Another Constellation
So there is another constellation in the sky, but who would have guessed which stars she's made up of? Around 8 years after Harry and his friends graduated. He's married, so is Ron and Hermione, Neville's running the Hogwarts greenhouse and Luna is helping out. But one dark moonlit night a dark figure with heavy lidded eyes appeared on the doorstep of the Potter's household.
One with a key to the future.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter otherwise the movies would be 100 true to the books
OoOoOoOoOoO
Vold stopped for a spilt second caught between something. His hand shook. It seemed like he was giving up. He was going to come to the side of good and give up his ambition of following in his father's footsteps.
Cassiopeia smiled at him and held her arms up hopefully. "Please Vold?"
Vold looked at Cassiopeia and was about to take a step forward but out of the corner of his eye saw Harry Potter and something in the back of his mind snapped. Like some angry memory of a dark being came over him and told him to go against what he wanted to do.
His face contorted with rage and he raised his wand. "Goodbye. AVADA KADAVRA!" And shot the fatal green light at Cassiopeia.
Everything stood still for Cassiopeia. The green light appeared and was coming towards her. An image of her mother and Sirius Black flashed before her eyes as the last tear she would ever shed rolled down her cheek.
Her eyes turned silver shot with gold and as the green blast hit her she just said one word. "Peace."
When she hit the ground Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione were shocked. It looked like she was just about to break through to him. He was going to give up but he killed her. He had killed his own wife.
Cassiopeia's corpse lay on the ground in front of Vold. Her eyes wide open, showing the prediction silver glow she had had before. Her hair was fanned about her and a glistening tear on her cheek drew the eyes to her sorrowful face. Arms were limp and unmoving.
Vold fell to his knees as Harry and the rest came up behind him. He couldn't believe it; he had finally found who he was. Not evil. And the memory of his father had made him kill his wife. He only slightly knew of love and had little of it, but all of it had been for his wife, not matter if she had only been thirteen when they got forced to marry.
That night those years ago when he had kissed her in apology, he had felt a flicker of something sunny in where he thought his heart was to be. She was beautiful to him. She was his and he had killed her.
Vold stood. She had slain the darkness in his heart. If not for the memory of his father he would have come to the side of good. Ignoring the four people on either side of him he said clearly to the body of Cassiopeia.
"I love you." And without warning threw himself out the gaping hole he had created in the wall and plummeted to his death.
Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione rushed to the hole and saw the dark shape of Vold E. Morte hit the green of the grass below them with a sickening thud. Dark red pooled around him as the Hermione lead Ginny, Harry and Ron back to the bodies of Cassiopeia and Trelawney.
They saw the sad form of Trelawney and then Cassiopeia. Both were killed by Vold E. Morte but both were also killed by the influence of his father. Thankfully now the Voldemort line was dead and could not ruin anymore lives. Like Cassiopeia said. "Peace."
"You realize something." Said Hermione to the other three. "We had it wrong. Cassiopeia's name wasn't the star. It was Harry, since is a celebrity also known as a star. Harry you gave Cassiopeia your wand to defend herself. You were the star, yet not."
"So Cassie was the slayer of the dark." Asked Ron looking down at the dead woman.
"Yes Ron. She slew the darkness in Morte's heart and filled it with care for others. He died out of his own love and remorse. Not ours but his own. Everything from the prophecies came true, and now there will be peace." Said Hermione tears flowing.
Ron nodded to the corpse below him, holding his wife close. The third war had been prevented and the line of Voldemort was truly gone.
Harry and Ginny knelt next to Cassiopeia. Ginny took her hand, still warm. "You saved out world Cassiopeia. Thank you."
Ginny felt something in Cassiopeia's palm. She turned it over and found the Resurrection Stone. Ginny showed it to Harry. He shook his head.
"Leave her with her parents. She is at peace." Said Harry and he looked back to the dead body. "Thank you."
OoOoOoOoO
See! I had you all fooled, thinking Harry was going to kill Morte but really it was the love Cassiopeia gave him. He was the celebrity 'star' and she was the slayer. YAY PLOT TWISTS!!
So, okay I was thinking something different to end it but it didn't have the feel I was looking for. Anyway I'll post the alternate ending in the epilogue.
This is Another Constellation!!
