Chapter 2
Harry felt his body being laid down on a stone floor by the most gentle hands. He opened his eyes a centimeter to find a destroyed Hogwarts and felt a big tear drop onto his torso. Soon, Hagrid was weeping. Tears streamed down his face like a waterfall and it drenched Harry.
"HARRY!"
"NO!"
"YOU SON OF A..."
"Ronald Wesley no cussing!"
"Mum..."
Here and there, Harry heard people yelling in outage, anguish, grief. There was a loud bang and Voldemort's voce carried out through the premises.
"SILENCE" Voldemort boomed, "YOU FOOLS ARE FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG CAUSE. YOUR GREAT LEADER HARRY POTTER. IS DEAD!"
Almost like it was practiced, the Death Eaters started jeering at the Defenders of Hogwarts. Many of the Death Eaters even shot a few reducto curses into the sky, making loud noises.
"Bow down to me now and I shall spare you and your family. Those who would like to join my ranks please come forward."
There was a short series of shuffling and a few gasps and someone yelled, "NEVILLE NO!"
Harry opened his eyes a bit further to see Neville kneeling on the ground.
"I won't join your ranks, even if it means life. Harry isn't dead, he's alive, inside all of us. He died to protect us. Harry didn't die in vain. But you will."
Voldemort summoned what looked like an old back rolled up cloth and he laid it on top of Neville's head.
The Sorting Hat
"This is an example to what's going to happen to those who don't follow me." Voldemort said triumphantly
Harry knew what was gonna happen and Voldemort pointed his wand at Neville and the Sorting Hat was on fire. Neville, in one swift movement, took of the Sorting Hat, pulled out what looked like a silver pipe and raised it.
"DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY" he roared.
Harry realized that the silver pipe was the Sword of Gryffindor and realized what was going to happen He quickly slipped under his invisibility cloak and stood of to the side.
There was a rebounding cheer just as loud and Neville charged with the rest of Hogwarts behind him. Just then, faint pops sounded from behind the Defenders of Hogwarts inducting members from the Order, almost what looked like half the Auror Department and a few witches and wizards who came as help also charged into battle. In the middle of the commotion, Harry caught sight of Aragogs relatives, the Acromantulas charge in as reinforcements for the Death Eaters, followed by hundreds of Dementors.
Then, with a deadly arc, Neville beheaded Nagini. Voldemort froze and yelled a cry of fury.
