Off in the far distance of Scotland, where no people know except of the magical community of course; was the astounding school of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizarding. The sun was just beginning to rise from the mountain side just two people suddenly appeared out of no where right outside Hogwarts wards. The very handsome aristocrat blond was walking closely to a very handsome raven haired boy. They were carrying their luggage; as they came closer to the castle they saw the Great Doors open in which a slightly bushy haired girl and an elder woman were running out.
"Hi there, Hermione, Professor McGonagall," Harry said when the four people came together, "I brought Draco back with me."
"Hi Professor, Granger," The blond man said"
"Hell Draco," Hermione stated.
"Welcome back Mister Potter and Mister Malfoy," Professor McGonagall replied.
The four people just stood there for a few moments looking from one another in an awkward silence.
Suddenly Professor McGonagall made a attention grabbing noise, "Listen Potter, Malfoy, we have a problem." The elderly woman said in a solemn voice.
"What is it?" The two men asked in unison.
"We'll talk once were back in my office," She replied.
Hermione, Harry, and Draco all followed the newly admitted Headmistress to her office. Once they were there, McGonagall sat down behind her desk.
"So what is the problem professor," Harry asked from beside his blond boyfriend.
Professor McGonagall let out a long sigh, "Hermione, will you please inform Harry and Draco of our situation that has now arisen."
"What's going on Hermione," Harry asked looking at the girl.
"Well the thing is Harry, they found a way to revive Voldemort."
Both boys had a shocked expression on their faces, "What do you mean?" They both asked in unison.
"Exactly what I said," Hermione stated, "they found a way to bring him back from the depths of hell. I've also been doing research and everything I have colleted from it all everything is pointing out bad except one thing."
"Yea, and what might that be?" Draco asked sarcastically.
"Well there is a way that he can be stopped," Hermione replied, "but that is also where I was confused on things."
"What made you get confused," Harry asked. "Your like the best researcher I know."
"Where it said the key and the lock must come together to once again close the gates of hell," Hermione stated.
"Great," Draco muttered, "How in the hell are we going to find this key and lock before Voldemort manage to open the gates."
"Well it said something about a sacred mark and an unfaithful servant can stop the Dark Lord from rising."
"Well this is just great," Harry muttered, "We finally destroy the bastard but he manages to find a loop hole." He said walking across the room to look out the window not showing the occupants in the room the tears that were making their paths down his cheeks.
Draco walked over behind the dark haired boy and wrapped his arms around him, "It's going to be ok love, we'll stop the bastard just like last time"
Harry took in a deep slow breath and slowly released it, "I know, but he's just not supposed to be able to come back. We shouldn't have to be stopping him again."
Harry turned around and gave the blond boy a small kiss and pulled from the embrace and went back to finish talking to the Headmistress and his best friend who were both smirking.
"We need to get as many of the old students back here as fast as possible," Harry stated.
"We've already done that Harry," Professor McGonagall replied.
"You've managed to get them all back here already," Draco said with shock evident in his voice.
"Most of them came back anyway," Hermione said, "But there are still a few out there that haven't."
"Have you figured out a plan of action?" Harry asked.
"No, that is why we called you back," Professor McGonagall replied.
"Well gather all of the students in the Great Hall and from there we will decide a course of action," Harry said.
Professor McGonagall stood up and left the room. Draco walked back over to Harry and placed his hand on the small of the boys back.
"So how are you holding up Granger," Draco asked.
"Not good, every Auror we have has been trying to find out what the Death Eaters have been doing and how they managed to drain the magic out of those wizards." She replied.
"I'm sorry for leaving you all to this…" Harry said but was cut off.
"Don't you dare apologize Harry," Hermione stated, "you needed to leave and find Draco. You look a lot better since the last time I saw you so obliviously Draco is doing something right."
"Geese thanks for the compliment Granger," The blond replied smirking.
"Well I think that we should be heading down to the Great Hall." Harry added.
"Your right," Draco replied.
All three left the Headmistress's office and headed down to the Great Hall. Once they entered they found all students at their house tables. Harry saw McGonagall motion for them to head forward. As they made their way up the isle they heard whispers coming from all around them, "Isn't that the 'Boy Who Lived'" and "Why is a Death Eater here" at that last comment Harry turned to look at his blond companion and saw hurt filling his eyes. Harry slipped his hand into Draco's and heard more whispers going around the room. "What is Harry Potter doing with a Death Eater" "Oh Great Harry has switched sides" Both Draco and Harry had to bite down on their tongues before they said and did anything that they both would regret later. Once they were up at the head table Headmistress McGonagall stood up and motioned for silence.
"We have some good news everyone," The elderly woman began, "Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have both come back to assist us in the fight against Voldemort."
Cheers filled the hall once she was finished speaking, although there were a few gasps and 'No' yelled but they were immediately droned out from the cheering. McGonagall walked over to Harry and Draco and whispered into their ears, "Just do what you had to do last time Harry, Now that you have Draco you two will be put in charge."
"Try and find the older students who have returned," Draco whispered to Harry. The dark haired boy nodded in response.
Both boys nodded at the Headmistress and walked to the front so they could speak. They both scanned around the room searching for the few people who had come back to help in the defense of Hogwarts. Once they had picked out their candidates they both motioned for silence and the Hall quickly grew quiet.
Harry began speaking once every student was quiet, "I already know what the situation is and it really upsets me to find out that Voldemort can come back, but that is why Draco and I are both here. We have both decided to come back and help you fight him off once again. Now I have already picked leaders who are going to help assist me in this fight, as I'm sure Draco has picked his candidates to lead in the fight.
"I will start calling the names who will be group leaders for the defense, Ron Weasley, Cho Chang, both Fred and George Weasley. Will you all please come stand up front."
Harry nodded to the blond boy and he began to call out his names, " Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Luna Lovegood, and Cormac McLaggen."
Draco watched as Harry give him a strange look before he looked back towards the hall and listened to the dark haired boy speak, "Now, when the first attack begins I want all the first through fourth year students to go down to the Slytherin dormitories." Groans from around the hall sounded out, especially from the Slytherin table. "I really don't want to hear any complaining, that will be the safest place for you when we are attacked. Now DA members I want you all to join into these groups, how you do it, I really don't' mind but I just want members in each and every group, so now get there"
Both Harry and Draco watched as DA members stood up from around the room and head to one of the ten members. Harry watched as Hermione went into a group with Ron, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, and Pavarti and Padma Patil. He saw Ginny join her twin brothers group who contained boyfriend's girlfriends, Alicia Spinnet, and Angelina Johnson. Neville went with Luna and a few other Ravenclaws. Once all the fifth year through seventh year were situated Harry turned to Draco with a amused look on his face.
"What's so funny?" Draco asked.
"Just how fast they organized into the groups, I thought we were going to have some problems but it really is going to work out," Harry replied.
"At least they went to groups that they work well with," Draco added.
Each group had between five and ten students each.
"Now, we will also have the aid of Aurors once they arrive. Hopefully they will be able to attack from the back while we take them on from the front. Now Madame Pomfrey has the infirmary ready for students and if they injuries are serious enough she and a few helpers will have a portkey that will take them straight to St. Mungos. Now here is where I want all groups situated, Fred and Georges groups will be both waiting in the Main Hall, Ron I want your group to guard Gryffindor Tower, I have a feeling that dementors will be attacking, and if they have anyone try flying I want you to be there to meet them ok. Cho, I want your group to do the same in Ravenclaw tower."
Once Harry was finished speaking Draco began, "Vincent, I want your group to guard Slytherin dorms, Luna your group is to come from the Great Hall to aid us and the rest of you will be situated in the Main Hall." The whole time Draco was speaking Harry was pondering a few things.
"I've changed my mind on something, Fourth years, you will also be aiding in the fights, but you will be behind each group. You will help them magically but if a member needs to go to the infirmary then you will be the ones to do it while another fourth year takes over. Now I know most of you have been to the DA meetings so you will all need to use what you have learned. Third years, you will need to defend the younger students. The professors will also be aiding in our fight, I want two professors situated in each tower and one down with the younger students. Two of you will need to be stationed with the Great Hall's group while the rest of you will be fighting in the Main Hall. We must not let them push us back. Also Draco if you don't mind but I'm going to have Cormac McLaggen's group stationed at the top of the Grand Staircase just in case one of the tower groups fail, then that group will hopefully hold them off from attacking us, also just in case a few stragglers break off and try and attack the tower groups from behind."
"Not at all Potter, I was just pondering that myself," The blond stated with a smile.
Just as Draco finished speaking that last sentence a loud explosion was heard from one of the outer wards. Headmistress McGonagall stood up, "Harry, Draco, they just breached the outer wards, we only have about ten minutes before they breach the next set."
"EVERYONE TO YOUR POSITIONS!" Harry yelled.
All of the students left and began heading to their places. Most of the group were filing into the Main Hall way preparing for battle. Professor Grubby-Plank and Madame Hooch followed the Ravenclaw tower group while Professor Slughorn and Professor Black headed for the Gryffindor tower. Professor Trelaweny headed down with the younger students and Professor Sprout went with the Great Hall Group. Both Remus Lupin, and Alastor Moody who had flooed in went into the Main Hall along with Tonks, Hagrid, Professor Flitwick, and Headmistress McGonagall. Madame Pomfrey and Madame Pince left to the infirmary. Once everyone was situated in their positions they heard another explosion letting them know that there only had the last wards to get through before they were able to get inside.
Harry and Draco were close to Ron's group and were standing close to Hermione when she spoke out to them, "Listen guys, if what I think is right we can let them start this ritual. They obliviously have the blood that they need because they had to do some things to it magically, so we can let them drop the blood or the spell will start and hell will open up."
"Are they going to do it in here?" Draco asked.
"I believe so," Hermione stated, "This is where Voldemort died, so I think they will do it here."
Harry nodded and looked at Draco, "We understand."
