Chapter 8: The Biggest loss
Back to Dumbledore's Office
After Harry's sudden outburst, Dumbledore called Snape and told him to get the Polyjuice Potion. Snape came back minutes later, gave the potion to Dumbledore, then immediately left. Dumbledore then added Harry's hair, drank it, and began to speak as he changed into Harry, "Alright, I'll go now but...um Harry can I borrow some of your robes?" The Headmasters clothes were a little big for the form of Harry. "Oh, yeah," said Harry as he conjured up a set of robes and handed them to Dumbledore. "Thank you," said Dumbledore. He then waved his wand and he was in the robes Harry gave him. "I'll send Hermione up here... take care," said Dumbledore as he left the room. "Take care?" said Ron. "What's that supposed to mean?" asked Ron with a puzzled look on his face.
Dumbledore's P.O.V.
Dumbledore went out of the castle and towards the Womping Willow. There was a stick laying there that we picked up and prodded the patch on the tree with. It immediately froze and allowed Dumbledore to go through the tunnel untouched. He cautiously went through the tunnel anticipating what lay on the other end.
Then he realized he must do something before he went, so he pulled out a parchment, conjured up a quill, quickly scribbled something down, signed it, and called Fawkes, who took the letter sadly and flew off. Dumbledore then continued down the passage, ready for the challenges that lie ahead.
At the end of the tunnel he saw two Death Eaters, and as soon as they saw him they ran up the stairs, obviously they think he's Harry. So he followed them up the stairs, and when he came to the door the Death Eaters went through he heard on of them sawing, "Master!!! Master!!! He's here!"
Hermione's P.O.V.
Oh no, please make it not be Harry! Hermione thought desperately. Voldomort grinned evilly, "Send him in! And make sure he's alone," ordered Voldomort. The Death Eater left and came back. And to Hermione's horror, Harry was at his side, not looking the slightest bit scared. "Hello Voldomort, where's Hermione?" was the first thing Harry said.
Voldomort motioned to where Hermione was Hermione was standing. "Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked with concern in his voice. "Yes, but didn't Nicollette tell you not to come?" said Hermione. "Yes, but do you honestly think that I'll listen to Nicollette when your life is at stake?" replied Harry. "How touching," said Voldomort coldly. "Now let me just kill you Potter so Hermione here can go run to Dumbledore," said Voldomort. "No!" yelled Hermione at once, she wouldn't be able to live if she was the one to whiteness Harry's death. But before Harry could defend himself Voldomort raised his wand and shouted, "Avada Kedavra!"
A jet of green light came from Voldomort's wand and hit Harry in the chest. Harry fell onto the floor with his head facing Hermione. And upon seeing the shocked face that Harry wore she knew instantly that Harry was dead.
"No, no, no, no, no!" whimpered Hermione. "Yes, yes, yes! I have finally done it!" said Voldomort with pleasure. "Now lets send you and Potter to Dumbledore's office," sad Voldomort, he was clearly enjoying it. Voldomort then made a portkey, grabbed Harry, put Harry's hand in hers, and gave her the portkey while waving bye. Once again Hermione felt a jolt and she was on her way to Dumbledore's office.
Harry's P.O.V.
Harry, Ron, Nicollette, Andrea, Ashley, and McGonagall all waited in Dumbledore's office waiting for Dumbledore to return with Hermione. Suddenly, Hermione appeared holding a limp body at her side. She was crying hysterically. "Hermione! I'm so glad your okay!" yelled Harry at once. Hermione stood frozen to the spot, she couldn't believe it! Harry was standing in front of her yet he was dead on the floor next to her. Harry then saw his body on the floor and screamed, "Dumbledore! Oh no, please don't be dead!" Harry launched himself forward and sat next to the limp form of Harry. Just then the body started to change as Harry and Ron did in their 2nd year. But this time it turned to Dumbledore.
"Albus, wake up!" yelled McGonagall with a worried expression. Hermione released Dumbledore's hand in shock. "Oh my god!" yelled Hermione, then her face saddened, "He's dead Professor I saw V-Voldemort us the course." Then Fawkes swooped in through the window and landed on Harry's shoulder. He had a letter attached to his leg, Harry took it from him and upon seeing Dumbledore's handwriting he ripped it open.

Goodbye everyone,
Albus Dumbledore
At the end of this letter McGonagall and Hermione were in tears, Harry even felt a tear trickle down his cheek. Dumbledore is dead, thought Harry. Now what are we going to do without Dumbledore? Harry asked himself. Then Fawkes started singing but it was not a happy song, it was full of sadness and sorrow. Wait a second; Dumbledore left most of his things to me, including Hogwarts and Fawkes! Thought Harry. He was amazed at how much trust and loyalty Dumbledore had in him, and although Dumbledore told him not to he surely would grieve over his friend. No not only was Dumbledore his friend, he was his family and the thought of loosing another family member made Harry's hart throb in pain and sorrow.
