Fred and Percy had just come into view, both of them dueling masked and hooded men. Harry Ron and Hermione ran forward to help: Jets of light flew in every direction and the man dueling Percy backed off. Then his hood slipped and they saw a high forehead and streaked hair.
"Hello, Minister!" bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. "Did I mention I'm resigning?"
"You're joking, Percy!" shouted Fred as the Death Eater he was battling collapsed under the weight of the three separate stunning spells. Thicknesse had fallen to the ground with tiny spikes erupting all over him; he seemed to be turning into some form of sea urchin. Fred looked at Percy with glee.
"You actually are joking, Percy…I don't think I've heard you joke since you were…"
The air exploded. They had been grouped together, Harry, Ron, Hermione, the two death eaters at their feet, one stunned, the other transfigured; and in that fragment of a moment when danger seemed temporarily at bay, they all were knocked. All of them holding there wands for dear life, bits of the wall raining down on them.
Harry looked up to see a blond girl shielding him with her own body Fred was first to his feet, "stay down!" but it was too late a flash of green light and Fred fell back, Naruko caught him before he hit the ground. She removed her mask and Harry could make out the whisker like marks on her face her bright blue eyes looking murderous. The next second they were no longer blue but red and black. Percy got up ready to fight the Death Eater who had killed Fred but before he could do anything the Death Eater looked Naruko in the eyes.
He let out a blood curdling scream, and then he fell over unable to move. They turned to Naruko seeing that she didn't have a wand out. "What did you just do?" Harry asked. But she didn't answer she went to replace her mask, but she felt a hand stop her, "do you really need that mask…without it makes you feel more human," Harry said softly.
"No…no…no!" someone was shouting, "No! Fred! No!"
Harry turned to see Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes started without seeing the ghost of his last moment etched upon his face.
The world had ended, so why had the battle no ceased, the castle fallen silent in the horror, and the combatant laid down their arms? Harry's mind was in free fall spinning out of control, unable to grasp the impossibility, because Fred Weasley could not be dead, the evidence of all his senses must be lying. And then a body fell past the hole blown into the side of the school, and curses fell in at them from the darkness hitting the wall behind their heads.
"Get down!" Harry Shouted as curses flew through the night. They all heard a sound a loud screech they looked up to see Naruko and her eyes were different once again they were orange horizontal rectangular pupils and around her eyes was red. In her hand was this strangest thing he had ever seen. It looked like a large disc with a ball in the center. Then she threw it the wizards tried to dodge it but it was no good it expanded killing them all. Harry looked up in it seemed that she was full of tricks, he need to thank you ever sent him her. Harry saw that Percy was laying across Fred's body, shielding it from further harm and when Harry shouted, "Percy, come on, we've got to move!" he shook his head.
"Percy!" Harry saw tears tracks streaking the grime coating Ron's face as he seized his elder's brother shoulders and pulled, but Percy didn't move. Then there was a puff of smoke, and a toad appeared it was about the size of a dog. Then it began to swallow Fred's body.
"What the bloody hell are you doing!" Ron and Percy shouted.
"Take Hyotan, he will protect Fred's body until you can find a safe place to put him," Naruko said softly. Then they all heard Hermione scream, Harry turned to see a group of giant spiders heading towards them but they all stopped.
"This place is too troublesome," said a lazy voice. Then they saw someone standing on the ceiling, "I guess I will deal with these things, even though it is troublesome."
"Is there anything that isn't troublesome?" Naruko called up to him smiling.
"Hai, those pictures Kakashi gave us after Christmas, those were too troublesome…for me at least," Shikamaru said in his usual lazy tone. Her whole face turned bright red and she could hear Shikamaru laughing.
Harry could help but to ask, "What pictures?"
"I guess you think this life is too troublesome too, because from here it sounds like you want to die!" Naruko shouted. Percy ran off with the toad to find a place to put Fred's body, Ron left to help Ginny who was in the middle of a duel. Harry and Hermione continued on ward. Harry looked into Voldemort's mind so that he could find. It was rather easy it was a lot easier than he would have thought.
"He is in the shrieking shake," Harry said running outside just but just managed to dodge a giants attack but before it could act again it had been thrown. They saw it was Naruko who had done it.
"Okay what can't you do?" Harry asked annoyed.
"I can't fly," she said as she attacked the giant again, "get going I will catch up soon," she said as more giants appeared.
Students and Death Eaters alike watched as a tiny blond fought the giants without magic and was winning. Soon a Harry saw a dark haired girl running to Naruko's aid. And she was using brute force like Naruko but she was doing just as well. Every time Hinata landed a blow on a limb, the attack left it useless.
Harry continued onward, trying his best not to think about everything that he had seen, and keep his mind on what he had to do, as a cold clammy feeling started to engulf him. All the thoughts the emotions that he was trying so hard to keep at bay started flooding ever recess of his mind. He tried to use a Patronus but he couldn't. Then a silver hare, a boar and fox soared past Harry and Hermione. The dementors fell back before the creatures approached. Three more people had arrived out of the darkness to stand beside them, their wands outstretched, continuing to cast their Patronuses, Luna Ernie and Seamus.
Naruko watched from the distance smiling, "I have a feeling that my mission will end before this battle does," she said turning to face Hinata who was standing by her side.
"Does that mean we will not help them finish this battle?" Hinata asked softly.
"Maybe I will help you guys with your mission," Naruko said smiling, Hinata just looked a little confused. As the Death Eaters screamed as they were being chased around by a dragon that Naruko had dubbed Seppen.
