Chapter Twenty- Seven- Power from Within
Harry watched as the blinding flash of Green light soared at Cho, who looked up, as her dark shiny hair wiped around with her. The light struck her at full force, and she screamed, her voices echoing off the walls making it sound like she were a million people. Her body fell to the floor with a dud, and she became motionless, her eyes blank, but focused on Harry.
A stunning spell shot from Ron's wand, and hit the death eater that had killed Cho, causing him to fall over. The chamber was quiet, except for the screaming of Bellatrix Lestrange. Hermione cast a silencing spell on her. Harry was walking ever so slowly to Cho, hoping that she was not dead. Hoping that the spell had not succeeded, but it was a foolish thought. His eyes were leaking tears, and he did not care if Ron saw. He dropped to his knees in front of Cho, scooping her into his arms, and crying on her.
He could not bare it. She was gone. She would never come back.
"Harry," said Hermione softly. Harry looked up at her. She was crying as well. "I'm sorry,"
Harry said nothing. He lifted Cho's body, but as he did, his scar burst open. It was pain beyond pain. He thought he was dead. He thought his head has split in two. He felt Cho's body slip from his fingers, but Hermione caught her.
"Harry, what's the matter?" Luna asked, dashing over. Ron, Ginny, and Neville followed in suit.
Harry could not speak. Finally the pain stopped, and he drew his eyes not onto the others, but onto the door way where the immovable Death Eaters bodies were. "Voldemort," he muttered.
"What?" Ginny asked. She looked around to the door way, and gasped. Everyone followed in suit, and became frozen.
A huge snake was standing in the doorway, fangs bared, and hissing madly. Harry knew Voldemort was possessing the Snake at that moment. Voldemort than transfigured into himself. His red eyes gleamed in the light. Those horrible spider like hands poked out of his robes. He was tall and skeletey , and very thin. He was cloaked, so his body was concealed from view. He brandished his wand like a whip, and a thin cord shot at Neville, Luna, Hermione, Ron and Ginny, wrapping around them, and binding them together.
"Your race is done Potter," said Voldemort severely, emerging into the room a bit further. Harry backed up, but raised his wand.
"You and I both know that our wands wont work against each other," Harry said, screwing his eyes against the pain of his scar. "You remember what happened two years ago?"
"Do you think Lord Voldemort forgets, Potter? I must say, there are other ways I can kill you. For instance, by attacking your heart!" and with that, he pointed his wand at Ron, and bellowed "Crucio". Blinding white light struck Ron, as he screamed in agony. He stopped several moments later.
Lord Voldemort advanced even more.
"Leave them out of this!" Harry hissed.
"Have I touched a nerve, Potter? You see, our wands may not work against each other, but there are other ways, oh yes!"
Harry didn't know what he was going to do. He knew his wand was useless now, and everyone was tied up. He needed a miracle; much less, he needed Dumbledore.
"So, either you move out of the way Potter, and let me obtain the Orbs, or, you watch as those five die, like your Parents!"
Harry didn't have a choice. However, he thought of something. A way he could protect the orbs. However, there were three of them, and he knew he couldn't carry all three, but maybe he could.
"Alright, fine!" said Harry, as he tore his eyes away from Voldemort. He couldn't let Voldemort look into his mind, because he would see Harry's plan. Harry moved to the side, and before Voldemort could say something, Harry bellowed, "Wingardium Leviosa". The Orbs rose into the air, and Fawkes swooped down upon them, sweeping them with his wings into a hole through the ceiling and out of sight.
"Foolish Move, Potter!" Voldemort said, angrily. "Now, I attack again!". He pointed his wand at Hermione, and said "Cru-" when someone hurtled out of no where, and pushed Voldemort down upon the ground. When Harry looked up, he saw that it was Sirius.
Voldemort quickly stood up, and pointed his wand at Sirius. "BLACK!" he bellowed. "THIS ISNT POSSIBLE!"
"Oh yes it is!" Sirius cackled.
Voldemort was about to cast a spell, but something happened that Harry did not expect. His hands were glowing. His wand had dropped to the floor, and he didn't know what to do.
"Harry!" said Neville. "Your hands!"
"I know, I know!" Harry said. But Harry didn't know. He didn't know what was going on. However, he felt a flood of memories surge through his mind. Cho dying, Cedric dying, the first time he had met the Longbottoms in St. Mungo's, the battle in the department of mysteries, Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets, and many many more that Harry remembered. Finally, he saw his parents; from the picture, Moody showed him the previous year. Anger surged over him, and he found himself thinking and talking aloud.
"YOU BASTARD!" he shrieked. "YOU MESSED UP A WHOLE BUNCH OF LIVES, INCLUDING MINE! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!" and with that Harry saw a blinding flash of red light surge from his hands towards Voldemort, who's robes became splattered in Blood instantly, as the light engulfed him. Voldemort became terrified, brandished his wand, turned into the snake again, and vanished from view. Harry's hands stopped glowing, and he stood there, breathing heavily, as the cord vanished from around the five others. Bellatrix was still trapped and Sirius was staring at Harry as though he had just realized he was there.
Hermione cautiously walked over to Harry. "A-Are you alright?"
Harry didn't know what to say. His brain was spinning; his heart was pumping. Suddenly, he collapsed.
