Chapter 24:
The War Begins
Hermione didn't feel like going into work but she had no choice. She entered the Ministry as if nothing was the matter.
"Hermione, Harry's called a meeting, emergency meeting," Luna said as they both walked up to the conference room. The room had been magically enlarged, every member of the Ministry was here, and there were thousands of people.
The Minister was not present.
"The Minister of Magic," Harry began as everyone was seated, his voice was echoing throughout the room. "The Minister of Magic has been killed, last night."
There were gasps, shocked faces all around the room. Harry allowed the a few minutes to accept it.
"He was killed by a group of death eaters," Harry continued. "As I am Deputy I will be taking over as Minister, at least for now."
Everyone nodded.
"That's not the all," Harry sighed. "I have told you over and over that the war is coming. Voldemort's followers are stronger then ever, his right hand man may be more powerful then he is. The war is upon us. People have died all over. Many of you have just arrived, and probably don't know what happened last night. And for what ever reason not all aurors could be alerted."
Hermione looked up, what happened last night?
"Last night there were numerous attacks on muggles," Harry said. "Many died. In Muggle news they have been shown as earthquakes. The number of deaths is high, which means one thing. The war will begin in a few days, if not sooner."
Everyone again was shocked. They gasped and were frightened. They had all accepted that they would fight but it was here. The time was drawing closer.
"Every wizarding family, on our side has been sent an owl. Minors at schools and who stayed home will be taken into a safe place. I am the secret keeper so no one will be able to give Voldemort the location." Harry continued. "We move the elderly too and we do it today. After this meeting, I want all aurors to stay behind. The rest of you – some of you will be sent back to work on anything that is important, the others will start the evacuation."
They all nodded.
"When the war begins, you will know," Harry said his voice stronger. "If I do not see you before that, I want to thank you for standing by me, for fighting for me and for good. Good luck to all of you."
They all dispersed, except for all the aurors in the Ministry. The room decreased in size as the number of people decreased. Harry looked at the remaining people.
"Right I want you all to help with some of the evacuations if it is needed," Harry started. "Then I want people to practise spells, curses, be prepared, and do what it takes to be ready. People who will fight in this war will not be as experienced, those of age will fight. That includes those who have just turned seventeen, people like that will need help. Help those who need it, kill as many death eaters as you can. I will take care of Voldemort; the light will win no matter what." Harry said to everyone. They all took in his words.
Then Ginny lifted her wand to record the next speech from Harry.
"The war is soon, at the bottom of my heart the war will begin before tomorrow ends," Harry said calmly. "The time has come for us to put aside any differences you have and fight for what you believe in. It is time to take down the evil that threatens to control us and to kill us. This is the last war there will be and this is the only chance we will get. Fight if you can but do not fight if you cannot, no one will force you. For those of you who fight, may Merlin be with you."
Ginny nodded, lowering her wand, "That message will be sent to every wizarding family, just that last bit."
Harry nodded, "Aurors, the war is beginning, I suggest you go prepare and if you can help with some of the evacuations. The evacuations have to be done subtly but quickly. You are free to go."
They all nodded and with a last shaking of hands with the new Minister they all left, everyone except Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna and Ginny who waited to talk to Harry.
"So we fight," Luna said.
"We have to fight," Neville added.
"If any of you don't want to…" Harry began.
"Don't even try it mate," Ron interrupted.
"We stood by you from our first year at Hogwarts," Hermione said.
"And we all joined the DA," Luna said.
"We fight together, we stand together," Ginny held his hand.
Harry nodded, "Well we all better get on with work. Thank you all for being with me. I couldn't have got here without you."
"Your welcome," Ginny smirked.
"Harry your evacuating the minors but what about muggles?" Hermione asked.
"When the war comes, I've picked three aurors to set a spell. It'll cause the muggles to head to their town hall which will be protected." Harry answered. "We can't do that for wizards as they will fight the spell."
Hermione nodded, "Ok."
They all smiled before leaving. Hermione headed to her office and looked around, there was nothing there she needed. She was about to leave when Ginny entered.
"You okay?" Hermione asked.
Ginny nodded, "Yea I got the sword."
"For the snake," Hermione nodded.
"I'm ok, I know what I have to do," Ginny showed her Gryffindor bravery. She looked at Hermione. "You look pale."
"Didn't sleep well," Hermione said.
Ginny nodded, "Are you sure it's nothing else?"
"No its nothing," Hermione lied, this was not the time. "I'm going to help with some of the evacuations."
Ginny nodded, "I think I need to be with Harry."
"Yea, he needs you," Hermione hugged her best friend before leaving to help the others evacuate people.
She headed to her first street, ready to help with the evacuations.

Draco was summoned near the evening. When he entered Voldemort's mansion, he was surprised to see most of the death eaters there, masked and ready. He didn't have his mask on. When he arrived, the death eaters moved aside. He put his mask on and moved to the front where Severus was standing. Soon Voldemort was out. They all kneeled. He lifted his hand telling them all to rise.
"My people," He said in his low cunning voice. "The war is upon us."
They all nodded.
"It is time to take over what belongs to us. We will rid the world of muggles, filthy mudbloods and blood traitors."
No one dared speak.
"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises we attack. We attack in the Centre of this City, we kill the light and then we take over. We rule this world."
"Yes my lord," they all said.
"We fight in the morning, be prepared. Be here on time, you will fight for me."
"Yes My lord," they all said again.
He dismissed them all, except Draco and Severus.
"Tomorrow you will help lead the death eaters, you will fight for me, and you're my strongest death eaters along with Bellatrix." Voldemort said. "I suggest you get ready."
They both nodded and they were dismissed. Once outside, Snape walked up to Draco.
"You okay?" Snape asked.
Draco nodded, "I'm fine."
Snape nodded as Draco apparated out of Voldemort's Mansion.

The following morning…
Snape had told the Order what was happening. They were all prepared. Everyone who would fight was ready. Hogwarts was an evacuation spot, most of the kids were there, supervised by the ghosts and a few of the elderly. Everyone else was ready.
When the sun rose, the death eaters appeared in the city, setting fire to the shops as they came along. The Order, the Ministry, the side of the light arrived ready.
"KILL THEM ALL!" Voldemort ordered the death eaters.
The war had begun.
