Harry, Antonin, Lupin and Snape rushed into the next room. It was empty.

'What the hell?' said Antonin.

Suddenly, Antonin saw someone standing in the darkness.

'Hello?'

He waved his wand and said, 'Lumos.' and illuminated his wand. He pointed it at the person in the darkness.

'Good God!' he muttered. 'GET BACK!' he yelled.

'Stupefy!' the stranger shouted.

A jet of red light flew from the stranger's wand and struck Snape in the chest. He flew into the air and out of sight.

There was Lord Voldemort standing right behind them.

'Voldemort!' hissed Antonin.

'Antonin Dolohov,' Voldemort growled back, 'you betrayed me. You know what the consequences are for betraying Lord Voldemort, don't you?'

'I sure do,' yelled Antonin.

'Crucio!' shouted Voldemort, raising his wand.

Antonin fell to the ground in extreme pain.

'Avada Kedavra!' bellowed Voldemort.

A bolt of green light flew from Voldemort's wand.

'HARRY!' screamed Antonin.

Quickly Harry raised his own wand and roared, 'TOMASEMPRA!'

A jet of red light flew from the wand and collided with the Killing Curse. It exploded. Antonin stopped writhing and dashed away into a corner, well away from Voldemort

'What the hell?' Voldemort cursed.

Voldemort's slowly turned to Harry.

'You!'

Voldemort cried: 'Expelliarmus!'

Harry was blasted into the air before he could even protect himself. He crashed into the wall.

Voldemort walked up to him, his wand raised.

'You are going to die, Potter!'

'I sincerely doubt that!' shouted Harry.

'Oh really,' asked Voldemort. 'Well perhaps you need to know. Shortly after Antonin befriended you. How do you think Antonin really earned the Order of the Phoenix's trust and respect?'

That thought struck Harry instantly.

'Simple, that 'mysterious' person who saved you from Draco was no mystery,' announced Voldemort. 'That guy has been with you all the time!

'Antonin's - well, actually my - plan was to persuade you to join up with Antonin and he would bring you over to the Dark Side,' Voldemort continued. 'It went well until you showed up at his house. He was with me and the others. When the little dork,' Antonin did a hand gesture at Voldemort, 'heard what Draco was going to do, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He returned to his house and found Draco trying to strangle you. He saved you. You were trying to figure out who invented the spell Antonin used to save you when the creator was already there ... AND IS HERE NOW!'

He raised his wand and Antonin flew over.

'HERE HE IS!' roared Voldemort, throwing Antonin across the room.

'YOU LIAR!' bellowed Antonin, standing up. 'BLASTE UTOTUM!'

A bolt of green light flew from Antonin's wand.

'Protego!' yelled Voldemort.

The bolt of green light rebounded on Antonin.

'Fissurium!' Antonin roared.

A jet of brown light shot through the bolt of green light and it exploded.

'YOU SUCK, VOLDEMORT!' yelled Antonin.

Voldemort turned his attention to Antonin.

'What did you say?' demanded Voldemort.

'I said you suck. Are you deaf as well as daft?'

There was a long silence. Then Voldemort spoke.

'Do you know who you're addressing, Antonin?' yelled Voldemort, aiming his wand at Antonin's chest.

'Whom you address, you stupid dweeb!' said Antonin, keeping remotely calm, even though he saw how close Voldemort's wand was to his chest.

'Fine, that's it!' bellowed Voldemort. 'Avada Kedavra!'

A bolt of green light flew from Voldemort's wand.

'Avada Kedavra!' screamed Antonin

A green bolt of light blasted from Antonin's wand too.

They collided with each other and fought. Voldemort's Killing Curse was stronger than Antonin's.

'Dammit!' cursed Antonin. 'All right, Plan B!'

He raised his wand and yelled, 'Fissurium!'

A jet of brown light flew from Antonin's wand and struck Voldemort, he stumbled and his wand fell out of his hand.

Harry then raised his wand and bellowed, 'Blaste Utotum!'

A bolt of green light flew from Harry's wand and struck Voldemort in the back. He was blasted far away from Harry and into the shadows. He leapt up and grabbed his wand.

'Don't turn your back on me Potter!' shouted Voldemort, sending Killing Curses flying at Harry.

'Tomasempra!' yelled Harry.

A jet of red light hit two of the Killing Curses and they exploded.

'SECTUMSEMPRA!' Harry bellowed.

Voldemort repelled the curse and then screamed, 'Stupefy!'

A bolt of red light flew from Voldemort's wand. It missed.

'Impedimenta!' cried Harry.

Voldemort stumbled and fell to the floor. He got up again and raised his wand.

'Avada Kedavra!' he bellowed.

The Killing Curse missed by inches.

'You won't get me Voldemort!' yelled Harry. He dashed away from Voldemort.

'Oh no you don't!' roared Voldemort. 'Avada Kedavra!'

'Oh no you don't!' yelled Harry. 'Tomasempra!'

A jet of red light shot from his wand and hit Voldemort's Killing Curse.

Suddenly, Antonin raised his wand and threw it straight at Voldemort's head. It hit him.

'Direct hit!' Antonin shouted.

Voldemort turned around and shot a Killing Curse at Antonin. Antonin stepped aside and the curse missed.

Lupin threw Antonin's wand back to its owner as Voldemort turned back to Harry.

'Expelliarmus!' yelled Antonin.

'Protego!' said Voldemort.

Antonin was blasted into the wall; his wand fell out of his hand.

Voldemort aimed his wand at Antonin and said the Killing Curse again.

Harry turned and saw it just in time. He raised his wand and yelled, 'Expelliarmus!'

Antonin was blasted out of the way and the curse missed.

'Crucio!' yelled Voldemort.

It missed.

'Locomotor Mortis!' screamed Harry.

Voldemort repelled it and bellowed the Cruciatus curse again.

He had done it; the Cruciatus curse hit Harry and he fell to the ground in agony.

Voldemort looked at Harry and laughed evilly.

'VOLDEMORT!' roared Antonin. 'YOU SON OF A BIT-!'

Harry suddenly screamed loudly.

'What did you say!' bellowed Voldemort.

Antonin didn't answer. He just yelled: 'LIBRIUS!'

A bolt of orange light flew from Antonin's wand and shot towards Voldemort.

Voldemort sent a Killing Curse at Antonin, but Antonin was ready. He had already yelled: 'Tomasempra!'

A bolt of red light flew from Antonin's wand and shot through Voldemort's Killing Curse.

No-one had helped Harry, who was now writhing and screaming in incredible pain.

Finally Antonin yelled 'Librius!' again. Another orange bolt of light flew at Voldemort.

'Tomasempra!' shouted Voldemort, confidently.

A bolt of red light shot from Voldemort's wand.

To Voldemort's surprise, Antonin's spell shot straight through his own spell. The orange bolt struck him in the chest and he was blasted into the wall, binded by orange equilibrium.

Voldemort raised his wand and prepared to cast another Killing Curse, but Antonin aimed his wand at Voldemort's wand and yelled, 'Accio!'

Voldemort's wand shot out of his grip and Antonin caught it.

'FYI, Voldemort,' said Antonin, 'Tomasempra only works on the Killing Curse and doors not affected by the Alohomora Charm.'

Antonin ran over to Harry and flicked Voldemort's wand. Harry stopped writhing and screaming.

Without thanking Antonin, Harry stood up and picked up his wand.

'Harry, what are you doing?' asked Antonin.

Harry just shoved Antonin aside. He staggered up to Voldemort, kicking aside rubble. He didn't say a thing.

'Harry, what are you ...?' asked Lupin, but Antonin nudged him in the arm.

'He isn't in the mood,' he muttered.

Harry raised his wand and aimed it directly at Voldemort.

'Avada Kedavra!' he said.

A bolt of green light flew from Harry's wand and hit Voldemort directly in the chest. He broke free of the equilibrium, was blasted into the air and straight into the veil. The Dark Lord was finally dead.

Or not …

There was a flash of green light and the veil exploded. Voldemort emerged from the smoke.

'Was that your best shot, Potter?' asked Voldemort evilly.

'Try me!' challenged Antonin.

'Avada Kedavra!' shouted Voldemort.

A bolt of green light flew from Voldemort's wand. Antonin was blasted into the air and into the wall.

'EVERYONE STEP BACK!' bellowed Voldemort. 'UNLESS YOU WANT TO END UP LIKE ANTONIN!'

Harry stared intensely at Voldemort.

'We are going to duel, Harry Potter,' said Voldemort.

'Expelliar-' shouted Harry.

Voldemort easily blocked it. Harry shot into the air.

Voldemort loomed over Harry

'Before we get started,' said Voldemort, 'just a little warm up,' he raised his wand, 'Cruc-'

But this time, Harry was too fast.

'Crucio!' bellowed Harry.

'PROTEGO!' shrieked Voldemort

Harry dodged simply.

'Enough of the damn warm-ups!' demanded Harry, raising his wand. 'YOU KILLED ANTONIN! I.AM.GOING.TO.KILL.YOU!'

'Alright!' screamed Voldemort.

Voldemort whipped his wand at Harry.

'Okay, Harry, from now on, we battle fair and square, NO BACKNG OUT!'

Lupin stared at Harry, hoping he will disagree. But Harry nodded.

Harry raised his wand.

'One - two - three!' counted Voldemort.

'AVADA KEDAVRA!' Harry and Voldemort shrieked at the same time.

A bolt of green light flew from Harry's wand. The same from Voldemort's wand. They collided.

Lupin stared, then he raised his wand, but Harry shouted, 'Do nothing! Voldemort is MINE to finish!'

'I MUST FINISH THIS!' screamed Harry.

'You won't,' shouted Voldemort, 'you haven't got a chance!'

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' cried Harry.

Suddenly Voldemort raised his wand, cancelling his Killing Curse. He dived aside to avoid Harry's.

He raised his wand and shouted, 'Incarcerous!'

Ropes flew from his wand and tied up Harry.
