Chapter 7: Congratulations, You Have Found the Exact Opposite of "Wicked"
Leaving her bag where it dropped, Hermione rolled under the Ravenclaw table, wand in front of her, eyes still wide open in shock.
A huge crater now graced the floor of the once beautiful Great Hall, directly below the gaping hole in the ceiling. Harry, a hand clutching at his scar, was pointing his wand at a one of the two figures in the crater. Ron stood next to him, his own wand out, pointing at the other figure. Draco was crouched behind a chair, hidden from view. Various students were scattered about the Hall, some unconscious, others hiding. The teachers were behind the crater, some of them knocked out, the others crouched around a body on the ground.
Dumbledore. He had fallen, protecting the teachers.
Voldemort. Standing in the crater, wand pointed at Harry, laughing, maniacally.
Lucius. Wand pointed right back at Ron, unafraid.
Before she could think, Hermione rolled out from under the table, and ran to Ron and Harry. She stood at Harry's side, the other side being occupied by Ron. She pointed her own wand at Lucius.
Voldemort laughed. "Ah, the girl joins the fray. Hoping to save your boyfriends? Oh, no, I forgot, you enchanted young Draco." he laughed.
Draco moved from his hiding place, and walked to the three, his own wand out. "She didn't enchant me."
Voldemort laughed again. "Well, well, well. The Death Eater in training." "I am no Death Eater! I will not follow in my father's footsteps! I'm not afraid of you anymore." Draco stood next to Hermione, one arm around her waist, the other pointing his wand at Voldemort.
Lucius took his turn. "Draco, I am your father. Join us. It is your destiny." "What is this, Star Wars?" yelled Harry. Lucius blinked. "Star Wars?" Ron took that opportunity. "Stupefy!" But his was not the only voice that rang out. Draco had also attempted to stupefy his father. The combined red light knocked Lucius off his feet and to the ground, but not before he unleashed his own spell at Hermione. The red light came towards Hermione, who looked at it, daring it to come closer. Draco, at the last moment, jumped in front of her, and fell. The spell was very powerful, and pulled Draco into the air and slammed him against the wall. His head rolled onto his shoulder, revealing the huge cut that was bleeding profusely. "No!" yelled Hermione. She raised her hands to her mouth in absolute horror, not knowing what to do. That cut looked fatal.
Voldemort laughed again. "Stupefy!" he yelled. That seemed to be a popular spell. The red light was barely an inch from Hermione, when Ron jumped in front of her, once again preventing her from being knocked out. "Ron!" she cried. Harry turned to her. "Look after Draco. I'll handle Voldemort." "But....." began Hermione, but Harry hugged her quickly. "Go!" she nodded, and ran to Draco, cradling his head on her lap, trying to think of a spell to stop the bleeding.
Voldemort laughed again. "Oh, will you shut up? You laugh and you laugh like the bloody idiot you are! It's getting annoying!" Harry's anger made him forget the pain in his scar. Disregarding Harry, Voldemort turned to Lucius.
A most idiotic mistake. Harry took that moment. "Avada Kedavra!" he screeched, letting the spell fly towards the Dark Lord. Before Voldemort could react, the blinding green light struck him in the back. He let out a horrible scream. "I'll be back!"
All that was left of Lord Voldemort was a pile of black dust, formerly his wand.
Harry fell to the ground.

Author's Note: While it seems that the mistake Voldie made was OOC, it was very in character. Voldemort's pride was his downfall. He did not believe Harry would have the courage to kill him.
Cheers!
