Harry collapsed next to the Pensieve with his head in his hands. I have to die. Voldemort has to kill me. He got up carefully and walked out of the room. He was hoping that he didn't have to say goodbye to Hermione or Ron on his way to the forest. Seeing them would only make it that much harder for him to leave. He knew how cruel it would be to just up and leave without a single word of goodbye, but he didn't want to have any reason to stay.
Harry walked down each set of stairs, but stopped abruptly when he noticed two figures at the bottom. He instantly recognized Hermione's curly locks and Ron's fiery red hair. He took a deep breath and walked down the steps. They heard him and turned. "Harry," Hermione started. "We thought you went down to the Forbidden Forest." Ron said sounding relieved. "I'm going there now." Harry said trying to walk past them. Ron shouted, "No, you can't!" Hermione held him back. "What is you know, Harry?" She asked. Harry turned around and looked at her. "There is a reason I can hear them, the Horcruxes. I think I've known for a while and I think you have too." He said this trying not to look them in the eye because he couldn't bear to see their tears. Hermione said, "I'll go with you." "No, stay here and kill the snake." She pulled him into a hug letting tears fall. Out of the corner of his eye Harry could see tears running down Ron's face too. She pulled back and watched him leave with Ron by her side. Harry walked down the next set of steps not looking back, for he didn't want to see their faces filled with sadness.
Harry dropped the Resurrection Stone back onto the ground and walked forward. He was ready to face his death now. He stepped into a clearing with Death Eaters everywhere. He looked and saw Voldemort standing at the center. "The Boy-Who-Lived has come to die." Then he stepped forward and raised his wand. Harry closed his eyes as he thought of Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. A single tear fell down his cheek as he remembered all the times spent with his two best friends. Then Voldemort yelled, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" and there was a flash of green light. The last thing Harry thought of before he was killed was his two best friends' smiling.
Harry opened his eyes and realized he was alive. He faintly heard Voldemort say, "Is he dead?" Narcissa Malfoy walked up to Harry and bent over him. "Is Draco alive?" She whispered in his ear. This woman only cared about the safety of her son, so Harry gave a slight nod of head. Narcissa stood up and announced, "Dead." He felt Hagrid pick him up and then everyone started moving forward with Voldemort in the lead. Then all the sudden everyone stopped.
He heard a girl say, "Who is that Hagrid's carrying?" He couldn't recognize the voice at all. "Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort exclaimed. The girl screamed, "No! No!" Harry couldn't understand why the girl cared so much. He had never met her in his life. Then Voldemort turned to the Death Eaters and said the same thing and they all laughed. Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy were able to convince Draco to rejoin, but he did it very reluctantly. Neville walked up and gave an inspiring speech about Harry. The second Neville withdrew the sword from the Sorting Hat Harry tumbled out of Hagrid's arms and shot a spell at the snake. Everyone watched in amazement as Harry ran back inside Hogwarts dodging spells Voldemort was shooting at him. Then the good side clapped and cheered, but the Death Eaters started attacking in anger.
Harry was running from explosions Voldemort was shooting at him now. Then he appeared in front of Harry and their spells clashed. Harry took a brief second to look behind himself and saw the snake advancing on him. The snake's attention was redirected to somewhere else as a girl threw a rock at it. Harry shot at the ceiling and jumped down onto the next staircase. Harry dodged and ducked from the spells Voldemort was throwing at him. Then Harry grabbed Voldemort and they jumped flying to the battle-worn courtyard. They crawled towards their wands and each jumped up and shot spells at each other. The spells clashed and Harry knew the last Horcrux had been destroyed. The Elder Wand shot to Harry and he caught it. Voldemort had been destroyed and Harry had won.
Harry went back inside Hogwarts and looked around to find Hagrid. He gave him a hug, and a redheaded boy and the girl who saved his life before smiled at him. Harry wasn't sure why because he had never met them before, but he smiled back anyways. They're probably just being friendly. He wanted to go look for the girl who had screamed when he had been announced dead. It was weird because he had never met the girl. Harry saw her over in another part of the room and walked over to her. She smiled at him and stood up to give him a hug, but he backed away.
"Do I know you?" Harry asked, bewildered.
