Chapter 1- The Last Days
Power crackled around Harry as he extended his wand for battle. Across from him stood his former best friend Ron Weasley there was no love loss here only anger and the sting of betrayal, the years had not been kind to their friendship.
"You changed Harry" Yelled Ron over the sound of battle his face was red with anger and he's own wand sparked with magic, beads of sweat dripped down his face and his clothing showed battle scars
"No" replied Harry who unlike Ron seemed oblivious to the fighting around him, his glance was transfixed solely on Ron's wand his stance was relaxed and his clothing undisturbed by battling "I grew up"
"But you were Harry Potter" blurted out Ron as his wand hand dropped a fraction
Harry's eyes narrowed at the mistake "I am Harry Potter" having already calculated the risk he flicked his wand and a person who had been hurled across the room now remained suspended in mid air
Ron's eyes shifted upwards leaving his defence open "let him go" he took a step forward but stopped when he felt a shadow come up behind him
"You were saying Weasley" asked Draco Malfoy his own wand extended merely inches from his back "or should I say leader of the order of the phoenix"
Ron tensed but refused to be intimidated there was history here too much bitterness for either to truly be afraid of the other all that was left was pure hatred. "Malfoy" Ron spat out "don't waste my time I'm a little busy here, you know with important business I don't have time for one of your attention seeking bouts" he turned back to Harry "who would have thought you'd sell out to the likes of Malfoy"
Malfoy poked the wand into his back "don't you dare take the self-righteous ground with me your hands are just as dirty as mine now"
Ron froze and then he leaped at Malfoy but found himself ripped apart he landed a good feet away, to his right he saw Harry fix him with a glare. Struggling to stand he faced Malfoy once more and extended his hand, Malfoy echoed his moves
"Don't" said Harry. Both men stopped. "He doesn't understand our world Malfoy he can't he still believes the teaching of Dumbeldore, he has the family- the girl" his eyes found Hermione as she held her own with an impressive shield "he knows nothing about our world"
Ron snapped and turned fully to face Harry "I was there, I was with you in the battle"
Harry laughed a low harsh laugh "where were you when it really counted?"
"I was burying my sister" shouted Ron and thunder cracked between them the distance linking them now seemed even further apart
Magic swirled around Harry not from his wand but from his very essence "where were you when the death eater came or the dementors were free, Ginny was dead but I was still alive and I needed you"
"She was my sister" said Ron as of there was not else to say
"And there was a war still to be won the war doesn't stop for death"
"You would know you caused a lot of them" said Ron bitterly
"Don't start Weasley" hissed Malfoy "you've killed your share"
"It was self defence"
"If that's what you tell yourself to sleep better at night" Malfoy sneered
"I did what I had to do to protect people, you two have walked around for years and have gotten away with crap all because your Harry frickin' Potter or a Malfoy but you have gone too far"
"Maybe" shrugged Harry as he dispelled his magic "or maybe I haven't gone far enough" he dropped the person held by his charm and they clashed into a heap on the ground
"I'll do it" said Ron his wand extended his hand steady
"I guarantee that nothing you could do would be worst than the death eaters" he looked down at his arm and found the branded marker of the death eaters, the mark still burned like fire even years after its creator had died.
"We'll see " said Ron simply as he began to pronounce a curse
Unconcerned Harry let his wand arm drop he had faced death before and he knew that Ron wouldn't be able to finish it, and sure enough Ron's eyes widened his body stiffened and dulled as he fell to the ground like stone.
"Harry" called out Kalina as she pocketed her wand "it's ready" Harry gave a quick nod and then turned to face Hermione "Hermione" he nodded "Neville"
"You've gone to far Harry" she said echoing the words of her petrified fiancée
"So I've been told" his eyes drifted to Ron and she followed the path, "Ron" she yelled as she fell down to the ground and touch her solidified lover "you're a dead man Harry" she yelled as he turned to walk away from her following the path Kalina and Malfoy had just walked to
"Hurry Harry" said Kalina as she finished drawing the last symbol "the gateway will only be opened for a second"
He approached her slowly "is it ready?"
"Just needs the blood" she replied as she examined the grand symbol
He held out his hand and invisible claws tore into his flesh blood dripped from the wounds. It had begun.
"It's about time" said Malfoy as he watched the portal open, he took a step closer but stopped when he heard the angry voice of Hermione
"I'm not going to let you do this" she warned
"You don't have a choice" said Malfoy as he inched closer to the portal
"I'm not joking I will do it" she repeated as she swung her wand from Malfoy to Harry
"Go on then" there eyes met and held for a moment there was no recognition of there younger selves and so it was easier for Hermione to swing the wand and aim the unforgivable curse at Kalina. Harry anticipated a faction to late managing to absorb some of the impact of the spell but Kalina fell to the ground in a heap. Malfoy ran to her side and tried to shake her, blood was slick all over her body as she lay shaking. Harry's nose bleed as he waved his wand at Hermione unsure of whether the spell had made contact his eyes were on Kalina. It shouldn't have been this hard he had seen death before he had caused death before but standing here and watching life fade from her eyes brought it all back the pain the emotions he had blocked out years before. "We have to go" said Harry coldly if he thought about it any longer he wasn't sure if he could go on.
"What about" started Malfoy
"Go" Malfoy stood looked at Kalina and then disappeared in the portal Harry knelt beside her body and slipped a band of his middle finger, placing it on the ground beside her he muttered some words the band glowed and then died. He looked over her one more time and touched a matching band on her finger and the stood and entered the portal. A bright blue light engulfed the area but once subdued bodies' littered the floor the band long gone. Death had swallowed the land but it was betrayal and lies that led it there.
