Chapter 18

They were landed back to Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Dumbledore was there. Harry started to scream. He threw everything that was in reach. He started to cry. He dropped to the floor. Catherine was gone. Like so many of the people that he loved. Ron and Hermione were walking toward him.

" No! Leave me alone!" demanded Harry. Ron and Hermione had no other choice.

"Harry, you must take into account that there was no other choice. The prophesy. We had to keep you alive. If not, the consequence would be dire." Said Dumbledore.

" You keep me alive by letting Voldemort kill Catherine!" Harry screamed at Dumbledore.

Harry hated all of them. Just then Harry's scar felt as if it was burning and tearing at the same time.

A look came up on Dumbldore's face. A look of clarification.

" I have to go to the Riddle House. Some thing just happened. Something that we've waited all these years for." Said Dumbledore and he apparated.

" What is he talking about?" said Ron.

" I don't know." Answered Hermione.

Dumbledore just apparated back. A look of triumphant joy was in his eyes.

" Voldmort is dead. So are the death eaters. The Ministry of Magic is there getting the bodies." Said Dumbledore. Everyone jumped up in joy. But Harry could not. Then he saw her.

Dumbledore was holding Catherine.

" She is unconscious but she is alive. She was the one who killed Voldemort. As I understand it when Voldemort was trying to extract Catherine's powers, he did realize that she contained too much power, lethal to him and the rest of the death eaters who were near by." Said Dumbledore as he gently put Catherine on a bed. Harry, Ron and Hermione were at her bedside.

She was stirring. She opened her eyes. Everyone looked at her.

" Oh Harry! Ron! Hermione! I almost killed you all. I, I'm sorry. Something came over me-" Before she could even finish, Harry embraced her. Harry was crying of joy. So was everyone one else. She cried as well. Everyone left Harry and Catherine alone.

" Harry, I-" Catherine started to say. Harry went over to kiss her so full of passion and happiness. Harry felt happier than he had ever been. Catherine is alive and she was with him.

" I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, Catherine Kim!" said Harry.

" I love you, Harry Potter!" said Catherine. All was good with the world.
