The Silver Snakes

Chapter 36 - The final Battle and the Reveal.

As the dark had expected it was the light side, Albus Dumbledore who threw the first spell to the dark, only when this spell was fired did the dark take action. They wanted the media to know the real Albus Dumbledore before he was killed so they had Rita Skeeter join them, she was cloaked and no one could detect her but she could see everything that was going on in the battle.

Rita had been shocked when she was contacted by the Dark Lord to come and witness the battle, but when he told her that the truth was going to come out she knew that she had to come. While she was wary of the Dark Lord she did meet him and he placed her under a cloak so no one would be able to know she was there. Her first shock had been when it was Dumbledore who fired the first attack, she imagined it would be Voldemort, but once again this painted Albus in a whole new light. Another thing shocked was the fact that Dumbledore seemed to targeting more towards the children on the dark side with harmful spells, while Voldemort was stunning the children and only using harmful spells on the adults.

Even though she wrote the columns she still believed in Albus Dumbledore, now she was not so sure.

Albus was shocked to see how strong those who followed Voldemort were, he knew that each one had been trained very well. He was firing at the boy who introduced himself as the Dark Prince's mate, he thought that if he killed this boy then the other would join him.

What Dumbledore did not know was that Draco was leading the old man right into a trap, and right outside to where the rest of their forces waited.

Half an hour into the battle and the dark had Albus Dumbledore, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Minerva McGonagall and a few others into a group outside, all of the other light and dark around them.

"Tom you can't win, light always prevails over dark." Dumbledore said.

"Really? Where is your precious Boy-Who-Lived? He is the only one that can kill me and yet he is not with you." Voldemort said smirking, Harry and Draco joining in.

"He is here don't worry about that, he is just in battle with more of your followers and you have not seen him." Hermione said, though she didn't look sure.

"Are you sure Mud-Blood, you don't sound it?" Harry asked. His voice was still deeper than normal, he didn't want them to figure out who he was.

"How dare you call her that!" Ron said, coming to stand behind the bushy haired girl. Looking at them now, Harry wondered how he had dealt with them for so long.

"Because it is what she is. Did you like the new plan for Muggle-born students Albus, all thanks to Lucius." Severus asked. All of them, except Lucius and Voldemort were wearing masks, they wanted the light to fear them before revealing themselves.

"No I do not, it is wrong. All those with Magic should be allowed into the magic school." Dumbledore said, he was the headmaster here and he was the one who decided who went to his school.

Harry sensing his thoughts decided to break the first piece of shocking news. "Actually old man, the school does not answer to you. I am the heir of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Merlin Emrys. My father her is, as you know, the heir of Salazar Slytherin, this school belongs to us." Harry said, and he said it loud enough to go through the whole battlefield.

Rita was writing all of this down as she heard it, and couldn't believe her ears. Would there be more surprises to come?

"Then why has it not rejected me then?" Dumbledore asked.

"Easy, because it knew we were coming and it knew we had a plan. How do you think word got to the students in your school to let us?" Severus said.
