Later on that day, Harry, Ginny, Fred and George finalized their plan on how to get Ron and Hermione together.

Essentially, the plan was quite simple.

Harry and Ginny would get Ron and Hermione to meet in front of the library, where Fred and George had already planted mistletoe.

Hopefully after Ron and Hermione kissed, they would get together.

"Show time." Harry said as they put the plan into play.

"Ron, what are you doing in front of a library?" Hermione asked.

"Harry asked me to grab some ink he left in there last night and that he didn't want to get himself." Ron said.

"Huh, Ginny asked me to do the same thing" Hermione said when she noticed the mistletoe.

"I think we've been set up." Hermione said with a smile, pointing up to the mistletoe.

"So we have." Ron said and he was smiling to.

"And you know the rules. When a boy and girl are caught under the mistletoe, they to." Hermione began but was interrupted by Ron kissing her.

When they pulled apart, Ron smiled at her sheepishly and Hermione returned it with her own smile.

"So, Hermione, would you like to go out with me." Ron asked.

"Yes. I would love to." Hermione said.

"So should we kill Harry and Ginny, or thank them?" Ron asked.

"Thank them for sure." Hermione said.

Ron smiled as he put his arm around Hermione's shoulder.

"It looks like you 2 are finally done being at each other's throats." Harry said as Ron and Hermione entered the living room.

"Yep." Ron said simply as they sat down next to Harry and Ginny.

"Glad to hear it." Harry said, right as his scar pained him again.

"You sure you're okay?" Ginny asked her boyfriend, who nodded that he was.

"Okay then." Ginny said.

(I think I'm just going to do a little fast forwarding here.)

Gryffindor had won the Quidditch cup against Ravenclaw, 250 points to 60 and Harry had done very well on all of his OWL exams with the exception of Divination and History of Magic, for, since he had no interest in continuing with them next year, he hadn't even bothered to study for them.

Anyway, it was the night after the OWL exams and Harry kept tossing and turning in his bed, dreaming again about that room in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.

He finally shot up, thinking that he had to know what it meant.

So, after scribbling a note to Ron, Harry changed into his muggle clothes, pocketed his wand and took the floo network to the Ministry of Magic.

However, he found that he had walked right into an ambush.

"What do you want?" Harry asked, grabbing his wand and pointing at Bellatrix Lestrange.

"All we want is for you to retrieve something for us." Said Lord Voldemort as he walked from the shadows.

"Fat chance. EXPELLIARMUS." Harry said, spinning around and pointing his wand at Voldemort, who raised his own wand in retaliation.

"AVADA KEDAVRA."

Green and red jets of light collided with one another as Harry and Voldemort began to duel.

However, Harry was sure that he was done for as all of the death eaters raised their wands to aid their masters when suddenly Dumbledore, Sirius, Remus, Moody, Tonks, Kingsley and James all appeared out of nowhere.

"Harry James Potter, you better have a good explanation for this." James said.

"Hey, if you guys had just told me what those visions Voldemort sent were about, I wouldn't be here. But I couldn't take the mystery anymore, so I decided to come here to find out. I didn't plan on walking into an ambush." Harry said, not breaking his connection from his duel with Voldemort.

"James, Harry is right. It is not his fault that he was brought here. It is mine for not confiding in him what his visions meant. He will not be punished." Dumbledore said.

"Fine, but you're explaining it to Lily." James said as the order members began to do combat with the Death Eaters.

After what felt like hours, though in reality was minutes, Harry's spell began to overpower Voldemort's.

It ended with Harry disarming Voldemort and catching the wand that was twin to his own from the air.

"I've waited a long time to do this." Harry said as everyone halted to see the results.

"Do it Potter, show me no mercy." Voldemort said.

"Gladly." Harry said, pointing Voldemort's own wand at its master.

However, rather than say the curse, Harry pointed his own wand at Voldemort's and said "Priori Incantem."

Immediately, a jet of green light shot of Voldemort's wand, for Harry had just forced it to recreate the last spell it had performed, which was the killing curse.

The curse hit Voldemort, straight in the chest, killing him for good this time.

"Seem appropriate that your own wand was the weapon that finished you." Harry said, suddenly growing weak and exhausted.

"Harry." James said, stunning Bellatrix before running up to catch his son's collapsing body.

The remaining death eater's disapparated, knowing that the battle was lost.

"Is he okay?" James asked Dumbledore of his son.

"He is alive, but far from okay. I'd say that Voldemort's attack weakened him quite a bit and injured him a bit. I'd recommend a few days in St. Mungos should fix him up." Dumbledore said.

"At least Harry finally ended the terror of Voldemort, once and for all." Sirius said, looking at the corpse of the Dark Lord.

"Tonks, will you please go and get Fudge. I assume he'll want to see this. Sirius, go and let Lily know to head to St. Mungos. I will handle everything else." Dumbledore said and both mentioned people nodded and took off.

I hope you all liked that chapter. I wanted to get rid of Voldemort before the war actually started to spare so many people the pain of losing the ones they loved. But I think that Harry's life will still be anything but peaceful, now that he's finished off Lord Voldemort for good. Let me know what you think and feel free to give your own ideas on the duel scene.
