Harry knew he was now that everyone was ready to go. Harry saw the room light up in a green color and froze. He could not hear Cho anymore and slowly turned around. Cho was on her back with her teary eyes wide open, spread eagle and dead. Harry felt his eyes tear but he turned it into pure anger and stepped forward pulling off his robes as he approached Voldemort. Harry had his wand pointing right at the back of his head as he passed the first death eater who shouted for his master to turn around as he tried grabbing Harry. Harry yanked his arm out from the death eaters grip.
“Harry potter, so nice of you to join us.” Voldemort said with his back to Harry looking down at Cho’s lifeless body. “Tell me Harry, how does it feel to loose another loved one? You have been a thorn in my side for way to long and you shall die on this night. Do you have any last pleads for your life?” he said turning to look Harry in the eyes. Harry was steaming mad by now and had almost forgotten his plans. Harry lowered his wand slowly to his side but keeping a firm grip on it.
“Do you have any last for YOUR life” Harry mocked him back.
All Voldemort could do was laugh at Harry, “Stupid stupid boy. Do you not realize how far I have come in life? I am immortal and after I kill you no one will ever question my powers.”
By now Harry just felt like mocking him because he knew if he could distract him he could execute his plans.
“Oh are you talking about your seven Horcruxes. Yeah I know all about them. Dumbledore told me all about them before he died.” Harry saw the shock on Voldemort’s face and smiled, “Didn’t think I knew did you? Well I do and I’m pleased to tell you all but two have been destroyed.”
Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out Ravenclaw’s wand from his pocket. Harry saw Voldemort’s eyes light up and look at the wand. Voldemort tried lunging at the wand but Harry just backed up a little.
“Now let’s negotiate here.” Harry told him feeling confident in his actions. “You release every here and ill face you one on one. The better man wins.”
Voldemort did not like this one bit, “How about you face me here and now in front of everyone or my death eaters will start killing your friends.”
With this all, the death eater withdrew their wands and pointed them at a student of their choice. Harry thought that this would work in his favor and started thinking of a new plan.
Meanwhile Voldemort took his silence as weakness, “I can always make new Horcruxes by using your classmates here. Kill them.”
Harry yelled but it was too late. The death eaters each sent out their own curses. One by one student fell over, Seamus, Katie, the Pavarti twins and some other students Harry did not know. Harry Took out his wand and yelled, “Now”
Harry jumped sideways and shot whatever curses came to his head at the death eaters while receiving his fair share. Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the others jumped up and fired their own curses at the death eaters. Hermione threw the extra wands to members of the order who grabbed them and jumped in on the fight. During the confusion, Voldemort’s snake vanished from sight. Harry had his wand in one hand and Ravenclaw’s wand in the other.
Harry had an idea to try to break it as he hid behind a desk. Harry took the wand in his had and snapped it in half but nothing happened. Harry set it on the floor and with a few select words set it on fire. Its flames glowed black emitting red smoke from it. Harry knew this had worked and decided to go after Voldemort. Harry lifted his head up and saw Voldemort and Wormtail exit through the door. As Harry got up, the desk he was behind exploded with a powerful curse, which knocked him off his feet.
Harry regained his structure and bolted for the door. He saw Voldemort’s cloak disappear around a corner that lead to the front doors. Harry took some hidden passages and wound up right behind Voldemort as he headed out the front door. Harry stopped at the door way because Voldemort and Wormtail were standing there looking up into the sky.
Harry looked up to and saw Gwarp standing there, “You not leave. Hagger I stop them.”
Hagrid came running and stopped at the ankle of his brother who had grown considerably since the last time Harry saw him.
“Turn around and face me you coward. This ends here and now and I promise you I will be walking away.” Harry felt more confident than he had ever felt before. Harry held his wand straight out toward Voldemort and Wormtail slinked off to the side.
“Very well, Potter if you choose to die today I will accommodate you. “Avada Ked…”
Harry was quick on the uptake, “Expelliamus”
Their wands had connected again with lava like lights spewing from both of their wands. Harry however was ready for this and pulled out the mirror his godfather gave him. Harry lowered his wand and at the same time lifted the mirror in its place. Voldemort jumped out of the way just in time for his curse to burn the side of his robes.
Harry threw down the mirror because it had been destroyed by the impact. He then raised his wand at the now dazed Voldemort. “Crucio” was the first spell to Harry’s head but it had no impact.
“HA HA HA you still don’t mean to cause me harm do you.” Voldemort said raising his wand. “Let me show you how it’s done. Crucio.” Harry saw the wand light heading straight at his head. Harry did not know what to do. He just prepared for the curse to hit him. “AAAHHHH” Harry opened his eyes and looked down. Wormtail was lying on the ground screaming in pain. Harry was confused at to why Wormtail protected him but had a fight to get to.
” Harry just stand still and let this be painless on your self. Your parents died with courage and your just being a baby.” Voldemort yelled at him.
Harry saw flashes of his parents, Serious and Dumbledore dieing in his head, which brought the rage out of him. “Avada Kadava” Harry yelled out and the spell hit Voldemort square in the chest. Voldemort had collapsed on the ground.
He had done it; he had killed Voldemort after all this time, it was over. Harry looked down at the lifeless body. Wormtail had stopped withering on the ground and just looked asleep. Harry sat down on the grass, exhausted from the fighting. It was dark out by now and everything was fading from sight. Harry all of a sudden saw a flash of green light coming at him and a shadow seemed to block him from it. Wormtail was lying in front of Harry, dead and lifeless. Harry jumped to his feet but Gwarp saw this and brought his arm down to hit Voldemort.
“No Gwarp he’s mine I can handle him.” Harry yelled at him, which made him bring his massive hand back.
Harry was shocked at how Voldemort could have withstood that straight at his chest. “Silly boy, I am not alive so there for can not be killed.
Harry was lost; he could not kill what is not alive. Harry just started shooting off curses toward Voldemort and most of them, blocked as if they did not exist. Harry was the target of a curse, which hit him in the ribs, and he felt them break on impact. Harry grabbed his sides and looked up at Voldemort.
Harry lifted his wand, “Sectumsempra” Harry could see Voldemort open up with cuts all over but there was a problem. There was no blood spilling out of the slices. Now Harry was worried, he knew he had to kill Voldemort but he did not know how. “What has Dumbledore always told me? I know of something Voldemort can not understand.” Love was the answer but the question was how he was supposed to use it.
Harry ducked when a curse was heading toward him. He knew he was running out of time but he knew he had to do something. Just then, it hit Harry. He ran forward, dodging curses flying at him, and grabbed Voldemort around his mid section. He then reached up and planted his hands on Voldemort’s face.
Voldemort started screaming in pain and anguish. Harry reached inside his robes and let his hand burn straight into Voldemort’s stomach. Harry stood up and watched as Voldemort turned to ashes in front of his eyes. Harry collapsed and passed out. Harry was filled with, for the first time in his life, the sense that everything was going to be fine.
The War Ends
Harry awoke some time later to the felling of a cool rag pressed to his head. He tried to get up but he was pushed back down onto his bed.
“Just lay there. You need your rest.” Harry heard Ginny tell him before falling asleep again.
He awoke the next day to loud talking in the room and knew that Mrs. Weasley had arrived. Harry sat up and looked around for his glasses but could not find them until someone handed them to him. Harry looked up and his heart jolted. Dumbledore was sitting next to his bed. Harry was at a loss for words that he just stuttered.
“Easy Harry I shall explain in a moment when we are alone. But for now some people want to see you.” Dumbledore told him.
Harry looked and at the other side of the room with their parents were Ron and Ginny. Hermione was sitting on Harry’s other side sleeping. Harry reached over and shook her to wake her up. Hermione stirred and looked around before she saw Harry and jumped up embracing him in a hug.
“I’m so happy you’re alright. I knew you would be but some others didn’t.” she said with a smile and tears streaming down her face.
Ron and Ginny noticed Harry had awakened and ran over to him. Ginny attacked him by jumping on the bed right on top of him. Ron on the other hand just shook his hand, “Good job.” Harry was pleased everyone wanted to be with him but he asked them all to leave so he could talk to Dumbledore alone. After all the hugs and kisses, the room emptied leaving the two of them alone.
“I know Harry, I should be dead. Your right I should be but, as you can see, I am not. After Snape lifted me out of the window and I floated to the ground I was dead. Although Voldemort has Horcruxes, there are other ways of extending your life. You see Harry there is an old and powerful magic I came across to where if some were to sacrifice their lives and something else sacrifices their lives for that person. They can live again.
