Wildly, Bellatrix Lestrange ran through the Ministry of Magic screaming, "I KILLED SIRIUS BLACK! I KILLED SIRIUS BLACK!"

A young man, with unruly jet black hair, round glasses, and a lightning shaped scar across his forehead, chased after her. Anger was on his face and he was determined. Waving his wand at the woman he screamed, "CRUCIO!" for the first time in his life.

Bellatrix crumbled to the floor, screaming and withering in pain as Harry Potter stood over her, keeping the Unforgivable on her. That was when he heard a voice in his head. Telling him to kill the woman. Harry turned around, releasing Bellatrix, to face Lord Voldemort.

The three of them didn't notice that Ginny Weasley, followed by Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Arthur and Molly Weasley, and Albus Dumbledore. Just as Bellatrix was about to cast a body bind at Harry, Ginny waved her wand and the woman was stunned.

The six watched as Harry stared daggers at Voldemort. He drew his wand and began attacking him, not stopping. Voldemort, quick with his hands, awakened Bellatrix. She stood up and began fighting with Ginny. Soon, Bellatrix tried casting the killing curse at her when Molly jumped in and yelled, "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!,"

Ginny was taken in the arms of her father as they watched Mrs. Weasley fight with the crazed woman. Bellatrix fell to the floor dead, a few seconds before Harry and Voldemort were locked, once again, in that strange spell from the year before.

"Back down, Harry," hissed Voldemort. "You cannot win against me."

"Think again, Tom," Harry said, full of delight that Lestrange was finally dead. "I will beat you. And today is that day."

Suddenly, the fireplace behind Dumbledore erupted in green flames. A tall man with a hooked nose, pale skin, and black hair that fell in curtains about his face, walked out.

"I see my most faithful follower has returned," said the Dark Lord. "Severus, be a dear and get rid of that filth."

Severus Snape walked up and stood beside Dumbledore. He smirked at the Dark Lord. Dumbledore rested a hand on the younger man's shoulder as Severus smirked up at his old master.

"YOU TRAITOR! I WILL KILL YOU," screamed Voldemort as more and more people popped into the atrium. They all stopped when the saw You-Know-Who.

With Voldemort distracted, Harry swiftly casted the killing curse and the Dark Lord fell to the floor, dead. Harry fell to his knees, happy that it was all over and he could start living a normal life. Voldemort was dead and gone. True, he lost his Godfather, but he still had friends and people he considered family.

Severus and Dumbledore rushed to Harry as he collapsed. Severus searched in his robes and brought out a potion for the young man to drink. Severus looked him in the eyes and said, "Thank you, Harry. Thank you for freeing me of this mad man."

Harry drank the potion offered to him and felt very drowsy. Severus took the boy in his arms and Apperated away to Hogsmead. Severus got Harry into the main doors of Hogwarts when he finally succumbed to sleep. The Potions Master swept Harry into his arms and carried him to the infirmary.

The boy had done everything that no one had been able to do. He not only saved thousands of lives and the wizarding world, but he had freed Severus. When he got him inside and onto a cot, Severus did a quick scan and saw that nothing was wrong with him.

Falling into the chair beside Harry's bed, Severus did the one thing that he had not done in fifteen years. Severus Snape cried. He cried tears of happiness. He was free from Voldemort and he was free from Dumbledore's promise. He had seen to it that the boy survived until the day came for him to vanquish the Dark Lord.
