I walked around our manor one last time. Even though my childhood here wasn't the happiest, this was the closest thing I had to home. I picked up a picture frame, the one from the Malfoy Ball. Next to me was Draco, before everything happened with him and the return of Voldemort. Behind me was my dad, the last picture I had with him.

"Rosie," I whispered to myself placing the picture frame down.

"Yes master?" Our house elf apparated into my room even though it was a small whisper. I almost forgot about her, I haven't been in the manor since my fourth year at the most. From my drawer, I pulled out an old pair of socks that I used to wear as a child.

"You're a free elf now," I whispered giving the sock to her. She looked at me, but her eyes weren't filled with joy. Instead, there was a hint of sadness and sympathy.

"Master has presented Rosie a sock, Rosie is free..." She said trying to smile. Maybe it's because she's aware of everything that's going on, our possible last time meeting.

"Leave and go somewhere far, if you need anything- Find Dobby," I said leaving the room not looking behind at the house elf. Fleur was standing in the doorway to the dining room. Inside, Gabrielle and Madam Natalia was eating dinner. I haven't seen Gabrielle since fourth year either and Madam Natalia since my second. I never got the chance to ever say goodbye or hold Gabrielle one last time.

"I can't do this," Fleur whispered looking away. I took my wand out of my pocket and pointed it at the two. Gabrielle, I never even had the chance to share time with you. I never even had the chance to be the big sister I wanted to be.

"Obliviate"

The photos of Fleur and I started to fade away in the house. Fleur couldn't look at the situation and walked out of the manor crying. She spent more time with the both of them than I did. Really, I feel terrible that I came to the point I'm only disappointed, not sorrowful.

I walked outside standing beside Fleur, she was trying to hide that she was crying. We started walking to the exact place dad died. I could feel my heart beat faster and I had to close my eyes taking a deep breath trying not to relive the memory.

"Are you ready?" I whispered not opening my eyes.

"Yes."

I looked back at the manor one last time before leaving to the nearest knight bus station. Apparating would be so much easier since my 17th birthday had passed, but we would be tracked.

~***~

When we arrived to Number 4 Privet Drive, everyone was already here. The order of the phoenix, Hermione, Ron, the Weasley twins, and Hagrid. Fleur rushed over to Bill kissing his cheek and leaning against his shoulders. He had brought a thestral with him, though I wasn't sure if Fleur could see them yet.

"Evelyn!" Hermione rushed over hugging me. I didn't notice at first, but she was crying. I could feel her tears on my shoulders. I didn't say anything and just hugged her back, I can only guess the sacrifices she made to help Harry find the horcruxes.

"Evelyn, I heard you and Harry were dating?" Alastor Moody walked over to Hermione and I. Hermione quickly backed away wiping her tears and standing beside Ron, everyone's attention was drawn to Moody and I.

"Yes sir," I replied weakly.

"I want you to grab some hair from him, for the polyjuice potion."

"He's not going to like that idea."

"It's what needs to be done."

I didn't reply and just nodded.

"You first," Moody said standing aside and motioning me to knock on the door. I slowly walked up to the door keeping an emotionless face, one that I kept for my entire first and second year almost. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door and backed away. The door slowly opened revealing the man I loved the most, only then I could smile.

"Evelyn," He whispered smiling. I ran up to him hugging him tightly seeking the comfort I had lost. I backed away keeping my eyes on him, he's the only thing left that keeps me sane.

"Harry!" Hermione rushed over swinging her arms around him followed by Ron. After Hermione, Ron, and I were done greeting Harry, the rest of the people walked in starting with Moody. Moody directed everyone towards an empty room, the living room I remember.

"Hello Harry," Bill walked over towards Harry with Fleur holding out his hand. His face was still badly scarred from Fenrir.

"Bill," Harry said shaking his hand.

"He was never always this handsome."

"Dead ugly," The Weasley twins said walking into the living room.

"True enough, Owe it all to a werewolf with the name of Greyback. Hope to repay the favor one day."

"You're still beautiful to me," Fleur said kissing his cheek.

"Fleur," Harry said taking a deep breath, visibly getting nervous, "You didn't have to come today."

"You helped my sister, I owe you this."

"Just remember, Fleur, Bill takes his steaks on the raw side now," Professor Lupin said laughing as he walked inside. I didn't notice that he was here once I arrived, neither did I notice Tonks.

"My husband, the joker. By the way, wait till you hear the news. Remus and I--"

"All right. We'll have time for a cozy catch-up later. We've got to get the hell out of here. And soon. Potter, you're underage, which means you've still got the Trace on you," Moody said cutting off Tonks.

"What's the trace?" Harry asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"If you sneeze, the Ministry will know who wipes your nose. We have to use those means of transport the Trace can't detect: Brooms, Thestrals and the like. We go in pairs. That way, if anyone's out there waiting for us, and I reckon there will be... They won't know which Harry Potter is the real one."

"The real one?"

"I believe your familiar with this particular brew," Moody said grabbing a poly juice potion out of his pocket.

"No! Absolutely not!" Harry snapped.

"I told you he'd take it well," I said crossing my arms and sighing.

"No, if you think I'm gonna let everyone risk their lives for me, I-"

"Never done that before, have we?" Ron muttered.

"No. No. This is different. I mean, taking that, becoming me. No."

"Well, none of us really fancy it, mate," Fred said with a mischievous grin as always.

"Imagine if something went wrong, and we ended up a scrawny, specky git forever," George added on.

"Everyone here is of age, Potter. They've all agreed to take the risk," Moody also added on a bit more seriously.

"Technically," A strange short man that I don't recognize walked up towards Harry from behind me, "I've been coerced. Mundungus Fletcher. Mr. Potter. Always been a huge admirer."

"Nip it, Mundungus. All right, Evelyn, as discussed." Moody said looking over at me. I was hesitant at first, but walked over pulling pieces of hair out of Harry's head just before he could react.

"Blimey Evelyn," Harry exclaimed grabbing the back of his head where I had ripped the hair out. I didn't reply or look back, instead just put the pieces of hair inside the polyjuice potion. Harry walked over to the very front of the room facing everybody while Moody mixed the potion. Everyone had worried looks on their faces, I just kept the same emotionless face staring into the floor.

"For those of you who haven't taken Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning: It tastes like goblin piss," Moody said walking over to Fred and hanging him the potion.

"Have a lot of experiences with that, do you, Mad-Eye? Just trying to diffuse the tension," Fred joked before drinking the potion. Followed by him, George drank it, then Fleur, until it came to my turn.

"Evelyn, you don't have to do this-" Harry said waking over towards me.

"It's the right thing to do Harry," I replied taking a sip of the potion before passing it on to Hermione. I definitely did not miss the taste of polyjuice potion at all. Although, since it was made much better than how we Hermione and I made it in the second year, it wasn't too bad.

I grew a bit taller and I could just feel my face starting to change into Harry's. It wasn't painful, it just felt like a huge bubble was floating around inside my skin. Once I had stopped feeling the uncomfortable chilling sensation, I looked around to see everyone had changed into Harry.

"Wow, we're identical," The weasley twins said in unison looking at each other.

"Not yet, you're not," Moody said dumping a pile of clothes Harry was wearing. We all rushed over grabbing a set of shirt, pants, and a jacket with some glasses. I didn't exactly like the idea of stripping in front of everyone, especially when I was Harry. I'm sure Harry didn't like that either, he was visibly uncomfortable.

"Haven't got anything a bit more sporting, have you?" George- Or at least I think said.

"I don't really fancy this color," Fred added on.

"Well, fancy this, you're not you. So shut it and strip," Moody muttered, "You'll need to change too, Potter."

"Bill, look away. I'm hideous," Fleur said handing him her bra. I was the only one who hadn't started changing yet, anyone could tell how uncomfortable Harry and I were in the situation.

"If you want, you could go to another room," Harry stuttered.

"No, it's fine," I replied taking my shirt off. Even though it was his own body, he immediately looked away.

"Right, then. We'll be pairing off. Each Potter will have a protector. Mundungus, stick tight to me.I wanna keep an eye on you. As for Harry-"

"Yes?" We all replied to Moody in unison.

"The real Harry. Where the devil are you, anyway?"

"Here," Harry replied raising his hand.

"You'll ride with Hagrid."

"I brought you here 16 years ago when you were no bigger than a Bowtruckle. Seems only right that I should be the one to take you away now," Hagrid said.

"Sir, I'm not really good at riding a broom," I said cautiously stepping out of the crowd of Harrys.

"7 years at Hogwarts really taught you nothing. Go with Bill and your sister," Moody muttered, "Let's go."

We all headed outside the house taking out our brooms. Bill picked Fleur and I up placing us on top of the Thestrals before climbing on himself. Fleur had her arms wrapped around Bill's waist and I had mine wrapped around Fleur's, my wand tightly in my grip.

"Did you know thestrals are my patronus?" I said leaning against Fleur's back.

"Really? What do they look like?"

"Beautiful."

"Head for the Burrows, we'll rendezvous there," with Moody's orders, we all prepared to take off. "On the count of three. One... Two... Three!"

We all took off, Harry and Hagrid flying a bit further away from the rest of us on their motorbike. We shot you high into the air and into the clouds where muggles won't see us. There were lightning in the clouds, and soon clouds of dark mist started to follow us. Death eaters, they were here, figuring out our plan.

"Stupefy!" I shouted shooting a spell at one death eater that was catching up to us. Everyone else was being attacked, not only us. None of them were on Harry yet since Hagrid and Harry were traveling further away.

"Diffindo!" I casted another spell at one of the death eaters that were catching up to Moody and Mundungus. Mundungus let out a shriek, absolutely terrified. Instead of flying tight beside Moody, he flew away downward fleeing from all the chaos.

"Damn it Mundungus!" Moody spat. He was vulnerable, he was alone having to protect himself from a swarm of death eaters chasing after him. Fleur and I tried our best to help out whilst keeping ourselves safe. Many different nonverbal spells were being shot everywhere.

A strange eerie vibe took over the clouds and all the death eaters stopped attacking me. Chills went down my spine and I could feel my body stiffen. I turned around to see the man I once feared more than anything. His snake-like features, pale white skin, he was the reason for all this chaos. Bill and Fleur were busy fighting off the death eaters on them and those chasing after Moody.

"Expelliarmus!" I yelled pointing my wand at him thinking of a spell Harry would most likely use in this situation.

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted back pointing his wand at me. I was quick enough to deflect it, luckily. Although, it happened so fast. Maybe a millisecond later and I'd be dead by now.

He raised his wand for another strike when a white owl flew right past us towards Hagrid's motorbike, Hedwig. Hedwig flew over towards Harry flying in between him and a curse one of the death eaters shot leading it to be hit by the killing curse.

"NO!" I could hear Harry yell as Hedwig fell down from the air, dead. I didn't have much time to waste and turned back toward Voldemort who had just seen the same exact thing. Hedwig was Harry's owl, the only person Hedwig would know to sacrifice for was Harry.

"Stupefy!" I yelled raising my wand toward Voldemort once again. He deflected it with no ease, shooting another spell to my direction. Once again, it was an extremely close call. By the time I looked back up, he was gone. I started to panic, he was after Harry- The real one.

"ALASTOR!" Bill shouted followed by Fleur's scream. I turned to face where the two were facing to see Moody falling off of his broom completely lifeless.

"Don't stop!" I shouted looking away from the falling body.

"Avada Kedavra!" A death eater shot another spell at me. Compared to Voldemort, it was much easier to deflect.

"Fuck off already!" I yelled getting ready to shoot another spell. The death eater and I continued shooting spells at each other as we were nearing the burrow. We were so close, just so close.

I was getting extremely tired and deflecting the spells just slowly got more exhausting. I got caught off guard and didn't notice one of the spells hitting the thestral we were riding. It let out a shriek, diving straight down onto the ground. Only then, the death eaters all finally gave up on us.

The thestral continued to fall down struggling to stay in the air. Fleur, Bill, and I's screams along with the shrieks from the thestral were the only things that could be heard. Once we made impact, we all stumbled off the Thestral rolling on the floor groaning in pain. The impact wasn't too great because of the Thestral's effort to try and keep on flying. The effect of the polyjuice potion all gone and I was back to myself again.

"Evelyn!" I looked up from the floor groaning to see Harry running towards me absolutely panicking. Behind him, Professor Lupin ran towards me panicked as well, except with a wand pointed at me.

"What did I tell you the night before Christmas last year?" He asked aggressively standing over me still with a wand pointed at me.

"Professor Lupin, please! She's not in the right state to talk!" Harry yelled kneeling down beside be. He was absolutely right, my ears were ringing and I was exhausted.

"What did I tell you the night before Christmas last year?!" Professor Lupin asked again.

"It's times like these we need someone to rely on," I said catching my breath. He looked at me sighing before finally taking his wand away from me and walking back inside the house.

"Lets get you inside, you need to rest," Harry said moving a piece of hair out of my face.

"Yeah, I really do," I replied pulling myself back up grabbing my head.

"Are you alright?" Fleur walked over with her arms around Bill.

"Yeah, never better."

"The thestrals, they really are beautiful," She said before walking back inside the burrow with Bill.

"I'm sorry about Hedwig Harry, I saw what happened," I said grabbing his hand.

"...It's fine. Let's go," he said following Fleur and Bill into the burrow. Inside, everyone was gathered around a couch. On the couch, George was laying down. Fred walked over kneeling down beside Mrs. Weasley looking after his twin. George's ear was badly injured, I couldn't even tell if he even had one still. Ginny was also inside taking care of Fred, although she didn't even bother looking my direction.

"How're you feeling Georgie?" Fred asked.

"Saint-like," George replied weakly.

"Come again?"

"Saint-like, I'm hole-y. I'm hole-y Fred, get it?" George said laughing slightly pointing at his bloody ear.

"The whole wide world of ear-related humor and you go for 'I'm holey.' That's pathetic," Fred scoffed softly.

"Reckon I'm still better-looking than you."

"Mad-Eye's dead. Mundungus took one look at Voldemort and fled," Bill said in a rather serious tone. The slight bit of cheerfulness in the room completely died out. The only remaining were the feeling of despair, and feeling hopeless.
