Part 32

It's finally happening, the war is coming to an end. Either Harry or Voldemort wins, there's no in-between.

Just as I ask Harry "What can I do to help?" the barrier protecting us from the outside world collapses, breaking into a thousand different pieces. I ran to the window and it looked like stars falling from the sky, it was oddly beautiful but that did not take away the fear that now sets in.

There's explosions coming from downstairs. Screams echoing through the hall ways, I turn to Harry to only see he has gone. He probably knows what he is doing anyway.

I dart down the stairs towards all of the commotion, spells are flying everywhere and there is already students lying dead scattered along the corridors. It's frightening.

I barely dodge a death spell flying straight towards me, I only see the hair of the witch. Bellatrix.

I chase after her, sending spells towards death eaters attacking the other students. Without thinking I am outside Hogwarts already. She knows I'm following her.

'Well, well if it isn't the blood traitor' She spits slipping her knife into her right hand.

I stay quiet, not daring to move. You may call me a coward but this woman has hated me since the day I was born and would give anything to be able to stab me with her knife and laugh over my body.

'You know, the dark lord has said to kill anyone that gets in our way' She smirks.

'That would be you Snape' She while grinning. Suddenly a movement behind her gains my attention.

'Stupefy!' The voice called and they sent Bellatrix flying knocking her out cold.

'Are you okay? I heard mother talking to someone' Raven runs over and wraps her arms around me.

Out of no-where Greyback, Corban Yaxley, Antonin Dolohov and Lucius Malfoy appear out of the darkness walking slowly towards us.

I turn my head to Raven who looks scared just staring at the death eaters in front of us. Bellatrix still is out cold lying on the floor while the other four are now coming towards us at a great speed.

'Faye you have to go!' She shouts but I shake my head. 'Not without you, come on!' I try to grab her wrist but she won't allow it.

'Only you can end this Faye, You have to find Mattheo. Never leave him, Do you hear me?' She softly says as Fernir Greyback snatches Bellatrix's knife and comes dangerously close to us.

'Go, Ill keep them busy' I shake my head vigorously while tears grow into my eyes.

'I can't leave you' I cry out and she turns around. Suddenly her eyes widen and tears are drowning my vision.

'Faye..' She breathes out as her body collapses onto the floor. I let out a scream and I don't notice all of the death eaters disappear again into the castle.

'No, no Raven! no stay with me' I shout at the top of my lungs as the life drains out of her eyes. Tears stream down my face as someone drags me away from her.

'NO, LET ME GO' I shout.

'Faye look at me, look at me' I hear Mattheo's soft voice in my ear. He sounds like he's holding back tears of his own.

'She's- she's gone' He croaks out. I wrap my arms around him and cry into his shoulder.

'It's my fault, I begged her to stay. I made her stay' I cried out as he rubs my back.

'No, it's not'

But it is........
