(I'm not claiming anything that was made by J.K Rowling, who would want someone stealing their characters! Everything is hers except Lemercier.)

14. The War

Unknown to those inside the private room of the Dark Lord, the death eaters were surrounded when spells, curses and hand made potions were thrown at them. The screams that filled the air was cut short by howls, Malfoy Manor has now become the battleground. Ron pushed his way through the streaming bodies colliding and falling around him, Moody had disappeared on him, turning around he stunned a death eater, then another as it's spell missed him by a hairs breath. The sounds that came with battle were loud but you could still make out your own breathe, you could still hear your heart beating in your ears, and feel your blood coursing it's way throughout your body. Getting up from his crouching position, he punched a death eater, and ran into the manor, yelling.

Both Bellatrix and Snape backed away from Cassandra as if she had a fatal disease, but only the Dark Lord remained, his eyes lingered on her bowed back. Nagini is dead... Nagini is dead... The thought of his faithful snake dead amoung his other thoughts blurred what was his servant was saying. Only the words 'Harry Potter' seemed to have brought him out of his moment of weakness and renewed it with anger. Before he could yell out an order, both Greyback and Rudolphus entered the rooms. Rudolphus damped with sweat and his wand dangling from his right hand. While Greyback in a torn shirt stood beside him breathing heavily.

"My Lord the light side have attacked, they are within the manor, what is your command?"

"Kill them," Everyone bowed at once, but the Dark Lord held both Cassandra and Snape. "You two will stay with me." Again everyone bowed, before leaving Bellatrix took out her wand and gave both the two people she hated the most a look of loathe. The doors were shut immediately by Pettigrew who too stayed behind, his little watery eyes darting here and there. "Get up Cassandra," She followed his orders and stood before her master, head still bowed. Before he could have said another word, a loud crack then crash echoed throughout the atrium, that led into the private chambers that all four were occupying at the moment.

A nod from the Dark Lord to Severus, the black haired man took out his wand and proceed to the hallway, closing the door behind him. Harry stood before him dusty, but his wand pointed dead center at the man, the same man that murdered Dumbledore. "Potter" He spat.

"You!" And at once they aimmed a spell at each other, both of them hitting full force blowing them off their feet. Harry got up quickly, before Snape could get up he ran to him tackling the old man to the ground, making both of them lose their wands. Punches landed aimlessly, only the grunt or feel of bone hitting bone did Harry or Severus know they had landed the punch in the correct area. Scrambling across the marble floor, they ran after their wands with Severus getting to his first he aimed it at Potter and yelled "Expelliarmus!" Ducking behind a chair the spell missed Harry Potter entirely. Standing up it was his turn.

At once Severus arms snapped together, then his legs. But it didn't take long for the spell faded. Severus noticed that he Potter surprised him, that he was not ready for that spell.

"Incendio!" The chair that Harry had chosen for cover, started to burn, pushing himself out from the cover it, he felt a burning sensation as a spell hit him on his back. Bitting back the pain he raised his wand, Severus was way ahead of him and too held his wand before him. "Now who in the world has taught you Occlumency?" They both started to circle around each other, the chair had transferred the fire to the table beside it, and the atrium was soon roaring with the flames.

"Cassandra Lemercier," Snape's eyes widen with surprise.

"Impossible I would have-"

"Noticed? She's just as good as you, if not better... Of course she would slip through your watchful eye... She was Dumbledore's pupil."

Severus lowered his wand, at the thought of Dumbledore going behind his back, and molding another spy, one to his advantage, and that he didn't know of. At that moment of weakness, Harry raised his wand and yelled "Mobilicorpus!" Snape's body was flung to the wall, that Harry could have sworn he heard something break, with a loud thump his body fell to the ground blood slowly tinkling out from the corner of his mouth. "A life for a life." Moving around he started for the doors, bursting them open.

Before he could say another word, he watched with horror and surprise as Cassandra stood in front of Lord Voldemort, her eyes gleamed from the fire that was building behind him. Her wand was raised against him, backing slowly she moved beside the Dark Lord. Harry couldn't help but watched with shock, what is the world is that woman doing? Was the question that seemed to replay in his head over and over again. "This is not a good place to battle my Lord, let us to a fimiliar place. Let us to our home." When she said 'our home', her eyes widen at Harry. Then before he could react to what she meant, she aimed her wand at the ceiling, yelled something like a spell. The whole manor shook and rumbled, the anti apparation shield was off, then at once they both disappeared before his eyes with a loud crack. Demtermined to get kill Voldemort and so be it Cassandra, he dissappeared too.
