The Sad Truth

Rounding Them Up

I followed McGonagall and Neville to the front of the castle and they were talking about blowing something off. Neville and Finnigan ran off to the bridge, "piertotum Locomotor" she chanted and these stone soldiers started to appear and march to the front "Hogwarts is threatened protect our school do your duty" she tells the soldiers.

I ran up to her "Professor!" She looks back at me and quirks an eyebrow "I made a potion that could help, it's a barrier, when the protective shields aren't working we can use it as back up" I say looking at her "it'll by Harry another hour or so"

"How do I know it works?" She questioned

"It does work, I've seen it with my own two eyes" says Mrs. Weasley

McGonagall sighs "alright Ms. Evans, when the spell cant last anymore we will use your potion" I gleamed happily and ran inside to collect it.

I ran into the room of requirements and bottled all of the potion until the cauldron was empty. I saw Fred and George "guys, I need your help" I tell them. "Go to every member of the order and DA hand them a vial, tell them to throw it to the ground when they see the first wall go up and remind them not to touch it" I said handing them five each. "You guys okay?"

"Yeah" they said unison.

I hugged them "me too" I say summoning my broom and speeding to where Neville was. I looked up and saw that the barrier was cracking and sped off, when I got there he was yelling at the bad guys. "Nev, here" I tossed him the vial "when you you see my wall throw it" he nodded and I flew back to the front. "Professor it'll work" I say standing in front of the soldiers. I look up and see a hole in the protective barrier, kissing the vial I whispered "we're fucked if you don't work" I threw it to the ground and saw the barrier the same height as the school. Looking around I see more barriers shoot up and connect to one another "IT WORKED!" I exclaimed as I heard a round of cheers.

"Everyone prepare for battle, more time has been bought go!" She yelled as everyone scattered, I looked down and she mumbled a thank you. I nodded and flew around the barrier and saw that on the other side there were death eaters paralyzed on the floor. I smiled at that and went to find Harry.

"Harry" I said flying close to him, I got off the broom "we bought you an hour or so, I'm here as back up"

He patted my head "thanks for the save" I pushed him away from me chuckling. A door appeared in front of us and we entered. I followed his lead looking for the crown, he had his hands on an old looking box, he opened it and there was the tiara.

"Well, Well What brings the two of you here?" He says pointing his wand at us.

I took out my wand "I could ask you the same" I said getting in front of Harry.

"You have something and I'd like it back" he says talking to Harry "the wand, my mothers doesn't quite understand me, know what I mean?" He says glaring at him

Harry stepped in front of me "Why didn't you tell Bellatrix it was me, you knew it was me" he says. Draco looked lost, confused, not knowing what to do until Crabbe whispered something in his ear.

Just then Hermione disarmed Draco and we got in a fight. I summoned my fireballs and started throwing them at Crabbe and Blaise. The crown got thrown across the room and I went with him to get it "that's my girlfriend you numpties!" I heard Ron yell. Harry started to hurriedly throw things off the pile to get to the crown faster.

"Got it!" Harry yelled looking at me, we got down and saw Ron running towards us yelling for us to run "what is he running from?" He asked with a nervous laugh

"Fire!" Yells Ron, and we run too trying to avoid the fire. We almost got caught in it but Ron noticed that there were brooms and handed one to each of us.

We started to fly out of the room we pass by Draco and Blaise "I won't leave him" I yell out turning back to get him. I miss the first time and circled back, he jumped on my broom and we sped off "isn't this romantic" I laughed out to him and I heard him chuckle causing me to smile. We made it out the door and we fell on the ground, he stood up and helped me up before running away. I looked at his retreating figure then turned around and saw Harry destroy the crown and Ron kicked it in the fire.

Harry fell back "the snake, it's a horcrux, we need to find it" he says.

"Find where he is so we can kill the snake" says Ron bending on one knee looking at Harry.

He closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. He gasped and looked at us alarmed "I know where he is" he then turns to me with a sad look.

We run out of the castle and see everyone is fighting. I see a shield from one of the stone soldiers and grab it. Grabbing my bag I reach for a vial of the liquid chain and put it on the edges of the shield. The front of the shield had chains on it "guys stay behind me, Hermione I need you flank us, think of a number and say augue while you turn your wrist in a circle" she did as I said and five fireballs started circling around her "they are defensive but mostly used as offense, point your wand anywhere and that's where they'll go" I whispered to her as we ran across the front of the school headed towards the front gates. Hermione started throwing the balls to the spiders while Harry and Ron blasted away death eaters. When we reached to the bridge there were a lot of death eaters coming our way and Harry took out his wand, there was a blue light that burned them, turning around we see Ab and kept running to where the boats are.
