Alrighty then, the 20 installment of this story. Have I told you all how much this story is annoying me because I've developed much more as writer over the past year since I've written this? I can do soooo much better now. Anyway. Here's to you all. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: Dis-meaning not. Claim-meaning to say something is yours. Er- meaning the ending because disclaim sounds stupid as a verb. ex- i'm disclaim this. STUPID! The word is pretty self explanitory. I shouldn't have to add sarcastic way to make it known that I don't own any of this.except of course for the glass of water...

Dedicated to rabbit who has found the fountain of youth and

will be nine this november. He was only supposed to live to be

5. The old thing. He's himilayan. Pure-blood. Heh... interesting.

He makes life seem so simple.

Chapter 20: Dusk

Remus Lupin looked up as a firey bird swooped into the drawing room of Number 12 Grammauld Place. He had been there studying Order business for only twenty minutes.

"Hello Fawkes." He said, recognizing the bird at once. "What brings you here?"

The brilliant bird landed gracefully on the desk and dropped a rolled up parchement in front of the man. Then, it flew over to a small table off to the side and began to drink from a glass of water there.

"What have we here?" Lupin said, amused. "A letter? But from who? Ah, yes Harry." The former proffessor pulled out a pair of reading glasses and put them on. "I was wondering when I would hear from that little sneak."

Lupin,

Ginny's been kidnapped by Draco Malfoy. He's no doubt taken her to Voldemort. I'm not sure if you know, but Voldemort has been using horcruxes to stay alive and in power. He had seven. I, with the help of Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood, have destroyed five. One horcrux is the pet snake of Voldemort.The other is Voldemort himself. I've recieved word by scar that the final battle will take place tonight. At Godric's Hallow. Please assemble as many people as you possibly can. We'll need all the help we can get. I'll explain everything later, if we all live. I'll be seeing you at dusk. Be prepared. Goodbye.

Love, Harry.

Remus blinked a few times before reading the letter agian and a third time. He placed a hand to his forehead. "Oh no. I've got to alert the Order!" He exclaimed.

The man stood after scribbling a hasty note to the Weasleys stating what was going on. Then, he pulled out his wand and proceeded to apperate to as many Order members and ministry officials as he could.

Dusk, that was all the time he had. It was then that the waiting and the war would come to a close. Dusk would decide if the sun would shine agian or if the world would fall into complete darkness.

Dusk was all they had.

Ok, so that's chapter 20. Yes, I know. It's short (very short.) and you're all very disappointed in me. But what's this? A present for you all? I'm adding the next chapter in a few minutes (as soon as I type it up) because it's just a little longer. But boy does it have so good stuff in it! So, read, review, and then do the same for the next chapter. PUH LEESS!!!
