Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part One.
Azalea and Harry are stronger than ever, but when their paths split in two different directions, how will they survive without seeing one another for months? How will they survive as war finally breaks...

Azalea coughed, the air feeling thick as it swirled around her throat and her eyes heavy but she kept them very firmly open. This was their punishment and she hung there, in the unused dungeon of Hogwarts School where centuries ago, Reigna Joyce was originally intended to be held. In lack of other option, they had restored to old fashioned methods and she would hang there, by these chains for two hours. Her feet barely reached the floor, the brunette girl standing on the very edge of her shoes to reduce the weight straining against her arms. In only half an hour, her arms had grown tired.
"There's got to be a way out of here" Seamus stressed for the nth time. They were all there together, the rebel seventh years and it wasn't a particular surprise. They'd- collectively- gotten in the way since the very first day of term, over three months ago and it was only a matter of time before the Carrows found suitable punishment. Somewhere in her head, Azalea couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed in the teachers, collectively they had allowed this to happen to their school, they'd allowed two death eaters to change everything. The more rational side of Azalea, who wasn't clouded in anger, understood why. If the teachers spoke out, they would have the entire Death Eater army on their side.
"There's not," Neville stated, slouching in his chains because he at least was tall enough to stand on his own two feet. Absentmindedly, his eyes swept over the people he had come to love in the past few months. The Patil twins, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Cho Chang, Seamus Finnigan and Azalea Hogwarts, his new family.
"Only... An hour and a half to go." Ginny huffed, the only sixth year in attendance and she watched Cho opposite who was swivelling on the tips of her toes, doing her best to release the strain on her arms. They weren't surviving well at this new challenge.
"Do you think this is what Harry would do?" Neville suddenly questioned and they all turned to him. "Do you think Harry would rebel like we are?" Azalea couldn't help but softly smile.
"Harry is a rebel, Neville. He always has been, the first year, he stayed out of bed in the dark even when you told him not to. He flew his broom even though Hooch said he would get expelled for it. He crept into a secret vault to steal a stone because nobody would listen when he said someone was out to get it." Seamus laughed.
"Second year." Ginny began. "He again refused to listen to any of the rules put in place, he snuck around the place with his cloak. He flew a car here with my brother, almost destroyed the whomping Willow, went into the forbidden forest to follow some spiders... And he saved me from a vision in a diary."
"Third Year" Azalea started and they turned to her. "He refused to listen to anything anyone told him to do. Again. He almost got expelled for blowing up his auntie. He released a prisoner, went back in time with a time turner. Released a hippogriff that was sentenced to death... All because he didn't agree with it."
"Fourth year. Harry entered the triwizard tournament, an underage wizard. And he defeated all the odds, twisted all the rules to make them fit for him. He used a broom against the dragons, won the water challenge purely by saving more people than he was meant to. And tried to win the whole thing along with Cedric." Cho smiled softly.
"Fifth Year." Luna continued. "He refused to listen to a single word that came out of that woman's mouth, he stood up for what he believed in during every challenge, took the punishment he was handed and then earnt new ones. He broke into the ministry of magic with our help, all for the greater good."
"And last year." Ginny started softly. "He cheated in every single potions class he was given, used liquid luck to manipulate a teacher, went on a quest with Dumbledore... and fell in love right here." Ginny smiled softly at Azalea.
"So yes." the daughter of Hogwarts began, "I think that Harry would've rebelled, I think that he would somehow have managed to get into even more trouble with Ron and Hermione than even we have managed to get into. But things always work out okay for harry in the end because he is doing it all for the right reasons. Everything he does... Is for the greater good and we just have to remember that that is the reason that we're doing this. We're saving the world Neville, in our own little way."
"You really love him, don't you" Seamus spoke in almost awe, staring deeply as Azalea who shuffled in a bid to feel more comfortable in the dungeon.
"I love Harry more than anything. I love him so much that when the time comes, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save him..."
