Ch: 2 The Fight
Harry and Hermione stopped at the doors to catch their breath and Harry turned to Hermione and said
"I want you to stay here."
Hermione opened her mouth to argue but Harry stopped her with a kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck, he pulled her closer and pushed his tongue into her mouth then he pulled back
"Please just stay here" Harry begged.
Hermione looked deep into his eyes and nodded slightly. Harry kissed her again then turned to walk through the door.
When Harry got into the entrance hall he saw Voldemort waiting for him.
"Ah Harry." Voldemort said calmly "It's good to see you even if you are here to kill me."
"Why don't you just drop dead and save me the work" Harry spat
"Aww Harry now you know you don't mean that. Why don't you join me we can do amazing things together Harry. We can bring your family back." Voldemort said
"I'll never join you! I hate you!" Harry shouted lunging at Voldemort, wand lying forgotten on the floor;
Harry punched Voldemort over and over again until his fists ached. Harry stopped to catch his breath and before he could do anything he was blasted backwards into the wall at the other end of the room. Harry stood up slowly, panting and heard Voldemort shout
"Crucio!"
Harry felt like he had thousands of knives stabbing him all over his body but he could also feel that he was still on his feet. Suddenly the pain stopped and Harry looked up to see Voldemort staring at him, shocked and before Voldemort could do anything else Harry had grabbed his wand and jumped to his feet.By the time Voldemort came to his senses Harry had shouted
"Avada Kedavra!"
and Voldemort fell to the ground dead.
Harry collapsed and he heard someone running. It was Hermione coming towards him
"Harry! Are you okay?" she said.
"I'm fine, I'll be okay" Harry answered panting.
"Oh my god! Harry did you do this?" a voice said.
It was Tonks she and the Order had appeared five minutes too late as usual. Hermione pulled Harry to his feet. Harry stood and saw that Tonks was holding someone and struggling under their weight. Harry recognized the boy as Draco he also saw that he was dead. He stared at him for a moment before rushing outside, the Order followed close behind him.
Harry looked around desperately amongst the bodies of stunned or bound Death Eaters and found what he was looking for; Lucius Malfoy was sitting on the ground, his legs stuck tightly together. Lucius looked up and saw Harry glaring at him
"How could you?" Harry said dangerously "He was your son"
"I have no son!" Lucius spat.
At that Harry raised his wand and killed him. Harry stared at Lucius's lifeless body for a moment before falling to his knees and crying. Hermione came up and knelt behind him, Harry turned round when he felt her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and saw the concern in her eyes and then he put his arms around her neck and cried into her shoulder.
