Protecting The Chosen One
Chapter Eight
By: Snow Phoenix-Dragon
Over the next few days The golden Trio, the guards, and the staff have been evacuating students right and left. The Weasly family also came to help out. It was decided that they would also help battle against the Dark Lord.
All the students, excluding the Golden Trio had evacuated. Fred and George were able to stay since they would have anyways.
"So you sure He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is coming?" Arthur Weasly asked.
"Yes. Actually he will be here in two days time, if sooner. Until then don't let your guard down and get a lot of rest. Do not worry about anything happening in your sleep. We will all stay in one room and we will take turn as a watch for the night." Kakashi said.
"Kakashi sensei, can I take the first few rounds?" Sakura asked.
"Only one round Sakura."
"But I'm not exactly tired." the pinkette whined.
"We are about to face an evil Dark Lord and you are acting like a child who doesn't want to go to bed early."
"And?"
"Act your age."
"I don't wanna. And I'm taking two shifts."
Seeing as how he can't argue anymore Kakashi took out his trusty orange covered book and began reading. The others continued on chatting and Fred and George were making some of them laugh.
"I like how they have chosen to act like it is their last day." Sakura said. "But they won't be the ones dying."
"What do you mena Sakura-san?"
Sakura turned to see Shino sitting next to her.
"I mean that we will be victorious and we will not die. No one will be lost unless it is the enemy's life. I plan on killing the snake, Nagini, while the rest deal with the others."
"Why the snake?"
"I hate snakes. I've hated them since I was little and my hatred for them has grown immensly."
"Ah. Would you need back up?"
"No. I can handle myself and the ugly creature. You and the others just worry about protecting the others and killing as many enemies as possible. We want to emerge victorious with no enemy left to live."
"I see. Well, goodnight Sakura-san."
"Night Shino. And call me Sakura."
"Hai, Sakura."
The bug user went over to his mat and layed down.
"Ok everyone! Lights out!" Kurenai announced.
Once everyone had gone to bed Sakura and Hinata were left to take the first night shift.
"Sakura-chan?" the Hyuga heiress called out quietly.
"Hai?"
"I have a feeling that one person from our side will die or get badly injured."
"Ah. So I wasn't the only one who sensed that."
"You mean you felt it too?"
"Hai. And when the time comes I want you to check and see who is missing after the fight is over. Whoever is missing must have their body found if it is not in sight. And no one goes for revenge, we don't need another avenger in our group."
"Hai."
The first two shifts were peaceful. When Sakura and Hinata went to bed Kurenai and Kakashi took the next shift. Dumbledore had decided to join them. The three adults discussed on some plans that they could use.
Just as they were going to wake up the next set of people to take the next shift a loud boom was hear in the great hall. Since everyone was sleeping in the Gryffindor common rooms that night.
Everyone jolted awake and the guards changed into their uniforms and made sure that they had enough weapons. The wizards and witches took out their wands. Everyone went to the Great Hall and saw that Voldemort had arrived earlier than expected.
"Ah, so we were expected." the man hissed. "Wormtail, my wand."
The mouse like man beside him handed his master the wand and scurried back into place. Soon the short mouse like man fell to the ground with a kunai in his chest, courtesy of Hinata.
"One down, many more to go." Sakura grinned. "Go!"
