Yes, PotterwatchMachine. I just remembered it really *did* take place in the Shrieking Shack. I've read and reread the books, but I forgot that small detail. I apologize.

This is the second to last chapter! The next one is in case you're wondering if Lily and Neville do get married and their kids and stuff.

Chapter 21: The Snake's fall

About an hour or two later, they were still fighting, not willing to give up. Harry was nowhere to be seen.

"Neville, I'm getting worried." Lily said.

"So am I, Lily." Neville said.

"At least I know Father is safe."

"Yeah."

"Potter is dead!" Voldemort's cold voice came out.

"Harry!" Lily called out, not believing it. Lily pushed her way through the gathering crowd. "You're a monster!" She yelled, running to her brother's body.

"Not so fast, Little Girly," Fenrir Greyback yelled, kicking her away from her brother. "My Lord, if we win this, can I have the rebellious girl here?"

"Perhaps, I think she has no real value right now. If she misbehaves, she is yours."

"How-"

"Lily don't!" Hermione yelled.

Lily turned towards them and started walking back. Right in the middle of both sides, she stopped.

"No! How can you just give up, Hermione?"

"Lily, please! Before you get yourself killed!" Ron told her.

"Listen to your friends. The last thing Potter talked about was you, how he would protect you!" Voldemort yelled

"Lily's is right! We should be fighting back right now, for Harry!" Neville yelled.

"The Longbottom boy! You are Pureblood, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"I wish not to spill your blood. People like Potter's friend Granger are another story."

After about a moment, everyone started fighting again. Lily saw someone with black hair (A/N: it's not Harry) run by. He was fast and she couldn't get a glimpse at his face.

Lily heard Hermione gasp. Lily looked around and saw the snake by her feet. Not daring to kick it, she screamed. Neville turned. He saw the sword of Gryffindor sticking out of the Sorting Hat and then ran to Lily. He cut the snake's head off. Voldemort yelled inaudible words in rage.

"Where's Harry's body?" Lily asked, noticing it was gone. "He's alive!"

"Lily," a voice whispered behind her. "I need you."

"Harry!"

"Your wand and mine have a shared connection, right?"

"Yes."

"If we confront Voldemort together, we will win. What do you say?"

Lily spotted Neville in danger, fighting two Death Eaters at once.

"Go help him, I'll wait."

"Thank you, Harry."

Lily ran to him.

"Avada Kadavra!" One Death Eater said, his wand pointing to Lily, but she jumped out of the way in time. "Dance pretty girl, dance."

"Expelliamus!" Lily yelled, the wand flew out of his hand. "Stupefy!" he fell to the ground. "I hope you rot in Azkaban!"

"Oh, do you? When the Dark Lord wins, you'll be the most punished person here!" The other person said.

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Neville yelled. "Petrificus Totalus! And when Lily wins, you'll die slowly for saying that!"

"That's why I love!" She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Harry?" Lily asked.

"Right here," someone whispered behind her.

"I'm ready."

"Yes, Lily. Let's go." Harry threw Lily under the cloak. Lily could hear someone calling her name. She couldn't tell who, but she knew it wasn't a Weasley, Hermione, or Neville. The man would just have to wait.

Harry suddenly stopped in an open spot. "Stay under the cloak until I say 'Now!' then you're going to attack Voldemort from behind, got it?"

"Yes, Harry."

"VOLDEMORT!" Harry yelled, jumping out of the cloak. Lily looked around, waiting for her que.

She watched in awe as Harry and Voldemort circled each other, Harry explaining her father's true reasons for being a Death Eater. Lily looked around.

"Where's Lily?" Neville yelled. Many people looked in fear around for Lily. Not seeing her along the living, eyes scanned the dead.

"Expelliamus!"

"Avada Kadavra!"

"Now!"

Lily threw the cloak off. "Expelliamus!"

"Two against one?"

"LILY!"

"My daughter!" Lily saw Severus. He seemed terrified, yet proud.

When Voldemort looked to Severus, that's when he lost his guard and Lily and Harry's spells overpowered him. He died right on the spot. Harry ran to Lily and hugged her. She cried tears of joy. He let her go, noticing Neville was coming.

Lily and Neville kissed, and the crowd started cheering, including her father.

A/N: End, next chapter will up soon if you want to know about Lily and Neville in the future, if you don't, it's okay…
