A/N

This chapter is full no battle between the DA and the death eaters. Order members do show up eventually but it's a little too late. Thank you to those, who reviewed and answered my question about who should die, you're about to find out if you got your wish. Yes Harry is fine and I'll try to stop the other main characters from getting injured as well but I can't guarantee. My next question pertains to Fred/Hermione fans…how many of you would like to read about those three little words ( I love you)? Anytime in particular? Let me know.

The Final Battle Trilogy Part One

Hermione struggled to keep her head as she fought her way through the death eaters, she was trying to find someone to watch her back as she fought but everyone seemed to have paired up already. I guess Harry did that because he thought I could handle it but I'm not so sure. She fired Pertrificus Totalus at an unsuspecting death eater who had been fighting Dean and he smiled at her in thanks before engaging another death eater in battle. Searching the crowd for Harry she hoped he was okay, as he fought most likely by himself.

"Watch out." Someone yelled and everyone near Hermione looked up, she ducked just in time to see a curse fly over her head.

"Mudblood." The death eater nodded firing a curse.

"Protego." Hermione yelled putting up a shield, "Stupefy." She called.

"Nice try." He laughed coldly and Hermione began a difficult fight for her life.

"Ow." Hermione yelled as a cutting curse sliced her stomach.

"Stupefy." Fred yelled and Lucious Malfoy went down, Fred put invisible binds on him and went to Hermione's side.

"Fred…" Hermione said looking at him.

"Hi honey." Fred greeted.

"I love…" Hermione fainted.

"Shit." Fred said he lifted her up and looked around.

"Here I'll take her into the pub." Neville took Hermione from him and went into the Three Broomsticks and Fred saw him floo, probably to Hogwarts.

"Fred!" Ginny yelled and Fred saw her fighting with three death eaters.

"Coming sis!" Fred replied taking off towards her.

"Fred!" George yelled form the other direction and Fred looked as George fought his own three death eaters.

"Stupefy." Fred heard Harry yell and one of the death eaters near Ginny went down so Fred went to help George.

"What do we know? How bad is it?" George asked as the twins fought back to back.

"I don't know there's a lot of bodies but I don't know how many are dead." Fred answered.

"Where's the rest of the order?" George asked taking down a death eater.

"I flooed Dumbledore and he said they were coming." Fred replied.

"Knowing him he's waiting to see how we can handle it." George laughed.

"Tell me about it." They ducked as a flash of light went over their heads and shot back quickly.

"See you soon." George engaged in battle and Fred went to see if Ginny was okay. Walking over to where he had last seen her he was shocked to see Harry sitting on the ground next to a mass of red hair. Fred ran as fast as he could to reach whom he assumed was his sister and he flew himself down on the ground next to her. She seemed to be unconscious and Fred automatically filled with guilt as he realized that he had left her.

"What happened." Fred said looking at Harry, "Harry! What happened?" He shook Harry's shoulders.

"She took a curse I was standing in front of her fighting these three death eaters that were attacking her and when I turned around she was on the ground, that death eater," Harry pointed to a death eater that looked dead, "Fired the curse."

"What happened to the death eater?" Fred asked suddenly worried.

"I stunned and bound him." Harry explained and he looked down at the lifeless form of Ginny, "I should've killed him. He hurt her and I should have killed him."

"No Harry. You did what you could and killing him would've made you like them. Ginny wouldn't have wanted that for you." Fred assured him.

"It's my fault she got hurt, I should've paid more attention to her." Harry looked downcast.

"It was my fault she called for me too and I didn't come if the two of us were together we could have protected her.

"Fred don't…" Harry was cut off as he pulled Fred out of harms way. A curse had just missed Fred's head by an inch.

"Take her to safety, I'll be fighting." Fred stood up and began to fight again while watching to make sure Harry got Ginny out.

--

Ron took down a death eater and he fought his way through the crowds of fighting people trying to get sight of Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, Luna, Neville and Sarah. Maybe seeing his friends would give him a new spirit to keep fighting because this battle was taking way too long. Spotting Sarah and Neville fighting back to back was comforting and he continued to search the groups, he saw Fred making his way to Harry and with a renewed vigor he began to fight. After taking down another four death eaters he finally got to Harry and Fred.

"Have you two seen Ginny, Luna or Hermione?" Ron asked worriedly.

"I haven't seen Luna yet but Hermione was hit with a cutting curse across her stomach, Neville took her into Hogwarts but he came back out and Ginny was hit with something. We don't know what, Harry brought her into Hogwarts as well." Fred explained.

"Hermione was awake and itching to come back out when I was in there." Harry said with a slight smile.

"She lost a lot of blood she better not come back." Fred said threateningly.

"Madame Pomfrey wouldn't let her and I agreed with you." Harry said.

"And Luna?" Ron asked.

"No idea mate." Harry saw the look of worry cross Ron's face.

"She's fine." Fred assured him.

--

"Luna?" Ron called, the order had finally shown up and most DA members were heading back up to the castle to safety. Ron was standing by the gates to the castle waiting to see if Luna went by but it was mainly stragglers heading back now, Fred and Harry had already gone but he had seen no trace of Luna. Most death eaters that had been bound by the DA had already been taken in to the Ministry and the order members were just checking the bodies to find anyone else.

"Luna?" Ron repeated and he went back towards where the people were looking.

"You should be back at the castle." Bill stopped by Ron.

"Have you seen Luna? I can't find her anywhere." Ron looked around anxiously.

"You mean Luna Lovegood?" Bill asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Ron nodded impatiently.

"I think she just went in to the hospital with the critically injured but I'm sure she's…" Bill started but when Ron heard the word hospital he had taken off towards the castle.

"Bye then." Bill called shaking his head.

"What was that?" Charlie stepped up to his brother.

"Luna's injured and Ron's freaking out. Have you heard anything about the death toll?" Bill questioned.

"Not too many three students and one professor." Charlie told him.

"Which professor?" Bill asked worriedly.

"Snape. But the hospital wing is full and there are even stretchers out in the hall, the number of injured DA members is not surprising." Charlie told him, "Luna, Hermione, and Ginny were all injured." Charlie and Bill began walking up to the castle.

"Is she okay?" Bill asked worriedly.

"Ginny's unconscious, Hermione's awake but she lost a lot of blood and I haven't heard about Luna." Charlie swung open the door and was immediately bombarded by people. There were nurses form St. Mungo's asking of they were injured, their mother making sure they were okay and lastly their father asking if they had heard anything.

--

"Luna!" Ron walked down a hallway lined with stretchers.

"Ron?" Luna called from her bed.

"Luna!" Ron reached her side and kissed her, "Are you okay?"

"I have three broken ribs, a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder." Luna told him trying not to move.

"Have they done anything? Given you anything for the pain?" Ron asked sitting on the end of her bed holding her hand.

"They fixed up my shoulder but broken bones aren't really a priority. And pain relief potions aren't a big concern either." Luna explained, "But it's fine." She winced as she tried to move her leg.

"Here one second." Ron got up and came back a minute later with a pain reliever potion.

"Where'd you get that?" Luna asked smiling happily.

"My dad." Ron smiled, "But I can't do anything about your broken bones."

"Thank you." Luna smiled and she took it quickly, "Oh that's disgusting."

"I know but it helps." Ron brushed her hair out of her eyes and smiled, relieved that she was okay.

--

"My girlfriend is unconscious and I want you to figure out what's wrong with her." Harry yelled at a nurse.

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter but her condition is stable and we have more important things to deal with at the moment but if you give me an hour…" The nurse started.

"I want to know what happened to her now. She needs help." Harry shouted.

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter but there's nothing I can do." The nurse walked away.

"But…" Harry started, giving up Harry threw himself down onto a chair and buried his head in his hands. Harry was so tired of it all, of always getting special treatment because of his fame but when he wanted the special treatment he got nothing. He was tired of fighting this stupid war and he was tired of being the bloody boy-who-lived and he wanted it to end.

"Any luck?" Arthur sat down in the next chair.

"No. Ginny isn't top priority according to nurse." Harry rolled his eyes.

"Well she came in right away and she is stable." Arthur reminded.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Harry asked sarcastically.

"No but it makes me feel better." Arthur told him.

"Yeah, I understand." Harry said sadly sighing frustratedly.

"Molly's checking on Hermione but she'll be here soon. You should get some rest." Arthur told him worriedly.

"I'm fine and I'm not leaving her." Harry took her hand and put his head down on her bed.

"Fine, I'm going to go tell the boys she's okay. I'll be right back." Arthur left quickly.

Harry shut his eyes and heard the business of the hospital around him as he slowly fell asleep because of the exhaustion of the day.

--

"You need to lie down." Fred sat on the bed next to Hermione.

"I'm fine." Hermione told him trying to sit up.

"You wouldn't last five minutes standing up, you lost so much blood. You gave me quite the scare." Fred squeezed her hair.

"Nobody talks like that." Hermione laughed and shook her head.

"I know but I had to lighten the mood somehow." Fred told her running his fingers through her hair.

"Thank you, you're my knight in shining armor." Hermione smiled.

"And you're my princess." Fred took her other hand and kissed her.

"Hem, hem." Arthur cleared his throat.

"Hi dad." Fred hung his head not turning around.

"I just wanted to give you news on Ginny." Arthur explained.

"Is she alright?" Fred turned around quickly gripping Hermione's hand.

"She's stable but she's unconscious still. We don't know what's wrong with her." Arthur told them.

"Okay dad, I'll go see her after." Fred smiled lightly.

"Me too." Hermione agreed.

"You're staying in bed." Fred argued.

"I'm fine." Hermione contradicted.

"No you're not." Fred argued.

"Ugh." Hermione fumed.

"He's right." Ron sat down on the chair by Hermione's bed.

"Not you too." Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Yes me too. And if Harry weren't sleeping by Ginny's bed then I'm sure he would too." Ron said.

"I'm fine, I could've come out to finish the battle with you." Hermione told them sitting up.

"Here you know what, come see Ginny with me." Fred pulled back Hermione's sheets and helped her swing her legs around.

"What are you doing she shouldn't be getting up." Ron said standing up quickly.

"I know that and you know that but she doesn't know that." Fred helped her stand up and immediately grabbed her so she didn't fall over.

"Ooh." Hermione leaned into Fred.

"Hmm Mmm." Ron laughed softly.

"Now do you see what I mean?" Fred helped her back into her bed.

"Blood loss…me dizzy…night." Hermione held tight to Fred's hand and drifted off to sleep.

"I should go back to Luna." Ron said softly.

"Yes wouldn't want her to be disappointed in you, lover-boy." Fred laughed.

"Ha ha very funny." Ron shook his head sarcastically and left the wing.
