HP Hogwarts (AU) - Fight As One

Chapter 22

Chapter 22- Fight As One

They rush inside the Great Hall. When they come in. There are many students hovering to have their wounds tended. Some covers the bodies of the deceased people. The room is now much more sad than before. The group sits in the corner, trying to rest for a bit. The rest are too tired to respond. At this situation, no one can sleep. Since the time Severus Snape escaped, that was the last time everyone has seen him.
  "We still have hope.. I hope Harry is going to end this battle.." Seven starts up.
  "Let's keep believing.." Light sighs.
  "Yeah.." Keshie agrees.
Nadja sits while resting her head , reclining on the wall.
  "How did you learn Avada Kedavra?" Seven ask curiously.
  "Well, Charms Class this year supposedly teaches us but since this mess happened, it did not happen so I went on my own to learn it instead.." Nadja explains.
  "And where did you get it?" Seven answers.
   "Restricted section in the library.. I actually snuck in there one time to find a book about it.. obviously, I had to be careful..," Nadja explains further.
   "I see.. you know, I realized overtime, whether you're a Slytherin or a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw or a Gryffindor... we have to fight as one because we all fight for Hogwarts! It is not the house you belong in only but for everyone as well.." Seven smiles bitterly.
  "You're right, I'm glad you said that.. I remember how you used growl at the thought of being in Slytherin House but then things worked out fine in the end right?" Nadja smiles reassuringly. A voice of Voldemort echoes through, saying that Harry must be handed to him or else anyone who try to stop Harry from coming to Voldemort shall perish.
Across the room, new people are brought in to be mended or to check upon. Molly Weasley and her family suddenly gather at a new person being rested on the floor. They suddenly weep, hugging one another. Seven and her friends goes closer to check who it is. With a sudden surprise, one of the Weasley twins now lie on the floor, motionless. Seven and her friends then sob silently while walking away because of the sad sight. They stand against the wall. Sometime later, Harry barge in the Great Hall door with Hermione and Ron. Everyone looks at them. He looks at the body as well. Ron dashes to his brother, crying. Harry looks with sadness. He also finds Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, lying right beside each other. Harry continues to run somewhere. The group then goes out to fight outside. There are few trolls flocking around in the front of the school. The group disassembles around the front of the school, knocking down the floor.
   "We must fight as one for Hogwarts!" Ian screams.
The group raise their wands. They spot Hermione and Ron running across the Great Hall, hurrying. They look like they have an urgent thing to do. The group gathers by the front door. They see Harry dashing through the corridor and going somewhere far.
  "I'm still sad about what happened to the Weasley twin.." Seven comments.
  "It must been hard for the Weasleys right now.." Ian comments back.
  "Indeed.." Seven replies.
  "Let's pay our respects later when this is over.." Nadja advices.
   "We should.." Light agrees.
    "Yeah.." Keshie agrees as well.
Few hours have passed and it is now the break of dawn. They all gather inside the Great Hall, resting. However, when the misty morning envelopes Hogwarts. Eveyryone notices a line of people walking at the Hogwarts bridge entrance.  Students and people start to flock the entrance door. Hagrid carries Harry Potter who is unconscious around his arms. Voldemort proclaims Harry is dead. Ginny screams at Voldemort in denial. He silences her. The look of everyone in the the crowd is grief or as if the glimmer of hope is gone. Voldemort grins in happiness, asking everyone to join sides with him. Draco Malfoy walks his way to Voldemort. Voldemort then takes him with open arms, awkwardly. Draco joins his parents at the Death Eater side. Neville limps his way forward. He then makes a speech of how Harry is not gone and everyone else who everyone loses from the battle. They will always remain in everyone's hearts. Voldemort snickers at the thought. The group watches in the crowd, frowning. However, Harry drops from Hagrid's arms, running across. Everyone runs inside. Another fight begins. What happens to Voldemort and Harry are the fight between them, finishing their rivalry. The group stays inside, fighting the rest of the Death Eaters that try to attack them. Molly defeats Bellatrix Lestrange from anger seeping through her because of what Bellatrix tells her. Bellatrix mocks Molly's emotions, causing her to give in all she has within her. However, in the end, Hogwarts claims victory. Harry defeats Voldemort. The rest of the Death Eaters such as the Malfoys escapes. After the battle, everyone starts cleaning the mess. Everyone pays respect to people who have lost love ones. The group hugs in happiness from the victory. Staffs, family, friends, schoolmates and all houses gather to fight as one for Hogwarts and the wizarding world. The group starts shaking hands, thanking each other for the hard work.

  "So that's what happened?" A small voice talks, "I want to be strong and be like you."
  "In time, you will discover so, dear," Seven smiles.
  "I want to be as strong as you and do everything for Hogwarts and everyone," the small voice replies.
   "Yes dear, Emma, you will.." Seven reassures.
   "I tell you, your mother was adorable when I met her there.." Ian chuckles.
   "Dad, do you think I'd be in Slytherin when I study there?" Emma replies.
   "Well.. it does not matter.. whether you would be in any of the houses.. what is important is what you are.. Slytherin has many hardworking people too.. did you know? A Slytherin Professor used to teach in Hogwarts.. he did everything he can to protect the school and for the defeat of Voldemort... there is also a golden trio who is in Hogwarts who are in Gryffindor! Harry Potter and his friends.. did a lot for the Wizarding World as well, child.. whether you're a Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, it does not matter.. everyone from different houses fought as one for the wizarding world.." Seven explains as she pets Emma's hair.
The little girl who is sitting on the floor, listening to Seven and Ian who is sitting on a chair looks with amusement, eyes glimmering.
  "Now, call your twin brother, Nicholas, I have something for both of you.." Ian interrupts.
Emma then runs across the living room, screaming Nicholas's name. A few moments later, they both arrive. Standing next to each other, Emma has the feature of her mother but with her father's eyes while her brother has the features of her father's but with his mother's eyes. Ian then shows two Hogwarts letter. The two children looks at each other with joy. Months have passed, the family runs together into the platform. Ian and Seven looks around the crowd. They see Light and Keshie.
  "Oh hey Keshie! Light! It's been a long time.." Seven waves.
  "Oh look, it's you two! Look here, I'm still charming, am I?" Ian teases.
  "No," Keshie answers sarcastically.
Light laughs as a response. There are three children peaking behind them.
  "Oh your guys' children! Oh yeah, Light, you married right after we finished Hogwarts.. while you Keshie, found someone a few years after," Seven explains.
"Nadja, by the way, will send us an owl.. also, she's now an auror, currently, she is going to Ilvermorny and the ministry there as well.. she left me her daughter in my care for now.." Keshie mentions, "Anastasia, say hi."
A small girl then peaks behind Keshie. A small girl with brown curly hair, waves at Seven and Ian. The couple smiles and waves backX
The children then waves at Emma and Nicholas then runs inside the train. Their parents waves back at them. Right across from the crowd stands Hermione and Ron with Harry and Ginny by their side as well. Draco seem to be there as well. All parents and families look at the train as it goes.
Sometime later, Light, Keshie, Ian and Seven receives a letter from Nadja. They open to read it. The letter asks about how they are and how she sends them her regards. When the rest goes home, leaving Ian and Seven, they look at the window. Seven smiles.
  "I just remembered how I used to look at the window in the Slytherin Dormitory, I sighed on how I was in Slytherin but then, I just smile at the thought now.." Seven turns to Ian.
  "Yeah, I remember those times," Ian smiles back.
Seven tests her head on Ian's shoulder.
  "I'm glad I was sorted in the house where I was sorted.." Seven chuckles slightly.
  "So do I.." Ian looks at Seven lovingly.
They both look at each other in the eye with a big smile on their face.

End.
