It been a long year at Hogwarts. The War had begun and Voldemort is out looking for Harry Potter to kill. My name? Lydia Black, a Hufflepuff in her 5th year. My friends are Corabeth Mab, a Ravenclaw and Jo Glass, a Gryffindor. We met in our 2nd year, during our first Charms class together. We will tell you how it happened. Here it goes.

"Lyds! Lyds! Where are you going?" Bonnie cried. I looked back. I have been tracking down Jo and Mab. I can't find them. "Bonnie, I'm going to the Forbidden Forest! I'll be back. Keep fighting! Remember what Professor Black said!" I yelled. Almost 2 hours at the War of Hogwarts and I don't know where I am going. Then I saw Jo. Jo! Just her! Where's Mab?, I wondered. "Jo! Where is Mab?" I called. Jo turned around, still standing at the edge of the Forest. She ran. She ran to me, giving me a huge hug. "I don't know. I think she went to find Neville, seeing if he is okay." she told me. "Okay. But we have to go back to the castle. Our friends and classmates need our help." Jo looked at me, I knew what it means. She has an idea.

"You have an idea, Jo?" I asked. She nodded, "Just follow me and I tell you on the way." She started to run up to the castle and I followed. I started to see Ellie and Demi fighting 4 Death Eaters. "Kill those Death Eaters, Dem and Ellie!" I yelled as I ran passed them. They waved with their spare hands. Jo and I made it to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid was there with his half-brother and a couple of his spider friends. He was givng the spiders orders. "Hi Hagrid!" we chorused as we walked up to him. "Hello Jo and Lydia. What bring you here?" Jo explains what the plan is. "Ah, sure. You can ride 'em."

"Thanks, Hagrid!" said Jo. She got on one of the spiders. "Come one, Lyds! Get on one." I got one one of the bigger spiders and we rode off on the side of the castle and got through a huge hole on the roof. "Jo! I see Mab, Sara, Fey and Alec going towards the Dining Hall!" I called to Jo. She said we should follow and we follow our friends to the Dining Hall. I was guessing that the War was over because everyone who made it, got injured or dead was there. I saw the Weasleys, Hermione and Harry looking over a body. Fred! Fred is dead! Mrs. Weasley was crying hard over Fred's body, hugging him. She was telling the lifeless Fred over and over again to wake up. I saw Alec with his injured sister, Kara. She has a broken leg and a huge cut on her arm, which was gushing out blood. Alec was bandaging the wound.
