Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Last chapter: Harry revealed his secret technique the soul and body destroyer. Hermione finds out she had been put under the total control spell and that was why 'she' had said those things to Harry. And Voldemort shows up awaiting Harry's challenge.

Begin chapter 8: The power of love and tears

"Why, hello Mr. Potter, I believe you had a challenge for me?" he asked.

"Hello again Tom and yes" Harry replied. Everyone watched Voldemort look angry at being called Tom.

"I want to test your magical creatures against mine before we do battle" he asked.

"What's he up to?" Harry wondered. Then all of Harry's animals/creatures came out and stood ready. Everyone was surprised that the dragon was as big as a house, his griffins were almost as big as half-giants, the two phoenixes had both grown and were only about four inches bigger than they had been when everyone last saw them. But imagine the shock of everyone, except Voldemort and Harry, when a one hundred and thirty-foot snake slithered out onto the field.

Voldemort called out some incantations that couldn't be heard. And almost exact clones of his current animals appeared. But there was one more, this one was pure black and stood about twelve feet high. It had wings that looked like knives. It had fangs and flames appeared on its feet.

Everyone turned as they heard "I will start the fighting him and Harry you may join in if I can't finish the job"

The creatures were battling and Harry was watching. As he watched, all the animals were exhausted but Voldemort and Albus weren't stopping.

He watched in horror as every creature collapsed and tried to get back up to continue.

At that moment Albus and Voldemort landed, Voldemort raised his sword while Albus raised his staff.

"This is horrible" Hermione said. "They have to stop" Ron said. All the other Weasleys nodded in agreement.

Finally Dumbledore raised his staff and began to power his attack, Voldemort raised his sword and also charged his.

Harry saw this and then remembered the private lesson he got from his Deviation teacher.

~~Flashback~~

"A great battle will take place and many creatures may die. The only shimmer of hope will put his life in the way to prevent all from being destroyed."

~~End Flashback~~

"Well this isn't too great of a battle" Harry thought.

Then he turned and looked at the 'light' forces and to his surprise everywhere he looked there was fighting.

The light forces had Centaurs, Unicorns, Some Giants and half-giants, Aurors, Mermaids, phoenixes, a few werewolves (In this Remus and his allied werewolves have control of there forms) and to his small surprise their stood Sirius with fluffy, a few dragons that Charlie had gotten.

But the 'dark forces were also there.

The dark forces had Dementors, Willows, Death eaters, they also had some giants and half-giants, a few werewolves, a larger amount of dragons and large amounts of snakes, except Basilisk's.

Harry thought this was at least one good thing. But when he saw all the animals nearly dead from exhaustion.

Harry looked at Albus and Voldemort, neither was going to give up and neither showed signs of exhaustion.

They had prepared another attack to launch at each other. Harry had already made up his mind; he started to run and ran straight into the middle of the attacks'. They both hit and engulfed Harry.

"Harry" everyone, even Snape and Voldemort (except Voldemort yelled Potter), yelled.

The smoke began to clear and everyone saw Harry fall to the ground glowing and then he turned a grayish color.

Then his phoenix's flew over and cried as many tears as they could but none were having affect, his griffins roared as loud as they could, his dragon kept putting more and more thunder into each attack trying to wake him up. His snake kept hissing and everyone looked into its eyes and they actually felt the pain of losing a friend.

Voldemort stared in shock and Voldemort fell and then they actually heard Dumbledore sob out "This is my fault, I am so sorry Harry"

Voldemort looked at all his fighters "He was willing to kill himself to stop us from hurting all these creatures from hurting each other, he was stronger than I could ever be"

Sirius, Remus, Hermione, Ron and all of his other friends including Draco ran to Harry and just stared in shock.

Draco spoke "He defended me against my father and told me I was better than he was and he helped me get stronger, he was a true friend"

Remus and Sirius started to cry when Sirius yelled "No Harry" and collapsed. By now everyone began to cry. Unicorns and death eaters cried after seeing someone so brave give his life so he could save the creatures.

Now the green egg that Salazar had given to Harry was beginning to glow a faint green.

It disappeared and appeared twenty feet above Harry and began to glow. Every tear that was cried began to go to the egg. His snake, griffins, phoenixes, dragon, owl and his new fairy started to cry. Albus and Hagrid were crying the hardest.

Even Voldemort let out a tear or two (don't forget he is the dark lord). Then Hermione leaned to his ear and whispered, " I love you Harry" she then kissed him on the lips and she started to cry as well.

The glowing green egg began to glow even brighter, then it flew into stone Harry's chest. He began to glow and he turned back to his usual color. As Harry opened his eyes and saw Hermione crying. He slowly raised his hand and gently wiped her tears away and said "Don't cry, you don't look as pretty"

She looked up in shock and yelled "Harry, you're alive" and then she pulled him into a extremely long kiss.

Voldemort coughed and the asked loudly "How long can those two hold their breath because that has to be some kind of record"

Everyone saw the green egg shoot out of Harry and go threw Voldemort and his followers.

"What did it do?" Voldemort asked.

"It rid you of all your great evil and got rid of the dark mark from all your arms" Harry replied.

"That egg revives your body and gives you one chance to change you destiny"

Voldemort sneered and said, "Well now that my 'nice' phase is done, you and I have a battle to attend to Potter"

Harry got up and transformed into his dark unicorn form and Voldemort transformed into his snake form. Harry held his own and Voldemort was about to launch his acid when Harry had reverted but then Harry began to grow again. But this time the form looked like some kind of armor.

"What is that?" Voldemort hissed.

"This is my ultimate form, Lightning sword," Harry said and a sword began to form out of thunder.

Harry and Voldemort went after each other.

Albus was watching and he thought "They are almost even, Voldemort fights for the evil things while Harry fights for good, Voldemort uses Strength and Anger while Harry uses Speed and knowledge. But while Voldemort has more experience, Harry is fighting for those he loves"

Finally Harry decided to try a good attack. Harry charged at Voldemort but then called out Soul destroyer.

Voldemort felt a large amount of his power leave him.

"What did you do to me?" he shrieked.

"That attack drains you of your magic abilities and leaves you weakened but it also is exhausting to use."

Harry noticed Ron who had picked up Voldemort's sword and was behind him. Harry nodded and Ron brought the sword down and after it made contact with a part of his neck, Voldemort turned determined to at least kill the boy who attacked him, but Harry teleported Ron away.

Voldemort turned and said "If I go Potter you will go with me" He walked toward Harry but to every ones surprise Draco stepped in front of Harry with his sword raised.

"Move aside Malfoy" Voldemort demanded.

"No, you want Harry you are going to go through me" he took a defensive stance.

Albus smiled at this and saw many other students do the same.

The Weasley twins, Percy, Charlie, Arthur, Sirius, Remus, McGonagall, Hermione, Ginny, many of the Slytherins, Cho and the Ravenclaws, a few of the Hufflepuffs, Hagrid And Snape.

Ron had run all the way back; Harry had teleported him to the Gryffindor common room. He arrived and helped Harry up.

They saw many of the old death eaters, and other followers of Voldemort also join them.

Harry stood and soon found Albus next to him; he smiled at Dumbledore who smiled back.

He called out to Voldemort "You see Voldemort, we all want peace not to live in your fear."

Voldemort shouted, "You will all pay for your betrayal"

"We are no longer scared of you Voldemort, we have friends, loved ones, allies and a new sense of respect, you're words hold no footing against us" Harry spoke again.

Remus, Sirius, Arthur and Albus walked forward and then said "This is for Lily and James Potter" they raised their wands and with a simple hex that should have just put him to sleep, Voldemort ceased to exist.

"May you rest in peace Lily and James" Albus said loudly.

"No" Harry said. Everyone turned to look at Harry.

"What do you mean, no" Albus asked.

"My parents were resting in peace they knew this was going to happen, they left me in all of your hands and because of all of you I am alive" he said.

"This is for Cedric and all the others who Voldemort (No one flinches at his name) killed for no true purpose"

Everyone smiled and then Harry raised his sword and said "For Cedric, the true Hogwarts champion"

Cedrics parents had arrived with many of the other parents; they looked at Harry and started to cry.

Harry then turned at all the 'dark' creatures; they all looked at him and then some of the snakes hissed "What will we do with no Lord?"

Harry hissed back "You will be allowed to go and live a life in peace but we could use a few of you for our care of Magical creatures class"

After hearing this the dragons that came with Charlie and most of the ones who didn't followed them all the way back to the dragons roost in Romania.

The snakes were given an area in Russia that they went to. All the creatures left except for a few of each and those were the ones who wanted to stay and help with the Care of Magical creatures' class.

Harry turned to the Death-Eaters and said, "You have been given a chance to make amends for your past don't let it pass you up"

He walked over top Cedrics parents and said, " I am sorry I wasn't able to save Cedric"

Mrs. Diggory hugged him and then said, "We know that if you could have, you would but thank you for honoring his memory"

By now many of the teachers and students were listening.

Harry was actually angry " He is not a memory, he is dead"

Everyone was surprised at him saying this.

"He is dead because you have forgotten him, he will live forever as long as you keep him here", Harry pointed at his heart, "and he will live with me forever"

Mrs. Diggory smiled and gave him another hug and said, "You are right"

Albus smile because those choice words had showed wisdom beyond his many adults' years.

Hermione pulled him into another kiss, "I could get used to that," Harry said.

They saw Ron and Lavender walking towards them holding hands, they then saw Ginny and Draco walking toward them holding hands as well.

They all stood together and smiled. Then Harry realized that they didn't have very much time left at Hogwarts.

He was wondering what Dumbledore was going to say when he asked where he was going to stay.

As if someone had read his mind, two adults walked over and said "Hello Harry"

He said "Hello"

"I am Paul Granger and this is my wife Sarah Granger" Paul said.

Harry bowed and said "Hello Mr. Granger"

"After talking to Dumbledore we have decided that you will be allowed to spend half of your summer with us and the other half with the Weasleys"

Harry smiled "I will be allowed to see Hermione right?"

"Of course" Elizabeth said. Hermione walked forward and didn't notice her parents and gave Harry another long kiss.

Mr. Granger stared and then looked at his wife and then all the other spectators and said "Is this some kind of record and how do they hold their breath that long?"

Dumbledore answered, "It has to be some kind of record and to tell the truth I don't know how they hold their breath that long"

Harry finally broke the kiss and thought "Finally something positive in my life"
