People were still coming out of the castle, running to all sides. harry stoof for a few moments, looking for Hermione. He couldn't see her around the grounds and he didn't know what to do. 'I lost Hermione' he thought to himself 'where did she go?'. Someone pushed into him bringing him back to reality. He had to fight. he had to find Hermione, he would find her once he had killed the reason he hadn't been able to confess his love and maybe even get it returned.
He plunged into the crowd heading to the center of the knot of students, teachers and order members, it was his position. He didn't see anyone he was close to, he was surrounded by mostly 7th years and a few 6th years. He didn't have time to dwell on it because he had to be ready. He poised his wand, he was ready to strike.
Beams of light went shooting to every side as the kluster began approaching the light that had finally dimmed slightly. The Death Eaters were firing curses and spell, jinxes and pure magic in every direction.
"protegio!" Harry yelled as a beam of light flew towards him and his surrounding allies.
"Ennervate!"Harry heard someone yell
Spells were all around him, he couldn't make out anything. He was feeling crowded and stuffy, he had no space to move or breath, he couldn't even see the enemy only their spells when they came close. There were screaming voices. Still the cold icy, evil laugh rang loudly over everything.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHh" Harry heard a girl scream, to him she sounded very much like Ginny but he couldn't be sure, he had to focus.
"Crucio!" yelled a drawling man's voice and a 7th year a few feet away from Harry fell to the ground twitching and screaming in pain.
'Lucius Malfoy' thought Harry, 'I'll get him! He'll get what he asked for...' While he was mentally ranting on he had fired quite a few spells, succesfully hitting and disabling 10 death Eaters. The spells weren't made to kill, Harry's power was strong, uncontrolled... he might have killed afew. Three enemies were on his 'must kill' list :
-Voldemort
-Bellatrix Lestrange
-Lucius Malfoy
Harry ducked, dodged, shot and saw spells for hours. He saw many people fall, many people that he would never see again. He still hadn't seen Hermione, the one person he prayed to god wasn't hurt above all others. He knew she was strong but could she stand a chance against wizards and witches like Voldemort? He looked everywhere he could but did not see the bushy haired girl he had grown to love. The sky was dark, a mix of purple, black, red and green; many dark marks poluted the once lovely skies. Fires litered the ground along with bodies, the smell of death surrounded the duellers and a dull grey smoke hid the envirement around them. Trees were no longer visible nor were montains. The laughter still rang out sometimes but the scar on Harry's forehead had yet to burst into head-splitting pain. He saw many students duelling with death-eaters, thankful that the younger students were in the castle in a room hidden away deep in the headmasters office. He knew he was still far away from Voldemort far from the end of the war. "Well isn't it wittle baby Potter!" A female voice rang out to his left.
"It's about time you seek me out Lestrange" he answered coldly.
"Oh! Is wittle Potter still mad because i kiwwed his godfather?"she mocked again in her horrible baby voice
"Dare to find out?"he challenged.
"Oh lets try it"she said now serious
Harry pulled his wand higher up and directly at her face. She did the same although she didn't seemed focused, like she knew she'd win hands down.
"Dolore" he said as an electric blue beam of light shot from his wand towards her.
"protezione" she yelled loudly.
"omicidio" he yelled and a light of all colors and shapes flew towards her "Thats less than you deserve" he told Bellatrix's dead body. "You deserved to feel endless pain"
He kept going on his way he looked for his other targets and quickly found one, he had found a man that had made his wizarding life hell, a man who had ruined the lives of many of his friends early on...Lucius Malfoy.
"Malfoy! Just the man I wanted to see" He spoke as he found the father of one of his rivals.
"Oh Potter, come to turn yourself in?" he asked in a drawl.
"Quite the opposite, I'm here to kill" he said threateningly.
Both men raised their wands, ready to fight. Harry wasn't the first to fire a spell.
"Crucio" spat Malfoy.
"protezione" yelled Harry.
"Avadra Kedavra" Malfoy yelled and Harry dodged the fatal green light.
"Omicidio" Harry shot now and watched as Malfoy dodged that spell just as he had.
"Avadra Kedavra" Malfoy yelled at the same time Harry yelled "dolore" again. Malfoy jumped out of the way and tried to dissapparate.
"Whats going on?" he spat out at Harry "what have you done to me boy?" Harry thought back to what Hermione had been telling him and Ron for years
"you can't apparate or dissapparate on Hogwarts grounds, haven't you ever read Hogwarts: A History?" he laughed cruelly and shot another spell "Omicidio" The sound of death flew towards Malfoy and hit him square in the chest. He fell to the ground dead before he hit it.
Harry smiled, he had killed two people from his list, he couldn't feel guilty only two things were on his mind 'find Hermione, Kill Voldemort' (notice the order?) He walked on eager to find someone who had seen her, or Voldemort so he could put an end to all this.
"Crucio" Harry heard someone yell somewhere on his right, he turned and ran towards to sound of a masculine voice screaming in pain. He heard the first voice throw a stabbing spell at the screaming man and then more screaming he found a deatheater standint over a body with a heada of red hair, which of the Weasleys it was he couldn't tell.
"Omicidio" he yelled at the figure in black and he fell to the floor merely inconscious, he had learned how to control his power and one spell could always have more than one use with him. He unmasked the man and bound him in magic ropes. This man wouldn't be free until Harry either allowed him to or was dead. He now turned to the bleeding Weasley and approched him. He knelt down and saw that it was Ron, his brother, his best-friend.
"Ron? Ron are you alright?" he asked the bleeding boy who was moving slightly and wasn't breathing regularily.
"Ha-harry?" Ron croaked out in a groggy voice.
"Yes Ron it's me...Are you alright? where did the spell hit you?"he asked trying not to show his friend the panic that had over-taken his body.
"I dunno it just hurts" was the reply. Harry looked Ron's body up and down and saw that the most blood was coming from his stomach area. he lifted up his bestfriends t-shirt and gasped at what he saw, Blood was pourring out of a gash of five inches length and it looked like 3 inches wide.many other cuts were all over his body but this was definetly the one threatening his life. "Harry I think I'm going to die" Ron said a single tear running down his cheek.
" It's Ok Ron, you won't be alone" he tried to calm his friend "I'll try to heal it ok?" he asked
"Ok" Ron said before coughing up some blood and making his cut spew blood as well.
"guar"Harry said as he pointed his wand at Ron's stomach. a feeble blue light hit the cut and some blood went away but it kept on pourring 'Damn, Hermione was always better at healing then I was' Harry thought before trying again.
"Harry did it--it--work?" Ron wispered
"Not yet Ron..I'll try again" he said saddly "guar" again nothing happened but the removal of some blood.
Harry tried a dozen times and nothing really happened, Ron was getting weaker and Harry could tell he wasn't going to make it. As much as he hated to do it he had to get Ron to relax and tell him goodbye.
"Ron?" he asked the boy on the ground.
"Harry. this is it isn't it?" Ron asked another tear running down his face.
"I think so Ron. I'm sorry about this it's-" Harry was saying but was cut off by Ron's small voice.
"Don't even say it Harry, it's not your fault. You aren't the one to blame for th-this war, It's Voldemort" Harry smiled slightly, it had been the first time ever that Ron had said Voldemorts name and he hadn't even hesitated, needless to say Harry was proud.
"Ron, watch over Hermione for me OK?" Harry asked saddly.
"What? You-- you mean she -she died" Ron said looking horrified.
"Oh no, I don't think so, I just haven't seen her all throught the past few hours..." he trailed off
Ron wheezed a deep breath, "Did you tell her?" he asked with a shy smile
"I was about to when all this started" he said sadly
"She's fine you know Harry." Ron said seeing his bestfriends sad expression "she's strong, she can take care of herself. Besides I saw her a while ago healing someone and fighting someone else at the same time, she came out of that alright...she can do anything" Ron smiled. Harry did the same, it didn't matter what was going on around them, the different spells flying around the smoke that was in the air and the burning fires around them. Hermione was OK which meant Harry just had to finish his battle to get to see her again.
"Harry, remember the good times with me. Remember we were like brothers. Remember that in a brotherly, totally friends -only way I love you" Ron said with a smile and lay back down on the ground, he closed his eyes for a moment and openned them again, "harry promis me that you'll tell her you love her...no matter what" he said beggingly.
"Of course Ron, anything for you. My friend, my brother and you remember that I love you too. Kepp my parents company, I'll join you"
"Not too soon I hope" Ron said and closed his eyes for the last time "Bye Harry, bye world" Ron said with his last breath.
Harry sat with Ron's body next to him for a long time before finally getting up to finish his list. He was going to finish this war and win just so he could fulfill the promis he made to Ron.
