review, it took me a while though to put everything together, it was a bit confusing first time I read through.

Yet that was this morning, around six.

Anyway, just so you know, can't have credit for all the translation, most of it I saw on the Internet yet very much is mine own. Yet I am not that good in such translations and those texts were to print out the melodies, yet the songs aren't mine. Never have been.

End Notes: Hope you liked this chapter, I'm more content with this then the last, but that's just my opinion. Once more it is time for me to update my other stories, so until then… REVIEW!!!!!

Big surprise, nah
