Hogwarts United
Albus's almond shaped eyes became wide as he took in the scene. Several hammocks were hung between poles, all a lovely cream colour. There were people, all injured in some way, being treated by different witches and wizards. One of them, reassembled Franky Longbottom. A round faced man with robes that looked rather expensive. His sleeves were rolled up and he had a potion in his hand. His eyes went wide as he glanced at the newly arrived group. "Harry!" he cheered. All eyes left their current positions to snap at The oldest Potter. "Neville!" Harry cheered back as he stepped down to hug the blond man.
"We don't have time," Delphini interrupted, stepping down from the hole, joining the others, "knowing my father, he is probably already on his way. We need to find a way to defeat him." "How!?" Ron spoke clearly, looking at the few hundred people present. "Trust me, there are a lot more willing to help defeat the Dark Lord than they let on," Delphini smirked, marching towards the entrance. "I love what you've done with the Room of Requirements," Delphini spoke, as the others followed her. Albus however aired back, grabbing Aquila's wrist.
The young girl turned, confused at Albus's actions. The boy's poor heart pounded against his ribs as he looked into those confused emerald teal eyes. "Aquila I want to tell you something," he spoke nervously, "Um- well, for a while- actually- I wanted to tell you incase it became too late later on- I- uh-"
"You like me," Aquila spoke, a small smirk present on her lips. Albus's brows disappeared into his hairline as rosy dust settled on his cheek. "You-re not very good at hiding a crush," Aquila giggled. Albus blushed furiously, "How-" he let out before he was interrupted by a pair of sweet lips against his own. Before he could comprehend what was happening, the lips vanished against his own. "I'll give you a longer one, once this is over," Aquila giggled and skipped to the rest of the group. The tip of Albus's ears reddened further and he stepped with the group again. Scorpius, with a smug smile, bumped his elbow into Albus's ribs.
"Okay, here's the plan," Delphini whispered to the nine in front of her, "Me, Hermione, Ron, Rose and Scorpius will go to the Great Hall, as it is almost dinner time, and attack Rudolphus, and every other professor except Professor Sprout and Flitwick. That includes the History of Magic Professor, Barty Crouch Jr. and the new Care and Understanding of Magical Creatures professor, Fenrir Greyback. Meanwhile Harry, Draco, Albus, Aquila and James will try to convince the crowd to join the battle. Can you do that?" When everybody nodded, memorising their roles, Delphini gave a quick okay, and shrunk. Her arms grew feathers, turning into wings, a beak forming on her face as she turned into an Augury. The ten headed out of the Room of Requirements and charged towards the Great Hall.
As soon as the doors opened, Hermonie cast a stunning spell and havoc broke loose. "Please!" Draco yelled at the students. The Slytheirn immediately turned their ears to their Head of House. Rudolphus was soon out cold, as was Fenrir and Crouch. The other professors, apart from Sprout and Fliwick, were all either Stunned or had a body-bind spell used on them. The students and the two professors stood quiet as they caught sight of the Golden Trio.
"We have a way," Harry said confidently to the group of students, "we have a way to defeat the Dark Lord. Please, we need help." Harry looked around at the audience, waiting for someone to stand forward. "You know Harry," Sprout said, "Hufflepuff will always have your back." "As will Ravenclaw," the tiny professor squeaked, his beard swaying as he spoke. Harry's eyes glossed at the affection and hope. Delphini transformed back into her human form and sighed, "Well, Gryffindor can't turn its back on its most famous and bravest member now can it?" "You're in Gryffindor!" Hermione shrieked. Delphini rolled her eyes, used to this treatment already.
All eyes turned to the Slytherin students as they whispered furiously to each other. Harry could understand why. Most of them were from Ranks 1 and 2 and their parents worked for the Dark Lord. One of them, a boy who reminded Harry awfully of a certain Zabini, nodded, "We're in."
A thunder struck, warning the occupants of the Hall of the arrival of the Lord. Delphini panicked, "First years, Second years and Third years, please follow Professor Flitwick to the Room of Requirements, compulsorily. Students from other years who wish not to put their lives in danger are to follow the same instructions. Go!" Every one of the first three years followed the tiny professor and only a few fourth years did the same.
"Harry!" was heard by the people. All heads snapped towards the fates and behold, every Weasley was standing, with Ginny in the centre. "Ginny, what are you doing here?" he spoke as she launched herself at him for a hug. "Here to fight of course," George said, whipping out his wand. "We won't forgive those pesky death-eaters for doing so much harm to our family.," Roxanna said. Victoire found her way next to Delphini.
"I know!" Hermione said to everyone who would listen, "I know, we failed last time, but we will try our best not to this time. We need to kill a snake, it belongs to him. If we kill it and then kill him, consider that we win."
Whispers were heard as people discussed this new information amongst them. Albus furrowed his brows, "Finding the snake was one thing, but it was a horcrux, how would we kill it. No one here would perform the killing curse. "How do we kill the snake though?" Aquila asked, voicing Albus's thoughts, "We don't have a plan."
"I don't know," Hermione said furrowing her own brows. "I don't think we have time to come up with a plan, Look!" Fred said pointing a pale finger at the window behind the Professors' Seats.
