When Viola Lupin found out Harry Potter had bought all the sweets from the trolly, she automatically decided she didn't like him.
When Harry Potter heard Viola Lupin laugh at Draco Malfoy's joke, he au...

Viola took a sip of the potion Professor McGonagall had given her. A wave of warmth warmed her body making her relax slightly.
"Better?" McGonagall asked
"A little" Viola shrugged "they're still gone. Harrys still gone to die. We've still lost"
McGonagall sighed taking a seat beside Viola.
"I'm going to loose everyone I love today" Viola whispered as her tears reformed in her eyes "and it'll break me. I don't want to be broken Professor"
"You won't be" Professor McGonagall smiled gently "you'll be just fine. Now it might be hard, but you'll get there eventually"
"Where will I go? What's for me here when everyone's dead? I should head off to France. Live in my grandfathers manner. I'd never have to see anyone again"
"Is what you really want? What about the Weasleys? What about Neville, Hermione, Dean and Seamus? What about Teddy?"
"They don't need me. They have their people, I'm not one of them. I'll take Teddy with me. He'll grow up in the vineyard by the sea. It will all be okay again"
"You can't run away, no matter how tempting it must be" McGonagall sympathised
"What's keeping me here? My parents are dead, my boyfriends going to be dead. My friends don't need me anymore, Nevilles grown up. He doesn't need me to protect him anymore"
"Viola, you've done so much for everyone in Hogwarts. Half the students that are alive right now are in debt to you. From organising Dumbledores army, to thinking quickly on escorting them out of the castle, to laying down your life to fight for others. You should be proud"
"But it's my fault they're dead, mum and dad. They died trying to protect me" she let out a singular sob
"I do not think for one minute that they would not do it one hundred times over. They loved you, they really did"
"I know that. They proved it every day to me"
McGonagall was pulled away by the other Professors leaving Viola alone once again. She felt as if she was suffocating.
Walking out into the courtyard she took in a deep, inhaling heavily. She watched as Neville limped over the rubble, picking up the sorting hand that laid upon the floor. She hobbled down to Nevilles placing a hand on his shoulders.
They started limping down together as the remaining death eaters approached the castle, infront of them Hagrid. Voldemort glided forward, standing before the students and professors at Hogwarts.
"No" Viola whispered as she looked upon the body that was being held in Hagrid's arms. She knew he'd gone to die, but it didn't make it any less agonising.
"Harry Potter... is dead!"
"No!" Viola screamed running forwards just as Neville pulled her back
"Silence!" Voldemort shouted "stupid girl, Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth, you put your faith in me... Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort shouted with joy and the death eaters cheered "and now is the time to declare yourself. Come forward and join us, or die"
The courtyard fell into silence as everyone looked around.
"Draco!" Lucius called "Draco!"
"Draco...come" Narcissa pleaded as Draco swallowed thickly
Viola looked down at her shoes as Draco started walking towards the opposite side
"Ah, well done Draco. Well done" Voldemort said patting him awkwardly.
Violas head snapped up as Neville let go of her hand. Clasping her hand over her mouth she watched as Neville hobbled forwards "no Neville!" She pleaded "stop it! Come back! Not you as well!"
Neville just ignored her and carried on walking forwards, the hat in his hand.
"Well, I must say. I hoped for better" Voldemort spoke as he took in Nevilles appearance "and who might you be young man?"
"Neville Longbottom"
The death Eaters roared with laughter at the name. Viola felt practically ill. Seamus ran forwards holding her upwards, preventing her from collapsing.
"Well Neville, I'm sure we can find a place for you in our ranks"
"I'd like to say something!" Neville shouted
"Well Neville, i think we'd all be fascinated to hear what you've got to say"
"It doesn't matter Harry's gone"
"Stand down Neville!" Seamus shouted as he felt Viola break a little bit more
"People die everyday. Friends, family. Yeah, we lost Harry tonight, but he's still with us, in here" he said pointing to his heart. "So is Fred and Remus, Rosaleé all of them. They didn't die in vain! But you will! Because you're wrong! Harry's heart did beat for us, for all of us! This is not over!" Neville screamed pulling the sword of Gryffindor out of the sorting hat as everyone gasped at the sight.
Suddenly, Harry dropped out of Hagrid's arms. Jumping and sending a spell at the snake.
Viola let out a whimper as she watched Harry jump up. He was alive. His heart was still beating and he was still breathing. Mustering all her strength she stood up in her own, pulling her wand out of her pocket.
"Get back into the castle!" Mr Weasley shouted pulling everyone inside
Viola fought in the great hall, spells flew around her as she looked over to Mrs Weasley duelling Bellatrix.
Suddenly Bellatrix burst into a flurry of ash before them.
She let out a gasp of relief watching the woman fade into nothing.
Sitting with Seamus, Dean and Aberforth, Viola bandaged up deans arm and wiped away the blood. She sat quietly while the others chatted. Looking around the room she watched everyone interact, start to heal. Spotting a head of messy hair she jumped up from her seat and ran over.
Throwing her arms around Harry she sobbed into his chest "i thought you were gone. I thought you were gone!"
"Shh" Harry replied stroking her hair as he held her tightly "it's okay, I'm here". Harry guided her to the side of the room, sitting her down beside him "it's all over Vio. He's gone now"
Viola nodded slowly, fiddling with the buttons on his jacket, "I don't know what to do Harry" she whispered "mum... dad"
"I know" Harry replied "we'll leave here, we'll get Teddy and find a quiet place to stay, away from everything here and everything will be alright again"
