Chapter 6: Fighting a Long Time Enemy

Harry had Hermione stand behind him while Voldemort came into the room. "Harry Potter, we meet once again," he cackled. Hermione stood in front of him in anger.

"Leave my family alone, Voldemort, or should I say, Tom," she snapped.

Voldemort walked over and backhanded her. "Do not repeat that name in my presence," he hissed. Harry knelt down and helped Hermione off the floor. "Tie their friends up, have Mr. and Mrs. Potter follow me," he informed. Harry had an arm around Hermione and watched as their friends have been tied.

"Ron, could you take care of Lily for me?" Harry asked.

"Sure mate, Lavender and I will watch her," Ron replied.

Voldemort then led Harry and Hermione out of the room.

As they were led out of the mansion, Harry held onto Hermione's hand when he slipped something into her hand. Hermione opened her hand when Harry was thrown in front of Voldemort. "Well, at last a fitting end for Harry Potter," Voldemort sneered. Hermione read the note that Harry had left in her hand. The only thing that was put in the note was two symbols: an owl and an eagle. She looked up and knew what she had to do. She pulled her cloak over her and her cloak shrank down and when one of the Death Eaters lifted the cloak up, a white owl stood in her place. Harry pulled his robes over him and he turned into an eagle again. "GET AFTER THEM YOU FOOLS! BRING THEM BACK HERE NOW!" Voldemort roared. While Harry and Hermione flew off towards the mansion, the Death Eaters were chasing after them.

Once they came back to the mansion, they flew towards the room where all their friends were tied and turned back into their original forms. They untied everyone before hurrying over to Lily's crib. Harry picked her up and nodded to them. "Let's go," he urged. They hurried out of the mansion.

Once they came to their brooms, Harry got onto his Firebolt with Lily still in his arms. Hermione climbed behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. They saw Voldemort hurrying over to where they took off and pointed his wand at them. "GO, GO NOW!" Harry yelled. Before they could get far, Harry's broom was hit and they fell. Lily began to wail but thankfully Harry had landed on his back so Lily wouldn't get hurt. He got up and helped Hermione up. "Take Lily and go with Ron. You would be able to tell if I made it or not," he murmured.

"No, I'm not leaving you," Hermione objected.

Harry ran into the forest with Hermione and Lily behind him.

Once they reached into a dark place in the forest, Ron was still with them and Harry stopped. He looked at Hermione and grasped her shoulders. "Hermione, you have to leave," he urged.

"No, I'm not leaving you here to die," she interjected.

"Hermione, listen to me, if Voldemort does kill me, he will kill you straightaway with Lily. Do you want him to kill our baby too?" He asked.

"No, but Harry..."

"No buts, you're leaving to go to safety Hermione, do this for me, please."

Hermione put her hand on the back of Harry's head and pulled him into a kiss. "Hermione we have to go," Ron urged.

"POTTER, WHERE ARE YOU!?" Voldemort roared.

Harry pulled out of the kiss and nodded to Ron. Ron swooped down and grabbed Hermione around the waist. Before she was far off the ground, she pulled him into another kiss. "I love you, Harry Potter," she whispered. Harry placed a hand on her face and looked into her eyes.

"I love you too, Hermione Potter," he whispered back.

He then placed a kiss on the top of Lily's head and watched as Ron flew off with the rest of his friends with his wife and daughter. He wiped a tear away and turned into an eagle again before Voldemort found him. "Show yourself, Harry Potter. We can settle this out wizard to wizard," Voldemort stated. Harry swooped down at Voldemort's head while screeching. Voldemort hissed and shot at him. When Harry landed in another tree, he turned back into his original form.

"Leave my family out of this, Voldemort. This was always between you and me. Hermione and Lily have nothing to do with this," Harry snapped.

"On the contrary, Mr. Potter, your wife and daughter have a big part in this."

"What do you want with them?"

"I just want your wife, Potter."

"You can't have her. Hermione isn't the only thing you have been after during the past twenty-one years."

"You're right, Potter, I have been after you the most. Once I kill you, I will be able to make your wife mine."

"You will never have her."

"Come out and we can settle this once and for all."

Not long after Voldemort said those words, Harry jumped from the tree and landed on the evil wizard. Voldemort pushed Harry off him and the auror landed on his back. Voldemort stood up and held his wand out to him. "CRUCIO!" Voldemort yelled. The curse just barely missed Harry. "You can't hide forever, Potter," Voldemort sneered. Harry didn't know what to do, he was trapped in the forest with his worse enemy that killed some many people including his parents. "If you don't come out, Harry, I'll kill everyone you know. Your friends and your family. At first I'll have your friends killed first then I'll make you watch your wife and daughter die a slow and painful death. Then I'll kill you," he cackled. Harry shook his head and then he felt the curse hit him. He fell to the ground and the last thing he remembered was seeing Voldemort holding his wand above him. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" He yelled.

AN: Will Voldemort succeed this time of killing Harry Potter? Or will he make it out in a very narrow escape? The next chapter will be up soon.
