Harry Potter: Magical Legacy

"Sweet!" Harry pumped his fist into the air. "I wish we had time for more but we've got to go. Neither of us was looking to Entrance Hall so we don't have to use the Ninjas. We'll just run through. You go towards Daphne, Tracey and Lupin. I'll get Tonks. If Amelia, Susan and Sirius need help than I'll send my Spirit towards them and hold off the Dementors with the Sword."

"Agreed." Hermione turned to him and pulled him into another kiss. This time Harry's brain didn't switch off and he leaned into her, returning the kiss. He felt his face grow a little hot as her arms wrapped around his neck and his around her waist. All too soon, they parted casting soft smiles at each other. "Don't you dare die on me, Harry. You've already used up your quota for near death experiences this night. And I want to be able to kiss you more in the future."

"Yes, Mione," Harry replied smirking. "Come on. Let's go save our friends."

If someone had told Neville three years ago that he would be back to back with a Professor in the middle of the night surrounding by over a hundred Dementors watching some of his best friends probably lose their souls while he held off a group of the demons with a giant bear Patronus he probably would've told them to head to St. Mungo's. And yet that was exactly what he was doing right now. Luna was whimpering beside him and Shiva was pushed up against his back. Both his bear and her wolf were still holding against the onslaught, but once the others fell he knew that would change.

He could barely even see his friends. The Dementors had practically formed a wall around both Harry's group and Daphne's. Lupin's wolf Patronus had pushed them back enough that he could catch a fleeting glimpse of Tracey curled into a ball on the ground while Daphne tried to help Remus though her Patronus kept failing after barely a second each time she managed to recast it. Tonks' koala died after Hermione's and Harry's failed. There were just too many of the creatures clustered for her to hold off on her own. Neville felt tears falling from his eyes as he saw the three brought to the ground. He couldn't even try to send his bear towards them because then Shiva and Luna would be overwhelmed by the ones around them. At least Susan was being protected by her Aunt. Amelia seemed to be managing to hold them off well enough for his girlfriend to drag Sirius back towards Neville and Shiva.

A horrible screech split the air. Neville grimaced and held his free hand against his ear. It sounded as if the very night itself was screaming bloody murder. The Dementors all stopped and turned towards the sound of the screeches. It was like someone hit pause on the battle for survival. Abruptly the sound cut off, only to be replaced by a second screech a moment later. Neville followed the gaze of the demons and saw one of the creatures draped over Hermione folding into itself. There was a glint of metal and a brief view of Harry standing over her. Before Neville could do more than stare in astonishment, a second Harry and Hermione flew out of the castle doors. Harry charged towards his double while Hermione sprinted past Neville and aimed for Daphne.

Both raised their arms and glowing Patroni leaped out. Harry's panther was beautiful and strong and it leaped toward the Dementor holding onto Tonks. The cat's mouth opened in a silent roar and then closed onto the throat of the Dementor. A third horrid screech filled the night as the versions of Harry and Hermione lying on the ground vanished into thin air and the Dementor caught by the panther was torn to shreds leaving just a fluttering robe behind and a bit of sticky black residue on the ground around it and Tonks.

Hermione's otter was just a hair slower, but no less effective. It charged at the group around Daphne but they seemed to take heed from their fellows and parted letting the otter sail through almost unmolested. One Dementor wasn't quite fast enough and got caught by a tail whip by the otter. A screech resounded and that Dementor was left as just a fluttering cloak. "Daphne!" Hermione shouted. "Catch!" Neville watched her pull her arm back and saw a small stone sail through the air. Daphne jumped and caught the stone, an instant later a silver hedgehog charged out of her hand and slammed into two of the surrounding Dementors sending more dying screeches reverberating through the night.

Neville twisted back to Harry and saw his panther leaping from Dementor to Dementor while Harry swung the Sword of Gryffindor in his other arm at one that strayed too close to Tonks' prone body. Less than a minute after Harry and Hermione had ran out of the Entrance Hall every Dementor in the vicinity was running. Or floating. Or whatever they did, in retreat. Neville just gaped at the Dementors high tailing it away from the silver Patroni like bats out of hell. He lowered his wand and let his bear fade as he felt Shiva behind him also drop her wand and step to his side.

"Did you just see Harry and Hermione in two places at once?" Shiva asked.

"Oh good, that wasn't just me," Neville replied a little dumbstruck.

"Did they just kill Dementors?"

"With a sword, first. Did you catch that?" Neville asked.

"Must have missed that part. Luna you alright?" Shiva looked down at the blonde who nodded up at them. "Cool. Neville stay with her. Excuse me while I go check on my ward." She started numbly walking towards Harry and Tonks.

Neville leaned down and helped Luna to her feet. She looked over at Harry then Hermione and Daphne. "I think I have new material for the next Quibbler article now…"

"Tonks…Tonks…Tonks!" Tonks could hear someone shouting and holding her shoulders. Blinking, she tried to focus. Harry's messy hair, lightning bolt scar and bright green eyes swam into view above her. Dimly she realized that her head was lying in his lap and his hands were on her shoulders.

"Harry?" Tonks groaned. "Where's the fire?"

"Tonks!" Harry's eyes widened and stopped shaking her. Instead the teenager pulled her up into a bone-crushing hug. "Thank god, I thought I was too late for a minute! Are you okay?"

"Besides you bruising my ribs I'm okay, squirt." Harry let her go and Tonks shook her head trying to clear the cobwebs. "There were Dementors here weren't there? What happened to the Dementors? I thought getting my soul eaten would hurt a bit more…"

"I killed a few, Hermione killed a few, Daphne killed a few, they ran," Harry said shrugging. "I think we scared them off."

"You killed a few." Tonks nodded like that made any kind of sense at all.

"He's not lying, Tonks," Shiva said walking up to the two. She knelt down and pointed to some black ichor on Tonk's robes. "That's Dementor goo. Its cloak is over there. Harry, you okay?"

"Fine, Shiva," Harry smiled at the woman. Tonks just poked a finger into the black ichor with wide eyes.
