Chapter 17
Hermione ducked and stared at the two.
"Hermione! Ron is under the imperious curse! Voldemort placed him under it! Voldemort ran! I don't know where! Ron has gone mental! Don't try to hurt him! He is still Ron!" Harry shouted cautiously.
Hermione thought of the only way to bring Ron back. There was no spell to break it. Ron had to break it himself with will power. Will power she knew he didn't posses.
"Harry what do we do?" Hermione said as Ron looked from Harry to Hermione laughing his head off.
"I'm sorry Ron…" Harry trailed off.
"Petrificus Totalus!" he shouted, his wand pointing at Ron.
Ron froze and fell to the ground.
"Ron!?! Harry! What in bloody hell did you do to Ron?!?" they heard Luna shout.
"Luna!" Hermione shouted exasperatedly.
"Please take care of him. There is no time to explain!" Harry told Luna.
"Harry! Voldemort's running off! He's headed to that clearing!" Hermione shouted, her eyes following the hooded creature.
Harry ran after him with Hermione following from behind.
"Voldemort!" Harry shouted.
"Ah… we meet again Harry Potter." Voldemort hissed looking back at Harry.
"Let's finish this!" Harry growled.
"Very well. Bow to your end Potter." Voldemort instructed.
Harry and Voldemort bowed simultaneously.
"Confidenstious Choatus!" Voldemort screamed.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry shouted.
The two spells hit each other and disappeared.
"Crucio!" Voldemort screamed.
"Stupefy!" Harry shouted.
The spells mingled with each other and went towards Harry. Harry dodged them
"Expelliarmus!" Hermione shouted suddenly.
Voldemort lost his wand.
Hermione caught it.
"Insolent Girl." He hissed. After a while he laughed.
"Well, time to show you my surprise!" he laughed.
Voldemort turned into a creature unrecognizable.
His back suddenly grew large phoenix wings! His arms turned into different kinds of snakes all writhing about. His body turned into a huge Hungarian Horntail! All in its scaly and scary tremor.
"Bloody Hell…" Hermione trailed off.
"Hahahahaha…" Voldemort laughed.
"I'm still not afraid of you!" Harry shouted letting not a trace of shock or fear enter his emerald green eyes.
"Well you should be!" Voldemort hissed.
"I am not!" Harry shouted.
"Fine. Try your best spells. You will never affect me! My dragon hide is too thick and magical to penetrate!" Voldemort laughed again.
"Oh yeah? Let's test that theory." Harry said calmly.
Harry suddenly got an idea and called for his firebolt. It came rushing towards him. He mounted it and kicked off.
"Quidditch Potter? How childish!" He laughed.
Harry started circling Voldemort. Voldemort sent jets of fire at Harry but he dodged it.
He sent his snakes at Harry and one got very close to biting Harry's head off.
Harry was a little taken aback by this but did not let it show. He suddenly pointed his wand to the sky and said,
"Winzemion Coldapilus!" he shouted.
It started snowing around Voldemort.
Hermione was confused at first but realized something.
Voldemort turned into a third dragon and a third snake! He was mostly a cold blooded creature! They can never withstand cold! They usually hibernated!
Voldemort went rigid. The once huge phoenix wings disappeared slowly. The raging head of the dragon stopped blowing fire and its scales turned blue with cold. The snakes writhing out of his shoulders retreated and disappeared. Finally, the transformation was complete. Voldemort lay writhing on the ground.
"Hermione, give him back his wand." Harry instructed determinedly.
"Are you crazy?" Hermione shouted.
"Just do it!" Harry ordered quite angered.
Hermione had never seen him so angered. Not even to Professor Umbridge! She didn't understand but she did as she was told and threw back Voldemort's' wand.
"I don't want to be in favor of the odds Voldemort. I want an even duel. You can no longer transform. I think we are even with your wand." Harry told Voldemort as You-know-who picked up his wand once again.
They restarted the duel and bowed again.
"Crucio!" Voldemort shouted.
"Stupefy!" Harry countered.
Harry was too late once again. The Crucio curse was hurtling towards him. Knowing that Voldemort would most likely kill Harry right after Harry was on the ground, Harry stood prepared.
'No! I need to help! Portimadible Silentious Ignatious!' Hermione thought.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone went in the way and got hit by the spell instead.
Voldemort was surprised and began casting a spell at the figure on the ground. Harry took the opportunity to cast his final spell.
"Avada Kedavra!" he shouted.
The blinding green light appeared once more and Voldemort dropped to the ground dead.
The light has won.
