06 A Marvellous Death

Voldemort flew out of the shadows; his pale features only underlined the red glow in these orbs, filled with pure hatred and madness. He hissed a thin line of blood running down his chin. Another hex caught him in the middle of the chest and slammed him against the wall of the dungeon. And another one. Curse after curse hit, Stupefy, Expelliarmus, Confundo, Conjunctiva, Crucio, Diffindo and then.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Green light flashed out of Harry's wand and hit the Dark Lord. His eyes burned with hatred as they suddenly glowed bright green and a corpse fell dumb to the ground, shortly before it burned itself to ashes, leaving nothing behind but a silver pendant.

A snake.
