Thank you all for the reviews.

Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.

(BSC 6 C32) C223. On and on it goes.

As they all took place around the friends Neville stepped up. "Alright. In thirty minutes we will go out and fight the final battle. We do not know how it will go but we want to keep it on the grounds between the castle and the forest. Now this is what we are going to do. If they do not come out of the forest we will go in. Harry, Bella, Daphne, and Lily will go first". Behind the friends, Lily looked from her mother to the back of Harry. She did not know why she would go first but she did not like it at all. James and Sirius made their way back from the infirmary and were just as stunned. "They will be followed by Minerva". It was again that Lily looked at Minerva as Neville went on. Minerva didn't say a thing but she held up her hand with five fingers spread wide. It was a magical number that would have to tell them something.

Neville didn't pay them any attention and went on. "When Harry goes into the forest with the others next to him he will be cutting down all the trees. The others will be destroying them to a thousand splinters each as Minerva will blast all of them into the forest. We will be walking behind them at a distance and blast everything that will try to escape. The first line will stun them. the next will cut them. If some pull up a protection ward to keep themself save. those are the ones we will have to cut down. This is the scenario if they do not come out".

Neville waited for the people to think about what he had said before he went on. "If they do come out fighting, then we will have a very big fight ahead of us. When they come out of the forest we will be waiting and fight them head on. At first, a hundred men will go into the fight. If they hold them back we will wait to help. If they can't others will join them and replace them if they need a rest. If one of us goes down and you can reach them, you put your hand on that person and say save. A house elf will get them out and into the infirmary. Let's hope we can keep all of us alive".

With those words, Neville stepped back and looked at the clock that was still counting down.

(BSC 6 C33) C224 The Last Battle part one.

The clock in the air was slowly counting down. For some, it went way too fast, for others, it looked like it went slower than a Flubberworm. Minerva was standing at the side of the doorway. She was looking at it all from a distance. In less than twenty minutes it would all end. The only thing she didn't know was how that would be. She had high hopes that her grandson and his friends would all make it to the end in one piece. They have been training for this. The real question was, was it enough in all that they had done?

As she looked from left to right she saw all the fighters. She was standing in the doorway of the castle. She could look outside and when she looked the other way she could look into the great hall. Some were eager to fight and so they were a risk. It was a risk the friends knew well. and so they were the first to go out. Because they wanted to fight badly they were also easy to make a mistake. If they did it at the start they could all handle it if they lost some of them. If they did it, at the end, it could even cost them the battle, maybe even the war. As she looked on she could see that the way they fought this battle, was just like the book The Art of War. It was a book that was handed to them by Dan Granger. He was the first that got hurt and also the first that had been sent out and away from the final Battle.

Because of this, the friends sent Emma after him. If they had lost Dan, Minerva was sure Hermione would have been sent out too. To lose one was bad enough. To lose a second from one family was not done in their book. Slowly she pushed away from the doorpost and walked over to a window in the great hall. There she saw Daphne standing with Bella and Susan. She stepped between them and looked through the window up at Harry. He had been up there when the clock had counted down to five minutes. "We are going into the last battle. Tell me. what do we do if they enter the castle".

Daphne and Bella did not look at her and just kept on looking at the air. Susan knew she had to be the one to tell her. It was their last stand and the one thing they never wanted to do. Still, if there was one who had the right to know it would be their Grandma Mini. "Let's just hope they will not get in, because if they do we can't Protect the castle and the people. It would be too small just like it has been that day they had attacked St Mungo. If they get in we will do the things we have said. We will get everybody out of here and put the castle in lockdown. This means everything and everybody that is still in the castle will be sealed in. The air will be removed and all that is left alive will die. We have already removed all the animals and most of the people. So all you see now is all that is left". Susan took a deep breath as she gazed out of the window for only a second. "When and if they do enter the castle. We will try and get them all into the great hall. There we will be fighting until everybody is there. When they are in there we can get away and seal the Hall for all those that are left".

Minerva just gave a sharp nod as she looked over her shoulder at Lily who had been listening on. She had been standing next to Alice and she could see in their eyes that they knew what Susan had really said. So Minerva patted the shoulder of Susan and walked over to them. "Mum, to put the castle on lockdown it will mean that one of them has to stay behind and die," Lily told her.

Minerva didn't make eye contact with any of them. The only thing she did was look up at a little spot that was going from left to right. A single tear left her eye and she had just given them the answer no one wanted to have.

As Minerva walked away she thought about one thing. The one thing Minerva knew was that the friends still, had people standing by to fight in the Battle. Somehow they had kept them behind just in case. Harry had told them they would put nothing past them and somehow they were wondering if the other side had also been keeping people behind.

#*

Harry had been flying from left to right. He had been looking at their own army, while they had been making themselves ready to defend the castle and the grounds. He had been in contact with Bella and Daphne. He had locked the others out. At first all of them but Bella and Daphne. But after a couple of minutes, they had asked to get Minerva into their minds as well. This was not a fight it would be a brawl. He and his friends would be defending as much as they could while they would be fighting along with them. The people from Grindelwald and Voldemort would not be fighting fair and so they wouldn't do it too. This was to kill all of them or they would kill them. The worst thing about it all was that Voldemort and Grindelwald would be staying behind like they always did and only bud in when they could, or when they least wanted them to.

When he was on his twelve lap around the castle he saw something in the forest. He put on his invisibility cloak and got a closer look. There halfway between the clearing and the grounds he saw it. Right in front were all the spiders that were the children of Aragog. Hagrid had told them they did not trust him any longer because Aragog had been killed a couple of weeks ago. They all knew it had been a death Eater who had done it. So they were coming for dinner and they were on the menu. This was it. This was the big fight and they had to do it the Muggle way because all of them were resistant to magic if they were not hit under their belly. As Harry pushed himself as flat as he could he raced back to the castle. In his mind, he called for the alarm and told them what was coming.

Both Bella and Daphne knew what they had to do. Bella rushed left and Daphne right. Minerva had heard it all and looked at the way the two girls rushed off. Bella knew she had to warn the Muggles because they were up. The spiders needed to be put down by muggle guns as the Brooms made them stand up their hind legs while they blasted them from above. It was the one thing she told Susan who had run after her.

Daphne had gone to the other side and sounded the alarm to get everybody into the great hall. Everybody that were there knew, they were up next. Were now standing at the door, as Susan rushed back out to tell the Muggles what they had to do. Hermione who had been with Daphne asked for the Air Brigade to join her. It was there she told them what they had to do As Daphne rushed on to the great hall. On the stage Daphne found Neville and Bella waiting for them. It was on the stage that they told them they were coming. The fight was less than ten minutes away. They didn't need to tell them more because they had been telling it all on and on. Over and over again. They had trained it, practiced it but you never really knew. This was the real deal and this could be just that little too much for anyone.

After they had told them what was happening Neville took the box from behind the big chair and started to hand out the escape Port keys. When he was almost done ten wizards disappeared from the spot and they all looked at the spot they had been standing. Daphne screamed in her mind and some heard her. None of the others did and all hell broke loose. Sirius and James screamed that they could be spies. Or some of Grindelwald's men who were now killing the people at Potter Castle. The moment he grabbed his own Portkey Harry flew into the window. Bella had stunned him and Harry had taken the PortKey out of his hand.

When James was released he was slammed against the wall by Neville. James looked to the side but he could see Harry jump on his broom and go up into the air. What James didn't see was Amelia placing a Silencing ward around them. She was in it so she could listen as well. Just like James, she wondered why they didn't do anything when they used the PortKey almost immediately. Amelia looked at the same spot James was looking and saw Harry go up. From her point, she saw Bella doing the same just like the others, they had this and she knew it.

"Do you really think we are that stupid"? Amelia turned around when she heard the voice of Neville. "We knew there were others we could not trust. We knew some would run when the fight began. We knew some could be going to the Potter grounds to fight them. But they are in for a surprise. They will not appear on the grounds but in the cells of Potter Castle. They will be stunned by the elders and they will be taken care of if they are hurt. After that, they will be questioned to see why they are back. All of us because we could all be under the Imperius curse when we go back".

James hung his head and looked down at the floor. It was right after it that Neville handed him back the Portkey and smiled at Amelia. "Yes, we thought of everything. At least we think we did" Neville looked over his shoulder.

It was a look Amelia had seen before. It was a look Bella, Daphne, and Harry had thrown her whenever they were about to say something she wasn't going to like. And just as she thought about it, Neville said the next thing she would hate but a thing she could also understand. "To make it even more clear. I don't even trust Harry to be Harry fifty percent of the time. If we didn't have safe words to make sure who is who. I would have killed him already and no doubt he would have killed me. So did we think of everything? We think so and even the worse about ourselves and that is the hardest part".

"Yep" and there it was. It was the one thing she would not like and the one thing she didn't like. They had gone beyond trusting and were now in surviving mode. As Neville turned to her and was about to walk passed her she placed her hand on his shoulder and looked him deep in the eyes. "You are all coming back to normal after this, aren't you".

"Why, don't you like us this paranoid" Neville asked her as he tried a lop-sided smile.

His words said one thing but his eyes told her he hoped so. "AUUUU" Neville screamed, as he looked back at the smiling face of Amelia who then dropped the ward that was around them.

Amelia dropped her wand back into her hand and started to make her way to the door. She was the next in line to fight and so she went to have a look. She hoped they could handle it but if not she had to jump in. At the door, she looked outside and stumbled right into the back of Neville. Blood was already everywhere and the only thing she saw was House-elves popping in and out. She saw Muggles shooting some kind of balls that exploded under the spiders. Some took out one. Others took out three at a time. She didn't know how but she did like those Muggles toys. She only hoped that she would be around after this for Dan to show it to her as he had done for David. She still remembered the white face David had when he got back.

Harry was pressed against his broom as he rushed to the castle. He was ahead of the spiders but they were fast and right behind him. When he cleared the forest he saw the muggles and wizards rushing out of the castle. Jean was between them and he had the lead of them all. For the muggles, he saw Bane between them. His hand slipped and he almost fell off his broom. He was just able enough to hang on as he heard his grandmother scream in his mind to pay attention.

Minerva heard him calling back to look at Bane and she did. She almost burst out laughing when she saw him standing there. Bane was wearing a red Muggle headband and goggles to go with it. He had on an army jacket. Around his torso, he had strips of bullets. He had a big knife hanging on his side and a cigar in his mouth. It wasn't lit but he had it between his teeth as he stood in the middle of them all. "He looks just like Rambo," she said. It was the last movie they had seen that Wednesday with the Goblins and the centaurs.

While Minerva looked on she could see him go past her through a window. As she turned around she saw him grabbing something from Bella and throwing it at Neville. Right after it, she saw Neville slamming James against the wall. Amelia was standing next to them with her wand in her hand. As she shook her head she almost jumped a meter into the air.

Harry who had landed beside her just told her he thought the same thing and got back on his broom. "Alright. The first enemy, that is coming here are the spiders from the forbidden forest" Harry screamed as he hovered above their own army. "We must shield the Muggles first. When we drop the shields the Muggles will send their bombs. Right after that, we will shield them again. So on, and so on. There are a thousand of them coming. if you are tired you tab out and take a rest, Others will tab in". Harry turned as she heard the sound of breaking trees. "Here they come be ready".

Everybody got in line as the first spiders came out of the forest. They were from all sizes and some of the Muggles stumbled back. They had all seen spiders but never in these sizes. So with fear in their boots, they got back in line as one of them stood. He placed something on his shoulder and pushed a button. None of the wizards knew what he was doing, for those who knew never said it. Something shot out and it landed between the first group of spiders. The next thing they saw, were about twenty of those spiders being blasted into the air in a ball of flames. Spider limps were landing everywhere and the fight was on.

Minerva who just hadn't gone away got the order to look on. So she did and the night was lit up by all the spells that were thrown everywhere. When she felt a little hand pulling on her skirt she looked down. Next to her was the head elf of Hogwarts. "Miss Mini, Missy Granger is telling me, to tell you Grindelwald is trying to walk around the castle". Minerva gave a deep sigh and looked up at the highest tower. Emma had come back and was doing her task. She knew Dan was fine or she would not be there. Harry would not like it but he had his hands full.

When she looked back she could see him swooping down blasting the ground up into the air. Shields of bricks dropped and another barrage of Muggle bombs went flying. Spiders were killed, but there were so many, that you just could not see it. What she did see were a couple of the air brigade being blasted from their brooms. As time went on the ground around the castle were slowly turning red. She hated it but this was war and this was going with it. She thought of Grindelwald but he was kept under watch by a house elf. He had to be looking for something but they had not the men power to send one after him.

#*

Harry had rushed off with Bella at the end of the line. The Air brigade was between them as they all rose up in the air looking down at the Battlefield. Nothing had happened yet, The only thing that was heard, were the trees breaking on the edge of the forest. From the air, you could see a path coming from the open field right toward the castle. At the edge of the Forest, all the spiders started to spread out and rush at the muggles who were ready with their guns, grenades, and whatever they had. Harry took a nose dive and was followed by all those who were behind him. They fired cutting hexes right in front of the spiders making a gap in the ground. It stopped the Spiders long enough to stop for a couple of seconds.

Those couple of seconds were enough for the Wizards and Witches to drop the shields that they had placed to protect them from the spiders. Right as they dropped the Muggled fired their toys and spiders went flying everywhere. It was clear that they were impervious to spell fire but not to Granades or rocket bombs. Shields were replaced just before the blasts but some were not fast enough. Four of the spiders came through and a lot of spider body parts had been blasted their way. One even hit a person from the Air Brigade that was Accioed by Lily who had been looking on from next to her mother. He was slammed against the wall and brought to the infirmary right after it.

This had been done over and over again. Until the timing was off. Harry swooped down and the others followed him in their next flight. Cutting curses were thrown into the grounds and halfway the shields were dropped. Harry pulled up and all the others behind him followed but it was too late. Muggle Grenates went into the herd of spiders and they were blasted up. Harry and Bella were fast but not all of them were. Halfway up spiders were blasted apart and the shockwave slammed them from their brooms. While some were hanging from their brooms gliding to safety. Some were not and slipped off them.

As they fell down grenades exploded and people were grabbed by the blast. Hands arms and legs were ripped off and those were the lucky ones. Harry turned on the spot and Bella did the same from the other side. They didn't think and that was when they did their best work. As they went down again right after the blast they started to Accio all the persons and every body part they saw. They didn't look but as they rose into the air they were blasted to the castle. "NOOOOO". Bella screamed as they saw a couple of Spiders jumping up and grabbing others from the broom brigade out of the air. Fangs were slammed into their bodies as blood sprayed all over them. Two of them were the chasers from their Quidditch team. Cho Chang was one of them and Bella saw how one part of her leg was ripped off. She lost it and pointed her broom right at the head of the spider.

Harry went after her and saw how Bella just drove her broom into the head of the spider that dropped Cho from his fangs. In her fall from her broom, Bella grabbed Cho and apparated from the spot with Cho in her arms.

#*

"What how" James screamed.

"Easy," Alice told him. "They shared their blood and magic. So they can apparate in the wards because they are all a part of Harry and Zanita". The horror of it all grabbed her heart as she realized that with Bella Aparating out. Harry was left all alone and he landed right in the middle of all of the spiders.

She looked on as the sword of Gryffindor appeared in his hand with the wand in the Handle of it. A little shield formed around his other hand. "Did any of you know he could do Wantless magic like that?".

The people around them shook their heads and just looked on, as Harry swung his sword around.

#*

Harry landed the moment Bella apparated away, right after it with Cho in her arms. He knew she would but she still could be too late. He could not take that chance and jumped right after her. As he landed he knew he was in a big fight. At the last moment, he had left his own broom behind and took one of the firebolts he had. It was the same thing Bella had done. He had been right because on the moment he landed one of the Spiders grabbed it and just snapped it in two.

With the shield in his off-hand and the sword in the other, he started to swing it around. For the first time in all of his fighting, he knew he had bit off more than he could chew. These spiders would be his end but he would take a lot of them with him before he was gone. He could Apparate away just like Bella did but he was so close to all of the spiders that he would take only half of his body with him. You had to focus and in this fight, he had no time for that. He felt his sword go through a lot of them. Slowly he was going to get tired and it was going to take its toll on him.

#*

Bogrod was standing at the side and saw it all happening. Bella saved someone and Harry went over to fight. As he saw Harry drop down he also saw all of the spiders going at him. Spiders were climbing on top of each other just to get to him. This was it, this was the time to pay him back. If only he could take his sword from his hand and make him watch like he had done to him during the Goblin war. With a war cry, he stood and rusted onto the grounds swinging his axe around and above his head.

#*

Bogrod jumped from the steps and rushed head-on. His Goblin army followed him as the Muggels were popped on top of the walls. There they would make it rain bombs the moment He or Harry would give the all-clear. In a V shape with him on the head they all rushed right into the wall of spiders. Two Goblin guards placed a spear into one of them and held the spiders above their heads like umbrellas. Bogrod was swinging it around and took all the legs from the spiders he could reach. As they dropped in front of them he jumped onto their heads and made his way to the middle all the way to Harry. One of the Spiders jumped right in front of him and opened its mouth. Big fangs were leaking Vanom as it came crashing down. Just when the fangs were to strike One of the Goblin guards stepped in front of it and his whole head disappeared into its mouth. With one snap Bogrod saw it being ripped off completely. Bogrod stopped and looked at the happenings in front of him, as the spider took another bite. He stood still and could not move.

Harry had been swinging around and felt a fang hitting his Goblin armor. He felt a little bit of fang coming through it as Vanom rushed through his body. He kept on swinging but he was thinking about the venom and his end. I have been bit he thought.

^What are you feeling^ Lily asked as she thought back. She was also making her way to the middle of all the spiders. The bombs could only fall when Harry was dead or when he was out of there.

^Nothing^.

^That is right. You have been bit by a Basilisk. You have Venom running through your body. It means that you are immune to any sort of Venom or potion. We all used your blood but not all of us have that running through us. If I'm right. Then only you and Gabriell have it^.

Harry knew she was right so he started to fight even harder. Spiders were biting and one of them had a grip on his leg. It was a small one but it didn't let go. It was like a Flubber worm that kept on sucking. As he beheaded the spider he saw a small figure slicing its way to him. There were a couple of spiders between them. He did not know who this stupid thing was to risk its life for him, but he was glad for the help. Then one of the spiders jumped in front of it and Harry knew he could never escape. He was too far away to help him and there would be no way out of here. Then another figure jumped between the little figure and the spider. His head was bitten clean off as the blood that sprayed from the stomp soaked all three of them.

When the limp body fell down Harry recognised Bogrod. Bogrod was unrecognizable behind the blood of his warrior, but Harry knew it was him. "Fight, FIGHT" Harry screamed at Bogrod when he saw him standing there just looking at the limp body of his warrior.

Bogrod just stood there looking on. He could not move. he could not utter a word. In all of his battles, there weren't many. He had never had to fight a thing that could bite off the head of his warrior guards. He only had Goblins wars but that only resulted in death after a big fight. Never in one bite. "Fight" he heard from far away. He did not get it. He did not understand it. Then he saw the spider focusing on him and he still didn't understand. He was baffled and stunned by the way his number one warrior lost its head. "FIGHT" he heard again only this time harder and more clearly. A long shiny piece of metal sliced through the head of the spider and it almost hit him. When the body of the spider slipped from the sword, its body fell both ways. He could see Harry standing in front of him.

"Bogrod, you are getting too old for this. That is why we didn't let you fight the last time". Harry told him with a smirk as blood dripped from a head wound he got from one of the spiders.

The Warrior Goblins were smirking as they sliced around them killing everything they saw that had eight legs or at least more than four. "Why you little SHIT" Bogrod screamed back at him while he was trying to look angry at him.

#*

The family and the others were all standing at the entrance or behind one of the windows looking at the battle. Spiders kept on coming out of the forest. Harry had told them all that he had seen at least a thousand of them. Muggles were fighting with Guns and whatnot.

For almost all of the wizards that were waiting to be called into the fight. It had been a rude awakening to see the power with what they were fighting the spiders. They even saw shields that were pulled up too early and it shattered right after it. They might be better in close range but to get to the muggles would be another thing. Some still had the idea that they were better. They did not have any hate towards the muggles, But they sure thought they were better than they could ever be. It had shown another light on the battlefield. Especially when one of the Muggle doctors who had been there told them there were at least a thousand humans to one wizard or witch.

#*

Spider limps had been blasted so far up into the air that some of them slammed against the windows of the castle. The fighting went on until it went wrong. Shields were dropped too soon and muggle bombs took out some of the fighters. It was again that they saw their leader Harry go into the battle before anyone else. Some of the Muggles turned around and saw Bella and a Chinese girl appear in the middle of the great hall. She was covered in blood and two fangs were still sticking out of her arm. A part of her leg was gone and so were other pieces of her body. It was clear to them all that she had been the only one who had been saved. She was still breathing but also in shock. Poppy didn't care and sent her up to the DAMN ward. She was the first to be worked on this badly. When other bodies were popped into the middle of the great hall they were completely covered by black sheets or popped over to the wards to be taken care of.

"Look Goblins" someone screamed from one of the windows and almost all of them rushed back. Bells sounded and some knew they were up next. But before they could go out Goblins took their place. Harriet, who had been standing with the old man who had been training everybody in the art of wizarding war. was calling the shots. House elves from every family that was joining in the war were popping in and out with Goblins. As Harriet walked to the door Isabella asked her how. " Wel the Goblin nation has heard about this battle. They also know that their friends had fought a Goblin war and won. So they are repaying them by helping. They come from all over the world to our bank in London. From there they are popped into this battle. They just love to fight.

Wizards were still looking on as Goblins rushed at the spiders from the doorway. For every Goblin that rushed out. Two more spiders were coming out of the forest. Everyone that was down was popped away. Some of them to the hospital words and some to the great hall where they were covered in a black sheet and popped further away.

As the Goblins stopped coming the spiders were still multiplying from out of the forest. There was a lot more than the thousand Harry had seen. From the top of the castle, Emma looked on The Goblin army was working their way into the middle of all the spiders. There they were fighting in a circle making their way back out. When the Goblins first went into the battle the circle became bigger but now it looked like it was slowly getting smaller again. The Goblins were losing and the spiders were gaining ground. So She took the flair gun and shot it over the battlefield. It was the end of planning it was the start of the fight until the end.

As the orange flair showed a light over the garnish and fighting spiders and Goblins, the friends were the first to rush out blasting everything they got. Their weapons were looking like a blur as they went in from the left. Tonks, Fluer, and a Veela army that never wanted to fight were joining in from the right. It was a clear sign for Amelia to take her Aurors and unspeakable down the middle.

Harry was standing back to back with Bogrod. He needed Bella and Daphne at his side. He needed Susan, Hermione, and Neville in this battle. They were his unit and they could handle them all. Goblins were real fighting machines but one after the other was popped away because they needed healing or it had been too late. It was the reason why the circle became smaller and smaller. When all that was left were Bogrod, his guards, and himself. He once again thought that it was the end. Suddenly a Muggle grenate exploded and the wall of spiders that were on the right of them came tumbling down. As the dust settled he saw Bella smiling as she rushed at him and threw her little sword over the shoulder of Bogrod where it sliced right between the eyes of one of the spiders.

"Happy to see me, honey," she said, as she stepped next to Harry in the middle of the battlefield.

"We thought you might need some help," Daphne said as she stepped on the other side.

"Fighting with Goblins is fun" Hermione called out as her ball with spikes struck a spider on the left side slamming him against four others looking dazed.

"A cutting curse from Neville split them all in half. "The Goblin guards are helping you a lot," Neville told him.

"But with Grandpa"'

"Finish that sentence and I will show you Grandpa" Bogrod screamed as he saw the smirk on the face of Susan as she was slicing chunks out of the spiders with her metal rings.

"Love you to Grandpa," Susan called back as she jumped over A spider and slammed her arms around Bogrod in a hug while she killed two spiders who were behind him ready to attack.

Fire erupted from the left of Harry and two metal claws were stabbing and throwing spiders behind her as Fleur came to them. She was having a blast and also a fearful look at what she would find. When she saw all of the friends she could not help herself and hugged as many of them in one go as she could. "I thought you would keep them all to yourselves," she said as she looked at Harry and Bogrod with a piercing look and a smile tugging on the side of her lips. The hug lasted no more than a tenth of a second. before they all turned their back to each other with Bogrod in the middle. The circle was very tight when the Goblins joined in but as they fought their way out it became bigger and bigger. They only saw the spiders coming. They didn't know if there were more coming or if the end was near. The only thing they knew was to fight and hope for the best.

It was right at that point that the best came through the middle. There was an opening in the mass of spiders and the first they saw was Amelia. They weren't only fighting the Spiders left and right from them. But also climbing over the spiders that had already been killed. It was now that their fighters were more in numbers than the spiders and it was done. As the last spider was killed everyone went back to the castle. Walking backwards and looking at the forest where Voldemort was seen standing.

When they got to the door Harry placed his wand in his neck. His voice sounded all over the grounds and castle. "Alright, we have killed all of your extras. Are you ready to fight us now or do you still need to stand back and hide? I know you have more fighters there. We have taken your wounded and are treating them. The people we killed we placed them in the clearing for you to take care of later. So For all of your other fighters get out here and surrender within five minutes. Or get out here after it and be killed. In one hour we will do the same as we have done this time. Only there will be no hiding anymore. We will come out full force and kill all of you that is left". Bella stepped next to him again and pointed her wand into the air. There it was again. The clock was shown and it was counting back.

Harry kept on standing and looked on as no one came out of the forest. They had hoped some would take the offer to not fight anymore but they didn't. Some kept standing outside as Harry was the last to step through the door. The moment the door was closed behind him he looked ahead. Slowly his eyes closed and he fell over to the ground. He was breathing hard as the sword of Grifondor lay next to him. Everyone had slumped down but Harry had done it all again. One of the Goblin guards bent down and took him in his arms as he carried him into the great hall and to the podium.

Poppy had been there and knew she would be in the special ward if one of the friends had been hurt enough. This was not the case and she placed a screen to treat the friends and Harry. As Bella stepped around the screen, she saw the Goblin warrior looking at the Body of Harry. "He has been in more than one battle in his life," she told him.

"Our oldest fighter doesn't even look like that and he had lost a couple of limbs".

"Not much of a fighter then," The small voice of Harry said as he laid his head back down with a smirk making the Goblin laugh.

"Hush you," Poppy told him in her healer's voice. "I will need the whole fifty minutes that are left to get you out there again. So just lay still". Her eyes went over to Bella and Daphne who had also stepped around the screen just like the others. You go to our healer Veela friends and let them they care of you. If you don't you will be out of the battle. All of you".

This was it again for this time. See you all real soon. Sorry for the long wait but life got in the way in more ways than one. But like I said I will never abandon this story or any that I will write. I will always finish them one way or another.

Thank you all for the reviews. See you all soon.
