Harry stood up from kneeling over Ron's floating, lifeless body and he gave cold glares to everyone around him.
"Harry, I know you are feeling angry and…"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING! RON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF ME, PROFESSOR! I'M FEELING THE URGE TO KILL THAT BLOODY BASTARD! HE'S GOING TO PAY!"
And with that, Harry charged down the stairs, kicking a moving Death Eater in the head before he jumped down onto the landing. Hermione looked at Snape with tears in her eyes and he hugged her tightly once again.
Dumbledore shook his head glumly and motioned his wand at Ron's body. The body disappeared and he walked slowly down the steps to check on his other students.
Ginny was in a corner, silently crying. Draco came in from behind one of the doors, arm badly bleeding and a limp in his leg and then he saw Ginny. He limped over to her and she gasped when she saw the blood.
"Professor McGonagall!"
Minerva raced over to the two and looked over Draco's bleeding arm and badly injured leg. She waved her wand and the blood started to disappear and his leg began to heal.
Hermione pulled away from Snape and ran over to Ginny and hugged her tightly. Snape followed her slowly, but he suddenly stopped when a sharp pain traveled up his leg. He bent down and pulled up his pant leg to reveal a gigantic gash running from his knee to the top of his foot. Hermione looked behind her at Snape and saw him wince, He never realized that he had a wound and now he felt the pain of it. Snape collapsed to the floor, the blood flowing onto the marble and his robes. Hermione ran over to him and held onto him so he wouldn't fall over in a way that would hurt him even further.
"Are you okay?"
Severus grunted and nodded briskly. The pain burned at him and he started to sweat. Hermione looked up at Dumbledore as he walked back up the stairs to them and gave him a questioning look.
"Voldermort was able to get away because we were in a state of shock…"
"But, Professor…how was he able to Apparate out of the castle…isn't the charms…"
"I removed them Ms. Granger…to give him and the Death Eaters the sense that we weren't expecting an attack. I can feel his presence in the Forbidden Forest and I am afraid that's where Harry ran off to. I think he can feel Voldermort much more clearly with his scar…now that he is burning with revenge…"
Hermione gasped and knew that Harry was certainly in trouble.
Harry pushed the doors to the grounds open and walked with a fiery step onto the cool grass. He felt his scar grow warmer and warmer as he neared the Forbidden Forest. Harry's blood was boiling and he felt a great pain go through his heart. His best friend was dead and he had let it happen…
Hermione clutched onto Snape as Madame Pompfry healed the gushing wound on his leg. Snape continued to wince and Hermione slightly cried on his shoulder.
"Hermione…?"
Hermione looked up with teary eyes and stared into Remus Lupin's face. She nodded and kissed Snape on the forehead. He smiled slightly at her and closed his eyes as the nurse waved her wand quickly and the wound closed.
"We must hurry before Harry does something rash…"
"I would be right beside his if I had the strength. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named just killed one of my best friends. I don't blame him, Remus."
Lupin nodded and looked at Snape.
"Are you coming?"
"Of course."
Hermione clutched onto Snape's arm and shook her head.
"No you can't."
"I'm going! I must protect you. I know how Voldermort fights…"
"Then…it's settled."
Mad-eye Moody said as he limped up the steps. Tonks followed close behind, watching around her cautiously. Hermione stood and nodded to Lupin, who started towards the doors. Snape stood right after Hermione and took her hand into his. They both looked at each other and then descended the stairs to the final battle that would either free the Wizarding World…or cost them their lives.
Harry approached the edge of the Forbidden Forest and his anger burned fiercely. He could feel the evil pulsate out from the dark trees as the moon tried to cast light on them, but it fell behind a few clouds and they were nothing more but a hole in the night.
Harry raised his wand and it glowed a dim orange as his hatred flared and angry tears trickled down his cheeks. His green eyes sparkled with fire and he spat upon the grass in front of him.
"YOU KILLED THE PARENTS I NEVER KNEW AND THE ONLY BROTHER I EVER HAD!"
A chuckle arose from the darkness and Harry's breath became heavy and ragged. He stepped slightly closer to the edge of the forest and stopped when saw a pair of red eyes flare in the blackness of the trunks.
" Come now Harry…I've spared your life for seven years now…"
"No! I've folded your plans for six years and now I will finally defeat you!"
Voldermort snickered and stepped out into the returning moonlight. His black robes billowed in the absent wind and he had his wand raised towards Harry.
" How is it that a young boy with no foreseeable powers was able to defeat me? I know because it was from the mark your dear mother Lily left upon you, but it was something more…"
Harry was silent. His anger bubbled more. How dare he talk about his mother…
"Ah…your eyes hold a hatred I saw 16 years ago…it brings back fond memories…"
Harry knew he was talking about his mother and he gritted his teeth to hold back from jumping Voldermort.
"Yes…those same green eyes looked at me with fear, desperation…and hatred…I can almost hear your mother's screams…they were a wonderful sound…"
"You…You…bloody bastard…"
Voldermort waved a long, skinny, and white finger at Harry.
"There is no need for that language, Harry. What would your mother say?"
Harry twitched and gripped his wand tighter. He held back the urge to use and Unforgivable Curse on the monster in front of him. He could see that Voldermort was anticipating him to react to his comments, but he wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of what his words were doing to him.
Harry heard a rustling from behind him and heard voices. He saw a group of people running across the grounds to him and Voldermort. Harry looked Voldermort in his red glowing eyes and smiled slyly.
"What are you smiling at? Do you really think you and your friends can defeat me? Even if you do, my spirit and my followers shall always be lurking about…watching you from the darkness and planning your death…"
"I highly doubt that…."
Snape bounded up next to Harry and raised his wand high and proud. Voldermort snickered again and watched the others circle around him.
"Severus…I trusted you the most…"
"Well…as they say…keep your friends close…your enemies closer…and you were the one that trained me to be this devious and treacherous…it shouldn't be a big surprise to you…"
Hermione smiled slightly and raised her wand towards Voldermort. He looked at her with disgust and hatred.
"I should kill you first, Mudblood…"
"Look who's talking…you're half and half too…remember…"
Snape looked down at Hermione and smiled to himself. She was brave when she had to be. He could see the anger in her eyes. Ron had meant a lot to her…he was like a brother…
Voldermort looked back at Harry and laughed. Harry raised his wand higher and opened his mouth to say a curse, but was blown back by a big ball of purple energy that Voldermort had created. Severus jumped in front of Hermione as a blue ray of light shot her way. The light sliced at his wand arm and he grunted out in pain. Hermione screamed his name and fell over Lupin's foot.
Harry looked up from the ground to see Voldermort advancing on him and he jumped to his feet.
"Avada Kedav…"
Harry couldn't finish because Voldermort tackled him and pinned him to the ground. Voldermort held the tip of his wand to Harry's throat and smiled.
"This is the end for you, Potter. Tell your parents and Sirius I say hello…"
Voldermort paused slightly and then opened his mouth to utter the killing curse when a black form tackled Voldermort and took him off of Harry. Harry gasped and sat straight up to watch Voldermort roll on the ground with a black form. Harry could make out black fur and growls mixed in with Voldermort's howls of pain as teeth ripped at him. Harry jumped to the struggle and kicked Voldermort in the head. The black form jumped away and ran into the Forbidden Forest. Harry watched it go, but then was taken down when Voldermort kicked at his legs and tripped him.
Harry groaned as his face hit the grass. He tried to leap up, but he felt a foot connect with his face. Blood poured out onto the wet grass and Harry cried out in pain. Voldermort laughed hysterically as he continued to kick at Harry. He finally stopped and then picked Harry off the ground. Harry's face was bruised and bleeding, his glasses were cracked and the lenses were shattered.
Voldermort smiled wickedly and raised his wand to the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. Harry could feel the heat from the wand burn his flesh and he screamed. Voldermort laughed and laughed . Harry still had a tight grip on his wand and he slowly raised it.
"Good-bye…Harry Potter…Avada K…"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
A bright green light erupted from the end of Harry's wand as it had been pointed straight into Voldermort's chest. Their proximity was so close that the curse blew Voldermort back from Harry and he dropped to the ground. Voldermort's sizzling body landed a few hundred yards away and it laid limp and smoking. Harry gasped for air as he felt the blood from his wounds go down his throat. The world started to become dizzy and he made out a few shapes rushing towards him and Hermione's voice yelling his name before he blacked out…
A.n: HAHAHA! HARRY KICKS A…BUTT! Sorry to leave it at a cliffy…but I had to…next update to come soon. Oh and…who knows the mysterious black form? Yup yup…you guessed it…but for all that don't know…can you keep a secret? Well…so can I! MWUHAAAAAA!
