Hermione's POV

2nd May, 1998

Everyone was dying.

I could hear the screams and shouts, the cries of pain, the fading voices, the thuds of bodies falling. I could feel the tears falling down my face as I scanned the battles going on around me.

"Mudblood!" I flinched as I heard Bellatrix screeching voice. I spun around to face her see her flash me a crazed grin before a bright green light came flashing my way. My eyes widened and I moved out of the way just in time as the deathly spell flew passed me and hit a passing Death Eater.

My breathing came quicker and I glared at Bellatrix whilst gritting my teeth in anger. I had seen her kill Ginny and Molly Weasley before any of the Order could help them.

I stood up on shaky legs and stalked towards her, her crazed grin faltering with each step I took. She was now glaring at me with so much hatred you would think I had murdered her husband which by the way I actually had minutes before.

Rodolphus Lestrange was as crazy as his wife, he was even scarier aswell because Rodolphus didn't just want to kill me he wanted to have some 'fun'. I have to say his idea of fun is completely opposite to a normal persons. When he had me cornered and talking about all the 'fun' we could have together I barely had seconds to cast the unforgivable before he had his way with me.

So now here I was facing off against his revenge wanting wife who was as crazy as he was.

"Bellatrix, come to join your husband I see" I smiled innocently at her and she screeched in anger at me.

"How dare you! You filthy little Mudblood! You'll be joining all of your friends long before I join poor Rodolphus". I almost felt guilty as I noticed a tear slide down her face. If it wasn't for the fact that she had killed most of the people lying dead around me.

My grip on my wand tightened and it twitched at the insulting name for muggle-borns. I glared and noticed her wand twitch but before she could do anything my wand flew up and I screamed.

"Avada Kedavra!" I watched as Bellatrix's eyes widened in shock and disbelief before she was hit with the killing curse and crumpled to the floor. I let our a shaky breath and a sob as I added another person to the number of people I had killed.

I kept reminding myself that I had to and that they all deserved it but I still hated myself for taking a life.

I heard a scream of terror from behind me and I spun around. Luna Lovegood one of my closest friends was cornered by Fenrir Greyback, the blood thirstiest werewolf around. I watched as Luna fled backwards into a wall and screamed again as Greyback reached out for her with his mouth foaming.

My eyes widened and I sent another killing curse soaring towards the werewolf. Unfortunately he heard my shout and jumped out of the way just as it flew past where his chest had been moments before. Luna noticing Greyback's attention was away from her quickly grabbed her wand of the floor and ran towards me.

I pulled her into a hug and shuddered at the though of losing the girl who was my sister in everything but blood. I heard a growl and turned my head slightly to see Greyback glaring at us. I felt Luna shiver in fear next to me and I grabbed her hand with my left hand and squeezed it tightly.

We both raised our wands and yelled "Stupefy!" the spell it the werewolf's chest sending him flying backwards into a tree on the outskirts of the forbidden forest. I glanced around us and noticed that the rest of the order seemed to be falling to the Death Eaters.

I noticed Ron take down a Death Eater to my right and I noticed Harry facing of Voldemort further behind him. I pulled Luna into a hug and whispered "I love you" I pulled back to look at her as more tears slid down my face "just remember that ok".

She nodded and stared at me with fear filled wide eyes "Hermione, I . . . I love you too, you always accepted me when everyone else thought I was weird. I don't want to die but if I die beside you fighting bravely then I'm sure I can die with some piece" I brought her into a tighter hug and we both sobbed before quickly letting go and grabbing her hand again.

With one last squeeze I smiled at her "Let's take down as many as we can before we join all our loved ones on the other side" she grinned back and we both ran hand in hand towards the main battle.

I noticed Percy Weasley get hit with a dark curse to my left and sent a curse of my own to the Death Eater who had done it. Luna was flinging curses to any Death Eaters we passed and I soon joined her. We both may have looked a little like Bellatrix with our hair flying wildly around and our faces scrunched up in anger and sadness and part glee that we were taking down so many foe.

Just as I was getting close to where Voldemort and Harry were flinging curses at each other I noticed Nagini, Lord Voldemort's snake bite Ron and I screamed his name in horror.

He glanced up and stared me straight in the eyes letting me see so many emotions that I felt overwhelmed before he fell to the ground and closed his eyes. I screamed with grief and Luna held onto me tightly.

"Hermione, we have to finish this. Remember Nagini is a Horcrux, you can get revenge whilst taking down something vital at the same time." It was strange hearing Luna's voice so serious instead of her usual dreamy tone. I blinked in realisation before nodding.

It was a strange thing to be fighting a gigantic snake with Luna at my side but we fought with everything we had and by the end the snake ended up losing its head over a very nasty Sectumsempra spell. We both paused to catch our breaths before jumping back into the battle and cursing any Death Eater that got in our way. Who knew there were so many Death Eater's around.

Just as we reached the battle between The-Boy-Who-Lived and the Dark Lord we heard two spells being sent.

Harry's voice was barely recognisably due to his exhaustion "Stup-".

I watched in horror as his spell was cut of by Voldemort's curse "Avada Kedavra".

My eyes widened as the green light flew at Harry and sent him flying backwards until he was skidding along the floor towards where Luna and I stood frozen. We heard yells of joy from surrounding Death Eaters and some screams of horror and disbelief from the only people in the Order that were alive.

I bent down next to Harry and stroked his cheek "Harry" I gulped down a cry and took a deep breath before smiling sadly at his still wide eyes "your with your parents now, you're with the Weasley's" I bent down and kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear "I love you and please tell Ron I love him too". I closed his eyes as Luna took my hand in hers and pulled me up.

I watched as the remaining Death Eater's sent killing curses at the last members of the Order leaving me and a trembling Luna staring standing hand in hand before Lord Voldemort.

I looked at Luna as the Death Eaters slowly made a circle around us and their Lord "I'm sorry Luna, I'm sorry I couldn't save you and everyone else" when she looked at me her tears mixed blood I smiled slightly before making my face as emotionless as I could and turning around to face our death.

Even though all I wanted to do was curl up and cry for all those that I had lost, for all those I couldn't save I stood in front of Voldemort just five foot away from us with my head held high and my chocolate brown eyes stared into his glowing red ones defiantly.

His voice sent shivers down my spine as he spoke to his Death Eaters who by now had surrounded us. I could feel Luna shake beside me and I squeezed her hand in comfort. "Let us enjoy our winning of these War, not that there was any doubt I would win of course. The-Boy-Who-Just-Wouldn't-Die is finally dead, the wizarding world is ours and soon the Muggle world will be as well and we have Harry Potter's Best Friend in our midst."

I shuddered as everyone looked at me but didn't stop glaring at Voldemort who continued speaking with a hint of victory and amusement taking over his tone. "One third of the so called Golden Trio, the smartest witch the wizarding world has seen since the founders of Hogwarts themselves" he took a step closer until he was right in front of me.

I flinched as his snake like hand stroked my cheek and his horrid breath blew on my face "she will be a great prize because without her the wizarding world would have been ours years ago" he turned his back on Luna and I and walked to the head of the circle "with her brains and mine put together we will take over the world with ease". I frowned slightly hoping that he didn't want to take out my brain and actually add it to his.

I flushed red in anger as his eyes raked over my body "not bad looks either" his eyes slid to Luna and I heard her whimper slightly under his gaze "I do not need your friend though Miss Granger so I am afraid she will have to go".

"No!" I gritted my teeth and stood in front of Luna making sure to still hold her hand.

Voldemort's eyes narrowed "do you disobey me girl? It would be wise if you didn't or else you would have to be punished" I remained silent "good, now just hand over the girl and you will be some what unharmed".

I glared at him and shouted "No! You will have to kill me because there is no way I will ever help anyone like you".

I didn't have time to get out of the way as he cast the Cruciatus Curse on me. I fell to the floor and gritted my teeth against the scream that wanted to escape as pain slid over my body. I shuddered and gasped when he took it off but did not let go of Luna's hand who still held on tightly to my hand. She now had new tears sliding down her face.

Voldemort's voice was quiet so I new that he was beyond angry "hand over the girl and live".

I pushed myself up and breathed deeply before glaring at Voldemort again "never" my voice was weak and came out like a whisper but he heard me and his eyes flashed in anger before he sent another Cruciatus Curse my way.

This time I couldn't help the scream that left my mouth and filled the air surrounding the Hogwarts ruins. I screamed over and over as the pain doubled but not once did I loosen my hold on Luna's hand.

After what seemed like hours he took off the curse and I looked up at Luna who was holding me in her arms. She was sobbing uncontrollably now and it hurt to see her so heartbroken "just do it Hermione, please I can't let you get hurt for me. He'll just kill me anyway. There's no way out of this" I weakly hugged her with all the strength I had left in me and held on for dear life.

Voldemort's voice was distorted with rage now "just give in, you will follow my rules for I am the most powerful". I moved slightly so I could glare straight at him and weakly croaked out a "go to hell".

The pain of this next curse would have probably killed me if Luna wasn't clinging to me and I wasn't clinging back with everything I had, wishing with all my might that Luna could be somewhere safe. My screams somehow seemed louder even though I could barely talk.

I was in so much pain and I could feel exhaustion wanting to take over but I couldn't let it win, I couldn't let Voldemort win. I had tears falling down my face by the time the curse ended and my body felt like it was about to fall apart.

"Enough of this, Malfoy grab Miss Granger" My eyes widened in horror as I realised I wouldn't be able to fight him off, I was just feeling to weak. I felt strong arms grab me and haul me up and pull me away from a shivering and sobbing Luna. I started crying and digging my nail's into Malfoy's arms but it didn't do any good, he didn't let go.

I saw Voldemort raise his wand from the corner of my eye and instincts took over. I grabbed Malfoy's arm and bit it, he screamed in rage, pain and disgust but let go and I ran towards Luna who noticed I was free and started running towards me just as the killing curse was sent from Voldemort's wand and towards her.

When we reached each other we hugged and squeezed our eyes shut just as a green light smashed into our sides and surrounded us.

The light was surprisingly warm and I felt surprisingly calm as darkness took over.


Okkkkk … my next chapters will hopefully be better then this and the next one will explain more of what is going to happen.
