Here's the battle scene!
Chapter 21
Last Time:
"I see what you mean" Harry smiles.
"Good" Alex looks down. Harry forces Alex to look up at him. He leans forward and kisses her.
"I love you Alex" Harry whispers against her lips. Alex smiles in the kiss.
"I love you too" Alex wraps her arms around his neck, as he wraps his around her waist.
Alex has found something to live for. Her love for family, friends and Harry.
Now:
As Alex sticks her head out into the corridor, she sees it is clear.
"Come on" Alex whispers leading the way to the great hall. The Order of the Phoenix is there: Fred and George Weasley, Molly and Arthur Weasley, Bill and Fleur Weasley, Tonks, Lupin and Sirus Black. As they arrive to the great hall, Alex flashes in with Harry holding her hand. They appear within the crowd of Gryffindors. None of them takes notice.
"All students and teachers who have been helping Harry Potter into the castle, gets faced with drastic measures. Unless they take a step forward now" Snape tells them. Alex and Harry steps forward and into the open.
"You need to tighten up on your guards Professor" Harry tells him with a smirk as the Order and DA members that graduated, steps forward and into the great hall. Snape fires a disarming spell at Harry but McGonagall blocks it, shocking everything but Alex and Snape. Snape fakes a gasp and the two of them battles each other, lightly.
Snape desperates and smashes the window behind him. Alex sends a binding curse on the Carrows, before they are able to attack them.
Just then Voldemort's voice breaks out.
"We are not here to fight Hogwarts students and staff. We only came for Harry Potter. Give him to me in the next hour. We are in the Dark Forest waiting. You have until 11pm" Voldemort tell them, "Also give me Alex Russo. I need to speak with her and you may not see her again"
"GET THEM!" a Slytherin student shouts. The DA and Order surrounds Harry and Alex, not allowing anyone to get near them.
"You do and I will curse you" Luna threatens.
"Students in the corridor! Students in the corridor!" Alex watches in amusement as Flitch runs in.
"They are supposed to be idiot!" McGonagall snaps, "Now escort Ms. Parkinson's to the headmasters' office to get sent home. Including the students under year 5 and the Slytherins" many students groan, but do what they are told.
All of you have a choice. You can either stay and fight or go to the office to go home" McGonagall tells the other students. Many people stays, but some goes. Alex watches as Jo, Ollivander and Griphook arrive with Dobby and Kreacher.
"We are here to help you fight Mr. Potter" Dobby tells Harry excitedly.
"I just got dragged along" Griphook snaps, before leaving with a crack.
~A&H~
As Alex and Harry looks around, watching teachers put up protective spells and Neville and Seamus run to the bridge to put up explosives, they see everyone taking stands. Hermione and Ron have their hands laced together like Harry and Alex does.
"Which ones are we down to?" Ron asks Harry.
"Nagini" Harry answers.
"And you" Alex points out. Harry looks at Alex and nods.
"And me"
"And that is where me and Dumbledore's plan comes in. We have to kill Nagini first before the Horcrux inside you. This is why Dumbledore gave you the Deathly Hallows. The stone is the Resurrection Stone, and then your cloak is the Cloak of Invisibility. We are to put the stone together right as he fires the killing curse at you. Dumbledore put a charm on it to bring you back to life. Even without it, you will be alive. The piece that he kills is the Horcrux. Not you. As for me, he will just want me dead. He will want to do it for himself" Alex tells him. Harry hands her the two halves of the stone.
"You need it more than me Ally" Harry whispers and kisses her. Alex takes the stone and puts it in her pocket.
"Let's go kill the snake" Ron and Hermione nods and the four of them runs side by side.
~H&A~
As 11pm arrives, Voldemort sends his Death Eaters in. He destroyed the shield that the teachers put up and found out that the wand doesn't work for him right. Voldemort arrives to the boat shack and hasn't discovered that Alex is on the bar on the ceiling with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Snape apparates and gets bitten by Nagini. Voldemort leaves as Nagini stays and keeps attacking Snape.
Alex grabs the sword from Hermione and falls to the ground. She slices Nagini's head off and quickly gives Snape the potion. Snape drinks the potion and smiles as Alex as all his wounds heal and the venom of Nagini gets pushed out of his body.
"Thank you" Snape smiles and hugs Alex as he gets up. He looks at the dead snake at their feet, "you SERIOUSLY hate snakes" the teens' looks at the snakes to see not only the head cut off but stab wounds and pieces of snake everywhere.
"I'm gone!" Alex runs out of the shack and they all hear Alex get sick in a bush.
~A&H~
As 1am arrives, Voldemort calls off the war. Harry and Alex are currently walking into the forest hand in hand. They have the stone in their laced hands, as one.
They step out from the trees and stands in front of Voldemort.
"You came. You both couldn't see your friends die?" Voldemort teases. A few first years stayed behind to fight, and Snape is currently bringing them back to life with a potion.
"No" Alex shakes her head, "just do what you have to do, but leave them alone!" Voldemort nods and sends the killing curse at them. The curse hits them and makes them go flying into the air.
~H&A~
Harry weakly opens his eyes as he hears voices.
"Are you ok my lord?" he hears Bellatrix ask.
"I'm fine!" Voldemort snaps, "Is he dead?" Harry hears footsteps and closes his eyes again.
"Is Draco alive?" Harry hears Narcissa ask.
"Yes" Harry whispers.
"He's dead" Narcissa calls out.
"Check Russo" Harry opens one eye and sees Narcissa staring at him as she checks Alex.
She's alive
Narcissa mouths to him.
"She's dead too" Narcissa tells them.
"Good. We bring them up to the castle with us at dawn. Until them, leave them" Harry hears footsteps fade away and Narcissa leave as well. Harry opens his eyes completely and looks at Alex.
"You ok?" Harry whispers to Alex. Alex turns her head and smiles at him with her eyes open.
"Ya. You?" Harry nods.
"I'm glad you are ok"
"Me too" Harry quickly kisses Alex, before they fake dead again. To their unnoticeable eyes, Bellatrix is spying on them.
"I'm proud of you Russo" Bellatrix whispers to herself, "you deserve happiness. I will make sure you and Potter will survive this war. You showed me the light"
~A&H~
As dawn arrives, the time is now 8am. Voldemort has Hagrid carry Alex and Harry up to the castle.
"POTTER AND RUSSO ARE DEAD!" Voldemort shouts as they enter the courtyard. All the Hogwarts students, staff and Order of the Phoenix walk out. Everyone begins to cry, seeing Alex and Harry.
"If any of you want to join me to keep your family and friends alive, step forward" Voldemort tells them.
"Expelliarmus!" Alex and Harry shout at the same time, and Bellatrix, Lucius and Narcissa sends the EXACT same spell as well. All five of them hit Voldemort making him explode. Voldemort turns to ash, as the Ministry locks all Death eaters in a cage... including the Malfoy family and Bellatrix.
"Thank you for making me see the light Russo" Bellatrix smiles at Alex for the first time, "I will gladly take my sentence in Azkaban"
All the Death Eaters vanish with the police people. Hagrid hugs Alex and Harry before putting them on the ground.
"You both scared me" Hagrid whispers to them as their friends and family tackles them with hugs. Alex sees Lupin and Tonks on the left talking with Molly, Arthur, Sirus and Snape. On the right she sees Neville, Luna, Ginny and Max all holding hands with their partners. Alex looks behind her to see families hugging their children/parents/siblings. In front of her, she sees Harry grinning at her. Everyone is all covered in scars, cuts, and bruises and/or bleeding somewhere on their face and arms. Hermione and Ron are next to them and Alex sees Fred and George, who got his ear cut off, talking to Snape. Fred has a bruised eye as George has no ear.
"I'm so happy that this is all over" Alex sighs in relief. Alex then stands of her tiptoes looking for Justin, "where's Justin?" Alex looks at Hermione and Ron.
"He's making out with Jo" Ron points to the left and there is Jo and Justin, indeed making out.
"Well I see he has a girlfriend" Alex smirks.
"Same with Max" Harry point at Max and Ginny who are making out now too.
"And you are dating Harry" Hermione finishes. Alex rolls her eyes.
"You and Ron are dating" Alex fires back grinning.
"True" Hermione nods. The four of them laughs and all laces hands, as they begin to walk in the sunny, blue sky, along the falling apart bridge.
"Everyone survived the war. No deaths on our end" Hermione tells the others grinning.
"Is that because Snape made that potion?" Alex asks.
"Yes" Hermione nods as she wraps her arm around Alex's shoulders. Hermione's left hand is laced with Ron's right, and Alex's right is laced with Harry's left.
"I'm glad everyone is alive" Ron smiles.
"I'm just plain happy that everything is normal again and there are not dangers ahead of us now" Harry tells them.
Hermione, Ron and Alex nods as they all stops and looks out at the mountains on their left. Alex pulls out the Elder Wand from his pocket.
"Dumbledore told me that, that wand belongs to you now. You disarmed Malfoy earlier this year and won his wand. It yours" Alex tells him.
"Maybe it can fix my wand" Harry pulls out his old wand. He whispers the spell and they all watch as Harry's wand repairs itself.
"There you go" Hermione smiles as Harry plays with it. He snaps the Elder Wand in half and throws it over the edge.
"My wand is fixed, so I don't have any need for that one" Harry grins. Alex rolls her eyes and hugs him gently.
"You never have to worry about Voldemort anymore. You are finally free" Harry looks at his girlfriend. He hugs her back and gently kisses her.
"You're right. Do you still have that mark?" Alex lifts her sleeve and they all see the mark still there... not moving. The snake is not there anymore, but the skull is bleeding.
"I guess it means that he is dead... for good" Alex smiles, "everyone is finally free" Hermione, Ron and Harry all attack Alex with a hug, knowing exactly what she means.
Everyone is free and can live life to the fullest.
