AMY
The next morning, I went downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast, but I could not eat. Then, the whole hall was booming with a loud, cold voice. My name is Tiffany Riddle. I am the daughter of Lord Voldemort, and if the following students do not come to the forest and surrender, then I will attack and kill you all. You have been warned. Katrina Malfoy, Cecilia Malfoy, Lily Potter, Rose Weasley, and Amy Lovegood. The hall erupted in a panic, and McGonagall stood.
"Everyone, calm down. Professor Flitwick will lead you all to the train home, unless you are of age, or close to it, and would like to stay and fight. All the students from Slytherin followed Flitwick except for Katrina, and McGonagall turned and told her top hurry along.
"I'm not going. I'm going to the forest with the others," she said as the majority of Hufflepuffs started to move forward to Flitwick. McGonagall looked at her in awe and surprise.
"Do you really think that I would allow five first-years to sacrifice themselves?"
"It doesn't matter if you allow us," Katrina remarked. "We're all going. As most of the Ravenclaw table left, the Headmistress looked in awe at me and Cecilia, who hadn't left, confirming what Katrina had said. A lot of the Gryffindor table left, but, surprisingly, some that didn't even know what was happening stayed. Max Creevey. Teddy Lupin. James. Albus. Hugo. Several seventh-years that I didn't even know. Katrina shouted at us. "Amy, Lily, Rose, Cecilia, we've got to go, now. That or they'll attack everyone else." We all nodded. We had to go. Professor Longbottom stopped us on our way out, panting.
"I can't let anything happen to you girls, I could never forgive myself," he told us. "I promised Harry that I would make sure you all were safe, I can't let you," He told us.
"Professor…"
"Call me Neville, please."
"Neville, we can't. There's something we need to do. My dad had to do what he did, he will understand if we don't make it." Lily told him. Neville opened his mouth and then closed it again. Then, we started to walk into the dark forest, to Tiffany.
We turned a corner, and then we saw two large stumps that had been transfigured to look like thrones, with none other than Tiffany and Bellatrix sitting on them. Cecilia writhed with anger at seeing the latter especially.
"What, itty bitty baby? You sad that your mummy's dead?" Bellatrix teased.
"I'm glad that you have decided to come here. What is your decision. Will you join me, or die, Lovegood?" She asked as she ascended from the throne, taking her wand out of her robe pocket. I looked into her cold, grey eyes and I knew what I had to do. I spat at her feet. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" She shouted, a green light flashing, and hitting me in the chest. Then, everything went black.
CECILIA
Amy lay limply on the ground, and I suddenly was very dizzy. "What about the rest of you?"
"Never."
"Never."
"Never."
"Never." I concluded, looking into her eyes. She aimed the curse this time at Rose and Lily, who were standing next to each other, and I jumped in front of it, letting it hit me in the head. I would be joining Amy and my mum. I had saved two people that mattered more than myself. I felt nothing.
LILY
They were both dead. I kept on looking at Amy, hoping that the spell had been ineffective, as it had been the last time, but that wasn't true. I locked eyes with the evil murderer that was in front of me. "Who would like to die next? What about you, Potter? My dad would like to watch this one, I'm sure." I whipped out my wand. I couldn't let her win. Not after Cecilia had died for me.
"Expelli-"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" I was falling, falling, falling into nothing.
ROSE
Lily. My best friend. My cousin. She was dead. Her beautiful red shiny hair was all over her face, her chest unmoving, her eyes staring and unblinking. It couldn't be fake. This was too real. I ran over and embraced Katrina. "I'm sorry," I told her. She nodded at me. We were all condemned to die.
"Any last words, Weasley? I'm sure because you're so intelligent," she said with a sneer, "That they would be entertaining." I remembered the time that I had visited my grandparents' graves.
"Yes, actually," I told her. "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death,"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" I let the beam of green light hit me. The last thing that ran through my head was "Sacrifices have to be made."
KATRINA
I stood there, alone, the bodies of all of my friends scattered around me. "Katrina, my friend, will you join me? I know you have power, and killing another Slytherin would be such a waste." That comment angered me.
"So, killing me, a Slytherin, would be a waste? What about these four ELEVEN-YEAR-OLDS that you have already killed? You don't think that it's a waste to kill them? Rose was brilliant. Lily was so brave. Amy was unique, odd, and that's what made her amazing. Though I was annoyed by her sometimes, Cecilia was my best friend. It's an insult to say that my life is worth more than theirs were. I was the only one who made the mistake of joining you. I would rather die by your hand then let everyone know that I made that mistake again. My friend Savannah Smith never existed. I'm just sorry that my dad will lose all of his family tonight." I extended my arms outward. "Kill me." I heard her shout the spell as I took one last look at the body of my sister.
?
I crept out of Amy's book bag, and looked at my friend that was in Rose's. Hello! I looked at the ugly ladies that were sitting on big trees, then at the girls lying on the forest floor. Cool, they're having a slumber party! I climbed the tree without the ladies noticing, and sat in the slightly shorter one's hair. Oh, look, something shiny! I bit the shiny purple object, and it turned green and slimy. Was that because I was licking the big tooth thingy in Amy's bag? I jumped out of the tree when the lady made a noise, it sounded like she was screeching in pain. She turned to the other lady and said something. I ran back into the book bag. Oh, look. It's Amy's stick! I will play with Amy's stick because she's sleeping! I held the stick in my teeth and pointed it at the ugly lady. Then, green shiny stuff came out of it and she fell asleep! Missy, do you know why they're having a slumber party in a forest?
MISSY
The girls on the floor all started to stir. They were awake! I jumped on Rose's head. She wasn't very fond of me sitting on her head, and I had no idea why. Her hair was so messy and soft all the time. They all stood up. Hi, Rose! Can we play now?
AMY
I opened my eyes, wondering where I was. Then, I looked around. I was in the forbidden forest, and Bellatrix was gone. Tiffany was dead lying on the ground. Who had killed her? Hadn't I just died? I looked around, and the others started standing up from off the ground in heaps. Had they died, too? I thought. They all seemed to be pondering the same things that I was.
ROSE
We were alive, and we were riding the Hogwarts Express home. We still had no idea who had killed Tiffany. How they had got the barrette. How we had survived. We would have a lot of things to explain to our parents. "I'm sad that we won't see each other all together all summer," said Lily, breaking the awkward silence. Amy had told us earlier in the year that awkward silences kill unicorns.
"It'll be all right, Lily, we'll see each other next year," said Cecilia. We all nodded.
"Maybe next year we won't have to deal with as much craziness, and exams won't be cancelled," I said.
"Don't ruin the moment, Rose, that would be horrid! You just want to get all O's and show off." replied Katrina teasingly. There was a loud "Meow" coming from both of the cat kennels that were in the compartment. I opened them, and let the cats wander around.
"Don't you think it's strange that we found Missy and Dumb Cat in the forest? How did Tiffany and Bellatrix not see them? I wish we could talk to cats. Then we would know exactly who saved everyone by killing Tiffany." As the train came to a stop, we came together in a group hug. We had gone through a lot together that year, and for years afterward, we wouldn't have to deal with anything nearly as exciting and dangerous.
All was well.
Thank you so much for reading until the end! I had the last words be the same as in the Deathly Hallows. I know that the ending was very fast-paced, but I felt like that was what it needed to be.
