Lightning *Fred Weasley Love Part 2*

End Game Part 48

The sky was completely clear when we walked outside of the Castle
My mum and my dad's stars were gently flickering
Usually they are both chaotically flashing at me but this time I believe their sign is of good luck and comfort
They are with me always

I took a deep breath
Fred took one beside me

Our group protecting the front of the castle included the twin Slytherins, Mr.Weasley, Fred, myself, Professor Flitwick, a handful of Ravenclaws I recognized and Professor McGonagall

I looked up at Fred and his face was pure stillness
We were part of the front lines, the only other group ahead of us was the one led in the skies by Charlie and Sorina
They had extra dragons to ride into battle with and they brought over witches and Wizards who they found on their journey
The ones not on dragons were riding brooms and thestrals

Fred turned to look at me and put his hands on my shoulder
"You are strong you are brave you will not let him take over your mind" he whispered so only I could hear his words of encouragement
Fred knew my fears
He knew that at any moment Voldemort could take over my mind, or call me to him with my dark mark
But he stood by me, making me feel stronger than I felt
"Deep breath" he said to me

We both breathed in to a count of 10 and then released it to a count of 10
We did this twice before we heard our signal

The bridge that led from the forest to Hogwarts was being blown up by Seamus Neville and Dean, that would be our signal that the fight has began

I looked off to where that noise came and I saw Debris falling down into the abyss below it
I hope they made it out alive

"Electra" Fred said now facing forward "I love you"

I felt my eyes swell up but I pulled myself together
"I love you more"
He squeezed my hand

Two dragons with Charlie and Sorina on them rode above us and towards the field where the protection spells was being blown apart

Harry left to go find a place to destroy the Horcruxes he had with Hermione and Ron
The signal was loud enough to warn them of the time they had left to destroy them
Harry pulled me aside before he went off

"Electra" Harry said when he pulled me away from our group in the Great hall

"Yes?" I asked

"I have a feeling I am a Horcrux. I can see into his mind and speak to snakes. I haven't told Hermione or Ron yet..."

I began trembling
"Harry that means..."

He pulled me into a hug
"Yes"
It meant he would have to die for us to defeat Voldemort
I cried for the brother I should have had growing up
I cried for the life he should be having with Ginny after the war
I cried for losing one of my best friends

"Electra there is one more problem" he said holding me "I don't know for a fact but there is a great chance you are one too"

I was stunned
I couldn't speak or breathe properly
My breathing was shallow and my heart stopped
I was glad we were away from our friends and family, I didn't want them hearing this

"I don't know for a fact, but you have the same traits that I do. You could see into his mind, you were hit with the killing curse, you have some of his power" he gave me a list of reasons why I am more than likely a Horcrux too, made by accident just like Harry

But that meant I would have to die too
I wouldn't be able to spend a long life with Fred
I wouldn't be loved by him in our lake house we planned to build
I wouldn't have children with the man I've loved my entire life
I would leave behind the other half of my soul
I would die

"you might not be" he said comforting me "The prophecy said that both Voldemort and I can't live while the other does, it didn't mention you...it's just my speculation. I want you to be prepared for the worst of what could come"

"Electra focus" Mr.Weasley said noticing my body shaking "you can do this"

No I can't
Because even if I do...I lose

The shield came down completely now
Sparks of a failed shield came down from the sky

Sorina and Charlie's dragons roared a deadly battle cry, signally the rest of the flying unite into action
Please stay alive

I saw in the distance, trolls and giants that got passed the fire being thrown their way
I saw giant spiders that once listened to Hagrid but chose the other side
I saw werewolves and dark wizards running towards the castle on Voldemort's command
I saw dark shadows race passed us going straight for the castle by apparating
I saw death running for my friends and family

Fred couldn't protect me, because in the end I had to die
All I have to do now is make sure he survives for the both of us

A battle scene unfolded in front of our group
Fred battled against a werewolf slashing his claws at his face
Mr.Weasley battled against a death eater I recognized from meetings I was in at one point
The professors battled against the largest troll I've ever seen and his giant battle axe

I used my wand to battle a death eater I didn't recognize but I assumed he came from the ministry with the uniform he had on

"Avada Kedavra!" He yelled towards me but I jumped to the ground to dodge it
Without my bracelet I was in danger of all spells not just the killing kind
Fred wasn't though
I shot the stunning spell at him and he went down completely stilled
I got lucky, he was focused on a spell that was flown his way

I looked to where the spell came from and saw spells deflecting off of Fred and getting sent back to anyone who stood in front of him
His normal carefree attitude has changed so much over the years
We have all changed
Now Fred battles like a veteran Auror

Blast came from behind me indicating the battle ready soldiers that Professor McGonagall sent out where falling down
One by one crashes shook the ground and the walls around us crashed with each spell that got deflected their way

Fire was being shot down onto the ground by dragons and boulders that the flying team sent down at the trolls were crashing into more than just them
Causalities were to be expected but they weren't holding back, I saw one boulder hit a student who was crushed underneath it

I tried levitating it off of him but it was too late
I ran to his side and his entire face was crushed in, along with his broken body
This is hell
