Snape and Lily's daughter

Battle of Hogwarts - part 1

Grace left the Shrieking Shack with one less weight on her shoulders: besides discovering that her father had actually been on the side of the Order all this time, her father was alive and safe.

While walking through the grounds of Hogwarts she bumped into Neville, who was carrying a body with the help of Oliver Wood. When Grace went to look at who the two were carrying, it was as if she had been punched in the stomach, it was Colin Creevey.

"You know what? I can manage him alone, Neville," Oliver said, putting Colin over his shoulder, and heading toward the Great Hall.

That's when Harry appeared next to Neville and Grace.

"Neville, Grace."

"Blimey, Harry, you nearly gave me heart failure!" Neville said.

"Where are you going, alone?" Grace asked suspiciously.

"It's all part of the plan," said Harry. "There's something I've got to do. Listen — Neville —"

"Harry, you're not thinking of handing yourself over?" Neville asked.

Grace's heart began to race at that moment, her brother wouldn't be that crazy, would he? That's when she remembered Snape's words: Harry would have to act alone from now on. So Grace concluded that she would not get in her brother's way in whatever he wanted to do.

" 'Course not... this is something else. But I might be out of sight for a while. Grace knows Voldemort's snake... calls it Nagini."

"I've heard, yeah... What about it?" Neville said.

"It's got to be killed. Ron and Hermione also know that, but just in case they —"

"Kill the snake?" Grace said.

"Kill the snake," he repeated.

After Harry left, Grace went to the Great Hall. However, when she arrived, she didn't expect to find what she found: the body of Tonks and Lupin, standing next to each other, almost holding hands.

Grace ran to the body of her surrogate sister. She began to sob. Molly and Ginny had to get Grace out of there.

Thousands wounded, many dead. Grace tried to put her sadness at seeing Tonks' body aside to do the right thing and help the wounded and whoever needed it.

Suddenly a voice began to resound in the eardrums of everyone in the castle.

"Harry Potter is dead. He was killed as he ran away, trying to save himself while you lay down your lives for him. We bring you his body as proof that your hero is gone.

"The battle is won. You have lost half of your fighters. My Death Eaters outnumber you, and the Boy Who Lived is finished. There must be no more war. Anyone who continues to resist, man, woman, or child, will be slaughtered, as will every member of their family. Come out of the castle now, kneel before me, and you shall be spared. Your parents and children, your brothers and sisters will live and be forgiven, and you will join me in the new world we shall build together."

Everyone was silent. Grace started to cry again.

A few seconds later, the Death Eaters were in the entrance hall of the castle.

"NO!" McGonagall screamed.

A laugh was heard coming from Bellatrix. The entrance to the school was filling up with people.

"No!" Hermione and Grace screamed, when they saw Hagrid carrying Harry's body.

"No!" screamed Ron.

"Harry! HARRY!" Ginny yelled.

The crowd began to shout against the Death Eaters.

"SILENCE!" cried Voldemort. "It is over! Set him down, Hagrid, at my feet, where he belongs!"
