Chapter eight

'I'm going to hide this where no one will ever find it, not even me.'

'How would you do that if you hide it?'

'I'll conjured duplicates, give Hermione, Ron, Neville and Luna one each and we all hide them and never tell anyone where they hide there's.'

'Clever, so you'll pile the five stones together and none of you will know which is the real stone?'

'Yep, it's safer that way. But since I'm here, give me a minute.' Harry stepped into the clearing, then knelt down, 'I was here, I can feel the dark magic right on this spot.'

'After he hit you with the killing curse, what did you feel and see?'

'I never felt it till later, but I saw Dumbledore, we spoke for a while. Sirius reminded me that I did see what was left of Voldemorts soul. It was this tiny little disgusting thing, that's all that was left of him and it was moaning in pain. I didn't know what it was at first, Dumbledore told me. You know he gave me a choice to go on or come back. I did consider going on, but I knew what I had to do. Either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. That's a line from the prophecy. So I came back to see which of us was going to die for good and he is dead Kingsley, I saw what was left of him. His spell backfired onto him, he didn't have enough soul left to survive that.'

'So will you come out of hiding now?'

'Yes, but I'm going to stay with Mr. Ollivander. I'm helping him with his shop, so many people are going to need wands and I'm enjoying myself while I'm helping him. I want to ask you something about that, Voldemorts wand, where is it?'

'Abner has it, why?'

'Well technically it is my wand now, but of course I don't want it. That blasted thing killed my parents. But when their finished with it, I want Mr. Ollivander take the core out for me.'

'Because it shares cores with your wand.'

'Yeah, a feather from Fawkes, he only ever gave two feathers and they just happened to go into our wands. Fawkes saved my life when I was twelve, so I want to keep his feather, then I'll destroy that wand.'

'I'll make sure you get the wand Harry, now let's get out of here. I really don't want to see those spiders again.'

Harry laughed as he stood up, 'You're as bad as Ron, but yeah, let's go.'

'Harry Potter,' a voice came from behind the trees.

Harry saw the aurors and Kingsley pulled their wands, 'It's fine, put your wands away,' Harry faced the trees, 'Hello Magorian, Bane.'

'We wish to thank you Harry Potter. You did a great service to all creatures by getting rid of that human. You are not like other humans I've met, so you are always welcome in our forest.'

Harry gave the centaurs a bow, 'Thank you, but are all of you okay?'

'We are fine Harry Potter, we are warriors, just like you are. I will tell you this, it was written in the stars that you would kill him.'

'Well I did, but about Firenze, can't you forgive him. He was just trying to help?'

Magorian and Bane looked at each other, 'We do owe a debt to Harry Potter.'

Bane looked at Harry, 'Yes we do and we do not like to be in debt to humans. So if we forgive Firenze, than our debt to you is paid Harry Potter.'

'Yes, it is even if I don't see anyone as owing me anything.'

'Then we will allow Firenze to re-join us and now we will allow you to go in peace Harry Potter.'

'Thank you, just so you know though. Not all humans think of you as pretty talking horses. I know what you are, you are warriors and magnificent magical creatures and all I wish is for you to be safe.'

Both Magorian and Bane gave Harry a head bow, 'Thank you Harry Potter, we will leave you and your friends in peace,' Magorian and Bane turned and ran into deeper into the forbidden forest.

'You certainly have a way about you Harry. Bane is not the nicest of centaurs.'

'They can be intimidating Kingsley. But all they want is to be treated with the respect they deserve. Oh one more thing,' Harry said as the four men started walking again, 'When you do go find his body, I want to go with you. Now normally I wouldn't use this, but I think after killing Voldemort I deserve to go.'

Kingsley heard both Albert and Lionel give a small laugh, 'Well, normally you wouldn't be allowed, only aurors could. But you're right, you do deserve this. But first tell me what you plan to do when we get there, there could be a dozen death eaters with his body.'

Harry pulled the wand from his sleeve, 'I think this could be used for such a good purpose, don't you?' Harry grinned up at the tall black man.

Again Kingsley heard Albert and Lionel laugh, 'Fine, we'll let you take the lead, but any problems, we all get involved and that's the last time you use I killed Voldemort to get me to do something, agreed?'

Harry put his hand out and shook Kingsley's, 'Agreed,' then Harry hugged him, 'It's really over, I think I can finally start believing it now mate.'

Kingsley grinned, 'You can Harry, now I'll go check with Abner, you go rest for a while. If you're going to take on a dozen death eaters, you're going to need your strength, even if you are the saviour.'

'What, why did you call me that?'

'You haven't heard have you Harry?' Kingsley smirked, 'That's what you're being called now. Harry Potter, the saviour of the magical world, the name saviour is being toasted in every country around the world.'

'Oh blimey, who thinks up these names? First the boy who lived, then the chosen one, now the blasted saviour, why can't I ever be just Harry,' Harry heard Kingsley say just Harry as he said it making Harry scowl, 'Prat, but I do just want to be known as Harry, just Harry, oh and you two,' Harry faced Albert and Lionel, 'Cut out calling me Mr. Potter, you make me feel old. I'm not even eighteen yet, so Harry from now on or I might just start hexing.'

'He really is getting cheeky, threatening to hex two aurors,' Kingsley grinned as they got to the gates of Hogwarts. 'But unless they have permission, from me, they have to address you as Mr. Potter. It's like they have to address me as Sir or Minister and we've been friends for years.'

'Well give them permission Sir,' Harry chuckled.

'Oh don't you dare Harry, how do you think that makes me feel, having the saviour calling me sir?'

Albert and Lionel broke up laughing, then Kingsley laughed as well as Harry glared at the three men.

'You're all prats, but I'm going and make sure it's Harry from now on.'

'They have permission Harry so don't get your wand in a knot. I'll let you know when Abner works out to find his body.'

'Thanks, hopefully it won't take long and I can finally get on with that normal live I want so much. I'll talk to you all later,' Harry stepped through the gates, saw Kingsley replacing the enchantments, so he smiled then apparated away.

Over the next week, Harry really enjoyed watching Mr. Ollivander working with the wands. He was making a whole heap of new wands and Harry knew two of these would go to his friends. Mr. Ollivander even instructed Harry on how to make a wand and to Harry's surprise, found it really satisfying.

'Harry, Garrick,' Kingsley stepped into the shop with Albert and Lionel.

'Hi Kingsley, Albert, Lionel,' Harry grinned.

'Minister,' Mr. Ollivander smiled.

'First, I have this for you,' Kingsley handed over the white bone handled wand to Harry.

Harry stared at it, 'It killed so many people, well not just the wand, but him using this wand. It should be destroyed,' Harry faced Mr. Ollivander, 'Could you take out the feather?'

'Yes, if you're sure you want me to, I can Harry.'

Harry nodded, then handed the wand maker the wand, 'Yes, then I'll reduce the rest to ash,' Harry turned back, 'You said first, is there something else?'

'Yes, Abner worked his spells, we know where his body is. So do you still want to come with us?'

'Yes, definitely,' Harry hurried from the room, then came back with the wand in his hand, 'I'm looking forward to this.'

'Just don't destroy his body Harry, Abner and the other Unspeakables still want to study it?'

'I won't, as long as I get to see it destroyed when their finished.'

'I already worked that out, we just don't know how long it will be.'

'I can wait,' Harry grinned then turned to face the wand maker again, 'I'll be back later Mr. Ollivander, I'm enjoying learning how to make wands.'

'I'm glad Harry, not many young people are interested in wand lore. Please be careful though.'

'I plan to,' Harry looked back at Kingsley and the aurors, then the four of them left the shop. Kingsley took Harry's arm and they apparated away with the aurors. The four men met up with another three aurors.

'Alright, there in there, now we found out there are five living people in there.'

'I can handle five.'

'First, two we think don't want to be part of it and never wanted to be death eaters.'

'Who, which two?'

'Draco Malfoy and his mother Narcissa, but Lucius Malfoy is the one that is leading the others. So him and we're not sure who the other two are. From what we've heard, they seem to want what Lucius wants.'

'Okay, I'll deal with the three, you lot keep the other two Malfoy's safe.'

'Oh the saviour is giving aurors and the minister orders.'

'Kingsley, stop with the saviour shit or I will hex you. Maybe I might do what my father did to Snape as a student. Did Remus or Sirius tell you about that?'

'Yes and you better not. Now let's get in and just Harry can capture some death eaters.'

'Better,' Harry chuckled, then led the group to the door. When they were ready, Kingsley blasted the door, Harry ran in and had the three death eaters hanging upside down by the ankles and disarmed within seconds, 'Easy see.'

'You don't need to show off Harry, but can you let them down now. We've got their wands and they have six aurors with wands on them?'

Harry laughed, then flicked his wand and lowered the three death eaters to the floor, where the aurors instantly bound them.

'Good work Mr. Potter,' Albert gave Harry a bow.

'Hey, what did I say about that?'

'If you're going to be working for me, then you will have to get use to me giving you orders from now on. But as the Minister said, you would like to rest for a while. So I expect you to start your auror training in sixth months. I think that gives you enough time to rest and relax, don't you?'

'You never told me he was head auror Kingsley?'

'He wanted to see you in action and not just go on what he's heard about you.'

'Well that's good then, I never want to get anything because I happen to be Harry Potter. So if you're sure, then I'll be there in six months and I'll have to remember to call you Sir,' Harry grinned at Albert who smiled back. 'So what's going to happen with those two, I did tell you about them?'

'Once the aurors have questions them, then they will probably be released, but with restrictions on them for a few years. Anyway, I'll let you go back to making wands.'

'In a minute,' Harry walked over to the dead body of Tom Riddle, 'Tom Marvolo Riddle, burn in hell where you belong you bastard.'

Kingsley, Albert, Lionel and the other four aurors all saw that Harry was finally realising it was over. Draco and Narcissa Malfoy actually smiled while they watched Harry Potter. The three death eaters all glared but realised they had lost their last hope of bring their lord back and again thanks to Harry Potter.

Harry stood there staring down at the face of the man that killed his parents, that caused thousands of deaths and that had been trying to kill him for so long. Harry smiled then turned back to face everyone and they all saw a peaceful and contented look on his face because Harry finally realised their war with Voldemort was finally over.
