A/n- Thank you for the reviews! Ive never gotten this many reviews! I mean, its pretty crappy that theres half as many chapters as there are reviews, if ya know what I mean! I own the Draten's.
Chapter 21: To End A Curse (either that...or um...To Stop The Sacred Legend) (a/n- tell me which is better, and I will keep it that, right now, its the first one for default)
"It seems like you have befriended this demon. I am just disposing of her. And I assume you came to save the day." Voldemort hissed.
"She might have the demon trait in her, but she is not demon!" Hermione snapped, then got the look of fear back on her face.
"Anger...I like it." Voldemort said, his snake-like tongue slythering out. Hermione got a look of disgust on her face. Harry yanked out his wand, and Colin, Ron, and Hermione all did the same as well. They pointed them at Voldemort. "Dont even try...stopping me..." He hissed. He pulled out his wand, and threw Kiara over to Draco. They collided and fell over, then yanked out their wands as they stood. "Mystina, Wormtail, Lucius...do as I do!" He yelled. They yanked out their wands, nodding at their Master.
"This will be enjoyable. Who kills who, Master?" Mystina asked.
"Whoever you want. But I get Potter and Draten." Voldemort said, glaring at Harry. He gulped.

"We must pick up the pace!" Snape muttered as they walked quickly towards the main doors. They heard a screech, and a snowy owl landed on Seamus's arm.
"Its Hedwig! She has a letter!" Seamus exclaimed. Dean grabbed it, and tore it open.
"It says, 'We are in Hogsmeade'!" Dean read.
"That helps us, then. We do not know where, but we will find them, either way. Now me and Severus may apparate there. Im afraid theres a very slim chance of them surviving this. So, you three may go up to your dorms and wake up the Weasleys. They deserve to know where Ron is. And wake up Dennis Creevy, he will be worried about Colin. Now, on you go." Dumbledore said. Seamus, Dean, and Neville ran back the way they came, and Dumbledore and Snape apparated away with a pop.
**
Lucius glared at the boy he called his son.
"I will kill you in a minute. I want to dispose of the poor first." Lucius said, glancing at Ron. Ron gasped, and stuck out his wand, as it shook from his fear.
~ (a/n- these just separate each little fight thing from each other, but they will join as one soon.)
"Mudbloods are just as bad as Dumbledore himself!" Mystina yelled to Hermione.
"Excuse me? Dumbledore is great! And dont call me that!" Hermione yelled, full of anger. She knew this was not the way she should be. But this Mystina chick had been roaming the school for weeks, she could have hurt Harry any of those times.
"Inflamar!" Mystina called out, and a bright red light shot out of her wand, hitting Hermione. Hermione fell to her knees. She knew this spell. It was Inflame; it caused Inflammation throughout your entire body. She fought back tears as she cried out in pain. The warmth shot up and down. She could feel it down her fingers, in her lungs. Everywhere.
~
Wormtail casted 'stupefy' on Colin. It knocked him out, and Wormtail sighed with relief. He wasnt a very good Wizard, and he was afraid it wouldnt work.
~
"Hermione!" Harry screamed. He had seen her fall over from some spell, and she was currently screaming from the pain. Harry began to walk over to her, but he stopped.
"Potter..., are you afraid to face me?" Voldemort spit out. Harry glared.
"Ive never been more ready for anything else in my life." Harry said.
"Good. Shall I try my specialty curse? The one that killed your parents? Or should I let my followers destroy your friends while you watch?" Voldemort asked, smirking at the look of confusion on Harry's face. His scar burnt with each breath, each blink, each heart beat. He gulped.
**
Snape and Dumbledore apparated at the foot of the hill to the Sriek Shack.
"Im guessing they are up there." Snape said, glancing at the top of the massive hill. Flashes of different colours were seen, from numorus curses.
"Then we shall go." Dumbledore said, sighing. They began to walk on foot up the hill.
"Headmaster..why on foot? Why can not we just apparate there?" Snape asked.
"They will suspect that. And we could cause the children more injuries if we pop up all of a sudden." Dumbledore said, sighing.
**
"What do YOU want?!" The fat lady yelled to Seamus, Dean, and Neville when they got to the portrait.
"We just want in." Seamus said. Dean told her the password, and they walked in. The common room was completely empty. Of course it would be, since it was one in the morning. Seamus and Dean ran to the Weasley's dorm, and Neville ran to Dennis Creevy's.
"Fred, wake up!" Seamus yelled. Well, that woke up everyone in the room. Except Fred.
"Oy! Fred, wake up!" George yelled, smacking Fred's forehead.
"Mum!" Fred yelled, sitting up. George began to laugh at him, and Fred blushed deep red.
"Why did you wake us up?" George asked crankily.
"You guys know about the...curse..right?" Dean asked them. They nodded.
"Kiara and Malfoy didnt take the antidote." Seamus said.
"But...they will die!" George muttered.
"....And Harry, Hermione, and Colin Creevy followed...." Dean mumbled, not wanting to say Ron.
"But.....wherever Harry and Hermione go, Ron follows." Fred pointed out.
"Exactly. Ron went too. And...you-know-who is HERE right now...." Seamus said.
"Ron....." George said, getting sad.
"Im going to wake up Ginny." Fred mumbled, and left the room.
"Were sorry, George." Dean mumbled.
"Yeah." George muttered.
**
Lucius kept his wand in Ron's direction.
"Imperio!" He yelled, and Ron became controlable. But Lucius kept him still. "Wormtail...if you would ming...casting the crutacius curse on my son?" Lucius asked. Wormtail nodded quickly, and nearly tripped on his way over. Draco didnt even hear what was going on. He was shielding Kiara from all the spells that whipped past them or over them. Wormtail pointed his wand at Draco.
"Crutacio!" Wormtail mumbled, and Draco rolled over, in immediate pain.
"Thats enough." Lucius said after a few minutes. The spell ended, and Draco sighed with relief.
"Now...." Voldemort muttered. He stood in front of Draco, and the scared Kiara. He turned to look at Harry. "Potter." He hissed.
"What." Harry said.
"..The muggle-lover your best friend, the Mudblood your girlfriend, the Demon your friend, and my Son, your foe..." Lucius said.
"Lucius, I can take care of this." Voldemort snapped.
"Sorry, Master." Lucius said quickly.
"Harry. Here is a test of bravery." Voldemort said, snapping his fingers. Harry raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Choose who to save!" Mystina exclaimed. With a flick of her wand, some type of dome made of what it seemed like, fire, surrounded Hermione, and slowly began to close in around her.
"Walk onto the thin-iced lake!" Lucius commanded to Ron, who was under the Imperius Curse. Ron did as told. Voldemort yanked out his wand and pointed it at Kiara and Draco.
"Time to die!" Voldemort roared, and Kiara screamed in fear.
'I cant choose between my friends and my girlfriend!' Harry thought.
"Do something Harry!" Hermione yelled from inside the closing dome. Her wand was just outside of it. Harry felt like he was tearing two, because he didnt know what to do. Not to mention, his scar burning, but he was too preoccupied at the moment with other things. Hermione screamed as flames whipped slowly towards her.
"Too slow, Potter, at least for these two!" Voldemort yelled, cackling. He pointed his wand at Kiara and Draco.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" He roared out, as the green shot out towards them.
"NOOOOO!" Harry screamed. He couldnt run to them. He would never make it in time. But then Harry realized the light had stopped, and Kiara and Draco were still alive.
There was a default. It had hit something, it seemed. Kiar glanced at what blocked it from killing them.
It was that yellow puff of smoke. The one that she saw in her dreams, who had the voice that saved her from crashing her broom, days earlier.
"...What is that..?" Draco whispered to her.
"..My saviour, it seems." Kiara mumbled back. Voldemort glared. No one survives him! How dare they! Well, of course Harry had survived him, but he didnt need two others. He pointed his wand at them again. It was about then when Snape came running up the hill.
"Severus!" Mystina said, gasping.
"Severus." Lucius muttered, his lip curling.
"Lucius....Pettigrew?" Snape muttered.
"...Its Wormtail...actually...sir..." Wormtail squeaked.
"Severus. I dont allow traitors to rejoin me." Voldemort said angrily to Snape.
"I dont want to join you. I want to stop you." Snape mumbled. Voldemort raised his wand to Snape.
"Severus.....GO!" Mystina yelled. All of her feeling rushed back that she once had for him. She blocked Voldemort.
"How DARE you disobey me!" Voldemort yelled, full of rage. He shot numorus spells at her, as she avoided them, running to Snape.
"Lets go!" She yelled.
"But the children!" Snape yelled back. Right then, Dumbledore came up over the hill, and Mystina yanked Snape off.
"Hello Tom." Dumbledore said calmly to Voldemort. He pointed his wand at him.
"My name is Voldemort!" He said, actually looking afraid.
"Harry!" Hermione shrieked. Harry snapped back into it. He was so busy glancing at the other things, he forgot about Hermione and Ron. The flames were only minutes away from Hermione....And...where was Ron? Harry glanced to the lake, and saw just in time, a figure fall through the ice.
"RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harry screamed, breaking off into a run towards the lake.
Meanwhile...., Kiara and Draco had stood up, and began to walk to the yellow mist.
"...You saved me..again." Kiara whispered to it.
"It was my duty." 'She' (afterall, its a female voice) said. Lucius walked up behind Draco. He grabbed him around the neck from behind, choking him. Draco struggled to rip off his Father's arms, but they wouldnt budge.
"Get off him!" Kiara shrieked, clawing at his arms.
"NO! Someone is dying tonight, wheather you like it or not!" Lucius screamed angrily.
"...Lucius." The yellow puff said. Lucius stopped, in awe at the puff. He let go of Draco, who fell to the ground coughing and gasping. Kiara helped him up.
"....It cant be..." Lucius said to the puff. Yellow swirls erupted into the sky, and a light so blinding came that made them shut their eyes. When they opened them, a ghostly figure stood there.
"Yes. Its me, Lucius. Makenzie." She said, smiling.
"Your ghost roams here?" Lucius asked, his eyes wide.
"Only when my daugter ends a curse." Makenzie said, smiling. "Why did you do this?" She asked.
"Voldemort is my Master now. You know that. Im...sorry I tried to kill them..." Lucius said, beginning to look a bit crazy.
"I loved you." Makenzie said. This caused Lucius to wince, and glance at Draco, then back at Makenzie.
"I loved you too." Lucius mumbled.
"Lucius, were leaving!" Voldemort screeched. He was running away from Dumbledore, who was glaring, and casting spells upon Voldemort. Wormtail was running in circles aimlessly, then apparated away with a pop. Voldemort ran past Lucius. "DONT GO SOFT!" He hissed, then he apparated away.
"Oh boy. He is gunna punish me when I return." Lucius said, gulping.
"Then dont." Makenzie said. Lucius sighed. Then he apparated away.
"Mum?" Kiara asked.
"Thank you for ending it. Now the Dratens and the Malfoys can stay together for once. I love you. " Makenzie said.
"Bye Mum. I love you too." Kiara said, and her Mother's ghost faded away. Kiara looked at Draco.
"We lived." He mumbled. They cheered and hugged. But they didnt rejoice for long. It seemed when Voldemort left, the dome of fire dissappeared from around Hermione, and her, Harry, and Dumbledore were crouched around something. Kiara strained her eyes to see just what they were so worried about. Then she noticed Ron wasnt around.
"Ron..no..." Kiara said, running over to them, with Draco at her heels. He was laying on the snow, shivering, his face nearly blue, along with his lips. Hermione was crying, Harry looked close to it.
"Kkkkiara....yourrr allive...."Ron said, shivering.
"So are you. And your staying alive." Kiara demanded to him.
"Professor, will he live?" Draco asked Dumbledore.
"Most likely, we just need to take him to Madam Pomphrey. Well. Come along." Dumbledore said. He summoned stretchers for Ron and the still unconscious Colin.
**
Hermione stretched, yawned, and sat up. It was morning, and by the looks of it, it was about 9. The Sun was shining, unlike the darkness from the day before. The events of the night came flooding back to her. After they had gotten into the building, the Weasleys, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Dennis, and Hagrid were all waiting in the hospital wing. Madam Pomphrey was very angry for all the commotion. They immediatly had put Ron and Colin in beds, giving them medicine. They kept bugging the other four to lay down, but they refused. Eventually they realized they too, were quite injured, so they did as they suggested. Hermione sighed and looked down at herself. Her robes were singed, as were the ends of her hair. Her hands, were covered with scrapes and burn marks. Harry was next to her, in the next bed. He had many scratches of his own, all over his face and arms. To her right, lay Ron, still somewhat pale, but other than that, relatively okay, except for the normal scratches. Colin seemed fine, a bit of dirt marks. Kiara, had scratches all over her, just like Harry did. She had bruises around her neck, from Lucius holding her by it. Draco looked just as bad, maybe worse. His normally pale face had bruises on it, his neck turning a dark brown from them. His robes were wet and dirty, his hands scratched and worn. On his cheeks he had new bruises, to mix in with his black eye from Flint. He had cuts on his face, most likely from his father. Eventually everyone stirred awake, including Ron and Colin.
They got into a long conversation, over the night, to explain what happened in some areas where they couldnt explain things.
"So, your Mum is the one who saved you when you were on your broom." Ron said. Kiara nodded. The door opened soon after that. It was Dumbledore, and Snape.
"Professor, what happened to you last night?" Draco asked Snape, the only one brave enough to.
"Mystina has turned to our side, and she will help be a spy for Dumbledore. But she will be on the run, as Voldemort will be after her." Snape said.
"You six, are probably the bravest people I know." Dumbledore said to them.
"Oh, you dont have to flatter us!" Hermione said, giggling.
"Im being honest, Miss Granger. You six faced Voldemort, all for keeping others alive. And you risked your lives for one another. I know you wont be as....secure feeling, knowing for sure now, that Voldemort is back into power. But do not worry about it. Try to forget seeing him, I know it will be tough. I suggest you all go back into your dorms, I expect your friends are waiting, and its Christmas. You should open your gifts." Dumbledore said. They nodded and left.
**
Draco walked into the Slytherin common room, to see Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy opening things. Draco had a few things under the tree.
"Draco!" Pansy said, gasping.
"We thought you died!" Goyle muttered.
"We were worried." Crabbe added.
"I thought you all hated me." Draco said, his throat scratchy from yelling the night before.
"Your our friend. Were sorry. But honestly....are you excited to be a Deatheater and join Voldemort?" Goyle said excitedly.
"What are you talking about?" Draco spit out. They handed him an envelope. He opened it, and read,
Draco Malfoy,
We know you are easy to forgive, so you will forgive us for the small incident last night. We invite you to join the Deatheaters on your 18th birthday. Tell us your answer a week before then.
Thanks!
Wormtail
Draco glared.
"Well? Excited?" Pansy asked, clutching onto her own letter.
"Hows this for an answer?" Draco asked as he ripped the evelope up, throwing it into the fire. He glanced back at them. "I will NEVER work for Voldemort."
"You survived him. You know he will look for you." Goyle said.
"And I will be ready for him. Let him come." Draco said, looking through the rest of his gifts. There were things there from Kiara, and Snape. Then his Eagle Owl flew in, with a letter. "It better not be another invitation.." He muttered. He opened the letter, and re-read it a few more times.
Draco,
I dont know who I am, or what to do. Makenzie's ghost changed me, the same way she did. Its that antidote that we took that made me stop loving her, and turn back to my normal ways. But seeing her again, it gave me a new inspiration. I cant say where I am, for Im on the run from Voldemort. Until I know what to do with the rest of my life, I will be in hiding. Im ....Im sorry for being the Father I have been.
Lucius
Draco stared at the letter in awe, happy about his Father's changes. He took the letter and the rest of the presents, and left the room.
**
"RON!" Screamed the Weasleys, as soon as they entered the common room. Dennis and Colin sat together, with Dennis very worried about his brother. The Weasleys hugged and Ginny kissed Ron on the cheek; they were quite worried themselves. And as for Harry, Hermione, and Kiara, well, their friends hugged them. They opened all their presents, and soon after, headed down to eat.
The days passed by, the rest of the school returned, and everyone still looked at the six of them as heroes.
**
It was currently the last day of school. Once Christmas had come and gone, the rest of the year seemed to pass by quickly with it. Everyone talked to their friends, some crying, for they would miss them so much. Draco was allowed to sit with the Gryffindors, as it was the last day. Gold and Red flags hung all over the walls. Gryffindor won the House Cup once yet again. They had also won the Quidditch Cup that year. Dumbledore arose, and the talking stopped.
"We have already calculated all of the points, but I would like to recognize a few people right now. Please stand when I say your name." Dumbledore said. He looked around the Great Hall, his eyes twinkling.
"Seamus Finnegan, please stand, for being brave, and listening more to your friends, rather than ignoring them." He said, and Seamus stood, blushing. "Dean Thomas, please stand, for always making sure you three wouldnt give up on breaking into my office." Dean stood, smiling wide. "Neville Longbottom, please stand, for being so intelligent to have thought my password to my office could be anything, even a food item." Neville stood, blushing even brighter than Ron's hair.
"Colin Creevy, for being so brave as to offer to three students older than you, your help." Colin stood and sat quickly. He wasnt the type for fame. "Ronald Weasley, for always being always ready and courageous, to face anything, and for surviving very cold ice water." Ron blushed as he stood, and Padma grinned at him as he grinned back.
"Hermione Granger, for bravery to stand up to someone much older, and much more powerful than herself." Hermione stood up straight, her fluffy hair bouncing as she stood. "Harry Potter, for keeping his cool in a very large decision, and for bravery beyond reason, to face an old foe, for another time, not afraid at all." Harry rose, and of course the student applauded loudly. Kiara gulped. The school had their rumours about what had happened. No one truely knew the whole story.
"Kiara Draten, for being different, and for striving to find the answers. She kept her friends in mind, and her love. She faced the most highly feared person known today, all over keeping her love and friendship. She had bravery of the highest degree imagineable." Kiara stood, and she noticed the Weasleys and Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Alicia Spinnet cheering for her, and of course, her friends and Draco. "Draco Malfoy, for facing his own family, over his love for others, and for truely showing a change in nature, defending everything thats good. He risked his life over his love. And thats also bravery of the highest extent." Draco stood. The Slytherins all seemed to just glare at him, but the other tables applauded and cheered loudly.
"You may all sit. I just wanted to thank you all for coming, and I will miss all the Seventh Years. I hope you had a great year here, and I hope to see the majority of you next year." Dumbledore said, as they sat.
"WHY?" George yelled.
"We cant leave Hogwarts!" Fred whined.
"Calm down, me and Ginny will make sure everyone remembers you two." Ron said, grinning at them.
"Okay...and as long as you tell the first years great heroic stories about us!" Fred exclaimed as Ginny giggled.
"Were very lucky the O.W.L's were cancelled from the events this year." Ron said as he shoved food in his mouth.
"How could you say that? I was ready for them, too." Hermione said. Harry grinned at her, and she laughed.
"You do know...that I wont be here once you get in your 5th year." Draco mumbled to Kiara.
"I know, it will really stink, but I know we will be together still." Kiara said, smiling.
**
The train rumbled as it came to a screech.
"Harry! I just realized, almost all of the Quidditch team is seventh years!" Kiara exclaimed.
"I thought about that too. I think we will need some try-outs next year." Harry said.
"I should try out!" Ron mumbled, wandering off to find Fred and George.
"Honestly. I dont see the point in it at all." Hermione said, spotting her parents.
"Thanks, Harry. I know we wouldnt have lived without you." Kiara said.
"Actually, I didnt stop him. Yes, me and him fought, but,...your Mum is the real one who had helped you live. If she wasnt there....I dont even want to think of it." Harry said. Kiara hugged him, and ran off.
"See you next year!" The 4 of them said to each other. (including Draco, Ginny, and the Weasley twins) Hermione hugged everyone...and kissed Harry. Her parents looked shocked as she hopped over to them. Ron hugged them, and Ginny and the twins told Kiara and Harry 'goodbyes'.
"Bye Ki..." Ron mumbled as he hugged her.
"See you in the Summer, Ron?" Kiara asked. He nodded. The Weasleys left, with their mother and father, who looked upset at Ron for his actions on Christmas. Kiara looked at Draco.
"I will see you next year." He said, pulling her into a hug. They kissed.
"I love you. Bye." She said.
"I love you too." He said, smiling. She left to the cab, which would take her to the Leaky Cauldron, where she would be staying at the Inn there all Summer. Draco left to the car with his Mother in. Harry sighed.
"Boy! Honestly! Kissing up on THEM!" Harry heard Uncle Vernon yell. He rolled his eyes.
"I can deal with this another summer..." Harry said, leaving the Platform.
THE END!
A/n-....I didnt like this! Not how the fight ended, at least. There will be the Prequel, as this is the last chapter. Its about Makenzie and Lucius. Yeah, I know Ive said that alotta times too lol. But once the prequel is done (about half as long as this story was) then I will have the sequel. Im almost positive the sequel will have them all as adults, and their children attending Hogwarts. Yeah, because, ...I cant think of an idea if I just have it a normal year again with them a year older. Any suggestions? Ummm,,...u can tell me if you hated this chapter, I wont mind. Well, I hope you enjoyed it, I beg of u to stay faithful and loyal and to me, and read the prequel when it comes. I think it will be a bit funnier, as it has the Maruders in it. Thanks for reading! I love you all! (in the happy author/reader relationship!!!)

"Severus!" Mystina said, gasping.
"Severus." Lucius muttered, his lip curling.
"Lucius....Pettigrew?" Snape muttered.
"...Its Wormtail...actually...sir..." Wormtail squeaked.
"Severus. I dont allow traitors to rejoin me." Voldemort said angrily to Snape.
"I dont want to join you. I want to stop you." Snape mumbled. Voldemort raised his wand to Snape.
"Severus.....GO!" Mystina yelled. All of her feeling rushed back that she once had for him. She blocked Voldemort.
"How DARE you disobey me!" Voldemort yelled, full of rage. He shot numorus spells at her, as she avoided them, running to Snape.
"Lets go!" She yelled.
"But the children!" Snape yelled back. Right then, Dumbledore came up over the hill, and Mystina yanked Snape off.
"Hello Tom." Dumbledore said calmly to Voldemort. He pointed his wand at him.
"My name is Voldemort!" He said, actually looking afraid.
"Harry!" Hermione shrieked. Harry snapped back into it. He was so busy glancing at the other things, he forgot about Hermione and Ron. The flames were only minutes away from Hermione....And...where was Ron? Harry glanced to the lake, and saw just in time, a figure fall through the ice.
"RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harry screamed, breaking off into a run towards the lake.
Meanwhile...., Kiara and Draco had stood up, and began to walk to the yellow mist.
"...You saved me..again." Kiara whispered to it.
"It was my duty." 'She' (afterall, its a female voice) said. Lucius walked up behind Draco. He grabbed him around the neck from behind, choking him. Draco struggled to rip off his Father's arms, but they wouldnt budge.
"Get off him!" Kiara shrieked, clawing at his arms.
"NO! Someone is dying tonight, wheather you like it or not!" Lucius screamed angrily.
"...Lucius." The yellow puff said. Lucius stopped, in awe at the puff. He let go of Draco, who fell to the ground coughing and gasping. Kiara helped him up.
"....It cant be..." Lucius said to the puff. Yellow swirls erupted into the sky, and a light so blinding came that made them shut their eyes. When they opened them, a ghostly figure stood there.
"Yes. Its me, Lucius. Makenzie." She said, smiling.
"Your ghost roams here?" Lucius asked, his eyes wide.
"Only when my daugter ends a curse." Makenzie said, smiling. "Why did you do this?" She asked.
"Voldemort is my Master now. You know that. Im...sorry I tried to kill them..." Lucius said, beginning to look a bit crazy.
"I loved you." Makenzie said. This caused Lucius to wince, and glance at Draco, then back at Makenzie.
"I loved you too." Lucius mumbled.
"Lucius, were leaving!" Voldemort screeched. He was running away from Dumbledore, who was glaring, and casting spells upon Voldemort. Wormtail was running in circles aimlessly, then apparated away with a pop. Voldemort ran past Lucius. "DONT GO SOFT!" He hissed, then he apparated away.
"Oh boy. He is gunna punish me when I return." Lucius said, gulping.
"Then dont." Makenzie said. Lucius sighed. Then he apparated away.
"Mum?" Kiara asked.
"Thank you for ending it. Now the Dratens and the Malfoys can stay together for once. I love you. " Makenzie said.
"Bye Mum. I love you too." Kiara said, and her Mother's ghost faded away. Kiara looked at Draco.
"We lived." He mumbled. They cheered and hugged. But they didnt rejoice for long. It seemed when Voldemort left, the dome of fire dissappeared from around Hermione, and her, Harry, and Dumbledore were crouched around something. Kiara strained her eyes to see just what they were so worried about. Then she noticed Ron wasnt around.
"Ron..no..." Kiara said, running over to them, with Draco at her heels. He was laying on the snow, shivering, his face nearly blue, along with his lips. Hermione was crying, Harry looked close to it.
"Kkkkiara....yourrr allive...."Ron said, shivering.
"So are you. And your staying alive." Kiara demanded to him.
"Professor, will he live?" Draco asked Dumbledore.
"Most likely, we just need to take him to Madam Pomphrey. Well. Come along." Dumbledore said. He summoned stretchers for Ron and the still unconscious Colin.
**
Hermione stretched, yawned, and sat up. It was morning, and by the looks of it, it was about 9. The Sun was shining, unlike the darkness from the day before. The events of the night came flooding back to her. After they had gotten into the building, the Weasleys, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Dennis, and Hagrid were all waiting in the hospital wing. Madam Pomphrey was very angry for all the commotion. They immediatly had put Ron and Colin in beds, giving them medicine. They kept bugging the other four to lay down, but they refused. Eventually they realized they too, were quite injured, so they did as they suggested. Hermione sighed and looked down at herself. Her robes were singed, as were the ends of her hair. Her hands, were covered with scrapes and burn marks. Harry was next to her, in the next bed. He had many scratches of his own, all over his face and arms. To her right, lay Ron, still somewhat pale, but other than that, relatively okay, except for the normal scratches. Colin seemed fine, a bit of dirt marks. Kiara, had scratches all over her, just like Harry did. She had bruises around her neck, from Lucius holding her by it. Draco looked just as bad, maybe worse. His normally pale face had bruises on it, his neck turning a dark brown from them. His robes were wet and dirty, his hands scratched and worn. On his cheeks he had new bruises, to mix in with his black eye from Flint. He had cuts on his face, most likely from his father. Eventually everyone stirred awake, including Ron and Colin.
They got into a long conversation, over the night, to explain what happened in some areas where they couldnt explain things.
"So, your Mum is the one who saved you when you were on your broom." Ron said. Kiara nodded. The door opened soon after that. It was Dumbledore, and Snape.
"Professor, what happened to you last night?" Draco asked Snape, the only one brave enough to.
"Mystina has turned to our side, and she will help be a spy for Dumbledore. But she will be on the run, as Voldemort will be after her." Snape said.
"You six, are probably the bravest people I know." Dumbledore said to them.
"Oh, you dont have to flatter us!" Hermione said, giggling.
"Im being honest, Miss Granger. You six faced Voldemort, all for keeping others alive. And you risked your lives for one another. I know you wont be as....secure feeling, knowing for sure now, that Voldemort is back into power. But do not worry about it. Try to forget seeing him, I know it will be tough. I suggest you all go back into your dorms, I expect your friends are waiting, and its Christmas. You should open your gifts." Dumbledore said. They nodded and left.
**
Draco walked into the Slytherin common room, to see Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy opening things. Draco had a few things under the tree.
"Draco!" Pansy said, gasping.
"We thought you died!" Goyle muttered.
"We were worried." Crabbe added.
"I thought you all hated me." Draco said, his throat scratchy from yelling the night before.
"Your our friend. Were sorry. But honestly....are you excited to be a Deatheater and join Voldemort?" Goyle said excitedly.
"What are you talking about?" Draco spit out. They handed him an envelope. He opened it, and read,
Draco Malfoy,
We know you are easy to forgive, so you will forgive us for the small incident last night. We invite you to join the Deatheaters on your 18th birthday. Tell us your answer a week before then.
Thanks!
Wormtail
Draco glared.
"Well? Excited?" Pansy asked, clutching onto her own letter.
"Hows this for an answer?" Draco asked as he ripped the evelope up, throwing it into the fire. He glanced back at them. "I will NEVER work for Voldemort."
"You survived him. You know he will look for you." Goyle said.
"And I will be ready for him. Let him come." Draco said, looking through the rest of his gifts. There were things there from Kiara, and Snape. Then his Eagle Owl flew in, with a letter. "It better not be another invitation.." He muttered. He opened the letter, and re-read it a few more times.
Draco,
I dont know who I am, or what to do. Makenzie's ghost changed me, the same way she did. Its that antidote that we took that made me stop loving her, and turn back to my normal ways. But seeing her again, it gave me a new inspiration. I cant say where I am, for Im on the run from Voldemort. Until I know what to do with the rest of my life, I will be in hiding. Im ....Im sorry for being the Father I have been.
Lucius
Draco stared at the letter in awe, happy about his Father's changes. He took the letter and the rest of the presents, and left the room.
**
"RON!" Screamed the Weasleys, as soon as they entered the common room. Dennis and Colin sat together, with Dennis very worried about his brother. The Weasleys hugged and Ginny kissed Ron on the cheek; they were quite worried themselves. And as for Harry, Hermione, and Kiara, well, their friends hugged them. They opened all their presents, and soon after, headed down to eat.
The days passed by, the rest of the school returned, and everyone still looked at the six of them as heroes.
**
It was currently the last day of school. Once Christmas had come and gone, the rest of the year seemed to pass by quickly with it. Everyone talked to their friends, some crying, for they would miss them so much. Draco was allowed to sit with the Gryffindors, as it was the last day. Gold and Red flags hung all over the walls. Gryffindor won the House Cup once yet again. They had also won the Quidditch Cup that year. Dumbledore arose, and the talking stopped.
"We have already calculated all of the points, but I would like to recognize a few people right now. Please stand when I say your name." Dumbledore said. He looked around the Great Hall, his eyes twinkling.
"Seamus Finnegan, please stand, for being brave, and listening more to your friends, rather than ignoring them." He said, and Seamus stood, blushing. "Dean Thomas, please stand, for always making sure you three wouldnt give up on breaking into my office." Dean stood, smiling wide. "Neville Longbottom, please stand, for being so intelligent to have thought my password to my office could be anything, even a food item." Neville stood, blushing even brighter than Ron's hair.
"Colin Creevy, for being so brave as to offer to three students older than you, your help." Colin stood and sat quickly. He wasnt the type for fame. "Ronald Weasley, for always being always ready and courageous, to face anything, and for surviving very cold ice water." Ron blushed as he stood, and Padma grinned at him as he grinned back.
"Hermione Granger, for bravery to stand up to someone much older, and much more powerful than herself." Hermione stood up straight, her fluffy hair bouncing as she stood. "Harry Potter, for keeping his cool in a very large decision, and for bravery beyond reason, to face an old foe, for another time, not afraid at all." Harry rose, and of course the student applauded loudly. Kiara gulped. The school had their rumours about what had happened. No one truely knew the whole story.
"Kiara Draten, for being different, and for striving to find the answers. She kept her friends in mind, and her love. She faced the most highly feared person known today, all over keeping her love and friendship. She had bravery of the highest degree imagineable." Kiara stood, and she noticed the Weasleys and Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Alicia Spinnet cheering for her, and of course, her friends and Draco. "Draco Malfoy, for facing his own family, over his love for others, and for truely showing a change in nature, defending everything thats good. He risked his life over his love. And thats also bravery of the highest extent." Draco stood. The Slytherins all seemed to just glare at him, but the other tables applauded and cheered loudly.
"You may all sit. I just wanted to thank you all for coming, and I will miss all the Seventh Years. I hope you had a great year here, and I hope to see the majority of you next year." Dumbledore said, as they sat.
"WHY?" George yelled.
"We cant leave Hogwarts!" Fred whined.
"Calm down, me and Ginny will make sure everyone remembers you two." Ron said, grinning at them.
"Okay...and as long as you tell the first years great heroic stories about us!" Fred exclaimed as Ginny giggled.
"Were very lucky the O.W.L's were cancelled from the events this year." Ron said as he shoved food in his mouth.
"How could you say that? I was ready for them, too." Hermione said. Harry grinned at her, and she laughed.
"You do know...that I wont be here once you get in your 5th year." Draco mumbled to Kiara.
"I know, it will really stink, but I know we will be together still." Kiara said, smiling.
**
The train rumbled as it came to a screech.
"Harry! I just realized, almost all of the Quidditch team is seventh years!" Kiara exclaimed.
"I thought about that too. I think we will need some try-outs next year." Harry said.
"I should try out!" Ron mumbled, wandering off to find Fred and George.
"Honestly. I dont see the point in it at all." Hermione said, spotting her parents.
"Thanks, Harry. I know we wouldnt have lived without you." Kiara said.
"Actually, I didnt stop him. Yes, me and him fought, but,...your Mum is the real one who had helped you live. If she wasnt there....I dont even want to think of it." Harry said. Kiara hugged him, and ran off.
"See you next year!" The 4 of them said to each other. (including Draco, Ginny, and the Weasley twins) Hermione hugged everyone...and kissed Harry. Her parents looked shocked as she hopped over to them. Ron hugged them, and Ginny and the twins told Kiara and Harry 'goodbyes'.
"Bye Ki..." Ron mumbled as he hugged her.
"See you in the Summer, Ron?" Kiara asked. He nodded. The Weasleys left, with their mother and father, who looked upset at Ron for his actions on Christmas. Kiara looked at Draco.
"I will see you next year." He said, pulling her into a hug. They kissed.
"I love you. Bye." She said.
"I love you too." He said, smiling. She left to the cab, which would take her to the Leaky Cauldron, where she would be staying at the Inn there all Summer. Draco left to the car with his Mother in. Harry sighed.
"Boy! Honestly! Kissing up on THEM!" Harry heard Uncle Vernon yell. He rolled his eyes.
"I can deal with this another summer..." Harry said, leaving the Platform.
THE END!
A/n-....I didnt like this! Not how the fight ended, at least. There will be the Prequel, as this is the last chapter. Its about Makenzie and Lucius. Yeah, I know Ive said that alotta times too lol. But once the prequel is done (about half as long as this story was) then I will have the sequel. Im almost positive the sequel will have them all as adults, and their children attending Hogwarts. Yeah, because, ...I cant think of an idea if I just have it a normal year again with them a year older. Any suggestions? Ummm,,...u can tell me if you hated this chapter, I wont mind. Well, I hope you enjoyed it, I beg of u to stay faithful and loyal and to me, and read the prequel when it comes. I think it will be a bit funnier, as it has the Maruders in it. Thanks for reading! I love you all! (in the happy author/reader relationship!!!)
