Smoke. That's all I could smell when I woke up. I was still in the Gryffindor Common Room along with the Marauders and Lily. I guess we fell asleep without noticing, but who cares about that right now I was still curious as to why the smell of smoke was in the air. I got up from my spot on the long couch and walked towards the door. Once I opened the door it was chaos, one side of the castle was set ablaze and there were people in black hooded cloaks and masks running around the castle casting curses upon students and professors. I stood there shocked and noticed one of the cloaked figures creep towards me in the corner of my eye and quickly closed the door and ran towards the small group on the couch.
"Umm guys get up! Death Eaters are here destroying everything!" I yelled panicked with hot tears streaming down my face out of fear. Everyone got up frantically and looked at the damage that was just starting. The war was only beginning and to say I was scared was an understatement. Soon enough the Gryffindor students that still remained came down from their rooms and watched in shock as their school got destroyed.
"Ok everyone...this is what we've been practising for..try to survive," that was Sirius' way of a pep talk and it didn't work, but everyone exited the Common Room and walked out to the smoke filled halls of Hogwarts. I was making my way outside because the majority of the students seemed to be making their way out there most likely to keep anyone else from entering the ancient school. As I made my way out I yelled many spells trying not to let any of the thrown out curses hit me. Once I was finally outside I noticed many students lying along the singed grass with blood smeared upon their faces. I looked away from the unpleasant sight and shouted spells at the cloaked figures in front of me.
"Avada Kedavra," I heard a voice shout out, but before I could react I was hit and fell towards the soot filled ground.
