A.N: Well let's review the facts. Draco and Lucius are both semi-good. And now they're dead. Voldemort's about to reveal why he could never kill Harry. And he's about to kill Harry…… and everyone else.
Chapter 10
Voldemort was pacing back and forth across the circle, "So," he said, "When you said that I could never kill you Harry, that was both true and false. I never could kill you while you were with out one person."
Harry seemed to have no clue as to what he was talking about. Voldemort seemed to be getting impatient, "I want you to know this before you die. Let me ask you this, 'who has never been with you when I attacked?" Voldemort was sneering. He seemed to think that knowing this information, he was more important than Harry.
It was Lavender who came up with answer, "Hermione!" she said, "Hermione is the one person who was never with us when Voldemort attacked. Like in our fifth year, Hermione was in the Hospital Wing."
Comprehension was dawning on everyone's faces. Voldemort continued his little speech, "Every year I tried to kill you, I failed. Then I was reading an old spell book. It gave me the knowledge of why I couldn't kill you. I needed your partner there to kill too."
"Ummmm Hermione, do you have any idea what he's talking about, particularly since you're the person in question?" Ron said.
"I do remember something about soul mates and how they are connected. And about how they can't be beaten without the other one there," Hermione said, "But I would have to have been there when it happened for Harry not to have died."
"It was a curious thing mud blood how things happen. When I tried to kill Potter, a car with a muggle couple in it drove by. They had a screaming baby girl in the car. She seemed to be sensing the same pain as Harry"
Harry and Hermione seemed to be having trouble piecing this together it was too odd for words. Ron and Lavender seemed to be able to understand it though. Ron seemed to be in deep thought until he burst out, "Hermione do you have a scar somewhere on your forehead?"
Hermione looked thoughtful, then said, "Yes I do, on the side of my forehead. My parents said it was from when I hit a table when I was one."
"Let us see it" Ron said. Hermione lifted her bangs. Ron looked and said, "She does have a scar. It's shaped like a cloud."
Before anyone else could see it, Voldemort said, "That will do! You are my victims and I need to do what I set out to do sixteen years ago! But we need to do this in the gentlemen's way. First Harry, Ron, and I will duel."
