"Els, Elisabeth, wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes, Hermione's blurry face came into my vision, "What happened?"

Hermione shook her head, "I don't know, we were waiting for something to happen, and both you and Luna fell asleep. At the point that I almost fell asleep too Professor Flitwick came sprinting down the dungeons. He was shouting about Death Eaters in the castle, and run into Snape's office, I woke Luna up and I heard him saying that Snape had to go back with him and then there was a loud thump. Luna and I made our way to the office and he said that Professor Flitwick has collapsed and that we had to take care of him, so we went into the office, but before we got there, everything went black, he must have Stupified us too."

"How's Professor Flitwick?"

"He's fine", Luna said from the office door, and Professor Flitwick appeared behind her.

"If I get my hands on him", he squeaked angrily, he then looked at Hermione and me, "Oh, you two are here too, it's the best if you girls go back to your Common Room, you'll only get hurt."

"NO!", I said furiously, no one would send me away as if I were a little child, "No, we are going to fight, we won't run away anymore."

Hermione and Luna nodded, "Yes, we will fight", Hermione said.
Professor Flitwick scratched his head, "Well, if you insist, let's go upstairs then."

As we got to the Entrance Hall, I saw Snape and Malfoy running across the Hall, "YOU!", Professor Flitwick shouted, running after them, automatically I started to run after them too.

"Elisabeth, what are you doing!", someone shouted next to me, I looked at the person, it was Harry.

"What do you think I do, getting that bastard!"

"No, it's too dangerous", Harry shouted back as we ran onto the school ground.

"Potter, you won't tell me what's dangerous or not, I do what I want!", I shouted at him, he may think that he is older then me, well he actually is, but still, I will not be treated as a small child.

Then we spotted Snape and Malfoy running towards the gates, "Harry, we have to hurry!", I shouted at him, Harry gave me a glance and nodded short as we sprinted past Hagrid.

"Stupefy!", he yelled, aiming his wand at Snape's head, but he missed.

"Run, Draco!", Snape shouted as he turned to face Harry and me, Harry stepped infront of me and raised his wand at the same moment as Snape did.

"Cruc –", Harry started, but Snape parried the curse, knocking Harry on his knees.

I then heard a bang, and saw Hagrid's hut catching fire, "Fang's in there, yeh evil –", Hagrid bellowed.

"Cruc –", Harry yelled for the second time, but Snape blocked the spell again.

"No Unforgivable Curses from you Potter", he shouted, "You haven't got the nerve or the ability –"

"Incarc –", Harry shouted, but Snape deflected it easily, I couldn't just stand there and watch, so I raised my wand to attack, but Harry pushed my hand down, "Don't, he's mine."

I looked at him, the determined look on his face was exactly the same as James', when they had something in mind, no one would change it, I nodded.

"Fight back!", Harry screamed as he saw Snape walking away, "Fight back, you cowardly –"

"You called me a coward, Potter?" Snape shouted, "Your father would never attack me unless it was four on one, what would you call him, I wonder?"

"Stupe –"

"Blocked again, and again, and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!" Snape sneered, deflecting the curse.

"Now, come!", he shouted at a Death Eater next to him, "It is time to go before the Ministry turns up –"

"Impedi –", before Harry could finish the curse, he kneeled in the grass, screaming in pain.

"No!", Snape shouted at someone, "Have you forgotton our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord – we are to leave him! Go! Go!"

Harry started to stand up again, "Sectum –"

Snape flicked his wand to repel the curse, his face was illuminated by the fire of Hagrid's house, his face was full of rage.

"No, Potter!", Snape screamed as Harry tried to curse him again. With a loud BANG Harry flew backwards, his wand flying out of his hand. Snape walked to him, ignoring me as I watched at the unbelievable scene before me.

"You dare to use my own spells against me, Potter? It was I who invented them – I, the Half-Blood Prince! And you'd turn my inventions on me, like your filthy father, would you? I don't think so… no!"

Harry'd tried to dive to his wand, but Snape shot a hex at it and it flew into the darkness, out of sight.

"Kill me, then", Harry panted, his face determined "Kill me like you killed him, you coward –"

"DON'T –", Snape screamed, his face even more raged then it already was, "– CALL ME COWARD!"

He slashed his wand trough the air and a bright white spell was send to Harry, who was send flying backwards once again, and stayed motionless on the ground.

Snape turned around and walked past me towards the gates, where the other Death Eaters had Apparated.

"No!", I screamed, determent to not let him get away that easily.

Snape turned around to face me, "What do you want, Vinyal?", he sneered, "Don't you need to help your boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend, you bastard, and you know that!" I walked to him, knowing it wouldn't help if I used curses against him, I would only end up as Harry, unconscious.

When I was about a feet away, I stopped, "How could you, I trusted you, and this is what you do to us?", I said, feeling tears starting well up in my eyes.

"This is who I am, not that it matters to you", he sneered.

"No, it's not, what was all that about with Draco then, trying to act nice to me, even told me he had to act nasty to us. He told me you said I was the only person trustworthy of telling this, so you won't fool me Snape!"

"That was all a lie, don't you get it, we set you up!", Snape sneered, "And you were to stupid to see trough it, you and your pathetic friends walked right into our plan, with open eyes!"

I had the urge to slap him, slap him hard, but I didn't, I knew if I would, I would end up like Harry –

"Harry!", I screamed, I had forgotten about him, "You bastard, I will never forgive you for what you did, do you hear that!"

"Why would I need forgiveness from you, you're nothing to me", Snape sneered before he slapped me in my face, "And that is for calling me a bastard, now if you don't mind, I have business to do."

Once again today, he pointed his wand at me, "O no!", I shouted, "You won't do that again!"

As he send his curse to me, I casted the strongest deflection charm I could think of, but for some reason the charm didn't work, Snape's spell hit me square in the chest, and I got blown backwards, landing next to Harry.

"Have fun the rest of the year here, Miss Vinyal", Snape shouted at me sarcastically before he turned around and strode to the gates.

As I tried to sit up, I saw him reaching the gate and disappearing into thin air, I looked to the spot where he had disappeared, I just couldn't believe that this was the same man as I had fallen in love with the last year. He acted exactly as he did after he called me a Mudblood in our fifth year.

"I hate you", I mumbled, trying to get up and help Harry.

"Come on Harry", I said to him, while trying to get him to wake up, "Don't just lie here, we have to get back to the castle."

Harry moaned weakly before he opened his eyes, "Els, what are you doing here, where is Snape?"

"He's gone, he and the other Death Eaters disappeared, probably meeting up with Voldemort." I used my wand to summon Harry's and gave it to him, "here you go, I think we better go back to the castle now."

Harry nodded, "Yes, I think we should do that…"

As we walked back to the castle, I knew something was off with Harry, it wasn't like him to look so depressed, "Harry, what's wrong?"

"It's Dumbledore…", Harry said, "Snape killed… Dumbledore."

I gasped for air, "No! When – How?"

"When Dumbledore and I came back, we were on the Astronomy Tower, and he just killed them… He just killed him!", Harry screamed.

I grabbed him by his shoulders when I saw tears starting to well up in his eyes and hugged him, "Oh god, that can't be true."

I felt his arms coming around my body as his body started to shock, I noticed that he was crying, "shhh Harry, it will be fine –"

"Of course it won't be fine Els", came his muffled voice, "He's dead, he won't come back."

It took Harry several minutes before he calmed down and we continued to walk back to the castle. Harry was still holding my hand, not wanting to let go as if I gave him the strength to continue.

"Harry… Where is he?", I asked carefully.

"At the foot of the Astronomy Tower I think, he was blown off the Tower."

When we walked onto the courtyard, I saw people gathered in a half circle around something on the ground. I made my way trough the crowd, pulling Harry along with me, as we reached the front I was Professor Dumbledore's body on the ground and gasped for air. Harry let go of my hand and walked slowly to the body, sinking down on his knees besides him.

I saw him looking at Dumbledore's face for a moment, before moving his hands to Dumbledore's eyes and closing them. He placed the half-moon spectacles on Dumbledore's nose and whipped a trickle of blood from his mouth. If Harry hadn't told me that Snape killed Professor Dumbledore, I would've believed it if someone had told me that he was asleep, but he wasn't.

Harry moved a bit and grabbed something from under his knee, in the light of the many wands around me, I could see a locket in his hands, probably the thing that he and Professor Dumbledore went looking for. He took a fragment of parchment out of the locker and read it, then he crumbled it angrily in his hands as Fang began to howl behind us.

Thank you for reading the chapter and if you feel up to it, please leave a review:)
