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 Hogwarts couldn't help but be utterly stumped by how ridiculous their plan was. Currently, she was walking comfortably through the forbidden forest with Seamus, Neville and Hagrid. They had detention... Again and she couldn't exactly say that they didn't deserve it. Seamus and Neville had created a grand master plan to swipe the sword of Gryffindor right from underneath Snape's nose, for Harry. How they planned on getting it to him, she wasn't sure. But what they hadn't accounted for in their plan, was Andrew. The precious first year Hufflepuff had only wanted to help, and it ended up ruining their plan altogether.
As a result, the three boys had been given detention and Azalea had happily taken the detention upon herself. The Carrows seemed all too eager to give her detentions, even if she hadn't done anything wrong. That was what led them to that moment, walking through the dense foliage, looking for nothing in particular as they patrolled the area. It was definitely preferable to having detention in the dungeons. Azalea was certain that her limbs had stretched from all the hanging around they did.
"Trust you three to get into trouble." Hagrid shook his head but didn't sound too disappointed. "You're as bad as Hermione, Ron and Harry." he chuckled and the three present exchanged glances, definitely not seeing the likeness.
"Have you heard anything from them?" Seamus questioned in quiet concern and Hagrid's gaze instantly snapped down to stare at them, his eyes catching on Azalea's that stared at him intently, just wanting to hear something... anything to indicate that they were still alive.
"Apparently, some of the portraits say that they've been at headquarters." Hagrid shrugged, knowing that they would all understand what that meant. "The spells and whatnot the order cast for protection were triggered, means someone's been there, don't it?" Azalea couldn't help but feel slightly warmed at the thought of Harry, and she couldn't help but wonder if he thought about her too, if he spent sleepless nights replaying the times they had spent together in his head. She liked to think that he missed her just as much as she missed him, but at the same time, she wished he didn't. Azalea didn't want to feel the pain that she felt in his absence every day. Minor things were so different now, without him.
"I wonder how they are doing, on their mission." Neville frowned, not half as scared of the forbidden forest as he had once been. There were scarier things living in the castle than there was in the forest.
"I hope they're nearly finished." Seamus huffed. "Not sure how much longer we've got left before the Carrows bring in the big guns." he shook his head. "They're about ready to kill us all."
"Don't say that" Hagrid huffed, but he knew that it was absolutely true. As much as the teachers were trying to help the students, they were very aware that they weren't much good. Hagrid knew that the students were tortured every day in that precious school, under his own nose and all he could do was watch. The half-giant was skating on thin ice already,they were all about ready to kill him for his half-breed status.
"Have you had any more visions lately, Zee?" Seamus questioned and she frowned, having reported to them every vision she had had. They'd made a mood board of all the things they must remember not to do. For instance, Fred Weasley must steer clear of Augustus Rockwood at all costs, they didn't know why but they weren't going to question it. She'd also persisted on Lavender Brown staying far away from Fenrir Greyback- something which she fully intended on doing regardless of the vision.
"May"
"What?" Hagrid questioned.
"It happens in May" she nodded and they stared at her, they didn't know if she was right but they knew that they would trust that deadline, at least until they were proven wrong. It meant that they had five months left of torture at the school before they could finally complete the battle to end it all.
"That's not too far away" the half-giant frowned, mind whirring, thinking about all the horrible things that were happening in the world. Muggles and Muggleborns were dying all over the place, along with blood traitors. None of them was safe anymore, not even the purebloods. "Are you all stayin' safe up there?"
"We are" Neville smiled somewhat mysteriously. "We have some outside help."
"Do Yeh?"
"Yep," Seamus beamed. "Aberforth Dumbledore has decided to help us out. Suppose we can thank Zee for that one, turns out she apparently met him once. I don't know, doesn't really matter now, does it? He's been helping us out for weeks."
"That's great" Hagrid beamed slightly, at least grateful that someone was helping out the poor children. If he was being perfectly honest, Hagrid didn't understand why the teachers hadn't helped more. As the half-giant looked down at the three around him, he could see they'd had a hard time, they were battered and bruised but they still looked determined to fight, they did not even show any fear as they walked through the forest full of deadly creatures.
