Chapter 5

May 2

I finally wake up. I have somehow gotten into the Great Hall. I look around there are injured and dead people all around me.

"Edward," I hear a familiar voice.

It was Alice. Behind her was Jasper, Rosalie. and Emmett. Alice hugs me.

"Wh-What happened," I ask.

"You fell off the Gryffindor Tower," Alice replies.

"I remember that," I said. "But how long has it been?"

"A few hours," said Emmett.

"Is the battle over?"

The three look at each other. I look at them worried.

"Did Voldemort win?" I said with a worried voice.

"No," said Alice. "He didn't win. But the battle isn't over yet.''

"What happened to everyone?"

"Most of the people have either died or are injured," said Rosalie.

"And Harry?"

"He is by the Weasley family," said Japser. "Fred Weasley died in battle.''

I lay up from my bed. I am shocked.

"H-He died?"

Alice nods. "Professor Snape also.''

I continue to look shocked. I search to find the Weasleys. I see them Ron and his mother are on the floor with the Fred's dead body. I see Harry holding Hermione. I look back at Alice.

"What happened to the common room?"

"I got everyone out," said Alice. "Right after I thought you perished.''

"That's good," I said. "How did you know where I fell?"

"We searched for all over the courtyard under the debris," said Emmett. "It took us over forty minutes.''

"Do you remember anything at all," asks Alice.

"Nothing," I said. "It was like I died for a few hours. It was just, dark.''

Alice grabs my hand and smiles at me.

"We are all glad that you made it Edward."

I smile at Alice and a moment later I look behind Alice and see Harry Potter leaving the Great Hall. I look back at Alice.

"What did the nurse say about my condition,"  I asked.

"She said you got pretty bad cuts, but you will be fine, you need rest,'' said Alice.

"Where are the cuts?"

"Most of them on your chest and a few on your back.''

"How is the school?"

"Most of it is on fire," said Emmett.

"Is it okay if I can get some rest," I ask Alice.

Alice smiles at me.

"Sure," she said. "Come on guys," said Alice.

The four leave my bedside. I close my eyes. I think about what has happened in the past few hours. The Battle. Then I think about Bella. I hope she is okay. I miss her. I need her right now. I quickly fall asleep.




"Cullen, Edward!" yells a voice.

A version of my eleven year old self walk towards Professor McGonagall holding the Sorting Hat.

"Hufflepuff!" yells the Sorting Hat.

"He's back! Voldemort's back!" yells a fourteen year old Harry Potter with the dead Credric Diggory after the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament. I look in shock at Cedric's deady body. A fellow Hufflepuff and also a friend.

Harry is now crying over Dumbledore's dead body. Ginny comforts him. I watch as everyone puts there wands in the air. I look at Bella and we do the same. Severus Snape has murdered Albus Dumbledore.

I look back at the memories of me, Edward Cullen, from Forks, Washington. I am now in Scotland at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The past six years and next year will be the seven years of my life I will never forget.

I wake up. The sun has barely risen. I look around the Great Hall, it is empty. I turn to see the doors. They are closing slowly. I get up from my bed and walk towards the exit. I open the doors. I see people all over the main entrance. I push my way into the courtyard.

I walk towards Professor McGonagall. I stand next to her, I look at her. She looks sad, worried, hopeless.

I turn and see Voldemort and next to him is Hagrid carrying Harry. Harry's dead body! My eyes wide open.

"This can't be happening," I whisper to myself.

I cannot hear what Voldemort or what Neville is saying. Then Voldemort shoots a curse at Neville. Neville blocks it with Godric Gryffindor's sword. The curse hits Bellatrix Lestrange.

All of a sudden. I see Harry get out of Hagrid's hands. He runs towards Draco Malfoy who gives him his wand. Harry then casts spells at Nagini. The snake blocks the attacks. Voldemort now casts killing spells at Harry. Harry runs out of the courtyard, he pasts me and runs to the Grand Staircase. Voldemort follows him.

Death Eaters now begin to attack the school. A Death Eater shoots a spell at McGonagall, she does not take her wand out at time.

I run in front of McGonagall and use a blocking spell. The curse flies into the sky.

"Stupefy," I yelled.

My curse hits the Death Eater. I turn to McGonagall.

"Thank you Mister Cullen.''

"Anytime Professor."

I run into the main entrance and back into the Great Hall. Death Eaters now attack the Hall.
I casts spells at the nearest Death Eaters they fall to the floor. I run out of the Great Hall and into the main entrance.

I look at the Grand Staircase. I see Ron and Hermione trying to kill Nagini. I turn and run out into the courtyard.

I block spells at Death Eaters. I casts spells at them and either send them flying for falling to the ground.

The sky is now full of smoke from the burning Hogwarts. I look in astonishment. Death Eaters continue to try to attack the school.

I continue to cast spells at them. The curses hit the Death Eaters in the chest, legs, and arms.

This battle is for my life.
