172. Neville and Lord Voldemort
**Hermione's POV**
As every student and professor walked out to the courtyard, we found Voldemort with his army. Hagrid was carrying someone.
"Who's that? Hagrid's carrying? Neville who is it?" Ginny asked.
Voldemort chuckled and yelled "Harry Potter, is Dead!"
Ginny then started yelling, trying to run to Harry, but Mr. Weasley held her down. Sirius almost fell, but the twins held him up.
"Silence!" Voldemort ordered. "Stupid girl. Harry Potter is dead. From this day forward, you put your faith in me."
"Like that's going to happen" The twins whispered.
"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort laughed with his followers.
"And now is the time to declare yourself. Come forward and join us" Voldemort said.
"Ya, like anyone would" George sighed, shaking his head.
"Or die" Voldemort added.
"Draco!" Mr. Malfoy whispered loudly.
We turned to Malfoy.
"Draco," Mrs. Malfoy said softly. "Come."
Malfoy bowed his head before going.
"What the hell?" Fred asked with disbelief as Malfoy went over to his parents after Voldemort.
Neville then stepped forward.
"Neville" I choked.
"No, no, no," Ron said, shaking his head.
Voldemort then something quite rude I believe as his followers and himself laughed at Neville, as I wasn't listening.
"But who might you be, young man?" Voldemort asked.
"Neville Longbottom," Neville said without thinking.
Death Eaters then laughed.
"Well, Neville, I'm sure we can find a place for your rank," Voldemort said.
Voldemort stared blankly before saying, "Well, Neville, I'm sure we'll all be fascinated to hear what you have to say."
"It doesn't matter that Harry's gone," Neville said.
"Stand down, Neville," Seamus said.
"People die everyday" Neville turned to him. "Friends, family. Ya, we lost Harry tonight, but he's still with us. In here" Neville touched his heart. "Everyone we love and care about. They didn't die in vain!"
Neville then turned back to Voldemort. "But you will! Because you're wrong! Harry's heart did beat for us! For all of us! It's not over!"
He then reached inside the Sorting Hat and pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor.
Harry's 'Dead' body then fell out of Hagrid's arms and ran away.
"Harry!" We all yelled.
"Fred! He's alive!" George yelled happily as Fred yelled the same time he did, "George! He's alive!"
"Inside! Everyone!" McGonagall said to everyone as they rushed into the castle.
I was about to be sucked into the crowd before Fred grabbed my hand.
"I'm not losing you just yet, 'Mione" He smiled.
"Neither am I for you" I smiled back and we ran into the castle.
With everyone dueling, spells were flying everywhere.
"Expelliarmus!" I yelled and the wizard Fred and I were dueling and flew into my hands.
"Levicorpus!" Fred pointed his wand and he made a Death Eater fly into a wall.
"Avada Kedavra!" Lestrange pointed her wand at Ginny, but missed merely.
Mrs. Weasley then stepped in front of her and yelled, "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!"
She then started shooting spells at Lestrange for about two minutes until Mrs. Weasley killed Lestrange for good. I turned to the twins and they were speechless.
"Oh Ginny dear, are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley hugged her.
"I'm fine Mum, but Fred and George aren't" Ginny looked over at her older brothers.
"Dear, close your mouths" Mrs. Weasley smiled.
"Mum, we never" George started.
"And we mean **NEVER** expected you two kill Bellatrix Lestrange" Fred said.
"The most mental woman on the planet," George added.
"That almost killed my wife" Fred ended.
"Thank you! Thank you, Molly!" Sirius hugged her.
"You're welcome, Sirius. Seeing as she almost killed you and Hermione, you'd be happy" Mrs. Weasley smiled brightly at Sirius.
Sirius then let go and took a deep breath before saying with a grin on his face, "Justice feels good."
"You didn't do the justice," Remus said.
"It still feels good seeing and knowing she's dead" Sirius snapped his fingers with that goofy grin on his face.
