important things to remember
three houses stood between harry potter and pansy parkinson
mr & mrs weasley fought the battle of hogwarts without knowing where ron was
harry was so caught up in battle prep he forgot about the horcrux thing
neville & his herbology buddies threw mandrakes @ death eaters
then neville used venomous tentacula to ensnare them
sir cadogan being IN HIS ELEMENT and rushing from painting to painting shouting encouragement @ people
mrs norris hissed & batted at owls
firenze showed up to fight
poor hermit bewildered alberforth dealt w/ literally hundreds of people passing in & out of his house & then came to fight when he realized what was happening
slughorn finally decided his loyalties
ron: “so what’s new with you?”
colin creevy snuck back in after the evacuation
ron went after the basilisk fangs & remembered parseltongue to get them
hermione’s quick thinking w/ that slide literally saved their lives
mrs augusta longbottom put on her hat before she came to see what the what was up @ hogwarts
even the Headless Hunt people showed up
all the portraits encouraged ppl
instead of grieving in the great hall, ginny went outside, probably to be alone, and found it in herself to comfort a scared, lost girl whimpering for her motherneville & wood gathering the dead
professor trelawney throwing crystal balls down @ people
percy cursed the minister of magic & cracked a joke
minerva in her tartan dressing gown w/ a flock of galloping desks trailing behind
peeves dropped snargaluff pods onto death eaters so they were covered in wriggling, fat green worms
a dying snape was still with it enough to give harry those memories
He is dead!
mcgonagall’s scream
He beat you!
neville charged voldemort and mouthed off to him & slayed tf out of that snake
hagrid had his bro carry him from the cave to hogwarts, got shoved through a window, got carried away by giant spiders, and sobbed & carried dead harry all the way back to hogwarts
the rest of the centaurs, everyone & their mom, the threstrals, and even buckbeak came to fight
kreacher leading all the house elves w/ carving knives & cleavers stabbing & hacking @ death eaters
Not my daughter, you bitch!
harry literally waited until the opportune moment to reveal himself & it was so dramatic. bless him, sirius would’ve been so proud.
harry tried to get voldy to try remorse and redeem himself
ppl throwing food out the window into grawp’s mouth
blessed luna saw that harry was exhausted & distracted ppl so he could get out of the great hall
peeves immediately made up a verse about moldy voldy
harry: i’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime. *immediately joins the aurors*
I want to also add that when given the choice to stay and fight, it was specified that there were almost as many hufflepuffs as there were gryffindors.
