This is a sad story, so you've been warned.
Disclaimer: The contents of this story belong to various people. Characters belong to J. K. Rowling; inspiration belongs to an unknown author (see end author's notes), and to Cygnus Crux, who wrote the story 'Harry Potter's Existence After Life' (a story I highly recommend for anyone, no matter who you think Harry should be with); development belongs to me, my muse-in-residence, and my passing muses (my muse-in-residence is my sister, and my passing muses are so scared of her that they only get close enough to lob an idea in my direction before they flee at top speed.); anything else you see in this story that isn't claimed you can have.

Harry dropped to his knees as he stared at the robes that had contained Voldemort mere moments before. Even though he was exhausted, he used the last of his rapidly waning strength to act on a thought that wouldn't get out of his mind.
Reaching over the pile of robes, Harry's fingers found Voldemort's wand, and he picked it up.
Using a reserve of strength that was almost exhausted, Harry brought one knee up, then, holding both his own and Voldemort's wands in both hands, he brought them down over his knee as hard as he could manage. He was rewarded with a loud CRACK as both wands broke in half, effectively preventing anyone who wanted to gain power from using either wand to do so.
His job done, Harry let himself fall to the floor with a thud, barely noticing the SNAP of his glasses breaking as his face slammed into the stone floor. In fact, he didn't even feel the floor hit his face, as all his energy was being used to keep him alive.
Harry's vision started to go dark as the last of his energy was exhausted. By the time his friends found him a few minutes later, Harry Potter was dead.

I was reading the stories in this section, and I noticed that Harry always survives, whether he actually beats Voldemort or not, and it made me think of a story I saw in the Dragonball Z section. Basically, Vegeta finally achieves his goal of beating Goku, only to die moments later. I thought I'd apply it here.
I plan on writing a few more chapters about the effect of Harry's death on the wizarding world, so keep tabs on this story.
