Back in Dungeons:
As Dumbledore locked Rockwood's body in the final cell his eyes lost there shine and a look of intensity took over. Everyone in the order quickly took notice knowing all to well that a look like that meant something big was happening.
"Albus what is it; is something wrong?" Lupin asked slowly
"It's begun! Now we have to wait and see what fate has in store for the future if you haven't wished them luck yet I suggest you do it now." He replied eerily
"What? But sir we have to try to assist them those are my best friends lives; I cant just sit here while they are up there risking there lives for all of us." Ron said standing up and walking toward the stairs
"I'm sorry Mr. Weasley but for right now there's nothing you can do to help unfortunately if you go up there now there's more chance for you to cause a distraction that could cause them there lives more then if you stay down here with us." He said putting and hand on Ron's shoulder
Ron looked down sadly knowing that what Dumbledore said was true he walked back into the cell where his sister lay. He took a seat with the rest of his family along with Lupin and Tonks. They did as Dumbledore said and sat wishing their friends good luck, and waiting to see if there lives would become better or worst.
Voldemort's Chamber:
Back two floors above Harry looked to Voldemort with pure hatred; but quickly remembered the love of his family was how he would win. Bringing up all his happy memories of Sirius, Hermione, and the Weasleys Harry took one more step closer, and slowly put his wand up.
"Well Voldemort let's end this already I'm tired of you playing games with my life." Harry said as Hermione grabbed hold of his hand and closed her eyes in concentration.
"Yes! Let's end this; but I will have a little fun first." Voldemort said smugly
"CRUCIO!" He yelled Harry didn't move in time and he screamed in pain as the curse did it's worst. Hermione not breaking her concentration kept a firm hold on Harry's hand. As more power quickly went to Harry he rose to his feet breaking the crucio curse, and causing Voldemort to fly into the wall. Voldemort quickly rose to his feet looking on in complete shock as he faced Harry's stern eyes. Harry moved away from Hermione who was now lying on the ground behind a statue so she wouldn't get hit by any curses. He knew she wasn't hurt only extremely exhausted from transferring her energy to him. Harry kept his eyes on Voldemort waiting for him to make the first move. Voldemort saw the determination in Harry's eyes and he decided playtime was over.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" They both yelled at the same time
The curses meet in mid air and there wands quickly began to tremble; Harry and Voldemort held on to their wands for dear life and slowly began to lift into the air surrounded by a shield of energy. The whole manor began to shake as there powers from within were realized. Harry continued to think of his loved one's, and what awaited him in the future and slowly the rays from his wand began to creep closer and closer towards Voldemort. Voldemort could barely keep his arm steady as Harry's curse moved towards him and fear began to enter his eyes. And suddenly just like that with a large bang a spark erupted from Harry's wand slamming him into the wall near Hermione's limp body. Voldemort's body stayed floating in the air as swarms of light surrounded him and from the inside light began pouring out of him as he opened his mouth to scream but nothing but light poured out. He slowly faded into a mist of light and shot into his own wand. Only leaving behind his robes, and his wand. Harry was barley able to stay conscious watching on in amazement as Voldemort disappeared from his world. When he saw it was over he slowly crawled to Hermione and laid her head in his lap as he passed out.
Back In The Dungeons:
As the manor began shaking Ron, Lupin, and Tonks couldn't sit around any longer. So they took off running towards the stairs leading to Voldemort's chambers ignoring the calls from other order members for them to wait.
"How far do you think the chamber is?" Ron questioned as they continued at a trot up the stairs
"Snape was telling me earlier that the dark lords chamber is on the 2nd floor." Lupin replied opening the doors leading down the 2nd floor corridor
The ground was shaking more immensely as they got closer to the doors leading to where Harry and Voldemort where battling. As Ron slowly opened the door Lupin, Tonks, and him where blinded by the lights pouring out of Voldemort.
"What's happening to him, and where's Harry and Mione?" Ron said quickly trying to see through the blinding light
"Oh my look at that Harry and Hermione did it the dark lord just got sucked into his own wand!" Tonks yelled pointing toward where Voldemort had been
"Yeah but where are they? I don't see them." Lupin said
"Tonks quickly get Albus!" He continued as he spotted Harry and Hermione lying behind the statue they where barely breathing.
Lupin and Ron quickly ran to them slowly laying Hermione flat on the ground and doing the same with Harry.
"Professor we should take them to St. Mungo's with the emergency port key Dumbledore gave you." Ron said quickly looking at the limp bodies of his best friends
Tonks ran in with Dumbledore right behind her she didn't have to go far to get him because as always Dumbledore was already on his way to meet them followed by the rest of the Weasleys.
"Remus do take them to St. Mungo's I'll be there shortly I'm just going to help the rest of the order secure the death-eaters in Azkaban." Dumbledore said as he snapped Voldemort's wand in two burnt it to ashes and locked it in a box.
Lupin quickly complied with what Dumbledore said picking up Harry as Ron picked up Hermione and they port keyed to St. Mungo's Tonks and the Weasley clan apperated after them. They waited anxiously for any news on their friends but the medi-wizards came and went not giving any news.
"Ron please sit down your starting to make me dizzy and I think your wearing a hole in the ground." Lupin said watching Ron pace back and forth in the waiting room.
"Sorry but they were so limp when we brought them in; I'm really worried. I cant lose them too this is all just to much." Ron said near tears
Mrs. Weasley walked over to her trembling son and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Ron you know Harry and Hermione are fighters they'll be ok; I know neither of them are ready to leave us yet. And if they aren't ready to go then I know that they'll be ok cause there not quitters!" She said to him; Ron nodded in agreement and gave her a weak smile.
They sat there through the night waiting for a word to come; all the order members had stopped by most where still they're hoping to get a word on Harry and Hermione. But the only thing they heard was that there condition was still unstable and things could go either way. They were both extremely weak, and nothing the medi-wizards had done so far was really helping. Finally around sun rise a medi-wizard arrived to speak with them.
"I really must apologies for not coming to speak with you all sooner but these two patients are keeping us quiet busy." He said
"Please just tell us are they ok?" Ron said impatiently
"Well there stable now but neither of them have woken up just yet, and we can't seem to get them to wake." He replied
"Oh! When can we see them?" Lupin said
"Right now if you like but only 2 at a time please they are stable but they do need their rest. Mr. Potter's in room 214 Ms. Granger's in room 212." He replied
"Why aren't they in the same room?" Ron asked
"They were given private rooms on Albus Dumbledore's orders." He Replied
"Oh" Ron replied as he headed towards Harry's room first; Lupin following behind him as Mrs. Weasley and Tonk's headed towards Hermione's.
The rest of there friends now including Neville, Luna, Lavender, Seamus, Dean, most of the Gryffindors, and everyone that was in D.A. with them were now also waiting to see them and wish them well.
