Ella gathered her small group, instantly naming herself the leader of the group as she lead them to the tunnel gardens. Dementors were around them of course and Ella lit her wand, wondering where Adam was and if he was alright. Hopefully he would be and for some reason the necklace he had given her on her birthday was in her boot. Around Ella's right shoulder and across her chest she had put her bow, a faithful companion it was of course and in her back a compartment for arrows. She felt like Katniss Everdeen, except there was a good chance she would live.

"Watch for them, think of happy thoughts. Anything happy will do." Ella said brightly and pointed her wand up so the others could see Ella's face, she smiled somehow even in the schools darkest hour. It was the second attack and of course something was wrong with these Death Eaters.

"Expecto Patronum!" Ella yelled, thinking of Adam. The fight begun.

Liliana knew this was bad. They were being attacked. But she was still excited. She couldn't hold it. Lili loved the thrill.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!" She yelled with a huge smile as she stood next to Ella. A silvery mist in the form of a fox appeared at the tip of her wand.

It's Death again - He's always there -
Watching, waiting - e'er the stare!
Every time I look behind
Or reach to pull the window blind,
I catch a glimpse of grubby hood -
A little clue to where he stood;
The glint of light that caught the scythe.
Perhaps if I could pay a tithe…
But O! no use, he'll never go.
The adamant phantom; don't you know
He will but wait until it's time
For me to hear His fateful chime? -
The toll that claims my destiny,
To Hail: 'You're next, it has to be…'



///Poem by Mark R. Slaughter///

This was the end.

This was war and they would fight.

And she, Cate knew she would, she could die, and she would if she had to.

They were gliding towards her, and she closed her eyes, groping for a thought.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

She screamed, and from the tip of her wand the silvery mist spread, materializing into a horse, and huge, powerful horse, lighting the sky around them.
