Hi, Potterheads!

Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 26

The Power of love

Our six heroes had to rescue the other teachers and students. Harry and Hermione went to set Ron free. He was relieved when he saw his best friends ok. Also, the other students were happy. Harry spoke to them:

"If we want to regain our Hogwarts, we have to fight for it!"

"But, like last year many of us will die!" Pansy Perkinson said quite angry.

"No. Last year, the Slytherins didn't fight with the other students. I hope that this year you will join us because I know you are brave, daring and ambitious wizards too and I think that a big part of you, don't want to be judged as Death Eaters. So fight and prove to the world that you have something worth fighting for!" Harry ended his motivational speech.

"Oh, mate."Ron said."Your speech was so motivating! I feel like I can move mountains!" Everyone approved and applauded.

"I have to witness, Lils, his speech motivated me too." Severus whispered.

"That's our son! He has just made something that none did."

"He has convinced the Slitheryns to do something good." Sirius added.

"Sirius! No all the Slytherins are evil." Lily corrected him.

Harry joined their conversation:

"I and Hermione are going to kill Bellatrix."

"Wait! Why?"Lily asked.

"Well, we want to get revenge for what she had done to Hermione."Harry explained."You and dad can attack James. I know you want revenge."

"Harry, we-"

"You know, Lils, I'd really like to get revenge on him."

"Ok, then."

"What about me? Bellatrix killed me too! I want to get revenge too..." Sirius added using a childish voice.

"Sirius, you can help us too." Hermione assured him."So, the other students will fight against the Death Eaters."

"Yeah."Harry answered.

"Just be careful..."Lily told them.

"We will..." Harry promised her."You have to be aware too."

"Don't worry about us. I think I can protect your mother." Severus responded.

"I Know."

The students started to scream. The Death Eaters have heard the voices from the dungeons and now they were attacking everyone. The big battle has started.

"Good luck!"Harry said. He was worried by the fact that he could lose the people he loved the most. He followed Hermione and Sirius out of the castle, trying to find Bellatrix. Some Death Eaters tried to jinx them but they defended themselves. Bellatrix barely tortured Neville when they saw her. Her attention was distracted by Harry, Hermione, and Sirius.

"Look who is here. My Gryffindor cousin. I thought I killed you some years ago, didn't I? "

"Well, let's say that your lovely boyfriend had revived me somehow. I want to get revenge for killing me."

"You wish! Crucio!" Bellatrix yelled, but Sirius defended himself.

"Stupefy" Harry casted the spell behind Sirius and Bella barely fell down. She saw Harry and Hermione.

"Harry, you brought my puppet here!"

"I am not your puppet!" Hermione casted a spell that really pushed Bella down.

The Hogwarts grounds were covered in flames and wizards who were violently fighting for their own lives. Lily and Severus have found James, or it's better said that he has found them.

"What's your plan? To make Harry fight against me? His father? I am not sure if it is going to work." James said ironically.

Sev and Lily agreed before the battle that is better to don't let James know that Harry isn't his son. If they would have told him, then he will be able to kill Harry. He will consider Harry an ordinary person. If he knows that Harry is his son he won't kill him.

"Shut up and fight!" Severus yelled to him.

"What's wrong Snivellus? You are afraid of losing this battle? Of course, you are. You have no chance to win."

"We have many chances to win than you! Why do you think we can't win again, like last year?" Lily asked.

"Look there...on that field. What are you seeing there?" James asked proudly.

"It's an army...of infery!"

"It's coming here..."

"Yeah...there are like 1000 infery. That's my army. Bellatrix created them. And don't forget about my powerful Death Eaters."

Lily looked in Severus eyes with a concerned look. He looked back at her with a hopefully one. They drew out their wands and started to cast powerful spells.

"Infery?!" Harry said while fighting.

A huge group of Infery attacked them and Bellatrix ran trying to escape from the battle. She was just one. Sirius, Harry and Hermione were three.

"I can handle this infery!" Sirius told to Harry and Hermione."Go after Bellatrix and don't let her escape!"

"We'll manage it Sirius..." Harry answered.

"Harry! Wait! Keep this!" Sirius said and threw him a small blue pebble. Harry caught it surprised.

"What should I do with this?"

"It will help you! Just keep it."

Harry and Hermione followed Bellatrix near the Black Lake. There she yelled angrily to them:

"You! You two! You can't kill me! You are just two fool teenagers! You don't have any chance to win. Say goodbye to your mother and friends, Harry! You are too weak...it's useless even to try to fight against me!

"He's not alone. I am by his side and I'll always be! We have something that you don't have...we can love! This is the powerful power of this world! And even when you tried to break us apart, our love resisted and will resist forever! " Hermione said.

"Are you sure by that? Imperio!" Bella yelled and her spell hit Hermione. Her eyes were purple now.

"Hermione? Are you Ok?" Harry asked worried.

She didn't answer.

"I control her now! Hermione, kill him!"

"This is impossible!"

Hermione drew out her wand and pointed it to Harry. He moved backwards, but his girlfriend followed him. He started to run to the Forbidden Forest while Bellatrix and Hermione were running after him. He barely tripped over some roots, but continued to run.

But how long will he run? Will Hermione be able to kill him? Why all this was happening? All was alright...till that bloody viper cursed his girlfriend.

"Potter! Why are you still running? You will fall soon!"Bellatrix yelled.

"No way!"

"I don't like sweating! Stupefy!"

Bellatrix' spell hit Harry's foot. He felt over the ground on some roots of a thick tree. He reclined his back on that tree and sighed. Hermione was in front of him and Bellatrix was behind her. He was tired and his foot was injured. He couldn't stand up. That was all.

"Hermione, what are you waiting for? Kill him!"

Harry couldn't move, but observed that Hermione's eyes were tearful. She had the wand pointed to him, but she couldn't pronounce the killing curse.

"I...I can't..." Hermione whispered.

"What? I ordered you to kill him! Now!"

"Harry, I am so sorry...I can't control myself. I will never forgive me for this..."

Hermione burst into tears and apologized again:

"Sorry! This spell is so strong! I can't face it!"

"Hermione, I trust you! I know you are stronger than you think! And there is something more powerful than that curse! Our love!"

They made eye contact and Hermione's eyes started to become hazel again. She felt her inner strength more powerful than ever. Harry gave her hope and she has known from the start that she couldn't be able to kill Harry.

"Now! You mudblood!"

"No! I won't!" Hermione yelled to Bellatrix and threw herself in Harry's arms on the ground.

"What? How could this happen? None broke the Imperius Curse! Never! Then, I'll kill you both by myself! Avada Kedavra!"
