15 year old wizard Harry Potter was currently in the middle of an intense duel between himself and his mortal enemy, Lord Voldemort, in courtyard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the last day of the term of Harry's fifth year, both of wizards determined to end the 14 year long battle between them, their spells locked in combat.

Battles waged all around them between Voldemort's army of death eaters and the Hogwarts teachers, the Order of the Phoenix and the members of Dumbledore's Army, but all the 2 wizards were concerned about was each other.

When the connection was broken for a brief moment, Harry noticed something from within the folds of Voldemort's robes.

A white crystal ball like object that appeared to be some kind of containment unit.

"I see you're admiring my soul orb. It is the key to my immortality. As long the souls within it remain trapped, I cannot be truly killed. And now your spirit shall join the ones trapped inside." Voldemort said, not realizing that he had just revealed his weakness to his greatest enemy.

"Accio." Harry shouted, summoning the orb to him.

"No!" Voldemort shouted.

"Accio firebolt!" Harry shouted, summoning his broomstick and then dodging another killing curse and jumping onto his broomstick and took off.

"Come back here Potter." Voldemort demanded.

"I'll be back Tom. When I do return, you will be mortal again." Harry said as he flew off in search of Professor Dumbledore, knowing that if anyone could figure out how to destroy the orb, it was him.

After Harry had given the orb to Dumbledore, the hogwarts headmaster encouraged Harry to confront Voldemort once and for all while he destroyed the orb.

Now the headmaster has reluctantly retreated to his study.

"Headmaster, why have you retreated from battle?" the portrait of Phineas Nigellus asked.

"Because I must discover the secret to opening this orb if the battle is to ever truly end." Dumbledore said as he touched the orb with the tip of his wand.

"Incredible. This orb contains the spirits the last lives Voldemort personally took. That's how he survived. This orb must've been created as a precaution in case something went wrong in Godric's Hollow. And then I can detect a third spirit, though I'm not sure who it is. However, I now know how to break the orb." Dumbledore said as he performed a simple summoning and reviving charm, along with a Reductor curse, effectively shattering the orb, thus destroying Voldemort's immortality and releasing the souls contained within the orb free.

Both Voldemort and Harry could sense the orb's destruction and Harry could actually sense the destruction of the connection between himself and the dark lord.

"No." Voldemort shouted.

"Give it up Tom. The Orb is gone and you're mortal again. And now it's time for you to die." Harry said as the 2 blasted each other with spells once more.

"No Potter. I will defeat you and then I will find another way to immortality. I will find a way to truly conquer death." Voldemort shouted.

"Not in this lifetime Voldemort." Harry said as he could feel his spell beginning to overcome Voldemort's, for Harry's pure heart was his greatest power and could easily overcome the darkness that existed where Voldemort's heart should be.

"Goodbye Voldemort." Harry said as he watched Voldemort the same way he had 14 years ago. By his own killing curse being bounced back at him.

All other duels stopped at the sight of Voldemort's death and this caused the death eaters to flee for their lives and their freedom, causing cheers to erupt from the from the Hogwarts side of the battle.

And Harry, feeling both relieved that this war was finally over and also exhausted from the toll that not only this battle, but the entire had put on him since he was 11.

And with that, he promptly passed out.

When Harry woke up, he found himself in the all too familiar presence of the hospital wing, though this time Sirius was able to stand at his bedside, his criminal record had been expunged after the incident at the Ministry.

"Harry, I'm glad to see that you're okay, though I suppose you'll still be exhausted for a little while." Sirius said, pride clear as day in his eyes, though Harry could tell there was something else Sirius was holding out on.

"Sirius, what are you keeping from me?" Harry asked.

Sirius chuckled and said "I never could keep a secret from you for long. Just like your father."

"Sirius, what is going on?" Harry asked.

"Perhaps old Padfoot here shouldn't be the one to tell you." said a new voice that made Harry freeze.

He had only heard that voice once before. During the duel with Voldemort back at the graveyard.

While it was a long shot, Harry craned his neck to where the voice had come from and nearly passed out again at the sight before him.

James and Lily Potter were standing behind Sirius, both of them smiling nervously at Harry.

"How?" Was all Harry could asked.

"I believe I can answer that Harry." Dumbledore said as he joined them at his bedside.

"How so Professor?" Harry asked.

"The soul orb you gave me. Your parent's spirits were 2 of the souls trapped inside. The second I destroyed the orb, they were resurrected and might I add that they were both very anxious to see you." Dumbledore said.

Harry looked towards Sirius, who nodded at him encouragingly.

Finally, Harry looked back at his parents and asked "Are you really back?"

Lily Potter ran past Sirius and actually pushed him out of the way and took his place at her son's bedside.

"Yes Harry, we're back and I promise you we're not leaving you again." Lily said

"You promise?" Harry asked, thinking this was too good to be true.

"Swear to it son." James said as he walked up next to his wife.

"Does the world know?" Harry asked.

"Yes Harry. You've actually been unconscious for about a week and in that time, we managed to get your parents' status changed back to alive and they've been given full legal custody of you, if that's what you wish." Dumbledore said.

"Of course that's what I want." Harry said, causing both of his parents to grin widely.

"Oh and by the way, you should know that your mum paid the Dursleys a little visit last night after learning about how they've treated you and let's just say that they'll be spending some serious time in the hospital to recover." Sirius said.

"They deserved it." Harry said, causing his mother to smile at him even brighter than she already was.
