Thank you all for the reviews.

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

(BSC 6 C33) C224 The Last Battle one.

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.

"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".

(BSC 6 C33) C225 The Last Battle Two.

The friends knew Poppy meant it when she said it like that and nodded. While Poppy was treating Harry the other friends had been done within the minute. They had been popped into the hospital wings and made their way to one each. They made sure to tell them all thank you for fighting and to get better again. Those who could come back were welcomed back but had been told to wait in the great hall until the end when they would need them the most. It would mean they could rest that little bit more. The Spiders had changed their plans and they all knew it. Now it was fighting by ear and sight alone. But they all knew they were up to it.

As the others went into the Damn ward Hermione stepped aside. She called for a couple of Female house elves. They had all seen that only the male house elves had been on the battlefield. It told them the female house elves had been taking care of them. So when she called them she sat down on the ground to be at eye level. "We know the men have been to the battlefield and you all have been taking care of them and us. But for the next battle, we will need your help. In the other campsite, the one from the enemy there are Females that have been taking care of them. When the last Battle begins we want them out of their. They have to be taken to a Potter dungeon and nothing more. After the Battle, we will send them back to their own country with the Dead fighters. They can inform their family from there. They are not to be hurt. If they do hurt any of you, or try to do it. You will get that person to another cell and call in the Veelas. They will take care of them".

All the female house elves nodded and popped away. It was at the same time a crying Susan and Daphne came walking out of the Damn ward. "It is horrible in there," Susan said as she looked at Hermione. "When Harry looked like that we knew he would pull through because he always will. He is just too stubborn to do it the other way. For those inside of there it is another thing".

"Yes," Daphne went on. " After this Battle MadEye will not be the only one we will be calling mad. I only hope the Muggle doctor is right when he told him they had fake limbs that looked like the real thing and not the stick MadEye is walking on".

"What is wrong with my Stick" MadEye called from the corner making them all jump. He smiled and it did not help him a bit. He only looked more hideous when he did it. "You have all been doing well. When I was in that state no one came looking at me. I can tell you that they are already feeling better knowing you all care enough to come looking at them. It might not fix anything with their bodies. But mentally it will do a lot for them".

It had been one of those things Amelia, MadEye, and Dan had drilled into them. In moments of hurt, pain, or defeat. It was always a good thing when the leaders came to have a look at you and thank you for your fight. It meant even more when all of the wounded saw the state the friends were in. None asked about Harry because seeing the friends like this. Every one of them knew he was even worse even if they had not been there to see it. Slowly they all made their way back to the great hall. It was there they saw all of their fighters that were left. It pleased them to see about a whole lot of them. They even knew the fighters on the other side were even bigger in numbers.

When it came to words there were none left to say. They have said it all and how do you motivate someone to give their life? All of them who had come here already knew it so they would not need it. The clock in the air said there were about two minutes left and the sound of fighting started. People rushed to the doors as gunfire was heard coming from the walls. Screams were filling the battlefield and the friends were looking on from the windows. Fighters were dying and they could do nothing about it. They were ordered to stay inside and they wanted to be out there.

House elves were popping all over taking people out while others rushed from the door to fight along. Zanita was looking on from the top of the castle. She wanted to protect all of them but the magic of the castle didn't let her. People were fighting out of free will and both sides were firing lethal spells at each other. The only thing she could do was to feel the people who were fighting and where they were. As she closed her eyes she could feel something was off. From the side of the castle, she could feel something in the ward. A door opened and the magic of Grindelwald stepped through the opening. It was followed by Voldemort and all the Death Eaters. She Aparated down to the great hall and screamed that the Death Eaters were inside.

This was the one thing one thing they didn't want to happen. While she screamed it she could feel all of them rushing to the stairways and going all over the castle. When Zanita apparated in the middle and screamed the one thing. Hermione hit the panic button. It was the one sound none wanted to hear after the start of the battle outside. It was the sound of the enemy who entered the castle.

#*

Poppy heard it and looked up. She had helped Harry to get better and to rest for the remaining minutes, while she went to the wards and see how they were all doing. When the sound rang out she rushed to the first ward. She looked through the door. "Get them ready to fight here or outside. If you can't, then get them out of here by your Portkeys". She rushed to the next and called out the same thing. She did the same with the next and it was then she got to the Damn ward. "Get them ready to be Popped out. You are all going with them. The floor will be closed down and we will not return until the battle is won. If not, this castle will be in lockdown forever".

Poppy waited until the last was popped out and asked to be popped into the great hall. She was popped onto the stage and saw that a little Infirmary was created as they had planned. Here people would be stabilized and popped out right after it.

Emma had looked on as the men of Grindelwald came running out of the forest. They were firing spells and guns at the castle. At first people on their side were dropping like flies. They had no protection from the guns. People were dropping as they kept on rushing outside. She screamed at them to stop and wait but none could hear her from this height. Just, when she was about to call for a House elf to pop her down, Gunfire was heard from the castle wall. Emma looked through her binoculars and saw the men of Grindelwald dropping like flies.

Suddenly an Elf popped up behind her and took her away. She turned around and saw that the castle was gone. The only thing she saw was Potter's castle in front of her. "Why the hell was I brought back here" Emma screamed as she saw more and more people being popped around her. She saw some of the women that were from the great hall that were taking care of the fighters. She grabbed the first and asked the same thing. But the woman could not answer her.

"Emma come here". Emma spun around on her heels and looked to the spot where she heard the words. She was looking but did not see where the voice had come from. "Emma I'm over here". This time Emma turned to the other side and saw Isabella standing there with Arabella next to her. She motioned her over and Emma had found the one who called for her. So Emma stepped next to her and waited. When she stood there she looked around and really saw the things around them. The campsite for the fighters and the others around them had grown enormous. "What have they been doing" She asked in a whisper.

"They have been saving anyone and everyone they could. All that while they were getting the battle to happen in one place and to end it there too" Arabella said as she looked at another tent being set up by the house elves. "They are evacuating the castle one by one".

"What do you mean by that" Emma asked.

"Well, this is one of the things. If the Death Eaters enter the castle the only ones to remain are the people who will fight them. So only some of the family and none of the others. They can't stop the fighting on the outside. So that will handle itself as it goes along. The people on the outside will be safer than the ones inside".

"And what if they lose that battle" Emma asked her as she already knew the answer.

"The friends will end it all one way or another, even if they have to end themselves with it," Isabella told her as tears started to leak from her eyes.

"What is happening here while we had been down there".

"Isabella wanted to tell her but Arabella told her to go and check up on Dan. Dan was doing great but before they all knew it they would all be thinking about the fighting that was happening in Hogwarts. She was doing enough for all of them. If she had to wait any longer she would have to start with the nails on her toes.

Harry was still not all there when he popped into the middle of the great hall. The second he popped down Daphne was next to him. Bella was on the other side as they all turned to Zanita. "Who is in the castle and where are they" Harry asked.

"Death Eaters are running all over the place. The Carow twins are on their way here. Some others are all over the castle. They are small once but still hard to kill by some. Lucius is on his way to the dungeons. I think he is on his way to get something from the classroom from Severus. Some things are hidden there that are even hidden from me. I did not have the time to check it all out. There are also a couple of Grindelwald's people who are trying to get to the other side of the castle. Voldemort is on his way to the Secretchamber".

"I still think he thinks the snake is still there," Lily said as she stepped between all of them.

"NO, there are a couple of other rooms there. We sealed them off until we could get to it. We knew there might be things from Voldemort there. No Horcruxes because we have checked for them. We just didn't have any time to go through them and just had the Elves lock down the rooms completely" Hermione said as she kept her eyes on Lily. "What about Grindelwald" Hermione went on.

"Grindelwald is on his way to the head office. I think he will try to hide in there" Zanita told her.

"He is mine," Minerva said as she looked at her grandson.

"I will take Lucius," Narcissa told them with an edge to her voice saying no buts from any of you.

"You can have him, but I will be going with you," Hermione told her. " Nolwenn will be going with Harry and Loona will be going with Minerva. They will have to report it. I will do it for them with Lucius. They are the last three big players. I can Handle Lucius if Narcissa can't. Daphne will be going with Minerva and Bella with Harry. Susan and Neville will be going to the Carow twins and taking care of them. After that, they will be going outside and make sure the battle there is won or everyone is down. If we can't win we have to get them to the great hall where we can team up on them and make it in our favor".

As one the friends all saluted her and rushed off. While Neville and Susan rushed down the hallway to get to the Carrows. The others rushed off in their own direction. Amelia had been standing there while a lot of her Aurours had been fighting on the outside. They were under the direction of Kinsley and he was doing everything to get back on their good side. Amelia knew he had it so she was going with her own group all over the castle hunting down all the Death Eaters. Tonks was right behind her and leading her own little group. Slowly the groups would separate until every one of them ended up alone or with just one other person on their side.

#*.

"We are doing great" Kingsley screamed as he cut down a leg from one of the people that were heading his way. His left hand in the fight was standing next to him as a blasting curse came straight at Kingsley. Kinsley ducked and he didn't stop the curs. The curse flew over his head and the next thing he felt was something soft and wet. He placed his hand behind his ear and got something red and meaty in his hand. When he looked back he only saw his right-hand men but not his head. The only thing he saw from that was that little piece he had in his hand. A blasting hex hit him and he lost his right arm that was blown off completely. The one that took his arm threw another curse and took his left as well. When he pointed his wand for the final blast a house elf popped up and took him away.

Now his fighters were alone and Harry heard Zanita telling it to him in his mind. Just when he decided to go there himself he heard the last he wanted to hear. "I will go".

"No Gabrielle you will not".

"I will go and I will take my Veelas with me. We will be dealing with it and you will take care of the noseless. I will be alright and Fawkes will be going with me".

"That was what I'm afraid of, he is even more immature them you are," Harry said back in his mind and out loud making Bella laugh as she heard Gabrielle telling him he had to watch out after the battle because Fawkes would be looking for him.

On the ground, the battle became a free-for-all. The men from Grindelwald had no leader and neither did the Aurors. So spells were flying all over. Some hit dead on but almost all of them flew way over everyone. This was the sight Gabrielle saw when she and the other Veelas stood on the walls looking down. "We have to be safe so we will fly down and lay down fireballs".

"Wait," one of the Air Brigade said from behind them. "Can you throw it in an angle? We are too beat up to fight any longer but we could make a shield for all of you. You are no fighters but if we make a shield you can all fly behind us while throwing the balls under us at the others.

As Harry walked passed a window on the second floor he looked outside and he saw just that. Gabrielle was still on the wall while one after the other Veela's flew by throwing all they could. He saw people being lit up like candles. As he looked closer he saw the brigade protecting them and he went on. "They are doing good," Bella said from behind him. That one is won it will just take some time". Harry just nodded as he started to walk slower as he got to the third floor.

Elves were popping all over the ground and taking all the wounded away. People were treated in the great hall or at Potter Castle. Their own people would be placed in one of the tents while the others would be placed in the dungeons all over the grounds. When spots were running out. more people were placed in the cells of the Werewolves. and all over the place. House elves were even starting to use the ministry-holding cells for the ones who didn't need any more healing.

Poppy had been looking out and was wondering what was happening out there. Suddenly a bell went off and she had her first patient. When she saw Kingsley lying there without any arms she knew she could not help him. So she closed the wounds and made sure he could be sent on. When one of the two Veelas looked at her she gave a sigh. "I can save one of his arms right here and maybe half of the other. I know the muggles can do more after it, but that is for later".

The two Veelas looked on as Poppy did what she had to do, just when the first arm of Kingsley had grown back two other wizards appeared on their tables. Like Poppy, they had to patch them up as best as possible and send them on their way. And so it went, one after the other was placed on their table. Some made it but most were beyond saving and were therefore helped out of their misery.

Gabrielle was literally flying above the field as the Veelas just went on throwing Fireballs at everyone. Their fire burned them all but the way it was thrown did not kill any of them. Those burns were painful but could all be cured completely. Grandmere was standing at the doorway looking at it all. She saw almost all the Veelas coming out none were fighters but this was just easy. The numbers were bigger than any fighters that were on the field. So as they burned all of them it just stopped the fighting in a second. When some of the enemy started to retreat into the forest the Werewolves and Fighters followed them. One by one they rounded them up and captured the ones that surrendered. The ones that didn't would be sent home and back to the family in the worst way. While Grandmere looked on she knew that behind her was another battle that was going all over the castle. She turned around when she heard Spellfire. She did not see anything but lamps were shaking and dust was flying everywhere. When she looked into the great hall she could see that it was cleared out except the spot from Poppy. After the last of the fighters on the grounds had gone down, she called back the Veelas and Gabrielle. They all landed and activated their PortKeys. All disappeared except for Gabrielle. She took her spot in the back behind a wall. There she would be safe until Harry said he needed her or that they had to leave. Her mind was complete but her little body had still a week to grow before she would be all grown up again. The only people that were left to protect Poppy and the Veelas healers were a couple of Goblin guards, Bogrod, and Grandmere.

None knew how Avery had done it. But he had gotten to the other side of Hogwarts. Slowly he was walking the hallways looking for anyone that was there. He didn't see anyone so he kept on walking on. Suddenly he heard some noise and he crouched down. With his left foot before his right, he slowly sneaked his way down the hallway and to the source of the sound. When he got to the room he heard it he looked past the doorpost. His eyes got big and he saw Abaforth Dumbledore. He was an easy target and he had never done anything to any of them. He still remembered the times he had been fighting in the Hogshead. Abaforth had only placed them outside to fight on. When they were done they could always walk back in and have another drink. So this one would be easy he was just a gentle soul. "He Abaforth, how are you doing" Avery said as he walked in.

Abaforth had already heard him coming and went on with cleaning up. Bella Figg had told him about the last warning and he was packing up. When it was all done he would go back to his own bar because he knew people would be needing it as they were building everything back up after the war. He was no fighter and none had asked him to do it. He had just been there to give them all the two drinks every night. Those were the only two drinks the friends had allowed him to give to anyone. Some wanted more but that would only be after the war. For now, he was packing up and setting up a new bar on the Peferell grounds. He had run out of liquor early on. But the Muggles had shown him how to make more from almost everything. So when he heard Potter would be going into business with them he had to join. His bar would be a tastery for all of them.

("He Abaforth, how are you doing".) Abaforth looked up when he heard the words. When he saw Avery he pulled his wand from his pocket and placed it before him on the bar and outside his eyeside.

"Avery, long time no see. What are you doing here? I thought you would be working for the ministry". Abaforth knew he had to play dumb so he could get him when he was not looking.

"No, I have been fighting the war on the good side. I never thought I would see you here of all places".

"Well, you know me," Abaforth told him. "I always go where I can make the most money. Here I found it so why not make a few gold pieces".

Avery got a thoughtful look. Abaforth could see that Avery did not trust him so he had to think of something. "You never know what I found when I was away. I got something that is called moonshine" and Abeforth filled a glass of it. It was the strongest one he kept for the Goblins and vampires. It was almost ninety percent proof and too strong for a wizard or Muggle. Avery threw it back and started to suck in his breath loudly. His insides were on fire and Abafort took his wand in his hand.

Avery was turning red and was banging his chest to get more air. A cutting curse came sailing passed him and he pulled out his wand. He opened his mouth and pointed his wand towards Abaforth. But he could not speak and Abeforth threw another cutting cures his way. Avery ducked and was glad Bellatrix had taught him to duck or to get out of the way.

With his second curse, Abaforth missed again. He just could not hit him and it told him he was just not good at fighting. As he thought about his time at the castle he had learned something he almost forgot. Dan Granger had told him that you always had to fight with the strength you had inside of yourself. Look for the spells you could do in your sleep and use them to fight. Avery was still trying to get his breath back as Abefort pointed his wand again. "ACCIO" was all he heard. Avery looked at him with big eyes. He just didn't understand why he would use that kind of spell because you could do nothing with it.

For Abaforth it was the one spell he always used. It was a way to get all the glasses and tableware to him without walking all over the bar. When he used it he Accioed a Knife from the bar. Avery had not seen it and just looked at Abaforth. He never saw the knife and he also never expected it. When it struck him in the back of his neck he could only look at Abaforth. Abefoth saw his eyes getting bigger when the knife struck him. It took a couple of seconds before Avery dropped to his knees and fell face first as the blood dripped on the floor passed his ears.

Abaforth walked behind him and pulled out the knife. As he cleaned it he called for a house elf to get the scum out of there. After that, he got all of his things and took one look around. It had almost been a year he had been here and now he was going to Potter Castle and the Peferell grounds. If they won this battle then tonight was the last night he would be there. If that was the case he could go back to his own bar. If not he would set it up at the Peferell ground and look for something on the other side of the ocean.

Lucius was making his way down to the classroom that had belonged to Severus. He knew Severus had all kinds of exploding potions hidden away. If he took them he could throw them at the brats and blast them away after it. Like always he thought he was all that and didn't look around him as he rushed on.

Narcissa who had already seen him walking by was slowly following him. Hermione was telling her to get him but Narcissa shook her head. "Wait until we are down there. If we start here, others could come and help him. Now I know I can take him. I know you will have my back. But can we take all those who will help him when they hear us battling him". Hermione nodded at her reasoning and walked on as Lucius was making his way further down. He wasn't really doing it silently so they wondered who had taught him how to sneak around.

Lucius who was still oblivious that Narcissa and Hermione were following him didn't look around. He just went on in a sneaky way while he was rushing like a dragon in an Apofery shop. When he got to the classroom he didn't look around or checked if it was safe to go in. He just went in and right to the wall. When he got there he placed his wand on a spot and a cabinet became visible. When he opened it his jaw dropped to the floor. It was empty, no bottles no wands nothing, not even a spek of dust.

"Looking for something".

Lucius swirled around with his wand in his hand. He immediately let go of a cutting hex hoping he would hit, whoever he saw. Both Hermione and Narcissa ducked and looked up with a smile as the eyes of Lucius became big.

"YOU" Lucius screamed as he looked at his wife. "How dear you. You are supposed to be with your husband all the time. You are supposed to be my wife and do what I say".

Narcissa started to laugh loudly and just kept on looking at Lucius. On the inside she was afraid. It had been something she knew she would be. When she demanded this fight she was sure she could take him. Now standing here and looking at him she wasn't any longer. She had trained and would do all she could. But she just didn't know if it would be enough.

"I command you to listen and kill that bitch" Narcissa looked back and only shook her head. "I command you" Lucius screamed again.

Narcissa just kept on looking as her wand was slowly dropping into her hand. She knew that at any second Lucius would send his first real curse at her. She did not have to look at Hermione because she knew she could take care of herself. Hermione would not interfere with the fight. Unless Lucius would throw a killing curse and she could not avoid it. "I'm not your wife anymore. It ended the moment you stepped through the wards. Sirius ended our marriage and took back the dowery the blacks gave you. I can tell you now you have nothing left".

"You lie" Lucius screamed as he threw another curse at her head.

Narcissa had to shield this one because she would never be on time to get out of the way. She stumbled back and was held up by the wall she hit.

"Where is my son" Lucius screamed again breathing deeply as he started to get red from anger.

This time Narcissa had to smirk. She knew something Lucius didn't and she was just getting giddy by knowing she could tell him. "Your son has changed a lot. He is dating a werewolf and has changed his loyalty".

"My son is a pureblood and he would never date a beast". Lucius was slowly losing it and began throwing every dark spell he had and knew. Narcissa was dancing around to keep on avoiding the spells. One cutting curse hit her and she fell down.

"Narcissa get it together or I will jump in" Hermione screamed as she saw that Narcissa was not thinking in the fight.

Narcissa rolled away from the next curse that slammed into the wall beside her head. She did not see where Hermione was but she did hear her. She gave her a nod while she kept her eyes on Lucius. Still, it was easier said than done. As she stood there before her husband for the first time in such a long time, she could not help herself. Slowly the fear got back to her. She remembered everything he had done to her. How he made her feel like she was nothing and just a slave.

"Stupefy".

The eyes of Narcissa became big. she had just jumped out of the way when she heard the spell and Lucius dropped to the floor, She was breathing hard as she looked at Hermione. Her eyes became bigger when she saw Hermione attacking her. Her throwing axe she had gotten from the Goblins dropped into her hand. She got the Ball of spikes and screamed "What the Fuck". Emma had taught her more than they knew. "Why the hell did you stun him and attack me".

"You were getting overpowered by him. Get out of your head and think about what you have and not what you had. Nolwenn is good for you. Draco is getting better. You have a lovely furball for a daughter-in-law. We all love you but you have to get out of your head" Hermione screamed at her.

Hermione hadn't attacked her any further and Narcissa was only looking at her eyes. She took a deep breath and knew Hermione was right. Nolwenn loved her and showed her that love was more than spreading your legs. That was the Love Lucius wanted but Nolwenn wanted the love from her heart. "Release him" Narcissa snarled.

Hermione gave her a wicked smile and stepped back to the side. She released Lucius. If it had been anyone else she would have killed him. But Narcissa needed this. She needed to get even and after that, she would be on her way back to Potter Castle.

Lucius was released and he jumped up. He looked at Hermione and pointed his wand at her. Before he could fire a spell a Blasting hex impacted next to him at the wall. The impact on the wall made him turn around and he was just in time to duck away as the axe landed on the other side. "I hate you. I hated you when you passed me off to your buddies. And Hermione had woken me up". The eyes of Lucius snapped to Hermione but he could not look long enough because another spell crossed his vision. "Look at me you scumbag. I have found love with a woman who treats me better than you ever could".

"You lie" and Lucius started to throw everything he knew for a second time.

Narcissa wanted to scream some more but she could not because she had to protect herself. Here and there she saw a little opening to throw a spell back. But most of all she had to duck out of the way. Fighting in a classroom was not the smartest thing to do. But she knew that she had Hermione looking out for her. When Lucius was close enough she grabbed her little handheld axe and swiped it across. She nicked him in the chest and saw him stumbling back. When she looked up Lucius was standing near the desk of Severus as he held his chest with one hand.

Blood was dripping between his fingers. One thing was sure. He might not get out of the room alive. But he was going to take this bitch with him.

Narcissa saw his look and the panic came over her again. The dark thoughts were getting the upper hand and she started to crumble before him.

"Avada Kadavra".

This was it. Hermione could not save her. She froze and she would die right here and now. She saw the green spell heading to her. She looked and just as she thought it would hit her it went passed her. She whipped her head around and heard a thumb. Her eyes focused and when she looked closer she saw Lucius lying on the ground with his eyes open in fear. He was dead, he was killed by an AK curse. But she did not send it. As she looked at Hermione she saw the same big eyes as she herself would probably have at the moment. So Hermione had not been the one to send it.

Slowly she turned around knowing that when she saw the person who had done it. He or she might do it to her too. Her eyes became bigger when she saw her Draco standing there.

His wand was loosely in his hand, his mouth was open, and like in slow motion it slipped from his grip and dropped to the floor. His furball girlfriend rushed passed him and engulfed Narcissa in her arms. "You are safe" she whispered in her ear.

"Narcissa heard the words but she just could not take her eyes off Draco. Hermione had walked to him and took him in her arms. "How could someone be so so".

"He was raised that way just like you have been. He didn't know any different. One way or another it would have been the same outcome. Only you had to do it now. You are way better and you will only become better than he will ever be. You are the Lord Malfoy and you have a beautiful girl to be your wife". Hermione said as she looked him in the eye seeing the hurt in it. The look was one they had themself not so long ago when they had their first kill.

"She will hate me" he mumbled.

Before Hermione could say something Narcissa rushed passed her as she hugged him. "I will never hate you. I love you, I always have but I was never allowed to show it".

Draco just looked at her. He could see in her eyes that she meant it before he could respond. Hermione stepped next to them. "Here take this Portkey and get out of here. We will handle the rest.

As the three of them popped away. Hermione turned around and started to look for someone she could help.

This was it again for this time. See you all very soon.
