What the Room Requires

Chapter Twenty-Four

Thank you, as always, from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement is priceless to me. Yes, the following chapter incorporates a slight change—a bit of this chapter is from HARRY’S point of view. And you will note that I have used the text from “Deathly Hallows,” by JK Rowling, to lead into the rest of it, with a few changes. During this chapter, I listened to “Lament for Gandalf,” and “Gandalf’s Fall.” Enjoy!

Out of doubt,

Out of dark

To the day's rising
I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:
Now for wrath,

Now for ruin

And a red nightfall!

 

-Lord of the Rings

            I strode through the shadows, my hooded black cloak whispering around me and behind my feet. I swept like a wraith around the edges of the battle. The air burned with the scent of ozone, ashes and blood. Screams, roars and shouted spells echoed back and forth, far away and near.
