Chapter 15 - Battle
Harry spun, his wand out stretched. He knew the voice, all too well. The voice that had plagued his dreams for years now. The voice that had caused so much pain. Only one person on this planet had the power to make his blood boil with just hearing his voice. Only one voice could instill the kind of terror that was coursing through Harry's veins.
Voldemort.
"Potter," Voldemort said dragging out his name. "Are you sure you want to do that? Are you really big headed enough to think that you can handle the swords?" he said in his snake like hiss.
"Even if I can't, I will die trying!" Harry said more bravely than he felt.
"Stupid child!" Peter squeaked.
Harry's eyes snapped to the small balding man hiding the shadows behind his master. Unbeknownst to him, so did seven other pairs of eyes. Eight sets of eyes, pouring hatred into the man that had caused almost as much pain as Voldemort himself.
"You! You actually have the audacity to come here?" Harry said through gritted teeth. Harry held up three fingers behind his back.
"After all you did, you actually came here to help him?" Harry held up two fingers.
"Yes Potter, and hopefully by the end of the night I will have helped kill all the Potters." Peter said in his mousy voice.
Harry held up one finger.
Peter took a step forward to say more, but never did.
Harry made a fist behind his back.
Seven stunners found there way into Peters chest, lifting him up off the ground and throwing him into a tree. He slumped to the ground unconscious, his head lolling from side to side.
"What are you going to do now Tom? Your little friend is gone now." Harry said silkily.
"Fool! You should have joined me when you had the chance." The Dark Lord hissed.
Voldemort raised his wand faster than Harry could see it.
"Avada Kedevera!" He screamed.
Harry saw the spell coming, and did a back flip over the Pedestal. Crouching behind it, he hoped that it wouldn't harm the swords. When the green spell made contact with the stone, it rebounded and flew straight up and disappeared into the night sky.
Harry stood quickly and drew the Golden sword from its stony sheath. It slipped out like a hot knife through butter.
"No! That is mine Potter!" Voldemort said.
Hermione came running up behind Harry and Drew the Blue sword. When she slid it from its base, and power surged through Harry. A power he had never felt before, it was so immense, that he knew that Voldemort didn't have a prayer.
The two Sword Bearers walked around the stone to face the cowering dark lord.
"You can't kill me!" Voldemort said, and apperated.
Five seconds later, he reappeared standing in the same place that he was in before.
"I don't think so." James said with a grin. "I put up anti-apperation wards around this clearing. It ends tonight Voldemort." James said confidently.
"You stupid child. AVADA KEDEVERA!" He screamed again.
The green light was rushing twords James, and he didn't even flinch.
"ANTI KEDEVERA!" James yelled.
A blue shield appeared in front of James. The green light smashed into it and dissipated. James was grinning the whole time.
"It worked!" He yelled jumping up and down, his immaturity getting in the way for a second.
"Crucio!" Voldemort said when James had his guard down.
James screamed in pain as the curse coursed through his body.
Voldemort turned to Harry and Hermione.
"Now it's your turn. Avada kedevera!" He yelled.
Harry and Hermione crossed their swords in front of them, making a big X. The spell hit the center the swords glowed green. Harry could feel it coursing through the swords. He held it in, letting it gather with the power of the swords.
"Altogether now!" Harry yelled.
Eight voices yelled at once.
"Anti-Kedevera!"
A turquoise light blasted out of the crossed swords, and six blue streaks flew at the Dark Lord. They all hit him at the same time and for a second it looked as if someone had turned on a blue light inside Voldemort. Then he blew up, in a great show of blue-green sparks.
"We did it!" Harry said calmly all the fear and pain that he had been holding in seemed to have exploded with the evil tyrant.
"Let the wards down James." Hermione said.
He did so, and seconds later they heard a 'pop'. Harry assumed it was Dumbledore here to escort them back to the castle. But to his great surprise, it wasn't.
"Hello Harry." Bellatrix Lestrange sneered right in Harry's face.
Harry was so stunned that he didn't even notice her wand pointing between his ribs.
"Avada kedevera" She whispered in his ear.
