Chapter 13: And the battle begins
They were about half way to the castle, when Hermione heard a girl scream. She made Sirius stop.
"What is it?" he asked her.
"Did you not hear that scream?" she asked , looking were she heard it.
"Your just tired. That's all. I don't think there was a scream." He told her, looking concerned.
"Put me down!" she said instantly as soon as she heard it. Sirius hesitated then put her down. Hermione swayed in her spot for a second then studied herself. She turned to the others.
"You five," she said, pointing to James, Remus, Sirius, Britt, and Lily. "Go back to the castle immediately! Tell Dumbltdore what has been happening and send him out here if I'm not back in a hour!" Sirius stepped up.
"You're not going!" he said despertly.
"Sirius! I have to! And you know that! I can't stand here and not fight! That's not what I do." Sirius looked at her then sighed.
"Your not going alone."

Sirius and Hermione were walking quietly to the place where Hermione heard the scream. She looked around and saw no one.
"I swear," She said. "I heard a scream! Im not hallucinating! I really heard a scre—" Hermione screamed and jumped. Someone had cast a circle of fire around her and Sirius, so there was no way out. Crack she heard at the right. There was Snape. Another crack on the left side of her. There was Lucius. About 6 more cracks, they were in the middle of death eaters.
"We can fight them! Don't worry babe." He said, confidently. After he said this there was one loud POP and Voldemort stood right in front of them.
"Hello." He said in a raspy voice.

James, Remus, Britt, and Lily when lily saw some light. She turned around and saw fire where Sirius and Hermione had gone.
"Hurry!" she yelled at them. They ran into the castle and burst into the great hall. The headmaster was still there, even though the ball was over.
"Dumbledore!" James yelled, running up to him. Dumbledore turned immediately with concern in his eyes. "Hurry! I-its Hermione and Sirius! There some trouble outside. We have to hurry!" Without a word, Dumbledore ran out to the grounds.

Hermione took her wand out. Sirius did the same. Voldemort, however, did not. Instead he started talking.
"I had the pleasure of meeting your friends again, Miss Granger. No. Not the ones here." He said, when Hermione's eyes shot open. "Your other friends. Don't worry. Their not dead…yet." Hermione walked in front of Sirius, as Sirius tried to stop her.
"Don't you DARE touch them!" she yelled, looking into his snake-like eyes.
"And what will a mudblood like you do about it? You have no one to defend you. You're out-numbered."
"She has me." Sirius said, talking for the first time, "And that's all she needs." He glared at him, showing that the conversation was over.
"Fine then." Voldemort whipped out his wand and pointed it at hermione. "Diffindo" He said. He got her right above her left eye. She moved her hand up to the cut.(A/N: I know what your thinking and NO shewill not be the girl-who-lived) As she did a searing pain shot through her. She collasped on the ground in pain. Sirius, who was fighting a death eater, turned away to help Hermione. Voldemort saw him, and shot the same curse at him. Both lying in pain, Voldemort stood over them. He took the curse off.
"Good-bye mudblood. Blood traitor. AVADA—" He was knocked aside by someone. Hermione focused her eyes and saw James. She smiled and got up, helping Sirius along the way. When he stood he swayed in his spot.When Hermione let go, Sirius almost collapsed, so she brought him to a tree, with Sirius holding on to Hermione and limping along, and sat him down.
"Stay here." She ordered him. She left him hidden, so she could go help the others. She came face to face, again, with Voldemort.
"Tell me Granger. Are you scared to die?" Voldemort raised his wand, but right then, Dumbledore came and took Hermione's spot.
"Hello Tom." He said, his wand pointing at him. Voldemort glared and said,
"Dumbledore. How careless of you for turning your back on your students. Even one who shouldn't be here." Dumbledore and Voldemort started battling. Throwing curses every time they could. When Dumbledore knocked Voldemort off of his feet he turned to the others.
"Leave now! Go inside and alert all of the Professors!" he said urgently.
"Professor! We can't!" Hermione pleaded. "We can't leave you here to fight alone!"
"Hermione! Do what I say." She looked at him and nodded. She ran to Sirius and cast a charm so Sirius's leg got bandaged up.
"Can you walk?" she asked him. He nodded weakly. "I'll be right back. Stay here again." Hermione ran to get the others and they started their second walk to the castle.

Hermione ran into Professor McGonagal's office. Hermione must have looked awful, because McGonagal looked up in shock.
"Miss Granger! What has happened to you?"
"Professor! It's urgent! Voldemort's in the forbidden forest! He has eight other death eaters there! Dumbledore needs help!"
"Go to the hospital wing." McGonagal said immediately.
"But Professor! Didn't you hear me? Dumbledore. Needs. Help!" Hermione shouted, tears starting in her eyes.
"Miss Granger! I heard you and I need you to go the the hospital wing! I'll take care of everything else." She left her office to round up the other professors. Hermione left too, but to go to the hospital wing like she was told. She found the others there getting looked at. Hermione swayed in her spot, and Remus ran over to her because Sirius was getting bandaged up.
"Herrmione! Are you okay?"
