"We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them,
Words that we couldn't say."
Harry looked around at his friends. "You guys need to stay. I don't want you there when this happens." He sighed. He knew they would try to force him to let them come anyway. His friends were too close to let him go off and do this alone.
Ron looked at his friend. "You know we won't just leave. We realize this is something that you fell all noble about and feel that you need to do, but we can't let you go by yourself." Harry looked down at the ground. Yes, he knew all of this, but he still didn't want them there.
"Look, we know how dangerous it will be. We also know that you can't do this alone, right?"
Harry looked at his friend. "Please, don't follow me," after a pause, "this is something I need to do, alone." He took a step backwards from his friends. "Please forgive me." He turned around and started to walk quickly away.
Hermione looked in the direction Harry was leaving. "So you're just going there to die? All of our friendship has come up to this point? Harry, don't you see? I love you; I can't just let you throw your life away! Please, Harry, don't die."
Ron looked at Hermione in shock. Harry looked at Hermione, "I'm not going there to die, I'm going there to find out if I was ever truly alive. You say you love me, perhaps you do, but if you really did, you would understand why I must do this." Hermione just looked at Harry. "You and Ron have a good life together. Know I love both of you, and it's because of love that I do this."
Hermione raised her hand in an attempt to stop him, but Ron put up his hand on her shoulder. She felt tears fighting for a chance to show them, and she quickly turned around, put her head on Ron's shoulder and cried. Ron looked at Harry. "You better live through this. I don't want two weeping women to have to care for. You're like a brother to me, and when all of this is done, we can be just like a family. Who knows, maybe one day we will be brothers." He winked at Harry.
Harry nodded his head, and bid his farewell to his friends knowing full well this was very likely to be the last time that he saw them. He walked down the passageway that would lead to the final confrontation. Ginny followed at a distance. "You should stay behind," Harry warned.
"You know I won't, so don't even try to make me stay away. Harry, I.... If anything were to happen to you that I could have stopped, then I wouldn't let me live with myself," Ginny said.
Harry looked sadly at Ginny. "I don't think I could survive if you died and I didn't because of this. Please, I ask you, go back." He watches her for a bit. Her face was dead set, and she showed no sign of going back. "Please, Ginny, please, for everyone, go back." He watched her for awhile. He walked on knowing she was following. There was nothing he could do nothing to change her mind. "Please, when things get ugly, help me by attacking Voldemort, don't try to defend me." He reached his final destination.
"Welcome Harry, so nice of you to join us. We were just getting ready to celebrate." Voldemort stood up to greet his guest. "Please, come and sit." He smiled at them. He was sure of his victory. Right now he was just playing with them.
"No, that's quite alright, I enjoy standing. Where is the punch? I'm slightly thirsty, it was along road," Harry replied. He wouldn't let him have all of the fun.
"Oh, I'm sorry, we just ran out of punch. I do hope you can forgive me for that minor inconvenience."
"I think I can over look it this time." The conversation was defiantly different then what one might expect between mortal enemies right before their final battle. Voldemort stood up.
"Well, I'm sorry if I dispense of the pleasantries and get down to business. I hope you don't mind terribly."
"Oh, yes, lets get this done with." Harry looked at Voldemort. Voldemort stood up and waved his want at Harry muttering "Crucio." Harry doubled over with pain, he saw it coming, but didn't react fast enough to stop it.
He stood up through the pain. He pointed his wand at Voldemort and shouted "simplex albus navitas!" A white blast of energy came out of his wand and headed towards Voldemort, knocking him back away from Harry.
"Looks like you have been finding new spells. You're not the only one." He glared at Harry and shouted "Lentus Avada Kedavra." Ginny heard the killing curse, and ran out in front of Harry before he could be hit by it. She was hit by the spell full on.
Harry ran over to Ginny. He propped her up in his arms. Her breath was starting to slow. "What did you do to her?"
"I killed her. Well, sort of, the spell slowly kills its victim. It's quite painful, at least that's what all of the people that had it placed upon them though." He smiled an evil smile at Harry.
"Harry," the weakened voice of Ginny said.
"Shh, Save your strength, after this, we can get you somewhere that can help." His voice trailed off knowing the impossibility of it.
"Harry," the weak voice continued, "This is all just a dream. A dream. Once it is over...I will be there with you... and..... We can be with... one another for.... Ever...." Her eyes closed, and she stopped breathing. Harry pulled what was left of Ginny into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Ginny, this shouldn't have happened like this." He looked up to the ceiling. Voldemort looked upon this happy to see him so hurt. It worked out better then he had planned. Harry felt his grief turn to anger. Anger at the one that killed Ginny, whom he had never told, but had loved. He felt his Anger and power start to swirl together.
Voldemort smiled at Harry and said "Expelliarmus." Harry's wand went flying away from him. Harry was so full of the anger and rage at Voldemort he didn't even notice. He had started to radiate white; magic started leaking from every pore of his body. It became a visible aura, and started to grow brighter and brighter. Voldemorts eyes widened at this. This was different then anything he had ever seen or heard of.
Harry looked at Voldemort; "You killed her... You killed Ginny." The aura of magic around him flared brighter and he glared at Voldemort.
Voldemorts eyes widened, and shouted "Crucio" at Harry. Harry took the curse on full blast and didn't even flinched. His grief was too much that he didn't even notice the pain. He shook from his feelings.
"You have killed everyone I have ever truly loved. I can't let you continue. I will not let you leave here, even if it means I won't either." He felt the anger boiling up, and with the anger came more of his magical self. He yelled out at the top of his lungs, and his white aura flared out and surrounded the area.
The aura slowly moved out away from Harry. Where the energy had passed, the ground started to show signs of life. Grass started sprouting, as did flowers. The energy approached Voldemort, who was backed up against a wall afraid of the energy. When it struck him, he let out a yell full of pain and fear. After awhile, the yelling stopped. Harry fell to the ground, feeling his life slipping away from him. He looked up and saw the remains of Voldemort. "He's dead, good... Now I can die.... And know that I left the world a new chance. Sorry Hermione... looks like I couldn't come... back. Ron, be nice to her." He crawled over to Ginny's corpse. "I'm so sorry Gin. Forgive me...." He fell on top of her, and let himself slip into the great beyond.
So now we just pray them,
Words that we couldn't say."
Harry looked around at his friends. "You guys need to stay. I don't want you there when this happens." He sighed. He knew they would try to force him to let them come anyway. His friends were too close to let him go off and do this alone.
