Max: *smiles* I'm pretty sure I'll die before the end, but yes, you have permission to save me should I die.
OOC: Ooh! I just got a great plot idea!
So Tony gets killed by death eaters. If Adam offers to save him, Max says no, knowing her brother would not want that. After his death, Max gets really sad and depressed and begins to sort of lose it. She begins to blame herself for all of her family's deaths. The only time she ever seems herself is during Quidditch. She kind of starts going in this downward spiral. She talks less, her grades drop, etc.
Then Adam starts getting these visions. In the beginning, they're unclear, but then he forsees the AHCR standing in front of a grave stone. A few days/visions later he sees the front of the gravestone, which reads:
In loving memory of
Maxine Juliet Stone
Birthdate-Deathdate
The last enemy that shall be defeated is death.
(Or whatever the quote is)
Adam gets scared and worried. He knows he can't tell Max, because of her sitruation. He decides he has to stop this. Then, Dumbledore dies and Max figures out it was Snape who killed Dumbledore and she guesses he was involved in the murder of her brother. Max runs after him and confronts the death eaters in berserk rage. Harry also goes after Snape and comes up behind Max. Then everyonbe else runs after them, and a fight ensues. Max dies. Then after the fight, Adam saves Max. Max comes baclk a new poerson, but regains her memories almost instantly.
Max decides that she has to leave her old life behind her, so they have a "funeral" for her to recognize that the Stone line has ended. Max takes on a new name. Deciding she is not safe in school anymore and with nothing left, Max convinces Harry, Ron, and Hermione to let her come with them on the ghunt for horcruxes.
