It was the last battle. Tonight, so many people would die. But the two who were destined to die was a secret kept by two lovers, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. I will not tell their love story, but know that theirs will by no means be a happy ending. The battle raged around the two and Voldemort flung curses at Harry, which he dodged. Finally, Draco gave the signal; he grabbed Harry's hand and made a barrier around himself and Harry. A single tear ran down his cheek as Harry held his wand out in front of him and yelled the curse, "Aduro abrumpo!" and Draco let out a sob.
Harry's whole mind was on this curse and he could feel the stares of the warriors who stood behind him, not daring to interfere. He focused his mind on the pain he wanted this monster to feel and limb by limb Voldemort's body was ripped from itself and incinerated. With a final scream, the last of the evil wizard was swallowed by fire. The whole of the grounds felt silent and the only sound they could hear was Harry's labored breathing. All eyes were on him as he grabbed Draco and slammed their mouths together in a desperate kiss, pouring all of their love, passion and pain into it. When they released, Draco was crying openly and his eyes were locked with Harry's. Harry looked at the crowd and let out a triumphant yell, one arm around the now sobbing Draco and the other made a fist in the air, holding his wand. Then, to the surprise of the audience, Harry slumped into Draco and Draco fell to the ground, sobbing over his now dead lover.
