Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
(BSC 5 C45) C173 Battle of the Lords 2.
Lord Voldemort looked on as Severus was slowly getting back to his feet. He stumbled a little as his body twisted from the Pain. He had another look at the two teens and smiled as he frowned at the same time. Pansy was still having that look of pleasure when she saw someone in pain. Draco could not really look at it. At first, he liked the way Pansy looked and enjoyed it. Now, however, he could see that there was something wrong with this girl. She had a lot of trades Bellatrix also had when she was younger. He knew she had it because she had been following the will of the Lord of her house. Pansy on the other hand didn't have that compulsion and was entirely doing it out of her own free will. Her mind was definitely twisted, even more than the mind of Bellatrix ever was.
Now that the brothers Lastrance had been killed because that was how he saw it. He could also see that Bellatrix was somehow changing a lot. She was still this ruthless person that could kill you for just looking at you in the wrong way. Now she was even more dangerous because she wasn't as crazy acting as she normally would. Her little baby speech was only coming out when she was mad and that alone promised pain and a lot of it. "Bellatrix you take Pansy and Draco to the other room and tell them what they had done wrong".
Bellatrix nodded as a little smile crawled onto her face. Just as she was about to leave the room she felt the hand of Narcissa on her arm. Bellatrix looked at her and waited for what her sister was about to say. "Please take care of Draco. He is unsure and if you can save him do it".
Bellatrix looked at the door where Draco had just walked out off. "The only thing I can do is frighten him even more. Otherwise, he will not listen. He has to feel what it is like to be hurt. You have done everything else. Yes, he is hesitating but his main focus is on becoming his deadbeat father". Narcissa thought for a moment, she knew her sister was right. To save her Draco, he needed to be taught the other way. Her feelings for her son had left her a long time ago all thanks to her husband. The words from Nolwenn had been haunting her for a long time. She knew she loved him but never felt like a mother to him. but then again she never had the time to bond to him like a mother. It brought back the memory of Lily hugging her son. Harry held his mum closely, but his eyes showed something like fear because he just didn't know how to react to it. It had hurt Lily but Lily did understand and knew she had to rebuild the bond between mother and son. So maybe Bellatrix could do the same and she could start building the bond with Draco. So after a nod, Bellatrix went After Draco and Pansy to the room of pain as she called it.
While Severus started to tell all about the upcoming meeting, Bellatrix closed the door behind her and locked it. Pansy screamed something but found herself lifted from the floor and stuck to the wall. Draco looked at his aunt with big eyes and knew she knew. It was only a second later he was sticking next to Pansy looking in fear. "Draco knows what I'm about to do. His father has done it to Potter".
"The Dark Lord will kill him he is nothing" Pansy snapped.
Bellatrix stepped closer and looked Pansy in the eye. With the back of her hand, she struck the little bitch across the cheek and laughed at her. While her hand went past she immediately turned it around and smacked her other cheek. "Yes the Dark Lord is stronger but your actions just put a dod on you. You really think you are good enough to defeat potter". Pansy hesitated for a second and then nodded in confirmation. Her nods were answered whit another couple of slaps against her face. "Let me make myself clear," Bella said as she got even closer to the little bitch. "Lucius has mistreated Potter for twenty minutes. After it Potter got free and he won from Lucius making him run for the hills. Now you think you can beat Potter, then you do the same".
The next thing Bellatrix heard was a scream of pain that sounded through the whole house, making a lot of Death Eaters winced in pain at the thought of Pansy screaming so hard. The next scream that filled the house was the one of Draco that was even harder than the one of Pansy a moment before it.
Bellatrix had just cut them each three times and walked up to Pansy and Draco. "Now listen here the both of you. Potter has gone through twenty of these and didn't scream out like the pussy's you were just now. I will put you through another seventeen of these and if you can break free and attack me. Then I might think you can go toe to toe with him but by the sound of your scream, you are just as wimpy as the other Death Eaters that are around here". Right after those words, Bellatrix went to work as the house was filled with screamed of pain.
Narcissa had been in her room listening on as Bellatrix cut the both of them. Her sister would make them feel the pain but the cuts would be shallow and fully healed in a moment. It would not be like the cut's Harry had that left a couple of scars. She also knew she had to take her sister back to harry to come at peace with what she was doing now. She had to for the bastard that called himself Lord. But also to keep her cover of being a good woman and not a sadistic lunatic everyone thought she was. Slowly tears started to run over her cheeks as she listened to the screams of Draco and Hoped Harry could keep his Lordship so he could help him see the light As Albus liked to say.

At Potter castle, the adults were in on something that was Selden seen. An ancient-looking house-elf had poped in front of Harry and bowed deeply. "My King" he started.
Harry dropped to his knees and was almost eye to eye with the Elf. "I'm just Harry, Phillipe you know that".
"Not this time my king, as the head of the Hogwarts elves, need to help you in the way I was trained". Harry just stood there and didn't know what to say. He was soon joined by Zanita, Neville, Daphne and Susan. Zanita placed an arm around him and told the elf to explain. Phillipe smiled a small smile before he spoke. "Yous is good, master, and yous is good, king. House Hogwarts is your house and Headmaster Wiskers is making it a bad school. Pink Woman is doing bad things and now School is turning dark. Yous is good, king and yous need help from your Family. We are Hogwarts elves, and we is a big family". Bella who has stepped to the other side of Harry had a smirk on her face as she asked what he had in mind. The wicked smile on that little face made all of them smirk while the adults swallowed.
It was after almost an hour later Daphne spoke up. "I as heirs to the house of Ravenclaw says it is time to go. Let's go out and asked the family if they are ready to go". the friends all smiled as Minerva looked at Augusta and Grandmere. Grandmere shook her head. Minerva gave a deep sigh and Augusta just laughed at it.
Lily looked at Isabella when Harry stepped between them and said. "Come on mom and mum, time to have some fun".
"This is going to be bad," David said as he started to walk behind them all.
"Be glad it is not directed at us this time?" Sirius remarked and jumped behind Amelia when Susan stopped at looked at him with a pointing look.
Astoria pulled her Girlfriend along and whispered. "I knew he was afraid of you, I think it is time you give him the talk about aunty, you know the one about if you hurt her they will never find his body".
Tracy smacked her on her left butt cheek. "Stop scaring the dog. we just got him housetrained".
Sirius spluttered and was whacked with the daily prophet on the back of his head. When he turned around he looked right into the big eyes of Luna. "Bad Dog, don't bark at the lady" and Luna walked on. Fleur and Apoline were holding themselves standing by holding on to Amelia because the three of them were laughing so hard.
When they got outside they saw everybody standing there ready to go to Hogwarts. Lily looked at it all. her memories from the painting told her all about it. But they were only the memories from the room where that painting was in. Now that she saw the family she just stopped and looked at her son and his friends. Harry stepped on and Isabella grabbed her arm. ".Yes, they have thought about everything and we are just going along for the ride".
"We can't be a part of this can we," she asked a little hurt.
Isabella shook her head. "Not really no, they do talk to us and ask our advice, but most of all they just go with it and just do what is right".
"Are they really as bad as I think"?
Isabella laughed hard and Minerva even harder as she also stepped next to her daughter pulling her close against herself. "No,... "They are even worse. Let just say they called a blood feud on every magical in the Witengamot just because a pink toad called Susan an bitch". Lily stopped and just gazed open-mouth to her mum. "He that was the nices thing they had done. hurt someone and they go all out. Harry almost killed Voldemort with a little rock. that is just the day to day stuff".
Lily had just taken a couple of steps and stopped again. When she looked at the friends all smiling at her she just said one thing. "Someone put me back in the ground, I'm too old for this".
"Let's just sit at the side and watch the show, " Alice told her as she pulled her friend to the side of the Family and found a place between the family. While Daphne was holding a speech Minerva was walking around giving a lot of people Portkeys to the grounds of Hogwarts. The Witenagemot meeting would be at one so they left at two-thirty. They had some planning to do and were fashionably late.
#*
Albus had made sure that every member had come to Hogwarts and that every student had their lunch and had left the great hall. Just as the members of the Witenagemot sat down the voice of the Head Elf Phillipe sounded through the whole castle. "All students return to the Great hall. No more Lessons today". it was repeated a couple of times before Albus screamed for the head elf to come to him.
When Phillipe popped in front of him he was about to speak when Umbridge jumped in. "Now hear here you little" that was as far as she got. Phillipe snapped his little fingers. "Mistress Susan said, Pink toad no says over house-elves here". and the mouth of Umbridge was taped shut. Fudge jumped up and tried to pull the tape from her mouth but it did not go. Umbridge was pointing to him to pull hard so Fudge placed his foot on her chest and pulled with all his might. Phillipe had been watching from the side and knew his mistress Susan would love this joke. He snapped his fingers and the tape was gone. Fudge stumbled to the stage and right onto the floor. Umbridge stumbled back right into Lucius Malfoywho had just made his way to Albus to tell him to start. Lucius Malfoy was pushed right into Albus and fell right into Albus knocking him and his throne over. The great hall had slowly filled with students and they were all laughing as hard as they could.
As Albus untangled himself from Lucius, the house-elves were expanding the great hall even more and started to place over a hundred or so more seats around the great hall like stands in a stadium Albus got to his feet and looked around. "What are you doing," he asked the head elf.
"Queen Hogwarts told us to make seats for all students and family of our king".
"They are not part of the Witangemot so they have no say in it. Nor are they allowed to be here at this meeting" Fudge screamed.
Phillipe popped in front of him and pointed his little finger in his chest. "This house Hogwarts not house Fudge. You here you listen or yous is out" Phillipe snapped at Fudge before he popped away. Albus was waving his wand all over the place but whatever spell he used, did not work. The seats were still being placed and were slowly put up row after row after row. In front of each chair, there appeared a little table that was filled with small bites to enjoy while you were looking on.
Albus had given up and gone back to his throne-like chair as he looked at all the members of the Witangemot with some empty seats. He looked at the clock and was shocked when it was already half-past two. As his mouth opened the doors opened and Phillipe the head elf walked in. "I'm here to announce the family of King Hogwarts".
Umbridge jumped up when the only thing she saw walking in were Veela's, Goblins, werewolves and centaurs. Again she reacted like the bigot she was and was about to scream about the disgrace. Phillipe had non of it and banished her inside a seethrough box where she could shout as loud as her heart desired. As the family sat down Phillipe spoke again. "Lady Alice Longbottom from the house of Long Bottom and the representing Lord Longbottom, Lady Augusta Long Bottom.
Frank looked up when his family's name was called out but frowned when Neville wasn't called. He turned to Albus and heard him say "See no respect at all for the old ways of". Umbridge jumped in her box but none heard her only saw her screaming. Frank didn't nod and looked back to his mother. While he took a closer look he could see she was wearing the Lord's ring but not the real one. She was wearing the one that told her she was replacing the Lord. This again told him that Neville had to be the lord and he had another role in all of this. So the only thing he could do was sit down and look on as others started to walk into the great hall.
Phillipe had been standing next to the door and was introducing every member of the family. First, he called on Lord and Lady Greengrass. Then Bones with only Amelia walking in just like Augusta had done. After it, he called on the Delacourse. The next that followed was Lord Black and Sirius walked in with a grin. When McGonagall was called the great hall was shocked. Not only was Minerva walking into the great hall. No, next to her was Lily Potter/ Evens/ McGonagall.
This time it was James that jumped up and screamed at Lily. "You are not allowed to walk next to her. Your place is beside me, your husband".
Lily stopped and only looked at her husband. She knew the memories from the painting had told it all. She also knew that he hadn't been there yet, or he would not be sitting next to Albus. Albus still had his power over him and she had none of it. "Open your eyes and stop this foolishness. If you think and look you might see the light that isn't shining out of that wrinkled old ass that is sitting next to you" and Lily pointed at Albus. "Either you learn today or I will ask to be cast out of the family".
James gaped at her and sat back down. The last thing he expected was Lily going against him. This was a thing that should be handled within the family. Albus was of no help and now was the time he mists his father to handle these things.
It was a shock to the Great hall when Phillipe introduced the next pair. "The leader of Gringotts and his wife". Everyone gazed at the doors as Bogrod stepped inside with Harriet to his side holding his arm, surrounded by six fully armed guards. Some of the members of the Witangemot stepped aside when Bogrod stepped down the middle. He laughed his teeth wide and gazed at James and Frank. He stopped in front of Albus and just waited.
Albus spoke to him but Bogrod didn't say a thing back and just kept on waiting. Phillipe spoke again and Hogwarts knew it was about to begin.
"Heirs Hufflepuff, Miss Susan Hufflepuff/ Bones".
"Heirs Ravenclaw, Miss Daphne Greengrass".
"Heir Slytherin, Lord Neville Longbottom".
The friends walked in and were followed by their other friends including the members of house Hogwarts. The last to enter were Harry and Zanita, they, however, were stopped by the other house-elves. Harry frowned but then started to laugh softly. The house-elves that were walking in front of them were rolling out a red carpet. Harry wanted to walk into the great hall again but was stopped for a second time by the head elf. Zanita held on and whispered he had to wait. Back in time, the founders had made a special kind of magic when they had created her. Ze could not tell what it was but she knew the house-elves knew.
The suspense was killing the people in the great hall and all wondered why it took Harry and Zanita zo long to enter. Phillipe walked to the middle of the great hall and nealed towards Albus and the others. He mumbled something none could hear or understand but Albus was sure he was praising him. Suddenly there was a rumble so hard that everyone had to cover their ears. Albus and the others were pushed aside as the wall behind the head table and throne of Albus started to open. What everybody saw was a painting with five chairs painted on it.
Albus stood and looked on as he lifted his wand. Because he thought it would be something bad. Before he could utter a spell something washed over him as other house-elves took his wand from him after they had frozen him on the spot. Phillipe stood and spoke clearly as he said. "Let us welcome the founders and the first king Of Hogwarts.
Lord Gryfindor.
Lord Slytherin.
Lady Hufflepuff.
Lady Ravenclaw.
And our first King, king Merlin".
The four founders walked into the painting and were slowly followed by Merlin as they sat down. Phillipe turned around. "Now let us all welcome. Queen Hogwarts. Lady Zanita Potter/ of Hogwarts.
King Harry James Potter of Hogwarts. Lord Potter, Hogwarts, Peverell and Lord Gryffindor, Harry James Potter". James heard it all and looked down. Harry was not only Lord Potter but he had become Lord Peverell and Gryffindor. He himself had become Lord Potter. He never was worthy enough to be Lord Peverell or Lord Gryfindor. His father was and therefore the bloodline had died out. At least that was what he had thought when he didn't get it. So either it had been placed in stasis or Harry had really gone dark and took it with a ritual. Something that was forbidden to do because it was blood magic.
Slowly Harry and Zanita were making their way to the middle of the hall and walked on to the painting. Before the painting, they kneeled and bowed deeply at the founders and the first king of Hogwarts. Merlin got to his feet and in a shaky voice, he told them to carry on. The moment he said it Phillipe snapped his little fingers and on the spot, Albus had been sitting the floor opened again and two thrown's raised up out of the floor. Albus started to walk towards it but was stopped by Phillipe who held him in his place. "Those is not for yous, those are the thrones for our King and Queen, not an old man".
Harry was feeling all the eyes of the great hall on him and he wanted to go to the side. Zanita held on to him and pulled him along softly. "This is your house and your land. They have no say over you. If your father gets his Lordship back you will still be king Hogwarts".
"The worst part is. If he would have just asked me he would have got it. I don't care about being a Lord but he does. And everything about this just sounds too much like Albus is playing another part in it".
Zanita looked sadly at Harry who sat down next to her. "Just go with it, Harry. if he wants to fight for it, you just give him hell. You are King Hogwarts it is you not him. He never was and never worth being because he was not chosen. You were not because you are his son but for who you have become. You are the King and you are defending your house. the house of Peverell and the house of Gryffindor".
Harry turned and looked at the painting behind him. Merlin looked at him the moment he looked back. As he did it the others did too. Their eyes didn't say a lot but the magic that came from the painting did. It washed over him like a warm blanket. It gave him a feeling of peace and fulfilment. It all became clear He didn't need the Lordship of Potter to be Harry. He didn't need the other Lordships to be Harry. His friends didn't need theirs. The only thing they needed was each other and their family. Their titles were only there to get what they wanted. To play their game in their own way. He didn't need his titles for himself. No, he needed the titles for the family. He needed the titles for the war. If he wasn't Lord Potter he needed Lord Potter standing next to him. James showed he wasn't standing next to him but he was standing next to Albus. So he needed to be Lord Potter for everyone. His eyes were still locked on the eyes of Merlin who just looked back. Merlin whispered my King and looked up into the great hall.
Phillipe had looked at it all and popped in front of Minister Fudge. "You are free to proceed. If something goes wrong I will take yous out" and Phillipe disappeared.

Severus was still twitching as he walked onto the grounds of Hogwarts with Pansy and Draco next to him. Bellatrix had done a job on them and they still needed to be heald by Poppy. He himself was twitching every other step. Behind him was Narcissa walking like the trophy wife she was. She didn't care for his godson. She never did. Lucius had told him so. He was his godfather and he needed to take care of him because Narcissa didn't do it.
Narcissa was sad that her sister had to do this but the Draco that had come out of the room had been one of fear and thought. She could see that her sister had hurt them, but still the cuts were nothing and could be heald in a spell. A spell only known by Healers and herself. She had to smile a little. She hated to see him hurt but he had to know. He had to know how it would be if he would let Voldemort rule the world.
Severus had reached the front door of the castle and saw it was closed. It was the first time it was closed at this time of day. So with nothing left to do he knocked and waited for what was to come. His eyes went over to Draco and Pansy. Draco was sad but Pansy was mad. He didn't know what to think of it because before he could create a thought the door opened. Severus looked down and saw an elf just standing there looking up at him. "Get out of the way Elf" Severus snapped.
The elf looked up and before Severus could go on the elf snapped his fingers and apparated them all to the middle of the great hall. Albus saw him but it was Susan who spoke up. "You're late" she snapped at him.
"Severus has got my full trust," Albus called out from his side of the great hall.
"How many times do we have to tell you we do not care if he has you whatever" Susan snapped. "You all have been sticking your heads in the sand and screaming you know best but are ruining everything behind you. You have made a mockery of wizarding Britain. Muggle-borns have no rights. Goblins have even less. Bigotry is the biggest part of all of this. And the biggest of them are sitting in the Witangemot".
"Sussan" Amelia screamed.
"Sorry there are exceptions," she said very fast to save a little face with her aunt. "So for you Albus to many names Bumbelldora".
"That is Warlock Dumbelldora" Umbridge screamed as she finally got rid of the box she was in.
"Most of the students laughed at that, but Susan just went on. "So Dumbles, instead of telling us you trust that thing, why not tell us why you do. Is it because he is a Death Eater. Is it because he has some hold over you, or is he just your plaything".
Some of the Witangemot members gasped as they screamed about the outrage of it. Students laughed because they all knew the friends would do it like this they would not back down no matter what. Albus just shook his head as he said the words in his grandfatherly way. "I trust".
"Yes, we know that already" Susan snapped. "We all know you would not tell what it is but let me tell you something else. Those two who are with him just made a grave mistake. They might be students at Hogwarts but what they have done was on Hogwarts Land falling under Hogwarts laws. That Pink bitch might have made".
"How dare you" Umbridge screamed, "We at the ministry".
"There is no ministry here you pink toad. This is Hogwarts and this is Hogwarts lands. You might save them from being punished at school, But it does not help you from keeping them being punished by Hogwarts Laws".
Draco paled while Pansy just sneered at her. She pulled her wand and pointed it at Susan. Umbridge smiled at the thought of Susan being blasted against the other wall grumbling to her death. Some of the Darkside had the same ideas and were waiting for Pansy to shout her spell. The moment she did a lot of things happened at the same time. Albus stood and lifted his hand as she screamed at her to not do it. Amelia screamed and jumped to warts Susan knowing she was still too far away. Zanita just looked up as she felt the bond between her sister wives and Harry telling her what she needed to know.
The spell left the wand of Pansy and everybody watched it go towards Susan in a straight line. Harry as the king could apparate inside of Hogwarts just like Albus and his grandmother could. Bella Could not but Daphne could because she was one of the heirs of Hogwarts. Harry apparated in front of Susan as he threw up a spell. Daphne appeared next to Pansy and did something none had ever seen before. A knife the size of her hand went into the left of her neck keeping Pansy standing instead of dropping in a heap on the floor. Harry saw the spell and at the last minute, he really saw it. With fast hands, he dropped the shield and conjured a little shield that stopped the AK Pansy had shot at Susan.
Pansy was breathing hard as the blood started to drip from the knife. Harry didn't wait and charged at Pansye as he also pulled a knife. He was closely followed by Bella Hermione and Neville. They all had the same idea and five knives sunk into the body of Pansy dropping her to the ground.
Witenagemot members screamed while Susan just stood there shocked. The only thing she felt, were the arms of Astoria draping around her while she thought about the last moment of her life that had just flashed before her eyes.
Members of the Witangemot were screaming for their heads while Harry just dropped down picking up the wand of Pansy. Minerva had her hand in front of her mouth as Lily just looked on in shock. Slowly Harry got up and walked towards Amelia who was standing next to fudge and Albus. He held out the wand and told her in a clear voice to perform Prier Incantatum.
Everyone looked on As Amelia performed the spell as they waited to see the last five spells come out of the wand. The first spell and the last she used was the Avada spell. The one before that was the Imperius. Then there was a cutting curse that was on the edge of illegal. What made people look on was the Crusio curs that followed before another Imperio. It was the last five spells and they were the only five spells the spell could call back.
Harry had walked back to the body of Pansy when Lord Parkinson stood. "I want him sent to Askaban" he screamed as he pointed at Harry.
The others stepped around Harry in a protective way but he had none of it. Harry looked back and the only thing he had was hate running through his body. "You want me sent to Azkaban. Why not explain to us how your daughter was throwing around unforgivable's like there was nothing else".
Lord Parkinson spluttered but was saved by Albus who spoke for him. "Harry, I'm afraid you are going dark. The way you just took a life tells me that the darkness is taking you over". Some of the Witangemot members were nodding along.
The friends knew they could not hold Harry back so they just stepped next to him. Tonks, Tracy and Luna had joined them as they looked at the members that were sitting behind Albus. Slowly they saw a couple of students standing up trying to make their way to the. Harry told them to wait as he looked back to Albus. His voice was hard and didn't leave any room to be misunderstood. "So, we protected one of our own from death and killed a person who uses unforgivable's like there is no tomorrow, and after all of that, you are calling me Dark.
"Harry my boy. Taking a life".
"I'M NOT YOUR BOY OLD MAN" Harry shouted hard. "And who do you think you are talking to me about taking a life. Look around you. Almost a quarter of the members of the Witangemot are Death Eaters and they had to kill for the mark. Still, they are sitting there teaching their children how to throw unforgivable's and you talk to me about taking a life".
Susan was still shaking like a leaf and was almost catatonic by the thought of losing her life, only a couple of minutes ago. She had not joined the friends and when she was about to she was pulled back by her aunt. "You stay here, they can handle this on their own" she whispered softly. Susan wanted to say something but Amelia shushed her.
Phillipe the head elf had popped behind the friends and placed the body of Pansy into a coffin. After it all, he had popped it to Malfoy manner. It was the place they all were staying as the Parkinson Maner was rebuild. Daphne had seen it and placed her hand on the arm of Harry, He gave her a soft nod and she spoke. "Lord and Lady Parkinson, According to the old laws we were in our right. When the unforgivable is used you can and are allowed to protect yourself and your loved ones in any way you can. You are even allowed to kill the person who did it. As you all have seen She threw the spell and we protected Lady Hufflepuff in the way we saw fit. Now, Lord and Lady Parkinson, we have placed the body of Pansy in a coffin and have sent it to Malfoy Manor. We know you are staying there so you are free to leave".
Lord Parkinson jumped over his little table and charged at the friends. His want was in his hand as he threw the first spell he could think of. The Avada curse was again sent into their direction. But before anyone could react Lily had jumped in between as she conjured a wall to catch the spell. Dan Granger had also jumped after Lily and placed a round of his handgun through the back of the head of Lord Parkinson.
Lord Parkinson dropped to the floor as his body was turned around by the blast of the gun. Every wizard looked on as a muggle had taken the life of a wizard in a blink of an eye. Fudge looked on and splutters as he gaped at Dan Granger that was reported to be dead. "You are dead" Umbridge screamed as she too pulled her wand. Zanita closed her eyes and before someone else could do something they were all released from their wands that landed in the middle of the great hall. Some wanted to scream but the power Zanita radiated as she walked onto the floor stopped them all. She went over to the friends and looked them all in the eyes. The things she saw told her enough and she turned around. "We will stop it for today and resume this tomorrow. Let it be known that everything that happened here is according to the old ways and laws. If you find something that goes against it let me make another thing very clear. This is Hogwarts Land and it has Hogwart Laws. Tonight there will be help for everyone who needs it. The battle of the Lordship of the Potters will restart Tomorrow morning at nine".
Wizards left as Minerva told the Veelas and the Werewolves to take the Muggles home or to Potter castle if they wanted to be here tomorrow. House-elves would be placing little tents for everyone to sleep in".
The friends had not moved and only turned around to each other as they looked in the eyes of each other. None had noticed the Great hall had emptied out and the Adults had stepped behind them. Lily had stepped next to her mother and whispered. "What is happening right now" as she looked at the friends who just stood there.
"This was their first kill, and they have to come to the realization of their action before we can step in. Dan has told us that realization was the first step in handling the trauma". Minerva said as she too looked on. The mothers had stepped behind their children as they waited.
Daphne was the first who started to show signs that she came out of her shock. Slowly tears started to well up in her eyes as she stepped closer to Harry, "We have killed her" She whispered as the tears build up further. None of the other friends said a thing and only took Daphne in a group hug as they all started to cry. When the adults heard some things hitting the floor they knew the friends had still been holding on to the knives they had used.
Lily took one of them from the floor and looked at it. It was clear that it was Goblin made and she looked over at Harriet who stepped closer. She took the knife from the hands of Lilly and said. "They have been preparing for war for almost four years now. We the Goblins have trained them that's why the kill was fast. there is no place for us in this fight anymore".
Lily knew why they had done it. there was no way she could go against it. She had seen flashes of it in her time but it still hurt her they had to kill while they were this young. She had done it too and she was still dealing with it. It was also now she realized it had become their fight and they would only be in their way. Her mum had told it and she too would stand aside waiting for them to call on them for help.
They all came out of their daze when there was a scream of pain coming from all their friends. Everyone turned around and were stumbling as the friends all rushed to them for help and protection like only a parent could do. The only one who didn't was Harry. Lily wanted to rush to him but was stopped by Minerva. Slowly Minerva shook her head with tears in her eyes. "Don't that will only make him close down further?" Minerva told her.
Lily just looked at her and then at Harry, "But he needs me".
Minerva shook her head slowly. "Yes he does but not in this way, He has been through a lot Lily, He doesn't trust all of us. And the ones he does have to be careful in doing things. His trust is easily shattered and so we just have to wait for him to come to us".
Again Lily wanted to do something but was stopped by Serius. "No, Lils, Harry has to do it his own way. We will just push him back if we step in".
Nolwenn had been writing it all down and looked up after the scream. Her eyes drifted to all the friends rushing into the arms of their loved ones. The only one who stood back had been Harry. As her eyes looked deeper into the eyes of Harry she saw all the signs of fleeing from the site. She got to her feet and was stopped by a hand. her eyes left Harry's and gazed at the hand. That hand belonged to Narcissa who looked at her. Be careful.
Nolwenn nodded and smiled a soft smile. "He will not hurt me". First, she walked a couple of meters in front of him and waited until he looked back. As she stepped closer to Harry, she looked him right in the eyes. "Want to take a walk, kid". Harry nodded as he looked up at her. She took his arm and started to walk out of the great hall. She was stopped by Zanita at the door who only told her they would be at Potter castle.
This was it again for this time. See you all in two weeks.
Gr Winmau.
