This was not the ending I wanted to write...but it just happened. I'm sorry to all those who liked Sirius and he died (again!) but when you read on there is an explanation why.

Okay, this is the final chapter to 'Harry Potter and His Last Year'

Chapter 10: Is it the End?

Harry just stared numbly at the body of his Godfather before intense rage overtook him. He leapt aside as another 'AVADA KEDAVRA' shot towards him, ignoring the pain that spread through his body with every move. He didn't care anymore. Anger pulsed through his veins and into his heart. His eyes flashed dangerously, the power that lay deep within him awakened. The power of his parents combined floated through him. He had his wand now having snatched it from its position when he had leapt out of the way of the curse.

Harry risked a glance upwards. The opening into the dead world was slowly closing. Voldemort was no longer keeping it open. That meant...

Harry gritted his teeth, raised his wand, and shouted 'AVADA KEDAVRA!'. Though he hadn't used the killing curse before he found it came naturally. The power came from his anger. It was fury.

At the same time Voldemort shouted the killing curse. Both spells met in mid-air, hitting each other and rebounding upon the caster. Harry leapt aside, but Voldemort hadn't realised that it would happen and was not quick enough to leap aside. The killing curse hit him hard, and he stumbled back.

But Voldemort wasn't dead.

Harry wasted no time and cast: "IMPEDIMENTA!".

Voldemort, who was recovering from the shock of Harry's killing curse, failed to notice the next spell. It hit him full in the chest and sent the Dark Lord flying. The force of the spell was so powerful due to Harry's anger, and normally a spell such as that would have no effect on Voldemort but it did.

The power of Harry's anger hurtled Voldemort into the air and through the Veil opening which was swiftly closing. And then Harry, as blackness began to claim him, used his anger to shut the doorway. He didn't know whether Voldemort was gone or not, because then he fell to the floor, exhausted, and fainted.

Harry woke as if from a dream. He was laying in a bed, covers all over him, his glasses were not on him. He blinked.

"Here, Mr Potter." Someone handed him his glasses.

Harry slid them eagerly onto his face.

Albus Dumbledore stood above him, his gray beard twinkling in the sun that seeped through the window.

The events of what had happened sought there way into Harry's mind. He felt ill. Sirius. He was dead. And Harry had killed him.

"I'm sorry, Harry." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Is he really gone?" Harry asked. "Sirius and Voldemort?"

Dumbledore nodded. "They have."

Harry felt his throat go dry. "Why? Why did Sirius have to die?"

"He chose to Harry. He choose for you to live. If Sirius had not taken the killing curse then you would've died. Voldemort would have won. He did it to save you. But by doing so it enabled you to defeat Voldemort and destroy him forever."

Harry nodded numbly. "I can't believe how I did it though."

"Perhaps I can explain." Dumbledore said.

Harry sat up in bed.

"Voldemort fell through the Veil he came through. It began to close because Voldemort stopped concentrating on it. He thought he could destroy you. He risked everything by allowing that to happen. Your anger came to the front when Sirius was killed. Your anger, fuelled by your love for your parents and Godfather, as well as your magical abilities, increased this anger. It was uncontrollable. The world of the spirits felt your anger and fed upon it, keeping the doorway open. You cast the Avada Kedavra on Voldemort which weakened his defences. He was unprepared for your anger and didn't have time to react. Casting Impedimenta killed him. The force of your spell sent him into the doorway. The spirits closed the doorway as you fought to do so. Voldemort did not use his power as Slytherin's Heir to save himself. He did not realise that you held the amount of power as you did. Voldemort is now trapped forever in the world of the dead. He cannot escape. He is gone."

"It's over then. The war is over?" Harry said.

"Yes. The Death Eaters who were involved in the attack, have been rounded up and sentenced to death. No more evil can harm you, Harry." Dumbledore reached over to his side and handed Harry a mirror. "Look in to it."

Harry did so. The scar that had always been so prominent on his forehead had faded. It no longer was noticeable, save a white patch of where it had been. "My scar! It's gone!"

"Yes. That is how we know Voldemort is dead, mainly because you no longer have the scar. There is no more need it to be on your head as your connection to Voldemort is gone."

Harry grinned. He was alive. He had survived. "Do the others know?"

"Yes. The whole school as well as the Wizarding World knows. You have been unconscious for a week. The scar has faded in that time. Everyone has come to see you, save for the Slytherins. I'm afraid that as long as there are Slytherins around there will always be a Dark Lord, but one that is not as powerful as Tom Marvolo Riddle."

Harry nodded. Then a though struck him. "Professor? Will I be able to see Sirius again? I mean through the Veil? I see my parents so can I see him?"

"It would depend on whether he is counted as being part of your family. Perhaps Harry, you should go through and see, but only when you are well. I suggest you rest. You've heard enough. I do not want to burden you anymore."

Then with that Harry fell asleep, feeling a bit happier, knowing that he had defeated Voldemort, but also he had the chance of seeing Sirius again if he went through the Veil.

Harry found it difficult to settle into life after the attack and Sirius' death. Lupin had attempted to go about as normal but even Harry could see that he was suffering. Everyday Harry was faced with a world without Sirius. It was the end of fifth year all over again. He wished he could've done something.

Students saw him as a hero and worshipped him in a manner that got him annoyed. Letters from fans came to him practically everyday and Harry had to hold a conference with the Ministry as to how he had fought and escaped Voldemort so many times. Soon the whole Wizarding world knew the details of Voldemort's demise.

Harry was famous again. But all he wanted was to have Sirius back.

The end of the year faded coming to an abrupt end. Harry passed all his N.E.W.Ts for he got his results on the last day of term when he graduated. He got top marks in all of his tests as did Hermione. They came top of the school.

To Harry's disappointment, Draco Malfoy passed as well. Everyone in seventh year got reasonable results. Neville had improved greatly. He came fifth in the year, which he was pleasantly pleased with.

Harry, Ron and Hermione received rewards for their services to the school. Harry was given a Merlin Award of 1st Class making him on par with Dumbledore.

Yet he was not happy.

And Harry had the feeling he would never be happy again.

He stood outside the Veil wondering what to do. He had come here to see Sirius. Since leaving Hogwarts, Harry had wondered what to do. Did he really want to go through the Veil? Bonnie stood beside him. She laid a hand on his shoulder. Bonnie and Harry were now officially a couple, and they were living in a small flat together in London.

It was a month since Harry had graduated. He would be eighteen in a week. He had hardly used magic in that time. Now all he had to do was get advice. He didn't want to speak to Dumbledore.

Breathing in, and settling his memory into a happy time, he stepped into the Veil, leaving Bonnie.

As usual James and Lily were standing there. They were smiling lightly. Beside them was another figure. It was Sirius. The ghostly form of his Godfather was there. Harry had hoped he would be.

"Harry," Lily, whispered, "my son. We never thought you'd survive, but we are glad you prevailed."

"I'm so glad to see you together. You deserve to be." Harry said.

James smiled. "Harry, even in death we are always there for you. We watched over everyone we loved. We knew Peter wasn't dead or he'd be here. At least he reformed to help you. We forgive him for that."

"I don't," Harry muttered, "I blame him for everything. I want my parents back."

"We are always here for you Harry," James said, "Padfoot too."

The ghostly form of Sirius nodded.

Harry smiled lightly. "I won't be coming here anymore."

The smiles faded. "Why not?" Sirius asked.

"Because I'm leaving the magic world. I won't nothing to do with it. Too much has happened to me because of it. I'm giving up magic to live with Bonnie as a Muggle. She is a Muggle, so it suits her. I've discussed it with her, and I think it is for the best. Maybe one of these days I will return," Harry sighed, "but I don't know."

"We want you to be happy." Lily murmured.

"It is the path I've chosen. Maybe I will be happy this way, I don't know. I won't forget you though." Harry promised. "I just want a normal life. A life without troubles. I can have that."

James stepped forward. "If you ever have need of us, we'll be waiting for you. We'll always be here for you."

"I know." Harry hated this. Tears fell down his cheeks and as he turned away, he felt that he was doing something very wrong indeed. "I'm sorry," and then he returned to the living world.

Ron and Hermione sat with Harry in his living room. They couldn't bear to think that there friend would not be having anything to do with the magic world. But they understood which Harry was grateful for.

"You've been great friends, but I can't bear the pain I have inside me. I'm sorry, but this is my path. If I ever come back, I will come and see you."

The two friends left.

Harry and Bonnie put all of Harry's magical stuff in several boxes and put them under the floorboards. Albus Dumbledore arrived and put a powerful spell on the floorboards so that Harry couldn't get in to them.

Harry's past was closed forever. He was not a Wizard, but a Muggle.

Magic was no longer a part of his life.

Bonnie was his future, and she was.

The End

I hope the explanation was good enough and the ending was okay. There is a SEQUEL! and details can be found after Review Responses if your interested!

Review Responses:

Phoenix Friend: I hope the reasons in the chapter were good enough for you!

Got-lotr: I'm afraid it is 'yes'.

Galadriel Evenstar: Why isn't there a reason good enough? I did give a reason but you don't have to agree with it though.

LunaShadows: Well, here is the explanation. I hope it satisfies you. I hope you enjoyed the final chapter!

Phoenixtears: I'm glad you're back! Computers are so EVIL!!! Yeah, Harry had to leave Bonnie, unfortunately. I did find that writing this chapter and the last was difficult because I had to try and show how much Sirius cared for Harry to throw away his own life. I hope you liked the climax!

Saphire Starlet: Hi Serry! Yep, I killed Sirius. I'm just plain evil. I think the explanation is good. Tell me what you think!

On to a brighter note, will you upload your stories again? I was really annoyed that took you off. Really unfair. Anyway...I hope you'll stick around for the sequel that is coming very soon...

After Hogwarts: The Tale of Harry Potter

Summary: Voldemort is gone forever. Harry tries to piece his life back together. Turning his back on the Wizarding World, Harry settles down with Bonnie. Yet will Harry rejoin the world he yearns for when his children show signs of magic? Or will he keep the biggest secret of their lives from them?

This story is exploring Harry's life after 'His Last Year'. It will focuses on the relationship of Harry and Bonnie, and later on show about the development of their children and the choices they make in their life. Old favourites will return. There is not really a plot but it is mainly a character study in a sense.

However I will not be able to post this until mid-November at the earliest. I've got a math's retake exam coming up in two-three weeks and if I pass I won't have to do Maths ever again! So I'll be concentrating on that.

I also want to finish my other 'Harry Potter' story: From Time to Time which is a time-travel fic. So until I finish that I won't post the sequel to this. I'm terribly sorry about this, but I do think my education is far more important at this stage in my life. I hope you all understand and will look out for the sequel in the coming months.
