"It appears they have put a force field around the school my lord," one of the followers informed us when we arrived.
"That won't be a problem," DL brushed him off. I was so excited to get started.
"Can I take it out? Oh please oh please oh please?" I asked excitedly. DL gave me a rare smile and nodded to me.
We were also informed Draco and the other Slytherin students were banished to their rooms by the acting headmaster. We decided to send Trixie and Riley to go get them. If they had any problems I would be able to sense it through Riley.
There were hundreds of wizards on both sides. We all knew not everyone would survive but we also knew we would come out victorious. DL announced to the school they could surrender and just turn Harry over to us and no wizard would be harmed. The key word was wizard but we won't get into that. Either way they refused. You would think the infamous Potter would be hero enough to sacrifice himself but apparently he'd rather lose countless other lives before his own unavoidable death.
As a united group DL and I led the dark to the outer rims of the force field. We had Chan and Nagini in snake form next to DL. Jasper, Emmett and Rose all stood to my side. Damon had left after my duel with Dumbledore. He had an emergency back home he had told us. I promised to visit soon and help raise a little hell in his small town of Mystic Falls.
Rose was once again hanging off Emmett's arm. She had a crazy glint in her eye which made me think Jasper was hiding how far along she actually was with her 'recovery'. When she saw me looking I gave her my crazy smile which she returned with one of her own. Emmett noticed our exchange and winked at me while tightening his hold on Rose.
With a nod from DL I giggled and pointed my wand at the shield. Considering how many light witches it took to make it didn't take me long to break through it. After only about 10 minutes I had a hole big enough for Riley and Trixie to go get our Slytherin friends and about 5 minutes later had the rest of the force field going up like fireworks. With an excitement filled war-cry our followers rushed by us to engage in battle. DL and I hung back with our vampires and snakes. We watched in fascination as curses were thrown back and forth on both sides.
Witches fell left and right, mostly the light though. We couldn't find the Potter trio, though we did see Alice and Edward attacking our side. They were too fast for the spells that were being thrown at them. I sent Jasper a nod which was his signal to apprehend his former wife and brother. As an afterthought, I also noticed Carlisle and Esme were no where to be found.
After what seemed like hours but was only really about 30 minutes, we called for our retreat to the meeting spot in the woods.
DL sent another message telling the light to take their dead and care for their wounded. He also gave one last chance to turn in Harry Potter. Jasper, Emmett and Rose had Alice and Edward contained. Riley and Trixie came back with news of freeing the Slytherin's. We sent most of the children home to wait out the battle though the older ones opted to fight with us. Draco and a couple of his friends stayed inside to look for Potter since we knew the chicken shit wouldn't give himself up.
DL was discussing battle tactics with a few of the top death eaters when I heard a sharp cackle. I turned to see it had come from Alice. Something told me her most recent vision wouldn't be good for us. Edward even looked smug, that little shit. I skipped on over to them. Jasper was trying to get Alice to spill the beans on what she saw. It wasn't working out too well, apparently the visions of torture he sent her wasn't swaying her. I smiled widely and lightly brushed Jasper's arm as I passed him.
"Jaz honey, let me handle this," I smiled to my brother and walked right over to Edward. He looked hopeful when he saw me walking toward him. I reached out and caressed his cheek with my palm and smiled brightly when he leaned into my touch. "Edward darling, be a dear and tell me what was in that vision," I spoke seductively.
"Harry found the last horcrux before the snake and Draco and his friend get caught in the fire that destroys it. They were in the room of requirement," Edward informed me while sounding trancelike. I stepped back from him and watched his face as he roamed his eyes over my body. The look of disgust that graced his features as he noticed my scars had me giggling madly.
"Edward! Why would you tell her! She's going to save them now you stupid fucking boy!" Alice shrieked at Edward. He looked shocked to realize he did actually tell me all I asked. I smirked at Jasper who nodded to me before turning back to Alice. She gasped as she got the vision just before Jasper pinned her jaw open and tore her tongue out. He put her detached part in his pocket and she whimpered pathetically. Jasper just grinned widely.
"Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have a nephew to save. Don't start the fun without me guys," and with that I apparated to where I knew the room of requirement to be. Unfortunately I couldn't get in.
Just when I was about to just blow up the wall I spotted a couple of familiar red heads having a hushed conversation not far from me. I smiled enthusiastically.
"My my my, if it isn't my favorite twins, thing one and thing two! How are ya fellas? I sure hope no one has hurt you two, I may have to punish them!"
"If it isn't," Fred said,
"Our crazy," George continued,
"Witchy friend!" they both exclaimed.
After a quick group hug they informed me of not wanting to be involved with the light and how their brother, Ron, pushed them into helping.
"Well boys, I'll keep ya out of everything if you help me get into the room of requirement. My nephew, Draco, is stuck in there with his friends and if I don't get him out they will die. If anything happens to Draco, I personally guarantee a lot more people will die."
The twins quickly agreed and the three of us got into the room and split to look for Draco. Not long after we split I noticed a raging fire whipping around like it had a life of its own.
"Fred! George! Get your asses out of here! I'll meet ya outside!" I shouted to the twins hoping they got out. "DRACO!"
"IZ! I'm up here! Help us!" I noticed Draco and one of his friends hanging from the top of what looked like an abnormally large pile of books. There was a broom right next to me so I quickly grabbed it and was off. Never having ridden a broom before I have to say, I was a natural.
I looped around and headed towards Draco. I grabbed Draco and tossed him behind me. He grabbed my waist as I grabbed his friend and put him across the front of the broom. I sped toward the door feeling the fire licking my ankles. We made it out the door slamming it shut behind us just as the fire roared violently in a last attempt to consume us. The broom crashed to the ground; unfortunately I'm not a natural at landing. I rolled off giggling the whole way gaining a slight smile from Draco who is used to my behavior, and a shocked look from his friend.
"Thanks aunt Izzy," Draco lunged and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. I hugged him back.
"Alright boys, you two should head home until this is all over ok? I believe you two have had plenty of action for one night," I smirked. The 2 boys agreed quickly and apparated out. Fred and George came running around the corner all covered in soot causing more giggles to burst out. I was pointing at them and when they looked at each other they started laughing too.
"Well now, that was fun wasn't it," I smirked, "ok guys. Here's the plan. Ya'll don't want to fight this war,"
Fred cut me off, "no, we want to fight just not with the light. I mean, really the light isn't exactly the good guys. We saw the duel you had with Dumbledore Iz. He was the leader of the light and if he was that bad, well, we'd rather fight with you."
"Well isn't that awesome. In that case guys, lets go introduce you to my fiancé than," I grabbed a hand from each of them and apparated us to the meeting spot. I informed everyone the Weasley twins were with me so they wouldn't be harmed. Cissy came up to me asking about her boy. After assuring her Draco was fine, I sent her home to meet up with him.
DL welcomed the twins with open arms. He was happy to see some purebloods come to us. I thought it would be a good idea to conjure new shirts for me and the twins to wear since ours were soot covered. They were black t-shirts that said 'come to the dark side, we have cookies'! I love that saying and just couldn't resist! The boys loved them.
Finally DL decided we waited long enough as the sun was starting to rise for the new day. We marched to the school and lined up facing the light followers. Harry Potter and his friends were in the front. It looked like the final battle would be between Potter and DL after all.
Without any words DL and Harry both stepped forward and raised their wands. They both went to throw the killing curse, just as Dumbledore and I had done, but last second Harry quickly pivoted and through the curse at me. Well fuck me if he didn't catch me with my wand down.
A/N O goodness, almost done! Sorry I'm tired and it's past my sons' bedtime so got to get the little ones to bed. I'll try for more by the end of this week. Should only be one more chapter than maybe an epilogue! Yay!
