Disclaimer: I Do Not Owe HP!

It had been one horrifying week for both Harry and Draco. They were both preparing for the battle that was supposedly to take place at Hogwarts within forty-eight hours. Dumbledore doesn't know about it and that would be the light side advantage. In this battle, Dumbledore is fighting blind. Now that his two spies are revealed, he can't do anything but to seat back and wait for the moment to come.

None of the other students and teachers were warned about the battle except those who knew which side is the true inner light. Everyone at Hogwarts would be going about their day like any other day without knowing that Death Eaters had penetrated the wards.

The night before the battle, which was twenty-four hours away, Tom had invited everyone at his secret hiding location to tell them about the plan. In order to defeat Dumbledore, Severus has to help Harry in his conquest and gain the upper hand.

Hermione Granger was still locked up at Malfoy Manor and thus could not get out unless Bellatrix have ordered her to do so. During the battle, Tom would negotiate the release of Nymphadora Tonks for Hermione Granger even though Tom knows that Dumbledore wouldn't care. Dumbledore wins no matter what condition it may be in.

During the day of the battle, it was like any normal day for everyone except for Dumbledore who was locked up in his office, seething as the hours goes by since he had no idea what Tom was planning. However, there was one person who hadn't been in class the whole day. Draco Malfoy was pacing around in The Room of Requirement as he waited for the right moment to open up the Vanishing Cabinet for the others to come through.

Draco Malfoy was indeed nervous as he paced around the room. Clearly anything could go wrong if the Vanishing Cabinet doesn't work at that precise moment. At that moment, Draco wanted to be in class with the other Slytherins and not worry about anything at all. However, he suspected that Harry was in fact nervous as he was even though he was in class.

Draco just wanted this battle over with and he knew that by the end of today, a lot of people would be killed and he hope to god that his parents aren't one of them.

Harry murmured "tempus" and he saw that the time was barely ten. The battle should be starting in fifteen minutes as Tom stated that it would start exactly at ten right before lunch. Apparently he couldn't concentrate while doing his potion with Professor Slughorn as well as the other Slytherins who knew that the battle was coming up.

In fact, there have already been two explosions caused by the Slytherins due to eagerness or nervousness for the battle. The Slytherins may have lost some points, but it was well worth it knowing the fact that Dumbledore would soon be dead. Every time Harry turns his head away from one of the Slytherins, he was being watched. He couldn't blame them as he knew that the faith of the Wizarding World was depending on him and Severus.

He was startled as he heard some screaming coming from outside of the classroom. He looked at the other Slytherins who looked back at him. Harry must have dozed off and not been paying attention as fifteen minutes had passed since he last checked.

"Everyone, stay put in your seats!" Slughorn barked out loud as everyone sat where they were sited. Everyone in the classroom watched Slughorn opened up the classroom door and he merely fainted as he saw what was going on outside. "Dear lord, it's starting," he muttered as Harry had run up to him and he saw Tom, Hermione, Bellatrix, Lucius, Narcissa and Severus coming into view.

"Wands out and get ready to defend yourself!" Slughorn snapped.

With the door opened in view, there were spells firing straight at Severus and the others even though Harry knew that it was none of the Slytherins own doings. Without causing any harm to the students, they were using stunning spells against the students.

"Harry, go and follow Severus. I am sure that they're heading up to Dumbledore's office," Slughorn said.

Harry nodded as he looked at the other Slytherins. "We better get moving. Go look for Draco! I'm sure he is somewhere in the Room of Requirements right now," he said as the Slytherins moved out.

The other students stared at either him or Professor Slughorn as they were clearly shocked.

"What the hell is going on?"

"The both of you are traitors!"

"Potter is working for the dark side! We can't trust him!"

Severus was right as he told him that the other students wouldn't believe it in their own eyes. "Professor, protect them with all cause," Harry said eyeing at Slughorn who nodded. Slughorn watched Harry as he warded the room and closed the door behind him as he joined forces with the others.

"Good luck Potter," Slughorn muttered as he turned around and began calming down the students.

"I really don't think Dumbledore would be interested in Hermione," Harry began as he walked beside Severus.

"We know that Harry," Severus replied as he looked at the teenager out off the corner of his eye, "weren't you paying any attention to our plan during the meeting?" He asked.

Harry smiled sheepishly, "Not really," he admitted as Severus shook his head in dismay.

"Once you get into his office, you'll be killed Potter! You won't be able to save the Wizarding World now then, can you?" Hermione asked with a smirk as she was walking in front of him.

Harry was about to say something but Tom did first. "Silence her Bella! I do not want to hear her annoying voice the whole day!" He snapped as Bellatrix happily complied.

The door to Dumbledore's office was locked and Harry watched in awe as he saw Tom do a powerful spell blasting the door down. The occupants who were at the other side of the door were startled as he/she drew their wands out as they got ready to fight.

"Dumbledore, call off your lackeys. You know you are at a disadvantage here. We are twice more powerful than they are and we know more spells. We do not want to kill them," Tom said coolly.

The students looked back at Dumbledore who nodded in return. "All of you are dismissed. Except for you," Dumbledore added as he pointed to a girl with light brown hair. The girl nodded nervously as she stayed in her place and she watched the others leave.

"What's the meaning of this, Dumbledore? Is there something your hiding from us?" Tom asked.

"Get her," Dumbledore ordered the girl as the girl nodded and she quickly went to the backdoor that was behind Dumbledore. Soon after, Bellatrix and Narcissa gave a shrieking gasp as the two saw Nymphadora coming out all bloodied up.

"Now then, shall we make an agreement?" Dumbledore asked.
