Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or anything else by J.K. Rowling. I own all my stuff. I do NOT own "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. Rock on!
Thanks again to all my reviewers!
Counter (): I'm sorry; I don't quite understand what you mean. My brain is kind of racked right now, so it might be just me. Thanks for reading anyway!
BURN THE RUM: Thanks for the songs. I'm thinking of putting one in a thank you section at the end of the story. A few people asked me about country, so I figured, why not? Anyway, they sound like great suggestions. By the way, have you updated Just A Simple Love Song, yet? I love that "Traveling Soldier" song. Anyway, I better get to writing before I forget everything!
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to Life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All of this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
Flashes of light zoomed across the forest, tearing dead branches from trees. The way Voldemort was fighting gave the illusion that he had Death Eaters with him. But he was all alone.
"That idiot girl will pay – like her pathetic parents!" Voldemort shot another killing curse at James, but he narrowly dodged it.
"Stupefy!" screamed Sirius.
Voldemort fell and clutched his chest, but he soon got up. He had clearly become more powerful and strong. He lunged at Sirius, his wand pointed at his forehead. "You'll pay for that, you filthy little-"
But he was cut off by a blue light that pushed him off Sirius. Harry lowered his wand, proud of the hit. But Voldemort sat on the ground, furious. The tips of his index finger and thumb became a deep purple as he snapped his fingers. All became silent. The beams of light stopped shooting. James, Lily and Sirius fell to the ground, stunned. Peter remained unharmed, but he was too cowardly to take part in the battle at all. Voldemort threw himself at Harry, knocking him down. His waxy hands wrapped tightly around Harry's neck, cutting off his air.
"You will die, Potter. Even as I speak, things are getting black. Run along to your parents and godfather. You can never defeat me. The mudbloods will die, all because of your failure."
Harry looked up and saw Voldemort firey eyes beaming down at him. He saw flames dance inside the pupils. How beautiful the flames were…how entrancing…how deadly…
Harry felt as if a poison dripped from Voldemort's eyes, and came out through his fingertips. His air was shortening, lungs being crushed. He eyes rolled to the back of his head…
And then Voldemort stopped. His hands let go of Harry's stinging neck. He fell to his back.
"Give me death to pay a life…
My blood's been damned to eternal strife…
Darkness has condemned my soul…
Now I'm forced to pay the toll…
Fallen…"
Voldemort's words didn't make sense to Harry at all. He didn't know what was going on. He was too weak. He heard a snap, and Voldemort was gone. James, Lily, and Sirius began to lift themselves up, rubbing their heads.
"Harry," Lily whispered. The three of them rushed to his side.
"Go to Mel," said Harry. "GO!"
They hesitantly left him, and lifted Melissa's limp form from off the ground. Harry's vision grew black, but his voice escaped, leaving nonsensical verse. A little like this:
"The glass is filled to its brim,
But the darkened contents are very dim.
The winding binds that forever tie,
Keep the truth to save a lie.
Eternity unbroken…"
Harry felt a cold flash flutter through his body as he sank into darkness. He could barely feel himself being carried to the school.
A/N: Ok, ok, I know this chapter is annoyingly vague and short. But I'm not very good at writing fight scenes. However, there's another reason that everything is confusing and short, but I can't reveal it to you YET. It would kind of…well…give something away. I will update as soon as I get some reviews (just want to know what the opinion of the chapter is).
