The Tales of Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore III

The room was suddenly filled with a bright red dazzling light and soon Albus Dumbledore was stood in the corner, Fawlkes on his shoulder.

"Hello Tom," Dumbledore said softly. He noticed that Harry was exhausted, it looked as if he had been fight for quite sometime. "I see I'm just in time to stop your great resurrection."

"Stop ?" Lord Voldemort hissed into the darkness, "I think you are wrong the Albus." He sounded commanding but everyone in the room could detect a slight hint of fear.

"That is what I said," Dumbledore said calmly raising his wand. The two stared at each other long and hard and Harry looked from one to the other wondering who would make their move first.

And then suddenly from behind Dumbledore there was a crack and turning to find that Lucius Malfoy had appeared behind him, Dumbledore was hit with Voldemort's stunning spell and he fell down to his knees.

"I knew that the great Dumbledore was no match for the dark lord," Voldemort hissed. Dumbledore's wand had landed at Malfoy's feet and he slowly bent down to pick it up. "Now where was I ? Oh yes. The resurrection of Salazar Slytherin."

Dumbledore stared at Voldemort through his cracked moon shaped glasses. And for a while no one did anything

And then suddenly Neville landed in a crumpled heap behind Voldemort and taking a chance Harry raised his wand.

"Avada Kedavra !" Harry Yelled at the top of his lungs and in a flash of green light Voldemort fell to the floor. No one in the cold dungeon like room could believe what had happened. The boy who lived had finally fulfilled the prophecy. Albus Dumbledore rose slowly to his feet and plucked his wand from the hand of Lucius Malfoy.

"He..He.. Killed the dark lord !" Wormtail murmured from the corner as Neville climbed to his feet.

"Harry ? Professor Dumbledore," Neville blurted, "What's going on ?"
