Chapter 18: Hagrid Brings In The Giants

Harry Potter awoke in a familiar 4-poster bed that morning. He grabbed his glasses and opened his eyes groggily. He felt like he'd drank over 50 bottles of fire whisky last night and had to pay the price this morning.

Hearing the familiar sound of Ron snoring Harry snapped back to reality. He sighed and got up.

"Mummy don't leave me," mumbled Ron in his sleep. Harry laughed and Ron sat up in surprise. He shook his head sleepily.

Then he sort of half got of and half fell of the bed. Harry snorted and started changing into jeans and a t-shirt. He grabbed his wand and stuffed it in his pocket.

Just then the ground underneath him rumbled and shook like an earthquake. Ron squealed and cried out.

"Mummy help!" he cried. Harry had no time to laugh at Ron. He quickly ran and stood in the nearest doorframe. (A/N I think that's what you do in a situation of an earthquake. Tell me if I'm wrong)

Hermione ran into the room. Ron goggled at her as usual. He still wasn't over her. She smiled at them.

"Morning guys! Don't be such a wimp Ron its not a real earthquake! Its just Hagrid bringing in the giants," she said happily. Harry noticed she looked a lot better than last night. But then again who wouldn't be distraught after what had happened to Hermione?

She probably felt better know that she could see Draco again. They really are a good couple. But Harry made sure he never told Ron that because he'd probably bite his head off.

Ron looked relieved.

"I wasn't scared at all. I was just…" started Ron.

"Ron shutup!" said Harry through laughs. Ron frowned but Harry didn't seem to notice. Hermione's eyes looked far away. There was still pain in her heart, Harry could tell.

"So it's really happening. The wizard war of our time," said Hermione gravely. Ron looked scared. Harry nodded.

"Are you okay Harry?" asked Hermione concerned.

"What if I fail Hermione? What if Voldemort takes over the whole of the wizarding world and it's all because of me?"

"Harry you're a great wizard. I know you can do it," said Hermione comfortingly, "And we'll be there by your side the whole way through."

Harry smiled at Ron and Hermione. They knew they would get through this. Harry's conversation crystal glowed purple. They ran over and looked into the crystal.

Dumbledore's tired and weary face appeared.

"Ah I had a feeling you three would be together. Need you to come downstairs to the great hall," said Dumbledore briskly. Then without another word his image disappeared.

Harry, Ron and Hermione tore down the stairs and into the hall. The order sat at the table and across the room was a huge, ugly giant. The giant had grey crusty skin with boils on it. His head was bald apart from a few wisps of black greasy hair.

He had a huge club in his hand and his fingernails were short and yellow. He smelled like a million tonnes of manure mixed with vomit. He was wearing a torn piece of vomit coloured cloth to cover his privates.

Harry cringed. It was the foulest creature (other than a Dementor) he'd ever seen.

The giant grunted and Harry, Ron and Hermione sat on the table next to Draco.

Hermione kissed Draco lightly on the lips. Harry looked over at Ron. He was glaring at Draco with pure disgust and hatred.

Dumbledore stood up.

"Everyone, this Gore. He is the leader of the giant clan called Gopatolis. He has agreed to assist us in the defeat of Voldemort. But we must hospitalise them well. Also today witches and wizards from around the world are coming to fight at our sides. Also the Hogwarts house elves have begged to fight as well. I have given them a choice and they all agree they will fight along side us," said Dumbledore. Hermione stood up to protest but Dumbledore continued before she could say anything.

"Then tomorrow we will talk about tactics and plans. I cannot lie. Many lives will be lost in this war. But for everyone who is with us, will have eternal glory and honour. And even if we are to fail, there will sill be hope," said Dumbledore.

The order fell silent. Then they all stood up and went their separate ways. The order was given duties to make the Giants happy during their stay. Harry walked up to Dumbledore and he gave him his duty.

Ron had had a crap day. First Harry had caught him sleep talking about his mum, he had been a complete dick in front of Hermione, he had seen Malfoy and Hermione kiss and he was given toilet duty.

Scrubbing the giants toilets was probably the worst thing he'd ever done in his life. He shuddered at the thought of having to do it again. Thank god they got a different duty everyday.

He went to sleep with the comforting thought that Malfoy would die in the war and he would have Hermione.

The next day was again preparing for the war. Harry had gotten weary over the past couple of days. He had a feeling he wouldn't be nicknamed the boy who lived for much longer.

Witches and wizards from all over the world were coming to Hogwarts to fight alongside Dumbledore.

Harry was lying on the velvet soft grass next to the lake. Hermione came up and lay next to him.

"Are you sure you're all right Harry?" she asked. Harry sighed.

"I don't know what to do anymore Hermione. The fate of the wizarding is in my hands and I just thing that if I fuck up it'll be the rest of the world tat has to suffer."

"Harry we talked about this before! You're a great wizard and we all think you can do it! Dumbledore will be by your side the whole time."

"Thanks Hermione," said Harry. They smiled at each other. Harry knew he had never liked Hermione as more than a friend. He had always seen himself as her big brother. He was glad Hermione felt that way about him too.

Someone came running up towards him. It was Snape. His robes billowed out behind him. He had a panicked expression his face.

"Potter, Granger! Get back to the castle immediately! The Dark Lord has decided to attack Hogwarts a little earlier than expected. Move your lazy arses and get back to the castle immediately we need to get prepared we only have a couple of hours!" Snape snarled angrily.

Hermione and Harry jumped up and started sprinting back to the castle with Snape closely behind.

The butterflies in Harry's stomach that had settled for those few moments with Hermione were back on drugs and fluttering around in his stomach.

Harry felt like he was going to throw up. Hermione patted him on the shoulder while they ran which gave him strength.

They ran into the castle. The giants were all lined up at the back and all the hundreds of witches, wizards, House Elves and other creatures were up the front carefully listening to Dumbledore's words.

Harry and Hermione sat down with Draco and Ron who were glaring at each other. Dumbledore stood up in front of the awaiting witches, wizards, giants and other creatures.

"Unfortunately, Voldemort has come a little earlier than expected. He is standing at our gates and will fight wether we want to or not. We must prepare for battle quickly. War is it at hand," said Dumbledore. They could hear loud rumbles as the Earth shook.

Everyone ran to the windows and looked out. They froze with shock at the onlooking sight. An army. A huge army. With Voldemort leading them they walked towards the Hogwarts gates.

Voldemort was grinning an evil grin. His loyal Death Eaters walked closely behind him. And beyond the Death Eaters were Trolls, Giants, Dementors and other foul creatures.

It was one of the most fearful things Harry had seen.

And so…it had begun.

That's the end of the chapter. Next couple of chapters are the big ones. Hope you enjoy them! See you next chapter! Don't forget to review!
