"One man could be the difference between victory and defeat."

I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. All credit goes J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros.

"Think harry, think!" says Ron helpfully.

Think… concentrate… there he is! Voldemort popped into Harry's head faster than you can say the Beetle the Bard. He was on his way to Hogwarts. Harry knows what has to happen. It will have to be a finale showdown between him and Voldemort. But he feels prepared. He got this. Hermione said something, so Harry closed his eyes, and when he opened them, there was Ron and Hermione, standing there, holding hands, waiting for Harry to Apparate with them.

Harry decided not to tell them what he saw because they might be scared.

"You ready?" she asks. Harry nods his head and grabs her hand tightly.

"One, two, three! And we turn around in midair and apparate to Hogsmeade. Then an alarm goes off and a voice sounded like it was coming closer and closer. Lucky they were under the invisibility cloak and it was two in the morning. He had mumbled something about it being Aberforth's cat. That gave Harry an idea. "Come on." He whispers to Hermione and Ron together they go to Aberforth's pub and slowly open the door… and find him sitting there talking to … Sirius Black. Harry passes out, Hermione and Ron stammer and stumble around like idiots, and Aberforth, oh Aberforth, is just standing there, shaking his head in amazement.

Finally Harry wakes up to and runs to Sirius, despite Hermione's warnings that he might be an imposter, and gives him a hug. "How are you alive?" asks Harry.

"I will never leave you, Harry. Nothing is stronger than love," says Sirius. In that moment, with all those smiling faces, Harry felt like he actually hade proper family. Now Harry understands. He won't die, because Sirius did what his Mother did for him and it's not about the action, but about the intention.

"Aberforth, you know what to do," says Sirius. Aberforth nods, then turns around to the painting of his little sister, and somehow, the painting opens, revealing a long narrow passageway where Sirius told them how he pretended to be dead and that only one thing kept him from dying. Thinking about Harry, who for some reason, kept chanting the words in his head, "One man could be the difference between victory and defeat. That one man could be you." Finally we got to a door, and when he opened it, there was Gryffindor's, Ravenclaws, and a dozen Hufflepuffs who, rather than grieving that Cedric's death was for nothing like the rest of their house, they were avenging him. But there was one Slytherin.

Draco Malfoy. He was in the middle of a huge speech and Harry, for some reason, shouted these words at the same time Draco did:" One man could be the difference between victory and defeat! And always remember: that man could just be you".
