Chapter 35

The Elder Wand

"I don't want anyone else to try to help," Harry said, "It's got to be like this, it's got to be me," Voldemort hissed.

"Potter doesn't mean that," he sneered, "who are you going to use as a shield today?"

"No one," Harry said simply, There are no more Horcruxes. It's just you and me. Today one of us is going to leave for good,"

"One of us?" Voldemort asked, "you think it will be you do you, the boy who lived by accident, and because Dumbledore was pulling strings?"

"Accident was it then that my mother died to save me?" asked Harry, "accident when I decided to fight in the grave yard? Accident that I didn't defend myself tonight and still survived and return to fight you again?"

"Accidents!" screamed Voldemort.

"You wont be killing anyone else tonight," Harry said, "you wont be able to kill any of them ever again. Don't you get it? I was ready to die to stop you from hurting these people,"

"But you did not!"

"I meant to, and that's what did it," Harry said firmly, "I've done what my mother did. They're protected from you. Haven't you noticed that none of your spells are binding on them? You can't touch them. You don't learn from you mistakes, do you?"

"You dare?' Voldemort asked.

"Yes I dare," Harry said, "I know things you don't. I know lots of important things that you don't. Wanna here some before you make a big mistake?"
"Is it love again?" Voldemort asked, "Dumbledore's favorite solution, love? Well it seems that right now no one loves you enough to stop you from dying and take my curse. So what will stop you from dying now?"

"Just one thing," Harry said.

"What?" Voldemort asked, "if it's not love then you must believe you have magic I do not or else a weapon more powerful then mine?"

"I believe both,"

"More then I lord Voldemort that has done magic even Dumbledore can't do?"

"Oh he could do it," Harry said, "but he knew enough not to do what you have done,"

"He was weak!" screamed Voldemort.

"No he was better then you,"

"I brought about the death of Albus Dumbledore,"

"You thought you did," Harry said, "But you were wrong," Harry now had me stumped. I didn't understand anything really. How could Voldemort not bring it about?

"Yes Dumbledore's dead," Harry said, 'but you didn't have him killed. He chose his own manner of dying, arranged it with the man you thought was your servant. Severus Snape was never yours. Snape was Dumbledore's from the moment you decided to hunt down my mother. And you never realized it. You never saw Snape cast a Patrounous have you? Snape's was a doe. Like my mothers because he loved her for all his life. You should have realized,"

"He desired her, that was all," Voldemort said, "and afterwards he said that there were more worthy women out there,"

"Of course he told you that," Harry continued, "but he was Dumbledore's spy from the moment you threatened her. Dumbledore was already dying when he finished him,"

"It matters not!" Voldemort cried, "it doesn't matter at all. Dumbledore was trying to keep the Elder Wand from me! He intended that Snape should be the true master of the wand. But I got there ahead of you and got it before you could lay a finger on it. I understood the truth before you caught up," This was getting so confusing. Harry never told me anything about the wand or what they were really doing. So much for being in on the plan.

"Dumbledore's last plan went wrong!" Voldemort cried.

'Yes it did," Harry said calmly, "you're right. But before you try and kill me you better think and try for some remorse,'

"What is this?' Voldemort spat at Harry as they circled each other like 2 angry wolves waiting for the kill.

"It's your last chance," Harry said, "because Dumbledore's plan hasn't backfired on me at all. It's backfired on you. The wand isn't working properly for you because you killed the wrong person," Harry went on explaining how Snape never beat Dumbledore and how the true master of the elder wand was Draco Malfoy but he got overpowered by Harry so technically Harry was the new master of the wand. It made no sense. And that's when they started Dueling.

"Avada Kadavra!" Voldemort cried.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry called. The spells collided and I could see the elder wand go spinning through the air and the flash of green light rebound back to Voldemort. He was dead and the war was over.
