"You have fought valiantly, but in vain. I do not wish this. Every drop of magical blood spilt is a terrible waste. I therefore command my forces to retreat. In their absence, dispose of your dead with dignity."
We all looked at one another. Shocked filled our faces as we had no idea what hogwards looked like. If any of the orders or friends were dead on the grounds.
I looked towards Harry, who seemed to still be listening to something.
"Harry?" I said timidity
He looked up at me with a blank expression.
"I'm going to meet him in the forbidden forest."
"What? Are you mad?" Ron questioned
"It's the only way we can truly win. Just do one thing for me and kill that snake. "
Tears started to fill my eyes
"You can't be serious right now." My voice was shaken
He walked over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders
"Y/n Potter. You have been the bain of my life, but I love you with all my heart. Make sure you finish the job. "
I pulled him for the biggest hug of all. It was like all our childhood memories wrapped into one big inbrace.
"Be careful," I whispered
"As much as it pains me to admit. Mattheo has been the best thing that's ever happened to you." He pulls back and looks me in the eyes with a genuine smile."I do approve of your choice... for once. "
We both let out a little laugh before hugging again.
"Right, I've got to head off now. Hermione and Ron. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Make sure you look after yourselves."
He turned around and looked at Mattheo.
"Break her heart, and I'll break you," He said with a sarcastic smile. Mattheo just nodded at his response.
He then walked out the door and didn't look back. I dropped to my knees in a heap, letting out the biggest scream.
A pair of arms wrapped around me and held me tight. The scent of the forest and old cigarette smoke hit me like an old memory.
"Let's go, princess,"
I stood up and turned to face him. I wiped away the tears that fell down my cheek with my long sleeve.
"Right, here's the plan," Theo piped up, and we all stood in a circle
"We need to spilt up and search the castle from top to bottom," He commanded while looking around the circle
A hesitated voice whispered, "I'm not going to lie Theo, but if I was Voldermout, I wouldn't keep the last horcrux alone in a castle full of the enemy," Pans
We all looked at one another. "She's right, you know," Draco said
A deafened silence fell for what seemed like forever.
"Well then, let's just help in whatever we can and hope Harry doesn't disappoint," I said calmly
I headed for the door and looked back
"Come on. Let's help in the great hall. "
Everyone nodded and followed as we made our way down all the corridors.
My last memory of this amazing castle ground was filled with laughter, and happiness was now a crumbled mess. Paintings were burnt, and bricks were everywhere.
Blood was stained all over the walls and the grounds. With bodies of magical creatures scattered everywhere.
"Merlins beard," Ron shouted
We practically ran the rest of the way to the hall. Where we saw hundreds of people getting first aid or on the floor with a blanket over them.
My eyes were darting around the room to see if I could see anyone. And there she was, Mrs Weasley. Stood crying over a body. I ran over to her. She looked at me with tears streaming down her face. I looked down and there lyed Fred. White skin with cuts of blood on him. His eyes were closed, and a white sheet was covering half of his body.
"Oh Freddy," I cried into his shoulder when another pair of arms wrapped around me and him.
It was Ron. Sobbing his heart out. I let go of Fred and wrapped my arms around Ron. And we silently cried into eachothers shoulders.
Suddenly, we were taken back by loud shouts from outside and a young griffindor boy shouting.
"THE DEATH EATERS ARE BACK"
We all stood up and ran out of the hall and gathered in the reminds of what the courtyard was.
The death eaters were all in a line across the back where they had hagrid in chains, holding what looked like a body.
I gingerly started to walk to the front of the crowd.
"HARRY POTTER IS DEAD," Voldermout shouted in the biggest voice that it echoed through the school.
"No," I screamed as I pushed my way to the front
A red flash from his wand struck, narrowing missing me and hitting the floor next to me.
"Just the girl I want to see," He said, showing off his disgusting teeth and smile.
