Of moral evil and of good, than all the sages can."

The New Prophecy
Chapter 15- Ancient Power Awoken
Voldemort and his men continued their advance. It was a rather intimidating sight to see, but the kids held their ground. Harry tried to find Hermione. He was going to fight by her side, just as things would have gone if it weren't for her finding out who she really was. Just as he reached her, she decided to charge. The Syltherins followed her lead. Soon, everyone else charged as well.
Both sides met and the fighting began instantly. Kids threw whatever curse they could think of, Death Eaters cast unforgivables, and the good adults threw the few curses they could remember.
As curses were thrown kids, Death Eaters, teachers, and civilians fell to the ground. Some were stunned, while others were dead.
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening
Draco, Hermione, and Harry all worked their way to the center of the field. Somehow, Voldemort had ended up there. All three were very determined to reach him. Each had somewhat of score to settle with him. Draco, for taking away his father's affections; Harry, for taking away his parents; and Hermione, for forcing her to do things she never wanted to do and to rid the world of his evil.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Heaven just isn't hot enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Death Eaters did their best to keep the three at bay, but it was futile. They were too strong. Harry was the first to break through the human wall that surrounded Voldemort. He charged and a fierce battle began, curses being thrown almost straight away.
Just as things were getting really intense, Hermione broke through. She watched Harry for a while. His face was contorted in unmistakable hatred and pain. At the rate he was going, he wouldn't last much longer.
Sure enough, Voldemort hit him with a pretty weak spell and Harry collapsed. Hermione rushed over to the fallen body of her former beast friend.
"Well Harry. You have been a thorn in my side for quite some time now. I think it's time I alleviate this pain," Voldemort hissed. "Avada…"
"NO!" Hermione shouted. Voldemort looked over at his daughter. Her wand was raised at Voldemort. He let out a low, eerie laugh.
"Well, my daughter. It's come to this, ahs it? Well if you think I'm going to let you stop me, then you've got another thing coming."
"I will stop you. I'm not afraid of you."
"::laugh:: I can see that, little one. But I'm not afraid of anything. Even one as smart as you should know that."
"You should be afraid. Especially of me."
"ENOUGH!! This ends now!"
"Expelliamus!!" Voldemort dodged Hermione's first spell.
"Crucio!" he countered. It hit Hermione full force. She started screaming in pain. Voldemort grabbed her wand and lifted the curse. "You see, Hermione," ha laughed, "nothing can stop me. Not even a pathetic excuse of a witch such as yourself."
While Voldemort was wasting his breath, Hermione was channeling her power. She got up and pointed her wand at Voldemort once more. He laughed.
"Expelliamus," he said in a bored tone. Hermione had hoped for this. She just smirked as her eyes turned black. Voldemort's amused expression faltered a bit.
"Ventus," she said calmly. Voldemort flew back ten feet. He got up, anger evident in his eyes.
"Serpinsortia!!!!" he shouted. A twenty foot king cobra landed at Hermione's feet.
She looked down at the snake, waved her hand, and said, "Vanitas." It vanished.
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Draco made it to the inner circle of Death Eaters only to come face to face with his father. He stumbled back a bit and Lucius laughed.
"Father," Draco said nervously.
"Draco," Lucius said arrogantly. "How is Lady Riddle? Good I hope."
Draco looked at his father with a confused look. Why would he care how Hermione was doing when they were fighting against him? Lucius laughed. Draco obviously didn't get the hidden meaning in his father's question.
"So you wouldn't know. That's rich. I saw your little kiss earlier in the year. I thought that by now you would have slept with that little slut. Once again, the father knows more than his son. The girls got some spunk to her, you know. A little too whiney for my tastes, but I had to do it. I just couldn't stop myself. Whatever you do, don't let get away for a while. But once you're done with her, get rid of her."
All through Lucius' speech, Draco's blood began to boil, but his last sentence caused Draco to snap. In one swift motion, Draco pointed his wand at Lucius and screamed, "Avada Kedavra!"
There was no epic battle. No witty banter. Lucius' figure dropped to the ground a lifeless mass. The biggest threat to a happy life was gone. He was free.
Let me enlighten you
This is the was I pray
Heaven just isn't hot enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
"Iacio Stiria!" Hermione yelled. Voldemort dodged the icicles that were sent his way. He couldn't believe what was happening.
'How could she have gotten so powerful over the last couple of months? It's impossible. She's so powerful,' he thought. Though he would never show it, he was scared. This wasn't supposed to be happening. She was right too. He should have been scared of her.
"Ignius Inferi!" Hermione shouted. Voldemort barely managed to dodge the column of fire that appeared at his feet. She was really wearing him out and gaining the upper hand. When nothing came his way for a while, he looked at his daughter. She was saying something under her breath. He listened harder and finally heard what she was saying.
"Mihi Revertor…"
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Cast aside
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Return to me
You've made me turn away
All of a sudden Hermione's head snapped up, and she looked at Voldemort. In the middle of her forehead was a triangle with a sun in the middle of it. Her eyes had been, well…painted to look like the eye of Ra, and on the upper part of her wrists were three lines (A/N: like in the first Mummy movie, look at the guard people when they're mummifying the priests). She started t advance on him.
She held her palm upwards in a casual motion, and said, "Sedjet." A ball of fire appeared in her hand. Hermione moved her hand in the direction of Voldemort and muttered, "Neser." The ball of fire went zooming after Voldemort and hit him in the arm. He cried out in pain.
By now, the entire field had ceased all other activities to watch Voldemort and Hermione fight. Though it wasn't much because it was so one sided. Hermione had been kicking Voldemort's ass for quite some time now.
"Hes," she said coolly. She pointed a finger at Voldemort's left leg and it froze.
Voldemort did manage to maintain a hold of his wand all through this. With a last bout of strength he pointed it at Hermione. "Avada Kedavra!!" he screamed. The spell raced for Hermione and she made no attempt to move. She simply waved her hand and said, "Nekh," and it disappeared. Everyone was stunned. She must be incredibly strong to be able to do that.
Hermione sauntered over to her father. She knelt down to his level and whispered in his ear, "Sati su iu em sa-k er hesq tep-k." She looked over his shoulder and he followed her gaze.
Behind his back was a ghostly army of every terrifying monster imaginable. She stood and spoke to the army of monsters. She told them, "Nen renef emem ahnkhoo." She pointed a finger at Voldemort. "Seki." The animals charged Voldemort let out one final scream as the ghostly monsters took his life.
As the creatures disappeared, a lifeless Voldemort was all that remained. Hermione looked at the remaining Death Eaters. They all ran into the forest as Hermione collapsed from exhaustion. She then looked at the body of her fallen father.
"Hirundo," she whispered, tears coming to her eyes. He might not have been the best dad ever, but he was still her dad. She watched sadly as the earth swallowed the body of her father and the last great threat to peace in the wizarding world.
Draco walked up behind her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Harry watched silently, feeling very proud of Hermione, for she had overcome a huge obstacle in her clouded path. He smiled a little. He would definitely have to talk to her later.
