Previously on Harry Potter and the Necromancer:
I will kill you!" Harry said, raising his arm.
"What then Potter? My master will still have triumphed after killing you. Although he hasn't heard the full prophecy, he knows that killing you will seal his victory," Lestrange said.
Don't do it Harry, Hermione thought. Please. You aren't a killer.
"It's over, Lestrange," Harry said. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Green light streamed from Harry's wand and he shook from the force.
"Missed Potter," Lestrange said, smiling.
"I don't think so," Harry said, and fell heavily to the ground.
With foggy vision, he saw the Necromancer crash to the ground…in two halves. It was destroyed.
"NO!" Lestrange cried, fearfully. She looked at Lord Voldemort.
"You have failed me for the last time, Bellatrix," Voldemort said quietly. "Avada Kedavra!"
Harry blacked out.
……
Harry awoke with a large, pulsing headache. He clutched his head, attempted to sit up, but then lay right back down again.
"Awake Mr. Potter?" Madame Pomfrey asked, with disapproval. "There are several who would like to see you. I'll let them in in small groups." She walked away muttering about dangerous activities.
The first to enter were Ron and Hermione. Hermione immediately threw her arms around him. "Easy Hermione," Ron said, bewildered.
"You did it Harry. You figured it out by yourself. I really thought that you were…you were going to do it," Hermione said quietly.
"How do you know I didn't miss?" Harry asked.
"You aren't a murderer Harry Potter," Hermione said.
"No, but I might have to be," Harry said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked, confused.
"I didn't tell you about what happened after Sirius died. Dumbledore brought me into his office and let me listen to the full prophecy," Harry said, wearily.
"But the prophecy was destroyed. Neville dropped it…" Hermione said, shakily.
"Dumbledore kept a copy of it in his pensieve. It says…" Harry broke off.
"What is it, mate?" Ron said, scared.
"There's going to be a final battle between the two of us, and only one will live. It's either kill or be killed," Harry said, looking down into his hands.
"Oh Harry!" Hermione cried, and threw herself into Harry's lap, sobbing.
Ron stood uncomfortably, watching Hermione cry. "So that's it then…" he said, solemnly.
"Er…yeah," Harry said, just as uncomfortably.
And then Ron did something that Harry had never seen him do. He hugged him.
"Uh…thanks Ron," Harry said.
When the crying had finally stopped and Ron had let go of Harry, they all just looked at each other.
"We'll help you, mate. Even if it kills us," Ron said.
Harry winced. "It might Ron. You know, it just might."
