Right Outside the Entrance Hall.

Voldemort stood there, yelling at Hagrid, telling him to set Harry by his feet. His terrible voice then rang through the castle. "The Boy Who Lived is dead! I have killed him! He was running away, yes, the one who you depends on! He was saving himself and leaving you all to die! His body lay here at my feet as proof! I declare the war over, and all and resitance will resolve in the slaughter of any man, woman, or child who does so! Come out here and kneel to me, you and your children, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters will all be spared! So come and kneel!" [Done by memory.]

[[Your skim reading is horrible. Hagrid wasn't imperiused!]]

[... HARRY'S THOUGHTS. YOU LIEEEEE. *canonlyskimreadforschool*]

The crowd began swarming, screams of protests and hatred were thrown at Voldemort. All of which he just took with a smirk on his face. Amanda joined the next wave of the crowd, pushing to the front to see if it was true.

She covered her mouth in shock at the sight of her dead brother. She glared at Voldemort, cussing at him, but her voice melted in with the others.

(He wasn't naked...?]

Serenity was also screaming, with Selia looking on, holding her sister's hand, silent.

Olivia stayed near the edge of the crowd. Her arms were crossed, feet together. She just wanted to shrink down and disappear from existence. The world was just going to go downhill from here, after all...

Rachel led Kelsi out. "...He is so disgusting looking." she mumbled, but she couldn't help but look at listen to him. It was sorta like the case of being on a Ferris wheel-you look down even though you'll be scared.

[... yeah he was?... I definately remember that. oh wait. that was the dream thing. /FAIL. *runs to edit*]

Amanda melted into the crowd, appearing besides Olivia, grabbing her arm. "Livvie... he's--he's dead!"

[[Ahhh, you're so funny. <3]]

Kelsi looked. Then she couldn't anymore. She hid her face into Rachel's shoulder. "This wasn't the way it was supposed to end."

[I LOOKED LIKE AN IMPOSTER FAN i shall reread the books during the epilouge.]

Amanda began shaking again. "...Olivia, I'm probably going to be killed."

[*facepalm* If I were Harry I would've been embarrassed to be naked in front of the whole Wizarding Community.]

"Serenity?" Selia said quietly. "What are we going to do now?"
"I think we're going to go to France, Selia. We can live with Grandma. It's not safe to stay here anymore."

"I know, it wasn't..." said Rachel slowly. "Sometimes though, the bad guys win."

"Come on, you're the most Religious person I know! God wouldn't allow this!"

Olivia looked up at her, tears starting to form. "N-no! You can't!"

"Uh, well. Let me pray." she cleared her throat, and began to mumble a Hail Mary.

"-And now at the hour of our death amen." she then froze. "Crap, I shouldn't have said that one!"

Amanda looked down at her friend, tears streaming down her face. "Y-yes. He will kill me due to my last name..." Amanda was violently shaking. "I'll have to go into hiding..."

Libby was hanging out in the back of the crowd, with Holly. Despite her will to fight, she really didn't want to see He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and just hung out around the back, hugging Holly. Besides, she could hear his--and others'--voice loud and clear anywhere she stood.

Kelsi shook her head. "It's fine. If everything goes right, I'll go to church every Sunday."

"This isn't even happening! We're all gonna be fine!" Her voice cracked.

"All my friends are here, Serenity. I don't think I can go to France."
"We could die, Selia. I don't know what else to say. I love you, though."
"I love you too." And they hugged.

Amanda shook her head, laughing hoarsely for a second. "Olivia, like I said, you are a terrible lier."

Rachel couldn't help but glance over at Olivia. "You know, if we weren't in such a serious situation, I'd be laughing. Olivia is finally starting to crack for the first time in her life!"

"Shut up!" Olivia pulled Amanda into a tight hug, the tears spilling over and rolling down her cheeks.

Robin stayed in the back, too. She was looking around for Kelsi. Please, please, please don't be dead. That was all that was going through her mind. They lost. It's that simple. She can accept it. They'll go into hiding in Australia. That simple. She can accept that, too. But she won't be able to accept it if both of her siblings are dead.

Kelsi just stood there. Her dark eyes looked empty.

Amanda hugged her back, because friends who are girls can hug each other. "Livvie, you-you'll be --" Amanda couldn't even mangage to say the word okay. she couldn't lie to her friend. "Liv... I don't know what's going to happen."
