Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 63

We just sat there, mourning for our friend who left to sacrifice himself to Voldemort. Just then someone yelled out from somewhere announcing that Voldemort was on the bridge.

"He's coming back! Voldemort! He's on the bridge!"

We quickly stood on our feet and down the stairs. Students were running around all directions. Most of them ran to protect themselves or to get in front of the school. I spotted the twins running towards the front where I was standing at the moment. They both saw me and quickly came up next to me. George quickly pulled me into his arms.

"Come on. He's coming." George breathed and grabbed my hand leading me outside.

We exited the door and saw everyone stood there as the group of Death Eaters walked behind Voldemort who was slowly walking towards the Hogwarts ground crossing the bridge. George's grip on my hand tightened.

Once reached he stood steps away from us with a smug smile on his serpent like face.

"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort yelled.

"No!" Ginny tried to leap forward but someone grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Silence! Stupid girl!" Voldemort hissed.

We looked at Hagrid who was carrying Harry's body. Tears gathered in my eyes as sobbed silently. The hurt in George's and in other's eyes was visible.

"Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth, you put your faith in me." He triumphantly announced turning to the ground of Death Eaters behind him. "Harry Potter is dead."

The group behind him started to laugh in joy. Bellatrix's ugly cackle was heard. I turned my gaze from Harry's body to her. My eyes burned with rage as my breathing got heavy.

"And now is the time to declare yourself. Come forward and join us. Or die." Voldemort announced.

No one moved an inch, just stared either somewhere else or forward at them. No one wanted to join a man's side who killed their friends of family. They'd rather die then do that.

Draco was called out by his parents. They stood forward on Voldemort's side and urged him to step forward to them. He looked around the ground of people and decided to obey his parents. He began to walk towards them, head down in shame and fear. Voldemort reached both of his hand and embraced Draco in an awkward hug. He didn't move his arms to hug him back.

After Draco went back to his parents, Voldemort closed his eyes for a moment and what looked like, took a deep breath and looked straight at the crowd where we stood. I noticed his gaze moving from one person to another.

Who was he looking for?

"I sense her here." Voldemort said. "Where is she? Y/N Knight! Show yourself!"

I let go of George's hand and gave him an assuring look that I'll be fine. I pushed past the crowd and came in view.

"There you are..." Voldemort grinned as I looked stared at him. "I waited so long and finally you're here, in front of me. You have the most incredible powers, Knight. Your hands. It could be of great use. Join me and see where your power leads.

"I'll join you when hell freezes over." I spat.

Voldemort looked dissapointed and rather angry at my answer.

"Tut, tut, tut... shame. Then die-" Before Voldemort could finish, Neville stepped forward beside me, slightly stumbling with his injured leg.

"Well, I must say I hoped for better." Voldemort said as the crowd behind him erupted in laughter. "And who might you be, young man?"

"Neville Longbottom." Neville answered as the Death Eaters laughed again.

"Well, Neville I'm sure we can find a place for you in our rank." Voldemort said.

"I'd like to say something." Neville said, unemotionally.

"Well, Neville I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to hear what you say." Voldemort traced his fingers on his wand.

"Doesn't matter that Harry's gone." Neville started.

"Stand down, Neville." Seamus suggested.

"People die everyday. Friends, family. Yeah, we lost Harry tonight. But he's still with us... in here. So is Fred, Remus, Tonks... all of them. They didn't die in vain! But you will! Cause you're wrong! Harry's heart did beat for us! For all of us!" Neville took out the sword of Gryffindor out of the sorting hat and positioned himself. "It's not over!"

Voldemort stood there looking unimpressed. Suddenly Harry's body rolled off from Hagrid's arm, landing on his feet and sprinting off.

Voldemort started firing spells just as soon as Harry fired a spell at the snake. But there was sheild around it and blocked the spell. Harry ran, undercover behind rubbles and piles of stones. Voldemort continued to throw blasting spells of fire at him but he kept dodging it.

The students ran back into the castle as Harry and I produced sheild around people to stop spells from hitting them.

We all then jumped into fighting. I kept stunning or killing every Death Eater that would get caught in my eyes. As I continued eliminating as much Death Eaters I could, in a corner, I spotted Molly who aggressively kept firing spells as hard as she could against her opponent who was non other then Bellatrix Lestrange. She kept blocking the spells that was thrown by Molly.

I quickly jumped in to help her. I lifted my hand to freeze Bellatrix's body. It was like using 'Petrificus Totalus' without my wand. Molly wasted no time and fired a non verbal spell at her making her burst into dust and meet her end.

Molly pulled me into a large hug as tears ran out of hers.

"Thank you so much dear! I can't be more grateful." She sobbed.

"It's alright now." I whispered comforting her then went back fight.

I looked everywhere in the hall and saw some struggling to keep up with the Death Eaters and some were failing to disarm them. I couldn't let any one else to die tonight. I looked around and saw no Death Eaters were charging at me or shooting spells. I took the chance and closed my eyes.

I knew about a spell that could eliminate enemies in one utter. I placed the tip of my wand at the floor. A green light started emitting from it. I then pointed my wand up, swirling it around me quickly. The green light came out at the speed of light and fire spreaded out on the ground sending all the Death Eaters to their deaths.

Every Death Eaters that was in the room hit the floor in sync and now lying on the floor lifeless. I stood up straight looking around the room. Everyone stopped their movements with shocked impression on their faces. They all turned to me and stared. I gazed at my right to George with a proud grin on his face as well as Fred.

The room erupted in cheeres as Ginny came running up and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and laughed.

"That was bloody brilliant, Y/N!" The twins joined in as we broke the hug.

"How'd you do that dear?" Arthur asked as Molly came beside placing her hand over my shoulder.

"I don't know... it's just happened." I replied, figuring out a convincing answer.

Everyone in the room either took a seat or was trying to catch breath for the amount of energy they were putting in to fight against the Death Eaters who were now dead on the ground. Some of them gave me thankful looks and I gave them an assuring smiles referring that I got their backs.
