Coming Silence

Ch: 18

Disclaimer: Still not mine, except all demons and Alenzar, Reality Rip, etc….

"Still too slow, Harry," hissed the one person outside of Voldemort Harry hated with a passion.

"Tolmet, fancy seeing you here. I should have known. Oh, wait, I did."

Before Tolmet could respond Harry swung his sword with all his might. The gleaming blade ripped into the lizards side, blood dripping down to pool on the ground below. The sun slowly set in a blaze of orange and red making the whole grounds look like burnished gold.

Harry tugged his sword out of Tolmet opened his mouth to release a burning ball of fire. Harry dogged to the left, the fire ball grazing his side. He felt no pain as he swung his sword. This time, a line of fire split through the air towards the lizard. Caught unprepared, Harry was tossed to the ground from the unexpected attack.

"Shit! I didn't think the sword would do that!"

"You will pay for that!" screamed Tolmet, his eyes glowing yellow in rage. His lizard body was burnt down the right side, the only side that had taken the fire attack.

The lizard launched himself at Harry knocking both back onto the ground. Claws slashed across Harry's face and he could feel the blood start to drip down his face. The sword was knocked to the side as Harry tried to raise it.

"You son of a bitch-GET OFF ME!"

Harry pulled his feet up and planted them under Tolmet's stomach. Using all his strength, he kicked Tolmet off him. He quickly vaulted to his feet and jumped onto Tolmet. Harry sunk his claws deep into the lizards throat, ignoring the claws that sunk into his side. He dug and dug until he felt the traitors spine. Closing his hand around the bone, he pulled it strait out with a wet snap. Blood flew everywhere as he threw the spine into the night.

"Your death is befit of a traitor, Tolmet. May you never find peace."

Harry dropped the Tolmet's carcass and snatched his sword from the ground. All around him spells were thrown left and right, lighting up the darkness. Harry scanned those still standing, trying to look for Severus. What he saw instead made him freeze in horror.

Sirius had one dagger in his hand and his wand in the other, battling with one dark robbed death eater. What Sirius didn't see was the one who had turned to face Sirius's unprotected back. Harry watched in horror as the death slowly raised his wand.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Harry raised his sword and, as if guided by some unseen hand, swung in the death eaters direction.

As the sword reached its farthest point in the swing, three lines of red lightning raced across the distance, swatting down all death eaters that stood in the way. Harry watched as the lightning his the cowardly death eater and stood unmoving as his screams of pain rent the air and red lighting danced through his body. Harry felt nothing as he watched the man die. After all, you don't mess with Harry's family.

"I didn't know you did that, either."

Harry gathered his senses and ran across the open ground, killing any death eaters that stood in the way. The death eaters weren't sparing any lives, so neither would Harry.

Harry spotted a head of blond hair and made his way over to it.

"Draco," the other boy glanced over before looking back into the fray. "Have you seen Sev?"

"No, not yet. I did see him earlier but then I lost him. Don't worry, Sev can take care of himself."

"That's not what I'm worried about," Harry shrugged. "You holding up?"

"I'm well enough. Don't tell anyone I'm down here. I'm suppose to be with the others, guarding Hogwarts entrance."

Harry smiled. And they said he had a problem with breaking the rules.

"My lips are sealed. Hey, drink this," he reached into his pockets and pulled out a bright yellow potion.

Draco eyed the potion wearily. "No offense, Harry, but I am not drinking anything that glows in the dark."

Harry rolled his eyes. Stubborn blonds. "It's a healing potion from Alenzar. It heals not only wounds, but fatigue and replenishes magical energy. Come on, I know you need it."

Draco reluctantly took the bottle. "If it kills me, I will come back to haunt you, understand?"

"Understand."

Draco popped the top and tossed back the potion, making a surprised face as the cooling liquid spread through his body.

"Hey, that doesn't taste bad."

"I know. Now, stay safe, I need to find Severus."

Harry stood to make his way across the darkened field but stopped at the sound of Draco's serious voice.

"Harry, if you see my father, do me a favor-kill him."

Before Harry could respond, the blond ducked into the night.

Harry shrugged it off and ran. He could feel something wasn't right. Where was his people? All around him the good guys were slowly falling, as the death eaters seemed to multiply. Harry sliced his way through a small group and shot off a few immobilizing spells at some of the others. As Harry stumbled around the side of the lake, he saw them. Voldemort-and Severus.

"No, not him!"

Harry let all the restraints he kept on his body go and he sped off, faster than the wind, to reach his love. Just as he got near enough, Voldemort raised his wand. A purple light smashed into Severus's body. Harry watched in horror as the older mans body slowly fell to the ground.

"No, not Severus."

Harry dashed to his body. Seeing Severus still alive, but badly injured, Harry cradled Severus to his chest. Blood was slowly draining out of Severus's mouth and down his chin. Harry knew this was bad-very bad.

Voldemort was all but forgotten in face of this new tragedy.

"Sev, baby, can you hear me? Please don't leave me.."

"Harry? I'm sorry, I didn't protect you ."

"Don't talk like that, I know you did everything you could. You've always protected me, since first year."

"You always were a rule breaking brat…"

Harry smiled, tears filling his eyes. Through their bond, he could feel Severus slipping away.

"Don't cry for me Harry. Just kill….kill Voldemort. Only-only you can do this."

"No, you can't leave me alone, Sev. We're suppose to have tons of children with your hair and brains with my eyes. You can't die on me!"

Voldemort slowly crept closer to the pair, unnoticed. His long fingers drew out his yew wand and pointed it at the pair. In the background, the sound of roars and renewed fighting filled the air. It seems the demons had arrived. He would have to rid the world of these two soon and quickly.

"Harry," gasped Severus, blood pooling around them. "I want you t-to know….You brought me p-p-peace….I love you. Always."

Harry kissed him on last time as the man he loved slowly faded away. His tears fell on that pale face he fell in love with so long ago. His love, his life.

"Well, Potter," said Voldemort, "Seems this time you die."

Harry stiffened. This was the man who killed his parents, who killed so many people in his own world, who took away the one person he loved above anything. Frankly-this man was going to die.

"You," Harry gasped, his voice so cold and filled with rage that Voldemort took a step back. "You killed him. You KILLED HIM!"

His rage took over as light filled the sky. Anything with in a ten mile radius was dead. All Harry remembered was the light-then the world exploded.

AN: Sorry about the long update. One hell of a cliffe I know. And no SEV IS COMING BACK! I'm not that heartless-well, maybe I am. Anyway, tomorrow I GRADUATE! So, don't expect another update for a few weeks. Until next time!

Cheers
