Letting her powers go she turned back so her full attention was on the battle and saw that almost fifty aurors had arrived into the battle and were finishing off any death eaters she'd missed.

And standing several feet away with Sirius unconscious by his feet was Voldemort.

Now . . .

Hermione gasped she couldn't help it. He turned his attention on her in the form of a smirk. How could she have been so stupid to let herself get so distracted that he'd got past her and taken Sirius?

She faced him and knew immediately that everything came down to this, the final battle just 20 years early. Maybe he had the Horcruxes but he only had a few, he didn't have Harry or Nagini.

She turned her thoughts back to the battle and saw that the remaining death eaters and the aurors had formed a circle around them. Just standing there.

Waiting.

She looked into his cold blank face and saw a smirk playing around his mouth.

"Something crawl up you're Tom?" she questioned in a falsely bright voice.

His smirk faltered as shock replaced the gloating grin. There she had him; all she needed to do was to draw him away from Sirius.

"Shall we get this over with?"

'Yess we had," he said stepping over Sirius's body as she backed up, the crowd making more space for them to duel in.

So they battled.

"Avada Kerdavra."

She dodged easily "tom stop trying to kill me it won't work, you also might want to think of new spells that ones pretty basic."

The answer came in Cruciatus, which hit her straight in the stomach making her double over screaming in agony. But as soon as it was sent it was lifted.

Looking up she saw Ginny slamming into a tree as Voldemort picked himself of the ground. Clever little witch, she jumped on him.

So the battle continued.

20 Minutes later . . .

She just stood there as Voldemort cast his millionth spell; it hit me dead in the stomach. She guessed that's the price you pay when trying to see if the others have got Sirius to safety yet.

Then an idea came to her, her animagus form.

One up already she loved this game. Let's have a bit of fun shall we? Asked Bob

Yes we shall.

"You know tom, I know a lot of things about you that you can barley remember, you're so twisted in evil."

"Don't call me Tom."

"It's your name isn't it? I thought so. How about Tom Marvolo Riddle then? Heir of Slytherin? Yes Tom I know abut you. You opened the chamber of secrets and killed Myrtle because she was muggleborn. But it didn't matter did it? You blamed Hagrid so you could stay at the school you love so much.

You have no friends, you never did have and you never will. You operated alone. When you die and believe me you will die I will destroy your Horcruxes so none of your little friends can bring you back. And you can't do anything; you have 6 already, and don't forget you won't be able to make more. You're soul is damaged beyond repair, you've destroyed yourself."

He simply glared at her as though daring her to carry on.

She carried on, she could see him twitching he wanted to see how much she knew and after that he was going to try and kill her. "I know things abut you Tom that would destroy everything. You killed you're uncle didn't you?

The only family member you had left. You didn't kill him though did you? You just left him to the dementors. You killed your father though. It wasn't his fault your mother fell in love with him was it?"

She chanced a look behind him while he puzzled over how she knew everything.

Sirius was safe.

"Expelliarmus," she muttered then before she could back down she said, "Avada Kerdavra."

A bright green light erupted from Harry's wand, I used the wrong wand she though before she blacked out.
