Chapter 14- Voldermort's Army Attacks

It was no the week before Christmas break. All of the Gryffindor students were sitting in the common room, studying for their winter exams. Alex was sitting alone in the corner and Harry, Herimone, and Ron were sitting by the fire. Suddenly Alex slammed her book shut and quickly ran out of the room. Everyone looked up at her as she ran out of the common room, scoffing at Harry, Herimone, and Ron.

"What's her problem?" Ron asked setting down his quill. "Did her and Drakie-Poo break up?"

Harry closed his book, "I doubt it, they were all over each other at lunch. It's disgusting. Do you know she's trying to get moved to the Slytherin common room? She says she doesn't belong in Gryffindor. Her and Pansy are now like best friends or something." Harry rolled his eyes, "I don't know what she doesn't get about Draco. She thinks he's a saint or something."

"Every girl drools over him, it's disgusting." Ron stuck out his tongue, "She's just gonna have the same fate as her parents, which sucks for her." Harry glared at Ron.

"I know she's not the greatest person in the world, but no one deserves to be killed." Ron rolled his eyes annoyingly.

Harry stood up and walked up into the common room. When he got up there he saw Neville lying awkwardly on his bed. He walked up to him and gasped. Neville was lying on the bed with a streak of blood across his face.

"Neville, lemme get Madame Promphrey. Oh my god…" Harry ran towards the door.

"Harry, stop, I need to tell you something!" Neville yelled in a raspy voice.

Harry stopped at looked at him.

"He's in the corner."

Girls Bathroom

Alex was sitting a stall crying. Her hands were on the bathroom wall forming a fist. She slammed them hard against the plastic causing them to rattle.

"You're going to break the doors." Moaning said as she flew into Alex's stall.

Alex looked at her with surprise, " What if I was pissing Myrtle?" Moaning Myrtle giggled.

"Well, girls don't pee standing up, unless you're special."

Alex walked out of the stall and hopped onto on the of the sinks, "I'm special alright. Everyone hates me."

Moaning Myrtle sat by her, "I heard about you cheating on Harry. Herimone and Ginny came in here a few days ago. You're not their favorite person."

"Thanks a lot, even though this short conversation has made me feel so much better, I have Herbology in like 5 minutes, so I better go. Bye Myrtle." Alex got up and left the bathroom. As she walked out she ran into Ginny. She seemed really worried.

"Ginny what's wrong?"

Ginny looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Wormtail, Harry, and Neville are together in the Gryffindor tower and everyone's saying Neville's dead and Harry's hurt.

Gryffindor Common Room

Harry had his wand sticking right in Wormtail's throat. He could feel Wormtail's breathing start to race with panic. Suddenly he felt Wormtail reach for his wand. Before he could react, Wormtail jabbed his wand into Harry's stomach and he fell to the floor. Wormtail had his wand pointing to Harry's head.

"Oh, Mr. Potter, Voldermort will be so happy! I've waited along time to see you die, oh, he will be so pleased! But first, where is Alex?"

Harry looked at him skeptically, "Why do you want to know about Alex?"

Wormtail laughed, " Alex survived Lord Voldermort's wrath to, she's just like you. If you look in the middle of her palm, she has a scar. But no one knows she's just as unique as the famous Harry Potter. But I can deal with her later." Wormtail put his foot on Harry's neck, "Well, good bye Harry Potter." He laughed cruely as green sparks erupted from his wand like a thousand stars racing towards the ground. Hart let out a cry and then became unconscious.

The Great Hall

"Students, please, listen up." Headmaster McGonnagal stood up, "I know many of you have heard about the incident in Gryffindor Tower today. We do not mean to alarm you in anyway, but you deserve to know the truth. Harry Potter is currently in the nurses ward, he was critically injured by an illegal spell." Ginny let out a cry and started sobbing, Professor McGonnagal continued, "But do not worry, the spell isn't always deathly. We found Harry soon after it happened. Neville Longbottom is with his grandparents, we are sad to say that he's fate is not a lucky as Harry. He was infected with a deadly virus that is spread by a terribly poisonous snake, called a Verego. He will be living the remainder of his days at his home." Professor McGonnagal paused to wipe her eyes, " From now on we have some regulations all students must abide by, no exceptions. You will stay in your common rooms at all times; classes have been suspended. The windows and doors must be shut and bolted. No owls or outside means of communication may be used." She paused, "These rules are merely precautions, there is no need to panic. Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world." She wiped her eye once, " Well, enough talk, please enjoy your dinner."

Ginny and Herimone looked at each other sadly. They glanced down the table and saw that everyone was crying and obviously scared. Herimone shook her head unbelievingly and started to cry. Neville hadn't done anything wrong, she didn't get why the snake bit him.

After dinner Ron, Herimone, and Ginny all went up to the nurse's corridor. They walked in quietly and saw Harry lying asleep on a bed. Madame Promphrey ran up to them in a very rushed manner.

"Oh, hello Ron, Herimone, and Ginny. I'm assuming you've come to see Harry. He won't be up for quite some time, the antidote I gave him will make him sleepy for a few hours." She paused, " It's odd that you showed up, I thought Alex would've told you he was asleep, she came in here just a few hours ago."

"Alex was here?" Ron asked.

Madame Promphrey nodded, "Yes, she seemed to need to tell him something important."

"Oh, well, we'll be back later then? Good bye Madame." Herimone pulled Ron's arm and they ran away. As they steep out of the corridor they ran into Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle who we were laughing loudly.

"Draco, where's Alex?"

Draco calmed himself down, "She's meeting with Dumbledore right now."

"What about?"

Draco shrugged, " I dunno, but she's been in there an awfully long time."

Suddenly a loud bang filled the entire school. Herimone wobbled backwards with the force of the noise. She glanced down over the stairs and saw about 150 people dressed in all black running into the school, casting curses everywhere.

"Oh my god, wake up Harry Ron!" Herimone screamed at him," Ginny, let's go now!" They ran down the stairs and were surrounded by a group of Death Eaters.

"Look, it's a filthy mudblood and a poor pure blood mixed together. This school has gone to the dogs." A death eater spat out, taking a step towards Herimone. He puts his over her mouth and shouted a binding spell, another did the same to Ginny.

"Take them to the forest." The death eater yelled as Ginny and Herimone were being dragged down the stairs.

"Ginny, I guess the rumors were true. Voldermort does have an army." As she spoke, the Death Eater holding her kicked her in the face, knocking her out. Ginny screamed loudly as she looked around the Great Hall, hundreds of students were in the hall, attempting to fight back. But it seemed everywhere students were getting hit by a curse and falling to the ground.

As she glanced around she saw a face she'd never forget. Voldermort was standing in the middle of the fighting; looking straight at her with his cold, gray eyes.
