I'm in love with Lucy Snape, but I'm a Weasley!

~Chapter twenty five: It begins~

~[I know that where I am placing the characters around the castle isn't necessarily where there were stationed in the book or movies but I thought i'd twist things up a bit]~  

"So where am I going to be positioned, Kingsley?" I asked. 

Me, Kingsley and Remus were up on the astronomy tower, looking out to the open night sky which looked beautiful with the stars scattered all over it, deciding where all the Order members would be stationed ready to kick some death eater butt. 

"Miss Snape I think it would be best if you stay here with Remus, I shall go and grab George Weasley to help you two out, we could do with a few more wands this side. The death eaters will probably think as this is an open space they can get in without a fight but we'll prove them wrong" Kingsley stated 

"But Kingsley!" I squeaked as he was just about to run off, "I'm not a good fighter! About the only thing I'm good at is blocking spells!" I was panicking now and plus me shaking uncontrollably didn't help

"Well here's your advantage as you are smaller and very skinny, no offence, the death eaters will think your weak so attack you and ignore Remus and George. When they attack you, you can block the spells and George and Remus can attack from behind"

"Oh er OK" I said as Kingsley dashed down the stairs to grab George, I stared at Remus worriedly. I wouldn't have lots of protection like I do normally. 

"Are you alright, Lucy?" Remus asked sympathetically  

"Not really, I'm petrified!" My voice came out really high, I didn't mean it to though. 

"I can totally understand where you are coming from, your dad's gone and Fred isn't with you. I bet your wondering where both of them are and if they're OK, but don't worry" Remus put an arm around me, "it'll be OK, we'll get through this" 

"Thanks Remus" I forced a smile 

"Your welcome. You know Lucy, your nothing like your father people may tell you so but your not. You may look like him but you have your own personality. You have been branded all your life and it's time someone told you the truth" 

"You think so?" 

"I know so, now before we fight I want you to grow your doe ears back, give yourself a bit of disguise" 

I obeyed Remus' command and grew my doe ears so now I was half doe half human. Suddenly all the sound around me was much louder, wow this could be advantage, I could hear every move even some movement from downstairs. 

"I can hear more!" I grinned 

"Now you can warn us when enemies are drawing nearer"

"Oh! I have something else too!" I rummaged in my bag until I pulled out the sneakascope, "this sneakascope!" 

"That should prove useful! Leave it out, we'll be needing all the warnings we can get"

I handed Remus the sneakascope just as George hopped up the stairs, carrying his wand and grasping it tightly, it was as though he was trying to show he was stronger.

"Hey Snape, hey Remus" George waved standing next to me so that now I was in the middle, "your just in time for the nights events" 

Me and Remus gave George a quizzical look. 

"Look out there, McGonagall, mum, Slughorn and Flitwick are putting up some sort of barrier"

We all looked out into the night sky and sure enough a barrier was being put up, it was a sort of light filled material substance and it joined together making some sort of half sphere to protect the castle for when Voldemort arrived.
