WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW
Neville was distraught the one girl who really loved him had been captured by death eaters, not to mention that this same girl was the one who was fated to destroy the evil Voldemort once and for all. He was pacing Dumbledore's office stopping occasionally to smash some random object in his blind rage and heartache (a/n remind you of anyone?). "Mr Longbottom either you can continue this unprecedented attack on my possessions or we can talk about how to get Miss Potter out of there". Neville instantly stopped pacing and looked at his headmaster wondering how the old man had come up with a plan so fast. "Voldemort sent me a letter earlier it said he would be willing to trade this girls life for my own. Obviously he does not realise that he actually holds the one person who could destroy him. I will agree to this deal then …" "NO! Headmaster you cant do this there must be some other way…" "Mr Longbottom if you are quite finished as I was about to say I will agree to this deal and when the trade is in progress we will both fight. I know that Miss Potter may not be in an ideal state to fight but it must be done". Neville just stared at the headmaster realizing that this was probably the best plan anyone could come up with at the moment and then he nodded and said "headmaster I agree as long as you take a group of the order along with you and allow me to be there" Dumbledore smiled and agreed on that detail.
WHAM! A death eater kicked Emily in the face and the girl could instantly tell that her nose had been broken and much as she tried not to she started to cry. The death eater was only a new recruit and at the sight of this beautiful young woman crying on the floor whom he had just hurt a lot affected him quite badly and he started to beg Emily for forgiveness. Emily was shocked but said that she forgave him as she knew what kind of techniques the Dark Lord used to win people over as he had tried to get her on his side (no doubt because he was impressed with her duelling and was bored of only having one female servant) she shuddered at the thought and pulled a special portkey out of a secret pocket in the jeans she was wearing and told the death eater to ask Dumbledore for protection. After she had done this she activated the healing powers of the ring she wore and healed her nose. 'this power could come in handy rather soon when they find out what I've done' she thought to herself but pushed such thoughts out of her head and tried to get some sleep. She was woken by the not so pleasant feelings of the cruciatus curse which she was held under for two minutes while the other death eaters jeered as they watched her squirm in agony. Then one of the death eaters started forcing himself onto her. She tried to fight him off but this just resulted in a powerful punch to the face which stunned her. She could do nothing while the various death eaters assembled violated her one by one and then left. When they left she was screaming in agony and was bleeding not just a little bit. 'Thank Merlin I've got this ring' she thought as she healed herself and the physical pain went away but the feeling of revulsion stayed with her and she started to cry. The nest day Voldemort himself came and announced to the girl, who was now clad in nothing more than rags and was putting on an act of constantly shivering to make him think she was weak, that Dumbledore had agreed to give his own life to save her and he hadn't thought it would work out this well for him. Emily knew what she had to do. She and Dumbledore had discussed this if she was captured and this option was offer Dumbledore would accept and it would turn into and ambush. During the next three days before her freedom the beatings and crucio's by the death eaters became almost routine and she was able to heal herself after each encounter. Thanks to the ring she was able to remain in full physical health and almost full mental health. The day of the exchange arrived and she had been able to summon her wand and daggers along with her battle robes and put them on casting charms on the robes to make them look like the rags she was wearing to anybody with the dark mark and also caused her wand and daggers to be invisible and corporeal (unseen and unable to be touched) and awaited the guard to take her to the meeting place. When said death eater arrived she was astonished to find it was Snape who looked very guilty and said that he had not been able to find her robes or her weapons. She almost laughed and revealed what she had managed to procure. Snape just stared in shock then shook his head as she returned everything back to its charmed appearance and lead her to the meeting place.
As both Emily and Dumbledore were walking across the exchange platform Emily leaned up to Dumbledore and planted a kiss on his cheek then removed the charms on her clothing and weapons and started cursing the death eaters. Dumbledore and the order all joined in and despite being outnumbered 3:1 their initial surprise attack had taken down roughly half of the stationed death eaters and then the real fighting began. Emily turned herself invisible and drew her daggers as she put away her wand and started attacking the death eaters from behind almost always killing them.
Neville was having the time of his life cursing death eaters like there was no tomorrow until a familiar face appeared and started mocking him "YOU!" He spat at Bellatrix "you tortured my parents and me and you killed the love of my life's godfather prepare to die" and with that they duelled. Emily had meanwhile found herself an interesting adversary "Wormtail" she got the word out as fast as she could as though the name could poison her "you are the reason my parents are dead and why that bastard is back. You killed Cedric and I hate you prepare for death" she abandoned any thoughts of using magic and rushed towards him dodging the weak and poorly aimed curses the rat was throwing at her and she then proceeded to slice off his arm and then took off his head with her other dagger and smirked to herself as she realised the only other remaining death eater was surrounded but curiously only one person was fighting them until she realised who the death eater was and who her adversary was and ran over to watch Neville Levitate a rock in front of him to intercept the killing curse and then banished it towards her. Bellatrix ducked but not fast enough and the rock smashed into her face and a sickening crack was heard as her neck broke. The only person left alive in that area who bore the dark mark was Snape who had decided to show his side and fought for the order. Just then Voldemort turned up ready to gloat over his capture of Albus Dumbledore the man he was supposed to fear he found nothing but corpses and the entire order of the phoenix and his ex-prisoner all glaring at him with expressions of utmost loathing and being the secret coward he is he portkeyed away. A great cheer went up from the good side except for two teenagers who were at the moment searching for the other while holding back tears. When the two found each other they held each other and let their tears flow. After there were no more tears to be cried they each looked into the others eyes and all they could see was unconditional love for each other staring back and then they shared a passionate loving kiss and didn't notice the swirling wind around them making it almost impossible for anyone but themselves to keep on their feet. They only noticed it when it rushed towards them and was absorbed by the two bodies and suddenly they both fell unconscious in each other's arms.
A/n thanks for reading my story here's another chapter quicker than usual because of not updating in ages I hope you like it oh and if you're wondering why Harry/Emily almost immediately went out with Neville was because he had feelings for him all along which he pushed to the back of his mind thinking it was wrong and almost forced himself to fancy girls and you saw how badly his relationship with Cho went. And also how bad he felt after Cedric died I'm kinda using that as an excuse too like she had feelings for him too and the jealousy he felt when Cedric and Cho were together wasn't because he/she fancied Cho but because he/she fancied Cedric (complicated I know but the signs are there.)
