Harry Potter and the Dark Defenses
Chapter 39 ***Dark Falling***
Severus pushed himself up and looked around. The stone's around him were scorched from the explosion and the only place left whole was the spot he was lying on. He breathed a sigh of relief that his shield had held and rose shakily to his feet.
Looking around again he saw a full skeleton lying against the wall, a pair of burst robes covering it. A wand lay in its bony hand and Severus recognized it as Voldemort's.
The Dark Lord was dead. Truly dead.
Severus cast a silent thank you at the heavens then saw a bundle of black robes curled up on the floor not far from the skeleton. He froze as he saw the mop of unruly black hair.
"Potter."
Severus moved quickly over to the fallen wizard's side and rolled him over. The emerald green eyes were closed and the face was relaxed, as if in sleep. But the lightning bolt scar had split open, sending blood running in rivulets down Harry's face. Severus felt for a heartbeat.
He found none.
Harry was dead.
Severus bowed his head over the still body then rose and began to walk off. He would return later for both bodies.
Just as he had gotten through the rotting doors of the Great Hall he heard a weak cough from behind him. Severus whirled around and stared at what he was seeing.
"Potter?"
A/N: That's ominous. ^^ I need reviews. Feeeeeeeeeed me.
