"So now is when your life comes to an end." Voldemort said as he approached Harry.
Harry tried to duck as Voldemort sent the torture spell at him, but because of Harry's slowness he was unable to move fast enough and the spell hit him and spent him reeling in pain. As he thrashed, (in slow motion), his hand hit his pocket where the speed potion lay. It broke and he found himself speeding up to normal speed, the potion had equaled out the first potion and as Voldemort raised his wand releasing him, Harry dug into his pocket and threw the last potion at Voldemort.
The explosive potion hit Voldemort in the chest and blew up sending him flying backward. Harry used the opportunity to regain his feet and sent a stunning spell at Voldemort.
Voldemort was getting up from the ground but he lost his footing and fell back again and Harry's spell flew over his head. Voldemort managed to get his feet up under him and he stood facing Harry.
"Too weak to use the killing curse Harry?" Voldemort taunted him, "Afraid your mummy won't like it?"
"Leave her out of this." Harry spat back through clenched teeth.
"Why? She would still be alive if she had given you up, you would be dead then without her love to protect you. I remember when I went to kill you, she was pleading at me to take her instead of you." Voldemort laughed, "She was too weak to fight me she just begged me for your life."
Harry's face grew red in anger as he listened to Voldemort recount the death of his parents. "She was not weak and neither am I." He yelled at Voldemort.
"Prove it." Voldemort responded, "Look I'll even give you a clean shot." Voldemort stopped moving and stood motionless, "Go on, I dare you."
Harry raised his wand his hand shaking, 'Just do it.' He told himself, 'It's what needs to be done.' But still he hesitated, he was not a killer and he had didn't want to become one.
Voldemort laughed again as Harry lowered his wand, "A coward it must run in the family."
That was it, Harry raised his wand again and sent a force of energy at Voldemort. He hadn't used a spell, but his anger had been forced out through his wand.
Voldemort flew into the surrounding trees with a crash. Moments later he walked out again, "Well, that still won't kill me Harry, only one thing will. You have to become a killer just like me." Voldemort said grinning.
Then Voldemort tripped. A tree root was protruding out of the ground and Voldemort's foot caught on it and he fell. When Voldemort hit the ground he lay still.
Harry waited, two minutes, four minutes, finally after ten minutes Harry cautiously approached Voldemort and turned him over. Blood dribbled out of the corner of Voldemort's mouth, his eyes were staring blankly into space, and a pointed stick was protruding from his chest.
And that's how the Dark Lord died, no famous last words, no final victims, and no drama. He simply tripped and fell onto a stick pointing out of the ground. Harry looked at the stick embedded in Voldemort's chest, "You were wrong," Harry told Voldemort's lifeless body, "I'm not a killer and I never will be."
Then Harry closed Voldemort's eyes and walked away. The way Voldemort had died didn't surprise Harry, if anything it seemed fitting, Voldemort had caused so much destruction to the world, it only seemed fair that nature had the last word.
As Harry walked back toward his friends a shock wave knocked him flat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leo!" Phoebe yelled echoing her sister.
"Leo's not coming, Phoebe, I think we're supposed to figure this one out alone." Piper said.
"How?" Phoebe asked, "We're not going to kill her, we can't."
"I know Phoebe, I know." Piper answered.
Piper looked back down at Paige, she was shivering and all the color had drained from her face.
Then Paige's eyes snapped open, "Kill…me." She whispered and then her eyes changed to black.
"Paige no!" Piper yelled but what she said meant nothing.
"Hello witches." Paige said pushing them away from her and standing up, "I look forward to a visit from you later, unfortunately right now I have to go." With that she disappeared in flames and a shock wave emitted from where she had been standing throwing them away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry quickly pulled himself up and limped over to his friends. Whatever had caused the blast had knocked them out, but he had been far enough from the blast to refrain from suffering the same fate as the others. Looking around he noticed Paige was missing.
Harry had been looking for Paige for about ten minutes when he heard Piper's voice.
"You won't find her, she's not here."
Harry rushed over to her and helped her sit up.
"What do you mean? Did a demon get her?" Harry started asking Piper questions.
"Not now Harry, let's get everyone back home first." Piper responded.
"Leo!" She yelled and this time her call was answered.
Leo healed everyone and then turned to Piper and Phoebe, "They wouldn't let me come, I wanted to but they forced me to stay away, I'm so sorry." Leo looked down.
"Let's just get home for now Leo." Piper said. Leo nodded and an orb later they found themselves in the Manor's living room.
Once everyone was seated Piper and Phoebe began to explain what had happened to Paige.
