Chapter 21

Hedwig soared over the tables in the Great Hall on Friday morning. Heavy droplets of water fell onto the students as she flew towards Harry. She let go of the large box she carried and flew out th nearest open window, afraid of being given another job.

Harry caught the box before it hit the table. ''I think this is one of the dresses... Well, it was anyway'' he said as it vanished from his grip.

''Thanks... And thank Hedwig for me'' Hermione said as she opened the lid slightly to peer inside. Ron tried to peek over her shoulder. ''Ron! We've told you! Our dresses are a secret... You'll see them Sunday!'' She said as she slammed the lid down and stood up. ''I'm gonna go see if the other owls have come... I'll see you later'' She picked up a napkin full of toast, kissed Ron quickly, waved at Jamie and Harry and then walked away, the dress box tucked under her arm.

''Oh yeah... Sunday... Two days'' Harry said as he looked at Jamie, who just looked back.

''Ever since I told you in the common room the other day you've been trying to make me nervous... I'm totally cool with it Harry... Nothing you can say will make me change my mind'' He said and then grabbed more toast.

A few minutes later, Ginny and Luna appeared next to Harry and Ron.

''I heard that you tried to peek at Hermione's dress?'' Luna asked Ron as she picked up a goblet.

He nodded and helped himself to more eggs.

''Alicia's in the Entrance Hall... She was talking to someone so we said we'd save her a seat'' Ginny answered Jamie's unsaid question.

''I think Alicia's starting to rub off on a couple of people...'' Harry said and Ginny stuck her tongue out at him.

''Speak of the Devil...'' Ron said as he nodded towards the doors.

Jamie turned round to watch as Alicia walked towards them. He smiled and waved at her when she stopped in the doorway. She didn't wave back but just stood there, staring into space.

As Harry stood up, so did Jamie. Alicia blinked and then collapsed where she stood. In a blink of an eye, Jamie had jumped over the table and started running towards her.

''Alicia? Alicia!'' Jamie said as he asked as she opened her eyes and looked up at him.

''We should of got them practicing earlier... Its here'' She said and her black traveled to the bright blue ceiling above them.

''How long have we got?'' Jamie asked as he looked round at all the students sitting in the Hall.

''Well... It's 9.30 now so... About 8 hours''

ohh sooo gooood !!! its here the battle is here and your dancing ?! well im getting ready to fight ! *raises wand*

Chapter 21 Cont.

''8? Are you sure?'' Ginny said as she stood behind Jamie.

''100 percent sure...'' She said as she looked towards the teachers table. Dumbledore looked up from his conversation with Professor Sprout and nodded at her.

''What?'' Jamie said as she sighed and put her face in her hands.

''Um... We've got to tell the school now... So that if anyone wants to practice they can'' She said without looking up at the others.

'That's not it... Promise you'll tell me later?' Alicia looked up at Jamie as he walked up the aisle between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.

'Promise...' She agreed as Ginny helped her up and they followed him.

''Can I have everyone's attention please...'' Dumbledore said as he stood up when Jamie and Harry reached the table. ''We have an announcement'' He waved at the group in front of him and then sat down.

''Alright... From our very reliable source... We've all got a problem...'' Jamie said as he turned round to face the school.

''This battle that nearly all of us are getting ready for... It's going to be here in about 8 hours... So thats how much time we've all got to practice... Even if you don't want to, there are no lessons today'' Alicia said as she looked over towards the Slytherin table.

''No lessons apart from D.A lessons outside on the lawn. If you don't want to practice, you don't have to but remember that we'll give you something to do so no- one is sitting around doing nothing'' Ginny said as she glared at the Hufflepuff table.

''So... Grab some toast and make your way outside please'' Dumbledore said as he clapped his hands and everyone stood up.

~*~

Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Jamie, Alicia and Luna stood in a line in front of the school out in the cool summer air.

''If you want to practice, go stand with Ginny'' Harry shouted out as Ginny moved away towards Hagrid's.

''Anyone else, line up please and wait for one of us to give you a job'' Alicia shouted as Harry walked over to Ginny drawing his wand.

There was a shuffling as the students lined up in front of her. When they were all in a line, Jamie walked up to the first person.

''Ernie, This is a list of people that can help us. I want you to copy this letter as many times as needed and send it to them. Use the school owls only'' He said as he handed over two scrolls of parchment. Ernie nodded, then turned and ran towards the school.

''Name a spell Parvati'' Ginny said as she paced at the front of the group.

''Erm... Avis?'' She said wearily.

Ginny thought about it or a second then nodded. ''Yes actually... Everyone, AVIS!'' She said as she pointed her wand up at the sky. A dozen starlings erupted from her wand tip. ''Think of a bird and then cast the spell... yes, thats it Hannah, Canaries are pretty but they're not going to help'' She said as she passed the Seventh Year Hufflepuff.

Soon the sky was full of birds, there was even a few eagles up there. Alicia left Jamie handing out jobs and walked towards Ginny and Harry.

''Hey guys, who cast the Eagles?'' She asked as she watched the birds above her head.

''Erm... Naomi I think...'' Ginny said as she looked into the crowd. ''Why?''

''Can I borrow her? I've had an idea...'' She said as she continued to watch the large birds.

Ginny nodded and called Naomi over. Alicia knew they had the right person when the Eagles followed the small brunette as she walked forwards.

''What's up Alicia?'' She asked as she reached her.

''Your birds, you can control them can't you?'' She asked as she looked down at the girl.

''Not really... I can tell them to do something but I can't control them like mind control... Why?'' she said as she held an arm out and a stunning golden bird landed there.

''We need to protect the school as best as we can... You think you could create as many Eagles as possible and get them to attack anyone who's not on our side?'' Naomi nodded and then skipped off towards the school.

''Try another spell now... Try Incarcerous...'' Ginny said as Alicia walked away again. She walked past Jamie, who had finished handing out jobs , and headed towards the forest.

''Ali? What are you doing?'' Jamie said as he caught up with her.

''Getting help...'' She said as she turned and smiled at him. ''I'm not sure if this will work though...'' She added on as she looked behind her.

''Where are we going?'' He asked as they stepped off the path and into the trees.

''Cover your ears... FIRENZE! BANE! MAGORIAN! RONAN!'' She shouted as she spun round on the spot.

OMG! UR BRILLIANT LOL ! im lovin it and i have control of eagles so cool!

Chapter 21 Cont.

''We are not used to humans calling us girl'' Bane said as he stepped out of the trees straight ahead of Jamie.

''I know and I apologise. Hagrid told me that it was the only way to get your attention'' Alicia said as she stared up at the dark Centaur.

''What do you want girl? We know what is happening tonight, what you are doing out on the grounds. What do you want?'' Magorian said as he stood behind Jamie and Alicia.

''Your help. The Deatheaters will attack the forest as well as the castle, you know that. I ask for the Centaur's to help'' She said.

The four Centaurs around her grouped together and spoke about it. 15 minutes after Alicia and Jamie had entered the forest, they walked out with the herd of Centaurs surrounding them.

~*~*~

Next chapter is 2 hours before battle.

Chapter 22

Alicia glanced at her watch. 3:30. She watched as Neville placed one of the many plants he was carrying behind a suit of armour.

''Jamie? Remember when I had that vision earlier?'' She said as they walked through the corridors.

''Oh yeah... Is this you telling me what you saw?'' He said as he come to a stop outside the Charms classroom.

She nodded and looked down. ''I saw Voldemort talking to Harry face to face... He had Ginny standing next to him... A prisoner'' She said quietly.

Jamie looked round them before pulling her into the classroom. ''I'll keep an eye on them... What else?''

''Luna unconscious... Ron fighting to save Hermione... The twins... Rosalie... Jasper... Dead'' She listed as she closed her eyes. Her face screwed up in pain as she continued. ''I heard screams... My screams... I saw you... On the floor... In front of me... hurt...'' She whispered round sobs as Jamie wrapped his arms round her.

''That won't happen... We'll get the others back, I know we will... I'll make sure that I won't get hurt... I'll keep Ginny and Luna in my sight at all times... I'll do anything, just to make you happy again...'' Jamie said as he rocked the crying girl from side to side.

''No... Just look after yourself... I'm fine... Honestly I am'' She said after a minute. There was no trace of sadness on her face now.

''Alright... A long as I get to look after you as well... We might want to tell Harry about Ginny though'' He said as an after thought. Memories of how Harry had reacted to things they had kept from him flooded their heads.

''Okay... I'll tell him now... Be careful... There's 3 hours till they arrive... And I've got a plan on how to greet them'' She said as they walked back out the room into the corridor.

Harry's reaction was better than last time. All he said was that the future can change. Alicia called another meeting with everyone involved, which had to be held in the Hall as the students were there.

~*~

''Right... When they get here, I'm going to be outside waiting for them, alone-'' She said but there was a loud outroar from the others.

''No. Your not going out there alone Ali...'' Jamie said as Ginny shook her head and Hermione stared at her as if she was mad.

''No- one is doing anything alone in this...'' Mrs Weasley said as Fred and George nodded in agreement.

''Right, fine then. I'll take a group out there with me then... But it will only be a small group- Don't. Mrs Weasley, hear me out'' She said as she held up a finger. Mr Weasley closed her mouth. ''As I was saying... I'm waiting outside, but there's people up at the windows waiting for my signal... There's also a group outside... Hidden from view... And then there's Naomi's Eagles...'' She said. Jamie understood what she getting at. She was the bait, to lure the Deatheaters into a trap.

''I'm with you...'' Jamie said as Alicia turned to look at him. ''I'm one of the small group''

''Same...'' Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Luna said together. Alicia nodded.

''We'll cover the Astromony Tower'' Fred and George said as they stood up. ''We've got a few tricks up our sleeves...''

Soon, everyone had been given a group and had disappeared to whatever area they had to be in. Alicia looked at her watch again.

''Alright... We've got an hour... Lets go'' She said as she stood up and walked toward the doors, the others following behind her.

~*~

''Bring me the older girl...'' Voldemort said to Wormtail as they walked towards the metal gates of the stairs.

''Y- Yes Master...'' He stuttered and disappeared from view. A couple of minutes later, he returned dragging a blonde girl round the age of twenty by a chain which was tied to her wrists.

''What's your name Muggle?'' Voldemort's eyes seemed to glow brighter as he spoke to her.

''Rosalie Daniels'' She said strongly as she straightened her back slightly.

''Brave... Lets see how brave you are now... Say hello to your sister, Alicia'' He said to a dark shadow standing just inside the gate.

omg still so good! more more more !

xlillyx

Lilly, you actually made me cry with your post!! I love it so much! And now this post will hold the first part of the battle...

Chapter 23

Rosalie's head snapped round and she stared at the girl in front of her. Alicia looked like a total stranger. Black hair and eyes, tight black jeans and a tight, short sleeved shirt. One hand was a fist, the other held her wand.

As they stood there, small white flakes started to fall from the sky, growing larger and larger.

''Where are the others? I was expecting to be met by the seven of you'' Voldemort said as he examined the girl.

''They're waiting for me... Over there'' She said as she nodded with her head behind her. Looking over, Voldemort saw six outlines in the falling snow.

'Be careful...' Jamie's voice swam through Alicia's head as she glanced at her sister.

''Why have you decided to meet me alone then?'' Voldemort said quietly as he eyed the wand by her side.

''My family. Let them go'' She said as she gestured to Rosalie.

''I think not... You see, they are my way of bargaining... Surely you understand'' He said as he placed a hand on Rosalie's shoulder. She shook it off and stepped away slightly as Alicia's eyes flashed red.

''It's a miracle that your still standing now so I think you can let my sister go...'' She said as she tried to control her anger. Exploding at him now could be dangerous for Rosalie.

''And then what?''

''I'll let you walk away from me. You can return to your followers while I return to the others... A deal if you wish'' She said.

''How can I believe that you won't go back on your word?'' She placed her wand in her pocket. ''I know that you've mastered how to use magic without a wand''

''I value my sister's life too much to risk it over yours'' She said.

'Don't react. Walk quickly towards the others. Jamie's over there. He'll take you inside the castle where Dumbledore will protect you. Whatever you do, DON'T LOOK BACK' Rosalie didn't even blink as her sisters words echoed round her head.

''Very well... Rosalie, you may go'' Voldemort said as he stared at Alicia as she walked forwards. As she passed, Rosalie touched Alicia's hand briefly.

'RUN, NOW...' Rosalie sped up as Alicia closed her eyes and raised a hand to her head. 'JAMIE...VISION' He steppe forwards slightly as Alicia fell to her knees, her pink eyes were open and staring.

''Hmmm...'' Voldemort said to himself as he looked down upon the helpless girl. Jamie noticed this and stepped forwards again, only to be blown back by an unseen source. Looking up, he saw Rosalie cross the half way line between the two groups. He raised a wand and gave it a sliht flick. Rosalie dropped like a stone.

Alicia had stood up again, face set and two red eyes staring forwards at the snake- like face opposite her. Voldemort was pushed back by a force that exploded out of the girl.

''LIAR! NO!'' She screamed as she swiped at the air. Voldemort ducked out the way just in time, causing a small beech tree behind him to explode.

''You really think I'd let her walk away alive?'' Voldemort hissed as he backed out the gates again.

''I DON'T CARE! YOU'LL DIE FOR THIS!'' She screamed at him as he melted into the blackness.

She turned and ran towards the others. Skidding to a stop beside Jamie, she looked down upon Rosalie's body face down in the snow.

''Come on... We'll better be getting inside...'' Harry said as he covered the bod in a conjured white cloth. Alicia turned and walked, practically marched, into the Entrance Hall. Harry and Hemine levitated Rosalie's body into Classroom Eleven, the unused classroom on the ground floor.

''Alright... Change of plan. We attack now'' Alicia said as she entered the Great Hall. The silence broke as people stood up. ''Don't be light on them, they won't be to you. They're aiming to kill... Use any spell that comes to your head.. Even Unforgivable curses... If you don't want to kill... Stun'' They nodded and made their way to their positions.

Harry looked at her momentarily. He had heard those words before. Lupin had said that to them at the Ministry right before... He pushed the thought aside quickly as Ginny turned to him.

''We've got to get outside...''

~*~

''What are you waiting for? Them to make the first move? GO!'' Voldemort said as he glided forwards. ''Leave the Muggles...'' He said as he drew hi wand and walked towards the three small figures.

~*~

Naomi walked up to the Astronomy Tower with the twins, who carried a large box between them.

''I would ask, but I'm not sure I want to know...'' She said as she pulled her wand out her pocket and directed towards the sky. A dozen Eagles appeared and started to cirle above them.

''And we think that you'd be better off not knowing'' Fred said as George pulled a packet of brown liquid out the box.

''Some of this is only proto types though'' He said as he levitated the now open packet out and tipped the contents out, down to the lawns far below, where a swap appeared. ''See them get over that

~*~

Shouts of the Deatheaters were heard throughout the castle as the groups lead by Alicia, Jamie, Harry and Ginny surprised them. Flashes of light lit up the windows as they fired back. Naomi's eagles dived at their heads, ripping off masks and pulling out hair. The twins' swap claimed a couple of Deatheaters as they tried to go round the first fight.

~*~*~

I know it's not much but still...

Chapter 24

''Alicia!'' Ginny shouted over the smashing sound that was a window behind them. Their fight had managed to crawl closer to the school. ''Have you seen Luna or Harry?''

''No! Why? Are they missing? PROGETO!'' She said as she deflected another stunner.

''Yeah... I've looked everywhere!'' She sounded upset now.

''One minute...'' She waved her wand and the Deatheater she was fighting crumpled and fell. ''Right... I think I know where Luna is... Stay with me Ginny'' Alicia turned and back towards Hagrid's where Harry and Luna were supposed to be fighting. A dark shape was visible in the white snow. ''There! That's Luna there... She's been hit by something on the left side of her head and was knocked out... I've seen this...'' Alicia closed her eyes and swore loudly as Ginny picked Luna up and carried her into Hagrid's. ''Ginny! Whatever you do, don't leave my sight! If you do, pray that Jamie or Harry finds you!'' She said quickly as she grabbed Ginny's arm and pulled her towards the school.

''Alicia! What's going on?'' Ginny said as she stumbled up the stairs.

Alicia spoke quickly as she dragged her through the castle, telling her everything that she had told Jamie.

~*~

Voldemort apparated back to the Malfoy Manor with Jasper, Alice and Edward. He locked them in a small cell below the living room while he paced round a study thinking.

~*~*~

Hi everyone! I promise, as a thank you for reading, I'll add you all in to a story... Hopefully, in a couple of weeks, my newest one is popping up somewhere...

I can't actually write anymore... My brain has just died... But I promise I will have it done by tomorrow... My time anyway...

Hehe ^ its not lonely anymore yey!!! fantabulous my dear, pams lol oh and i get to help Fred and George lol *fly my prettys fly-sends out eagles to fight*

xlillyx

Alright... Maybe I was wrong about my other story... It popped up straight away... It's underneath this story and is called The Beginning and the End!!

~*~

As he turned again, a pop echoed round the room.

''My Lord, we have the Potter brat... The Daniels girl is keeping a close eye on his girlfriend. Also, the healer is unconscious but we do not know where she is'' Lucius bowed slightly as he spoke.

''Very well... Have you got inside the castle yet? That is where Alicia is hiding Miss Weasley''

Lucius shook his head. ''We are very nearly there My Lord. A we speak, Bella has pushed the fight onto the Entrance stairs''

~*~

''That's why everyones been keeping an eye on you Ginny... You were a prisoner...'' Alicia finished as they rounded the corner and saw Ron and Hermione.

''OI! Have you seen-'' Alicia said as thy skidded to a halt in front of them.

''Harry? No... I was about to ask the same question. We found his jumper though...'' Hermione said as she held out a light blue hoodie.

Alicia took the jumper and her eyes jumped to pink. A few seconds later they turned red.

'I'll kill him! I really will!'' Alicia said as she turned and ran back the way she came, drawing her wand as she went.

''Alicia! Kill who?'' Ginny said as she went to follow.

''Voldemort. You stay with them... I'll get Harry back'' And she turned the corner at full speed.

~*~

Voldemort returned to the basement. He opened the door to Jasper, Alice and Edward as well as th one opposite them.

''Lets go find Alicia, shall we?'' And with that, he apparated the five Muggles to Hogwarts.

Harry was gagged and bound to a tree close by. He tied the others to another tree and walked towards the Lake where a small figure was barely noticable threw the heavy snow.

''Alicia, what do I own the pleasure?'' He said as he drew nearer.

''Release Harry. Release my brothers and sister. Now'' She was practically shaking with anger as she stood opposite him.

''I can't do that. You knew that anyway'' He said as she nodded.

''Yes. I saw that you wouldn't let them go without a deal'' Her red eyes closed and then opened to reveal a bright blue. ''A swap. Let them go and you can have me'' She held up her wand and dropped it into the deep snow.

''Very well...'' Voldemort magically tied her hands behind her back and led her to the tree where Harry was tied. ''You are a fair swap for our brothers and sister. Not Potter though...'' He said as he gagged her. The blue melted into red again as she stared up at him.

Voldemort walked into the darkness for a second and then returned with Jasper, Alice and Edward. As soon as they saw Alicia, they started crying.

''Alicia...'' Jasper said as Alice started to run towards her. Voldemort flicked his wand at the small child and she dropped like her oldest sister. Alicia's scream was muffled by the material in her mouth and she fought against the rope bounding her to the tree next to Harry.

Voldemort flicked his wand twice and the two boys dropped as well. Alicia's eyes were a mixture of red and clear. As she fought against the ropes, Voldemort stepped away again.

''I've just thought... Who's going to tell the others that I have you as well as Potter?'' He returned with two adults who were shocked to see Alicia standing tied to a tree.

As soon as she see them, Alicia froze and stopped screaming. She shook her head, begging with her eyes.

''What are your names?'' Voldemort said as he kept his eye on Alicia.

''Amii Daniels''

''James Daniels, what are you going to do with our daughter?''

''The same as I did to her brothers and sisters,'' He gestured to the three bodies. ''The same as I'm going to do with Mr Potter there'' He said as he nodded towards Harry.

Alicia looked at her mother as she stared at the dark shapes in the snow.

''Jasper? Alice? Edward?'' She looked at Alicia ho nodded, tears spilling down over her cheeks. ''Rosalie?'' When Alicia nodded again, her mother bowed her head.

Voldemort laughed quietly as he flicked his wand. The woman dropped like the rest of her family.

Alicia closed her eyes and looked away, only to look back when she heard her dads voice.

''You've killed nearly all my children, my wife and you plan on killing my daughter and her friends. If you let me go, you'll only kill me as well'' Voldemort nodded once.

''Yes. You see, wiping out both the Potter and the Daniels family will help me greatly'' Alicia closed her eyes and hung her head, blocking out the rest of Voldemort's speech.

~*~

''Look, down there by the forest, who's out there? I was looking round and a flash of light caught my eye'' Naomi pointed towards three figures standing in the snow.

As Fred and George looked over, another flash of green light burst through and one of the figures dropped. The light had lit up the corner and George had seen who was there easily.

''You- Know- Who's out there... He's got Harry and Alicia tied to a tree... It looks like there's a Muggle with him...'' H said as the tins turned to Naomi.

''Nay, do you think you can watch them while we find the others?''

''Sure! I'll send some friends down to play as well'' She smiled as ten bronze birds plummeted towards the corner she was watching.

~*~*~

I seem to have my brain back again... YAY!

Abi...xox

That post was great, I like the part where they're tied up at that tree. PAMS!
-Angie-

Pams! that its get happier lol

Chapter 25

As Voldemort sent her father away into the darkness, Alicia remembered Harry next to her.

'Harry, you okay?' She nudged his shoulder lightly. 'Harry? Harry?' She started to worry as she nudged him again. Still no reply. She looked up at Voldemort with worried eyes.

''He's not dead yet. Just unconscious... It was how Bella left him'' Alicia's eyes narrowed as she heard Bellatrix's name. So that's why Harry had disappeared in the first place...

Her thoughts changed as a large bronze bird fluttered down onto a branch nearby. She closed her eyes and concentrated on Naomi.

~*~

Keeping her eyes trained on the corner, Naomi sent a flock of eagles towards the main fight. As she turned away from the edge of the tower, she screamed.

''ALICIA!'' She clutched at her heart as she looked at the girl in front of her.

''Sort of... I'm astro- projecting right now. I haven't got long. Tell the others that my dad's looking for them. Tell Jamie not to try and rescue me. I'm fine for now. I gave myself in! Harry's fine as well... Just knocked out. I'll tell him what's going on when he wakes up. If Jamie asks about Rosalie and the twins, tell him that they're dead. Same goes with my mum'' She said quickly as she peered towards the corner.

''We thought something had happened. I'm keeping tabs on the corner you're in. The green lights gave you away. Are you okay?'' She said as she followed her gaze.

''If Jamie asks, I'm fine... Between you and me, No. I don't think I'll ever be able to get over this... He killed them at my feet... He's planning on killing my dad as well... I'm going soon after though, even if I have to beg'' She said softly as she watched Naomi's face change.

''NO! Alicia! You can't!'' Naomi was on the verge of tears as Alicia spun to look towards where she was supposed to be.

''Look, tell the others what I told you. Tell Jamie I'm fine and to come and find me until every thing's over... Tell him I lov him... Bye Nay...'' Alicia started to disappear as Naomi ran towards her, tearing pouring down her face.

As she ran, Naomi replayed what had just happened until she ran into Hermione.

''Naomi? What's wrong?'' She said as she gripped the girls shoulders.

~*~

Alicia snapped her head up as the rope tying her to the tree loosened and the gag vanished from her mouth. She caught Harry before he hit the ground.

''I think that a little walk should give us time...'' Voldemort said as he tapped the rope in his hand. It attached itself round Alicia's tied hands and started pulling her forwards. She was followed, dragging Harry.

''Time for what?'' She said as she looked up slightly.

''This to end... Time to think'' Voldemort said as he waved is hand towards the fight in the background. The flashes of light issuing before them were familiar to Alicia.

''I've seen this...'' She said quietly as she shifted Harry's weight. ''Harry, come on... Wake up already!'' She said as she shook him slightly.

''This will do'' Voldemort said as he stopped by another tree, this time closer to the fight. ''I would give you another option apart from death, but then it wouldn't be much fun...'' He said as he flicked his wand. Alicia's wand flew into his outstretched hand. Another flick of his wand and she was untied. He threw her wand at her. ''Lets see how much you learnt''

She caught her wand before dragging Harry over to the nearest tree. ''I'm sorry...'' She said as she tied him to it. She didn't want him to try and stop what was going to happen.

She raised her wand above her head as she faced Voldemort. They stood still for a moment before the duel began.

~*~

''NO! SHE CAN'T! WE'VE GOT TO STOP HER!'' Hermione shouted as her and Naomi ran through the corridors calling Jamie.

''But she said not to!'' Naomi said as she sent a stunner towards a Deatheater fighting Hannah Abbott by the front doors.

''I don't care! JAMIE!'' Hermione screamed as she waved frantically. ''ALICIA'S-'' She couldn't get the rest out as a spell missed her by inches.

''What!'' Jamie said as he looked towards them.

Naomi ran to him and spoke quickly. ''Alicia and Harry have been captured and are now being held with Voldemort. He's moved them but I'm not sure where they are! Jamie, she's planning on dying! Voldemort's going to kill them both!'' Jamie stood there staring into the darkness with a horrified expression fixed on his face for a minute before turning and darting off towards the forest. Hermione and Naomi looked at each other before following him.

~*~*~

I'll post asap!
