I have to find him. There has to be another way. It's suicide to go the forest but he'd do it anyway if it meant that everyone would be safe. I run towards to great hall I have to stop him. I can't lose my brother. As I run towards the hall I notice the multiple bodies that line the halls friend and foe. I try not to look I need to find Harry before he does something reckless. I finally make it to the Great Hall but I wish I hadn't there, at the other end of the hall was a group of red heads all standing around a fallen friend. Their shoulders shaking and tears flow. My heart not wanting to know but my feet move anyway. I see Mr Weasley, Ginny, Percy, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Mrs Weasley is kneeling on the ground beside the body, and George, but I don't see Ron or Fred. As I draw nearer I think I might be sick but I swallow the nausea and find out who they are all surrounding. I stop a few feet away unable to go any further. I can't lose anyone else. Someone grabs my hand and I look up at who took it. Relieved Fred was ok I drew him into a hug. And let out the breath I never knew I was holding.
"Thank Merlin you're ok." I whispered in his ear.
"Hey, I'm offended it takes more than a few death eater's to finish me off." Fred spoke.
"Fred, who is that?" I pointed over at his family and he had a pained look on his face. He pulled me over to the rest of his family who all turned as we approached. They held the same expression as Fred.
"I'm so sorry Ari." I willed myself to look down at the floor. I fell to my knees as I saw that it was my father's best friend and his wife. Remus and Tonks. They just had a baby last month. I reached for his hand and took it in mine. I can't lose him. I cried into his chest. Harry appeared and saw the sight and brought me into his arms.
"You can't go. I can't lose you too. I just can't. There has to be another way Harry. I need you." he rubbed my back.
"Come with me, I need to do something." I followed him out the hall, holding his hand that guided me through the chaos that was Hogwarts.
We stopped at the headmaster's office door and Harry led us in. He pulled out a pensive and poured in a memory and asked me to look at it with him.
It shocked me. That was an understatement. Harry was a horcrux. Dumbledore said he had to die. I was going to lose my brother. I turned to him. Clearly this was news to him as well. We sat there on the steps in the office in each other's embrace. I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye. I always thought that Harry would be able to have a normal life after Voldemort was dead. Obviously, that was a fairytale and we are living in harsh reality. That gets more brutal by the minute. All the connections to my parents will be dead. Sirius, Remus, Pettigrew, Snape, Dumbledore and Harry.
I thought Dumbledore was helping us. Helping us survive but in the end he raised Harry for the slaughter like Snape said. Harry was like a puppet on a string with Dumbledore guiding Harry's every step to his premature death. My logical side was saying that it was for the greater good that it had to happen. Harry had to die to save us all and that was too much to bare. But if he didn't Voldemort would never die. Harry would do the noble thing. He always does. It pointless to convince him otherwise. So instead I just held him and he held me. I did not want the last moments we spend together fighting and he knew that to. I spied the clock and the hour was almost up and I held onto him tighter. We stood and walked out the office and headed down the stairs.
"I love you more than anything. I never said it enough so..." I wiped my eyes.
"I know Ari; I love you too. Listen after, you need to kill the snake and then it's just him. You can do this ok. Look after Lily ok, spoil her for me and give her a kiss. Be with Draco. Let him look out for you. But if he hurts you I will come back from the dead and whip his arse."
"I'll be ok Harry. It will be hard but eventually I'll manage. Tell mum and dad I love them ok." I pulled him into a bone crushing hug before he pulled the invisibility cloak over himself and disappeared from my sight.
Someone sat down next to me. I saw the platinum blonde hair and he pulled me into a hug. He stroked my hair as I cried.
"He went to the forest. He had no choice. He's a horcrux Draco. Voldemort has to kill him." I whimpered.
"Sshhh... it will be ok. Light always wins." Draco stroked my back trying to comfort me but it wasn't really doing anything.
Ron and Hermione found us.
"Ari, have you seen Harry? We can't find him. We looked everywhere." Hermione gushed.
"He went to the forest." I said no emotion in my voice.
"What! Why'd he go do that! He is too fucking noble!" Ron cursed.
"He had to he was one of them. He had no choice."
"I didn't want to believe it." Hermione had tears falling clinging to Ron for support. "Did he say anything before he left, a plan?" Hermione asked.
