Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not min, this is a story from a fan.

((BSC 6 C30) C221 And so it begins.

As the last turned around Harry jumped over them. His wand was a blur as his sword appeared in his other hand. Bella was right behind him as Daphne and Hermione grabbed Luna and Tracy to be popped away by the house elves they called. As Daphne and Hermione popped away Neville and Susan rushed on with their own weapons. They separated a little and took one of the men each. It still left a couple more men free but they could not fight them because they had their hands full. As they all glanced at the side they saw Goblins rushing at them. One of them stuck his axe into the air and said for Family.)

(BSC 6 C31) C222 And so it goes on.

The moment one of the Goblins said for Family, most of the Goblins knew the fight was on. While some of the fighters from the Army of Grindelwald rushed out of the forest. They were throwing spells at the friends and Goblins.

Bogrod had rushed downstairs and was now standing between Sirius and James. He had wanted to rush into the fight as well, but the moment he saw his own fighters go before him he waited. They were showing the friends they were family all the way. So as he watched on he turned to Sirius and James. "Why didn't you join them," he ask them accusingly.

Both Sirius and James looked at him from either side. They weren't sure how to answer him. Bogrod hadn't joined them either. "Look who is talking," Sirius said. "I do not see you rush into that fight with them".

James was nodding along but he knew he was of the same mind. He wanted to join in but when he saw them go he knew he was outclassed. "I'm not sure if we would do good or bad if we join. They are going head on and we are not on their level".

"Finally someone who is wising up," Augusta said as she stepped behind them throwing up a shield to keep a Wayworth spell from hitting them. "None of us are at their level and if we join now we will only be in their way. As you can see it is ten of us against about twenty-five of them". The moment she said it Daphne and Hermione rushed passed them. "I stay corrected, it is twenty-seven of them against twelve of us, so they are outnumbered".

"There are more of them than there are of us. How can you say that they are outnumbered and not us" James looked at her as Augusta pointed at the fight. "Watch and pay attention".

The moment she had said it they all turned back to the fight and saw another twenty of their fighters coming out of the forest. Spells were going everywhere and some were hit as most of the spells went passed them all. Goblins might not fight with spells but with their weapons they were ruthless. As Goblins jumped between the friends, they saw magical fighting along with brute force. As A goblin went down a friend stepped on their backs and jumped into the air. They might make themselves a better target for the other side. But as the other side looked up at them. The goblins that went down jumped back up and struck the one that was within reach of them.

Most of Grindelwald's men went down but some really took the fight to them. Goblins went down next and friends were striking everywhere they could. When the numbers were eight against fourteen the one thing happened they did not expect yet. Daphne and Hermione had rushed back into the fight but as they jumped in Daphne did not pay attention. A spell struck her right in the face and she went down. Bella saw it and ran to her side. She too did not pay the attention she needed and a spell went right at her. A goblin jumped in front of the spell and caught it on his armor. The armor shattered as the Goblin went down. Bella looked back as she saw how the Goblin had been hit and was hit herself by a stunner. Harry and Susan took the fight as Harry instructed Neville and Hermione to get them out of there. Again they looked at the friends but not at the enemy. So just when Susan and Harry went back into the fight Neville was struck because he had his back turned to the fight.

Harry saw it happening and lost it. He glanced over at Susan and both of them went to either side. They were making swimming motions with their arms as stunners came from their wands and weapons. It was the least draining spell to do but also the easiest. So while they threw one of the spells, they could also throw a second and third right after it. It all went so fast that the enemy could only protect themselves.

The family looked on and saw that they were not winning and didn't realize why they were doing this. But as they threw their spells they were also pushing the enemy closer to each other. When they were almost huddled together, the last Goblin struck. His double edge axe sliced from left to right. Over his head and it struck again in one swooping motion. Seven of them went down and the others rushed back into the forest.

Grindelwald and Voldemort had been looking on. Their Phinixes were sent out to stop the friends from attacking them. What they did not see coming was Luna walking onto the ground and to start talking to them. "Who is that and what is she doing," Voldemort asked as he saw that blond girl sitting down.

Grindelwald looked on but he too did not know why she did it. "I don't know, we all called her Loony because she isn't all there in her head," He told his other self. If he would have said it to the friends, Tracy would have attacked him.

"Are you going to send out more men right away?" Voldemort asked him. The last thing he wanted was for Grindelwald to send out his Death Eaters because they were the last he wanted to go.

Grindelwald looked at him and for the first time, he gave him a little smile. "Don't worry, I will save your Death Eaters as a last resort. To tell you the truth I wanted to send them out next. But after I lost Walter his men do not answer me. They are now fighting for themselves. You have seen them go out and as more of them fall. The angrier the others get. So they will be jumping in next to get their own revenge. For now, we will give them an hour and let them think we are giving up. After an hour I will send in my next fighters. We have seen some of them go down and we will have to wait for who will be coming back. If I had seen right, Bella, Daphne, and Neville all have been hit. So we give them an hour and then we will attack again.

"Why would you give them an hour," Voldemort asked. "If they have been hit now. Would it not be better to give them another blow on top of this".

"Yes, that would be better, But I still have to look if I can get the fighters back on our side. Now they are not listening and it is costing them. If they come back some might start to listen again and we will be standing stronger than we are now".

Harry and Susan dropped to their knees. The stunners might not take much out of them but by doing so many after each other, it still took a lot. As they went to their knees the Goblin dropped right between them. His double edge axe dropped to the ground and his hands went next to it as he breathed hard. Susan and Harry placed their hands on his back As Susan whispered something. All three of them disappeared and reappeared on the stage in the great hall. After a couple of deep breaths, Harry stood up with fire in his eyes. He looked over at Hermione and screamed. "What happened, Why the hell did you all rush back in that way".

Hermione had been sitting next to Neville as she looked up. Neville had his Goblin armor on and was only out of breath when he was brought back. Neville wanted to react but Hermione was ahead of him as she rushed onto the stage. Harry was still, looking at her with anger and some fear. Hermione didn't care as Sparkes were leaving his sword which carried his wand in the hilt of it. She slammed her arms around him and held him tight. There was a little Sonorus charm on the stage some everybody could hear her whispers. "They are alive Harry. Hurt but they are alive. We got them out in time. You did all you could and we forgot the first rule".

Harry tilted his head back a little and looked her in the eyes. As if there had been a clear question coming from him, all over the Greathall. As one, they all said. "Whatever happens, you always keep your eyes on the enemy". It was now that Harry looked at the eyes of Dan and Apparated away. None needed to ask where he had gone because they all knew he was in the Infirmary. Only theirs was on the seventh floor away from the others.

The moment Harry stepped through the door he rushed to the two beds. Bella and Daphne lay side by side with no space between the beds. They were holding hands and when they saw Harry rushing in they hung their heads. Daphne was bandaged across her face and Bella on her arms. Poppy stepped up to him and placed her hands on his shoulders. When he looked at her his eyes asked what happened. "They will be alright Harry. Daphne will have a scar running over her face but we can do a lot about it. Not with magic but the Muggles have ways we have not. Bella will be fine. Nou Bella can join you all in a couple of hours. Daphne is out of the fight and will not be joining you anymore".

Harry walked over to Daphne and took her hand in his. Her head was almost covered all the way. Only a bit of her nose and mouth was visible. He kissed her softly and told her to get to Potter Castle to be safe. The moment he had said it Daphne turned her head to him. He could not see her eyes but he knew there was anger in them. In his mind, he heard her telling him.

^If you think I get out of here you have another thing coming. I might have a scar over my face but it will not keep me from kicking your ass all over the castle. If it all goes wrong I have to be here for the final push. You know we all have to be here so I'm not going anywhere. An no back talking mr^.

Daphne could not see a thing but with every word she thought. Others could see Harry's smile getting bigger and bigger. They all knew she still had the fight in her so she would be okay. After another kiss, they all walked out of the Infirmary. The moment the door closed Daphne gave a sigh and turned to Poppy. "When can I go out and fight with them".

Poppy just looked at her and knew she would ask this the moment she could. While everyone had gone out there was one who stayed behind. Isabella had sat down next to her daughter and looked at Bella who just smiled as she heard the words Daphne had asked.

"Just tell her Aunty because we all know you make it worse for us just to keep us save. But we have all started this and we all will finish it together if we can".

This time it was Poppy who had to give a sigh. "I know but I can not clear her. I can close the scar that is running diagonally over both of her eyes. If I close it, it can't have anything hitting it. If something hits her, she might go blind and then there is nothing I could do about that". While Poppy told it Bella was telling it to all that could hear her in her mind. When she was done she just had to say what Harry thought to her.

"What about a muggle helmet?

They all turned to Bella as she spoke up. "What did you say," Poppy asked.

"Well, Muggles have helmets which will surround all of her head. With runes, we could make it stronger and she can help us by looking over the wall until she is ready to join again. At least that is what Harry and Lily just told me" and Bella pointed at her head. Poppy shook her head as an Elf dropped a helmet at her feet. It was now, she knew that no matter what she said. Daphne would be back in the fight any way she could.

Harry had gone back and went to the stage where Luna was sitting with Tracy arguing over the fact she had walked right into danger. When she said she had seen it, Tracy asked if she had also seen Daphne getting hurt. If so why did she walk out anyway?

"She walked out because if she didn't it would have been a lot worse" Susan called out as she joined Harry on his way to the stage. Luna had a sad look and Tracy knew Susan had been right. As Harry sat down on a chair Susan asked what Luna had done to get them to turn back on Grindelwald.

It was now that Luna started to smile and just said she told them a riddle. "If they answered right she would walk away if they were wrong they had to help us".

"You told them a riddle and none of them had it right, but they live for riddles," Hermione asked in astonishment. "What riddle did you tell them?

The Look from Luna was getting wicked. "Wel it was this one".

"You are in need of socks. Now in a closet in the darkest part of the house/gave/castle whatever you like. That closet was filled with only red and blue socks. You can't see them and there is no way to make any form of light. How many socks do you need to get to have all socks from one color".

Hermione sniffed. "Is that it, It's simple three".

"Wrong," Luna said as her smile grew a little.

"What, we only have two feet so we only need three to get at least two of the same color," Hermione told her.

Again the smile of Lune grew a little. That is what the first two said but I told them they weren't human like we are".

Hermione started to think and counted on her fingers. All of them saw it and none would step between Hermione and a riddle she could not solve. After a couple of minutes, she said "Nine. If you take nine you will have at least four socks of the same color and they have four feet, so Nine it is".

"Wrong again".

"What, but the answer is nine".

"NoP" Luna said as she popped the P with a bigger smile. "It was the answer that took out the other two".

"So what is it because I don't get it," Hermione said because she knew she did not have time to figure it out. The fighting might start back up any minute. So she needed to know or her mind would keep going back and she could not focus on the fighting.

"None," Luna said.

"NONE, why none," Hermione asked her.

"Sphinxes do not wear socks" and Luna started to laugh out loud as Harry joined her.

Grindelwald was looking from behind a tree at Hogwarts Castle. He realized he had underestimated the enemy. He knew they had help because kids could never outthink him in the way they were doing. "What are we going to do now?" Voldemort asked from behind him which made Grindelwald jump up. Slowly he turned around and looked at his own soul piece in the container that was called Voldemort. "I mean we do not have many beasts left to throw ahead of us. You only have one Chimera and Twelve Yeti's. They are all like the Sphinxes meaning you do not know if you can trust them".

Grindelwald hated when someone else was talking logic to him. Especially if it was himself that was doing it. As he looked back he stumbled back as the head elf of Hogwarts stood in front of him. This time he did not have a note but he did tell him something. "Kings Hogwarts wants you to come to the front. He has something to tell yous before he is goings to kill yous".

Voldemort had already pulled his wand but when he pointed it at the elf the elf popped away. So there was nothing left then to go to the castle and see what the brat wanted. He was sure Harry wasn't going to pull a fast one. He did it with Walter but Grindelwald knew that Walter would have done the same if he had been faster. So he was sure they could play dirty but up until now, they had started with the dirty part. So it was about thirty minutes later both of them stepped out of the forest looking at the castle. They had seen them fight with the Chupacabras, but they had not seen how they had fought them.

Sure it took a lot of them but he had not seen the setup they had. So as he stood in front of the threes they had a good look. Still, they could not see how they had set up their defense. He saw two groups waiting for them, one on the left and one on the right. If he had seen it right he had seen muggles, werewolves, and all kinds of magical beings. How they had brought them together he did not know but somehow they had done it. It once again told him the brats hadn't done this. He might be fighting them but they weren't pulling the strings. Someone else was doing it and just like them they were standing back.

Both of them had been standing there for about ten minutes when they were joined by their men. At that moment the friends stepped out of the castle with a yellow flag in their hands. "I can see you all have started to grow some brains. But you need a white flag to give up" Lucius screamed from the side of Voldemort.

The next moment he was lying on the ground with a thing that looked like a ball in his hand. He had to shake his hand and looked at the thing that was hollow with some kind of window for the eyes.

"Daphne, You do know you needed that helmet to keep your head protected," Harry told her as he gave her a smirk.

Daphne looked at him and the others and all of them could see a cut running from left to right over her face. It had been a deep cut and it was clear she had no reason to be in the fight anymore. "Stuff it all of you. I'm in this fight until the end or until we really can't fight anymore. Now I can still fight and I blame it all on Bella and Harry". Both Bella and Harry gaped at her and spluttered a little bit. "Don't you two splutter at me. You both are always going on until you can't go on anymore, so you are both rubbing off on me and that is why it is your fault". After it, she stuck out her tongue and turned back at Lucius who had scrambled back to his feet. From behind her back, she took out some Goggels that would do the same thing as the helmet would have done. But it was easier to fight in.

Poppy had stood back and was shaking her head from left to right. She hated it but all the friends were the same. They were just too stubborn to listen to her. In one way she could understand it and on the other, it frustrated the hell out of her. So without them knowing it, she swore to herself. That thought was that when the battle and war were over she would put all of them into the draft of the living dead until she had rested enough to deal with all of them again. She knew she would not do it but the fantasies of a little bit of rest and not worrying about them were wonderful.

Lucius had stepped back up and wanted to shout. Voldemort stopped him as Grindelwald stepped a little in front of them. "Alright, Harry my boy".

"HE IS NOT YOUR BOY" Neville screamed from the top of his lungs with a Sonorus on himself that blew them away.

Grindelwald stumbled back a little. He knew one of them would call it out but not this loud. He had said it to rattle them but this had rattled him. Somehow he knew they had lost a lot of people, why else were they calling them out of the forest? He wasn't going to surrender so they probably were. The Yello flag was just Yellow because they could not have found a white one. He chuckled a little to himself as he thought none were using flags anymore like they did in the old days. It just showed them they were young and thought they would go free by waving a little cloth of fabric around. "So you are going to surrender and are realizing we are".

"What are you on about you mental old goat" Susan was the next to scream. "First of all we do not surrender. If we did we would have told you and would not be waving Lucius Underwear around".

Everyone from the side of Grindelwald and Voldemort who had stepped out of the woods were looking at the Yellow flag. They could all see it was something that looked like Nickers. It was then they looked at Lucius adjust started to laugh". The same thing happened on their own side and most of the Adults just shook their heads. Lucius started to scream that it wasn't his and Susan had what she wanted.

She let it go for a couple of minutes and then she spoke up again. "Now we wanted to tell you something and we wanted to give you all a chance to surrender and get a real trial before you all get shipped off. But before all that we wanted to be honest with, both of you and your men. Did any of you know they had split their souls so they would never die"?

It was now that the men of Grindelwald and Voldemort started to whisper among themselves. It unsettled they both and were wondering where those brats were heading.

Luckily they didn't need to wait long as Lily stepped next to the friends as she was pushed there by Minerva. Lily gave her a dirty look over her shoulder and Listened to Daphne as she whispered in her ear. Slowly her angry look changed to one of joy and she looked at Grindelwald as she spoke. "Grindelwald, I know that you made me into a Soul container". They weren't going to tell that the name was Horcrux so none would get any ideas. We also knew you did it to Petunia, Vernon, and that Noseless one beside you. I'm no longer one and Petunia and Vernon are dead. He is all you have left".

Even if there was about a Quidditch field between them, they could all see Grindelwald turn white in fear. "I knew you turned me into one. But I never knew you turned them into those things also.

"There was no need for you to know it because the least people that know about it the better, You know it as well as I do. Let's hope they don't know about your little containers".

"I'm not so sure about it anymore," Voldemort told him in a whisper. "Look they have all of them right there. It is my diary and the ring the cup from Hogwarts that I. Merlin's beard Bella has stolen my cup from Gringotts that I asked her to place in her fault. The Neckless I had placed in the gave and I think it has to be that Black boy that had taken it from me because I asked the help of his house-elf".

"You never deal with a Black. It was one thing Albus told me because he had learned it from Charlus Potter. You never deal with a Black unless you have them on your side" Grindelwald told him as he smirked a little. Secretly he was glad that his last Horcrux wasn't more intelligent than him. When he thought about it he also realized that if the Hocruxes from Voldemort were gone it also meant that his last Horcrux became more important to keep safe. "So they have your cup, ring, Neckless, and Diary".

Voldemort had always been pale. But now he was white. No, not only my cup, Ring necklace, and Diary. They also got the Tiara I got from Hufflepuff. So they got five of my Horcruxes if I looked at what they have in front of them".

"So you made five of them," Grindelwald asked a little in wonder that his Horcrux had gone further than he would have dared to go.

"NO, I have made six and my last one had been. Merlin's freaking balls. They got my snake too so they got all of mine".

Grindelwald wanted to curse because all he had left now was Voldemort himself and he was the one for Voldemort. It took the Idea of killing him after the war none negotiable. He would need him to keep on living because as long as both of them lived they could never die. It also told him he could split his soul two more times to get to Seven and make their chance to survive even better. But to get that done they had to win this battle first.

Susan let go of a whistle and let them snap their heads back at them all. "As you can see some of these are still possessed". The moment she said it Voldemort wanted to rush at them to save them and himself. In one fast motion, she pulled out a metal flask and dropped a drop of Basilisk venom on one of them. Voldemort dropped to the floor and screamed as a part of his soul was destroyed.

Harry had heard from the one elf that had been looking that this would happen. He had told it to the others but this time they all saw it. Grindelwald had a face of hurting so he too felt some of the effect of it but nothing more. He was making himself ready to attack and get the last one for himself so Harry screamed to do it now. As fast as it was said, was as fast as Susan got it done. Voldemort screamed again in pain, while Harry and Bella blasted Grindelwald back with a protection shield before he could get to it.

"You know what you have done. Now you got me really mad. I was going to lock you all up but keep you alive. Now I'm going to kill you for sure" And Grindelwald threw the biggest Bombarde he could let go. Harry jumped up between them all and held up a shield. This time He held it but felt his feet starting to slide backward toward the castle. He felt himself slamming against the castle wall but he kept his shield up. It did not hurt so he looked to the side knowing Bella had placed a cushioning charm just before he hit the wall. Both of them smirked as Harry kept up his shield.

"Attack, AttacK, ATTACK" Grindelwald screaked from the other side.

From all over the Forbidden Forest people rushed out of the trees. They were followed by Yeties, Vampires, and most of the people he had gotten to fight for him. It was a long way from the edge of the forest to the castle so they had little time to see that the Death Eaters weren't joining in the fight. So it told them Grindelwald and Voldemort were still keeping fighters back. As they looked a little closer they still saw some Veela's, Werewolves, and some Trolls they had missed. It wasn't a big surprise and only a hand full. But they were still going to fight them and that was hard.

The shield of Harry had dropped and he had pulled out his sword. "We got the Vampires. Dan take the Yeties out with grenades because your guns and spells will have no effect on them. It was then they all stopped and they heard a scream. From the middle of the forest emerged a Chimera. None knew what to do. They could take the vampires and they could also take the Chimera. But they couldn't take on both at once.

"You go to the vampires, while we will keep that beast at bay. When you are done you can help us" Minerva screamed as she rushed from the door between the opening in the ward's stones and rushed at it. In her run, she was joined by Grandmere and Augusta. None of them had done what the friends had asked. None of them had gone away and were now joining in the fight. They hated it because they had been the three they wanted to keep save whatever would have happened. It wasn't so, so now they had to fight harder to help them sooner and to keep them whole or as whole as they could.

Harry had been the first to reach the Vampiers and sliced with his sword at the one that was next to the one he was looking at. That one had been looking at Daphne who was running next to him. From the last fight, they learned that Vampires were focused on one person. When they were they were unstoppable. But it was also a weakness because you could attack from the other side of the one focused on you that it was attacked by something or someone else.

As the sword of Gryffindor rushed over the head of Daphne and sliced the arm of the vampire clean off. Daphne had ducked down and pushed her little daggers straight ahead right through the chest of the vampire that was heading to Harry. You did not kill it but you would slow it down. The sword of Gryffindor sliced through one arm but the swing went on. As Daphne stabbed the one vampire that had been focusing on Harry. it was now looking down as the sword went on and sliced off its head.

They had already been fighting and the fatigue started to show. Susan went on with Bella. They were teaming up but Bella needed a rest. They knew by winding them up the fighting would go faster than they had Grindelwald wanted it to go. It was now they knew that Grindelwald was running the show. He was rattled so to say so he was throwing everything at them that he could. He was still, holding back, that was something they knew. They were too but they did not know if they could hold them off long enough before they needed the rest of their army. Susan rolled over to the ground as Bella jumped over her. She sliced her little shorter sword at the head of the vampire that attacked Susan but she only got a part of it. Susan did the same with the one from Bella but she only got a bit. One of the claws came down and it struck Susan in the side. Five nails sliced through her side and it left bloody slices that they saw from the castle wall.

Susan grabbed her side and before she realized she was on the ground two claws came at her head. The only thing she could do now was to hold up her metal rings and protect her from the attack. Bella saw it happening but she could not get to Susan because she was dealing with her own Vampier now. Somehow they had separated a little bit and could not use the confusion to hurt them. They were each fighting their own and that meant protecting yourself more than the fighting they could do.

Neville and Hermione were dealing a little bit better with their Vampires than Susan and Bella were. They weren't as lucky as Daphne and Harry who had taken their Vampires by surprise. But they still did what they had to do. Hermione did a Pirouette as her ball with spikes took on a bigger angle. The Vampire of Neville had seen it coming by at the last moment and jumped over it. The luck they had was when Hermione went down Neville swung his pole around and let go of a cutting curse. It did not hit the head of the vampire but his legs. The vampire of Hermione went down as his legs kept standing at their last spot. It went head-first to the ground and when it came down. The ball of spikes from Hermione swung on and hit it in the head just as it landed in front of it. It took it clear off and that was number one.

The other one had jumped over the ball and spikes from Hermione and turned around and looked back as the Vampire lifted his hands in the air. His fingers spread out nails sticking further out to grab her head as he brought them down. The moment he did The pole from Neville went right between his hands and the moment it touched its head. Neville blasted a bombard from the edge of the pole straight at the head of the vampire, taking it off completely.

Susan had closed her eyes as she kept the metal rings in front of her head. She knew the others were dealing with their own vampires and Bella was too far away to help her or for her to help Bella. From the corner of her eye, she saw the hand coming. She had just opened her eyes a tiny bit but she had to, just to know how to protect herself and from what. It almost hit her as she opened her eyes a little further. Just when she had done it she lifted her metal ring to the side and saw something shiny going between it straight into the eye of the Vampire. It jerked his head back out with a little knife sticking out of it. One of his hands went along the metal ring and it sliced its fingers clear off. Susan looked back up and saw a little angel or devil rushing after that little knife and striking its head with a bigger one. She didn't need to know who it was because she knew it was Astoria that came to rescue her.

From her spot on the ground, she looked around her. There were about ten vampires from the side of Grindelwald that had rushed at them. Now she saw that there were about thirty from their own side that were taking the fight for them. She was helped up by Bella as they looked for what they could do.

This was it again for this time.

See you all again in a couple of weeks.

Gr Winmau.
