The Last Battle

Chapter 24

I'm feeling nice because it's my birthday on Monday so I updated early :D :D :D

"It led us straight to Stonehenge, you were right Maia." Harry said, wrapping an arm around Ginny's waist. Those two were so cute.

"So how are we going to stop her?" Ginny questioned, looking up at him.

"Any suggestions?" Harry asked around the room. Ron, Hermione and I shrugged. 

"A sneak attack could be easy. We'll surround her and dispose of Voldemort, probably burn his body, and then confine her and take her to the Ministry." George suggested.

"And you're sure that the procedure can only be done on a full moon?" Hermione asked me. 

I nodded.

"Tomorrow night then, we could have two people on lookout and send a message, via the DA coin, when she arrives?" Ron suggested.

"We'll get your magic back in no time." George whispered in my ear.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Harry and Ginny could watch out first?" Hermione volunteered the pair. Ginny and Harry blushed a bright red.

"Ok." They both agreed.

 "How about you and I second 'Mione?" Ron suggested his ears turning pink at the tip. Hermione nodded hurriedly and her cheeks had a red tinge to them.

"And then that leaves you and Maia." Harry concluded.

"No. I'm not letting Maia go out undefended." George cut in.

"I'll be fine George, I'll get my magic as soon as we attack her, if she arrives on our watch." I bit my lip, if Voldemort doesn't get the magic first.

"I don't want you getting hurt, that's all." George whispered.

"I know what I'm doing, George." I think.

"It's all sorted then. We'll rotate through out the night." Hermione passed around the DA coins.

~~~

"No doubt she'll come while we're on watch." I laughed to George.

"It'll be just our luck." 

"How are you George?" 

"Sorry?" He frowned and looked away, he knew what I was talking about.

I reached my hand up and lifted his chin so he could look at me. "You don't have to do this alone." 

George took deep breaths. "He's gone. That's all I can think about." He shuddered. 

I nodded and pulled him in for a hug.

"It hurts so much." He cried into my shoulder.

"I know." I stroked his back as he soaked my shoulders.

"I don't know if I can open the joke shop again, there are too many memories, all I will see is him." 

"Are you kidding, George? Of couse you have to reopen it! He would have wanted that most." 

George chuckled and wiped his eyes. "I can just imagine what he would say if I didn't." 

"See? Maybe reopening it will help you." 

He nodded. "Thank you Maia. I love you." 

"I lov-" Crack.

"She's here." George hissed, pulling me behind one of the large stones.
