Chapter 7

Merlin´s POV.

It´s a chaos. People everywhere, magic everywhere, all the screams, roars and cries is deafening. It´s hard to keep an eye at everything. Gwen has gone with the younger children. The knights and Arthur is helping in fighting. Gaius has gone together with the other healers to help there.

Fred and George are both easy to spot, they are holding up good, having each other's backs as always and never very far away from where I am. But it makes me uneasy to not have a good eye of everything at the fight scene. I need more eyes.

I let out my dragon roar and everything seems to still in a minute. No one but Lance and Arthur would know what I´m doing. They are the only two who have heard it before besides from Gaius. Everyone just stares. Then they all seems to come out of their shock and the fights breaks out again. Fred and George is suddenly beside me.

"What was that?" Fred asks in both awe and complete confusion.

"You will see" I answer and in the next moment two big beasts fly over Hogwarts. The dragons. They cannot have been far away.

Kilgharrah´s voice sounds in my head "You called on us old friend".

"I did, I need help to have a better eye on everything. I want as few as possible hurt. From the sky you both can see the scene better than anyone else"

"We will do that, you concentrate on the fight and we will tell if anyone needs you" Aithusa says and thy both fly higher up.

"Wow I have never seen dragons like that before" George and Fred seems to be in complete awe.

"They are here to help. Now let´s win this war" I tell them and they nod.

It doesn´t take long before the death eaters disappear but we all know it´s not over yet. They will be back. Voldemort wasn´t even with them this time.

No cheers are heard instead everything seems to go quiet and the fear and sorrow hangs heavily in the air. We now this wasn´t the end and many are injured but thankfully I have not heard anything about anyone who have lost their live.

As the last death eater disappear I sweep my eyes over the people around me.

"Merlin, you alright?" Arthur and the knights comes up beside me. I´m relieved to see that they all seems to be alright. The spell to shield them from spells and other magic things seems to have done it´s job.

"Yeah" I breathe out. Just when I open my mouth to ask them just to be sure that no one of them are hurt I hear a heart breaking scream full of sorrow. I immediately recognize the scream…Molly Weasley.

Before I know it I´m running in the direction we all heard the scream come from. I hear footsteps behind me. The scene in front of us is horrid. On the ground lies Fred so very still and quiet. Just by his head sits George crying while holding on his brother for dear life. Percy is on Fred other side in a similar position as his brother. Bill and Fleur is close by, Fleur holding her husband trying to comfort him. Molly and Arthur are brokenly staring at their boy lying on the cold ground. I look up to see the golden trio running to the scene.

"No…no...no" the words comes just above a whisper from my mouth. I sink down beside George.

"You can save him right?" George´s voice sounds so broken but a hidden hope lights up in his eyes when he asks me. I wish I could tell him with no doubt that I could but even after all these years I´m not sure if I can heal someone so near death. But I must try. I must try for Fred´s sake, for George´s sake, for Molly, Arthur, Billy, Percy, Ron and every other person who loves Fred… just as I do, he is my brother.

My hand is on Fred´s nearly stopped heart and I let my magic flow.

Arthur´s POV.

As Merlin´s hand reaches the heart on the dying man his eyes goes gold. I hear numerous gasps and muffled cries. Something changes in the air and a feeling of comfort and calm surrounds us. Even the family (my guessing) of the twins calms down and actually looks up.

I´m so caught at the moment that I don´t even notices that Gwen and Gaius has come out before I feel her hand in mine.

We can clearly see the dying one get his colour back and all his injures heal but Merlin goes paler and paler and a sheet of sweat cover his face. Soon Gaius hurries forward to Merlin and lays a hand on his shoulder.

"It´s enough boy, you must stop now" if it hadn´t been so quiet no one had heard Gaius silent words. Merlin doesn´t react.

"Please my boy, he will be fine now. You have helped him" Merlin still doesn´t even seems to hear him.

I let go of Gwen´s hand and crouch down beside my best friend and brother. He´s almost looks grey. I lay my hand on his hand that is over the redhead´s heart. I don´t really know if it´s Fred or George.

"Stop this now that´s an order" I say trying to sound demanding. First it seems like he hasn´t heard me but then his eyes slowly goes back to blue and his hand leaves the now clearly moving chest. Right as Merlin hand leaves the boy´s chest the boy opens his eyes and shocked looks up. Yeah he´s very much alive.

Cries of joy are heard and the two twins embrace each other. I feel Merlin leaning heavily on me but his face is full of relief. Everyone have their turns to hug the just dying young man, or boy he seems to be Merlin´s age. Merlin was the youngest of us but now in one way so much older.

Neither me nor Merlin moves. Gaius still stands just behind Merlin and Gwen has crouched down beside me holding Merlin´s hand. The knights has come closer but still tries not to crowd Merlin.

Suddenly Merlin is dragged away from us and the two twins have their arms around him. I hear them mumble thanks and other things about how they are grateful and own Merlin their lives. We never got to actually thanks Merlin in that way, for everything he did for us. We never knew, we were so blind. I share a look with the others and know they think the same.

Merlin gets many pats on the back and a woman I believe is the twin´s mother embrace him with tears of gratefulness in her eyes.

A few minutes' when all attention has left Merlin he rises, I grab him when he stumbles a bit and I see Gwaine do the same. He looks like he could collapse right there. Gaius worriedly revolves around us.

"Please show me to where all the injured ones are, how many deaths?" Merlin asks Gaius.

"We haven´t lost anyone yet. Merlin you can´t do more for now, you need rest, we are more that can help" Merlin´s seems to be on his way to contradict but quiets down at Gaius look. He then shakes of my and Gwaine´s grips.

"Alright but I must talk to the dragons" And with that he on unsteady legs leaves us standing there looking after him.

A new chapter wow! Sorry that it´s have been a while but I have had a couple of really busy weeks and I have felt pretty down for sometime so that´s some of the reasons it has taken a while.

Now to something completely different I have got some comments on my writing which I´m thankful for because it´s easier for me to get better when people tell me why I´m doing wrong or can do better to develop my writing and my english. One of them gave me the idea of having someone reading through my chapters before I post them and I feel like that would be a really good idea! You see English is not my first language as many of you surely have noticed, I´m actually a swede. Another thing is that I have some difficulties with writing and spelling in even in Swedish and for a long time I had a hard time learning English but I have got better at it and that´s thanks of the reading. So it would be great to have someone reading through the chapters so please pm if you are interested!

Now at last a huge thank you for all the follows, favoriting and reviews!
