Chapter 5: Battle

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Sob!

Draco stared grimly at Voldemort. He saw Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, and a few other Slytherins were walking over to stand by Voldemort's side. He didn't move for a moment, pondering what would be the best way to defeat him.

Finally he decided he knew what to do. HITEN MITSURUGI STYLE!! ( JUST KIDDING! Sry... I was just reading KENSHIN!!)

He finally walked over to stand by Voldemort's side. His expression didn't change.

"Who should I kill first? I think, that I should start with Mr. Harry Potter." He flicked his wand, and locked all the doors, ensuring that nobody could get out. He stepped forward, and Harry stepped out of the crowd as well.

Hermione shivered. People were going to die tonight. Especially with the death eaters coming in...

The students were fighting bravely. No one had come to her yet, so she was standing there idly, not sure what to do.

She spotted Neville, who was fighting with Bellatrix Lestrange (I FORGET HOW TO SPELL THE NAME...SRY IF ITS WRONG!)

He seemed to be having trouble, so Hermione ran over to help him.

Together they stunned her, with a lot of struggles. She glanced around and saw that the death eaters and students had paused, and were watching Harry and Voldemort. Harry seemed to be only dodging, while Voldemort tried to kill him.

The outcome didn't look too good. Suddenly, Hermione spotted Draco walking up behind Voldemort. She could tell he was VERY frightened, as he raised his wand, and said a spell.

He had stunned him. But Voldemort was now too strong to be taken down by a spell like that. It froze him for about five seconds, which gave Harry time to stun him again.

But Voldemort was still too strong. This time, as he was expecting it, the spell bounced back and hit Harry.

"NO!" Hermione shouted, but it didn't distract Voldemort.

He said, loudly and clearly, the spell, and Harry fell limp on the floor. She ran over to his body, and started crying.

Draco gasped. How could she be so stupid? Now Voldemort was going to go after her next!

Voldemort smiled, in triumph. After killing Potter, he could do anything. He turned on Hermione.

"One more mudblood will be leaving this earth," he whispered to her, as he raised his wand. Hermione fainted, knowing she was about to die.

She awoke in the hospital wing, shocked that she was alive. She stood up, and saw that Madame Pomfrey wasn't in the room, so she tiptoed out.

Suddenly the realization hit her. Harry was dead. Her best friend... he was gone. She remembered leaning over his body, feeling the warmth leaving him.

She walked down to the Great Hall, where everything had taken place. There were several holes through the ceiling, and everything was in disarray. Tables and chairs were turned over, or shattered. There was no one in the room. No one alive that is.

She spotted at least three bodies, that the teachers hadn't tended to yet. Hermione gasped. She had just spotted a familiar person. She walked closer, hoping fervently it wasn't who she thought it was.

But her hopes were fruitless. As she saw the boy, his wand still gripped tightly in his cold hand she cried again. She sat down, and sobbed, knowing that nothing would ever be the same again.

A/N: HAHAHAHA!! I know I said I would make a longer chapter but... I wanted a cliffhanger... Wow...that was a big cliffhanger wasn't it? You don't know who died... HAHAHAHA! And since I updated so fast... I don't... cry... have any reviews to respond to!! CRY!!
