The Final Battle

Sky nodded to her and flattened herself against a wall and watched as Dani transformed into herewolf form.

~Fated slapped his boned mask on and stepped out of the room to come face to face with several other Death Eaters~

"I take it that we have to retreat for now?" He raised a brow seeing that they had obviously been fighting~

~Several of them nodded~

"Very well, let us go. We'll have another chance to crush this castle later." He sneered as he turned and led them towards the door.~

Dani changed and her eyes scaned the hall, she growled at the cloaked man, and lunged at him

Sky stood there in the shadows and watched as Dani charged the man. She saw the frightened look in his eyes and she smiled.

Dani growled and hurtled herself into the mans chest knocking him to the ground, she stared down into his eyes,

Sky walked over to where Dani and the deatheater were. She knew Dani had her covered. She pointed her wand at him and said, "Reveal yourself."

Dani watched as the magic under her paws began to work, and she changed back, "God Damnit," she yelled as her eyes began to fog

Sky saw what was happening to Dani. She screamed "PETRIFICUS TOTALLUS" At the deatheater and rushed to Dani. "Another vision?" She asked.

Dani shook her head, "It's Danielle"

"Oh no. Not again. We have got to get you out of here. Quick, let's run to the kitchen." She grabbed Dani's arm and ran with her twards the kitchen. She tickled the pear and they went inside.

Panting heavy from running so fast she looked at Dani. "Should I go and get George?"

"No," Dani said. "I just need some water."

Sky ran over to the cupboard and grabbed a glass. She ran to the sink and filled the glass with water and then ran to Dani with the glass. "Here, why does this keep happening to you?" Sky asked.

Dani tried to keep control over her body, "It happens when I use my gifts for evil instead of good, that's why Danielle comes, she's my alter-ego. If someone didn't stop me before the transformation was complete, she'd take over"

Sky stared at her. "Wow, I never knew that, but that deatheater might have tried to kill you. You can't use your powers to defend yourself?" Sky asked.

"No, I can, But I attacked first." Dani drained the glass

"Well, from now on I will do the stunning. I hate seeing you like this. It is pretty scary!" Sky told Dani.

Dani shook her head, "Not scary unexpected."

"Well, this happens a lot to you, a lot more than it used to. I am quite worried about you." Sky told Dani.

"You wern't there after the accident, were you?" Dani joked

Sky sighed. "No, I wasn't. Have you seen Madame Pomfrey lately? You really should talk to someone about this."

"She wouldn't understand," Dani said

Sky sat there looking at her friend. She wished she knew a way to help her. She sighed. "So, have you thought of a plan yet?"

"No," Dani said dully and closed her eyes. "I don't know what to think anymore,"

Sky looked at her. She was in no condition to battle. "We better just stay in here and rest for a bit. I will try to come up with a plan."

Dani nodded, and rested her head against the cool stone wall, "We need to keep moving," she said

"We are safe here for now. You need to rest a little longer. I am going to sneak out of the castle and change into my animagus form. I will fly to the order and alert them to what is going on." Sky told Dani.

"Good Idea," Dani said,

Sky walked next to Dani. "If something happens just change your form. I will be back as soon as I can."

Sky quietly ran from the castle and as soon as she reached beyond the Hogwart's gate she changed herself into her owl animagus and took flight into the cold night to fing Grimmould place.

Dani nodded and closed her eyes

Oddie looked around after being trans ported from one part of the castle to another. How did he do that she asked herself. Oddie got up and quickly made her way into the castle and walked up the stairs hoping that shed run into someone she knew and hoping that she wasnt going to run into a deatheater

::Rachel ran up to the Gryffindor Common Room to see if she was able to find anyone. She saw Oddie and, not quite recognizing her, didn't run up to meet her immediately. I have to be more careful... she cautioned herself.::

~Outside the castle,a good distance from it- Fated watched the other DE's leave then as soon as they were gone, he slowly looked around to be sure he was completely alone.~

~Then he lifted his arms, as his eyes began to glow as he allowed his body to take on a light blue glow. Suddenly his body began to distort and then a large pair of black wings burst from his back and he turned into his animagus form- a large black dragon~

~Beating his powerful wings against the wind, Fated flew off into the night's sky~

Dani opened her eyes again, she looked around the room, only to catch a glimps of a blue glow, before it disappered. "What the blood hell?" she whispered

::A window nearby her glowed brilliantly blue, and silently, she ran over to it. A black shape flew across the night sky, and her brown eyes widened in fear.::

"What was that?"

:Aja had her eyes closed, standing in front of Hogwarts. Her wand was held tightly in her hands. This was it, this was the final battle. This is where either Her Lord or Harry Potter must die. Her heart was beating faster than a drum and her head was starting to get a migraine.:

:She could her commotion around her, but she as oblivious to it. She still had that meeting stuck in her head.:

:The Dark Lord had asked that if anyone were turn their backs, they'd be the first to go. Now, Aja wasn't so sure she was on the right side. Did she really belong against Hogwarts and all the good wizards or was she only following her mother's orders? She had a choice and she had to make it soon before the war was over.:

::In a little village far from Hogwarts, Lani was outside watering the garden when a cloaked wizard passed by. "Hello," she said, smiling.

he seemed to be in a hurry. "Have you seen a bunch of wizards in dark cloaks pass by?" he asked nervously.

"Do you mean the ones with the raised wands, chanting under their breath?"

"Yes, them! Which way did they go?"

"I haven't seen them," she laughed and darted into the house. the cloaked wizard howled and tried to follow but there were protective wards up around the little house...::

:Aja hid in the shadows of Hogwarts near the entrance hall. If she saw anyone she would hex them. She ran up the stairs, the dark mark burning on her arm.:

Dani ran over to Rachel, "was that...couldn't be..."

As Oddie made it to the Gryffindor Common room she looked over and saw someone "Who are you" she asked "Are you a deatheater" she added and tried to find her wand. once she found it in her cloack she pointed her wand at the person, her hand shaking and waited for an answer

::She shook her head unablet to speak.::

"It...it looked like a dragon." ::a terrifying thought struck her.:: "Do you think they could have dragons?!"

"Maybe it was.wait theres something strange about this dragon. i should know im very interested in them. i just cant put my finger onit" Oddie replied calmly putting her wand down

"They could have them, I doubt it though. I saw some blue light and heard the noise...so...I don't know?"

Lily ran into the castle grounds.

:Aja managed to blend into the shadows as a girl came out and threatened her unexpectadly. This place must be swarming with students, she needed back up and soon:

:Peering around the corner she could see two people down the corridor talking.:

::The red head glanced at Oddie.::

"What do you think was different about this one?"

"I dont know. ive read a lot about dragons because im very interested in them and i just cant put my fingure out it but i swear theres something wierd about that dragon. lets go before where attacked" Oddie replied looking around

Jess looked around, "wheres all the fighting?" she asked no one inparticular then pulled her wand on rachel. "sectumsempra" she shouted slicing open the girls cheast and then dissaperating.

::Rachel was about to nod in agreement, when Jess came along and sliced her chest open. She opened her mouth in a scream but no sound came out and she fell to the ground, her chest bleeding. Since she didn't have her wand she couldn't heal herself, and before she was lost to blackness she muttered.::

"...help..."

:Aja came out from around the corner and stepped over Rachel's body. She almost like she wanted to help her, but restrainde herself. Grabbing Jessica's arm she took off.:

"Nice timing, Jess." she said as they slowed down. "You're becoming much like your father..."

Oddie quickly ran over to Rachel and stoped the bleeding. She then turned around and pointed her wand at the newcomers. "Who do you think you are" she shouted.
