We do not own Harry Potter. Although we would like to be able to claim Books 1-6 and make money off of them, we would like it to be indisputably known that we would never wish our names to be in any way related to, tied to, or associated with the illogical farce that is entited "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
This drabble is a part of the R.U.I.N.S: Can't Stand Deathly Hallows drabble project over on FictionAlley. To read more drabbles or for more information on the drabble project, please visit our author's profile page.
Harry's Sacrifice
A red-gold glow burst suddenly across the enchanted sky above them, as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. The light hit both of their faces at the same time, so that Voldemort's was suddenly a flaming blur. But suddenly a third ray of golden sunshine stabbed into the crowd of watchers ...
"STOP!" Hermione Granger cried, her bushy hair glowing in a nimbus of light.
"W-What?" stammered Harry.
"Excuse me?" snarled Voldemort.
"Harry, you don't need to do this!" cried his distaff best friend. "If we're all protected from Voldemort then he's helpless against us. We can just walk up to him and overpower him physically! We can put him in jail, prosecute him lawfully! We might be protected from Voldemort because of your sacrifice (even though its effects are totally different from that of your mother's, funny about that) but you aren't! Voldemort can still kill you! YOU DON'T HAVE TO RISK YOUR LIFE, Harry! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MURDERER (like you were agonising about so much at the end of fifth year, remember?)!!"
"B-But --" stammered Harry, as Kingsley and two - five - ten other aurors walked up to Voldemort and put him in manacles, "it -- it was just supposed to be the two of us!! The final confrontation! THAT'S WHAT JO WANTED!!"
