Amber ran forward with Clover, ready to fight. I hope she doesn't get hurt by the way she's fighting. Leaping onto Alaska, she flew forward over the dark hill. "Go Alaska!" I encouraged her, and she spurt out a long and powerful wave of fire upon the enemies. Everything lit up again. A dementor suddenly came near to me and I yelled, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" I cried in fright. The dementor froze mid-air and then fell to earth, its cloak trailing behind it. I stared at it, shocked, then saw swarms of other dementors flying straight at us. Alaska blew her fire and I protected us using the expecto patronum spell. But I was so proud of Alaska. She was amazing! "Alaska, should I send down the killing curse?" I asked hesitantly, as the dementors flew away in fright. She looked at me and tilted her head. She spits a tiny blue flame on a stick that is stuck in her scales.

I pulled the stick out and dropped it before it turned to ashes. That looked like a yes. Making sure where I was pointing was the enemies and not my friends, I took a deep breath in and yelled, "Avada Kadavra!" A jolt of green light shot out of my wand and landed straight on two dark shapes who screamed and fell dead. "I don't like this." I shivered. Alaska roared and blew flame over the enemies again. Suddenly, I slipped and plummeted down to the ground. Amber looked up and screamed. Clover flew straight up to me and I landed on her safely, puffing for breath. Waving to Alaska that I was safe and that she should keep burning the enemies, Clover flew me down to the battlefield. "Avada Kadavra!" I yelled as I saw A death eater run for Clover. He fell over. "Lola? Y-you're actually killing people!"

"I- I know. I really don't want to but I need to..." I whimpered. "Well, I need to kill Delphi here so you might want to leave," Amber replied, staring down at Delphi who was writhing on the ground. My eyes grew wide and I nodded, running toward the castle. I saw my Niffler running about, stealing people's jewellery which made them trip and fall. A smile grew on my face as she stole the belt off one of the death eaters. She ran away with it and he tripped over the belt, his face landing in mud. I laughed. Tealinne put the belt in her pouch and then ran off to find more shiny things. I ran on dodging the enemies who ran for me. Then I saw a bunch of my friends. I was on the Hogwarts side of the war. I looked around in panic as I saw heaps of twitching people on the floor, groaning.

I put my hand to my mouth, gasping. Calling Alaska down from the sky, I placed all of our hurt people on my dragon. Then I saw Ron. I cried out loud. Before the enemies came over, I called to Alaska to take them to Professor Emily. She flew off, everyone on her wings. I hope they're okay. I thought, watching her disappear behind the castle. I heard a scream. Turning around, I saw Leah trying to fend off a dementor. She was screaming expecto patronum but she was too scared to send it to him. "Crucio!" I yelled, pointing my wand at him. I felt paralysed as he was tortured by my spell. I grabbed Leah and ran away with her, then undid the crucio curse, freeing him. "Lola... you..."

"Yes, I know. But it has to be done. I'm sorry Leah!" I cried. Leah hugged me. "You're braver than all of us. Don't be sorry. I'll be fine. You help the others." Leah smiled. I smiled back and ran off to help everyone else. Suddenly, there was a roar and I looked up. Alaska was back and she was spitting fire everywhere. All the enemies in range of the fire turned to ashes and I gazed proudly at her. I'll miss you when you become a baby again. I sighed. I ran into the war, shooting Expelliarmus spells at every coming enemy. Suddenly, I saw Delphi rise up from behind Amber and raise her sword-like wand. She let out a loud battle cry and brought the sword down with all her might. "AMBER, NO!" I cried and ran forward, sliding in between the wand and Amber. "LAUMARA!" I screeched, putting my hands up to my face to protect me in fright. A bright yellow turtle-shell-looking forcefield around me.

But alas, Delphi's sword sliced through my wand at the exact same moment and there was a loud explosion as my wand broke in two. Sparks flew everywhere and I took a step back as my wand exploded. Delphi and I were blown back and I stopped myself from touching the yellow forcefield. But Delphi was blown straight into the forcefield. She fell over, unconscious. I stared in shock. A bright golden light was wavering around in mid-air. Then as soon as it appeared, it faded, my wand lying broken in two halves. I saw Delphi starting to stand up. She was reaching for her wand. I leapt forward and snatched it out of her hands. I shook it until it turned into her wand. "I'm sorry Delphi. It's time to join your father. Avada Kadavra!" I pointed the wand at her. "NO!" She cried, and the green light shot out of the wand and shot her. Her face scrunched with pain, and then her chest stopped heaving.

She was dead. Her life was over. "Cardio." I sniffed, pointing my wand to the roof. The forcefield disappeared and I walked over to Amber. Suddenly, I heard a yell. "AMBER!" I turned and saw Edward running toward my sister, his hair turning red. I stood in front of her a bit. "How could you?!" He cried. Amber raised her eyebrow. "What is it?" She asked. "YOU KILLED HIM!" Edward screamed, "Killed who?" Amber asked again. "He was the last family I had!" Edward shouted. "Family?" Amber echoed. "Yes! Amber, he was my uncle!" Edward screamed. "The werewolf" Amber mumbled. "You're Liam's brother!" She realised. Liam's brother? He can't be! "Yes, and Romulus was my last family!" Edward growled. Amber gulped "Last? I-I didn't know-"

"That doesn't matter," He said pointing his wand at me. "I'll prove to him I'm worth it" Amber looked down. I could guess her thoughts. She thought she deserved to die. Before I could do anything, I heard Liam yell. "NO! Edward, I know you're mad, but this won't help!" Liam cried. My heart fluttered. He might just still love her! "SHUT IT!" Edward yelled and pointed his wand at Liam. Liam gasped "Edward..." Liam whispered. "Your better than this-"

"She KILLED him! She's the reason he's dead! Why can't you understand that?!" He raged, pointing to Amber accusingly. Amber gulped again. "NO! No way! You are not harming my sister! If you harm her, you harm me!" I yelled and got in the way between Edward's wand and Amber. "Get out of the way, you didn't do anything!" Edward huffed. I heard Amber's voice in my ear. "Don't worry, Lola."

"I can't let you die!" I sniffed. "What are you planning?" Edward asked. "Nothing..." Amber whispered. "Did you not hear me? WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?!" He screamed. I saw a slight look of fear in his eyes. "NOTHING!" Amber screamed. He flinched. I looked at Amber with a gulp. She nodded to me and I slowly took a step back. Amber put her hand behind her back so I could clearly see her wand on the floor. She pointed to her wand and frowned. She wants me to grab her wand and give it to her. Oooooohh. I pretended to drop something and lean down to get it. Then I picked up her wand and placed the end of the wand onto her hand. "What are you doing back there?" Edward asked. "Just wondering what it'll be like in heaven" Amber answered before I could reply. "You shouldn't need to. You're never going there, you're going to hell. Now, any last words?" Edward asked. I shivered, quickly standing beside my sister, just in case he shot so I could stand in front of Amber. "Just one. Maybe next time, you'll remember who to trust" Amber answered. "Wha-?"

"OBLIVIATE!" Amber yelled quickly, pointing her wand at him. He got swung back and hit against the floor, unconscious. Liam gasped. "What spell was that?"

"Honestly, Liam, I've learned from my mistake. I just erased his memory, or, well, some of it... hopefully," Amber replied. Liam raised an eyebrow at Amber, and she went silent. For a few heartbeats, they stared at eachother, then Amber turned to Clover. "Clover!" She waved to her dragon and she flew over to us. I placed Edward carefully on her wings and Amber pointed to the hospital wing. Clover nodded and flew off. Amber turned to me and smiled, saying, "On with the war. You still have your dragon" She pointed out. "Ugh, fine." I sighed and whistled for Alaska. She came down majestically and I leapt on. I held out my hand to Amber and I pulled her on. Alaska opened her wings and flew into the sky again. Amber looked down and saw that our team was winning. "Hey, uh, Lola?" She suddenly asked. "Yes?" I replied. "How come we haven't finished? You killed Delphi." Amber continued. "It's a battle to the death. We don't finish until everyone's dead" I answered, "Oh" She sighed.

"Well let's help. Cause I want this war to be over." She finished. Me too. Very much. I nodded and we flew on around the enemies. Soon enough, there was only a small group of Dementors left. Clover came back and fired some of them until there were only two left. I patted Alaska, indicating for her to fire. "Lola," Amber warned. I looked back at her, confused. She pointed at Newt. I stopped, grabbing hold of Alaska's wings. Not Newt! I'm glad Amber warned me."Oh," I sighed. Newt opened his suitcase for the dementors, then stepped back. Something was glowing inside the suitcase, and the dementors flew inside, trying to get to the glowing thing. He shut it and looked around. There was no one else standing except for a bit of our team. We had won. We had finally won. The last battle of Hogwarts was finally over.
