The End

Chapter 38: ...Fulfilled

Neve punched Tommy in the side. She winced as she did it. By now, both looked as if they had been in a boxing match. They were standing directly in front of the door. They heard a rumbling sound and looked at each other.

"What the hell is that?" Neve asked. Tommy shrugged and turned around to look at the door. Between the cracks, he saw a purple light. The door bulged. Tommy's eyes widened. The door exploded outwards, sending Tommy and Neve flying.

Ron shielded Hermione as dust, rock, and wood flew everywhere. When the shaking stopped, Ron looked up. There was dust everywhere. No one was in sight. The entire hallway was practically demolished. He heard Hermione moan underneath him.

"Ron?" She whispered. Ron sat up off of her, still holding her wound. Hermione sat up slowly, taking in the destruction around her. "Is everyone..." She whispered. She found she could not finish her sentence. Ron hugged her and continued trying to see in the dust. A cough was heard across the room. Ron's head turned to the side. He saw movement. Suddenly, a platinum blond boy sat up, coughing out dust particles. Ron had never in his life been so happy to see Draco.

Draco stood up, coughing like crazy in all the dust. He saw Lina and Rina on the ground, not moving. There was destruction all around him. He stumbled over to the twins to see if they were okay.

"Hey. Lina? Rina?" He shook both of them. Lina moaned and opened her eyes. She looked up at Draco. Draco coughed and smiled down at her. She sat up, rubbing her neck.

"What happened?" She asked. Rina moved beside her and she sat up as well. Draco shrugged and continued looking around.

"I just remember Zaviera shooting something at us. I guess it wore off. I woke up and everything looked like this." He said. Aislin moved up beside him.

"How are you three?" She asked. They all nodded. Rina pointed to her nose. With a wave of her wand, Aislin healed it. "That should make it easier on you until Madam Pomfrey or I can do a complete job. Chiarire." She said, holding her wand out. The dust swirled and was sucked into the tip of her wand. Everyone gasped at what they saw.

Bodies were everywhere. Dead Death Eaters were on the ground. Broken wood and stone littered the floor. Aislin scanned the hall. She looked towards the Great Hall. The doors were gone and it was gloomy inside. She decided to wait until she went to look in there.

"You three start checking everyone." She said. Draco, Lina, and Rina all nodded. Aislin stood up and began walking towards the far wall. She saw Ron waving his hand. He was holding Hermione. Hermione was staring at seemingly nothing. Ron was holding her back. His hand was covered with blood. Aislin ran over to them, hopping over obstacles. She kneeled next to them.

"She was impaled with a piece of wood. I took it out." Ron said. Aislin nodded and looked at Hermione's face. She was deathly pale. "She's lost a lot of blood." Ron said. Aislin tried to pry his arms off of her. He would not let Hermione go.

"Ron, in order for me to treat her, I need you to let her go." Aislin said. Ron shook his head, refusing to release her. Aislin sighed. "Ron, she needs help and I can't do it with you clinging onto her. Do you want her to lose anymore blood?" She asked. Ron shook his head and reluctantly let Hermione go. Aislin turned her over on her back and examined the wound.

"Can you do anything?" Ron asked. Aislin touched Hermione's face. She was growing colder by the minute. She looked up at Ron then back down at Hermione.

"Hermione?" She asked. Hermione blinked and looked at Aislin. Aislin lowered her head so that her eyes were level with Hermione's. "Hermione?"

"Yes?" Hermione whispered.

"How do you feel right now?" Aislin asked.

"Cold." Hermione said. Aislin nodded. She sat up and took out a bottle from a pocket inside her robe. Ron watched her open it. She looked at Ron.

"You might want to hold her hand or something. Hermione, this is going to hurt a lot." Aislin said. Hermione nodded slightly and Ron took her hand. Aislin tilted the bottle, letting a few clear drops drop onto Hermione's wound.

Draco and Lina turned around as the heard Hermione scream.

"Wow. That must really hurt." Lina said dryly. Draco nodded. He heard a whimper somewhere near them. He looked around the floor and saw Ginny. She was half buried under some rocks.

"Help." She said. Draco walked over to her. He pulled some of the stones off of her and then noticed that a very large one was on top of her leg. Draco stared at it for a minute, curious about how to lift it. Lina looked at him.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" She asked.

"Do you think I should use the levitation charm? I mean, will it work on something so large?" Draco asked. Ginny's eyes widened. How dense can you get? Her leg was killing her and he was sitting there contemplating whether or not to use the levitation charm.

"Just do it, damnit! This bloody thing hurts like hell!" Ginny yelled. Draco jumped at her outburst and took out his wand, mumbling a few choice words for her.

"Wingardium leviosa." Draco said calmly. The stone levitated for a moment, then fell back on Ginny's leg. Lina and Draco cringed and Ginny's eyes nearly burst out of her head. She sucked in air through clenched teeth in order to hold back a scream and glared at Draco. Draco examined his wand. There was a minor crack in it. "Hmmm. Sorry about that, Weasley. It looks like my wand is out for the count. It's cracked and won't be of much help. Lina, you try it." Draco said.

"I'll levitate it while you pull Ginny from underneath it, Draco." Lina said. Draco nodded and walked over to Ginny. Ginny grabbed his arm and looked down at the rock. "Wingardium leviosa." Lina did the necessary movements of her wand and the rock started to lift slowly. As soon as it was high enough for Ginny to move, Draco yanked her quickly, nearly pulling her arm out of place. Ginny glared up at him. Lina dropped the rock from the charm.

"Thank you, Malfoy." Ginny grumbled. Draco nodded and looked at her crushed ankle.

"I reckon that aches a bit." He said. Ginny just glared at him. She looked around at the devastation. She could not see the one person she ought to see.

"What happened?" She whispered.

"An explosion, I guess. We were all out when it happened. Apparently, your brother was awake. Go talk to him. I'm going to look for Neve and Aurora." Draco said. Ginny nodded. Lina helped her up and they went limping over to Hermione, Ron, and Aislin.

"Hey." Ginny said. Lina let her down easily next to Aislin. Aislin mumbled something. She finished wrapping Hermione up. Hermione was still breathing harshly. When Aislin sat back, she sighed, looking at her handiwork.

"Well, that should hold her over until we get her to St. Mungo's. Hermione, take this." Aislin gave Hermione a small ball that resembled a jawbreaker. Hermione put it her mouth and chewed on it. Ron watched her eyes droop until she passed out completely.

"What did you just give her?" Ron asked, sounding worried. Aislin began examining Ginny's leg.

"It was just a mild sedative. I'm sure sleep is welcome. Plus, this way, she cannot feel the pain. Let her sleep." Aislin cleaned Ginny's bloody ankle. Ron nodded and stood up. He wobbled for a moment, holding his head. Once he got his bearing, he looked over at Draco and Rina going through the wreckage.

"I'm going to look for Harry and the others." He said. Aislin nodded. Rina stood up to follow him. Ginny watched them go then winced as Aislin poured some disinfectant potion on the wound.

Draco walked over to where the doors to the Great Hall should have been. He stepped on something that cracked. Draco closed his eyes, hoping that it was not someone's fingers. He looked down and saw a piece of glass. Sighing in relief, he started to walk forward until something caught his eye.

There was a pool of what Draco assumed was blood under a large piece of the doors to the Great Hall. Rina stopped beside him and followed his gaze. Draco took a few steps forward and bent down to lift the piece of wood. Rina bent down to help him. Once they moved the heavy piece of wood, they looked down and saw two bodies. Neve and Tommy were both unconscious.

"Which one is bleeding?" Rina whispered. Draco shrugged. He bent down and moved some more of the wood off of them. Rina gasped at what she saw.

Both Tommy and Neve both had very bad head wounds. Neve had a large pieces of glass lodged in her stomach and arms. Tommy's wounds were almost as bad and his arm was still in bad shape. It seemed as if blood was coming from every part of their bodies. Draco fell to his knees and tried to find a pulse on Neve. It was there but it was very faint. Draco looked at Tommy and begrudgingly checked his pulse. It was also very faint.

"They're going to bleed to death if they don't get help immediately." He said.

"Just get that thing out of Neve. I could care less what happens to Tommy." Rina said spitefully. Draco nodded.

"The sad thing is that Neve does care what happens to him. I don't want her to hate me for the rest of her life." Draco stood up and looked over by Aislin.

Aislin was finishing up on Ginny when she saw Draco calling to her and waving his arms maniacally. Aislin helped Ginny up and they limped over to Draco. Ginny cringed at what she saw.

"I wonder how that happened." Aislin said.

"They must've been standing right next to the door." A voice said from beside her. They all turned to see Ava walking up to them. There was a very bad cut on her head and she was holding a long gash on her arm. Aislin reached out for her. Ava put a hand up and shook her head. "I'll live, I promise you. Help them."

"So how do we do this?" Rina asked. Aislin shrugged. She bent down next to them and looked at Neve's body. The girl had probably already lost a lot of blood. There was no doubt that Tommy was probably in as much pain as she was in at the moment, even in their unconscious state.

"I don't know. Can you pull all that stuff out of Neve?" Ginny asked. Aislin got on her knees and reached for Neve. As soon as she got close enough to her, Neve's eyes popped open and she screamed. Tommy did the same. Aislin fell back and Ginny and Rina screamed as well.

Neve looked to her right and saw Tommy sitting next to her, holding his stomach in utter agony. Everyone watched how Neve was apparently ignoring the shards in her body. Could the girl feel no pain?

Draco sighed and walked away. He did not want to witness what was going to happen between the two. He went further into what used to be the Great Hall. Ron and Lina were already in there, searching for any sign of Harry and Aurora.

Neve sat up just as Tommy tried to stand. Ginny, Aislin, and Ava all began backing away, unsure of what was about to happen. As the two got to their feet, Neve flinched as she tried to stand up straight. Tommy did the same thing, his good arm going for his stomach. He looked up at Neve.

"Go away." Neve mumbled to her friends. The others exchanged looks. Neve's breathing was raggedy and she had not taken her eyes off of her lover. Tommy was still staring her in the eyes.

"Neve, we're not leaving you here by yourself." Ginny took a step forward, cracking some glass. This spooked Tommy and his eyes darted to the side. Neve blinked and with a loud POP, Tommy was gone. Neve cursed under her breath and whirled on Ginny.

"Damnit, Ginny!" She started to run out. They all watched her go. Aislin shook her head.

"She's moving pretty well for someone with about six pieces of glass lodged in their body. Neve never fails to amaze." She said. Lina and Ginny nodded.

Draco searched frantically through the rubble in the former Great Hall. He heard footsteps behind him and saw Ginny looking wide-eyed at the wreckage. The place was the scene of sheer and downright chaos. Ginny's eyes shifted from side to side, searching desperately for some sign of Harry. Ginny closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt a wave of a weird kind of euphoria wash over her. She had to blink several times when she reopened her eyes.
Ginny recognized the Forbidden Forest immediately. Ferris standing next to Aislin, Aiko, Seph, and a few others. She heard hysterical crying coming from in front of them. Ginny furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and started to walk around the people standing. She looked down and gasped at what she saw.

Ava was on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Lina and Rina were kneeling next to her. Ginny looked past Ava and the twins and saw Neve and Tommy next to each other. Neve was holding onto something. Ginny just stood there in awe until she heard rustling behind her. Her eyes widened as something finally dawned on her.

'Finally, the stubborn child that changes will give birth times five to the twin...' Ginny thought.

"Neve is the stubborn child and Tommy is the twin." She whispered. There was no possible way that what Ginny was seeing was actually going to happen if Neve was supposed to have children.

'Unless the prophecy was for another time,' she thought. Either way it went, Ginny could not let Neve die, even if it meant their doom in years to come. She soon felt that odd tugging and the scene before her dissipated.

When she opened her eyes again, Ginny was in the same clearing in the Forbidden Forest. Neve stood a few feet in front of her, holding her wand towards someone. Ginny stepped around Neve and saw who she was pointing it towards. Tommy was laying on the ground. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. Neve sighed and ran over to him. She practically fell to her knees when she reached him. Ginny walked up quietly to them so she could here what was being said.

"Tommy?" Neve touched Tommy's face. He couldn't be dead because she was still alive. His eyes flickered for a moment and then he opened them fully. Neve looked into his eyes. They were blue once more. This surprised her more than ever now. A tear ran down her face.

"Why are you crying?" Tommy asked. Neve made a noise that was between a laugh and a cough. She sniffed lightly and just stared at Tommy.

"I thought I lost you." She said, choking back tears.

"You hit me with the curse, remember?" He said jokingly. Neve nodded.

"Not before you did some damage on your own." She laughed. Tommy nodded and took a deep breath. Both of them winced in pain.

"I think you broke some of my ribs." Tommy said. Neve nodded. "I see we are also still connected."

"Yes." Neve whispered. Tommy blinked slowly.

"What's going to happen to me?" He asked. Neve sighed. She closed her eyes.

"Something terrible." She said. Tommy nodded.

"I deserve it. I've become a monster. I should die for my actions." He said glumly. Neve shook her head.

"Nothing will happen to you." She said, looking at the wand in her hand. Tommy raised an eyebrow at her. Neve twirled the wand in her fingers.

"Neve, don't do it. Just let them take me to prison." Tommy said. Neve looked back down at him.

"I don't mind." She whispered. Tommy shook his head vigorously.

From where Ginny was standing, she could tell something was going down that was not good. She took a step closer, straining to hear what they were saying. Neve was smiling.

"This is quite ironic, isn't it?" Neve pointed to a fallen tree branch. Mumbling a few words and tapping her wand on it, the branch transfigured into a dagger. A very, very sharp dagger. Ginny's eyes widened. Neve picked up the dagger, sitting her wand on the ground. She looked at Tommy.

"You really want to go through with this? I'd rather be sent to Azkaban than see you die." Tommy said. Neve just smiled again. She leaned down and kissed him softly.

"You won't see me die." She whispered. Neve raised the dagger high above her head. She held it there for a second. Tommy closed his eyes, waiting for the blow. Neve closed her eyes and stabbed downward. Ginny gasped as it happened. Neve stared at Tommy for a moment. Ginny watched her. She bent over in pain, coughing up blood. She had not even released the dagger before she fell over, dead. Ginny felt herself being pulled back again.

This time, Ginny was at the destruction sight. She appeared just in time to see Tommy Apparate. Neve said her bit and took off. Ginny knew she had to do something. But what? She looked at Aislin. She was still holding the disinfectant potion. Ginny squeezed her eyes shut.

'Pare tiempo,' she thought. Thankful that she had remembered the spell from the previous year, she opened her eyes. Everyone had frozen. Ginny looked at Aislin and thought fast. 'Tell Lina to go after Neve. Give her the disinfectant potion,' Ginny thought, satisfied with her message. 'Empiece tiempo.' Ginny felt that familiar tugging.

When she opened her eyes again, Draco was still in front of her, searching through the ruins. Ginny turned around and saw that Lina was gone. Smirking to herself, she looked around the wreckage.

Draco looked around furiously. He was starting to get worried. There was no noise in the ravaged room except for Ginny, Ron, and Rina moving around behind him. There was no sign of Harry, Voldemort, or Aurora. Draco continued digging furiously. He stood up, out of breath and agitated. He started to walk forward before he tripped over a piece of wood. The other three looked up as Draco fell hard. Draco turned over, rubbing his knee. He looked down and gasped at what he saw.

A small, well-manicured hand was poking out from beneath the rubble. Weak and tired Draco was instantly filled with all the energy in the world. He began moving stones out of the way quickly.

Rina, Ron, and Ginny turned to see what all the fuss was about. Draco was digging like a lunatic. He cut his hands on shards of glass. His knuckles were bleeding as he moved stones and wood out of the way. Rina went over to him. She sat down and began digging as well. Pretty soon, a whole body was visible.

Aurora's normally caramel skin was lighter than usual. For a person of her color, she was quite pale. Draco touched her body. She was burning up and her heart was beating abnormally fast. He pulled her completely out of the rubble with Rina's help.

"Aislin!" Rina called. Aislin, who was patching up Chaylse, Cye, and Seph, came over to them. Draco noticed Aurora's bloody ankle. Aislin unwrapped it quickly. She gasped.

"A snake bite. She's been poisoned and from the looks of it, she's in the last stage." Aislin immediately began working her magic. Draco just stood and watched helplessly. After a number of medical charms that healed the snake bite and slowed her heart down, Aislin stood up. Draco looked up at her.

"Well?" He asked. Aislin shook her head.

"I don't know, Draco. She needs to get to a hospital, stat. I did what I could do for her with limited means and supplies. She'll only last so long. We need to hurry and find Harry. Carry Aurora over to Hermione." Aislin said. Draco nodded and picked up the unconscious girl.

Ron, Rina, and Ginny were still looking for Harry. Ginny stepped over a charred piece of wood only to fall forward from a snake's head bursting through the rubble. Ginny turned over and scooted back. Ron looked over at his sister. Fright filled her eyes and she tried desperately to get away from the snake was coming after her. Ron started running frantically over to his sister.

Ginny stared at the snake snapping relentlessly at her as it pulled itself from the rubble. She scooted back some more. The snake bit lightly into her bad ankle and pulled. She began screaming and frantically reaching in her robes for her wand. She realized that her wand was somewhere in the hall. Right about now, she wished desperately that she was Soliopath.

"Ginny!" Ron screamed. Ginny shook her leg but stopped immediately as she realized it only worsened the pain.

Ava turned around at the sound of Ginny screaming. Something was holding on desperately to her leg. She squinted and realized what exactly it was. Ava frowned and started walking forward despite the pain and dizziness coming to her.

"Nyoka, stop it this instant!" Ava hissed loudly. The snake stiffened and let go of Ginny's ankle. Ginny tried to scoot back further. Ron ran to her side, wishing he had his wand. He looked over at the snake. Nyoka was just staring at Ginny and Ron. Ava walked over to the snake and it turned to face her.

"Mistress Avarielle..." Nyoka hissed to Ava. Ava crossed her arms.

"Get on my leg, Nyoka. You've caused enough trouble already." Ava hissed sternly. Ginny and Ron watched in mystification and Nyoka slithered towards Ava. The snake wrapped around her left leg. It looked back at Ginny, still hissing. Ava looked down at the snake then looked at her friend. "Did it bite you?" She asked. Ginny looked down at her leg.

"No. It didn't bite through the wrapping Aislin put on it. Ron, help me up." Ginny said. Ron stood up and grabbed his sister's arm. She stood up shakily and dusted herself off. She looked around the room. "Where is Harry?" She whispered.

Across the room, Rina levitated a large piece of stone. She flung the piece of rock to the side and it landed loudly on some wood. Rina looked back down and saw a pair of glasses. She turned towards Ginny and Ron.

"You guys, I found Harry's glasses!" She yelled. Ron and Ginny turned in her direction. Ginny limped quickly over to Rina with Ron following her. Rina began levitating all kinds of debris quickly. Ron pulled his wand and started helping. Ginny just watched idly, trying to balance on one foot. When they stopped, completely out of breath, they looked down at the two bodies. Ginny cringed at the sight.

Both Voldemort and Harry were less than four feet apart. Both of them looked dead. Voldemort looked like he had stuck his head in a fire and held it there for quite some time. Harry had various cuts on his face. His arm was bent in a very awkward position. Ginny practically fell on her knees as she walked over to Harry.

"Harry?" She whispered. Ron walked over to Voldemort. He checked his pulse. It was very weak, but it was a pulse nonetheless.

"This bastard's still alive." Ron whispered. Ginny looked over in his direction.

"That can't be possible. Harry's still alive, too." Ginny said. Ron looked over at her. She was holding his wrist.

"So, this thing's not over?" Rina asked. Ron and Ginny shook their heads. Ron pointed his wand at Voldemort's head. Ginny's eyes widened.

"Ron, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Ginny said harshly. Ron looked at her.

"What the bloody hell does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to kill this bastard once and for all." Ron pushed his wand to Voldemort's charred forehead. Before he muttered the curse, Rina grabbed his hand. He looked at her like she had lost her mind.

"You can't do that, Ron." She said.

"Why the fuck not?"

"You don't listen to shit, do you, Weasley?" Draco's voice said. They all turned to see him sauntering up behind them. His arms were crossed and he looked very worn out.

"What are you going on about, Malfoy?" Ron asked. Draco shook his head.

"You can't kill Voldemort. Only Harry can do that. Anything you try will probably deflect back on you. I would advise you not to try." He said. Ron grinded his teeth together and put his wand away.

Ginny looked down just as both Harry and Voldemort shifted. Ron, Rina, and Draco backed away from Voldemort's body.

Harry's eye fluttered open. He looked up and squinted. The people around him were fuzzy. Harry attributed that to the fact that his glasses were missing in action. A loud beat was going on in his head. It sounded like a heartbeat.

"Harry?" A voice that was as sweet as music said. Harry looked up to the source of the beautiful voice. All he saw was a mix of colors. The person with the beautiful voice leaned down closer to him. Harry watched the face become clearer.

"Gin?" He asked. Ginny nodded enthusiastically.

"Harry! I'm so happy you're alive." Ginny said. Harry winced. The heartbeat became louder and faster. Harry's eyes darted to his left. He saw a hand moving not too far from Ginny. She had not noticed it.

"Gin, move..." Harry whispered weakly. Ginny did not quite understand him.

"What?" She asked. Ron looked at the warning in his friend's eyes. He understood immediately and yanked Ginny back just as Voldemort's hand tried to grab her ankle. Ginny fell back against Ron's legs. Everyone who had a wand pulled it. Voldemort sat up and looked at everyone. Harry attempted to do the same, but found that every appendage was not responding.

Voldemort looked at the frozen students. He completely ignored them and looked down at the paralyzed Harry.

"The end is near, Potter." He said in a deadly tone. Harry watched helplessly as Voldemort made short work of his friends. When he was done, he looked down at Harry.

'What the hell am I going to do now?' Harry asked himself.

'Telepathy, Harry,' a voice said in his mind. Harry blinked. It was Aurora. Voldemort started closing in on him.

'How?'

'Will it with all your power. I will help you,' Aurora's voice said. Harry swallowed hard just as Voldemort raised his hand for the killing blow. He squeezed his eyes shut.

"DÉTRUIRE..." Voldemort stopped in mid-curse. Rina's eyes flickered open from her place on the ground. She watched as Voldemort stopped. His hand immediately dropped. His body went rigid and he stared at Harry. The next few seconds shocked all.

Voldemort hit the ground, hard and roughly. Ginny saw Harry's head relax. Neither was moving.

"What just happened?" Ron asked, standing up. Everyone shrugged. Rina was first over to Voldemort.

"Rina, get away from..." Draco stopped when she turned Voldemort over.

"He's dead." Rina whispered. Voldemort was staring up into space. Ginny crawled over to Harry. She turned his head to face her. She let out a sigh of relief when she felt his breath on her hands.

"Harry's still alive. Does this mean that it is..." Ginny looked up at her brother.

"...over."

AN: You all want to know what will happen between the two torn lovers, don't you? LOL
