Hey everyone happy.gif

I was just rereading DHs, and I thought to myself, if I was ACTUALLY there, seated at the Ravenclaw table at Hogwarts lol, with the professors and other students, and the Order of the Phoenix, and everyone else who was there to fight the Battle of Hogwarts, would I have stayed to help fight too? I mean, would I be brave enough to stay there and possibly take on the likes of Bellatrix, the Carrows, Greyback, and even other DE's?

It's like, reading the books, I think it's easy to gloss over just exactly how dangerous, cruel, evil, and sadistic these people are. And then to actually SEE Voldemort. The white skin, and the red eyes with slits for pupils. In the end, I think I would have stayed and helped. I would have been censor.gif bricks and wetting my pants for sure lol. But I think if I had my friends there with me, I would have stood up and fought too smile.gif

So that is my question to you all. Take the time to REALLY consider how dangerous, and terrifying, and just crazy the Battle of Hogwarts was. Would you have stayed and helped to fight?


--------------------
In order to act, you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

I, too, would have stayed and fought Voldemort & the DE. My 17 yr old self would have fought for right over wrong any day. I have been a hot-head at times and Pansy Parkinson was lucky I wasn't there or I would have jinxed her for even suggesting they turn Harry over to Voldemort.
