When Harry and Neville returned to the group, they opened the box. It filled with light and then Harry and the others appeared at the castle's front door. Harry looked around. The city looked full of life with many blacksmiths busy.
"About time you guys got here," said a voice from behind them. Frankie the Fair walked from the doorway up to them. "I have been preparing our forces for the final battle. The cloud is coming closer." Frankie said as he pointed towards the horizon, the dark cloud that always followed Death Army, was there, hanging with an eeriness that made Harry uneasy.
"You know," Ron said. "If we saw what are future selves looked like then we already know that we will win."
"Not entirely," Hermione said. "They could just be a trick."
"I like Ron's idea," Ginny said sarcastically. Everyone else agreed. Frankie looked at all of them and pointed to their robes.
"Where is your armor?" he asked.
"We don't need it," Harry said. "What is the projected time on when they will arrive?"
"Tomorrow," Frankie said. "The giants are still here, are army is in disarray."
"What do you mean?" Hermione said.
"We have no commander," Frankie said as he took them inside. "We need some one to command the army."
"How many troops do we have?" Harry asked.
"A bit over a thousand well trained troops," Frankie said.
"That's it," Ty said. Frankie nodded and led them into the dinning room where they meet Lupin and the others. They looked a bit beat up but still in high sprits.
"Please tell me you got it," Tonks said as she nursed a cut on Lupin's back. Harry nodded and held up the cutlass.
"Great job Harry," Mrs. Weasley said as she hugged him and the rest of the kids.
"Well you guys best rest up," Lupin said . "We will need all of you guys tomorrow."
"Right," Harry said as he lead them up to their old rooms. "Goodnight everyone,"
"Night," Ginny said as she dragged a tired looking Neville into their room. Ron and Hermione smiled to Harry and both walked into their rooms.
"This might be our last night," Luna whispered to Harry, Harry smiled down at her.
"Lets not waste it then," Harry answered back and they walked back into giant room.
The morning seemed to come way too soon. Harry stared out the window at the giant storm cloud that loomed outside. He felt Luna shift her head on his chest and Harry was brought back to his senses. He touched her soft skin with his hands lightly brushing her shoulders. She shuddered a bit when he reached a ticklish spot. Luna raised her head and looked Harry in the eye.
"Ready," She asked. Harry nodded and got up and Luna followed. Harry looked over and saw his armor form the first time he was there sitting ready to be put on. He raised his wand and said the spell. The armor magically mounted itself on Harry while Luna did the same thing. Harry and Luna walked out where they were meet by the others that were all wearing armor.
"You guys this is it," Harry said as he walked forward. There was a loud explosion out side. "Never stop moving if you get knocked down keep fighting. And try to stay together."
"Can we still play the game," Neville asked lighting up the mood. Harry laughed a bit and nodded. "Yeah, we should."
Harry and the others walked down the stairs and where met by the entire army that was protecting the castle. They all bowed as they approached. Harry and the others walked outside to see what could be made of their current predicament.
"I say we split up," Ron said. "Four with Four you know, The guys can lead the main army north to attack the middle while the girls take the giants and the archers west. They will attack on the given signal and we will corner most of the enemy in the east were the cliffs are. Once we got them over there we will have Neville with the captains cutlass and the rest is history."
"That easy," Ginny said. Ron nodded. "Fine but we might need more troops."
"Ginny's right," Hermione said. "The numbers are just against us. Neville what is wrong with your ring?"
Neville looked down at the captains ring and noticed it was glowing bright Red. Harry's was too.
"What's happening," Harry said as the rings fell off and began moving around each other.
The rings made a giant portal that was silverfish. Harry touched it, it was slimy but on the other side was cool and wet. Harry put his head threw. It was back to where the Captain was. He was smiling at Harry who was still tring to comprehend everything. The Captain stood up and rang a large bell and started to shout.
"Everyone we're going to battle," The captain said. "When you need us raise the sword to the water and we'll be there."
"Thank you," Harry said as he pulled his head back out. The others just looked at him oddly. The rings stopped spinning and went back to Neville and Harry. "We have more troops just follow Ron's plan and we should have a chance."
"That's not all," Ty said looking at the giants walking up with what looked like a giant dragon. "Is that a dragon?"
"Tiger of the Sea this is Merlin," Swack said very calmly. "HE IS FRIEND. HIM AND HIS FRIENDS WILL HELP IF THEY CAN SHARE THE WEST MOUTAINS WITH US."
"It's a deal," Ty said. "Merlin what are your other friends if you don't mind my asking so we don't make a mistake."
"Very wise you are," The dragon said with a deep mystic voice. "IF you will follow me." Merlin said as he walked back over the hill that Swack was now descending upon. Once Ty and the others made it over the hill they where astonished.
"Are those Crumble Horned Snorkacks," Hermione asked. Luna nodded and corrected her translation. There was not just those but dragons, Griffins, Hippogriffs, trolls, and more.
"Wait this could work," Ron said to Merlin. "Can we ride on the Hippogriffs?"
"Yes," Merlin said. "They are offering to fight too. WE ask that each of you can chose one of use to use during the battle instead of a horse."
Harry and the others walked down into the group of animals. Hermione chose to ride a hippogriff as did Ginny and Jenny. Luna chose a crumble horn and Neville chose a type Fire horse that seemed to glow when he was on him. Harry giant white wolf that was sparking electricity everywhere while Ron chose to ride upon Merlin. Ty picked giant tiger that was roaring loudly.
"Now that we have transportation," Harry said. As he guided the wolf towards the others. "The girls can take all of the Centars, Crumble Horns, Hippogriffs, and Griffins with them. That will help with the pushing them towards the cliffs. The giants, trolls and dragons will help down here with all other creature I didn't call."
"Sounds good to me," Ty said. The others nodded. Ron nodded Merlin who turned to the creatures. Slowly the creatures started to split up. Harry guided his wolf over to Luna. He gave her a quick kiss before she took off towards the hills.
"This will be one for the history books," Neville said as the guys rode to the front of the castle.
"I'll have to agree," Ron said. "Once we get them over to the cliffs we will need a some help."
"I got that covered," Harry said. There was a flash of light and thunder came a second latter. "At least it's nice out."
