Harry couldn't speak, he felt that if he tried saying something he'd vomit everywhere, Hermione on the other hand was acting like nothing had happened, she made the two bodies disappear, fixed the hole in the ceiling and anything else which was broken in the battle, while she did this she was humming a tune as though she was cleaning the house.
"Hermione how can you act normal after what you've just seen, Snape just killed himself, Draco's dead because of us and you just clean the mess up like they were rubbish, what's gotten into you?"
Harry finally spoke and to his amazement didn't vomit, Hermione stopped and turned around, her eyes had that red tint in them again, Harry didn't think much of it, he just thought it was a trick of the light. Hermione turned away and continued tidying up as she said
"Harry they were Deatheaters which meant they were as good as rubbish, I don't want evidence lying around of you murdering Draco, all I'm trying to do is protect you. I knew you wouldn't be able to do it so I wanted to do it for you, as for Snape killing himself well he just couldn't cope with his tasks so wanted a way out and saw a battle to the death with you as a noble enough death to cover up his betrayal, shall we go now before we're caught?"
They were turning around to leave as someone shouted "MURDERERS" Ron came through the doorway to the bedrooms, obviously he'd seen the whole battle, Hermione smiled but it seemed a cold, fake smile.
"Ron what the fuck are you going on about? Harry didn't murder Draco the sword slipped from his hand and accidentally stabbed him, see it was a simple accident"
"Bullshit Hermione we all know what Harry just done, you deserve to go to Azkaban for that you murderers, you're as bad as you-know-who, you MURDE….."
"SILENCO"
Ron had shouted himself into a rage and Hermione shut him up with a silencing spell simply because he pissed her off, now it was Hermione's turn to go into a rage as she walked up to Ron, grabbed him round the throat and said through clenched teeth
"Listen you little weasel we are not as bad as Deatheaters, yes we have murdered on a couple of occasions, but what did you expect us to do in this war just wait and hope the enemy dies of old age, now if you don't stop bothering us you will be the second Weasley I've killed, your Deatheater brother Percy is waiting for you in hell, goodbye"
As she finished what she was saying she used a banishing spell to make Ron fly straight out an open window, he couldn't scream because of the silencing spell, there was no sound of a splash in the lake, or a thud on the ground, just silence until Harry looked at Hermione in shock and said
"Hermione that was one of our friends you just sent flying out that window, you just killed out best friend"
"He was an ex best friend and he isn't dead for sure, he might've landed in the lake or something, stop worrying Harry ok?"
Harry didn't say anything more as Hermione did have a good point, they booked a room in the Leaky Cauldron for that night and fell asleep straight away.
They didn't give what happened the previous night with Ron another thought, if he survived or not then either way they wouldn't see him again.
They needed to concentrate on finding the last horcrux – Nagini, they knew that Voldemort kept her close to him at all times which was helpful but at the same time a serious pain in the arse. They planned to kill Nagini then go visit the Order to get help, then go back to find Voldemort for the final battle, the end was drawing near.
Harry knew how to find Voldemort because of his link with him, he and Hermione decided to do side-along apparition so they could both go along to kill Nagini, as they were preparing to go Lupin apparated into the room.
"Hi are the Order needed yet? The Deatheaters keep knocking off members slowly, there are only a few left now-me, Tonks, Molly and Arthur, Fred, George, Bill, Kingsley, and McGonagall are all that's left. The teachers at Hogwarts don't want to risk their lives on the battlefield, they prefer their comfortable jobs, and Ron seems to have gown missing, we hope he's still alive but we doubt it"
"It's awful about Ron, we both hope he's ok don't we Harry? We will need your help really soon, we just have one last thing to do before, please stop trying to fight the Deatheaters just keep whoever is left alive, your time for battling will come soon enough, Harry I have to go do something…… erm I have to see my parents but I'll be back soon, goodbye"
Hermione disapparated after she said this, leaving an odd silence behind, Lupin shook Harry's hand and disapparated back to the Order headquarters without saying another word. Harry couldn't stand waiting alone for Hermione so he went to find Voldemort on his own. He apparated into the same dark and cold chamber as before but this time Voldemort was sitting in his chair waiting for Harry.
"Hello Harry I've been expecting you, I knew you'd eventually find the horcruxes I made but never expected you to find and destroy them so fast and so easily. I guess now you're after Nagini then? Go ahead and destroy her she's right here, I won't stop you"
Voldemort had an evil grin on his face which made Harry think twice about killing Nagini straight away, then an idea came to him
"You do realise soon you'll be mortal again don't you? You must think I'm stupid, you've guarder this horcrux the most and I know you're up to something, IMPERIUS"
Harry had quickly raised his wand as he performed this curse, his first attempt at it and it was working, Voldemort was under his control.
"Lord Voldemort you will tell me what will happen to me if I try to kill Nagini and you will me of the way to kill her"
"Only I can kill Nagini and destroy this horcrux, if anyone else tried then they will have their souls ripped from their bodies and have their soul tortured till I am dead"
Voldemort didn't want to tell Harry what he just did but the curse on him was doing its job.
"Voldemort you will now destroy the remaining horcrux…NOW!"
He tried resisting but in the end he gave in and performed the killing curse on his snake, she laid there motionless then suddenly burst into flames as the piece of Voldemort's soul was released and destroyed, he was now mortal again.
Harry lifted the Imperius curse from Voldemort, he was proud of what he'd achieved, Voldemort was frozen in his chair, they were staring into each others eyes as there were two loud 'crack' sounds and then a moment later someone hissed "Crucio" Harry was hit by so much pain before he had the chance to turn around to see who was cursing him. He felt like he was being ripped apart slowly, he tried screaming but no sound left his mouth as he had no air in his lungs and then as the pain became unbearable the curse was lifted, Harry lifted his head from the damp floor and saw two hooded figures just before the disapparated, he struggled to stand then turned around and asked
"Who the fuck were they then?"
Voldemort shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said
"Well Harry I think this means you have some other people other than me and my Deatheaters who want you dead, they weren't any Deatheaters or they would've killed you straight away, watch your back and I'll see you again when you return to die"
Harry disapparated back to the room he was staying at, as soon as his feet touched solid ground his legs collapsed underneath him, he was knocked out as he hit the ground, and he lay on the bedroom floor unconscious and alone.
Can you guess who's after Harry?
