'I can't make you wait for me, I'm not going to allow that,' Harry told her as everyone hurried to hug their loved ones.

'You don't have to, because I know that we are going to be together once this is over, I promise,' Harry smiled and kissed her. Harry broke the kiss and Ashley hugged him.

Hermione pulled her off, Ashley hugged Hermione while looking at Harry. Harry looked at his best friends one last time, he smiled then walked down the stairs and slowly disappeared.

Ashley looked like the group of death eaters made their way to them. She saw Hagrid carrying someone, she squinted her eyes but she couldn't tell who it was.

"Who's that?" Ginny asked as she walked beside Ashley. Then they saw the group get closer to them, Hagrid came to view and his eyes were glossy.

"Harry Potter...is dead," Voldemort shouted. Ashley felt her heart stop, she kept saying no under her breath. A tear slipped down her cheek and Ginny shouted, "No...NO," Ashley and Mr. Weasley pulled her back.

Voldemort looked at Ginny then at Ashley, "I thought you were his beloved one," he smirked while Bellatrix laughed.

"Stupid girl, love, Harry Potter is dead from this day on you'll put your faith in me," he said as he got closer to them.

He turns around and looks at his death eaters, "Harry Potter is dead," he shouts and they laugh forcefully. Ashley looked at the group of death eaters and her eyes landed on Draco Malfoy. He had a slight smirk on his face, he had no sympathy for anyone not even himself.

"And now is the time to declare yourself to me, come towards and join us or die,"

Ashley saw Neville walk up closer to them. "Well, I must say I hope for better," All death eaters howled with laughter while Ashley scoffed lightly.

"And who you might be young man?" Voldemort walked closer to Neville. "Neville Longbottom,"

"I'd like to say something...doesn't matter that Harry is gone,"

"Neville stand down," Seamus said.

Neville looked at him but then back at the group. "People die every day, friends, family, yeah, we lost Harry tonight but he's still with us, in here, so is Fred, Tonks, Remus, all of them, they didn't die out of vain...but you will,"

Ashley saw Voldemort reach for his wand. He drew his wand to him, "Avada Kedavra," Ashley quickly got hers and went in front of Neville. "Expelliarmus," she shouted.

The red light quickly hit Voldemort, his wand went flying and his body went along with it. There were a few gasps from both sides.

Bellatrix ran to her master and tried helping him up but Voldemort didn't want to be seen as weak so he pushed her away.

"Silly mudblood," he shouted frustrated. "You'll die just like every other mudblood here, get them," he shouts.

Death eaters started attacking them and everyone ran and others apparated away. Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and Ginny's, "we have to go," Hermione looked at him. "Are you mad? We have to fight" Ginny said to her brother.

Ron didn't listen to them, he gripped their hands and apparated.

Ashley found herself in the tower, "Bombarda," she shouted. As she kept running she felt someone grab her hand, she turned her head but it was too late she was already apparating.

She landed on the floor and saw George, "we had to leave," he said flatly. Ashley nodded and looked around they were at her house but it was empty.

Ashley had to obliviate her parents before she went with her group to find the horcruxes. She did it for her and their safety.

The room was slowly getting filled with people. The Weasley's, Hermione, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Dean, Neville, Luna, Moody, Hunter, and Seamus.

"We have to go, now," Moody said frantically. Everyone agreed, "where?" Ginny asked.

"I know a place," all eyes landed on Ashley and they slowly nodded.

Ashley and her brother, Hunter, gulped and looked at their house one more time hoping that things would get better.

But little did they know things were only going to get worse.
