Chapter 14
Ginny's eyes widened in horror, "Where is the rest of the gang?"
"Headed towards their first class of the day."
"Well what's their first class!"
Bridget shook her head, "I have no idea."
Over the entire castle was a voice echoing, the voice was Professor Dumbledore. "All students are ordered to head to their house common room immediately. Prefects, Head Boy, and Girl are to report to the Prefect Lounge. Teachers are to also report to the Prefect Lounge. Again, all students to your house common room. Head Boy, Girl, and Prefect to report to the Prefect Lounge. Teachers are to also report to the Prefect Lounge."
Bridget and Ginny turned to one another and both girls had tears in their eyes. This could be the last moment that they ever saw one another alive. Bridget and Ginny hugged tightly and were silently crying, "I love you Bridget."
"I love you too Ginny, send my love to the others too."
Ginny pulled back from her best friend and nodded, "You help the other seventh years that have been put in the position to calm down the common room in case this kind of thing would happen."
"Who's in charge?"
"Lavender Brown, Pavarti Patil, Seamus Finnigan, and Dean Thomas."
Ginny began to run towards the prefect lounge and Bridget found a few Gryffindor first years in a corner crying. Bridget recognized them.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"The staircase confused us and now we don't know where we are at," the little girl that Bridget recognized as Aurora Smith.
"Come on you guys, we've got to get to the Common Room. Death Eaters are on their way to the castle and they don't have the password to Gryffindor, so we've got to get moving now."
"Okay," sniffled the other little girl, Chelsea Gonzales.
"I want you girls to follow me, but make sure you have your wands out. You do know the total body bind curse and the stupefy curse too right?"
Both girls nodded, "Alright." Bridget went on, "I want the two of you to follow behind me, but stay as close to me as you can. If you see anyone in black robes with their hood drawn, a mask over their face, and their wand out; yell out the spells that we just went over got it?"
"Yeah," Aurora nodded.
"Got it," Chelsea sniffled.
Bridget was relieved to get the two girls back to Gryffindor Common Room before any Death Eaters had made it up to the castle. On Bridget's way to the Gryffindor Common Room however, she did find other younger students that had gotten so upset that they hadn't hardly moved at all. Bridget helped the other five students that she'd found up to Gryffindor Common Room.
"Bridget!" Came a voice from behind the young girl and she spun around to see Seamus Finnigan behind her.
"What took you so long? Where did you find all these kids?"
"I kept finding scared younger kids and I couldn't leave them out there, why what's going on?"
"I ran into Ginny on my way up to the Common Room and she said you were going to help the rest of us Seventh years keep the younger kids in line."
"Of course," Bridget nodded. "I might not be Head Girl or a Prefect but I sure as hell want to help out."
"We do need your help with all the kids," Lavender Brown said walking up. "But we also need your help building up a magical barrier so that if the Death Eaters do find our Common Room and try to get in. The magical barrier will give us enough time to go through the secret passage that will get us down to the dungeons."
"Okay, let's get this done with." Bridget said nodding.
Professor Albus Dumbledore turned to Head Girl, Adora Potter. "Are all Prefects and teachers accounted for?"
Adora shook her head, "Sixth and Seventh year Slytherin Prefects are missing."
"I assumed this much," Dumbledore said nodding and then Dumbledore's eyes about bugged out of his head. "Susan why is your baby in here?"
"I had no place to bring her, you told all prefects to come in here as soon as possible."
Dumbledore nodded, "Miss Weasley will take the baby back with herself to Gryffindor Common Room."
"Me!" Ginny asked outraged, "Why me!"
"We all know that without you Miss Weasley, we will never get rid of Autumn Lewis."
Ginny nodded, "You mean without me giving birth to my twin babies? But it says in prophecies that Harry can't beat Voldemort without me or my love!"
"Yes Miss Weasley," Professor McGonagall tried. "But we don't even know that Voldemort is on his way with the Death Eaters. For all we know this could just be a stunt they are pulling. We need you safe until it is absolutely certain that Voldemort will be here."
"Fine," Ginny nodded. "But we have no idea how close they are to the castle, so how am I going to get back to Gryffindor tower without being caught."
"That is if we can't stop them outside of the castle," Arabella said handing Roselyn over to Ginny. "Take her with you too."
"Here's my invisibility cloak," Harry said leaning over to his loving wife and kissing her lips. "I love you."
"But…" Ginny knew she'd been beaten out that they were going to make her go back to Gryffindor Common Room whether she liked it or not. "I love you too Harry," Ginny said with her eyes filling up with tears as a single one trailed down her porcelain face. "Come back to me."
Harry nodded and kissed those loving soft lips once more, "I promise."
Ginny put Roselyn on her right hip and Breeanna on her left. Harry draped the invisibility cloak over his wife as she began to walk away with lots of crocodile tears flowing easily down the porcelain face Harry loved so much.
"We need to inform Bridget and the others that Ginny will be arriving to Gryffindor Common Room, or they'll think she's an intruder," Adora said suddenly.
"Contact her," Dumbledore said smiling as he knew of all the secret powers the amazing Potter children had.
Adora nodded and began to tap into her youngest niece's mind, 'Bridget? Bridget can you hear me?'
'Yeah? What's going on?'
'Have you guys set up the barrier yet?'
'Almost done why?'
'Ginny is on her way up with Breeanna and Roselyn.'
'Okay, but she will be joining you guys right?'
'No.'
'No? Why the hell not?'
'Geez, Bridget it's not like I got all the time in the world to explain this all to you.'
'Okay, give me the cliff notes.'
'We can't send Ginny out because we need her to be safe so that she can one day give birth to the twins.'
'Okay.'
'Let me know when she gets there.'
'Okay.'
Seamus, Dean, Lavender, and Pavarti were all looking at Bridget oddly, "What?"
"What were you doing?" Seamus asked backing away from her.
"Yeah," Pavarti nodded. "You just stopped talking to us and got all rigid."
"Oh," Bridget said as realization struck her. "I was talking to Adora."
"Huh!" Lavender asked as her ditzy ness was showing, "How?"
"We can talk telepathically," Bridget said shrugging her shoulders as if it would be just like talking on a muggle telephone.
"How can you do that?" Dean asked.
"Something all of us Potters can do, been like that for generations."
"So why isn't it in any books?" Asked Seamus.
"It is," Bridget confirmed. "You have to find Cassandra Gryffindor's writings, but I'm sure you won't be able to read it nor touch it."
"And why not!" Seamus asked outraged.
"Because she charmed it to where only her family could touch it and read about themselves."
"Wow," Lavender gasped. "So all of you guys know exactly what's going to happen to you?"
"No," Bridget said shaking her head. "We all knew that Ginny and Harry were destined to be together, because every male of our heritage that has a big destiny ends up marrying a redhead."
"Like your mum and dad?" Dean asked.
Bridget nodded, "Exactly. We knew that Adora would be a very powerful witch and be a Seer, but we had no idea that she would be as powerful as she is now."
"What about Susan?" Pavarti asked.
"We knew she'd look just like my mum and that she marry someone we'd never expect at the beginning."
"Malfoy," Seamus nodded.
"So what about these 'twins' we keep hearing about?" Dean asked.
Bridget smiled, "Ginny will give birth to them and they will destroy Autumn Lewis."
"But why would we want her gone?" Lavender asked, "It's not as if she's evil."
"Not at the moment," Bridget muttered. "Look you guys, Ginny is suppose to be back here any moment with Breeanna and Roselyn."
"Who?" Dean asked stupidly.
"Roselyn, my cousin, Professor Black's daughter. Breeanna is my niece, Susan's daughter."
"Oh yeah," Dean said blushing.
'Bridget?'
'Gin?'
'Yeah, I'm here.'
'Alright, just a moment.'
"You guys Ginny is here, we need to take off the barrier momentarily so Ginny can get in."
Harry was in the Prefect Lounge was surrounded by Order Members and Ministry workers were leaving the room on the way to the grounds to fight off Death Eaters and possibly even Lord Voldemort himself.
Newer Order members, such as Harry, Ernie McMillian, Padma Patil, Draco Malfoy, and Ron Weasley. Yes, Neville Longbottom had been a new Order member, but since he had been convicted of raping Bridget Potter; and so he'd been kicked out of the Order of Phoenix.
When the doors to Hogwarts's Entrance Hall was opened, you could see tons of Death Eaters slowly swarming the grounds from apparating from the small town of Hogsmede. Harry turned to his left and saw Aunt Adora looking straight ahead and to his right was sister Susan. Other side of Susan was Draco and the other side of Adora was Ron.
For all these Seventh year students knew was that this was the end, the Final Battle.
"Ready?" Came Adora's voice from Harry's left.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Order and Ministry officials had already hit the field fighting the many Death Eaters, and the future of the Wizarding World began to help out.
Harry began dueling with a Death Eater and within minutes the guy was down and it ended up being Gregory Goyle Jr., Harry's classmate. Draco's old best friend. Harry turned to his right and there was Draco and he just looked stunned.
"I knew he…but I never…"
Harry nodded, "It's okay. We've just got to go on." Harry said an incantation and there cuffs around Goyle's hands and sent to lockup at the Ministry.
Draco nodded mutely and just went on and began dueling harder than any of the new Order members had ever learned in their training camp.
Those few words were the only ones spoken within the many intense hours of dueling.
Harry had bumped into almost everyone in his family too many times and sure there was a couple of seconds for a 'How are you doing,' but there was just so many deaths and horrible screams going on that you didn't want to speak.
Adora was fighting Death Eaters off by twos, one by her wand and two by her mind. Of course there was a huge target on her head after everyone knew how much of a powerful witch she was. Everyone in the Wizarding World knew of the bounty that Lord Voldemort had on that Adora Potter.
Susan was getting tired, she'd never been through any Order camps and now she was beginning to regret it. Maybe all her family had been right, maybe she should have joined the Order. If she did die in battle at least she would die in honor. Susan did have an extensive family and if both herself and Draco were to perish, Susan did know that her family would take baby Breeanna with open arms. "Ahh!" Susan yelled as she threw a hex and threw her competitor to the ground.
Susan turned to her right and there was Harry being taken on by four people…
Ginny had went up to her dormitory to try and get the babies to sleep, and Bridget was staring out of the castle window looking at the on going fight of Good vs. Evil.
Bridget watched her big sister Susan just throw down a Death Eater she'd been fighting for a good ten minutes, but then Bridget noticed the many Death Eaters surrounding Harry.
"Harry run!" Bridget was screaming through the window while drawing looks from younger students in the Common Room. "Harry no! Look behind you!"
"What's wrong Bridget!" Ginny asked walking back into the Common Room, "Why is she screaming."
"Um, Ginny." Lavender said trying to take Ginny out of the room before Ginny heard what Bridget was yelling about.
"HARRY!"
"Why is she yelling my husbands name?" Ginny cried running away from Lavender and towards her best friend and sister-in-law.
"Harry!" And then Bridget vanished.
"BRIDGET!" Ginny ran to the spot where Ginny had been standing there looking out onto the field and Bridget was now with Harry, fighting off the many Death Eaters around them.
"How did she do that!" Seamus Finnigan asked looking at Ginny, "But…uh…"
"I have no idea," Ginny said looking out at the window as she saw Bridget throwing Death Eaters away without her wand. "Oh no…"
"Wow!" Pavarti gasped, "Since when could Bridget use telekinetics?"
"Uh…" Ginny turned her head, "I hear one of the babies crying, I'll be back. Someone watch the fight and tell me what's going on when I get back."
"Bridget!" Harry said as his eyes bugged out as out of now where his baby sister had left Gryffindor Tower and appeared beside him. "How? You can't apparate in Hogwarts."
"I…I didn't," Bridget blinked as she looked as stunned as Harry had been for her sudden appearance next to her older brother. Even the Death Eaters looked stunned but they didn't stay that stunned for too long. Death Eaters saw another Potter, sure this Potter never really showed any special powers or destiny that the other Potters did but she was still a Potter. Everyone knew that Lord Voldemort wanted all Potters dead, no matter how old or young; talented or untalented they were. Secret was though, neither Lord Voldemort nor Death Eaters really knew what Bridget held for the future.
Eventually Harry and Bridget were separated as they were still going on fighting with more and more Death Eaters.
Oliver Wood turned, after he took down another Death Eater, and his eyes about bugged out of his head when he saw the one and only Bridget Potter on the grounds fighting Death Eaters.
"Oy, Malfoy!" Wood yelled from over his shoulder.
"Huh!" Draco yelled back as he was trying to fight off Blaise Zambini, another childhood friend.
"What the hell is Bridget doing on the field?"
"What are you?" Draco turned around and blinked several times as he slammed Zambini to the ground, "No clue. I thought she was suppose to be up in Gryffindor Tower with Ginny."
"She was."
"No clue," Draco repeated as he tied Zambini's hands behind his back. "Oy, Wood!"
"Huh?"
"Look out for Bridget!"
Oliver turned around and saw a green light heading for Bridget and Bridget had no idea as her back was turned towards another Death Eater. 'Avada Kedavra' curse was flying towards Bridget, she'd be dead in a matter of seconds.
Oliver leaped over to Bridget and pulled her down to the ground, the Death Curse hit the Death Eater she'd been fighting.
"WOOD!" Bridget screamed trying to push him off of her, she still couldn't be near men without freaking out. "Get off!"
"No, you are not suppose to be out here and I'm bringing you back to the castle."
"I'm doing fine! I'm helping get rid of the Death Eaters!" Bridget yelled in outrage as Oliver yelled at Malfoy to cover him as he carried Bridget back to the castle. It wouldn't be too hard as they were just feet from the doorway to the Entrance Hall.
"Fine my arse!" Oliver yelled as he had her thrown over his shoulder, "You were just fighting that Death Eater and another Death Eater threw the killing curse at you. If it wasn't for me you'd have joined your mum, dad, and grandparents tonight."
"Wh…what?" Bridget stuttered.
"This is the third time you've come near death Bridget Potter," Oliver entered the Entrance Hall and still had her over his shoulder as he carried her to the Hospital Wing.
"Huh!"
"You almost died the night your parents were murdered, the night Longbottom raped you and beat you, and then tonight."
"Put me down!" Bridget yelled, "We're back in the castle."
"Nope," Oliver said putting his foot down. "I have let you tell me what to do and I've backed off of you every time you've told me. I almost lost you again tonight and I'd rather know you hate me because I won't quit badgering you until you love me again."
Bridget began to beat Oliver the best she could, "I never loved you and I never will!"
"Not good to lie," arriving at the Hospital Wing…
"You can put me down now!"
"Nope, MADAM POMFREY!"
A few moments later Madam Pomfrey showed up not looking happy that Oliver was screaming at her, "What is your problem boy!"
"Bridget Potter," Oliver said putting the girl down in front of him.
Madam Pomfrey immediately saw the scratches all over Bridget's face and arms, "Miss Potter…how?"
"She some how got on the field and was fighting."
"Miss Potter! I know personally that you were to stay up in Gryffindor Tower!"
"It was an accident," Bridget said honestly. "I could see many Death Eaters surrounding Harry and I got so worried and I kept yelling for him…and then I was on the field helping him."
"Well I need to check out the both of you."
"Both?" Oliver asked stupidly.
"Yes, both of you." Madam Pomfrey chuckled, "Sit. I'll be right back with my medical bag."
Bridget sat down and could feel Oliver's eyes upon her and when she turned to look at him she saw that she'd been right. "What are you looking at!"
"You."
"Why?"
"I love gazing at the most beautiful woman."
"Stuff it Wood," Bridget said rolling her eyes. "You need your eyes checked, I'm anything but the 'most beautiful woman,' I'm a slut. A slut and I know it."
"No your not," Oliver said placing his hand on Bridget's and she yanked it away from him.
"I told you to leave me alone!"
Meanwhile…
Harry smiled inside knowing that his family and family had been fighting Death Eaters beside one another, now the Death Eaters were retreating. It was nice to know that the Death Eaters were retreating to them, even though Harry knew that this wouldn't be the last fight against Death Eaters that they'd have. Hell, Voldemort hadn't even showed his ugly face.
A bright green light caught Harry's eye and when he saw who took the Death Curse, he was too shocked to scream but a woman's scream filled the air as all Death Eaters apparated away. That woman's scream had been of Arabella's, and she flung herself to the ground. Now in Arabella Black's arms was her dead husband, Sirius Black himself. Sirius Black dead at thirty-eight years old.
"NO!" Arabella cried rocking back and forth with her husband's lifeless body in her arms, "NO! You can't leave me! We haven't had enough time! Roselyn will never know you! Sirius damn it! You bastard don't you die on me! No! Don't you dare die on me!"
Harry threw his arms around his loving Aunt Arabella but she shoved him away, "NO Harry! Sirius is not dead! He's playing a joke on us, my loving husband wouldn't leave Roselyn and me alone like this! We're suppose to have more babies! Lots and lots more babies! We were planning to have a little boy," Arabella sobbed into Sirius's shirt until you couldn't understand her words anymore.
Dumbledore helped pry Arabella off of Sirius's lifeless body and Harry took his sobbing aunt up the castle and to the Hospital Wing, she would defiantly need a dreamless night tonight.
"Roselyn," Arabella sobbed into Harry's shoulder. "I want my baby Roselyn, she needs her mummy now. She only has mummy now. Merlin, Sirius! Why did you have to leave us!"
"What in Merlin's great name!" Madam Pomfrey asked outraged that there was a belligerent woman screaming down the hallway. But soon the woman's identity was known as Harry helped his grieving aunt into the Hospital Wing. "Arabella?"
"Bella?" Bridget asked sitting up and wondering why in Merlin's name would her aunt be crying so badly.
"Noooooo!" Arabella sobbed.
"Madam Pomfrey, Arabella needs a dreamless potion. We need to get her asleep, ASAP."
A few moments later Arabella was out and Harry helped Madam Pomfrey get his now sleeping aunt into a bed.
"What is she sobbing about?" Bridget asked with her eyes wide with horror.
"You sure you want to know?"
"Of course I want to know Harry!"
"Sirius."
Bridget looked at her brother oddly, "What about Sirius?"
"He was hit with the Killing Curse."
"No!" Bridget said starting to cry and Oliver gathered the sobbing Potter princess in his arms as he let her grieve over her beloved uncle.
