Harry Potter and the Elements of Life

By: Krystal Lily Potter

Chapter 20: The Beginning and the End

Rated: PG

Summary: When Harry's fourth year ended he was sent to find two girls with raven black hair and emerald green eyes: Jasmine and Gemma Potter, his two sisters. As the year went on Harry got extraordinary powers. Sirius was freed and it also Lily was alive. But then something started killing Gryffindors. Now history's repeating itself, the Keeper of Hufflepuff (Gemma) was hung by the Keeper of Slytherin (Voldemort). The Aurors are falling and the teachers must fight, leaving the students alone. Harry and Jasmine are in a race against time to find the last four Elements of Life before Voldemort reaches the school...which has gone down to mere minutes. Also they find out the truth about themselves and what Dumbledore has really been keeping from them.

Note: well this is the second last chapter and the 'battle scene' chapter. The next chapter is simply how everything turns out. A quick summary of what happened later on...

Note2: I just realized this...why was Harry so worried about the Basilisk's stare KILLING him in the Chamber of Secrets. Sure I know it makes sense, he was the only one at the time that could save Ginny and all but that's not the point I'm getting at...the basilisk's stare wouldn't kill him unless he knocked his glasses off and looked at it. With his glasses on it was just petrify him, like what happened to Colin Creevey (With the camera) and Justin (Seeing it through Nick)...just thought I'd point that out...I know I'm a sped (LOL)

 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voldemort led his Death Eaters through Hogsmead, although it wasn't as easy a task as he originally believed. All the villagers were working together to try and stop him from getting to Hogwarts.

It was insane here! Even the blasted little kids were helping. They hid in the houses or on the roofs and threw everything at Death Eaters from pebbles to butcher knives. Honestly it actually amused Voldemort a little bit to see these small children fighting his Death Eaters, although he did have to kill one of the older ones because that kid actually killed one of his Death Eaters by stabbing it in the head!

Although he ignored it, there was a worried feeling deep down in his empty heart. It was a surprise Voldemort actually didn't notice it because it was the first feeling he had there in along time.

He could taste the victory in his mouth. He would kill the Potter twins with his bare hands like he did with their sister.

Years ago Peter Pettigrew had come to him and told him part of a prophecy he heard someone say, but he had gotten kicked out of the bar before hearing the last of it.


Voldemort had to choose between Neville Longbottom, Jasmine Potter, Gemma Potter and Harry Potter. He had actually hid and watched all four children.

He knew who was the one with the power to defeat him the second he saw the child. He remembered clearly, the young boy had stared directly at him with those piercing emerald eyes. And an odd feeling went through him. He didn't know what it was but it made him realize Harry Potter had to be killed.

And now he, along with his remaining sister would die in less then a few hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although Harry knew he wasn't the Keeper of Gryffindor or anything he was determined to win.

'Stupid Dumbledore...making us believe we were something we're not,' He thought darkly.

Jasmine shifted nervously as his side.


They both stood in front of the gates, waiting for Voldemort to show up. They knew he was traveling through Hogsmead at this very minute.

The way the teams would work is when one team got too tired they'd fall back and another one would take their place and so on.

The hidden fighters were basically back up in case anything bad happened like the amount fighting got to small.

The retrieval team was scattered all around the area, hidden. Harry knew he couldn't stop them from firing hexes and other lighter spells.

"Damn even if they do cheering charms it'll help distract the Death Eaters," Harry muttered under his breath.

Jasmine looked at him and said, "If something happens...the worse, the guards and 'healers' have permission to leave and fight right?"

"Only if the worst happens," Harry said well nodding.

She gulped then said, "Harry, I'm glad I met you. Thank you for brining me into this world. Despite the horror I've seen in my short time here, I've had a great time here all the same. I would have never knowing my family other wise or what I could truly do. You gave me a place to fit in, a place where I belong. I haven't seen as much of you...and I know I never will, but I'm here with you all through this...willing to help as much as possible."

Harry stared at her then said, "No, I should be thanking you. God knows where I'd be if I never met you and Gemma. I'd probably be running off too...the Ministry of Magic and end up getting Sirius killed or something. (Sorry, I just had to add that in) I'd never had known mom was alive. I wouldn't have told Hermione how I felt about her...the list goes on and on. You, mom, Sirius, Remus, Hermione, Ron and I'll even make a small place for Dean, are all I have now."

She smiled and him and hugged him then said, "So, we're in this together all the way through."

"All the way," Harry smiled and nodded. Both then got a disturbed face as they heard something else.

"I'm with you too...even if you can't see me."

"Gemma..." Jasmine muttered. Suddenly there was an explosion and Death Eaters started coming into view.

"Here we go," Harry mumbled. Jasmine nodded and they waited for the beginning of the end to come. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voldemort stopped and stared at the area in front of him.

"What is it Master?" One of his servants he recently got out of Azkaban, Bellatrix Lestrange, asked. She was considered one of his most loyal servants, even over her husband. She was one of the people that tortured the Longbottoms to insanity...and was proud of it.

His eyes held hunger in it and his Death Eaters could see why. There standing in front of the gate was Harry and Jasmine Potter.

"Master, doesn't it seem the least bit odd they are standing in the middle of the road, in front of the gates to Hogwarts, with no one protecting them," Lucius Malfoy said to his master.


"No it does not," Voldemort said, "After Dumbledore left they probably ignored his orders and came outside. I do not know what their moronic plan was but it ends now!"

They continued forwards but stopped once they were about 10 yards from the twins.

"Now this is amusing. You two think you can stand up to a whole army?" Voldemort sid getting laughs from his Death Eaters.

Jasmine got a scandalized look on her face and said, "Heavens no."

"We just think we can stand up to you," Harry said, finishing his sister's sentence and stressing the you.

Voldemort's eyes flicked in amusement and he said, "Really? Well it's a lot harder to beat the killer of Dumbledore."

"What?" Jasmine said, her blue eyes flashing in confusion.

"Yes, Dumbledore is dead...under my wand, which you will be too, very soon."

"Like hell," Harry suddenly spat at him, getting surprised looks from everyone as he stepped in between his sister and the murderer of his father and sister.

"What did you say?" Voldemort hissed.

"LIKE HELL!" Harry yelled again, his voice with sheer sudden rage in it.

"So be it Potter. You just sentenced this entire school to doom," Voldemort hissed. He then muttered to his Death Eaters, "Kill everyone."

Harry's eyes flashed and he smirked and said, "Wrong against Voldie."


That made the man's red eyes turn to him with anger and he said, "What did you say."

"It's time for you to meet you're end. History isn't repeating itself this time...last time it was Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor against Slytherin. This time its all of us again you," Jasmine said from her spot behind her brother.

A few Death Eaters stared with confusion but moved forwards to take Hogwarts as their own. Not knowing that this was exactly what Harry had hoped would happen.

"NOW!" he yelled.

Suddenly, much to the Death Eaters shock, curses flew out of every direction. Soon later students started appearing out of the surrounding woods. 

They had the upper hand at the moment, they knew they did as many of them stunned the Death Eaters. Some older teenagers used more complicated hexes.

"Crucio!"

"Progeto!"

"Stupefy!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

Everyone was waiting for these power curses to come as they fought. The Death Eaters knocked out of their surprised and rushed into the attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lily pushed herself through the thick bush of the forest. Instead of going through Hogsmead and getting noticed. She, one some unspoken account, was now the leader of the ones that remained.

Sirius was less then two steps behind her, then Remus was right behind him. All were trying their hardest to get to Hogwarts.

Lily stopped as she stared at an unfamiliar group of trees.

Sirius put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Lets Remus and I lead for now...you did a great job. We just know this forest better."

She nodded, knowing there wasn't any time for stupidity or arguing...even Snape seemed to realize that.

As they drew closer to the school they heard several explosions and saw a few curses fly into the air.

They all sped up, realizing that they were too late to stop the Death Eaters from taking over the school. They were probably fighting each other to see who would kill who.

Lily once again got in the lead spot and pushed the door open. Her stopped, her emerald eyes widened at the sight in front of her.


Students and Death Eaters were fighting it out...all the way.

Some Death Eaters were on the ground, dead, wounded or stunned. Some students were in the same positions.

"TEAM 2!" a male voice yelled suddenly.

They watched well the students retreated and even more showed up, all ready and fresh for battle.

McGonagall almost had a heart attack as she knows the small first and second years grabbed the hurt, dead and almost dead and brining them into the school.

Flitwick noticed the guards at the door were taking their job seriously. They'd only let the first years pass.

Now it was Lily's turn to almost have a heart attack as a Death Eater crashed into the trees beside them. But that's not why. It was who attacked the Death Eater that almost gave her that o so wanted heart attack. Jasmine.

The black haired girl had sweat on her face and quiet a few scrapes and bruises, but all of them could see the determined look on her face as she returned to the battle without acknowledging them.

They knew she had seen them though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione quickly worked at Healing the students. She was determined to do the best job she could.

Although there was no help to wake the dead...

Many people had come through so far. Many she had known...

Anthony Goldstein, Ernie Macmillan, Cho Chang, Alicia Spinnet...any many more she didn't know.

She was relieved that no on had turned out to be Harry yet, as selfish as it sounded.

The "medical" team was doing their best, but they were loosing many people...despite all their efforts.

"We need Madam Pomfrey!" Someone yelled.


"She's dead," A second year said as he walked inside. He had blood on his robes and was helping Lee Jordan in.

"Oh Lee, are you ok?" Katie asked him. She too was on the medical team.

He flashed her a smile and said, "No need to worry my little 6th year friend. Fred and George are also putting up one hell of a fight."


"I don't see why I'm here," Ron mumbled. He had been on the team to stay behind too.

"Don't you get it Ron?" Hermione asked, "Harry put us here so we wouldn't die...or at least that's what he hopes."


"What about Fred and George?"

"They couldn't have everybody they wanted to stay behind stay back...and knowing Fred and George they would have killed him if he had made them stay," Dean said.


"And we know why Harry made you stay, for Jasmine," Hermione said with a smile.


Dean sighed and shook his head, his eyes wide with amusement and worry as they all returned to work.


The only amusing thing that happened then whole time really was watching Katie chase Lee around...his arm had been cut open and the potion was extremely painful, so he ran.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry wiped some blood from his mouth as he stuck another Death Eater with a Sleeping Curse.

He had gotten many curses himself and was banged up quite a bit.


Students were shooting him confused looks at this, they had gotten the impression throughout the year that Harry was all powerful.

'That makes two of us,' He thought darkly as Lucius Malfoy appeared in front of him.

"You know Potter...I will take great pleasure in killing you," Malfoy said and raised his wand in front of him.

"No you won't, you can't kill me," Harry spat out the ducked as the Cruciatus Curse was flung at him.

"You will die on this day Potter," Lucius hissed.

"No dad, you will," A voice said from behind him. Lucius turned around just in time to get hit with a freezing spell, incasing his body with ice and making him fall to the ground.

Harry met Draco's eyes for a second and both nodded and took off fighting Death Eaters in different directions.

Jasmine suddenly ran to her brother, crashing with him roughly. He stared at her as she panted and said, "Mom, Sirius, Remus, Snape, McGonagall and some others are over there...but Dumbledore isn't with them."

Harry stared at her for a few moments and said, "He really is dead."

That made her stare at him in horror and she said, "What do we do now?"

"It doesn't matter...Dumbledore couldn't defeat him," Harry said.

"So you finally admit it," Voldemort said. He had finally reached the twins once again.

"You never knew?" Harry asked, "Then why in the world did you attack us all those years ago?"

Voldemort stared at them, and then said, "So you finally found the prophecy. I was unfortunate to have only heard part of it. How did it go? Oh yes, 'The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches...born to those that have defied him thrice him, Born as the seventh month dies...', it did not end there, I know there was more to it."

"Well maybe you do have brains," Jasmine muttered.

Voldemort chuckled at the younger girl and said, "You have no idea how hard it was to track down the stupid prophecy child as we had grown to call it, only to find it could be one of four children. Now naturally we originally thought it was a certain Neville Longbottom because he was only a small child, but something changed my mind. I was in disguise at the time stalking the Longbottoms. Then there in the park I seen the little brat playing with your sisters, and I seen you sitting alone. This made me curious...I walked a little closer and you looked at him. I admit it; I got an odd feeling of foreboding...something told me you would be no good for my new world. It was then I realized you were the one I needed to get rid of...not Longbottom or your sisters...you."

His eyes blazed around the battle for a moment, "Although that seems to be slightly more complicated that I originally thought."

"You won't win Voldemort," Harry growled.


"We shall see..." Voldemort said with a smirk. He suddenly drew his wand and yelled, "Avada Kedavra!"

Neither one of the twins had seen it coming. They both just stood their, frozen.

"Crucio!" An angry voice yelled. Voldemort had hit the ground in pain.

Both twins found themselves on the ground...Sirius Black was on top of them and the emerald streak of light flashed over them like a laser light.

He stood up and helped them both up, growling darkly at the dark wizard in front of him much like a dog would.

Jasmine's eyes looked over at their mother who had her wand out and was shaking in rage. Lily had just used an Unforgivable curse and would do it again too.

"Don't dare touch my children," She hissed, her voice was colder and more dangerous then one Voldemort had yet to hear.

The students noticed some teachers and Aurors joining the fight. This made them fight even harder.

"Sirius, you're as pathetic as always," The cold voice of Bellatrix Lestrange said to him.

"You know Bella," He said with a dangerous tone, "We should see really who is more pathetic...and now is a great time." He threw a curse at her, knocking her off her feet and about 20 feet back.

A Death Eater came up behind Lily, but she shot a shock curse at him.

The battle was now getting very bloody. At the arrival of the teachers all of the groups, including the hidden group had came out and started fighting.

It was totally off plan, but Harry could care less.

Jasmine was now fighting with a witch with wild brown hair, her eyes held an insane look.

She screamed as she got hit with the torturing curse. Suddenly a young woman with long straight black hair and dark blue eyes appeared out of no where and actually kicked the Death Eater in the head, rendering her unconscious.

Jasmine looked at her curiously and she said, "I'm Tonks...an Auror and cousin of Sirius over there, don't worry I'm on your side."

She nodded and turned to stare at the battle. Tears welded up in her eyes as she saw person after person dying, Dark and Light.

"Voldemort can't win," She muttered, starting to feel odd, "He just can't."

The oddest thing ever happened next, a light white glow appeared over her heart, then that light shot into the air in front of her and an orb appeared. It was pale silver in color. She would have sworn for a minute her heart had stopped...the Element of Light was inside her all along!

Harry turned around and stared at her...his scars were bleeding once again and he had many open cuts now....but refused to stop fighting. His eyes widened and he said, "Light..."

Voldemort also started with surprise, not noticing a black glow over where his heart should have been. Suddenly, in reaction to its opposite, the darkness flew out and joined light side by side. It slowly turned into a dark gray one. The Element of Darkness.

Jasmine quickly grasped both in her hands, claiming them. They glowed then flew back to the shield they were stored in that was currently located in Dumbledore's office.

Voldemort wasn't impressed by this at all as he quickly threw a purple colored curse at her. It struck her in the stomach, throwing her back several feet and onto the ground, unconscious.

"JASMINE!" Harry yelled to her and rushed through several curses heading his way to get to his sister. He winced in pain as three or four Cruciatus curses smashed into him at the exact same time. He didn't care though; his sister was the only thing on his mind at the moment.

He knelt down next to her and shook her well saying, "Jasmine, wake up!"

She wouldn't wake up, but Harry was relieved to see that she was breathing.

Remus ducked a Killing Curse and knelt down next to Harry. He muttered something under his breath. Jasmine didn't move. He cursed under his breath and said, "Get her inside."

Harry motioned for two of the first years to come over.

A boy and a girl came over and Harry said, "Get her inside...and don't stop for anything on the way, understand."


They both nodded their heads, the boy picked up her arms and the girl picked up her legs and they both took off towards the castle.

Terry Boot was one of the ones still standing guard as they approached. His eyes widened and he said, "Here, I'll run in and give her to them."

They looked at each other, shrugged and passed her over to Terry. In relation Terry quickly ran into the Great Hall.


He burst in the door and looked around, spotting Dean, Hermione and Ron all sitting together.

He took off towards them. As he drew closer Dean looked over and his face went pale and he said, "Jasmine?! What happened to her?"

"No clue," Terry said, "But just in case I knew I had to get her in here very quickly. I don't want you to lose her like I lost...well yes...here." He passed her over, nodded to the others and ran back outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry was now livid from the Death Eaters harming his sister, and he wasn't the only one. Lil fought fiercely with every Death Eater in her way, claming her title as a dueling expert once again. Sirius was still fighting with Bellatrix, but once and awhile when she was down he'd hit another Death Eater. Remus was just hitting any Death Eater that came towards him.

Voldemort stood in the center of all the battles once again, laughing evilly at all of this. Harry scowled at that. He started making his way over to the Dark Lord firing hexes at random people that got in his way.

Finally they were face to face. The Boy Who Lived and the Dark Lord.

"So Potter, are you finally ready to face me like a man?" Voldemort hissed.

"More like are you ready to face me," Harry's voice was firm yet challenging, he wanted Voldemort to make the first move.

"You don't fool me Potter," He said and muttered curse words Harry hadn't heard in his life before now. The ground underneath his feet shook, sending him into his back. A little surprised from that, he slowly pushed himself on the ground.

Voldemort smirked and uttered the words, "Avada Kedavra."

Harry reached for his wand, only to find that it wasn't there. His eyes widened in horror as he felt his whole body turn numb. He couldn't move and he couldn't stop the curse from hitting him like he had the year before.

Just before the curse was about to crash into him Lily suddenly ran in front of Harry. She faced her back towards the curse and held Harry in her arms. She closed her eyes tightly and muttered, "Tell your sister I'll always love both of you forever."

Harry stared in shock as the curse hit her back, sending them both flying. He let out a groan as he smacked the ground. Although he didn't care. His eyes were on his mother's now deadly still figure.

He tried to find a pulse, breathing...anything! There was nothing...she was dead. Harry felt, for the first time in along time, hot tears in his eyes, ones that refused to leave their current position.

Voldemort let out a dark laugh, he might not have killed Harry but the other was out of the way. He didn't realize what a stupid mistake he just made.

Remus went deadly pale, his eyes were wide with shock and surprise. Sirius on the other hand looked like he was about to rip the head off someone.

Harry's fists clenched and he stood up and stared at Voldemort with eyes full of sheer hate and said, "YOU – FUCKING – BASTARD!"

"Now, now Potter...language," Voldemort replied, and looked surprised at the reply he got.

"DON'T LANGUAGE POTTER ME! YOU JUST FUCKING KILL MY MOTHER!" Harry was positively shaking with rage; his red aura was clearly seen around him once again.

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be


"You want me Voldemort, here I am. Leave them all out of this," Harry hissed darkly at him. Not noticing a white glow over his heart and a black one over his mothers.

Here I am - it's just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

Voldemort's eyes grew wide as he saw the glow, knowing exactly what they were.

Harry's eyes followed Voldemort's and he gasped. They found them all...

Harry touched his hand over his heart, right where the glowing was and felt the power from it radiate in him, and he felt the beat of his heart along with it, telling him to keep fighting.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

He took a deep breath and concentrated on the object he knew was inside him...it was there all along.

The Element of Death suddenly appeared in front of him, making him look back at his mother sadly, she was really gone now...this pitch black orb was here to prove it.

'I want to live...to win this...for everyone else to live...for the life of the world,' He thought to himself.

Suddenly there was an explosion of white light as the Element of Life appeared in front of him. He took it and the orb of Darkness into his hands and instead of flying to the shield...the shield flew to him.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come

Jasmine's eyes suddenly snapped open and she jerked straight up. Her blue eyes looked at all the curious people now staring at her.

She stood up and quickly rushed out of the Great Hall.

"JASMINE!" Hermione yelled at her and rushed after her friend, only to crash into her as she stopped at the door.

Jasmine watched the glow as it went into the shield of Elements. All of the small orbs were glowing bright, making almost every on looker cover their eyes from fear in injury.

Here we are - still going strong
Right here in the place where we belong

A Light glow overtook her body and she muttered, "Here we go."

Hermione stared at her friend as her normal feeling left...and a feeling of power over took it. That's when it hit her...all along there hadn't really been anything special about either Potter...none of them.

Jasmine looked directly at her brother. A feeling of terrifying power surrounded him. She knew this was it, the end of what they thought was the beginning of a world of darkness.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts

Harry stared at Voldemort as the light went into him. For the first time in his life he really truly felt he could win.

He felt the eyes of all the students outside on him, with hope in their hearts. He felt his sister staring at him with pride and Hermione was staring at him with amazement. The most satisfying one on the other hand was the feeling of fear he was detecting...coming from Voldemort himself.


"What's wrong Tom?" Harry chuckled.


"What did you just call me?" Voldemort snarled.


It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

"you're name...Tom Riddle...you know the Heir of Slytherin," Harry smirked at this, "Isn't it ironic that you think Pureblood's are the only one's that are supposed to live...when you yourself aren't a pureblood." Many people started with surprise now. "Yeah you even told me yourself, or rather you're 16-year-old self did in the Chamber of Secrets."

Voldemort looked positively livid now.

"Don't try anything," Harry growled, "I can kill you in an instant now."

"I'd like to see you try," Voldemort replied.


Harry couldn't help but smirk about the situation; he was egging Voldemort on so he wouldn't notice that his Death Eaters were slowly being trapped...unable to warn their leader of the danger he was in.

Here I am
Here I am
Waiting for you

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort yelled.

The green light streaked towards Harry, but he stayed in one spot. His eyes seemed to get twice as bright as the curse reflected off them just as it hit him.

A few people screamed and Voldemort started laughing evilly.

As the light slowly vanished Harry said, "Is that all you've got?"

Even Voldemort stared at him with surprise.

"You don't know what I am do you?" Harry hissed, "I'm not this stupid "Keeper of Gryffindor" or anything else...I'm a Death Master."

Voldemort seemed to pale at that, but no one else knew what it was.

"Yes...Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, a Death Master, and his sister, Jasmine Potter a Light Mistress...ironic ain't it?" Harry said and rolled his eyes. He then got a serious look on his face and said, "This ends here now Voldie."

Voldemort got a very angry look on his face, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The light seemed larger then normal as it started to head towards Harry. Harry on the other hand threw his wand back, which automatically flew into his sister's hands.

Everyone stared in shock as Harry literally ran into the curse.

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be


He drew Gryffindor's sword out of his belt, it had been hidden by his invisibility clock the entire time.

"I guess everyone should know the truth..." Harry muttered. Then an eerie voice was heard echoing through the air so everyone could hear it.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...

Born to those that have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal...

But he will have powers the Dark Lord knows not...

And either must die at the hands of the other...

For neither can live well the other survives...

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...

Here I am - just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

"THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE PROPHECY!" Voldemort yelled.


"Too bad you knew it a few moments too late," Harry said and brought sword back, then stabbed Voldemort through the chest with it.

The Dark Lord's eyes widened as he felt the life being sucked out of him. His soul started to escape like it did so many years ago...but instead it was pulled into a small pendent that seemed to appear out of no where. There was a terrible screeching sound then it was just...over.

There was along shocking pause...Harry even dropped the sword from sheer surprise.

Suddenly cheers started to rise through the crowds...the remaining Death Eaters were all unconscious from pain...the Dark Marks reacted badly to Voldemort's Death.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts

Harry looked around, he was shocked that he had just killed somebody, but something in his heart told him what he did was right.

Maybe it was the relief and happiness on everyone's faces.

For the first time in his life he seen Malfoy smile widely, not a cruel smile but a genuine smile as he found Blaise and hugged her tightly. She too had a wide smile on her face.

There was much blood...and just as many tears, but the smiles and joy filled the air more then anything else.

It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you

"HARRY!"

Harry had just put the sword back in his belt and had turned around to see Hermione running towards him.


He smiled greatly had spun her around as she ran into his arms. Tears were pouring down her cheeks as she hugged him tightly.

"Harry, don't dare do anything stupid like that again," She said well crying.


"I won't Mione...I promise," Harry mumbled. He looked over her shoulder and saw Jasmine's terrified face. He followed her gaze then mumbled, "Mom..."

Hermione, without leaving his grasp turned around and stared at Jasmine, who was staring at their mother's dead body with pain in her eyes.

Harry made a motion for her to join them and she quickly went beside Hermione in her brother's arms.

Tears poured down her cheeks and onto the ground. Although nobody noticed it at first the ruined ground around them started to 'heal'. Although not Harry did notice it.

"Healing...this is what I was meant to do...prove that people can heal," Jasmine muttered.

Sirius placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and one on Jasmine's and stared at the school sadly.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you

Nobody noticed three figures standing side by side smiling happily at the group below...everything was finally as it should be.

Dean walked over and Jasmine went to him.

"You finally did it Harry," Hermione said.


"No," He replied, "We all did it. We all just needed a new start...and now its alive...with the beating of our hearts."

She smiled and hugged him tightly again. Nobody was left without tears on this day, even Harry had finally let his slip from their resting place in his emerald eyes.

Here I am - next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am

"Thank you Harry for finally winning...for us," Gemma muttered as she, James Potter and Lily Potter all passed through to heaven together...their job on Earth was finally done.

Here I am - this is me
