Voldemort grasped Hermione's skinny wrist with strength, making her hand turn purple. Ron screamed for Harry, but he did not get up. He just laid there on the ground twitching. Ron tried to launch himself from the grasp of Lucious Malfoy. Voldemort dropped Hermione and she fell to the ground clutching her wrist. She tried to crawl away but was picked up by an invisible force. Voldemort held her over the river.
"What are you going to do now Potter, your friends are in danger and you can't even control your muscle spasms." Voldemort snarled.
"Stop!" Ron said suddenly feeling his courage come back.
"And what are you gonna do about it?" Voldemort asked. "Harry's under the cruciaux curse and your little girlfriend is able to plummet to her death anytime."
Hermione let out a low groan, "help me," she said weakly.
"I…Hermione, uh I…. I love you," Ron said.
Hermione smiled and Voldemort dropped her, she fell from the bridge making Ron scream. They all waited intently for the expectant plop in the water, but when they didn't her it Lucious let go of Ron and him and Voldemort ran to the edge. They looked down and saw nothing. Ron crouched down to his knees, tears getting mixed with the rain on his face. He looked over to Harry and saw that he wasn't there anymore.
Harry was standing behind Voldemort; he looked like a mother bear protecting her cubs. The anger on his face was very distinguishable.
"You've killed too many people, Tom. We won't be added to that collection." Hermione appeared behind Harry, floating on an invisible force.
"You can't kill me," Voldemort stated.
"That's what you think….AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Voldemort dropped dead stiff as a board. Lucious pulled out his wand but Harry was too quick. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Lucious dropped dead.
Harry let go of Hermione and ran over to his friends.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but I think my wrist is broken," Hermione answered.
Harry fell to the ground with a soft thud. Ron got up and approached him slowly. After Ron reached him Hermione sprinted over.
"Is he...dead?" she asked, whispering the last word.
"I hope not, he got up after being under the cruciaux curse, saved you then killed two people. If it were anyone other than Harry, they probably would be dead."
Hermione laid her head on Harry's chest and started crying. Ron found himself falling onto Hermione and crying.
Harry was later pronounced dead. His heroic behavior killed him.
