Chapter 19- Training and War
Christmas Day was wonderful. Severus had gotten Hermione a Wiccan amulet that would protect her during the final battle, a beautiful new winter cloak made of red velvet lined with gold silk and the Gryffindor crest on the left side above her heart. Draco had given her a beautiful silver necklace with two heart with a sapphire in the middle. Harry Ron and Ginny all chipped in and bought her a book on Wiccan Magic and Neville had given her a shooting star charm for her charm bracelet.
After everyone had exchanged gifts, they headed down for lunch. A fresh blanket of snow covered the grounds. They all decided to go outside and enjoy it. Hermione and Ginny made a snowman while the guys got into a snowball fight with Hagrid. The guys were losing of course.
That night Hermione slept peacefully. The next day training resumed for her, Neville and Harry. They quickly told Albus about Hermione’s urges and their theory of maybe using that plus Harry and Neville’s Wiccan abilities to kill Voldemort.
“That would probably work. Hermione, the only way to control the urges is to know when to use them. If you were to focus all of those feelings of hatred and anger and projected them at Voldemort, along with Harry and Neville doing the same thing, that alone would or should do the trick.” Albus said.
“How do we do that?” Neville asked.
“There’s no better time to test if it can be done than now. Let us head outside and find and appropriate target.” Albus answered.
The four made their way to the grounds. Albus quickly found a tree that had died in the early winter storms. It was away from everything else and would be perfect. Albus cast a glamour charm and the tree took on the form of Voldemort.
“Now, here’s what I want you three to do. Draw on all the hate, anger and fear that you feel when you think of Voldemort. Then hold your left hands out in front of you pointing at the tree. Using your mind, push all those feelings out through your hands at the tree.” Albus instructed.
They nodded. They each closed their eyes and did as Albus said. They drew out their fears, their hate, and their anger. All three were glowing a different color. Harry was glowing red, Neville was glowing gold and Hermione was glowing silver. When they opened their eyes they used their minds and forced all their feelings out and at the tree.
Three beams of light, red, gold and silver, shot out of their hands and flew at the tree. A second after the lights hit the tree, it exploded. Leaving nothing but a large scorch mark in the snow where it had once been.
“Wicked!” Harry exclaimed.
“It worked! We did it!” Neville cried in excitement.
“Wow. That was…amazing.” Hermione whispered.
“Wonderful! Wonderful you three!” Albus clapped as he walked up to them.
“Now we know that it can be done, we know it could very well be the killing blow we need to deliver to Voldemort. Now, let us return to the castle and continue with combining your other Wiccan abilities.” Albus said.
Back inside Draco sat having tea with Severus.
“Sir, I’m worried about Hermione. Ever since the day Ron was attacked, she been acting different.” Draco said.
“Different? How so?” Severus asked.
“I don’t know. Not different in a bad way. Just stronger I guess. At times I will look into her eyes and see this harsh look in them.” Draco answered.
“That’s just because she’s embracing her Wiccan heritage. You see, her mother was the same way. The only difference between them is that Jocelyn wasn’t a fighter. Hermione is. Her whole life she’s fought. Whether it be at school or fighting to prove she belonged here, she has always fought. This is what you are seeing. Think of it as an evolution of her if you will.” Severus explained.
“So what do I do?” Draco asked.
“You do nothing. There’s nothing you can do. Except support her.” Severus answered.
The rest of the day Hermione, Neville and Harry trained. They had successfully combined their Wiccan abilities. Hermione was the stronger of the three, but each had their own strength. When training was over, Hermione was tired both physically and mentally. She immediately went to her dorm room and collapsed on the bed.
“Where’s Hermione, Harry and Neville?” Ginny asked at dinner.
“They are no doubt resting. The training they did today left them tired both physically and mentally. They will be good as new tomorrow. I have had the house elves send their dinner to their dorm rooms.” Albus answered.
IT was after noon when Hermione, Neville and Harry were seen again. Because they had done so well, Albus gave them the day off. Hermione, Draco, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Neville met up in Draco’s room to study. Anything to take their minds off their training and the final battle that was quickly closing in around them.
The winter holidays quickly passed. As Ginny predicted, the students whose parents were Death Eaters did not return. As well as many others whose parents felt they would be safer at home. The classes were smaller and meals were quieter. A few days after the start of the new term, Albus called an Order meeting. He also invited Draco and Neville who weren’t members, but knew just as much as the others members.
“Thank you all for coming here at such short notice. We have managed to get someone inside Voldemort’s lair. Our spy has managed to find out that Voldemort will be attacking Hogwarts in four months. Our spy has also said the Voldemort will be attacking on the 31st. The day that O.W.L’s, N.E.W.T’s and final exams will finish.
“Young Mr. Potter, Miss Snape and Mr. Longbottom here have made amazing progress in their training and we have found a way to destroy Voldemort. All the Order, the Aroras and our allies must do is give them a clear field to make their way to Voldemort.” Albus said.
“How can they destroy Voldemort?” Remus Lupin asked.
“By combining their Wiccan abilities. It’s time that you all know the truth. Harry, Hermione, and Neville are the heirs of Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. Voldemort is the heir of Slytherin, but since Salazar stripped his Wiccan magic from him, Voldemort is vulnerable to a Wiccan Magic attack. It is his Achilles’ Heel if you will.” Albus answered.
“Are you sure this will work?” Tonks asked.
“Yes. We have been practicing using their Wiccan abilities and they have all been successful. Now, we must begin our planning, but before we do, I would like to initiate Draco Malfoy, Hermione Snape, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom into the Order of the Phoenix.” Albus answered.
The Order agreed unanimously. After a short initiation, they began planning for the final battle. Four hours later the meeting concluded and everyone had their roles. Hermione, Neville and Harry would be with Albus, Minerva and Severus. The six of them would make the advancement on Voldemort himself. Everyone else would simply make sure the Death Eaters were out of their way.
“This is it.” Draco said as he sat on his sofa and Hermione stood at the window.
“Yes. In four months this will all be over one way or another.” Hermione replied.
“What do you mean one way or another?” Draco asked as he got up and walked to her.
“I mean we are either going to win or lose. Those are the only outcome in this war. Of course no matter which side comes out victorious, we all lose.” Hermione answered.
“Yes. We’ve all lost so much because of this war. But Voldemort will be brought down and we can then start to rebuild our lives and in our case, move on with our lives.’ Draco said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back against his chest.
