The Malfoy Affair (A Draco Malfoy x OC Fanfiction)

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Battle Of Hogwarts Begins

Previously......

"We need to find Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem." I told them. "The last place it was seen was here at Hogwarts and we have reason to believe it never left."

"Okay, but Aria, it's lost. For centuries now. There's not a person alive today who's seen it." Cho Chang informed me. It was then that Ginny came running in, stopping when she saw my brother.

"Harry." Ginny stated.

"Ginny." Harry replied.

"Six months she hasn't seen me and it's like I'm Frankie First Year. I mean, I'm only her brother." Ron smiled.

"Got loads of those, though, doesn't she? There's only one Harry." Seamus smirked.

"Shut up, Seamus." Ron told him.

"What is it, Ginny?" Neville finally asked.

"Snape knows. He knows that Harry and Aria were spotted in Hogsmeade." Ginny informed us.

"Good." I smirked and everyone but the Golden Trio looked at me in confusion. "There's another Horcrux we have to take care of and it's on You-Know-Who. His snake, Nagini." I left out the part Harry or I had to die purposefully. "Now that Snape knows we are here, it's time to make our grand entrance." Then I looked to my brother, "Shall we?"

Now..............

While the Gryiffindors marched in sync down the stairs, Harry and I snuck in the middle of them, hiding and blending in. We ended up walking to the Great Hall with the rest of the houses, Snape at the end of the Hall. I looked at him with resentment. When everyone was there, that's when Snape started talking. "Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you here at this hour. It has come to my attention that earlier this evening... Harry and Aria Potter were sighted in Hogsmeade." Snape revealed and a murmur filled the hall. "I mention this in the hopes that truth will not be supplanted by rumor. For myself and a few select members of the staff this comes as little surprise. We have, for some time, considered the Potter's return to Hogwarts to be not only possible but inevitable. Consequently, in the past several months and under my specific direction, exhaustive defensive strategies have been employed to defeat any attempt the Potters might make to breach these walls. But know this. Should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid the Potters, that person will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression. Rest assured: So long as I am Headmaster at Hogwarts, Harry and Aria Potter will never again step foot in this castle." There was applause from some of the Slytherins, not all of them, but some of them. "Now then. If anyone here has knowledge of Mr. Potter's movements this evening... I invite them to step forward now." Then there was silence. My brother and I shared a look. Then there was a pair of footsteps, my brother and I.

"I think we can help you out with that..." My brother said as we came out from a crowd of Gryrffindors.

"I have to say Professor, you have a security problem, despite your exhaustive defensive strategies." I smirked at him. I could see the betrayal in Snape's eyes and I was living for it because at that moment he realized, I wasn't my mother but I was me, Aria Lily Potter, standing against him.

Then the Order came into the Great hall, it consisted of: Ron, Hermione, Remus, Sirius, Draco, Arthur, Molly, Fred, George, Percy, Luna, Dean Thomas, Bill, Fleur and Kingsley.

"And I'm afraid it's rather extensive." Harry told him. The Carrows moved towards us, making me draw my wand but Harry keeps his eyes on Snape with Malice. "How dare you stand where he stood." Harry drew his wand. "Tell them how it was that night. Tell then how you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you... and killed him. Tell them!" Then McGonagall stood poised, ready to fight, no longer shocked as the air pricked with anticipation. Snape moved as if he was going to draw his wand but McGonagall stepped forward casting a spell towards Snape but wards off the spell.
