This '''conflict''' was fought as part of the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], on [[2 May]], [[1998]]. As [[Death Eaters]] fought students and teachers alike, [[Peeves]] intervened dropping [[Snargaluff]] pods over the heads of the Death Eaters. [[Harry Potter]], [[Ronald Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] sped through this skirmish while on their way to the [[Shrieking Shack]].
 
 
==History==
 
===Background===
 
[[File:BttleofHgwarts.JPG|left|290px|thumb|[[Death Eaters]] [[Skirmish at the Quad battlements|breach into]] [[The Quad battlements|the battlements]] around [[The Quad]].]]
 
{{Quote|But she broke off as yells and shouts and the unmistakable noises of duelling filled the corridor. Harry looked around and his heart seemed to fail: Death Eaters had penetrated Hogwarts.|Description.|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}}
 
After [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and the [[Death Eaters]] managed to break the protective enchantments around [[Hogwarts Castle]], the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] began. Duels broke out in the grounds as the [[Death Eaters]] made their way toward the Castle. A while later, the Death Eaters had made it to the foot of the Castle, and used [[giant]]s to [[Skirmish at the north battlements|breach into the north battlements]]. As Death Eaters penetrated its walls, duels started breaking out in the corridors.<ref name="DH31">''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' - Chapter 31 (''The Battle of Hogwarts'')</ref>
 
 
===The duel===
 
{{Quote|Even as they stood braced, looking for the opportunity to act, there came a great "Wheeeeee!" and looking up, Harry saw Peeves zooming over them, dropping Snargaluff pods down onto the Death Eaters, whose heads were suddenly engulfed in wriggling green tubers like fat worms.|Description.|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}}
 
As [[Harry Potter]], [[Ronald Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] (all under Harry's [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]]) made their way to the [[Shrieking Shack]] and to [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]], who was keeping his last [[Horcrux]], [[Nagini]], in safety, they passed by [[Minerva McGonagall]] who was leading an army of betwitched galloping desks into battle. A short while later, they found themselves in the middle of this skirmish. [[Portrait]]s on the walls screamed advice and encouragement to the [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] defenders, as students and teachers alike struggled against [[Death Eaters]].<ref name="DH32">''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' - Chapter 32 (''The Elder Wand'')</ref>
 
 
Sometime in or prior to this duel, [[Dean Thomas]] acquired a wand, presumably taken from a defeated fighter. Dean was face-to-face with [[Antonin Dolohov]], [[Parvati Patil]] with [[Travers]]. [[Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]] had their wands at the ready under the cloak, but the fighters were moving around so much that there was a strong likelihood of hurting on of their own side if they cast curses. As they stood there, [[Peeves]], the school [[Poltergeist]], arrived at the scene, and started throwing [[Snargaluff]] pods on the [[Death Eaters]]' heads.<ref name="DH32"/>
 
 
As Peeves did this, one of the pods hit the [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]], giving away Harry, Ron and Hermione's position to the [[Death Eaters]]. The fighters took advantage of this momentary distraction of the Death Eaters: [[Dean Thomas|Dean]] knocked out a masked Death Eater with a [[Stunning Spell]], and [[Parvati Patil|Parvati]] shot a [[Full Body-Bind Curse]] at [[Antonin Dolohov|Dolohov]].<ref name="DH32"/>
 
 
===Aftermath===
 
{{Quote|"LET'S GO!" Harry yelled, and he, Ron, and Hermione gathered the Cloak tightly around themselves and pelted, heads down, through the midst of the fighters, slipping a little in pools of Snargaluff juice, toward the top of the marble staircase into the entrance hall.|Description.|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}}
 
It is unknown how this conflict turned out, although it is a fair assumption that it was won by the [[Order of the Phoenix]] side, as [[Peeves]]'s intervention seemed to knock out several [[Death Eaters]] and the fighters seemed to take advantage of the Death Eaters' momentary distraction to floor some of them. The way towards the [[Marble Staircase]] landing above the [[Entrance Hall]] was left covered in slippery pools of [[Snargaluff]] juice.<ref name="DH32"/>
