Chapter 46

I glanced back at the Order and noticed Remus and Tonks holding hands. I smiled at them and they smiled back. I saw Molly and ran to her. She greeted me with a warm hug. "Oh how are you dear, not hurt I hope?" she pulled away.

"I'm great. I'm just glad to see all of your faces again." I looked over at George. I remember what Ron had said back at Shell cottage.

"He's been quite worried. I would go talk to him." Molly told me. I nodded and made my way over to George.

"So you're engaged." he seemed sad.

"Yeah. I missed you." I said.

"As did I my fair one." Fred came up behind George. "But I'm sure lover boy here missed you more." he winked at George as he blushed bright red.

"It's alright, George. Maybe if I wouldn't have grown up with him and been friends with him, we would've been great together." I hugged him lightly and leaned up to his ear. "I still love you. You are a great person George. Any girl would be lucky to have you." I whispered. I let go and he shot me a smile.

"I love you too." he said. I knew what he meant. He was very understanding in this way. "Alright you two, let's get going." Kingsley said to us. We started walked out of the hall. "Anyxus, you'll need to be positioned somewhere in the castle so none of the Death Eaters see you."

"It doesn't matter where I am. In fact, I'd like to be somewhere where they can see me. I want to see the look on their faces. It'll be more fun." I smirked.

"Okay, you'll be in the Entrance Hall." I cheered inside my head and made my way to the Entrance. I noticed Neville along the way and I embraced him with a hug.

"Oh, hey Anyxus, what was that about?" he questioned.

"I didn't get to before." I smiled. He smiled back and McGonagall came into view.

"Let me get this straight Professor, you're actually giving us permission to do this?" he asked bewildered.

"That is correct, Longbottom." she said speed walking.

"To blow it off, boom?"

"Boom!" she was certain.

"Wicked." Neville and I said at the same time.

"But how on earth are we going to do that?" he asked.

"Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnagan, as I recall he has a particular proclivity to piro-technics." I laughed at this.

"I can bring em' down." Seamus assured.

"That's the spirit, now will you go." she said.

"You do realize that we can't keep You-Know-Who from attacking?" Flitwick said.

"That doesn't mean we can't delay him." she said and flicked her wand. "And his name is Voldemort, yes you might as well use it, he's going to try to kill you either way." and she was right. "Piertotum Locomotor!" she shouted. The next thing I knew the statues from the castle were alive and ready for battle. "Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!" Me and Molly watched as the soldiers marched their way forward. "I've always wanted to use that spell!" McGonagall cheered.

About a half an hour later a big explosion shook the castle grounds. I looked up to the sky and realized what was happening. They're coming. Draco's coming. I don't know what I was doing but I found myself running into the castle and going up the stairs. The castle once again shook, making me stumble on the stairs. I watched as death eaters flew through black smoke into the castle.

I held onto my wand tighter and continued running up the stairs, occasionally hitting a few people on the way. I was now on the seventh floor. I noticed all of the rubble and glass on the floor. I walked down the hall to the empty wall. I gulped and closed my eyes. I calmed down and thought of Draco. When I opened my eyes, the door was there.
