How To Train Your Magic
Chapter 9: The Death Of Finnigan/Hiccup's Courage
We cut to Hermione, Astrid and the others trying to find Harry and Hiccup, but have no luck. Suddenly, they hear whoosing noises coming across them and it happens to be the death eaters. "It's them!", said Ron, "The death eaters!" "Run!", shouted Professor Longbottom and he and the others ran as fast as they could while trying to shooting the green magic at them after shouting "EXPELLIARMUS!" three times, thus hitting only two of the eight death eaters. Professor Longbottom and Professor Finnigan held the other death eaters back while the others continue to ran. "They'll hold them back!", said Hermione, "Keep running!"
When the others saw the view of Hogwarts far away from them, they see Harry and Hiccup running towards them. "Toothless", said Hiccup, "There you are!" He ran towards the Night Fury and hugged him tightly, "Where's Longbottom and Finnigan?" He then sees the two professors fighting back against the death eaters. "We've got to help them!", said Hiccup and he and Harry ran to give the two professors some help. Little did they know that one of the death eaters knocked out Professor Longbottom with one hit from his wand and is about to finish him off. Professor Finnigan, shocked at what's about to happen, jumps in from of the death eater and kills him.
Suddenly, one of the death eaters shouted, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" and blasts out the red magic that kills Professor Finnigan offscreen. In inaudible mode, we see Hiccup screaming, "No! Professor Finnigan!" He kneels down at the now dead body of Professor Finnigan before he starts to cry in tears. Then, his face turns to stern and more determined he takes out his wand and said, "Let's go, you ugly freaks!" The death eaters ran towards Hiccup before they could say, "Avada Kedavra!", but Hiccup quickly shouted, "EXPELLIARMUS!" and shoots the green magic at the death eaters, killing them one by one.
"Amazing!", said Astrid, amused by Hiccup's courage against the death eaters before Hiccup shouts, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!, which causes three of the death eaters to dissolve. "Seamus", said Harry and looked at Professor Finnigan's dying body as he stutters something that would let them make sure that they won't give up. "Harry", said Professor Finnigan, "I'm sorry. I failed." "No, you haven't, Seamus", said Harry proudly, "You did everything that you can to protect the others." "I did", said Professor Longbottom after he woke up after that tremendous fight against the death eaters, "as well. Oh, no. Seamus!" "It's alright, Neville", said Professor Finnigan, still breathing and has a little moment before he would die.
"Harry?", said Professor Finnigan. "Yes?", said Harry. "Voldemort will make an entire army soon", explained Professor Finnigan, "And our magic may not match the powers against him. But you and your viking friend need to work together to bring him down. Promise me one more thing before I go." "Yes", said Harry and nods in agreement. "Promise me...", said Professor Finnigan, takes three more breaths, "that you'll remember the day I've met you. Buddy." He takes one more breath and in this very day, he dies, which causes Harry to shed a tear from his eye. "So long, dear friend", said Harry, saddened at Professor Finnigan's untimely death.
Later, Harry buries Professor Finnigan's dead body on the ground before covering it with dirt. "Let us remember the day that we've met a dear friend who sacrificed his life for us", said Harry, "As a reminder that would help us believe that we will do what we can to defeat Voldemort and the rest of the death eaters once and for all." "I'm so sorry about your friend, Harry", said Hiccup. "Do not blame yourself, Harry", said Harry, "Blame on what the cost that Voldemort and the death eaters cause." Hiccup and Harry look at the covered dead body of Harry's long time friend before they, along with Astrid and the others, continue on their way to Hogwarts.
Sorry for making this chapter shorter. I just wanted to kill some time to make an emotional moment where Hiccup sees Professor Finnigan (Seamus) getting killed by one of the death eaters before taking into action and kills all them. Don't worry, the next chapter will be even longer. I promise you that. So, enjoy and review, dear friends.
