A.N I decided to start writing this chapter up quickly to stop you guys from freaking out. lol. It was pretty creul of me to end there but it was absolutely neccessary. It was the end of the pensieve chapter. Now we are finally on chapter 25! Yay! Here things that you will have read in earlier chapter will be explained. I just love it when clues are put early on into the story and no one has a clue about it. So exciting, So thrilling. Not sure why. lol. Anywho here is the chapter.
Oh by the way, Kiri, read back, you'll find Harry WAS in the boys dorm when he went into the pensieve and Snape found him because SNAPE IS THE ONLY PERSON LEFT ALIVE. I thought you would have got that from the last chapter?

MILD VIOLENCE AND SOME SCENES WITH STRONG VIOLENCE, IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING PEOPLE GETTING SLICED IN HALF OR BLOWN UP IN DETAIL THEN IT IS LIKELY YOU WILL NOT WANT TO READ ANY FURTHER. - unfortunately, I have been forced to change the rating to M just in case. Oh and if you flame me after reading this, It's your own fault that your upset because I warned you. If you want you can read the chapter and just skip the paragraphs that may be disturbing. I'll have warning signs at the begining of each part.
Death and Triumph.
"Harry, get up" Snape spat as he yanked on his arm. Teary eyed and physically shaken, Harry stood. He looked about the common room and back at Snape.
He didn't care that it was Snape, the one person he hated the most in the school, well Harry thought, maybe not the most hated. Malfoy was close competition. He forgot about his rage and anger, there was nothing left of him to feel. His best friends were dead, Dumbledore dead, Ginny...but part of him refused to believe it.
"Professor" Harry pleaded. "Tell me you're lying" Snape looked down at Harry with an expression Harry couldn't understand or read. It was a mixture of pain, pity and bitterness.
"No Harry" he said quietly. Why is he calling me by my first name? Harry wondered. "Voldemort got you out of the way and then proceeded to Hogwarts, if you would like to see what happened I can make it possible however it will be - distressing - for your fragile mind"
There was another tone behind his patronising voice and Harry couldn't help but believe. However he wanted to see what Voldemort did, he needed to see. Harry nodded.
"Show me" he whispered. Snape flicked his wand and a large floating screen appeared infront of them. It reminded Harry of the time James showed them the events that happened with Lily. Did that even happen? Or was it just made up?
Harry's stomach knotted. He bit his lip and refused to think about it. Now he will see events that have taken place because of him. He will watch everyone die.
He considered running away or shutting his eyes and shouting to block it all out. But he couldn't do that, he would not be a coward, I'm not a Wormtail he thought desperately. With that thought Harry watched Snape appear in the Tv screen and run towards the castle.
The sky was filled with every colour of the rainbow, flashes bolted towards the ground and the loud bangs and cries filled the air. Snape continued to run, his robes billowing out behind him. His face couldn't be seen but he was clutching his forearm and appeared to be in great distress.
A flashburst intogreat lake and huge wave of water soared into the air and slapped on top of Snape and flattened him to the floor.
WARNING
The Giant Squid squealed and shook violently, it was hit by the flash and a huge thick slash cut into its side and green gunge oozed out of it's skin. There was little water left in the lake and the squid's gills flapped rapidly in attempt to take in water but caught air instead.
END OF WARNING
Snape got up from the floor and limped his way to the side of the lake, he flicked his wand and the squid's wound dissapeared, he flicked his wand again and the water rushed back into the lake and the squid bobbed about in the water, still shaking slightly.
Snape took off his heavy robes and hurried towards the castle in black trousers and a black shirt. He continued clutching his forearm. "No" he moaned. "No". He sprinted up the steps of the castle and threw open the doors. Screams and shouts filled the room. A large bunch of Ravenclaws stood huddled together in a corner of the hall. Two death eaters laughed creully as they pulled on of the boys away from the group, as if pulling a spider apart leg by leg.
The boy looked ashen faced and refused to speak. "What's your name, boy?" a high pitched squeal asked. Harry clenched his fists, he knew that voice. The boy held his head up high. "Henry Corsworth, I'm a second year and I am not afriad of you!" the boy yelled back. His body was as stiff as a board and he stood with his fists clenched. The rest of the group stayed huddled together and cried for mercy. The deatheaters laughed through their masks.
"Say bye bye Henry" the high pitched voice said. The ravenclaws screamed and Henry staggered backwards slightly. The deatheaters raised their wands each saying a different curse. Red, yellow and black shot towards the boy and wacked him with full force. The effect was hideous.
WARNING
The red spell forced the boy to the floor and he screamed and writhed in agony. The yellow spell caused him to bleed from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth. He seemed to choke on his blood and the black spell worked last. Suddenly skin tore from his chest and as if two trolls had each of his arms, the boy sliced apart. Blood and slimy organs splattered the group of Ravenclaws.
END OF WARNING
Harry watched in horrorand had a strongurge to vomit. The deatheaters cheered and jumped up and down. They turned to Snape "Want a go Severes?" One of them said. Snape shook his head.Instead hegrinned and said "I'm looking for someone more - amusing -to kill" the deatheaters chuckled and turned back to the group of ravenclaws.
Snape hurried up the stairs and passed more students and deatheaters. He sprinted up many steps and with every turn Harry's heart skipped a beat as he expected to see Ginny recieve the same fate as Henry. Finally Snape stopped outside the portraight of the fat lady, however she was nolonger in the portriaght. It was slashed brutelly and blackend.
Snape gripped the sides of the portraight and tore it off the wall, then climbed through the hole. Dean and Seamus were duelling with a couple of deatheaters, the Creevery brother layed dead on the ground amoungst Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, some students lay dead in pieces and some bodies were unrecognizable.
Snape stepped forward and yelled "Avada Kedavra" to the two death eaters and a jet of green light hit them both. They fell to the ground instantly. Dean and Seamus looked at Snape with identically shocked looks. "Proffessor-" Seamus began horrified. Snape marched towards the stair case leading to the boy's dorm.
"Where's Potter?" he yelled to them. Dean and Seamus stood stunned. "We haven't seen him for days" Dean said. Snape climbed the spiral steps but stopped when an explosion shook the whole castle. Snape turned and dashed down the steps. The bodies had dissapeared and Dean and Seamus were gone.
Instead the chairs, floor and walls were on fire. Snape flicked his wand and water drenched the sceen. After a few minutes the smoke died down and Snape saw a man in long black robes step forward. His bony hands wiped water off his tight face and his snake like eyes looked at Snape.
Snape knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. "My lord" he murmured. Voldemort placed a hand on Snape's shoulder.
"You may rise" he said calmly. Snape nodded and stood.
"What are your orders?" Snape asked humbly
Voldemort smiled. "My deatheaters have informed me that everyone is dead. I dealt with Dumbledore and now I think it is time to go and get Harry from the pensieve and show him what he has done." Snape nodded curtly.
"Where is he?" he asked. Voldemort looked up at the boys' staircase. "He is wearing an invisibility cloak. Get him, bring him down here, show him what has happened and them I shall speak with him." Snape nodded again and turned.
The TV screen dissapeared and Harry looked shocked at Snape. His face was blank and he said nothing. Instead a cloaked figure stepped out from behind him and smiled at Harry.
"Hello Harry" he said as he placed a spidery hand on his shoulder. Harry froze.
"Voldemort" he whispered. The time he had been dreading to come. The moment he had played out in his head for the whole of the Summer. The deed that needed to be done, finally came. Harry swallowed. The time was now. Everyone. Everyone was dead because of his cowardness. Voldemort ruined everyone's life he probably even killed Ginny. Rage soared back into Harry's heart and he burned with anger. Voldemort flinched and took his hand off Harry's shoulder. Harry no longer felt fear or guilt. Instead he felt raw passionate anger. He was livid and he was ready to murder Voldemort.
