Chapter Forty-Eight

"So we have to go hunting for horcruxes?" Hermione asked as we sat by the lake the day before we would leave.

"Yup," I say popping the 'p', "Once that's done, we're going to be fighting him,"

"Wouldn't it have been smarter to not tell him about you knowing about them?" Tracy asked as she leaned against Daphne, "Even I wouldn't have done that,"

"I felt like it besides he can't make anymore," I began to braid Luna's hair, "Lady Sora sent a message telling me that she has made it impossible for him to do it regardless of what he does,"

"Even if he follows through all the steps?" Draco asked causing me to nod.

"Damn that sucks for him," Fred said as he reclined against a large boulder, "What if he moves them?"

"The goblin's gave me something to track the damn things," I reached in my pocket space to reveal a compass that looked like a log pose only unbreakable, "They said that this would guide us to them,"

"Damn that's a nice piece of tech," George whistled at the sight of it, "What happens when we get rid of the things?"

"We send a notice to Voldemort about a place to battle," I answer with a small smile, "Once that's done, we'll set it up to make it impossible for him to win and take him out,"

"What if he doesn't come?" Susan asked as she sat with her feet in the water, "I mean isn't he smart enough to not fall into an obvious trap?"

"Not if I give him an offer he can't refuse," I say while moving away from Luna after I finished putting multiple braids into her hair, "Trust me what I'm going to offer him will be worth the danger to him,"

"What are you going to offer him?" Tracy asked causing me to smirk.

"It wouldn't be a secret if I told you," I say in a sing song voice causing them to groan.

I closed my eyes as I lean back against the willow tree. I cracked open an eye as Draco murmured, "You know, it just seems like yesterday that we were crossing the lake back in first year..."

"Yeah," Hannah smiled slightly, "Remember how scared everyone was about the sorting?"

"Yeah remember Ronald thinking we would have to fight a troll?" I asked causing laughter to echoed through the area.

"Remember how you got put on the quidditch team first year?" Hermione asked causing me to nod.

"How could I forget?" I asked with a slight grin, "I pulled an unforgettable dive without any training,"

"Ooooh remember second year with that demented house elf?" Tracy asked causing multiple snorts.

"How could we not?" Neville asked with a roll of his eyes, "It tried to kill Kai,"

"I still can't shake the feeling of having the bones in my arm regrown," I shudder as I rubbed that arm, "I have to say it was fun pranking the idiotic bastard in revenge,"

"Whatever happened to Lockhart anyway?" Tracy asked causing me to hum, "Kai?"

"He was trying to leave when Ronald and I went to tell him about the basilisk," I sat up with a small yawn, "We ended up dragging him down with us. Ron lost his wand to him only for it to back fire when the idiot tried to erase our memories," I smirk with a smile, "Your idiot of a little brother was useful for once,"

"Yeah," The twins shook their head.

"Man I can't believe that tomorrow we leave this place for good," Blaise said causing all of us to look at the castle, "I think I'm going to miss it,"

"Yeah," I agreed before remembering something, "Hey anyone up for doing something awesome?"

"One last prank?" Hermione asked causing the others to perk up.

"Yup," I grinned at them, "Wanna go out with a bang?"

"Hell yeah!" Was my reply.

Leaving Feast

I looked between my friends as we sat in the middle of the feast and they smirked. I lightly tapped my fingers against the table while filling my fingers with a bit of magic. The magic pulsed and sparked against the table before spreading across the seal I had sketched there hours ago under a few illusions. The seal glowed dimly in the lightly of the torch light as the magic slowly began to spread to the other seals all along the great hall. No one noticed the magic even as the seals glowed around them due to the small misdirection runes I placed around all the seals. Tracy tapped my arm causing me to look at her. She merely pointed down the line of students at Ronald. I snorted upon seeing him trying and failing to touch any of the food. I answer her unverbalised question, "I decided to curse him with not being able to eat more than he should. I got the idea after the punishment the gods gave Tantalus only he'll still be able to eat just not as much as before."

"He does need better table manners," Tracy muttered while scrunching her nose up.

"Maybe this'll make him get better," Hermione suggested.

I rolled my eyes at the suggestion and mentally counted down the seconds until the final seal would be powered up. When that occurred, a soft sizzling sound echoed around the room. It went unnoticed at first until it began to grow louder and louder. The misdirection runes slowly began to time out giving everyone a glimpse of the giant seal on the ceiling moments before it was set off. A loud boom echoed as fire works began exploding from the ceiling as the lights went out causing gasps to echo at the multiple pictures, scenes, and various things the fire works created. Multiple shrieks and screams echoed through the hall only to turn into cheers as the fire works continued. As the fireworks continued, Hermione leaned over and asked, "What's next?"

"Since that's the twins idea, the next would be Susan's," Hermione nodded softly, "After Susan's, Hannah's will go off. Once Hannah's done, it will be Draco's turn, Once Draco's is done, your's will go off. After your's is done, Blaise and Neville's will go off,"

"What happens after that?" Tracy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ours will go off," I answered with a slight grin.

"Sweet," Tracy grinned ferally, "An epic finale to end the year,"

I rolled my eyes at her before turning my head upwards as the fireworks died down. A soft hum filled the air before a beautiful spiral of stars bloomed like a flower before spinning around and separating into two separate forms. The forms became two woman. One held a sword and was kneeling. The other held a book with a cross on it. The kneeling one rose and offered a hand to the one with a book. The book keeper took her hand and the two began to dance. The dance was a beautiful thing that lit up the room with light as Hannah's part of the plan activated to send pulses of music and light through the room. Gasps exploded through the air as suddenly the two forms made of stars jumped from the ceiling to land on the ground. A dragon suddenly appeared and roared at the two as Draco's part was activated. The dragon began to dance around the two women causing gasps. Hermione's part appeared when the book flew out of the book keepers hand and floated above the dragon. The book opened and words began to float from the book to dance around the room. The words zoomed around like ribbons and told stories about what happened this year. Neville and Blaise's part stared after a few moments in the form of flower petals falling from the ceiling. The flower petals filled the air with a sweet scent as a burst of warm summer air blew through the hall. I took my eyes off the scene before me as Daphne asked, "Ours?"

"Five," I start the count down with a slight grin.

"Four," Tracy grinned ferally as she continued the count down.

"Three," Luna's dreamy voice murmured as the lights and flower petals slowed in their movements.

"Two," Daphne continued with a small giggle.

"One," We say together as the movements come to a complete stop.

A loud whistling sound filled the room causing all the murmurs that had been sprouting up stop. A soft hum filled the air as the dragon, the two women, the flower petals, and all the rest slowly drifted to the middle of the room. The soft hum slowly evolved into a soft voice as each broke apart into shards of shattered light: "Slowly, softly, silently,
The world begins to change,
The wind begins to pick up,
The water begins to speed up,
The earth begin to shake.

Our world's changing,
Rearranging,
Adapting,
Altering to a new course.

The earth is shattering,
We're standing on the edge,
Staring out into the abyss,
The new territory.

Our courage fading,
Our resolve crumbling,
Our strength fading,
Our nerves fraying.

The fears taking over,
The grief rising,
The shadows coming,
The heart beating faster and faster.

We're at the cusp,
A new territory awakening before us,
Our paths forked and divided,
A choice needs to be made.

The loyalty to home,
The loyalty to friends,
The loyalty to family,
The loyalty to leaders.

We have a choice,
The choice to continue,
The choice to fall behind,
Our choice has come,

What choice is yours?
Will you rise?
Will you fall?
Will you change your destiny?

It ain't set in stone,
It can be rewritten,
It can change,
It's your choice.

The edge is here,
The path before us,
The past behind us,
The future ahead.

The choice must be made,
Will you fight?
Will you stay?
The choice is yours.

Make the choice,
Make the choice,
Make the choice,
Make the choice!

The earth is shaking,
The water is a torrent,
The wind's a tornado,
The world has changed.

The choice has been made,
The world has changed,
The loyalty chosen,
The path is being taken.

It's up to you,
It's up..to you,
It's...up..to you,
It's...up...to...you."

The shattered pieces slowly faded from view like the stars in the night sky when dawn is coming. The hall was silent as the last few words and shattered pieces faded out like they had never been there. The silence was a heavy one that hadn't been there before. It was like every single person in the hall had realized that something had happened; that they had been told something unbelievable. It took a few minutes before someone began to clap. The clapping person was joined by another and then another. It continued until everyone was clapping and cheering. Warmth swelled through my veins at the sound and it was then that I realized something. I liked being able to cause such a reaction without meaning to. I liked showing off my skills and abilities. I liked being the center of attention when I deserved it. Perhaps that was one of the reasons I became a pirate. Perhaps it was because of this attention that I discovered after gaining my first bounty that I stayed a pirate. If so, could it be one of the things I would do after all was said and done? Maybe...Maybe just maybe I had found a new goal in life. One that I could go behind while still being a pirate. I wonder what the others would say to that. I smiled at the thought and shook my head. They would freak out most likely though Luffy was bound to be happy about it. After all, he had pointed out that everyone needed a goal. I had fulfilled my promise to him, so I needed something new to do. I had Law and the others yes, but I needed something more. I guess I still had time to decide.
