Chapter Seven
Broken Hearts and Rage
"NO!" yelled Sirius and Hermione.
The figure landed with a thud. His body was a dark pile on the ground and Ron looked over where Harry and Hermione had been, but only Hermione was there. He looked over at the body and saw a wand, Harry's wand, lying near the body.
"Harry." whispered Ron. "No, no, Harry."
Ron grabbed his wand and pointed at the others.
"Priori Incantatem!" yelled Ron.
The bonds holding the others in their spot were broken and Ron held his wand ready.
"You're going to pay for the people you killed!" he screamed, his mind swirling.
He didn't know what to think or what spell to do, but something just came out.
"Banishment Infinito!" bellowed Ron.
A large ray of light appeared at the end of Ron's wand and attacked the Death Eaters. They fell to the ground, diminished by the spell. Ron looked down at his hands in shock. He was completely numb, his ears were ringing and nothing was registering in his mind.
"I can't believe it," gasped Ron. "I did that?"
Hermione got to her feet slowly and looked at Ron.
"Oh Ron!" she cried.
She flung her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Ron eyes met with Harry's body, a flicker of hope died in the back of his mind. He had prayed that maybe he had just been knocked out, but he was gone.
He walked over to Harry's side and turned him over. His eyes were wide open and he had a look of pure determination on his face. Ron closed Harry's eyes as tears hit Harry's cheek. Harry would still be alive if he hadn't shoved Ron out of the way. He hadn't been lucky this time, either. He had gotten what was meant for him. Ron cried next to Harry's body, until Sirius knelt next to him. He stayed still, his head hung in shame, and then he lifted Harry's body from the ground. Ron looked up at him, his face stained with tears.
"Come on, Ron," whispered Sirius. "Let's go back to the castle."
Ron nodded and Snape lifted Harry's body. They slowly trudged back to he castle, Hermione, who was still stifling down sobs, was holding Ron's hand.
