42. The Last Moments of the Battle
I had helped Fred up and we walked out of the Great Hall, hands entwined. We entered the courtyard to see Voldemort, his followers who had Hagrid that was holding a body. Neville was in the middle of good and evil as he spoke, "Sure we lost some people. Harry. Remus. Tonks. Fred. But we-"
Fred cut him off, "What? I was only catching a few Z's." Everyone gasped as they whirled round to see Fred.
"What a way to make an entrance." I whispered to him, earning a chuckle.
"I killed you!" A male Death Eater shouted.
Neville smiled and dropped the Sorting Hat, revealing the Gryffindor Sword as he shouted, "You see everyone? We can still win!" The body that was being held by Hagrid moved and dropped to the ground, revealing it to be Harry. Death Eaters started to zoom away and Bellatrix ran around, ordering them to stay and fight.
Fighting started once more and Fred and I ran to George. George stared and then grabbed Fred, hugging him tight. Fred welcomed the embrace and said no comments or teasing, knowing how upset his best friend and twin was. They pulled away from each other and George whispered, "C'mon, let's win this thing." We smiled and shot spells as the remained Death Eaters that decided to stay and fight.
We ran back into Hogwarts and saw Neville down on the ground. I ran to him and quickly helped him up, "Here." I said, handing him the sword, "Kill the snake." I said, looking at the snake that was heading towards Ron and Hermione. Neville smiled and nodded, then ran into its direction. The twins stood behind me as we watched.
Harry and Voldemort was duelling, fighting on their knees. I looked at Neville and as the snake was about to attack, Neville swung the sword and cut its head off, earning a hiss and making the snake disappear in a puff of smoke. Everything fell silent as we all watched Harry disarm Voldemort. The Dark Lord himself let out a low moan in pain as he slowly...disintegrated. His skin flaking away until there was nothing left of him. We were all silent as Harry stood up. Then, one by one, people started to clap and cheer. Soon the whole school was cheering at the victory that we had achieved.
Harry walked over to his friends and I took Fred and George's hands, smiling at them both. We walked into the Great Hall and Molly ran up to us, tackling Fred into a tight bear hug and kissing every part of his face. The rest of the Weasley family came forward as Fred let out a moan, "Mum! You're so embarrassing." Everyone chuckled and Molly finally let go of my husband.
"Hey Scy, how did Fred come back from the dead?" Bill asked. They all looked at me so I sat down, followed by everyone and told them the whole thing, who I saw and how I helped them, then they used the last of their magic to return Fred back to the living.
Fred held me tight and he told his story as everyone then listened to him, "It was so weird. I remember my last moment of a wall crashing into me, then everything went dark and remained dark. I kept crying and shouting for George, or Scy, or anyone, to hear me, but no one came. I then thought of how I broke my promise to Scylla and felt terrible.
"But then a bright spotlight hit me. I looked up at who was causing it to see Kester. Only Kester. He told me I had to move my arse and get back up, to move and help with Scylla. He told me I had to do nothing but will myself to live. So I did. The next thing I know, I'm coughing and Scylla is crying."
I looked at Fred and George spoke, "So your here for good?"
Fred nodded, "I'm guessing till I grow old and die again."
I put my head on his shoulder and whispered, "Then I'm over the moon." I felt Fred smile and pulled me closer to him, a future firmly before both of us.
