thanks guys. hpgeek1334 thanks for putting the story link on ur sig
Teddy was relieved from the hospital wing 2 days later. There had been many changes made to Hogwarts in those two day. Many Christmas decorations had been put up. There were 2 huge Christmas trees put up in the Great Hall and mistletoe had been strung up above benches and hallways. It was snowing as well. All of this lightened up Teddy's mood a bit. He was still guilty about what he had said to Lillia and he was still worried about Harry and the others but he was still happy to be out of the Hospital Wing. It was Christmas Break of course and he was trying to seek a conversation with Lillia, but she seemed to avoiding him.
Jack and Ted were having a major snowball fight in the Transfiguration Courtyard. They used there wand to increase the size and speed of the snowballs. It was great fun.
"Leave me alone" they heard a girl scream.
"Who the-" Ted said turning around to see the source of the noise.
It was Lillia. There were two Slytherins jinxing her. She tried to get up, but they seemed to be holding her down with their wands. Ted felt a great surge of anger in him. He stomped towards the Slytherins and Lillia with Jack behind him.
"OY" Ted called. The Slytherins turned around and gave them a nasty smile.
"Look who it is" said the bigger of the two.Ted recognized him as Dennis Clarke.
"Leave her alone Clarke"
"Why"
"Because I'll jinx you"
"I wanna see you try to take on me and Drail " he said indicating to the other Slytherin.
"Coward" Jack said, "You guys take on a defenseless girl two on one."
"You guys couldn't even take on a pixie two on one" Clarke answered back.
Both Teddy and Jack raised their wands and Clarke and Drail did the same.
"You defend us and I'll attack" Ted whispered to Jack who nodded slowly.
Lillia was watching and Ted really wanted to impress her.
"Expelliarmus"Ted yelled and the spell hit Clarke in the chest. Clarke's wand came flying to Ted.
"Stupefy-"Protego" were the cries of Jack and Drail dueling.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" Drail shrieked pointing his wand at Ted.
"Protego" Jack called just in time, and the spell was repelled to a high window that shattered. Nobody spoke. Even Drail was surprised of what he had done. Lillia was stepping back towards the wall. Jack was very very very very angry.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU" he yelled at Drail. Drail was whimpering.
"It was a accident" he squeaked. Ted knew that Drail hadn't meant to use that spell. Nobody would do that on purpose, not even Clarke.
"YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM"
"I-I just lost control"
Teddy stepped away and started walking away with Jack. Jack was furious, Teddy was very shocked. Lillia seemed to have followed them, but she was walking a few feet behind and not speaking. They ended up walking into the Gryffindor common room without really meaning to.
"Ted" Jacks croaked.
"Yeah"
"Did you see Drail's eyes"
"No"
"They we scarlet"
Ted looked up so fast that his neck cricked, "You don't think.."
Jack nodded darkly, "He was under the influence of the Imperius Curse."
"How"
"Remember that attack we had in October" Jack asked
Ted nodded,"You don't think......."
Jack again nodded,"They're still here"
***
Teddy woke up on Christmas Day to find a few presents sitting at the foot of his bead. He usually got a lot more, but since his family was in hiding, they couldn't risk sending one. He was wishing he could talk to Harry, but he had no idea how. Jack had gotten him a book about Quidditch Techniques and Teddy found it very interesting he sat looking up techniques for a while before turning to his other present. It was a lock with teeth and Teddy assumed it was from Hagrid. The last present was from Lillia. Ted felt guilty because he hadn't gotten her a present. It was a a new chess set. Not only was it knew,it was made out of glass. It probably cost a fortune, he thought. With that thought his guilt increased.
Jack was also opening up some presents at the bed next to Ted's.
"Wow, thanks Ted" Jack said opening Ted's present. It was a stack of Chocolate Frog Cards, and Jack loved collecting.
"Jack" Ted said looking down.
"Yeah" Jack answered still looking through his cards.
"I think I should make it up to Lillia today"
Jack looked up with a smile on his face,"Go ahead, and make sure you're under a mistletoe.
Ted walked into the Great Hall alone that day, leaving Jack behind to open the rest of his presents. He walked up to Lillia in the Ravenclaw Table.
"Lillia"
She turned around. She wasn't blushing or anything.
"I wanted to thank you for your present" he continued,"and can I have a word"
He led her to a bench in the courtyard.
"Lillia, I want to apologize. I was an idiot that day, and I wasn't thinking about your feelings." Jack said in one breath.
"It's OK" she whispered, "I should be the one apologizing"
"No, it was my fault all the way" Ted said.
Lillia didn't raise any objection.
"I thought I lost you Ted"
Ted didn't know what she was talking about.
"I thought I lost you yesterday, when he used that curse on you"she clarified,"I don't know what I would have done without you"
She scooted closer,"Mistletoe", she said pointing up
Ted looked up. They kissed. They kissed like they had never kissed before. It was beautiful and they didn't want it to stop.

"Did you see that"
"What"
"I just saw my godfather's head in the fire !"
Ted and Jack were sitting alone in the Gryffindor Common Room. It was very dark and the only light was from the dying fire in the fireplace. They were both kneeling towards the fireplace looking excited and confused.
"I saw him just here" Ted said excitedly.
"Maybe" Jack said uncertainly.
That's just when a head popped into the fireplace.
"Harry !" Ted whispered loudly.
There was no mistaken it was Harry. The untidy hair, lightning shaped scar, glasses, and green eyes proved that. Jack had jumped up by the sudden surprise. Harry wasn't looking very good, he was very pale and panicky.
"Ted, we have no time so I'm gonna get right to it." whispered Harry's head.
"What" Ted asked worriedly.
"I want you to go straight to Flitwick or whoever and tell them to get ready for open warfare"
"W-what!?!?!?"
"Listen Ted, I'm in a fireplace at Hogesmade. We saw the Death Eaters disappear into the forest heading towards the school."
"But, Harry they would never make it through the forest in one piece" Ted said optimistically.
"Ted, these are Death Eaters. They no magic that is unheard of and aren't scared of a few centaurs or a couple of werewolves. They'll do anything thing they can to get to you and the kids.", whispered Harry urgently.
"I'll go warn everyone" Jack said heading towards the portrait hole.
"Wait!" Ted called.
Jack stopped and turned.
"Take this, just in case" Ted said tossing him the Marauder's Map.
Jack caught it and ran out as Ted turned back to Harry.
"Ted, wake up the Gryffindors that are of age, make sure the others are safe" Harry said, than with a pop his head disappeared and the Ted was staring into a dying fire once again. He shuffled to his feet and set off in what his godfather had told him to do.
***
"Professor, I swear I'm not lying." Jack panted to Flitwick.
"How do I know for sure Jack. Death Eaters here ! It can be one of your pranks" Flitwick said looking up at Jack.
"I-"
There was a huge flash of green light. Flitwick turned his head towards hi office windows. His face became pale and he sunk to his knees.
"Oh no" he muttered.
Jack had also sank to his knees. It was the most horrifying site in the world. There was a Dark Mark over the Owlery, which was visible through the window. _________________
here's another entry. im gonna be on vacation for a week so the next time i will post is probably sometime next week. keep commenting
Ted was explaining what happened to all the Gryffindors.
"Listen up. We need all people of age to step out please. That's not you James." he added glaring at James Potter, "Nor you Al." he said glaring at Albus who was also stepping out.
"What happened" somebody asked from the crowd.
"It turn out the Death Eater have gotten past all our defenses"Teddy said loudly. Their was a sharp intake of breath from the Gryffindors as well as a air of panic. Teddy explained that all wizards and witches of age are to get ready for open warfare.
"This is going to be hard. Nobody is forcing you to fight. This will be your last chance to step back" he was talking to all the 7th years. Nobody moved. Teddy had been waiting for a chance to fight. He wanted to get revenge for his parents. He wanted to kill the Death Eaters even if he had to die doing it. The moonlight sneaked in through the window and bathed Teddy. Tonight, Teddy would have done anything to be a werewolf so he could rip the Death Eaters but tonight it wasn't even close to full moon.
"When do we attack" asked Amanda, a 7th year Gryffindor.
"When we are told" Teddy answered back.
Teddy thoughts went to Lillia. He was hoping she would stand back and not fight the Death Eaters. Teddy, who knew Lillia very well, would know she would do anything to fight Death Eaters because she also had relatives killed during Voldemort's rise. Teddy was scared, not for himself but for Lillia. He didn't want to lose her in this fight and that very thought made him feel despair.
"Teddy !" Jack came bursting into the door.
"What" Teddy said standing up.
"They've already taken someone Teddy," Jack panted. "There is a Dark Mark over the Owlery."
"What" Teddy whispered. "What did Flitwick say"
"Everyone who is of age to go to the Great Hall" Jack said ,still panting.
The 7th years started filing out. A great surge of excitement soared in Teddy. This is it ,he told himself, I'm finally going to be able to for my parents. They finally got to the Entrance Courtyard. It wasn't snowing, but it was very cold. The ground was under at least a foot of snow and the whole courtyard looked beautiful. There was only one blemish to the beautiful scenery though, it was the Dark Mark visible in the sky. All the students were looking up at it as they walked in their pajamas to the Great Hall. The Great Hall was already packed with Hufflepuffs as they filed in. Teddy observed the crowd and was actually surprised to see a few Slytherins as well. Flitwick and the other teachers were at the Staff Table discussing plans. Ted even caught sight of Harry and Ginny who were talking amongst themselves at the staff table.
"Harry," Ted called, "HEY HARRY!"
Harry turned his head to see the source of the noise. Ginny turned too. Both of them looked very tired and exhausted. Ron and Hermione, however, were no where in sight.
Ted ran up to the staff table straight to Harry.
"Hey Ted" Harry greeted him, smiling weakly.
"What happened to you two" Ted said looking up and down his godfather. "You look terrible"
"We've been on the run haven't we" Ginny answered. "They were actually targeting Harry, wanting to kill him. You know because Harry killed You-Know-Who"
Ted looked at his godfather, "I thought they were after everyone" ,he asked.
"They are Ted, but they are hoping to kill me to get revenge for Voldemort" he said as Ginny gasped at the sound of Voldemort's name.
"Why"
"Because they're stupid, they think they could bring Voldemort back to life if they use my blood" Harry answered, "It worked once, but it wont work again."
"Why is that"
Harry gave a small smile,"That's for me to know and you to find out."
Teddy felt slightly annoyed. Then he scanned the Great Hall for any sign of Ron and Hermione.
"Looking for the Ron" Harry asked as if reading his mind.
Teddy nodded.
"They were captured Ted" Harry said darkly, "I don't even know if they're still alive"
Teddy knees gave away at this news and he collapsed in shock, "Captured" he asked unbelievingly.
Harry had his head stuffed in his hand and nodded. _________________

"May I please have your total ,undivided attention." Flitwick squeaked to the crowd in the Great Hall. Every one fell silent at once. "I believe all of you know the situation, so I'm gonna get straight to the plan"
Everybody looked stony.
Flitwick continued, "We are all going be fighting in groups. Some of us will be out in the grounds fighting, others will stay in the castle to stop a break-in. It will also be a good idea to secure the towers. Be careful"
There was a great surge of movement as people started dividing themselves.
"Teddy, Jack !" Harry shouted. " You two will go with Ginny, me, and Hagrid"
Hagrid was standing over them with his pink umbrella in one hand. Teddy nodded, and turned back to look at the House Tables, where people had divided themselves into small groups. His eyes scanned the Hall for Lillia. There was a sudden explosion. The whole school seemed to shake and dust seemed to fall from the ceiling, which was black and sprinkled with stars.
"Attack" squeaked Flitwick. Some students went into grounds as others went deeper into the caste. Teddy and his lot went into the grounds to find a quiet scene in front of them.
"Where are they" Teddy asked to no one in particular. He looked up at his godfather to see him frowning at the forest. That's when hell broke loose. A huge blast seemed to shake the earth beneath them. Many people collapsed. There was a loud rumbling sound followed by silence.
"What the-" Teddy muttered himself up. Everyone was confused. Something was wrong. Where were the why aren't they showing themselves ? Soon everyone found out what that loud rumbling noise was. It came again in equal loudness and motion. People turned their heads towards the castle to find the source of the noise. One of the towers were collapsing. It was a terrible but beautiful sight at the same time. It seemed to happen in slow motion as the tower swayed for a while before finally crashing down away from the castle.
"Oh no" Teddy heard Harry mutter. Everyone just stood their in silence, there wand drawn out, looking around in hope of finding any sign of a Death Eater.
"EVERYBODY!" Harry bellowed to the crowd. "SECURE THE CASTLE FROM ALL SIDES AND BE CAREFUL"
There was another surge of movement as the fighters took their positions. Harry, Ginny, Hagrid, Teddy and Jack went towards the fallen tower. _________________
It was a mess. The tower was destroyed to rubble. Ted scanned the area, but could not see a Death Eater. Harry, however, didn't seem to be looking for an Death Eater, he was digging through the rubble. Teddy kept watch until he heard Harry moan.
"Oh no" Harry was saying. Teddy turned to see a horrific sight. There was a bloodied hand sticking out if the rubble.
"Help me levitate the mess out" Harry said drawing his wand,"Wingardium Leviosa"
Teddy followed his actions until the body was visible. Teddy didn't recognize who it was but he felt sorry for him. He was still breathing, and he had huge gashes all around him. Hagrid picked him up and ran towards the school. Teddy felt horrible. But he also boiled with anger. These Death Eaters were probably the worst human beings Teddy had ever encountered. Harry was talking to Ginny about something and Jack was looking around. There was suddenly the sounds of yells and screams, and Teddy knew the fight had finally started all around the castle.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" someone cried. Teddy turned to see a jet of green light heading towards Jack.
"PROTEGO" Teddy countered the curse as Death Eaters started filing out the forest towards the school and them.
Harry was running towards the Death Eaters, followed by Ginny. They immediately started dueling. Teddy and Jack stood their ground, waiting for an attack.
"Thanks" Jack muttered to Teddy.
"No problem, I owed you one anyways."
"I guess so" Jack said, "Here they come" Jack added casually as two Death Eaters were running towards them.
"You defend I'll attack", Jack whispered to Teddy and Teddy nodded back.
"Well,well,well" one of the Death Eaters said. He was behind a mask and he had his wand pointed at Teddy, so did the other Death Eater. Teddy's grip tightened on his wand.
"Good day Teddy" the Death Eater said. Teddy was surprised by the Death Eater knowing his identity, but he didn't loosen his grip.
"Who are you " demanded Teddy.
"My dear boy, you are in no position to ask questions" the Death Eater answered.
"We'll take you two" Jack said angrily.
The Death Eaters raised their wand higher. Teddy had to admit he was scared. He was shivering, bit not from the cold, but from the fact that this may be his last duel.
"You'll die Teddy" the Death Eater cackled. "Just like your stupid parents."
"What" Teddy whispered back.
"It was quite fun dueling them, but they were a piece of cake" the Death Eater continued. When Teddy didn't say anything he went on, " Your father thought he could take me, but I killed him. It was challenging of course, but your father wasn't the man who would use Unforgivable Curses. That was a huge advantage for me of course. I killed them both, your mother and you father," the Death Eater finished.
It seemed to Teddy that a bomb of anger had exploded inside him. He lunged himself at the Death Eater, dropping his wand. The Death Eater, however, raised his wand and yelled-
"CRUCIO"
The spell hit Teddy squarely on the chest. It was pain beyond pain. Teddy felt like he was going to die, but it was soon over. He lay like a crumpled heap on the cold grass. Jack rushed to his side. _________________
