Escape
Chapter ten
Dumbledore was there to greet him, Harry needed no explanation to the question he had been about to ask so he jumped straight to the answer.
"Draco has them, if I don't survive then you are to leave them all alone, I won't have either Glory or Gavin leading the life that I led."
"I think I need to show you something." Dumbledore said motioning or Harry to follow him, which he did even if it was a little reluctantly.
Harry knew better than to question the headmaster, so when they arrived at his office he went in, when Albus removed his pensive he just sat before him and stared. When Sybil Trelawney formed above the pensive Harry just listened to what she said knowing there would be a point to him hearing this.
"From he who has the power to destroy the Dark Lord will come two children born on the same day one will be a great force of good and the other a great source of evil. Together no one will challenge them but apart they challenge each other. Both so powerful that the magic coursing through their veins is an unstoppable force of the side they represent."
"No" Harry said as his divination teacher returned to the pensive. "My children will not play a part in this, I won't allow it."
"You may not have a choice."
"How dare you, I won't allow you to mess up their lives the way you messed up mine."
"I only tried to do what is right by you Harry, I am sorry that you feel that way."
"Screw you, if I die today I want you to know that I died hating you."
With that Harry stormed off, in the entrance hall the entire side of good had accumulated to witness whether the rumours were true. When Harry appeared at the stop of the marble staircase everyone cheered him. He could see Ron, Hermione, Severus, Remus and other faces from his childhood that he had long since forgotten about.
He felt a sickening feeling in his stomach when he saw that Ron was smiling at him, as he reached the bottom of the stairs he charged over to Ron and punched him in the noise. The shock of it had him falling to the ground cradling a broken nose.
"You bastard, how dare you stand there and be happy that I'm back, you're the reason I left." Everyone who had been trying to help Ron by either trying to heal his nose or holding Harry back stepped back look at the red head in shock and disbelief.
"I never …"
"Save it, as I said to Dumbledore, if I die today, I die hating you."
"Harry …" it was Hermione "I'm so glad that your back." Harry embraced her in his arms and there they remained, no one was helping Ron, he got up and hobbled away to the hospital wing so he wasn't any where.
"I die loving you Mione, you've always been a friend to me, I will take him with me, I need you to do me a favour though okay."
"Anything"
"Draco is looking after Glory and Gavin, my children. When this is all over, if I die or cannot go to him myself I want you to go to him and tell him okay. I don't trust anyone else."
"Of course, I'll do anything for you."
"I know."
He then addressed the troops giving them battle instructions, when he had finished someone raised their hand, he was young and reminded Harry of his transfiguration teacher.
"Yes"
"I was just wondering, you never mentioned when we'd be doing this and how your going to get the Dark Lord to show up."
"I'm going to send him a message."
"Who's the messenger?" Severus interrupted looking sceptical as he feared it might be him.
"Me, I'm connected to him, he's been able to send me messages and be inside my head why not reverse that, I've done it before."
"So, when do we do this?"
"Now, get ready."
They all scurried off into positions as Harry sat down, closed his eyes and concentrated. It wasn't long until he felt the link between them start to tingle, he hadn't used it in a while, Voldermort hadn't either, he could feel it working, he could feel their thoughts flowing as one. Harry focused on one particular thought, of him killing Voldermort and he knew that Tom had seen his own demise as he could hear him laughing.
Harry was a little unnerved when he heard his voice in his head, so startled that he opened his eyes to make sure that he wasn't standing before him, this broke the connection but he had heard him, loud and clear. "I'm coming to get you Potter!"
"GET RERADY!" Harry shouted "INCOMING!"
The unmistakeable sound of apperating deatheaters could be heard before spells replaced it, Harry watched from the great hall as people died, he watched for Voldermort, but he wasn't there or at least Harry couldn't see him.
Dumbledore came down the stairs to join in the battle, fashionably late, Harry watched him leave only half regretting what had passed between them. It was then that red eyes glowed behind him; he saw them in the reflection of the glass and spun around as he was confronted by Voldermort.
"Finally, I'm going to get to kill you." Tom sneered.
"Not if I kill you first." Harry sneered back in reply.
"As cocky as ever I see."
"As ugly as ever I see."
"I won't tolerate your insolence brat."
"And I won't tolerate you ruining my life any more."
"I've ruined your life? I feel a sense of pride coming on."
"If you kill me today I'll take you with me."
"You can try."
"Like you tried to kill me so many times and failed."
"Your death is long over due Potter."
"As is yours Riddle."
Wands would be no good in this fight, Harry knew this, Tom knew this … what were they going to fight with, in the silence that followed Harry drew back his fist and slammed it into Tom's nose. This seemed to distract him long enough for Harry to run, he ran into the entrance hall and summoned Godric's sword, the only weapon he had been taught to yield.
Tom didn't take long to recover from the blow that Harry had delivered but he was happy to see that a streak of blood was trickling from Tom's nose. "I never thought it would be this easy." Harry said and Tom scowled at him.
"You'll regret that Potter."
"I regret a lot of thing's, that is not one of them I'm afraid."
"Avada Kedavera." Voldermort shouted, Harry put up a shield charm and put the sword in the way of the curse. It reflected off of him on to Voldermort who absorbed it and then fired again at Harry who did not have time to reflect the curse or protect himself from it.
He did not die straight away however, he fell to his knees gasping for breath, Voldermort was struggling as well but he found strength enough to laugh, a cruel mocking laugh that sent shivers of horror coursing through Harry's body.
Unable to stand it he gathered up his remaining bit of strength and swung his sword at Voldermort, the laughter died from his face as his head rolled to the floor, separated from his body, the eyes staring lifeless and dead. Harry felt himself dying, he thought of his children and the fact that he would never see them again and he cried, the tears fell from his eyes as his body fell to the ground.
