Hey. Wow, I think this is one of the quickest times I have ever updated. Lol. Anyways, this is a fairly long chapter and this story is coming to an end. I have so many ideas and have planned this chapter so many times. I'm not very good at writing fights, so I'm sorry if it's naff. Hope you enjoy it and, as usual, Twilight and Harry Potter are not mine, though I wish I could 1) Write like that, and 2) Actually do magic. Life would be so much easier *Sigh*

Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter Twelve

Battle

The Denali Clan bad been picked up by Moody and Kingsley the next day and all of the Order, wolves, Bella and the two covens were all crammed into the Cullen's living room. Hermione huffed annoyed as Tanya complained about being so close to the Wolves. With a soft growl she enlarged the room and shot a glare at the two. "We are getting ready for Battle and you two are still arguing? You are on the same bloody side!" She yelled. The two had the grace to look ashamed and looked down at their feet.

Suddenly, Alice went into a trance. The Order members who had never seen a true seer at work looked at her intrigued. Jasper just ran his hand lightly up and down her arms as she stared unseeingly at the wall, her eyes seeing what was to come.

Victoria sped towards the Cullen house, her red eyes glinting excitedly with the thought of battle. She slowed as she reached her destination. She silently moved forward and looked into the house's windows. A lot of people were grouped in the house. They were talking tactics. "Harry, do you think the Order can use broomsticks and attack from above? They won't be expecting it." The girl, Granger, asked. Victoria smirked slightly.

"The Pack can ambush from the side. Our coats blend in and as long as we're down wind we won't get caught." The kid, Jacob, suggested. Victoria hissed in delight as she listened into the plans. It seemed the Granger girl and the Vampire had gotten help. With a last snarl, Victoria rushed back to her army.

Bellatrix was pacing as she awaited news on her enemies. Victoria appeared before her so suddenly that Bellatrix almost jumped, almost. "Well?" She snapped. Victoria growled. "Do not forget that you aren't in charge. That I can kill you in an instant." Bellatrix sighed. "I'm sorry. So, anything?" She replied. Victoria told her the plans and Bellatrix got a mad gleam in her eyes. "I have a plan. How long does it take a vampire to change?"

The vision changed before Alice's eyes and all she could do was watch and wait.

"What's going on? We haven't heard from Victoria or the Deatheaters in a week. Surely they would have made a move by now." Hermione exclaimed frustrated. "Oh, but we are." The large group turned to see Victoria and her newborns. "Hello." She smirked. "Where's the Deatheaters?" Harry yelled. "We're here, Potter. No need to yell, we can all hear you perfectly now. You smell so good; I'm going to enjoy eating you." Bellatrix sung, her voice now melodic and her red eyes dangerous and even more wild.

Victoria stood beside a beautiful and deadly Bellatrix. Rodolphus stood at her side, playfully nipping her neck with his blood stained teeth. The ground was littered with corpses. Bella and Jacob lay together, their hands touching; Harry and Ginny were together, Harry's head in Ginny's lap, the way they had been when Harry died; Hermione was lead next to the burning fire, her glazed eyes staring at Edward and the Cullen's burning bodies. Two newborns were adding the last parts of Tanya to the raging fire.

Alice gasped as she came out of the vision. "NO!" She yelled. The group, excluding the Vampires, jumped at her exclamation. "Alice?" Hermione asked timidly. "Hide the Order, the Pack and the Denali coven, Victoria's on her way. If she sees them then…" Alice trailed off, her eyes downcast. Hurriedly, the Order cast Do-not-notice charms on themselves and the others that needed to be hidden. Calmly, Hermione, the Cullens, Bella and Jacob sat down, assuming natural poses. Just in time.

As Alice said, Victoria arrived outside. She grinned evilly as she saw the small group sat on the sofas, seemingly unaware she was there. She turned and ran off back to Bellatrix.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief as Victoria left them. Before any of the charms could be lifted, there was a crack and a boy of about fifteen appeared before them, the Dark Mark on his arm.

"Bellatrix sends her greetings. She and Victoria say the Battle is to begin at sunset, at the place where this began for the Vampires." The boy told them. Hermione scoffed and the boy's eyes narrowed at her. "Wow, Voldemort sure was desperate to brand a bunch of fourteen year olds. He must have known he was losing." She remarked, smirking.

The boy glared at her. "The Dark Lord requested my service, he wanted a bigger army than your pathetic group." He hissed. Hermione laughed coldly. "So how did it feel? To see your friends die on the battle field? Oh wait, Deatheaters don't have friends, only allies." She sneered. The boy's grip on his wand increased. "How dare you…" He didn't finish as he got a deadly glare from Hermione's Vampire boyfriend.

"See you on the battle field." The boy snapped before apperating away. Hermione's eyes narrowed at the kid and quickly raised the enchantments on the others. "So, the battle is near. About time!" She stated, rolling her eyes.

Sunset arrived quickly and the members of the armies got into their positions. Some of the Order members got on brooms, while others hide under a do-not-notice spell in the woods, away from the clearing where the two armies would meet. The wolves and Denali clan were standing downwind of the battle, careful not to let their scent reach Victoria or the Newborn's delicate sense of smell.

Shortly after they arrived, there was a loud crack and Bellatrix and the Deatheaters appeared, followed shortly by the Vampires. Bellatrix's brown eyes narrowed on Hermione. "Hello, Mudblood." She snarled. Victoria smirked as she locked eyes with Bella, who refused to stay home and be baby-sat. "Bella, you came. Perfect." Victoria purred.

Bella grabbed Hermione's hand and the two cousins stood strong against their tormentors. "How do you expect to beat us with just 10 of you?" Victoria challenged. "With our own army." Hermione retorted, her eyes narrowing.

At the same time, the Wolves and Denali clan stepped out of the woods and the Order members made themselves known. "Now, I believe there are 18 witches and wizards, two covens of Vampires, half of them with powers, and a pack of wolves. And, what's more, you may have double the people that we do, but we've been training to fight more than one person at a time. Clever huh?" Hermione quipped.

With a snarl, Victoria leapt forward to Bella. Esme jumped in front of her, protecting her and biding her time. Jacob phased and grabbed Bella, running off into the forest with her. The battle had begun.

Harry, Hermione and Ginny stuck together, moving forward the whole time, battling Deatheaters two at a time. They were cutting a path clearly through the Deatheaters and, luckily, so far hadn't sustained a single casualty. A gap appeared in the fighting and Harry saw it. "Hermione, go! I just saw Victoria run off to find Bella. Find Lestrange and get her away from here. Get them in the same area, it'll be easier. And good luck!" Harry yelled. Hermione nodded and darted through the gap, heading the same Victoria had taken only moments before. Thankfully, Bellatrix saw her and followed her, wanting to get Hermione alone, fight her and kill her, finishing her job.

Edward stood back to back with Emmett and Jasper, just as they had during training. A newborn leapt from the side and Jasper swiftly grabbed him, tearing off him arm. As Jasper dismembered the vampire, Emmett and Edward watched his back, protecting him. The newborn's screams didn't even affect the three brothers; they knew it was what they had to do.

Edward's keen eyes watched constantly for Victoria as well as fighting the onslaught of newborns. He heard a yell and the three turned to see Alice getting covered by a swarm of bloodthirsty newborns.

Jasper let out a low growl and charged into the masses. With the help of Emmett and Edward, he cleared the newborns away from his mate and helped her to her feet, hissing at anyone who came too close to her that wanted to harm them. Alice turned to Edward. "Victoria just went that way. Go, hurry. It's time to end this." She told him. Edward nodded and ran off.
