"Harry what are we gonna do?" Hermione had to scream to be heard.

Harry was shaking still on the floor. He looked up at her tears streaming down his face. "I don't know if we can"

"What do you mean you don't know if we can Harry we have to" Hermione replied choking on her own tears.

Harry's hand flew to his scar as fresh pain seeped through him. "I know what we have to do Hermione we have to do the only thing left to do"

"Which is?"

"Fight!"

Scrambling to his feet they raced down the steps that led to the courtyard. Hoping they had enough in them to stop all this.

"You know you look just like your father"

Neville stood up quickly pushing the table away from him and knocking over his chair. Anger blazed in his eyes as he faced the one man who put fear in everyone's heart. Yet he wasn't afraid.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY FATHER YOU HAVE NO RIGHT" he screamed. He didn't want to but he couldn't stop the tears that were falling.

"It might be wise to remember who you are talking to Mr. Longbottom" Voldemort said smirking at his pathetic attempt at bravery. He could smell the fear coming from the boy. This was going to be almost boring. Almost.

"I KNOW EXACTLY WHO I'M TALKIN TO. I'M TALKIN TO THE MAN WHO RUINED MY LIFE WHO TOOK MY PARENTS AWAY FROM ME WHO KILLED INOCENT PEOPLE. I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU" he screamed drawing his wand and pointing it at him.

Voldemort laughed. It sent shivers down all those who were gathered in the tiny courtyard.

"Big words for such a little boy. Not afraid of me are you. Your parents said something similar right before I pointed my wand at them. Funny if they had accepted my offer none of this would have happened I believe that's what they call irony. Oh well I wonder what they'll feel when they hear of your death. That is if they even remember who you are!"

Neville's eyes blazed "FLARESERIOUS" he yelled pointing his wand at Voldemort.

Voldemort was thrown backward hitting the wall with a loud crack.

"Now that was foolish," he said getting up.

"MAYBE BUT IT FELT GOOD"

"As will this" Voldemort pointed his wand at Neville.

"FLARESERIOUS" Neville yelled again cutting him of mid sentence as he sent him crashing through one of the only remaining windows.

"This is getting tiresome," he said once he was on his feet again.

"I'm just getting started"

Ron stood staring at Neville unsure what to do. He wanted to tell him to stop having digs as he could tell Voldemort was getting pissed off but he knew he wouldn't listen besides so far Neville was doing quite well. He didn't understand how Neville had the courage to do what he was doing. He had a feeling his anger was giving him the strength he needed.

Harry and Hermione were now in the courtyard. Panting at the bottom of the steps they tried to regain their breath. They jumped at the sound of glass shattering. Looking up they saw Neville with a face like thunder and his wand arm stretched out in front of him.

"What the hell does he think he's doing?" Hermione gasped when she realized what he was actually doing.

Harry looked up. "Something we should all be doing"

He started to walk over to where Neville was standing when Voldemort spotted him.

"AH 2 for 1 I see. This just got interesting. Don't worry Potter your turn will come. Very quickly"

"You know what I really hate to wait. I'm impulsive like that have to get what I want when I want it and right now I wanna finish what you started"

"I'll be the one finishing things"

"We'll see"

"Harry have you gone mad?" Hermione called after him.

"Maybe" he replied looking back briefly to smile reassuringly at her he took his place by Neville's side.

"Now where were we?" Neville asked sarcastically

"Right about here" Harry replied pointing his wand at Voldemort.

Harry doubled over dropping his wand as stabbing pains emitted all over his body. His head felt like it was about to explode. This was a familiar feeling.

Neville recognized what he had done also.

"Seems to be a favorite of yours doesn't it," he said calmly. "Don't you know any others?"

"Neville" Hermione hissed

"Shhhh" Ron said, "Let him do this he needs to do this"

"He's gonna end up dead!"

"No he's not"

"Someone is" Hermione growled

"Don't be so pessimistic" he whispered at her "If things get bad we'll step in there's more of us than there is him!"

"I suppose your right," she said slightly reassured completely forgetting her warnings.

"I know plenty. I was gonna kill you quickly. Forget that I'll show you just how many I know."

"Please do"

"Imperio" Harry shouted staggering to his feet.

"What does that do?" Ron asked turning to Hermione

"Blanks your mind" she replied "so you do what the caster wants"

"Cool. Harry make him bow at your feet didn't he do summit like that to you?"

"Ron you'll only enrage him further"

"Good"

"Yeah I think he should bow" Harry laughed as Voldemort did as he said

"Harry it doesn't last that long remember who your dealing with"

"Yes the little mudblood is right. I killed your parents Harry don't think I won't do the same to you"

Ron gasped. Pushing past Hermione he stood next to Neville.

"You've failed at that so far. What makes you think this time will be any different?"

"And then there were three" he sneered

Both Ron and Neville fell to the floor as their bodies were stabbed with pain.

"Not nice is it?" he laughed

"RON" Hermione screamed

"Feeling left out Potter?"

"Not really I like special treatment"

"Cruciatus" Neville screamed.

"What does it feel like not being able to kill 3 school boys?" Ron asked seeing his chance to get his digs in "I mean firstly you cant kill a baby and that's bad enough I mean especially seen as your supposed to be all powerful and all that crap and now your getting you arse whooped by 3 6th years. Pathetic really"

Voldemort recovered quickly and threw Ron in to a wall with the slightest flicker of his wand.

"I'm getting a little bored of all this talking!" he said mock yawning as he threw both Neville and Harry into walls.

"Now I've humored you and let you use your little school boy tricks but now its time I ended this" starting towards Harry he pointed his wand and began one of the unforgivables.

Neville who was lying behind him jumped to his feet and raced towards him. Jumping on his back he made a grab for his wand. Although he missed he did manage to put Voldemort off what he was doing as he jerked himself free.

"You wanna go first be my guest"

He pointed his wand again "Avada Kedavra"

Before Harry had the chance to disarm him the spell was cast. Green light began to twist its way out of Voldemorts wand straight at Neville.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Hermione screamed

Ron jumped to his feet as the light made its way to Neville's throat. Pushing him with all his strength he knocked him out the way of the light. Neville screamed as he connected with the wall he had been standing by. Scrambling to his feet he turned to see the light wind its way around Ron's throat.

"RON YOU FOOL" he yelled tears pouring down his face.

Ron's face was white and his eyes unseeing. His body was stiff as it fell to the hard cold floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" Harry yelled anger in his voice pain in his eyes. The tears began to show he couldn't believe this was actually happening. He and Hermione had failed.

"AVADA KEDAVRA"

Green light from three different directions, strengthened by the pain of the casters whirled like a tornado round Voldemorts body before he had time to blink.

"AVADA KEDAVRA"

The light intensified, whirling faster and faster.

"AVADA KEDAVRA"

It swept round and round until it exploded in a mass of green sparks.

Voldemorts body lay motionless on the ground. The look of surprise would be imprinted on his face for eternity. His body was cold and his eyes open in terror. Harry had never been so pleased to see someone die.

Hermione, Neville and Harry looked at one another wands still outstretched. Their lips stung with the words they had just spoken. They had, had no choice.

The teachers who had been able to enter the village when the first Avada Kedavra had been spoken rounded the corner to the courtyard. The sight of three tear stained teenagers huddled together met their eyes.

"What happened here?" Dumbledore asked one of the crowd.

"They killed you-know-who that's what happened" he replied pointing at the trio "we couldn't even move. It was like we were glued to the wall"

"Dumbledore you should see this" Professor McGonagall whispered from where she was standing behind Hermione.

Standing beside her he was met with the death he had predicted. Yet not the person he had.

"Professor I think we should get the children back to school its been a very long day and they've done very well. We're all very proud of them"

"Yes we are" she agreed sadly "All 4 of them"

Wrapping an arm round both Hermione and Neville she steered them away back towards the castle the other teachers following.

Madame Pomfrey cast a spell to transport her and Ron back to school.

Harry just stood looking at the spot where his best friend and brothers body had been. He still couldn't believe it were true.

Dumbledore put his arm around his shoulders.

"It's all my fault" Neville wailed in the distance

"It wasn't"

Dumbledore looked at him questioningly.

"It wasn't Neville's fault" he whispered through his tears

"I never suspected it was" he replied

"Why Ron? What did he ever do to deserve this?" He yelled

"Harry I think we ought to be getting back to the castle. You did good today and you didn't deserve to be rewarded like this . . . "

"He saved him he died saving Neville's life"

"He was a very brave young man not many would have done what he did"

"STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM AS IF HE'S DEAD"

"Harry I'm afraid he is dead"

Harry knew this was true he just didn't want to accept it.

"But for you he will always be alive. In your heart and in your mind. No one will forget what happened today what you did Neville Hermione and Ron did. I wish there were something I could say that would make it all better but there isn't. The pain may never go away but in time it will fade. He wouldn't want you to grieve or live your life angry. Just remember him and all the times you had things will get better. Trust me"

Harry nodded and allowed himself to be steered towards the castle. He knew Dumbledore meant well but he didn't see how things could ever be better without Ron. Inside he felt numb a feeling he didn't think he would ever be rid of.

OMG I can't believe I just wrote that. Considering how much I love Ron. I cried so much writing it its unbelievable please tell me what y'all thought. For Ron! It's not over yet and I swear it has a happy ending so please keep reading. Thanx 2 my Mione for helping me with some of the things I was stuck with. More to come I promise!
