Lord of Fate
Illustrious Sorrow
Chapter 14: The End
Harry stood up and got the attention of the hall. When Hermione told him the school was all waiting for the announcement, he spoke.
"They are here. It is time."
The students began to panic, screaming and trying to run out of the great hall. Hermione frowned and waved her hands, causing all of the students to freeze where they were, do to a modification of the paralyzing spell.
"All you students will stay in here, under a shielding charm. As long as you don't move from your positions, the death eaters will not sense you. No matter what happens, you must not move. Everybody sit down and get comfortable, we need to place the spell."
After a few minutes, the students were all sitting in chairs of on the floor, the Great Hall filled with the stink of fear. Once the students were protected, Harry and Hermione, along with their daughters, lead the teachers out to meet the death eaters.
The horizon was black with the robes of the masked killers, and in the front of the mass, was Voldemort. Spidery and sinister, his cackling filled the air.
"A dozen teachers and two children? Is that the best defense you pitiful excuses for wizards could come up with? No matter, we'll kill you and take the school as our base. Death Eaters! Attack!"
The mass surged forward only to be met with a huge barrier. The teachers began to take out the death eaters while Harry, Hermione, Raven, and Lily stood together in the middle of the shield. As one, they began to chant, walking forward; they stopped at the edge of the barrier. The small but powerful family began to glow, and they seemed to merge. No longer were they distinguishable as individuals, though their bodies never touched each other. Finally, the presence that could only barely be identified as Harry stepped forward. In his hands was a ball of golden light. Just behind him, on either side, were Lily and Raven, and in the back, Hermione.
"Blood to blood, we call thee." Harry's voice thundered across the fields.
"Magic to magic, we summon thee" Hermione's voice held the chill of hate.
"Life to life, we murder thee" Lily and Raven spoke in unison.
"Soul to soul, we take yours away." Harry threw the golden ball at Voldemort and as the pure light surrounded him, Voldemort for the first time, learned to regret what he had done. Then, his body was torn apart, his soul rising from his shreds of his skin and floating, a deep black, just tinged with white.
Harry again stepped forward.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle, you stole the lives of many, you lived without regret or mercy. You sacrificed your immortal soul for eternal hell by slaying pure beings. I now divest you of the soul you have so badly mistreated, Light mixed with evil, will become human. Come to me!"
The soul of the late Lord Voldemort flew into Harry's body and with a flash of light of an indescribable color, Harry collapsed on the battlefield. Seeing that their master was dead, some of the death eaters surrendered their wands, but most began to attack with greater fury. Hermione and the twins, along with the teachers fought back, the original shield Harry had created gone.
Suddenly, as the death eaters gained the upper hand, the students of Hogwarts stormed the field. Stunners and paralyzing spells flew, competing with the unforgivables. After a grueling 5-hour fight, the death eaters were all dead or unconscious and being escorted off Hogwarts property by Ministry officials, who had arrived in time to see the last of the death eaters' surrender.
Hermione knelt down beside her husband, tears streaming from her eyes. The twins threw themselves on the ground next to their father, crying.
"You promised! You said you'd never leave us!"
"Don't die daddy! Stay with us!"
The sky seemed to darken, and a gentle rain poured, as if in mourning that such a great hero might leave it. The victory, which should have been so bright, was shadowed by Harry Potter's prone figure.
At first glance, Harry didn't seem to have any injury, but when you looked into his blank eyes, you could see the blood swirling in them, and his clothes, black to begin with, were drenched in his own blood.
Harry opened his mouth, voice dry and rasping.
"I'm sorry, girls. I knew this would happen. Mum told us the risks, and I knew it would have to be me."
"Koibito, why are you suffering so much? What is happening to you?"
"Tom Riddle inflicted much pain. He is now dying in the same way his victims did. He feels the emotional pain and fear, while I get the physical. Do not worry. It is necessary. Our souls are bound. I know I promised I would never leave you..." Harry coughed, blood flying out of his tearing mouth.
"I'm so sorry." His whispered words were difficult to hear, and he struggled to finish what he had to see.
"We'll come back, as one. I promise. I'll see you again, but it won't be the same. I won't be the same. We will be normal, we hope. Don't be surprised when we know us but we are nothing as we used to be."
Harry's voice was weakening rapidly. He began to mutter, saying nonsense words and the pain began to overcome his tolerance. Hermione only managed to catch one last sentence.
"Love...you...all..."
Harry Potter lapsed into unconsciousness only five minutes after the battle ended, never waking from a coma that lasted three days, as if waiting for something. Then, at midnight, as Hermione looked on, Harry sighed, and there was the scent of death on his breath. Even as Hermione rushed to him, Harry Potter died.
As the stroke of midnight, a woman and a man were joined for the first time, in the love of their marriage. As they cried out in release, a child was conceived.
