Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
Before we start we will go back to the last bit of the last chapter so we can go on from there.
(BSC 6 C25) C216 This is how it all begins.
Still, as one Manor burned down they went to the last one. The Parkinson Manor was still standing and they knew the corpses from the vampires were still there, just like a lot of bodies from the prisoners. At least the Death Eaters would think that the Prisoners would still be there. So when they brought down those wards not only the Death Eaters showed up but also all the men of Grindelwald. Even Grindelwald and Voldemort showed up as they stood at the back of them all. It would be an ideal time to take them down. But there was no way they would win this battle. They were outnumbered, in a place they didn't know. And the worse bit of it all would be that they would be in a battle they hadn't prepared for. Still, they had to do something. It was Bella who had the idea. "Well, we know they are in the forbidden forest. If they are smart enough they know that we already know they are there".
"Do you think they know," Hermione asked her.
"I did say IF, didn't I" And Bella almost laughed. "Well, we still have some of those paint bombs left. You know the one we used to paint them with color paint to keep them out of our way because they could not wash it off." It was now the friends who smiled altogether. Draco was sitting on the side looking on. He looked at them and just had to ask why they were laughing like that.
Narcissa also looked at them and at Nolwenn her girlfriend who was looking back at her, pleadingly. "Harry are their trash cans".
Harry looked up and frowned as he looked at her. He saw her eyes were going from Him to Nolwenn and back to him. Harry shook his head and told her NO. "Alright you can go with them. But if there is one trashcan you come right back, young lady".
Nolwenn gave Narcissa a dirty look and got shoved by Daphne. "You, Stop Complaining, she called you a young Lady". "If Harry calls us that, then we are too young so take it".
"She could ask me to be careful you know" Nolwenn snapped with a smile.
"She knows you are when you are with us. You are only in trouble when there are trash cans near you" Daphne said as he turned to the others. "Let's go before she understands what I said".
"Hay, I heard that," and Nolwenn rushed after them.
Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
(BSC 6 C26) C217 Back to Hogwarts.
Just like before they all rushed down the mountain and started to circle around them. Snot and Dobby had popped away to get the Bombs as they were now Popping around them handing them the bombs. They were in little paint packs with a little timers on them. Dan had told them to turn the switch to fifteen seconds and then throw them in the middle of them all.
Nolwenn had found a place next to Harry and was holding her breath. Somehow she liked this as it gave her a trill. When Dobby handed him one of the paint bombs. She looked on as it went just like it had done before. They all held up their hands and waited for a sign from Hermione.
With his other hand, he gave one to her and smiled as she took it. She placed it for fifteen seconds and held her thumb on the button. The moment she would push it the time would start counting back.
Grindelwald and his men had walked up just like Voldemort and his men had done behind them. This time they had seen them walking slowly. They were afraid of what was to come. It told them they had brought the fear in them. It was a good thing but also bad because they were looking out for what was to come.
Nolwenn was again halfway under the cloak of Harry and looked on. She was looking closely so she could watch it back in a Pensieve. Hermione dropped her hand and as one, they all threw the bombs in the middle of the group. Some exploded in the group while others exploded above their heads. To their surprise, the colors were all over and the Death Eaters as the men of Grindelwald were all looking like a rainbow.
"Harry, What is so good about this" Nolwenn asked as she looked on and kept herself from laughing out loud.
Harry kept his wand ready as he looked on. "You remember the time we put those Color bombs in the Malfoy manor". Nolwenn nodded but still didn't see why this would help them. "Well, this time we could see no way to fight it out right here and now. With the last Manor, we only had Walter and Lucius. Now we had all of them and we were outnumbered. So if we picked a fight here, we would have lost. Now they are all covered in paint and will go back. I have to go back right away and throw up the outer wards of Hogwarts to keep them from going away".
"Why would you do that? You can always fight later" Nolwenn asked as the Death Eaters and Grindelwald men started to pop away.
"Shit I have to go or I will be too late," Harry said as he started to run up the mountain.
Bella went after him as Daphne shook her head. ^Zanita, throw up the outer wards of Hogwarts Everyone can get in, but no one gets out. No apparition, no Portkeys, no floo, NO, nothing".
Have way up the mountain, Harry stopped mid-run and looked back at Daphne. Bella had done the same and started to shake her head. "We should have thought about that". Harry just nodded along because he too had forgotten he could have Zanita do it for them.
When they all got back to the campsite they saw that Dobby had all kinds of mini burgers ready for all of them. When Harry got the plate he took one and held it out to Draco. "The brown burger is on the raw side, I think your girlfriend would like it better". Draco got big eyes, while she smiled up at him and grabbed it from the plate. Dobby was already making another round of mini burgers for all of them. After a couple of moments, Harry turned to Nolwenn. "The fight is happening tonight" and Draco took in a deep breath. "Don't worry you don't have to do anything. I only needed you here to learn about the kids. If you want to be there you can. We can always find something for you to do. But I will tell you this. Your mother will be fighting your father. If she needs help we will help her and if he throws one killing spell we will kill him".
"Good" Draco snapped. He immediately looked down in shame for snapping at Harry. "If he can walk kids to their deaths like he was doing an hour ago. Then he does not deserve to live". Narcissa did not know what she had heard so Draco told her what he had seen. The others smiled as they all saw Draco doing everything he could to keep her from rushing off to kill the bastard right there right now.
Harry got to his feet and placed a hand on the shoulder of Narcissa. "You will get your chance tonight. Now sit down because I have something to tell Nolwenn and Draco first". So Harry turned to Nolwenn and looked at her with a smile. "Now, with the wards up they can't get out. So they have to come for us or we will go to them. They are tired right now so they will take a couple of hours of rest. We will too and we will take a pepper up. I will not rest as much as the others but I will stand in the back on the walls looking on ad sometimes during the battles. That is the way I will rest from time to time" Before anyone could go on he went on to stop them from reacting. "Now, they will be painted up for at least a week or two. This will mean we will know who they are without seeing their dark mark. It will help us round them up after the battle". Harry looked over at his grandmother. "Yes, I'm sure we will win. In the end, they will all be locked up inside of the wards. So they will not get out. Now we might lose Hogwarts in the battle, but with this, we are still winning the war".
Draco looked at him with a frown. "We will explain it to you later," Narcissa told him softly.
Harry looked around and knew that everyone knew they now had a way to identify the Death Eaters in battle. As he saw the lights go off in all the heads he went back to Draco. "Now as for the men of Grindelwald. The one you saw was Walter. He is a mean sick son of" and Harry stopped right there. He swallowed and tried to calm himself down as stuff started to float up in the air with his magic. He wanted to go on but his magic raised up again as he thought about what he was going to tell.
Bella sat on his lap ad Daphne took over. She too became mad but she could hold it down enough not to scare the people around her. "Walter and the other men from Grindelwald belonged to a German second war group. They were a part of the Schuwaffle. These were a special group like we have the unspeakable's. Only they were trained in fighting and Killing. Killing first asks questions about when or if someone had survived. What you have seen your father was about to do. They did a little time ago with kids we tried to get out of the country. They didn't like us magic users as they called us and wanted to get away by muggle means. So we helped them by getting them to the Netherlands by boat. Somehow they found out and brought the boat back with the kids hanging dead on the side of the boat".
Before Draco could react Harry blasted a Bombarda at the Parkinson manor. Draco blinked and looked back at the spot that was once a manor. "We go now and prepare for Battle. I still need to look at what kind of Army we have to go up against" Harry said as he was biting back the anger he was feeling. He got to his feet and started to walk to the outside of the wards where he Apparated away.
"Is it wrong for me to say I'm glad he kidnapped me to put some sense into me"? Draco said as he looked down with a shy smile.
"Not at all, Draco not at all," Bella told him. She was sitting next to Narcissa as she whispered in her ear. "Just wait, after it is all done. We will tell him I'm Bellatrix, We do have to have some payback on him, and that look when he hears who I am will be enough".
"Your mean," Narcissa told her with a smile. She was glad she got her son back so this little truth prank she could not keep from her little sister.
Daphne had stepped next to her. "Come, Bella, We have to go or there might not be an army left for us to fight".
Draco looked at it and just didn't know if Daphne was making a joke or not. "She isn't joking," Neville told them as he walked past him and to the spot to go after them.
#*
Grindelwald had Apparated back just in time or just a little bit too early. He stood in the clearing when he felt the wards go up. His old bones carried him as fast as he could to the edge of the forest. He knew that the wards started there. When he got there he let out a breath of relief. The last thing he wanted was to be stuck inside of the muggle-repelling ward. He walked right through it and gave a deep sigh. When he did he thought about the ward he felt a minute earlier. So he walked a little further and still did not feel a thing. When he heard screams from behind him he stopped and turned around. One of his younger men came running out of the forest. Behind him was a kid from Aragog. He rushed past him and a couple of steps later he slammed against a ward and bounced right back into the jaws of the spider.
There was nothing he could do about it. Then again he didn't care enough to do anything about it and he had promised all the spiders food during the battle. So if one of his men was a snack, so be it. He turned back to the wards and placed his hand against it. The moment he did he got a shock and stumbled back. So he pulled his wand and started to throw any spell he could to break the wards. Normally he could crack them in a couple of seconds. This time he used every spell he knew and he still couldn't get it down. When he stopped he realized he had been locked up and that the Battle was going to happen if they wanted it to or not. He was here and he had to fight to get out, there was no escaping. Slowly he walked back to the clearing and saw all of his men in all kinds of colors. "What happened to you" he screamed as he looked at Walter who was purple with yellow spots.
Voldemort stepped out of the middle of the group and looked at his older self. "We got paint bombed just like at Malfoy Manor. There is no way we can get this paint cleaned off so we have to stop and fight another day". Death Eaters and the men from Grindelwald were nodding along. Hoping they could all get some rest because the day had been long enough with all the manors they had to save.
"That is not going to happen," Grindelwald told them.
"What, why not" Voldemort snapped. "We can just go now, come back in a couple of days, and fight that night".
"I would love to, but it will not be possible. Somehow they had placed a ward over the Hogwarts wards and we will not be able to get out. If I felt it right people can come in, but nothing gets out".
"so we either fight them or they will be coming to us and fight us".
Grindelwald started to nod slowly as he got a thoughtful look on his face. "I don't think they know we are here. The last couple of times we have been looking at them and it was clear they are not prepared for us. The eyes from Grindelwald rested on Walter as he went on.
"If they were they would be preparing themselves for us at least somewhat. During the second world war, I did a couple of those defenses and we had to prepare for them at least a couple of days before we were attacked. It wasn't much because we never knew what kind of attack we would see. But we did place some defences at least and we have seen nothing here of any kind". Walter saw the others were looking at him and went on. "Most of the time we knew we would be attacked at some point, but not the when or the how. So if they knew we were coming they had to, at the minimum, they had to put someone on the walls to be on the lookout. Well, we had a couple of looks and there was nobody there".
Lucius who was more purple than his own color started to smile. His thought was clear. If there was no defense they were like little pixies who were right for the slaughter. "Stop smiling like an idiot" Walter screamed at him. "So they are not prepared and they were not prepared when we got foot on land. Still, they gave us hell and took us by surprise. So if we go in there we had to be prepared for what they will throw at us. We will have a battle ahead of us either way. On that day I almost lost my life to those kids and I was not planning on doing it again".
Lucius wanted to react but he knew Walter was right. He was winning at the restaurant until he focused more on Narcissa than he did on Harry. When they were fighting after the world cup they were on the winning hand. When he got ahead of himself he tried to kill that bird bitch of France. If Minerva had not jumped in front of his curse, Harry would not have become as mad as he was. They might have won that night and be on top right now. As he thought more about it, he could see that Potter was not the only one they had to fear. If Pancy had not thrown the Ak curse, she might still be with them just like his good friend Lord Parkinson. Not only did they kill her and him in cold blood. They had been fighting Dragons on brooms. He had seen that little shit exchange spell, against spell with his Lord after he had been in a maze full of magical beasts. He hated his own thoughts and especially that Walter was right. They might not be repaired but they could fight and that was something they could not deny. So Lucius did what he always did, he got mad and walked away.
Right after he had walked away Walter told his men to rest because they were going to attack later that night. They had been locked in and were not going to wait for them longer than they had to.

Harry got back and went to the highest tower. It was there they kept the brooms for the aerial attack, they would be doing. He took his own broom from the pile and started to fly over the forest right up to the clearing. This was the last part of their defense. He had to have a look to see what more they had to attack them. Now was the time to see what the enemy had because now was the time they would not expect any of them to spy. When he got closer he placed a notice me not charm on himself and the broom and flew slowly around the clearing.
He could see the Death Eaters from far away. Their new color was pulling his eyes to them, like a bee to Honey. The same thing could be said about the men from Grindelwald. It would make it easier for them to fight them. When he floated along the side he saw a large group of Spiders. He knew they were the Family of Aragog. Hagrid had told them about him and about the thousand children he had. Those, they had to kill fast, because they were growing too large for all of them. Aragog might be trusted by Hagrid but he was old and when he died the others would attack them one way or another.
He heard something a little deeper into the forest. So he floated to the sound and found a couple of Dragons. He also saw some Goblins and knew they had to be from another bank in another country. Bogrod had told them he had talked to the council of the Goblins to stay out of this war. He also told them some clans might send a couple of fighters. If he would be killed they would become the new leaders so they had to try. If they lost they would say a couple of them had gone rogue. If they said that, they could do nothing about it. Dragons weren't a real problem now. They could bring them down like Albus had done and they knew just when. That was also the most difficult part, the when.
As he flew on he saw a lot of spiders and knew they would all be helping the two Dark ones. Suddenly he got a smell in his nose and he had to shake his head. Somehow they had found the Trolls again and got them back. They were either too drunk to say No, or they had run out of booze and heard that there was a little more if they would help them in the fight.
On the east side, he saw about four sphinxes tied up around a tree. They were safe as long as they could answer the riddles. They had to get passed them or they would be killed. If they would try to get passed them without solving a riddle they were also killed. So they just had to get them out of the fight one way or another.
He also so one Chimera. Those were almost unbeatable, their heads would grow back if you kill one, and you have to cut off, all of those heads at once, to kill the beast.
A little further on he saw about twelve yeti's. He thought they had died out a long time ago. But they were not and they were huge. It would be a shame to kill them. But if they did not attack they would not attack back.
The next creature he saw made him swallow. They weren't that large but they were almost unstoppable. Not only were they extremely fast. They had big nails as sharp as knives. Their teeth would rip out a piece of your body in one bite. No, the Chupacabra was maybe the worst he had seen so far. They fought alone and among themselves so that was a plus point. Still with the twenty or so he saw, they could be a real pest.
As he went on he saw the group of Veelas that were against their queen Gabrielle. He also saw a group of vampires but he knew they were on their side just like the werewolves they had in a group. He also knew that Voldemort and Grindelwald would be using them for a wave of attackers. Just like the Trolls and the others. It was a way to wear them out while they themselves would stay fresh so to say. In two of those times, the joke would be on them. It was time to head back and tell the others what he had seen. If he counted the Death Eaters, the men from Grindelwald, and all of those people that would be standing with them. They were up against at least a thousand people. So it would be a real fight.

Minerva was walking with Lily, Zanita, and Grandmere to the Library. She was followed by Augusta Apoline and Gabrielle. They had come back from the mountain about fifteen Minutes ago and had seen Daphne rush off with Hermione on her heels. They had done it before but were needed by Harry so they stopped. Now, however, they were back at it and she still didn't know what it was all about. Daphne had called to them in her mind and told her to bring Gabrielle and Apoline with them. Why she did not know and it was scaring her a little bit.
When they got there they saw a mountain of books. Hermione was still writing things down as Daphne was nervously looking at how they walked in. Minerva could see the look and it wasn't really putting her own nerves at rest. She walked on and sat down in one of the empty chairs. When the others had placed themselves next to her, Daphne took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Hermione closed her book and stepped next to Daphne.
"We asked you here because we have one more defense we can take against Voldemort and Grindelwald. This, however, is something that is very drastic and something we have to really think about" Daphne stopped and just looked at the ground. She was struggling with what she had to do and just could not bring herself to go on.
Just as Minerva wanted to tell her it is fine she heard the voice of Harry in her mind. ^Just tell them, we do not have to do it but we can talk about it. It is not a guarantee but it can give us that little edge we might need^. Some of them could hear Harry while others could not. So when Daphne nodded some knew why, while others were wondering why she was nodding because no one had asked her something.
Daphne looked over at Lily and Minerva and saw they were telling her to just do it. So she took another breath and she went for it. "Okay, A long time ago Hermione had thought about the seven Horcruxes from Voldemort. The number seven was a magical number. The same thing could be said for Grindelwald because he made five of them".
"How do you mean he made five" Augusta asked as she started to count on her fingers. We know Voldemort made seven and a number eight by accident".
"It wasn't a real accident" Hermione spoke up. She saw the looked she got and blushed a little. As she did her eyes went over to the door as Bella stepped in.
"Don't mind me. I'm here to help if they hesitate. Other than that, just think I'm not even here".
Before any other could say something Hermione went on. "When Voldemort Killed Lily and James he never realized he had split his soul. That little peace of his soul grabbed onto the cut of Harry and tried to take him over. Now it did not work but it made Voldemort, too still create another one. Grindelwald made five of them. Lily, Petunia, Vernon, and Marvello riddle. Vernon and Petunia were partly taken over by their Horcruxes. They still had a mind of their own but because they hated Harry by themselves it didn't need much to let them do what Grindelwald wanted them to do to Harry. He did it because he had seen the Horcrux in Harry. Lily had fought it off just like Harry had done but she was still the number four. We think it happened when she was taken away from Minerva". Everybody looked on and did not know what to say. They were all counting on their fingers and came to eight for Voldemort and five for Grindelwald.
"Stop counting," Hermione said and everybody looked up. She went to a board and placed the numbers seven and five on it. "These are the magical numbers. We also have three and eleven but Seven is the most powerful. We took a look at them and both Voldemort and Grindelwald made the same mistake. They split their souls hoping they would get the magic in numbers. They did but not all of it".
"You found out how to get it," Lily said as she looked up. "Stop, don't go on, I have to get Alice here. We have been working on the magic but never figured it out. If you have, then she has to know all about it". It was then they saw Lily rushing off. Minerva laughed and called a house elf for some refreshments.
While they waited for Lily and Alice to return. It was Harry who walked into the library with a very worried expression. "What happened," Minerva asked right away as she saw him coming in.
"Well, we might have some problems. They got four Sphinxes, one Chimera, twelve Yeti's, and twenty Chupacabras. But they also have a couple of dragons. We can win it but we have to make some preparations. We know they will send in the lesser beings first. That will mean the beast first then werewolves and so on". Hermione had already grabbed a book to look up the Chupacabras while Bella just smiled at him.
Harry looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What, I like to go flying with Dragons. You never know where their fireballs may end up". Harry just laughed at her, he knew exactly where those fireballs had to go, and he would love to do it with her.
Twelve minutes later, Lily returned with Alice, Amelia, and Emma following her closely. When Harry looked up she told them she could not stop them from following her. He just smiled as he turned back to Hermione who clearly wanted to go on. "As I said, Voldemort and Grindelwald did split their souls. Voldemort placed them in things, while Grindelwald placed them in people. When you put them in things you will keep yourself alive forever, as long as your things aren't found. Now your body can die. It did the night he tried to kill Harry, and it did when Harry killed Quirell in our first year. Still, your soul stays alive and will go from person to person.
With Grindelwald, he was more successful. He placed his soul into persons. When you take over the person, it will also take over the magic and their blood. Now you would be connected and it will give access to both magics. It did work with Riddle, partly with Vernon and Petunia. But it did not work with Lily. If it had all worked then the magic will increase with the number you have, making the number seven the strongest".
Lily was whispering with Alice as she counted on her fingers. The friends knew they did not get it and so Hermione went on while they silently made a bet about who would understand first. The money from Harry was on his grandmother and. Susan who had also arrived with Neville placed all of her money on her aunt. Neville went for his grandmother. Bella went for Minerva just like Harry did and Hermione went for Isabella just like Daphne.
"Now, we only got our first clue when Harry went to Gringots where he found out he still had a grandmother. It was there he resurrected the line of Godric and Peverell".
"Magic is in the blood, they are connected by blood and magic".
"YES," Neville screamed as he held out his hands to the others to get his money. "I told you my grandmother would figure it out first".
It was at this point Daphne took over from Hermione. "It was there we found out that it was not the soul that connected, but the blood and the magic. It was the magic from Gryfindor that ran through the Potter line, and the Peverell that ran through the McGonagall line. This made three magic lines into one. Now Bella and I shared our magic with Harry. This placed the magic of five lines into Harry, Bella, and me. Potter, Grifindor, Peverell, Greengrass, and Black. We have a sixth line and that is the Maconagall line. Now to put all of our magic into a seven-line we have to get Harry another woman. We want him to share his blood with a Veela with the same magic".
Before anyone could say another thing Gabrielle stepped forward and sliced her palm with one nail from her claw-like hand. She did the same with Harry and slammed their hands together. Appoline screamed as did Lily and Alice. They didn't know what the friends were planning to do and every blood ritual was with its own dangers.
"What do you think you are doing" Lily screamed at them as she rushed forward to stop Gabrielle from what she was about to do. "Don't you know how dangerous it is or can be"?
Bella saw her coming and jumped in front of her. Lilly slammed her hand down but it was pushed away from Harry and Gabrielle by Bella.
While Lily was trying to get passed Bella Alice took the chance. Before she got even close she was stopped by Augusta. "Mum, Longbottom, we have to stop them it could be dangerous".
"No, If it is, then they will take that chance. We know it can be dangerous and they know it too. But if they think it will help we will let them. It is clear they wanted to talk about it but Gabrielle went passed it. There is no, stopping them now".
^Well we can^ Daphne thought.
^But we are not going to do it^ Zanita thought as she crossed her eyes with the eyes of Minerva.
"They still can" Lily screamed as she heard the thought from Daphne.
"But they will not," Minerva said as she looked at the joined hands from Gabrielle and Harry.
"This will make you my seventh wife. My fourth by marriage and seventh by blood and Magic. Are you sure, you are still young" Harry asked her softly as he tightened his grip a little bit more.
"Harry, I'm, the true Veela. I can become a Fenix and I can have a burn day. I will not die until I want to die. On that day I will burn up and never rise again. That will be many moons from now. I do not know if I can have children. I do not know if I can have sex with a human. I'm not sure about a lot of things. But I'm sure that between you, Bella, Daphne, and Zanita I can't choose a better family. Being with you, helping in this war, I can not have a better king for the Veela community".
^Do it Harry^ sounded the thoughts from Bella, Daphne, and Zanita in his mind.
Harry gave a mental nod and gazed back at Gabrielle. All the things she had said were things they too had thought about. Her magic had made her mature faster than she had to and with his magic running through her it had changed her enormously. "Are you sure, we do not know what it will do to you"? Gabrielle just nodded as she looked right into his eyes. "All right then Repeat after me".
"With my blood, we feed you our love.
With my blood, we heel you our love.
Let us be one, in love, let us be one in blood".
#*
No one knew where some of the Family had gone. The field beds in the great hall were all occupied by People who had their dinner on the table between the beds. It was the last meal before the battle would begin. Halfway through the dinner. James looked at Sirius. He felt a plus of magic running through him. As his eyes crossed with the eyes of Sirius he saw the same thing. Jean had jumped up because he too felt something. But the moment he jumped up he was pushed back into his seat. The wave of Magic went through the castle and over the grounds. When it got into the Forbidden Forest the Animals knew they had to get to the castle. So it was about twenty minutes later that Frank and David opened the door as every Animal stormed into the castle.
#*
Grindelwald and Voldemort had been sitting in their tents. All of their men had been sleeping in the field and in their own little tents waiting for the order to attack. It was their final rest for what would be a long night. When the wave of magic reached them it was like a knife that was pushed into them.
#*
The town of Hogsmeade had been a ghost town for the last couple of days. Most of the people were at Potter Castle and waiting for the wounded and other people that would be brought to them. The people that were still in town got a feeling of peace. They did not know what it was but the owner of Honeydukes knew his wife would be fine. Rosmerta who had just come back to see if her bar was still standing there in one piece knew it would all be fine.
#*
Everyone listened to the words Harry and Gabrielle spoke. When they were done a glow started to go around them. Hermione held up her hands and started to count. Harry and she held up one finger, Gabrielle, and she held up her second finger. A blast of light went from the both of them to Bella who also started to glow with them. Bella sliced her palm and placed it into the hands of Harry and Gabrielle. Hermione lifted her third finger and looked on as another blast of light and Magic went to Daphne. Daphne did the same as Bella and looked at how the glow engulfed her too. It was then that Hermione held up her fourth finger and saw Bella and Daphne taking hold of a hand, from Harry or Gabrielle. The same thing happened and it included Minerva who joined in the glow and stepped next to Daphne. Hermione held up her hand with all the fingers spread out. Her bottom lip went between her teeth and she started to nibble. This was the part the theory went over into reality. As seconds ticked on she worried that the theory wasn't enough and their thoughts had been all wrong. Another ball of light and Magic left the group and it included Lily in the Glow. Hermione held up her second hand and lifted one finger making it number six. It was now that Susan pushed Zanita between them as she too was included in the light. Hermione looked at it as she held up seven fingers.
The glow did not fade and started to puls around all of them Something was wrong but they did not know what. The persons that were included in the magic and glow were out of it and could not help them.
This was it again for this time. See you all in two weeks.
Gr Winmau.
