Picking the Hallows
Once again, Harry Potter has a vision of Voldemort's actions. This time, he's violating Albus Dumbledore's tomb. Harry quickly reports this to his friends. "Harry, you're not thinking about going after the Elder Wand, are you?" Hermione pleadingly asks.
"You-Know-Who will become more powerful if he gets the wand." Harry replies. "Don't you understand that?"
"How do you expect to get you there on time?" Ron asks. "The Firebolt can't fly you there that fast and only house-elves can apparate on Hogwarts grounds."
"That's it!" Harry exclaims. "Kreacher!!!" The house-elf soon responds. Harry asks him to take them to Dumbledore's tomb and there they go.
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, Voldemort picks the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb. "I'm truly invincible now." A POP noise is then heard. "Stop right there, Voldemort."
"Harry Potter?" Voldemort asks, surprised. "Well, that makes things easier for me."
"You can't keep the Elder Wand, Voldemort." Harry angrily says. "It's not yours." Voldemort then stares at the wand Harry is holding. "That wand you're holding isn't yours either."
"I'll stop you with any wand I have." Harry replies.
"You're no match for the Elder Wand." Voldemort announces. "Avada Kedavra!"
"Expelliarmus!" Harry replies and then something strange happens. When the two spells meet each other, the Elder Wand leaves Voldemort's hand and goes to Harry's and Voldemort's Avada Kedavra rebounds on him and his Horcrux snake, Nagini. Harry stares at Voldemort's lifeless body. The body he unwillingly helped to create. 'Well, one less Horcrux.' Harry thinks.
"Master, people are approaching." Kreacher warns as he sees some death eaters approaching. Harry then asks Kreacher to take them back to their hide out. The Lestranges then find Voldemort's body. "He can't be…" Rodolphus Lestrange tries to say.
"Of course not!" His wife, Bellatrix, reminds him. "Don't you remember what the Dark Lord said when he trusted us with that cup?"
"You're right, Bella." Rodolphus replies.
"Of course she is." They hear someone say. "That's why she's my best death eater. Besides S-s-severus, of course."
The Lestranges look around and notice a soul slightly more solid than a ghost. "My Lord!!!" Bellatrix exclaims and then bows to Voldemort. "Pick up my body and take it to Malfoy Manor." He demands and his death eaters gladly obey.
At the headmaster's office, where Headmaster Snape could see the whole thing happening, talks to his predecessor about it. "Albus, what do you think about it?"
"This changes everything, Severus." Dumbledore replies from his portrait. "If Headmaster Black kindly tells us where our Golden Trio is, your patronus will be needed one more time."
Meanwhile, at Bill and Fleur's home, Hermione berates Harry. "You could have been killed! And just because of some myth and a wand! Are you happy now?" Harry does not respond. "Are you listening?"
"Uh, sorry. I wasn't listening." Harry replies.
"Mate, you seemed like you were in you-know-who's mind again." Ron comments.
"Uh-oh." Hermione exclaims, knowing quite well what that means.
Meanwhile, Voldemort's dead second body is being taken to Malfoy Manor, where a death eater is likely to sacrifice a hand.
Well, that's my prologue. Please R&R.
I got inspired into writing this by reading Hallows not Horcruxes, by RockSunner and I suggest you to read it as well.
