Everyone apparated to Hogwarts in a rush, the message of Lord Voldermort approaching Hogwarts spread like fire. Many Witches and Wizards instantly left the wizarding world in fear while several wizards and witches stepped forward bravely supporting the good side.

     "We need to scatter around now!" Remus yelled to the whole group. Everyone from Grimmauld Place except Teddy and Andromeda came, Tonks too after arguing with Remus that being an auror she will fight and not sit at home, just because she recently became a mother.

     Mike and Lory too came along with them, now everyone was told to guard the castle as the news of Voldermort soon going to invade it was at large. Harry and his friends were not to be found anywhere.

     Everyone scattered in different directions, Amelia, Estella, Lory and Mike were together and had to continue charming the castle with a shield, which Mcgonnacal was doing.

     Everything felt dark and chaotic, everyone had mask themselves up with bravery and not show they were scared. Because everyone was, some where scared to lose the battle, some to lose their lives, and some to lose their dear ones. But to focus on what was in front of them and fight with it was the main aim right now.

     "We will all stay together and survive tonight alright?" Estella asked slightly scared holding hands with them, all of them nodded as they themselves were scared of what was going to happen.

    "And even if we dont– remember we died fighting and not sitting at home afraid of this" Amelia said. Estella pulled Mike in a long kiss closing her brimming eyes, while Amelia hugged Lory, who knows which one of them wont make it tonight.

    "I love you and always will" Estella whispered pulling away, Mike nodded with a sad smile.

    "Is that– is that Amelia?– Amelia!" Amelia turned around to an overly familiar voice and saw her Slytherin friends, and Pansy who yelled after her.

     Pansy wasted no moment in running towards her bringing her in a hug, Amelia closed her eyes feeling bliss at the wrong moment. "You are back!"

   Amelia nodded pulling away smiling but the first thing that popped in her kind was where was the missing member of all of them. "Where's Draco– h-has something happened to him?"

    "I dont know where he is– we dont know who among us is safe and who not" Pansy said desperately.

    Pansy told them she might will be rescued soon, as he parents too were deatheaters along with Daphne's. Not having much time the girls had to depart, as the danger neared they all were alerted.

    "They are trying to enter the castle!" Amelia yelled as she could see people starting to fight in the background as several deatheaters barged in forcefully.

    "Lory!–Stupify" Amelia yelled as a deatheater came running towards Lory with his wand pointed.

    Soon they were attacked by a big group of deatheaters and the scattered on the whole ground of Hogwarts. Amelia and Lory kept fighting together with the bunch of deatheaters.

    "Confrigo!" Amelia yelled on the top of her lungs sending two deatheaters flying back in once.

    Mike and Estella were dueling a bit far away from them, she could see they were surrounded by more deatheaters, and Mike continuously trying to shield Estella from every attack.

    "Come Lory lets help Mike and Este!" Amelia yelled as they finished a small group of deatheaters. Lory nodded and they both ran towards Mike and Estella's direction.

    "Imperio!" Amelia yelled with her wand pointed at a wizard who was dueling with Mike and sent him flying away thrown at the end of castle.

    "Mike!" Estella yelled as she was attacked by a set of three deatheaters altogether, while Amelia and Lory continued. Mike reached towards Estella knocking out all three of them at once, Estella stopped and grinned up at him, He too passed a cheeky smile but his eyes widened as a man in background had his wand pointed at Estella's back.  
   
    "Avada Kedavra!" The masked man yelled with his wand pointed at Estella's back and Mike ran towards her wide eyed pulling her behind him letting the green light hit him.

    "MIKE!" Estella yelled on the top of her lungs gaining the attention of Amelia and Lory and they saw Mike weakly falling down on the floor, while Estella tried to hold him back but he just held a small smile aimed at Estella. And suddenly he eyes stared blankly. 

    Mike was dead. Now the real war started.

    Estella shrieked collapsing near him, clutching to his lifeless body letting out a painful ear piercing cry. Mike was dead, he was not moving anymore. Amelia's stomach dropped seeing the sight in front of her.

    He was her first friend in America, he was just like an elder brother to her, but he is now no more. A shuddered breath left Amelia's mouth as she saw Estella desperately trying to wake him up, but now he wont.

     Looking up with her stinging eyes Amelia saw the deatheater who killed Mike held an evil smirk. Sudden rage filled Amelia's veins and clenching her jaw tightly with her vision blurring with furious tears she pointed her wand at the deatheater.

     "CRUCIO!" She yelled and held the wand pointed at him for longer than anyone could, the man shrieked in agony falling to the ground, many people around him stopped to see him because of his painful scream, but Amelia didnt pull away.

    Amelia's raging eyes fell on another deatheater who was coming to rescue his friend and darted her wand towards him making him let out such painful shrieks too. She finally pulled away leaving the two almost lifeless deatheaters still screaming in pain and turned to Estella who was still crying holding to Mike while Lory shielded them.

    Swallowing her tears back on the sight of her cousin she slowly approached her placing a hand on the crying girl's shoulder "Este Mike would want you to fight, not cry"

   Estella didnt listen as she continued sobbing on his chest, that blank face of Mike made her heart wrench, but she steadily forced Estella up detaching her from him. "Mike will be  moved inside Este, we need to fight right now!"

    "Amelia!– w-what happened?" Fred and George came running towards them and instantly their eyes falling on Mike's lifeless body.

    Amelia had Estella in her embrace sushing her also preventing herself from breaking down, while Fred and George carried Mike inside the great hall, where all the bodies were laid and injured ones were being healed by Madam Pomphrey.

    Many people were startled seeing Amelia Black back, but now was not the time to greet and meet her. After a lot of explaining Amelia managed to take an overwhelmed Estella out to fight again.

    This time Estella mercilessly stunned the deatheaters as her boiling blood needed to have the revenge back. They kept fighting, dueling and stunning the deatheaters till hours, resisting their tired limbs to rest.

    "Amelia!– are you all alright?" Sirius Black came running towards them, but none of them seemed alright, especially Estella, she fought furiously.

    "M-Mike– h-he is no m-more" Amelia whispered with her lips trembling wildly, Sirius' mouth parted as he pulled his daughter in a hug, and sushed her caressing her hair.

    "AMELIA!– DAD AND TONKS ARE FIGHTING THERE ALONE!" Estella yelled and her eyes fell on where she was indicating, Remus and Tonks were dueling with Antonin Dohlov and several other wizards alone.

    Sirius and Amelia rushed to where Remus and Tonks were dueling, Amelia ignored the lurching of her stomach as she didnt want to lose anyone anymore. Not her godfather, not Tonks, no one. Sirius and Amelia reached to where they both were dueling. "Remus!– Tonks!"

    Amelia called but they could not hear from where she was calling Sirius had to part in the mid way as he was attacked by another group of deatheaters so Amelia alone ran towards her godfather and Tonks.

    Suddenly her eyes widened as Antonin Dohlov started yelling the killing curse but it missed a few times hitting someone else in background, with her heart pounding wildly Amelia increased her pace running towards her godfather and Tonks, she could not afford to lose them, only Teddy's picture playing in her mind.

   He was not even a month old yet and what if– No..no..no. She ran as fast she could, stupifying all those who tried to intervene. Antonin Dohlov again yelled but this time with more intensity "AVADA KEDAVRA"

    Amelia made a jump pushing Remus down thankfully in time, she saved him, Remus smiled down at her, but instantly his face going pale, his eyes widened, Amelia read the look, and her stomach dropped even more... Tonks.

   With her heart pounding rapidly and her legs shaking wildly she slowly started standing up, fearing what she will see, while Remus didnt dare to turn around his eyes widened and bloodshot.

    A shaky breath left Amelia's mouth and her knees collapsing back again with her falling back on the floor as she saw the sight behind Remus.

   Tonks's lifeless body laid behind Remus and her eyes staring blankly at Remus' back.

   "R-Remus T-Tonks– she–" Amelia couldnt manage to choke words out, Remus looked up at meeting his bloodshot eyes with her brimming ones, and shot up pointing his wand in front of him furiously "AVADA KEDAVRA"

    The deatheater, Antonin Dohlov was thrown on the floor as the green light hit him in the square of his chest, soon going lifeless. Remus scrunched his eyes shut tightly and heavy tear drops rolled down his cheeks. 

    He slowly got up, knowing his wife, the mother of his child was now laying dead behind him. Amelia ran towards him bringing her godfather in a hug shedding a few tears with her heart wrenching against his chest, he hugged back, preventing himself from breaking down just now. Meanwhile she could not feel his heartbeats withing him, really low and slow.

    "The bodies will be removed, continue fighting, we cannot stop!" Mad Eye Moody came yelling and stunning deatheaters. Remus slowly pulled away from Amelia, glancing behind him at his now late wife, a teary smile engraving his lips, he brough his ring finger up to his lips kissing it lightly, having one last loving glance towards his wife.

    And then everything continued once again. They could not stop and shed tears for dead ones, they had to stop more people getting killed. The duelling and fighting continued for hours and now many people who lost someone tonight were fighting with rage filled their hearts.

    "Amelia!" Lory yelled desperstely gaining Amelia's attanetion, with her wide searching eyes Amelia found her best friend being tackled by a couple of deatheaters, her wand was snatched and broken and now she was under the grip of those deatheaters.

    Amelia ran towards her with full speed. Her heart was at its own marathon, she had already lost two people, and now she could not afford to lose more, no one at all. But her heart wrenched painfully when Lory again let out a painful shriek as a deatheater had his wand pointed at her performing the Cruciatus curse on her.

    Amelia took her wand out pointed at them, she feared if the spell by mistake hit Lory but she had to do it. But before she could fire the spell someone else with a really familiar voice interrupted yelling the curse in Lory's direction.

    "AVADA KEDAVRA"
