Born Into Darkness

Deathly Hallows Pt 2

"They are suppose to be out of bed you blithering idiot." Mr.Filch examinded the room, seeing all of Hogwarts students staring at him, bewildered. "Oh." Professor McGonagall walked toward Pansy. "I would like you to escort, Ms. Parkinson, along with the rest of Slytherin house from the hall." I huffed, glancing between Draco and Blaise who were ready to pull out their wands. I wave for them to stay still and follow her orders. "And where excatly would I be escorting them to?" Filch questions the old woman, and wait for her answer before thinking of a plan. "To the dungeons." The other three houses cheered as the slytherin students sneered. I pull Pansy and Daphne next to me as the entire house starts to walk. "What are we going to do?" Daphne gestured towards where the other three houses were rushing out of the main hall. "We'll scatter in with the other houses and stay and watch how this plays from within."

As we all break off, I feel someone tug on left hand, pulling me with them. It's Draco dragging me into a group of Hufflepuff storming down the stairwell. "We stay together. I promised to protect you." I roll my eyes, thinking, I can protect myself, yet still allow him to pull me closer as we make our way to the end of the steps. We continue on our path, outside to the courtyard, following Professor McGonagall in the crowd. We all seperate around the courtyard as McGonagall summons the cement soldiers. "Hogwarts is threatened. Man the boundaries! Protect us! Your duties to our school!" I watch in awe as they soldiers take their postions around Hogwarts' grounds. A few meters away, I hear the Professor mumble to Ms.Weasley. "I've always wanted to do that." I hold back a giggle, as Draco nudges me. "Focus."

The forcefield went up, but I felt him. My Father was near and I knew it wasn't going to be too long before the real battle started. It happened in pieces. The white flares from his deatheaters wands went flying enter the air, colliding with the sheild. Each one making small cracks, but even the smallest damage did the biggest harm. I gazed on with my hand tightening around Draco's as the long blast that come from my father, no doubt did the final needed damage to send the forcefield craching down. That's it - the war of Hogwarts had started.

Draco turnt to me. "Together." I nodded, gripping his hand as hard as possible. He looked down, gripping mine back with equal force. We both looked to the dark skies as the deatheaters begun to fly in. Parents, professors and students alike filed into the courtyard and throughout Hogwarts to fight. Dark witches and wizards landed from their apparation and brooms and the spells were called out from both sides. The ground shook as Giants fought on the bridge against the stone soldiers, outside the school.

We took out our wands fighting against anything that attacked us, mostly creatures from spells around us like large spiders and serpents. We blocked any scraying spells they came our way. No deatheater came our way, for they knew who we were. Light wizards and witches were too busy defending themselves, to notice we weren't defending on their side. My eyes wandered around the courtyard, witnessing the fall of those around us. People who failed to watch their backsides were killed from behind. Clumsy people were crushed by Giants and theiroversized axes. Some were stepped on, as the large creatures rampaged through the school boarders.

Draco began to pull me away from the crowd as we dodged anything harmful. We passed battle after dead body until we reached a passage way to the dungeons, or at least what was left of it, then he released my hand. "Meet me back here." I  grab his hand in full panick. "Where are you going?" He let go of my hand again. "To find Potter? We have a score to settle." I went to reach for his hand again, but he apparated away. I spun bach around with my wand out, ready to fight. A troll came my direction, swinging his weapon at anything he saw, including me. "Wingardium Leviosa" His axe went into the air and his attention with it. While he was busy searching for his weapon I took my opening and ran only to crash into the middle of fight against a ravenclaw student and a deatheater, Fenrir Greyback. The spell paused as they both look to wondering what I would do, as if I knew. I glanced nervously between the two. The hufflepuff became unsteady, as she realized I could turn on her. I notice out of the corner of my eye as Fenrir gripped his wand tighter, licking his lips. No doubt, smelling the fear radiating off the poor third year. "Step aside, little master and allow me to dine."

I raised my wand, at him, to his surprise. He gave me a crossed look, as I switched my focus on the third year, who now had her wand on him as well. Clsoing my eyes, and sighning, I allowed my arm to switch directions. "Avada Kedavra" The dead, young girl went flying back to the ground as I opened my eyes, focusing on Fenrir. He lifted his brow in slight surprise of the turn of events, smiling. I shook my head in disgust. "Bastard." Refusing to look at the dead body I  continue on running up the stairs to defending myself when needed.

No one's P.O.V

Draco apparated in the middle of the slytherin chaos and grabbed the hoods of his sidekicks' ropes, dragging them in the opposite direction, to the surprise of Crabbe and Goyle. The three misfits stormed in on Harry Potter, who was admiring the tiaria in his hands. "What brings you here, Potter?" Harry jumps to attention, but not in battle mode. "I could ask you the same." The three slytherins keep their fight stances. "You have something of mine. I'd like it back." Harry relizes what he means, but sees the replacement. "What's wrong with the one you have?" Draco shrugs his shoulders. "It's powerful, but doesn't feel right. Like it doesn't understand me. Know what I mean?" Harry, hoping to turn the tables, questions previous weeks events. "Why didn't you tell her? Bellatrix. You knew it was me, but you didn't say anything." Draco thoughts begin the fumble and he gins to rethink his decision.

Crabbe attempts to pressure Draco into finishing the job. Just when Draco appears to be giving in Ginny and Ron come behind Harry. "Expelliarmus" Ginny  disarms Draco, who pushes through his friends to run away. Goyle sends a killing curse only for it to be blocked by Ginny's " stupefy" . Goye failed attempt to set the golden three trio ablaze fails. The the six of them take off in seperate directions as the fire takes on a life of it's own, setting everything aflame in it's path. Draco and Golye are trapped as Crabbe dies after falling into the flames. Ginny, Ron and Harry find brooms and return back and save the trapped slytherins. After which the broom sends Harry and Draco falling to the ground, and Draco wastes no time running away wandless.
