SCARLET'S POV
We walked back to the castle, and saw that a lot of it had been blown away. People were still casting spells at each other and there were even more bodies on the floor.
"What are we going to do with the tears?" I asked; I looked over as I said this and saw a death eater devouring Lavender Brown's body.
"No!" I yelled; casting a stunning spell towards him as he fell to the floor. Tears swelled up in my eyes when I saw the state Lavender was in. Her face was pale and she had the look of horror on her face; meaning that she was in pain before the death eater killed her. Her eyes were still opened so I closed them for her and went on along with the others. We ran past the Great Hall and saw that it had turned into the infirmary. So many bodies (a lot of which I knew) were either lying dead or in extreme pain. Screams were heard but I couldn't tell if they were from inside or out. We made it to a door that led us to Dumbledore's office.
"What are we doing in here?" I asked; looking around I realized that everything was left the way it was before Dumbledore passed. His Phoenix was still in its cage (though I'm not sure how it's still alive), His desk was still messy with papers spread out, and you could still see paintings of himself on his wall moving around and taking cover for every blow that the castle took.
In the corner of the room stood a large bowl that had transparent goo in it; it shined as we got closer to it; my necklace began to shine a bright blue, but nothing happened to me. I gripped it in my hands while looking at the bowl.
"I don't know what that is but it's setting off my necklace" Harry looked towards me while taking out the vile.
"This is supposed to show you your past; so why not show Snape's past with his tears?" Harry gently poured the tears in the bowl and it lit up in front of us; we all looked at each other and plunged our heads in.
October 12th, 1954
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Alexis I landed on the grass beside a large tree; it was bright and the sun was shining. You could see the castle in the distance; no damage done. Footsteps were heard and we turned around; a boy with long black hair and pale skin walked past us with a potions book in his hands. He seemed to be in the same year as us and looked very familiar.
"Oh my god I think that's Snape" Harry stated; pointing towards the boy. We all nodded in agreement as we heard loud laughter coming from the opposite direction. Soon, four boys emerged from the hill.
One (who was obviously the leader) had round glasses with brown hair, he looked like Harry's father. I looked towards Harry and saw that he thought the same. Another was beside him, with Black wavy hair and hazel eyes that sparked with amusement; that was Sirius...my father. Beside him was a man with light brown hair and had scars on his face; Remus Lupin. And lastly was a short stubby man with brown hair and a rattish face; Peter Pettigrew. We watched as they turned their heads and saw Snape; smirking they went up to him.
"Look who it is! Severus Snape" Harry's dad barked as him and his friends laughed along; ganging up on Snape all at once.
"Leave me alone Potter" Snape replies; Harry's dad shook his head
"No can do Snape but we can do something else" suddenly Harry's dad casted a spell that made Snape rise up in the air and turned upside down. Snape screamed while jerking aound; tryig to find a way out. Meanwhile the guys were laughing and lifted him higher in the air as people surrounded them; cheering Harry's father on.
"James! James! James!" was chanted throughout the crowd while I covered my mouth and looked towards the group; only to see their jaws dropped in surprise...except Harry's

"I've seen this before, when Snape was teaching me Occlumency" Harry whispered; still watching the scene.
"What's wrong Snape? Upset that you don't have Lily to come and save you?" everyone laughed as Snape continued to fling himself in the air; making people laugh even more.
The scene changed and we ended up in front of a little house. It was dark out and clouds were black and grey.
"Where are we?" I whispered
"My home" Harry replied; we walked towards it; opening the door only to realize that it had been broken into. We all looked at each other before opening it all the way. It thundered behind us; causing me to jump a little. We looked around and saw that the house was trashed. A body was on the ground in the living room; looking closely we see Harry's dad. I covered my mouth and looked at Harry only to see him staring blankly at his father. I walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder,
"Harry; let's go somewhere else" he didn't reply but let me move him towards the stairs. Ron and Hermione clung to each other with their wands lit; Alexis' and I holding hands for comfort. We reached the top and looked down the hall. At the very end there was a door and it was lit with an orange light. Opening the door we heard quiet sobs; in the middle of the room there was Snape holding onto the dead body of Harry's mother. Behind him was a crib that had a baby in it; it was Harry. He was crying; but Snape ignored him; still holding onto Lily.
It broke my heart to see this; so I turned around and hugged Harry as he gripped me in his arms; silently crying in my shoulder. I felt something pull me back as I screamed; I was being lifted in the air. Soon, everyone else was in the air as well; then we were flung out of the bowl of blue goo and landed on the floor.
We all looked at each other; we couldn't say anything. We didn't know what to say. A scream was heard downstairs as a voice talked to us in our heads.
"You have all fought strongly but in vein. Bring me Harry Potter and the war will end. Bring me Harry Potter and you will all be rewarded. You have one hour" then the voice disappeared. Harry slowly got up and began to walk out of the office
"Harry what are you doing?" Hermione asked
"Where does it look like? This needs to stop" our eyes widened as we watched him walk out; it took us a moment before our legs began to work and we ran out looking for him. He was walking down the stairs when we caught up to him
"Harry you can't do this, we can all fight him. We can beat this" Ron stated
"Don't you get it? He wants me! If he doesn't then you will all be killed"
"It's a trap Harry and you know it, do you really think that he'll stop the army and let us go on our way?" I yelled
"You don't understand-"
"Don't understand what? That you always need to do what's right because you're The Chosen One? Get a grip Harry you're going to die for noting!" Alexis relied; Harry sighed and stepped away from us; my eyes narrowing at him.
"I have to do this" He whispered; I sighed in defeat. Dropping my arms to the side.
"Fine get killed; see if I care" I then walked around him and walked the other way down the hall towards the infirmary.
Opening the door I see that there were a lot of people being treated; and others that were lying still; having a blanket pulled over their body. At the end I saw a group of redheads crowding around a body. I ran over and shoved my way through as I saw Fred Weasley; Dead.
"What happened?" George looked up; tears in his eyes.
"A boulder fell on him; it was awful" he whispered;
"You know even though he was a git he didn't deserve to die" I whispered; a gasp was heard behind me as I turned and saw Alexis running over and dropping beside George; a frown on her face as tears sprung from her eyes.
"What's going on?" We heard from behind; we turned around and saw Ron staring at Fred's body; tears already building. He dropped to the floor and gripped onto his hand; that was already cold and lifeless. We all stood there; sobbing over his body when I noticed a couple off to the side. I walked over and gasped; Tonks and Lupin were dead; holding hands while they both had ghost smiles on their faces. Tears fell when someone held me from behind.
"I was going to tell you but I guess you found them already" a voice whispered in my ear; I looked up and saw Seamus. I hugged him; gripping onto his tattered shirt while I breathed in his scent. Even though we just fought he still smelt good. I slowly let go and looked behind him; seeing my father walking over with a frown on his face.

"Dad" I whispered; running over to him and tackling him in a hug. I felt him shake as he cried while holding me.

"I thought I had lost you" He whispered; I cried with him.

"I was so scared daddy" I whispered; he hugged me tighter before letting go. His eyes then set on Tonks and Remus.

"I didn't know until I came" I whispered; walking over with him so we could both see them. Looking closely I saw that they were both holding hands; a soft smile on their faces.

"I miss them already" I whispered; clutching onto my dad's hand. He sighed while ruffling my hair with his free hand.

"So do I Midnight" That's when I realized that he had just lost his last friend. Remus was one of his best friends along with James and now they're both gone. I stared grimly up at my dad as I watched tears fall from his eyes. I quickly wrapped my arms around him as I gripped him in a hug. But it didn't last long.

An explosion was heard from outside; we all looked up and ran outside. In front of the castle stood Voldemort himself with death eaters by his side. In front of them stood Hagrid with sorrow in his eyes. He was holding someone in his arms; I looked closer and gasped.
"Harry Potter is dead!"
It was Harry's body; he has fallen.
