I was too lazy to split this into a few chapters so I came up with this monster. Enjoy.

As one, Gryffindor House marched down the steps to the Great Hall. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Harry slip in next to Ginny, holding her hand. I swear, those two are too adorable and completely made for each other. Focus Laurel, you're going to war!

We stood in sections as Snape stood in front of us all, everyone excluding the Carrows stood at the sides of the room. "Many of you are surely wondering, why I have summoned you at this hour. It's come to my attention, that earlier this evening...Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade." Quiet chatters filled the room, but all DA members remained silent.

"Now," Snape started, quieting everyone, "should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid Mr. Potter, they will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression, further more...Any person found have knowledge of these events...who fails to come forward...will be treated as equally guilty. Another, if anyone in here has any knowledge of Mr. Potter's movements this evening. I invite them to step forward. Now!"

He stood in front of our House and stared me down. A lump formed in my throat as I stared back coolly. A figure came forward and many people gasped. Naturally, it was Harry. "It seems, despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a security problem, Headmaster." The doors opened and the Order came through including Ron and Hermione. Snape, however, did not look fazed. Bastard.

"I'm afraid it's quite extensive. How dare you stand where he stood? Tell them how it happened that night! Tell them how you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you, and killed him. Tell them!" Harry shouted. As Snape drew his wand, McGonagall stepped forward and drew her own.

All the students fell back, gasping. Snape stared at McGonagall as if he didn't want to duel her. The Order and Harry all had their wands out. I slipped mine out and hugged Eva. McGonagall shot flames after flames at him. The Scorching Spell. Snape backed up and only blocked them.

He whipped his cloak around, letting blows kill the Carrows, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke. McGonagall trained her wand at him until he disappeared through the window. "COWARD!" she screeched. Everyone started to cheer and clap as she put the light back into the room.

Screaming filled the room. I moved from the crowd and tried to locate the sound. Harry appeared next to me, looking down at a Hufflepuff girl in the corner. More screaming occurred but from Padma Patil. I was about to ask what was wrong when his voice filled the room.

"I know that many of you will want to fight. Some of you might even think to fight is wise. But this is folly. Give me Harry Potter. Do this and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave Hogwarts untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded. You have one hour."

The fire lit up the room again and silence swept through us all. "What're you waiting for? Someone grab him!" I looked at Pansy Parkinson, who was a few feet away from us. I advanced on her, reaching to smack her upside the head, but Harry held me back.

Ginny, Luna, Neville, and majority of our friends stood with Harry. Filch ran through the room holding his stupid cat, yelling, "Students out of bed! Students in the corridor!" McGonagall told him, exasperated, "They're supposed to be out of bed, you blithering idiot!"

Color filled the old man's cheeks. "Sorry ma'am." "As it happens, Mr. Filch, your arrival is most opportune. If you would, I would like you please, to lead Miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin House, from the Hall." Filch looked eager. "Exactly where is it I'll be leading 'em to, ma'am?" "The dungeons would do." I slapped a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing. Filch looked even more pleased than me, which is the first time I've ever seen him like this since Umbridge.
