Lucy's point of view 

Something inside me died. 

I can tell you now something literally just dropped. I'm not being attacked, for once since the start of the battle the astronomy tower is peaceful and I don't like it. There should be death eaters attacking from every which way. Especially now that Remus has been killed and Tonks is very weak because of the death of Remus. 

"Lucy?" George asked me

I suddenly snapped back to reality. I hadn't realised it but I had sunk to the floor and I was shaking all over. There was a faint ringing in my doe ears and my vision was blury. 

"Yeah?" I said my speech was slurred 

"Are you OK?" 

I didn't reply and the next thing I knew George had helped me up and was trying his best to stable me. He was giving me worried and concerned looks. I wasn't sure what I was doing either and why I was like this. 

"Fred..." Was the first thing that came to my mind and for some reason I had to say it aloud. 

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm George, pleased to meet you" George smiled sadly 

"I know" I whispered, "where's Fred?" 

"I don't know where he was stationed, sorry" 

"Er..." I clutched my forehead and for some reason I pictured the seventh floor 

"Cor blimey you remind me of Harry at this moment in time" George chuckled 

"Can we go to the seventh floor?" I questioned, ignoring his comment 

"No we have to stay here" 

"Why?" 

"Because this is where we're stationed and we can't run around the castle and do what we please!" 

"Well I want to go to the seventh floor!" 

"We have to stay here!" 

"I WANT TO GO TO THE SEVENTH FLOOR!" I pouted 

"You can't" 

I don't know how but George was staying really calm. I stared at him then realised something I wanted to go to the seventh floor for no apparent reason. But how could this thought pass my mind? Why did I want to go there? Then a rush of anger passed through me, I drew my wand and shot spells at the incoming death eaters. 

"GET AWAY FROM US!" I yelled

"Lucy?" Tonks asked me, she must of noticed my sudden mood change as well as George whom was standing well out of the way in case I had another out burst 

"Yeah?" I asked spinning around and facing her but smiled. Tonks' face wasn't one to frown at 

"What were you yelling about? Are you alright?" 

"It doesn't matter and I'm fine, I - " 

I stopped in mid sentence. I crouched down in the floor and began rummaging through my bag for the piece of mirror. I had to find it, I wanted to speak to dad. No, I didn't want to I had to! 

"Dad!" I hissed at the mirror but nothing came, "oi! I'm talking to you! Listen to your daughter when she's talking to you!" 

But still no reply came... Where was dad? What was he doing? 

"Hey!" Someone yelled, they were running up the staircase. I looked up and saw Harry, Ron and Hermione, "Lucy!" 

"What?" I snapped 

"You need to come down to the shrieking shack, now!" Harry ordered 

Snape's point of view 

"You have performed extra ordinary magic with this wand, my Lord, in the past few hours alone" I said 

I was in the shrieking shack with the dark Lord. I was fighting in the battle when Lucius had dragged me to the dark Lord, apparently he thought he needed to speak to me. Fear didn't describe my feelings it at all. It was more curiosity than anything. 

"No" Voldemort hissed 

I stood there with my hands behind my back. I didn't even move when the dark Lord approached me with this snake 'Nagini.' I don't think anybody was fond of that snake apart from Lord Voldemort. There was something most peculiar about the dark Lord's voice I must admit that...

"No...I am extraordinary but the wand resists me" 

"There is no wand more powerful, Ollivander himself has said it" I paused, "tonight, when the boy comes, it will not fail you, my Lord. It answers to you and you only" my eyes flickered to the side and I swear I saw something move. Yet it wasn't Nagini...

"Does it?" Voldemort raised his eyebrows. I'm guessing this was a rhetorical question so I stayed silent

"My Lord" I said simply

"The wand, does it truly answer to me?" Voldemort circled me once, "your a clever man, Severus, surely you must know. Where does it's true loyalty lie?"

I gulped and somehow knew this conversation was going to end badly. When the dark Lord wasn't looking I looked around and I swore I saw Lucy...

Lucy's point of view 

I listened intensely. What was the dark Lord doing? Why was he questioning my dad? Why was I hungry for information? Why did I still want to go to the seventh floor?

"With you. Of course, my Lord" dad said patiently

"The elder wand cannot serve me properly of course because I am not it's true master. The elder wand belongs to the wizard who killed it's last owner. You killed Dumbledore, Severus, while you live the elder wand cannot truly be mine."

Dad's face turned pale (paler) it was as though his heart had sunk. If anything I knew his thoughts were on me being the protective father that he was and I knew he wanted me to be safe and not to worry about him. 

"You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus, but only I can live forever" 

"My Lord" dad protested but before either dad or Voldemort could do anything I ran out of the entrance of the shrieking shack and into my fathers arms. I hugged him and refused to let go. 

"Lucy" dad whispered, "Lucy, let go" 

"No!" I squealed I was officially crying now

"Let go of him you foolish child!" Voldemort hissed at me 

"NO!" I shouted, facing Voldemort now anger covering my face yet sadness too. I couldn't have my dad die. 

"I know what we'll do..." Voldemort grabbed hold of me, I screamed but he didn't have any of it. He stood me in front of him then whispered in my ear, "lets give Severus' daughter front row view of her fathers death" 

I sobbed in protest but he wouldn't listen. I stared at dad, he occasionally looked at me but stayed quiet. Voldemort raised his wand, I covered my face with my hands and made my doe ears disappear. The next thing I knew I could hear that bloody snake of Voldemorts literally eating dad... 

When I re opened my eyes, Voldemort had gone as well as his snake and dad was on the floor. Bleeding. I put my hands over my mouth and tried my best not to vomit. Then I did something very brave (for me anyway), I knelt down beside dad. Took one of his hands in mine then covered his neck wound.

Then Harry, Ron and Hermione dashed inside. Hermione gasped, Harry looked shocked and Ron I don't think knew what to think. I paid no attention to them, I just hoped my father was going to survive but something inside me told me that he wasn't going to make it.  

"Dad?" I asked, he looked at me with sad eyes. And for the first time since I've known my dad he did something he'd never done before. He was crying. 

"My tears, take them" he whispered 

"Harry! Get me a flask!" I demanded. Harry looked at Hermione for help and she was already digging in her bag for one. She pulled it out and handed it to me. I collected dad's tears then stoppered the flask. I placed it in my bag quickly before returning my attention to my dying father. 

"Take my tears to the pensieve" dad just about managed to say, "you remind me of your mother Lucy..."

And with that, dad was dead. I choked and cried like I had never done before. I layed across dad's body as though protecting him from everything and everyone. But there was no use he was gone. My tears landed on his robes along with all the blood which had fallen from his neck. I didn't want to leave but Harry prodded me in the back gently. 

"Lucy, I know you don't want to leave but we have to. We just have to" Harry said to me, he helped me up despite my protesting. From the trio's faces Voldemort had given another one of his messages but I was totally oblivious to everything else but my father I missed it. 

Harry took my hand and we all walked up to the castle together. When we arrived we saw that the battle had stopped. Harry explained to me that Voldemort had ordered the battle to stop and that if Harry went to see him in the forbidden forest the battle would be over.

So we entered the main hall and we all looked around. I let go of Harry's hand because I was crying again, I had to wipe the tears away. I walked forwards with the trio following me when I saw the whole Weasley family huddled together, hugging each other and crying like I was now.

Ron stood beside me to see what was going on. We both walked forward then I terrible and heartbreaking scene met my eyes. Fred. Fred Weasley. Dead. Tears fell down my face again and I ran over to Fred. His eyes stared into the distance, all life drained from them. He had gone as pale as me and there was no emotion etched on his face apart from...Apart from the ghost of his laugh...

"FRED!" I yelled I was about to kneel down beside him when Mr Weasley grabbed hold of me

"No, Lucy!" Mr Weasley said 

But I continued to yell Fred's name as though he would wake up to the sound of my voice. But I knew he wouldn't...

That was it. My life was over.
