Battle of the Ages

Chapter Two: Hallelujah

Harry opens the door and motions us in.

"You okay, Jas?" Harry asks.

"Yeah," I lie. "Never better."

We go and join the others in the kitchen. Everyone greets each other as though it is just a family dinner. I lean on the wall as Hermione yanks some hair out of Harry's head.

"That bloody hurts, Hermione," he snaps. She drops the black strands in the vial that Mad-eye Moody is holding. George kisses the top of my head before lining up with six other people.

"All those that have never drank Polyjuice," Moody states. "Fair warning. Tastes like goblin piss."

He hands it to the first person in the line and it keeps going down the line. I watch each of them turn into Harry. It is beyond weird to see my husband look like my friend.

"Y'all need to change," I state, looking at them all. "It is obvious if Harry is not... Harry. If you get what I'm saying."

"Already thought of that," Hagrid replies, pouring out clothes on the ground. All seven Harry's start changing to match. The entire time, Moody is going over the game plan. We all walk out side, where my broom appears. I mount it and ride next to Tonks. The wind gently blows around me and I know I should feel alright, but something is off. I look around and spot a couple Death Eaters near a black cloud. More and more start flying towards us.

"We're under attack," I call to the others. They look in the direction I'm looking at.

"Nice eyesight," Tonks laughs. "Now let's make sure my crazy aunt isn't here, shall we?"

The two of us fly towards the bunch of masked men. I blast curses at everyone that tries to attack me or someone in my group. I blast off one of the Death Eater's mask just to see it's Snape. He flies away as another tries to hex me. I fly out of the way in time to avoid the spell.

"Plan b?" I shout towards Lupin. The group of us set up several ideas in case something like this were to happen.

"Best idea," he calls back to me. I pull my Egyptian wand from Duat and toss it. The curved ivory flies around, knocking out several people before it returns to my hand. I never thought I would be glad that Carter taught all of us that. The rest get ahead of me. After my seventeenth birthday, I have been trying to learn magic for both types of wands. Found out the Egyptian wand makes the other magic spells stronger with practice. I start focusing all my energy to my magic.

"Lumos maxima," I cast, avoiding looking at the light. Once the enemies are blinded, we fly off to the Burrow. The moment my feet hit the ground, I head inside the recently rebuilt home of the Weasleys. Bill stops me at the door.

"What is going on?" I ask him. His eyes tell me that something happened to someone I care about. I push the ginger to the side to see George laying on his side on the couch. His ear blown off and the side of his head is a bloody mess. I quickly go to my knees next to Fred, pushing George's hair out of his eyes. Tears start running down my cheeks.

"How are you feeling, Georgy?" Fred asks him.

"Saint like," he mutters.

"What?"

"Saint like. I'm holy, Fred."

I chuckle softly, replying, "Of all the earless humor, you go with 'I'm holy'."

George smiles and wipes away some of my tears. I give him a watery smile as he falls asleep.
