A/N: Okay sorry about the wait but I kind of got out of the writing faze for a while. For those of you who have waited here it is...

Dislclaimer: I do not own the characters or the harry potter words or figures etc. (wishful thinking)...

They then quickly apparated to the Ministry of Magic to see Arthur Weasley since they were aurors and he was the minister of magic.

There were no wizards or witches or even muggles for that matter in sight.

"What do we do now? Where is everyone!" Ginny yelled with panic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------

Harry grasped Ginny's hand in a protective way. What happened next, happened so quickly that neither of them knew what they were doing. The crowd of dementors were at their feet. And voldemort and the death-eaters were in front of the large crowd. Harry took a step back and suddenly was no longer at the ministry of magic. He had been teleported to a far place. He apparently stepped on a portkey of some sort. But he was in a deserted place. Just him and... something crawling towards him in the dark.. BASILISK!

Harry stared at it in the face... but was not harmed. Why wasn't it's eyes killing him? As Harry stared into its eyes more he began to recognize them. They were not yellow, they were red. Scarlet red. The eyes that he has come face to face with several times before. The color of which, belong to Voldemort's eyes. The basilisk smirked, in a snakelike way, and then transformed into the beast he really was, himself. "So you have figured me out. I always knew you were a smart boy. But no matter, it is time that we finish this once and for all. Are you my match? Or aren't you? We shall see.." Harry just stayed silent. It was like his childhood was haunting him all over again. For how many times has he dreamed of this moment? He knew it was coming.. But he never knew it was this soon even if it has been years.

"This time it is just us, two wands, and a sacrifice." Voldemort added.. "Sacrifice??" Harry stumbled. All of a sudden Albus Dumbledore was next to Voldemort. Hmm... It seemed that Voldemort was no longer intimidated by Dumbledore. "Choose. It's either you or him. Either way, we have to fight." This time Harry spoke. "Why?" "Dear boy, I am giving you a choice. Choose wisely." "ME! Choose me, Harry, You have so much longer you have to live, in which I am afraid to say I do not have that luxury." Dumbledore spoke each word with finality. "But, Professor. Everyone needs you!" Harry was desperate. "No, they need you. I cannot finish this. It has to be you, and you alone. You can't deny this, you knew this would come for years." Harry nodded. "Oh wasn't that just a sappy memory! Never lose it Harry!" Voldemort chuckled evilly. "Very well, now that it is all settled..." Voldemort pointed his wand at Dumbledore. "AVADA KADEVRA!!!!!!!" "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dumbledore crashed to the floor and was dead. There was no way to take back his death, and Harry had to move on. Tears streaked down his face. Now it was just him and Voldemort. Harry had to get up from the floor in which a puddle of tears were surrounding him. He had to be a man. "I am ready for your defeat." Harry said calmly and knowingly. Voldemort began to laugh.

Harry raised his wand. But it was up in the air before he could say an incantation. It was Fawkes the phoenix. In its beak, were two wands. Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand. Fawkes broke them. What was he doing??? But suddenly, just then, Harry and Voldemort both dropped dead, painfully, wheezing on the floor. Their lives were over. How it happened, no body will ever know. But after 5 minutes or so everyone apparated by the three dead bodies' sides. All of the death eaters, teachers, friends, everyone. It was a horrible time for everyone. Ginny, was now widowed, and ron lost his best friend. How could this have happened? This was supposed to be a happy ending! But it is... After those three deaths, everyone actually DID live harmoniously and happily ever after. The End.
