Chapter Ten
Bella laughed, breaking a window as she flew away, holding Harry in her grasp. "The Dark Lord will be pleased." she hissed, touching her Dark Mark to call him.
Inside the forest a big black mass of people and monsters kept moving when Voldemort suddenly stopped.
"She's bringing the boy! Take over the castle!" Voldemort bellowed, pointing his wand in the air.
Shouts were heard as the crowd ran towards the castle, attacking to the recently built shield.
Draco had managed to inform them there was a war going on and everyone was in shock. Hogwarts was being threatened.
Bella arrived at the spot, pressing her wand on Harry's neck.
"He's all yours, my lord." she grinned, pushing him in front of Voldemort.
Harry cried out in pain as they got closer, unable to block him out so close, swearing before he was pushed. He slowly struggled to his feet, looking Voldemort in the eyes before he raised his wand, pointing it at him, "This ends tonight!"
Voldemort snorted. "It does end tonight, Harry Potter." he hissed. Before the boy could respond, he raised his wand, shouting out the curse.
"Avada Kedavra!"
The spell found its target and a victorious shout was heard. It was all over.
Harry's last thought was of Draco and Kayla, eyes wide, dropping his wand as he hit the floor.
Everything flashed white before he closed his eyes and he felt as if he got sucked to another dimension by a Portkey. The place around him was white; empty. He felt so cold and alone and that was because he was naked on a cold white floor. "Draco?" he shouted, "Draco!" he cried desperately to no avail. He was dead.
Long silver hair, half-moon spectacles and a confusing smile met Harry's frightened expression. "He's safe." a voice told him. The man turned around, looking at Harry, his eyes finally seemed to be at peace as was his whole body.
Harry looked at Dumbledore before he moved over and just hugged him, "Its over isn't it?" he muttered. "Voldemort won." He said.
Dumbledore was startled but hugged him back softly, patting his shoulder. "Harry, where do you think we are?" he asked the boy, looking around.
"I don't know...limbo?" Harry looked at him for a moment, "Everything's so stark and white...and I'm scared..." he admitted in a whisper.
"Guess again. And don't be scared." Dumbledore told him softly.
"...Kings Cross Station? But...cleaner and without all the trains and noise...why?" Harry muttered sadly.
"Because, you can either choose to take the train or let it go away, and stay back." Dumbledore said, always speaking in riddles.
"What...what do you mean?" he whispered, "I...I can go back?" he whispered, "Back to him?"
"You'll have to learn, Harry, that in life you always have a choice, either you know it or not, either you chose the good side, or the bad side." Dumbledore told him softly as he moved away, leaving Harry behind.
Not long after, Draco's voice echoed around. "Harry... We need you... I need you..." he said softly.
Draco wasn't dead, thankfully, and as he was fighting with some Death Eaters his parents found him and fought along with him. They've turned to the good side, but they didn't have much time to think on it because a curse hit Draco's father, throwing him down.
"Father! No!" Draco shouted, kneeling next to him.
Narcissa threw a curse back at the Death Eater, rushing next to her son and husband. "Lucius…" she whispered, hugging Draco closely.
Draco was sobbing and he didn't even know how his father had gotten into a fight. The elf had taken Kayla somewhere safe, where only the elf could go and it would be called back as soon as the war was over.
Harry turned hearing Draco's voice, sitting, closing his eyes, letting the train leave without him...
Harry's eyes fluttered open and he found out he was lying on the ground where he had fallen. Slowly he moved, picking up his wand, standing to his feet.
Lucius was in pain but wasn't dead yet, hugging Draco as he slowly sat up. "I'm okay, I'm okay." He said, holding his family close. "Harry?" he said in a whisper. He had seen the boy hit, seen him fall.
Voldemort shivered, turning around. They were all there. Draco had come along and was fighting with Death Eaters, being inches away from Voldemort as he tried to reach Harry. Once he heard his father's voice he ran towards Harry and pulled him to get away from Voldemort.
"No! You won't take him away from me again! Never!" he said, casting a spell towards Voldemort. Voldemort flicked his wand as he avoided the curse Draco sent him.
"You must feel it to succeed the spell, Draco." Voldemort hissed.
Draco backed away, pulling Harry with him and grabbed his mother's hand who was holding his father, Apparating them all safely away. Once they reappeared they were in the castle and Draco fell to his knees, shaking uncontrollably. This had cost him all his energy.
Harry moved to Draco, cuddling him so close to his chest at that, "Draco...Draco...my Draco..." he whispered, tears in his eyes and he held the blonde so close, "Kayla! Where is she? Where's our little girl?"
"The elf took her somewhere safe. It'll bring her as soon as all this had ended." Narcissa replied.
Lucius's pain slowly faded, the male sitting up, looking to his son before to Narcissa, "I...saw him die..."
Draco was shaking and fell in Harry's arms. "How?" he croaked, being confused as hell. "You were dead, I saw you!" he cried, sobbing in Harry's arms.
Harry clutched the blonde close to him. "Dumbledore was there. He… He gave me a choice, to get on the train or to miss it." He breathed "So I missed it..." he whispered, "We have to get reinforcements, re-group and finish this tonight...or he'll come back and it'll be worse..."
"Harry, you can't kill him! He has more power than before... It's hopeless." Draco cried, hiding his face in Harry's chest. He was weak, when he should be strong and cursed himself mentally for doing so.
Narcissa healed Lucius with a quick spell before casting a Patronus at the air that flew out of the window. Her Patronus was a snake, as it would've also been Draco's if he could produce one.
"They'll get here the sooner they receive my message." Narcissa said softly.
Harry looked at Draco, stroking his hair lovingly. "I can. I know I can and I mean to do it. And when I've killed him, he won't be able to hurt any of us ever again. And I know what I need to do to succeed." he whispered.
Lucius looked at his wife before holding her close to him, the situation making him reevaluate everything. "They're going to take me back to Azkaban, Cis..."
"No, not now that you're on the good side." Narcissa told him softly.
Lucius looked at her before kissing her softly for a moment, "I love you." he whispered.
A loud bang was heard and the sound of the war kept ragging on all around them.
Draco sighed, holding Harry close. "Promise me. Promise me you'll never leave me again like that." he whispered softly.
Harry held Draco closer, "I promise. I'm not ready to leave you Draco." He whispered. It felt like there was fire coursing through his veins, and Harry suddenly looked up at the cry of a bird.
Fawkes was flying close to them, beautiful in the dark sky, carrying something, bringing it to them.
Draco looked up, seeing the bird fly around. "Harry, the bird's carrying something." he said narrowing his eyes to see.
Fawkes soon landed, laying the sword of Gryffindor beside Harry before slowly moving to sit on Draco's shoulder.
"Fawkes." Harry said in awe and touched the phoenix before picking up the sword, "Yes...this is it...wands won't work..." he said in a soft voice.
"What does a sword have to do with anything, Harry?" Draco asked confused.
Narcissa remained silent as she was looking out of the window, down at the war. "They must come, if they're not here already." she muttered. Suddenly the whole castle shook, causing Narcissa to lose her balance.
Draco clenched up on Harry. "I don't want to say this Harry, but if we die, remember I love you." he whispered, kissing him deeply.
"It's a very special sword..." he whispered. He kissed Draco back just as deeply, "Draco Malfoy, I love you too, and if we both live, I want to marry you. I know it's soon, but what else can we go through to prove our love than this? I want us and Kayla to be happy together forever, as a full, married family...I love you, and I know all I ever want is you."
Draco's eyes filled with tears as he heard these words. "I-I want it too, I love you so much." He whispered with a small laugh.
Narcissa, who clearly wasn't paying attention, finally jumped when she saw the Order fighting. "They're here!" she exclaimed.
"Come on, we've got a war to win." she said, pulling both boys up. "I want you to go and fight strongly." she whispered, kissing both their foreheads as she pulled Lucius to get down and fight for the light side.
Lucius moved with his wife, squeezing her hand.
Harry nodded, "We will." he whispered, clutching Draco before looking to him, "So...we win this, Draco, and we're getting married. Remember that..." he whispered, picking up the sword.
The phoenix remained on Draco's shoulder, as if it was helping protect him.
"I will never forget it." Draco grinned, thinking of what he kept in his pocket for days now.
They ran downstairs, hexing and cursing every Death Eater they came across, protecting each other as their movements matched together perfectly. When they reached the Great Hall, both Draco and Harry froze, sticking close to each other.
Voldemort was at the Great Hall, Bellatrix fighting on his side with Mrs Weasley, whilst Voldemort was fighting with McGonagal and Snape at the same time.
Ron and Hermione were searching for Harry as they fought together and repelled the Death Eaters. When they saw Harry they both ran towards him, hugging him tightly.
"Harry, he's here!" Hermione cried, hugging him tightly.
Ron remained silent, hugging them both.
Harry hugged his friends back and whispered to them as if he was seeing them for the last time. "I need you three to stick together and watch my back." he whispered.
Draco looked at them before poking Harry's shoulder.
"Um… guys...?" he mumbled, swallowing heavily. Voldemort had injured McGonagal and as she fell he finally noticed Harry.
Bellatrix's evil laughter echoed around, only them and a few other people being in the Great Hall.
"Harry Potter." a voice hissed, echoing around the Hall. It was Voldemort's voice.
He leaned over to the blond, kissing him tenderly for a brief moment before he smiled. "Remember our deal." he whispered before he moved over to Voldemort, sword in one hand, wand in the other.
"I'm here, Voldemort. You failed again to get rid of me." Harry said cockily and raised an eyebrow. "Now it's my turn to send you back to where you truly belong." He grinned.
"Ha! As if..." Voldemort snorted, raising his wand to point it at Harry. "You're going to die, again, Harry Potter." he hissed in Parseltongue.
"If I am to die, then this time I am taking you with me." he hissed back in Parseltongue, not wanting the others to hear him.
"Expelliarmus!" he shouted, wand pointed at Voldemort.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort hissed back, the counter spells hiting each other, a bright green and red flash of the spells.
As Harry held the spell in place, the sword glowed red, enhancing Harry's side of the spell. He dropped it to the floor to hold both hands on his wand, teeth gritted.
The other people around them seemed to have all stopped, watching the pair with wide eyed.
Voldemort gritted his teeth, two hands on his hand as he swirled it to push the spell towards Harry, reducing the distance between them as he moved.
They were walking in a circle around each other, a strong wind blowing as the two jets of colors fought with each other, green and red.
Draco held his breath and as the sword dropped he saw someone moving to take it.
Neville, who had appeared out of nowhere, was holding the sword strongly and he hit the snake, Voldemort's precious snake, with it, chopping of its head with a heroic shout.
A loud shout came out of Voldemort's mouth as he lost the contact and the spell reversed, hitting on him. At the same time Mrs. Weasley had hit Bellatrix and her body turned into ashes as Molly finished her.
"No!" Voldemort shouted, falling back, his body dissolving.
Draco gasped. It couldn't have been that easy. But it was. Everyone stayed silent for a while, eyes looking at both duelers that had defeated their enemies.
Harry dropped his wand, slowly slipping to his knees, his energy depleted, panting, silence everywhere before everyone started to cheer.
Ron hugged Hermione, holding her close before he just kissed her.
Luna ran over to Neville and hugged him with a bright smile on her face.
Ginny grinned at her mother before starting to head over towards Harry, freezing in her spot when the brunette male's head turned and looked at Draco.
Draco moved towards him, hugging him tightly. He made him look up by placing a finger on his chin and kissed him softly, not even caring about the gasps and cheers around them as he kneeled down next to Harry. It was all over and it was finally time.
"And, I'm not forgetting, Mr Potter-Malfoy, what we promised." he grinned, taking out something from his pocket. He had been planning it for a long time and now it was time.
"Do you, Harry James Potter, take me, Draco Lucius Malfoy, to be your husband for the rest of our lives, as long as we both shall live, till death tears us apart?" he asked softly, taking out the ring and softly holding Harry's hand.
Now it wasn't only gasps but some looks as well from everyone. Ginny took a few steps back as she was a bit shocked. Hermione smiled happily, looking at Harry.
Others soon joined them, the remaining Death Eaters fleeing when their lord was banished. Lucius and Narcissa grinned down at their son, Lucius actually looking proud.
Harry gasped as well at that, "Draco...yes, I will! But, I prefer Malfoy-Potter..." he grinned, letting him slip on the ring before he pounced on him, kissing him heatedly, arms wrapped around his neck.
Draco kissed him back smiling, wrapping his arms around Harry's waist after having placed the ring on him. He pulled away from the kiss with a smile, hugging him tightly.
Everyone around them broke into applause, mostly the girls while some boys let out gasps and others joined their hands, to Ron's big surprise Seamus and Dean were among them.
People began coming out, hugging the ones they truly loved and Hermione jumped into Ron's arms kissing him. Ron made a noise, kissing Hermione back happily at that.
Ginny slowly moved to get next to Harry. "You did a great choice." she smiled, ruffling his hair and giving him a kiss on his cheek. "I'm proud of my brother." she whispered softly. Yes, their relationship was always like his and Hermione's, like brother and sister.
Harry smiled at Ginny. "Thank you." he whispered back.
"Hey, no worries, I'm dating his best friend." Ginny grinned as Blaise approached them, giving a nod at Draco before heading away, taking Ginny with him.
Harry chuckled before looking at Draco, his heart floating high up into the clouds. "We did it. We beat him."
Draco smiled, happy to see his friend alive. He turned to look at Harry again. "Yes, we did it." he smiled, his voice breaking, tears pricking his eyes.
Harry hugged Draco so close to him, grinning so happily, "I love you Mr. Malfoy-Potter." he whispered with a grin.
Everyone that was close to each of them came over to congratulate separately, the last ones being Molly, Lucius and Narcissa.
Draco smiled hugging him back. "I love you too, Mr Malfoy-Potter."
Narcissa left a shocked gasp when a giggle was heard, a squeaky elf bringing a bundle with Kayla in it.
"Kayla!" Draco exclaimed, running towards the elf that was bringing her.
"Harry Potter, sir! Draco, sir!" Dobby squeaked happily. "The other elf left young Mrs. Malfoy to Dobby, sir. And Dobby brought her to you." the elf squeaked, giving Draco the baby.
"Thank you Dobby, thank you so much..." Draco whispered, taking Kayla in his arms and hugging her tightly.
"That was not expected." Narcissa smiled, looking down at their previous elf which Harry had freed. "Thank you, Dobby." she smiled.
Lucius cleared his throat, "Yes, Dobby...Thank you..." he looked at Draco and Kayla, containing a small smile that threatened to ruin his cold look.
Harry moved with Draco, cuddling him and Kayla close to him, grinning as his heart fluttered higher hearing her giggle.
"Daaa!" she giggled softly, bouncing up on both of their hugs without having the slightest idea of what was going on.
The tears ran down on Draco's cheeks and he cried, shaking uncontrollably. It was tears of joy, joy that it all had ended and he didn't have to suffer anything anymore.
Harry kissed away Draco's tears, cuddling him close, "She's safe...you're safe...that's all I can think of."
Draco nodded, smiling at him as he rested his head on Harry's chest. It was all over, finally. Voldemort had vanished.
