"Ah. The new Mistress Black. Bellatrix, you must be very proud of your niece as she stepped forward towards us." Voldemort said which only made Bellatrix laugh madly.

"I lost my uncle." Aquila spoke. "I lost my mom, then my dad, then Moony and Nymphy. And now I lost Harry. I lost a lot of people. You claimed to be the strongest wizard in history. Can you bring them back to me?" She asked.

"Those people made you weak, dear Aquila. You have us now."

"And you think I want to join you? If you can't bring them back to me then you are of no use to me." Aquila said as she creates an orb made of light and energy with wandless and wordless magic. All of the death eater's wands were raised towards her.

No one expected Draco to run and throw a wand at Hagrid's direction. "POTTER!"

Harry suddenly caught the wand and leaped out of Hagrid's arms. "Confrigo!"

Flames engulfed the snake while he ran behind a wall. Before Voldemort or anyone could shoot a spell at Harry, Aquila threw them the orb which made them fly back. The order quickly lead the others back inside the great hall.

Then the fighting started again.

To the wizards and witches' surprise, the Centaurs, led by Firenze came to their aid. So did the giant squid, hippogriffs, Azalea, the dragon from Gringotts which was magically bonded to Aquila, and the house elves led by Kreacher.

"Fight! Fight in the name of good Master Regulus and pure Mistress Aquila!"Kreacher shouted as he used his pans as his weapons.

With her wand still somewhere in the astronomy tower, Aquila's only weapon is the pistol she stole from her uncle. She was making all the bullets count. She shot death eaters in the hands where they held their wands or somewhere that could immobilize them. Then she saw someone she never thought she'd ever see again.

"I should've killed you the day I first saw you and I had the perfect chance." Evan Rosier sneered with his wand pointed at her.

"I wouldn't make the same mistake as you did, dear uncle." She said before she shot him in the head. "Carpe diem, bitch." She spat at her dead uncle's body.

Then Aquila saw Ginny battling Bellatrix. She wants to be the one to end her. She took two important people from her, and both were their families. She wave her hand to the side making Ginny fly out of Bellatrix' way. She then stepped in.

"Ah the filthy blood traitor niece of mine. Have you seen what I did to your cousin?" Bellatrix laughed madly.

"I did, aunty Bella. I'm actually here to return the favor." She pointed the gun at Bellatrix and shot her in her right shoulder making her aunt shriek in anger and pain. She then shot her again in her left thighs.

"How dare you!" Bellatrix roared. "Diffindo!" Bellatrix shouted but her spell was blocked by someone.

"Portego Maxima!" Narcissa casted. "Not our niece, sister." Then Narcissa casted a wordless spell that made Bellatrix freeze like a stone then exploded into ashes.

"This is why I love you, aunt Cissa." Aquila said then kissed her aunt's cheeks. Narcissa smiled at her as she nudged her niece to go help Edward.

Edward was facing two cold one that sided with Voldemort.

"Aro declared neutrality. I'm surprised Carlisle and his coven is fighting on the light side." The white haired vampire smirked wickedly with his dark haired companion did the same.

"Vladimir, Stefan why are you doing this?" Edward asked.

"The dark lord promised us the Volturi's demise." The dark haired vampire answered.

"The fallen Romanian Coven survivors, I see. Aro might kiss my arse after I deliver your heads to them on a silver platter." Aquila said as she stood beside Edward.

Vladimir, the white haired vampire sped towards Edward but the latter easily read his mind and decapitated him. Stefan, the dark haired vampire attacked Aquila but his head was detached from his head because of Jasper.

"No one touches my sister."

Spells and different colors of lights flew all over the place as they eliminate their enemies one by one. Aquila held onto her wand that Alice fetched for her as she shot spell after spell. Until everyone's attention was caught by the clashing of red and green lights from Harry and Voldemort's wands in the courtyard. And alas, the last enemy fell with Harry Potter standing there victoriously.

The Cullens, the Weasleys, the Silver trio, Narcissa and the Golden Quartet gathered at the Grimmauld Place where Andromeda Tonks and baby Teddy were waiting for them. Andromeda was destroyed after hearing that Tonks and Remus died. Aquila apologized again and again saying she should have been there sooner. But Andromeda told her that it wasn't her fault. Aquila sent a letter to Charlie telling him she's alive and that they won the war.

As expected, the wizarding world's press had been pestering them. They were supposed to be grieving, but they can't. At least not in peace.

The Cullens and Aquila had arrived in Forks after taking muggle transportation. They went on their separate ways, much to Edward's displeasure. When Charlie saw Aquila getting out of the cab, he ran towards her and engulfed her in a hug.

"You are not leaving me again, young lady!" Charlie scolded as he held his niece tighter.

And in his arms, Aquila couldn't help but break down. All the grief and pain and loss resurfacing. She then finally faced reality. Her uncle Moony and cousin Nymphy are dead. A lot of Hogwarts students died. Colin, Vincent, Lavender and her secret mentor who did everything to keep her safe, Severus Snape.

The light left her eyes. For a week, she didn't speak to anyone. She refused to speak to anyone. The Cullens would often visit the girl but neither them or Charlie could make the Black heiress talk to them. Aquila laid in her bed. She can't find the strength to do anything. Then she noticed a letter on her desk.

A letter that was sent the exact day the battle of Hogwarts took place.

It was a letter from Tonks.

Dear Aquila Callisto Black,

You have a lot of explaining to do, baby cousin. Charlie told us about this boy your going out with. And it's the same boy we saw you talk to! You keep on insisting that he's just a friend. We believed you... But not anymore!

Remus and I are happy that you are finally about to get some...well I think my husband isn't as happy as me. But then something happened.

He's a vampire! And I knew because he wrote to us a week ago to ask for our blessings. Charlie told him about us and he somehow found a way to contact us.

Let's just say my Husband is finally a little more accepting.

Dark times are about to reach it's peak. Lightning has struck Hogwarts. The order is needed. I am telling you this not because I want you to help us.

I'm writing this to ask you a favor. My husband doesn't know but I am about to follow him. I will fight with him till the end, dear cousin. And I am truly hoping for the best but I want to prepare for the worst.

If ever we couldn't make it through this battle...

I want Teddy to be raised by an amazing person like you. Mum had just stopped grieving for Dad and she is bound to grieve for me too. I can't force her this burden.

Please Aquila, take care of teddy for Remus and I.

We will be with you in every step of the way. We love you...Always.

With all my love,

Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin

After reading the tear stained letter, Aquila finally found the strength to move forward. She stood up from her bed and, with her tear filled eyes, gazed at the night sky. She smiled as she spotted the stars Sirius and Regulus shining brighter than normal. Then her eyes landed on the forbidden forest.

A silver stag, two does, a dog, a fox and two wolves were looking directly at her.

Aquila smiled at them reassuringly. 'Thank you. I will be okay now.' She mouthed. The animals nod at her in reassurance. That was her cue to turn her back and join Charlie and Bella for dinner for the first time in weeks.

If she turned to look at the animals, she would've seen the stag turn into her godfather James Potter, the does turning to her godmother Lily and her mentor Severus, the dog and fox turning to Sirius and Luna Black and the two wolves turning to Remus and Tonks before they disappeared into silver mist.
