"Ah Harry Potter, so at last you've come to die? Ahahaha" he Laughs in his twisted serpentine manner.

"Die? No, what i've come here to do is protect, protect those who are being put in danger by you because of me" I say with steel in my voice as I meet his red eyed gaze with a glare of my own" for to long have we played this game of cat and mouse and i'm ashamed to say its cost me so much more than it ever should" and what a cost it was, first the Weasley's and then the entirety of the Hogwarts staff plus countless more civilians who had nothing to do with this madman's crusade for power. And at the forefront of it all was his obsession with immortality which he believes can be obtained through my death

"Protect them you say? Who is there left to protect little Potter? Those foolish blood traitors or maybe your dear mudblood companion" he taunts with a mirthful tone " But let it be said that Lord Voldemort can be merciful. I shall offer you one final chance to pledge yourself to me and in doing so I will spare you, what say you potter hmm" he finishes in that same blasted tone.

" I say you can take your mercy and kindly shove it up your most benevolent arse" I spit out scathingly " and let it not be said that Harry James Potter is one well mannered chap" I finish with a more arrogant tone.

"Time after time…...TIME AFTER TIME YOU CONTINUOUSLY SPIT UPON MY MOST GENEROUS OFFERSSS" he roared out suddenly losing all composure he had left in his dark and splintered soul. " BUT...but no more….we end this today….ALL OF IT AND IT STARTS WITH YOUR DEATH POTTER!" he shouts as he draws his wand from beneath his menacing cloak.

"Well would you look at that finally something we can agree on, isn't that funny fawkes?" I ask seemingly to the air on my shoulder expecting, no knowing whose about to come next.

In a roar of flame the once dark and gloomy grounds of hogsmeade come ablaze with his awe inspiring arrival, shooting through the streets like a comet is my most trusted ally and closest friend Fawkes.

He who was once a companion to the very Headmaster himself and now to I.

A being born of the most pure light and fire

But most of all...

He's my friend.

"Well it's about time we wrapped this up don't you agree Fawkes?" I ask in an attempt to lighten up the mood of what will most likely be our final battle.

His only response is a solemn trill but it soothes me in ways words cannot describe and lights that fire for battle one last time.

And I feel at peace.

This is really it? After this fight I-i'll finally be able to see them all again won't I? That's why I'll make sure I can look everybody in the eye when I meet them by finally putting an end to this all.

"I hope you've made your peace Volde- no Tom, because while me leaving this battlefield is a maybe it's an absolute certainty that you won't" I say to him as I draw my own wand.

"Bold talk coming from the one who has fled from every other battle we have had so far but come Potter and show me this strength of yours which guarantees my demise" Tom replies." come Nagini" he hisses out in Parseltongue as he calls out the last of his horcruxes which slithers out from his robe in a disgusting manner." Enough talk, Confringo!" with astonishing speed he flicks his arm out and sends a blasting curse towards me.

"Ascendio! " I cry out as I use the spell to propel myself out of harm's way and into the sky. As i begin to fall I steer my fall towards my startled foe and begin to dive down towards him.

"Bombarda!" as the ground approaches frighteningly close I wait until im about 5 feet from the ground when I cast the exploding hex and use the momentum to spin myself back up in a flip and cast again immediately "Bombarda Maxima!" right in the face of my enemy

Without any incantation or spell work he simply bats the hex away and over his shoulder resulting in the house behind him exploding" is that all you've got Potter? And here I thought you were going to actually put up more of a fight then your friends" he says before he lifts his wand arm once more" I guess I'll make it slow then, Petrificus totalus!" he casts.

As the spell shoots out towards me I know there's no use dodging at this range so I simply let it hit me.

"You know Tom there's more to battle then simply attacking and defending" I grind out as his spell holds me in place" for instance did you know that my last spell was neither for offence or defence?" I say to him.

"Potter speak sense before I grow bored of you because if you can't seem to tell I have you at my mercy now." he replies as his wand glows menacingly in my direction.

"Sheesh you really have no patience Tom,and they say it's quite the virtue to have, but that hex was merely a diversion" I say without a trace of fear" one that you failed to notice" I finish as my trap is sprung.

From behind the both of us a bright light comes closer and closer prompting the Dark Lord to turn around and look all the while weakening his grasp upon me.

And as he turns around he becomes engulfed in flames as its none other than Fawkes who is enshrouded in majestic flames who comes barreling into him with the force of a meteor and completely shattering his hold on me while burning through nagini who was curled around Tom's back.

"NO!" Tom shouts as Nagini burns to a crisp unable to withstand Fawkes holy flames and due to his own pain as fawkes shoots clear through his chest as well.

"And that Tom is what a diversion is used for" I say in a mocking manner as I see him fall to his knees from the gaping hole in his chest courtesy of Fawkes."Hmmm, whats that Tom? Did you say something?" I taunt him as I walk closer to him step by step to put him down for good with Fawkes perched on my shoulder

Now standing right in front of the vile being whom I can contribute all of my grief and sorrow to I raise my foot.

And bring it down on his serpentine head.

"I said"

And again

"Did"

And again

"You"

And Again

"Say"

And again

"Something?"

"Y-ye-yes I did Potter" he rasps out from under my foot"I-i have to admit that was very cunning of you potter leaving yourself exposed for a one hit kill. I admit defeat, but-" he cuts off as all of a sudden he moves and grabs a hold of my leg with strength he shouldn't have, panicking i struggle in vain to shake him off" but it seems you have yet to heed your own words as you've fallen into quite the trap as well right Potter" even on the verge of death the bastard is so full of himself" Avada Kedavra!"he shouts as his wand come into point blank range and blasts me off of my feet and into the wall behind me.

The last thing I see is a star rushing towards me.

And with that Harry potter died.

"Aha ahaha- agh haha a tad to arrogant for your own good it seems Potter" wheezed out the dying Dark Lord as he gazed at his dead foe" Bird why do you insist on crying for the boy when his life is gone?" questioned the Dark Lord only to be ignored as the phoenix continues to cry into the dead Potter's mouth futilely." it won't work he's gone and so am I soon enough" Tom grunt out before finally letting go as he begins to crumble away and fade

Although it seems Fawkes will not give up

Soaring up into the sky Fawkes lights himself up once more and prepares to descent, and as he shoots downwards towards the young Potter he prepares to rejuvenate the boy with all of his life force.

Crashing into his corpse and seemingly sinking into it like water into a cloth the boy begins to glow until he burns away like embers floating through the sky as his body deteriorates from the enormous energy of the eternal phoenix.

And all that remains are the two brother wands strewn across the empty alley's of Hogsmeade and a single blood red feather which remain as a testament to the battle which has ended a decade long battle between two orphans.

The Tower of Joy

"Hm, now what manner of bird has feather such as these"a woman speaks aloud to herself" no matter I shall keep it for my dearest child, although it has yet to be born"and with that she returns inside the tower.
