Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, te decet
hymnus, Deus in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem; exaudi
orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Harry looked over his shoulder at Draco, who had just knocked out a small group of Death Eaters, and motioned for Draco to hurry up. Draco ran over to Harry, and they looked around for Voldemort. Suddenly, Harry noticed Bellatrix walking towards Ron, who was fighting Peter Pettigrew, and Harry could feel his blood start to boil. He raised his wand and pointed it straight at Bellatrix and, conjuring as much anger and hatred as he could, shouted, "Crucio!" Unlike the last time he had tried the curse, he had wanted to cause her immense pain, and this time it had worked. "That was for Neville's parents," he uttered coldly. She fell to the floor, writhing in unimaginable, unbearable, burning white pain, while Ron finished dueling with his old rat. Harry kept his eyes on Lestrange and pointed his wand at her heart again. "And this... this is for Sirius. Crucio!" he yelled again, and she shrieked in pain, still writhing on the floor.
It was May fifteenth, in the Trio's seventh year at Hogwarts, and Voldemort was more influential than ever. Thankfully, Draco had changed sides halfway through this year, and he was proving to be a great asset to Dumbledore's Army. Severus had seen Draco magically covering up a few bruises and painful-looking scars one morning, and had proceeded to intimidate the truth out of him. Apparently, Lucius Malfoy had a habit of abusing Draco whenever he said or did something 'wrong'. Snape eventually convinced Draco to testify against his father, resulting in Lucius being thrown in Azkaban.
Dumbledore had started to show up to the DA meetings just last year, and he taught them all very useful spells that they could use to fight Voldemort. All too soon, however, the day came when Harry knew he would be leading Dumbledore's Army to the Final Battle; at least, he hoped it was the final in this war against evil. They had lost Parvati Patil in the most recent battle, when she gave her life to save her twin sister. It was actually their only student death yet, although there had been several close calls. For a while, Padma and Lavender stopped going to DA meetings, because it reminded them too much of Parvati. After grieving for at least a year, the two girls decided to rejoin the DA, mainly to avenge Parvati's death.
Harry ran back to Draco, Ron by his side, and they all ran to where Hermione must have accidentally found Voldemort. Harry shouted, "VOLDEMORT!", to take his attention away from Hermione. Harry walked forward, wand in hand, and pulled out a dagger from his robe with his left hand. He tossed the dagger to Draco, who caught it deftly and walked forward, a few feet behind Harry. Ron stood where he had been left and motioned for Hermione to stand with him. The plan had been set in motion, and Ron and Hermione would need to stand back and help in any way possible. Hermione quickly muttered the spell that would hide the five of them from everyone else in the room, and prevent anyone from distracting Harry while he fought Voldemort.
Suddenly it happened. Simultaneously, Ron and Draco attacked; Ron threw an expelliarmus at Voldemort, while Draco threw the dagger at him. The dagger struck him in the chest, near his heart, but not close enough to have killed him. Voldemort laughed and pulled the dagger out, reaching out his other hand to summon his wand back to him. Immediately after he pulled the dagger out, however, he fell to the floor and started to convulse. Harry smirked and aimed his wand at Voldemort, then shouted, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Voldemort tried to block the curse, having gotten over the Cruciatus, but somehow it followed him, striking him in his wound. What Voldemort hadn't known was that the dagger was charmed to make blood attract curses, so Harry could throw a curse anywhere in the room, and it would go straight to Voldemort's wound. Unfortunately for Voldemort, someone in the room had sent a Cruciatus at someone, and it had gone straight to Voldemort just after he pulled the dagger out of his chest, weakening him enough for Harry's curse to kill him.
Almost as quickly as it had begun, the battle was over, and Hermione took down the charm that hid them from the others in the room. The Death Eaters had been looking around wildly, trying to figure out what had happened, because their curses kept disappearing. When they realized that their Lord was dead, many of them Apparated out of the building, while others proceeded to act lost, as if they had had the Imperius Curse on them; of course, some of them may have truly been under the Imperius, but most were there of their own accord.
Harry turned around and grinned. Their plan had worked! He couldn't believe how easy it had been. He ran to his three best friends and they shared a group hug, all of them grinning. They started to laugh happily as they broke the group hug. Draco clapped Harry on the back and excused himself, then ran to Ginny, who had a broken rib and was looking pale. When Ron noticed his sister's state, he ran over to her too, leaving Harry with Hermione.
"Harry..." started Hermione, biting her lip nervously, "I don't know what I would have done if you have died... I- I love you, Harry...." She looked into Harry's eyes and, taking a chance, kissed him gently. Harry began to respond to the kiss, turning Hermione's sweet, gentle kiss into a passionate one. Suddenly, Harry felt the world spinning around him, and a burning in his forehead. No, not in his forehead -- his scar....
A/N:
Hope you enjoyed! Next chapter should be soon, and you'll find out what the story's actually about in that one. Well, sort of. I know the whole killing-of-Voldie is a bit short, but try to imagine it the way I have.... Um.... Yeah, it works perfectly in my mind.
