A/N: okay, well, I have no clue how a wizarding war works exactly, but so there's no confusion, this is how I'm going to make it: each side will be standing opposite the other side. A spell will be cast and a red line will appear through where the battle will be taking place, (this war will be fought through the whole world) it will explode, or sink into the earth and everyone will be mixed up (like an Order wizard will be paired off with a Death Eater and they'll have to fight), then the line reappears and stays until the war is over. If there's any questions on this concept, don't hesitate to IM or e-mail me! Now, let the war commence!
It was minutes before dawn, the two sides were standing opposite each other, ready for battle. There it was, the first ray of sunlight.
Dumbledore and Voldemort both pointed their wands at the ground between them and yelled "Commencus!" a red line separated the Order and the Death Eaters. The students watched interestedly, as they had never seen this happen before. The red line sunk into the ground, and everything began to shake, then there was a huge explosion and people went flying in every direction.
Harry landed with a loud "thump" and was afraid to get up, he knew he'd be facing Voldemort himself, just as the prophecy had said. But then, he reluctantly got up and to his amazement, the Dark Lord wasn't there, instead he was standing face to face with Lucius Malfoy.
"Well, this is a shocking turn of events," Lucius drawled. "No matter, I intend to teach you a lesson you won't soon forget either way, EXPELLIARMUS!!!" he yelled. Harry drew his wand to protect himself, but it was too late, his wand flew from his hand and Harry himself went flying backwards, hitting a cold wall. It was then that he realized where he was, he was in the Hogwarts' dungeons.
He got up and ran for his wand, "REDUCTO!!!" Harry yelled, pointing at Lucius' right arm.
Lucius was ready for this, "PROTEGO!!!" he yelled, the spell bounced back but Harry dodged it just in time. This was going to be harder than Harry thought.
Dumbledore got up and he was faced with Bellatrix Lestrange, he was ready. He just waved his wand, and she was immediately tied up in what appeared to be cobwebs. She couldn't free herself from them, they were wrapped to tightly around her.
"DIFFINDO!!!" Bellatrix yelled, her wand was in her hand when Dumbledore used his spell. Two magic swords came out of the sky and slashed through the cobwebs, freeing Bellatrix. "STUPEFY!!" she yelled.
Dumbledore just raised his cloak over his eyes and the spell was blocked. "GLACIO!!!" he yelled, Bellatriz was frozen in a giant ice block. He had another chance to attack. "REDUCTO!!!" he yelled, Bellatrix's frozen body was reduced to little more than a pile of dust. Then, surprisingly, Dumbledore began to cry. "I'm sorry, Bellatrix," he said, he had never killed anyone before, especially not one of his own students.
"TARACTICUM OFFICINALE!!!" Tonks yelled at Marcus Flint.
"PROTEGO!!!" Marcus yelled, the spell was sent flying back, but Tonks dodged it.
"REDUCTO!!!" they both yelled in unison, instead of canceling each other out, the two spells hit their destination, destroying the other's wand.
"AAAARRGH!!! Look what you've done now, you filthy halfbreed!" Marcus yelled.
"How dare you!!" Tonks yelled, going up to Marcus and slapping him hard, across the face.
"What's your problem?!" Marcus yelled, touching his cheek gingerly.
"My problem?!" Tonks argued.
"That's what I said! Or do halfbreed only hear half as well as people like us?" Marcus yelled, stepping up, his face right up in Tonks. She just stood there, looking at him, breathing heavily, as he was doing. Then, he leaned in farther, so did she, then they both leaned in at the same time. They began to kiss passionately.
"FERNUNCULUS!!!" Hermione yelled at Draco. The spell hit. Draco's teeth began to grow by enormous amounts, soon he couldn't even fight anymore, his kept tripping, and ruining his concentration.
"Even I hate to do this, Draco, but it's inevitable anyway, so, AVADA KEDAVRA!!!" Hermione yelled. Draco was killed instantly.
"STUPEFY!!!" Sage yelled at Rookwood.
"PROTEGO!!!" he yelled, evading the attack. The attack went back, and hit Sage who fell to the ground. "I take great pride in doing this, traitor of Slytherin, AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!" Rookwood yelled. Sage was killed instantly.
"EXPELLIARMUS!!!!" Ginny yelled. The spell hit Goyle's dad right in the chest and he was disarmed and thrown back.
He ran up and got his wand. "STUPEFY!!!" he yelled.
"PROTEGO! You have to be quicker than that!" Ginny retorted, blocking the spell. "TARACTICUM OFFICINALE!!!" she yelled. He jumped out of the way of her spell.
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!!" he yelled. Ginny dodged it.
She had him right where she wanted him. "AVADA KEDVARA!!!" Ginny yelled reluctantly. Goyle's dad dropped dead on the spot. Harry ran to where she thought Ginny would be. Sure enough, there he was in the dungeons fighting Lucius Malfoy.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!!!" Lucius yelled, aiming at Harry.
"NO!!!!" Ginny yelled, jumping in the path of Lucius' spell. It hit her directly in the heart. She fell to the ground.
"GINNY!!!" Harry yelled, running over to her body. She picked up her hand. No pulse. She was dead. "Ginny…." Harry cried. He was sobbing in a matter of seconds, over the body of his love.
"Mwahahahahahahaha!!! So sorry, Potter, did you love the little twit?" Lucius laughed.
"YOU!!!" Harry yelled.
"Me indeed, I'd love to stay and finish you off too, but I figure I'd rather see you be miserable, and I better go to see if the Dark Lord needs my assistance," Lucius said and walked away. Harry didn't have the strength to follow him, all he could do was sit there, and cry over the body of the only person to love him.
Snape had just gotten up to see who he would be dueling. He expected Lucius Malfoy, 'piece of cake,' he thought. When he got up, however, he shocked to see the Dark Lord Voldemort himself.
"It's so interesting how these wars sort you, don't you think, Severus?" Voldemort asked innocently.
"Shut up and lets get on with it!" Snape snarled.
"Very well, CRUCIO!!!" Voldemort yelled. Snape fell to the ground, cringing in pain. "Had enough yet?" Voldemort asked, lifting the curse.
Snape didn't answer with a yes or no. Instead he yelled, "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!!!"
Voldemort easily blocked the spell with his hand. "CRUCIO!!!" he yelled again. Snape was back on the ground. Voldemort lifted the curse, "What about now?"
Nothing was working, Snape couldn't beat the Dark Lord, he was too weak. 'Unless…..' he thought. He knew what he had to do. "Yes, and you're done too, Voldemort!!" Snape spat.
"Really? And who's going to finish me off?" Voldemort laughed.
Snape didn't answer. Instead he pointed his wand straight up in the air and started to mumble something under his breath. It was obviously a long and complex incantation, because Snape was still saying it when Hermione had spotted where he and Voldemort were fighting, Draco was hanging over her shoulder, dead.
"SEVERUS, DON'T DO IT!!!" Hermione yelled. She knew what he was about to do.
The finally, Snape stopped mumbling. "Where's this amazing curse?" Voldemort laughed. His question was soon answered. There was a blinding flash of light and when it was gone, Voldemort had disappeared. Hermione looked around, the Death Eaters were gone too. They had vanished along with the blinding light. Then Hermione saw Snape, lying on the ground, in pain.
"Severus, why did you do it?" Hermione cried.
"I did it so that you could live without fear, as long as you're happy, I'm happy," Snape said, smiling up at her.
Hermione pulled him up for a kiss. "But I don't want you to die…" Hermione cried, breaking the kiss.
"I'm sorry sweetheart. I would love to spend forever with you, but I must go now…" Snape said, still smiling. "Don't cry for me, I'm not worth all that."
"I love you Severus," Hermione said crying.
"And I love you too, and I always will, even in death, always remember that Hermione, goodbye," Snape said, kissing her hand.
"Goodbye Severus…." Hermione said, her tears were uncontrollable know. She was crying over her Snape's body, when something strange happened. He disappeared and bunch of tiny sparks were in his place, they began to float away. Hermione's necklace started to grow warm again, and pulled her in the direction of the sparks. She followed them all the way down to the dungeons, where she found Harry crying over Ginny's dead body.
"Harry, I'm so sorry…." Hermione began.
"She sacrificed her life for me, she jumped in front of Lucius' death curse, which was aimed at me. She jumped in front of it, she was killed instantly," Harry explained, he was in tears too.
Then Hermione noticed, the sparks she was following had settled themselves over Ginny's body. They had sunk into her. She began to move slightly.
"Harry, look!" Hermione said, pointing to Ginny.
Ginny opened her eyes, and leaned up. "What happened?" Ginny asked groggily.
"Ginny!" Harry said, still crying. He wrapped Ginny in a big hug. She didn't ask, she just hugged him back.
Hermione was still crying about Snape and trying to force a smile at Ginny. Then all of sudden, she felt a sharp kick in her stomach. "Ouch!" she said.
"What?" Harry and Ginny asked concernedly.
"Nothing, really, I'm just going to go for a lie down in the hospital wing," Hermione said and walked away. The halls were full of happy students and Order members. Except Tonks, who was crying.
"She was making out with Marcus Flint instead of fighting him! Now that he's gone, she's all upset!" Moody was explaining to Lupin.
Hermione continued on her way to the hospital wing, when she got there, she went to lie down on one of the beds.
"What's the problem?" Madame Pomfrey asked Hermione.
"I'm not exactly sure, but I just felt a kick in my stomach, do you think you could check it out for me?" Hermione asked.
"Certainly!" Pomfrey said, and was muttering some spells, waving her wand up and down Hermione's body. "Congratulations!" she said happily.
"What?" Hermione asked confusedly.
"Why, you're pregnant! Who's the father?" Pomfrey asked.
Hermione thought about it. "Severus Snape," she said, tears returning to her eyes.
"I see…I'm so sorry Hermione," Pomfrey said.
"Madame Pomfrey, do you think I'd be able to have a word with Hermione?" Dumbledore asked.
"Er…sure," she said, and walked out.
"Professor, Severus died in order to…." Hermione began.
"Rid the whole wizarding world of evil, I'm quite aware," Dumbledore said politely.
"Why wasn't he able to come back like Ginny was?" Hermione asked.
"Severus used his remaining strength to revive Ginny," Dumbledore said. "He knew that he wouldn't have been able to return himself."
"Why not?" Hermione asked.
"Well you see, Voldemort is an experienced Seer, he is quite skilled in Divination, he knew Severus was going to do what he did. So ahead of time, he was able to cast a spell on Severus' body, which made it impossible for him to come back as Ginny had. Nor could he return as a ghost. All because of Voldemort's spell." Dumbledore explained. "I assume Severus thought that might as well make what was left of himself useful, and revive Ginny." Dumbledore concluded.
Hermione began to cry. "I miss him…." she said through tears.
"As we all do, Hermione, but he blessed you, he left you something to remember him by, his own son," Dumbledore said, staring at Hermione stomach. Dumbledore left, Hermione followed soon after.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" Harry asked later.
"I'm pregnant," she stated simply.
"That's wonderful!" Ginny yelled.
"We have some good news too," Harry said smiling.
"What's that?" Hermione asked.
"We're getting married!" they said in unison. Hermione smiled broadly at her two best friends.
"So you're pregnant? Any ideas for a name?" Harry asked.
"Severus," Hermione said casually. Despite Snape's death less than twenty four hours earlier, Hermione was beginning to feel happier than she had ever been. She saw something silvery out of the corner of her eye. She turned around abruptly. It was gone.
"Did you see something?" Ginny asked, looking I the same direction Hermione was.
"Not sure," Hermione said, she knew it was Severus' ghost, just saying goodbye one last time.
"Too bad about Sage, eh?" Harry said.
"What happened to Sage?" Hermione asked nervously.
"She was killed, in the war," Ginny answered sadly.
"I'll be right back," Hermione said, getting up to go where Sage was fighting. She didn't make it all the way however, because she saw Flitwick carrying her up stairs.
"Sage, she's died," he said sadly.
"Sage I'm so sorry," Hermione said, looking at her body.
"Don't be!" Sage's ghost said happily.
Hermione turned around and notice that Sage wasn't alone, she was holding the hand of Blaise's ghost.
"For once, I'm finally happy," Sage said, kissing Blaise on the cheek and together they walked away.
"Tell Severus that I love him!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh we will," Blaise assured her, and together Sage and Blaise disappeared.
The End
A/N: how sad. Severus died and this is the end of my story. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks to all my reviewers.
