Hey, it's me! Here's another fight! Keep reading and reviewing!

Chapter 83

The ceiling of the Great Hall was dark and scattered with stars, and the four house tables were packed with students, either in traveling cloaks or in dressing gowns. The school ghosts were floating around as well. Every eye was fixed on Professor McGonagall, and Gohan, who was standhig next to her silently in his full uniform, save his helmet. The Slytherins were giving him extremely nasty looks. In fact, the second they had seen him, they had begun yelling curses, before being shut up by McGonagall. They were standing on the same platform that Dumbledore had used to do announcements on.

"Evacuation will be overseen by Mr Filch and Krillin." McGonagall was saying.

"Me?" Krillin gulped. Android 18 and McGonagall glared at him, making him shut up.

"Prefects, when I give the word, you will organize your houses and take your charges, in an ordinary manner, to the evacuation point." McGonagall said. Many of the students looked petrified. The saiyans chuckled.

"Look at them, you can smell their fear." A female saiyan frowned in disgust.

"Bah! If these were saiyan children, they'd be fighting amongst each other for the honor to fight!" a male saiyan chuckled as he cracked his hands. Gohan snarled as he glanced at the saiyan.

"And what if we want to stay and fight?" Ernie Macmillian yelled, getting cheers in response. Gohan let a smile dot across his face.

"Hah! I like your guts, kid!" Raditz chuckled.

"All those of age can stay." McGonagall said.

"What about our things? Our owls, our possessions?" a girl at the Ravenclaw Table yelled.

"What's more important, kid? Your stuff or your life?" Bardock snarled, making the girl go silent.

"Where's Headmistress Umbridge?" A slytherin yelled.

"She's taking a nap in the dungeons." Gohan smirked, getting cheers in response.

"Protections have already been put into place around the castle, but they will not last long without reinforcement." McGonagall said.

"Correct. We've got to get you into Allied territory. You'll be safe there." Gohan frowned.

"Sure! With your American bigots!" a Slytherin snarled, getting yells of outrage.

"Ha ha ha ha!" a very familiar voice to Gohan laughed, echoing the hall into silence.

"CELL!" Gohan snarled as he pulled his blade out and looked around in confusion. Then, a little boy leaped from the Gryffindors and landed in front of him and McGonagall. The first thing Gohan noticed was that they boy's eyes were glowing red.

"It's a Cell Junior!" he snarled.

"Correct, my young friend. I'm using my mind link with my spawn to communicate with you all. I thought that it might be simpler and less painful than Riddle's method." Then, Cell turned back towards the large crowd.

"I know that you are preparing to fight. Your efforts are futile. You cannot fight me. I do not want to kill you. Over the years, I have gained much respect for the students and teachers of Hogwarts. If this was seven years ago, I would not hesitate to kill all of you. But, I have changed much. We don't need anymore blood shed, or anymore accidents like Cedric Diggory, now do we?" Cell smirked, getting hisses of rage.

"If that's so, then you will allow us to evacuate the young underage students in transports without firing on them. It wouldn't be exactly a fair fight, now would it?" Gohan smirked. There seemed to be an air of silence as Cell frowned. A second later, he burst into laughter.

"Is that good or bad?" a first year Gryffindor whispered.

"You never know when it comes to him." A fifth year whispered back.

"Well said, my boy, well said! Very well, I'll play your little game. I'll order my men to not fire on your transports. But if this is a trick, they'll be molten slag." Cell snarled, getting a sigh of relief in response.

"I hope you know, I don't want any of this. I only want three things. One, Harry Potter must give himself up to Lord Voldemort. Second, you and I have one final duel. Third, all muggle-borns with you surrender for questioning. Think before you answer. You're outnumbered ten to one. You have till morning to decide. If you refuse, I will give you all the honor of a warrior's death!" then, the Cell Junior's eyes turned back to normal.

"Here!" Gohan snarled as he held his hand out. A second later, he disintegrated the Cell Junior with a ki blast.

"I'm gonna enjoy watching negotiations." Vegeta chuckled.

"I say we kill all the Slytherins and hang their bodies for Riddle to see! All of them!" Raditz yelled, getting roars of approval from the saiyans and Gryffindors.

"Yeah! Let's show them we mean business!" Michael yelled. The Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws roared with approval as they whirled onto the saiyans, who were now backing against the wall in complete fear.

"Have you all gone mad?" Professor Slughorn screamed with shock.

"Shut up!" Vegeta smirked as many students pulled out their wands.

"We're sick of your trash!"

"About time someone taught you a lesson!"

"Professor Snape's not gonna save you lot this time!"

"Bout time you lot got scared!"

"STOP!" Gohan voice roared throughout the whole Great Hall, causing everyone to stop and look at him. He had his wand on his throat, obviously what had boosted his voice. McGonagall looked livid, Sprout looked shocked, and Flitwick looked horrified. Slughorn looked terrified, sweat rolling down his face.

"What the hell is wrong with all of you? It's sad that the first time that I've seen the houses work together, it's like this!" Gohan gaped.

"You should all be ashamed of yourselves!" Professor Sprout stuttered.

"If Professor Dumbledore was still alive, he'd be horrified at this… this… outlandish behavior!" McGonagall stuttered, causing the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs to look down in shame.

"Cedric would never even have considered it!" Gohan frowned.

"How would you know?" a Hufflepuff yelled.

"Look, what would your family say? Hannah, what about your mother?" Gohan snarled, making Hannah gasp softly.

"And Susan, your aunt?" Gohan frowned, making the young girl wipe her eyes.

"You are no fun, brat." Raditz muttered.

"I'm starting to think that I have crazies on both sides of the family." Kiara muttered.

"I heard that!" Raditz barked.

"Neville, what about your parents?" Gohan smirked, making the boy grit his teeth.

"You want me to continue?" Gohan frowned, getting silence in response.

"Listen! If we do this, then we prove that we're no better than they are!" Gohan waved his arms. The students looked at each other, and then lowered their wands.

"Am I late?" a familiar voice made everyone turn to see…

"DEATH EATERS!" a terrified Ravenclaw screamed as the robed men in the hall doorway.

"WAIT!" Gohan ordered as he strode past them, stopping in front of the Death Eaters.

"Malfoy, please be more subtle next time?" Gohan sighed as Scorpius Malfoy came to the front.

"Sorry, couldn't find parking." Scorpius chuckled.

"You're working with Death Eaters?" Angelica gaped as Gohan shook Scorpius's hand.

"No, Separatists. Death Eaters who've seen the light and divided away from Voldemort's influence." Gohan answered.

"Quite correct, friend." The Arbiter said as he stood next to Scorpius, getting gasps.

"Blimy, aliens keep getting weirder." Seamus said.

"So, can you get them all out, Malfoy?" Gohan asked.

"Consider it done. Transport's waiting to take em to DC. Already got permission from Griffin." Scorpius smirked.

"Good. Prefects, hurry! Get to the evacuation points!" Gohan ordered.

"You're trusting our lives to Death Eaters?" a Ravenclaw stuttered.

"Professor?" Slughorn asked nervously.

"Well, you heard him, go! Slytherins first!" Professor McGonagall ordered. Instantly, shouting and shoving broke out as the evacuation began.

"So… we've got less than two hours before we have to fight." Harry frowned.

"Right." Gohan frowned.

"What? What bloody time is it?" Kiara blinked.

"According to my watch… three in the morning." Gohan frowned.

"Great…" Harry sighed.

"Oh, here. I got it a while back, and forgot to give it to you." Gohan said as he pulled a vial out of his pocket and handed it to Harry.

"Memories?" Harry frowned.

"Yeah." Gohan nodded.

"Thanks." Harry frowned as he slid it into his pocket.

"Gramps, you brought the stuff?" Gohan smirked.

"You bet." Bardock smirked.

"Seamus, hold on a second!" Gohan yelled as he rushed over to the young Gryffindor.

"What is it, mate?" Seamus asked.

"I need your skill in blowing stuff up. Ever seen this stuff?" Gohan smirked as he handed Seamus a bag.

"What is this stuff?" Seamus asked.

"C-4. Muggle explosives. I need you to blow something up." Gohan smirked.

"I can bring it down." Seamus grinned. Harry frowned as he looked around, before seeing a familiar blond head.

"LUNA! LUNA!" Harry yelled, causing the girl to turn towards him.

"Oh, hi Harry." She said, with a tone that sounded like nothing was wrong.

"Luna, I need to talk to the Gray Lady!" Harry said.

"The Gray Lady? I know her, she's my friend!" Luna smiled.

"I know, Cho told me. I need to talk to her." Harry said.

"Oh, follow me. She's very shy, though." Luna said as she headed down a corridor. Harry nervously followed her.

"You okay down there, Seamus?" Gohan called out as he and Johnson looked over the edge of the Covered Bridge.

"Sure am, mate! It's easy since I learned to fly!" Seamus grinned as he attached a patch of C-4 to what looked like crystal on one of the bridge's supports.

"Hey, where'd Harry go…" Gohan frowned as he took off back into the castle.

"Tell Professor McGonagall that Remus and I will handle this side of the castle." Kingsley said to Bardock as he, Lupin, and Bardock walked through a tower, staring out at the wasteland trailing into the distance.

"Really?" Bardock smirked sarcastically.

"You called, father?" Radtiz smirked sarcastically.

"Yes. Stay with these two, will ya?" Bardock asked.

"Hmph." Raditz snarled as he turned to look back at the two wizards.

"I seem to recall that you were dead." Kingsley said.

"Not in this buisness." Raditz smirked.

"How you are Gohan's uncle and Goku's brother is despising, considering your behavior." Remus frowned.

"Hmph. At least the boy fights like a warrior." Raditz smirked.

"She's down there. It's better that you go down there alone." Luna said as she stood in front of a flight of stairs. Harry gave a nod and walked down the flight of stairs. In the small courtyard in front of him, a transparent woman was floating, with her back to him. She seemed to notice his arrival, for she began floating away.

"WAIT! I'm a friend of Luna's!" Harry yelled as he began to run after her. She stopped and turned to look at Harry.

"You're the Gray Lady?" Harry asked.

"Yes." She said.

"The ghost of Ravenclaw Tower?" Harry asked.

"Yes, but I cannot help you!" she glared at him, before beginning to float

"Wait, I'm looking for the diadem!" Harry yelled.

"Countless generations have badgered me, yet I have answered none of them. Besides the diadem will not give you an advantage over Lord." She began to say.

"That's not it!" Harry insisted.

"Why? My mother's diadem." She began to say, but cut herself off when she realized what she had said.

"Your mother's? Harry asked with surprise.

"When I lived, I was Helena Ravenclaw." She said.

"So you know where it is!" Harry whirled to see Gohan rush up. Helena snarled the second she saw him.

"I refuse to speak to that… that… barbarian!" she snarled as she began to float away.

"What did I do?" Gohan gaped.

"You and your kind nearly destroyed our world! You are Bazba's descendent!" she hissed.

"Ohhhh…" Gohan blinked.

"You can't blame Gohan for the mistakes of his ancestors!" Harry sputtered.

"You don't know what they were! You don't know what they did!" she screamed as she shot in front of Gohan.

"I'm different than they were! I remember when they came, burning and destroying everything in their path. The only decent one was Princess Reina. Ragnok was as horrible as his father. Pigs!" she snarled.

"You were there?" Gohan gaped.

"I watched my mother and the other heads of the school march out with the muggle Arthur to fight those things… and during the fighting and confusion… I stole my mother's diadem." She said, making the two boys gape.

"You stole it?" both boys said at the same time in disbelief.

"Yes, I stole the diadem. I sought to make myself cleverer, more important than my mother. I ran away with it while she was fighting. My mother, they say, never admitted that the diadem was gone, but pretended that she had it still, even after she discovered what I had done. She concealed her loss, my dreadful betrayal, even from the other founders of Hogwarts, as well as Merlin himself. Then, during a fight with the king himself, my mother was fatally wounded when she and the other founders faced off against him. In spite of my perfidy, she was desperate to see me one more time before she passes. She sent a man who had long loved me, though I spurned his advances, to find me. She knew that he would not rest until he had done so, no matter what the situation. But, he was not the only one on the hunt…" she said softly.

"Bardock never said anything about Baxba dying." Harry frowned.

"He didn't die. He was merely wounded in the fight, though sadly, not as bad as my mother." She answered.

"Whoa… to go against the founders of Hogwarts together and hold his own…" Gohan frowned, getting a slap in the head from Harry.

"Oh, sorry." Gohan blinked.

"He tracked me to the forest where I was hiding. When I refused to return with him, he became violent. Then, we were interrupted…" she said.

"By who?" Harry asked.

"King Baxba's son, Prince Ragnok. He followed the Baron after his father was wounded." The Gray Lady said.

"The Baron? You mean —?" Gohan stammered.

"The Bloody Baron, yes. When he saw the prince, he immediately faced the prince. Despite his best efforts, the prince killed him with the Baron's own sword. He then faced me. When I refused to go with him, he attacked me and killed me with the same sword that he used to kill the Baron." She then pulled the side of her chest to show a single red mark in her pale chest.

"All these centuries later, he wears his chains as regret for failing to save me…" she said softly as she floated in slow circles around Gohan. Gohan gulped.

"It's strange… you're like him a bit. Yet… you don't carry the same air of arrogance or evil that he did… but, you carry yourself with the air of power and nobility…" she frowned. Gohan frowned. They only had forty minutes left.

"You've already told someone this story, haven't you? Another student?" Harry asked.

"I had… no idea… He was flattering. He seemed to… understand… to sympathise…" she said softly.

"Well, you weren't the first person Riddle wormed things out of. He could be charming when he wanted to be… he's certainly not the first or last person to use that technique." Gohan frowned, thinking of a certain android.

"I know what he's done! I know who he is! He defiled it! With dark magic!" she screamed.

"What happened to the diadem exactly?" Harry asked. The Gray Lady paused for a minute before continuing.

"I hid the diadem in a hollow tree in Albania." She said.

"So… Albania…" then, the two boys turned and began talking to each other.

"Albania. The same place that Voldemort first hid in, and then where Cell went…" Gohan frowned.

"Didn't President Griffin tell us that he met Riddle on an expedition to Albania?" Harry asked.

"Yeah… he must have been looking for the diadem! Riddle must have snatched it when Griffin wasn't looking… but when did Riddle put it in Hogwarts?" Gohan frowned, before both their faces lit up.

"The interview!" they said at the same time.

"Why didn't we think of that sooner? That's why he wanted the interview in the first place! He either hid it before or after he talked to Dumbledore!" Harry grinned.

"But he still wanted the job, though, as a bonus! Then… where did he hide it?" Gohan frowned.

"Thank you, Helena!" the two boys rushed off, leaving the Grey Lady confused.

"Still, the question is, where did he hide it? I mean, the fact that he had a Death Eater waiting for me in Ravenclaw Tower does indicate that it's not there." Gohan frowned. Then, Harry stopped cold.

"No…" he said softly.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"Last year, after I almost killed Malfoy in that bathroom, I hid the Half-Blood Prince's book in a cabinet… next to a bust wearing a tiara!" Harry finished with excitement.

"The Horcrux is in the Room of Requirement!" Gohan grinned. Then, he checked his watch. There was ten minutes left.

"GOHAN! GOHAN!" the two boys whirled to see Katie and Oliver run up to them.

"Guys, I take it the news isn't good?" Gohan asked. Now, the sun was starting to appear over the mountains.

"We did what you asked… we flew out there to see what we were against… my god." Oliver gaped.

"There were thousands! They almost killed us when we tried to come back. Good thing they didn't know how to fly!" Katie breathed.

"Get ready for battle!" Gohan ordered. The two nodded and took off down the corridor.

"Five minutes…" Gohan said softly as he looked at his watch. Light was filling the corridors. It was the first time in Gohan's life that he wasn't happy to see the sun. He and Harry raced to the window overlooking the wasteland that had used to be the Forbidden Forest. Then, a soft rumbling began as a black edge appeared on the horizon.

"Awww, crap!" Gohan cursed as he gritted his teeth.

"Keep in line!" Cell roared as he sat on his dragon, ahead of everyone else. Behind him, Death Eaters marched behind , as well as giants, Frieza's men, Dementors, and machines. Next to Cell was Lord Voldemort, Morgana, a asian man in a grey uniform, a Hispanic looking man in a blue uniform, and Tartarus.

"HOLD!" Cell roared as he held his hand up as he reached a small cliff, causing the army behind him to stop. Remus and Tonks looked at each other, before holding their hands out to each other.

"Oh boy…" Gohan said softly.

Intense, right? Keep reading! Review!
