A/N: Second last chapter!

Chapter 12 - The End for Malfoy

"Well, well. Pothead and Weasel-Bee," said Draco coldly.

"Yeah, hi to you too," said Ron uncomfortably.

Harry decided not to laugh; it wasn't the time to do that, especially when Ron was already scared out of his wits.

Ginny and Hermione were doing the best to comfort Lavender, but it was a tough job, especially when she kept mentioning how he died and when and what happened.

Hermione pulled Ginny out of the room.

"Did we really think she would just snap out of it and go "yeah I'm over Dean, lets go party"?"

Ginny shook her head, "no, but we're trying."

"Yeah, we are, but it's not working. Do you think she'd rather be left alone?"

"Just for a while, I think, don't you?" Ginny suggested.

"Good idea," Hermione said.

"Funny place to hide out, do you think?" Malfoy asked.

"No," said Harry quickly.

"I knew you wouldn't think so," he smirked.

"Why did you kill those three girls?"

Malfoy laughed a cold, dark laugh. "Leslie Quinn and her friends thought they had me figured out. But I showed them wrong."

"They knew where you were going?" Harry asked.

"Leslie had also lost her mother, she'd been through a tough time, and then when she heard about the murder she knew the place I would go would be to my mother's grave," he explained. "Probably all the people who lost their mothers would be chasing after me if they had the guts, and Leslie and her friends did."

Harry nodded; his thoughts went back to the woman who said she was Leslie's sister. Now she had no mother and no sister. He didn't even know whether she had a father.

The door burst open again. This time Auror's packed the place. Bellatrix, Avery, Malfoy senior and Rodolphus barged in from the other door.

Harry seethed; this was the time to get back at Bellatrix for killing Sirius. This would be the last time he saw her alive.

"Avada Kedavra!" Harry shouted, pointing his wand straight at Bellatrix's chest. She fell back silently, and thumped to the ground.

"You'll pay," Rodolphus shouted.

Meanwhile Ron had taken on Avery, cursing and hexing all the spells he could remember, Avery looked a mess.

The Auror's had taken on Malfoy, and had already brought him down. A life sentence in Azkaban waited for him.

An Auror had helped Harry take on Rodolphus and he now lay dead next to his wife.

Malfoy senior was running upstairs, knocking things down while Draco was shouting at him to be careful because this is where his mother died.

"Don't you think I know that you stupid boy!" he shouted back.

Three Auror's were following him, shouting hexes and curses. He fell and tripped, and being on the third story of his mansion, he fell to his defeat.

He wasn't dead, but he couldn't move as he would definitely have a broken back.

Three months later.

Harry and Ginny Weasley would like you to come to their house for dinner and desert on Thursday night of next week.

Why: To get the family and friends together and to celebrate James' birthday.

When: 5:00 to when ever you have to leave (we would prefer that night though)

Bring: All of your family, including children.

"Harry come on or we won't be ready in time," Ginny shouted from downstairs.

"James, come on, put your toys away, don't you want to see Rachel?" Harry asked his son who had just turned seven.

"Is Rachel coming?" James asked.

"Of course Rachel is coming, it's your birthday dinner," Harry said, smiling at his son. "But she won't come if you don't hurry up and put your toys away."

When they came down stairs Ginny had a glare on her face.

"Couldn't you walk a bit faster?" she asked with Lauren on her hip.

"He was putting his toys away and then when I said Rachel was coming he sped up," laughed Harry.

The night was going to be exactly the same, just like the beginning of the year, but this time without three people.

Malfoy, who had spent his first three months in Azkaban, Harry had visited his three times on his monthly visits. He had spoken to him, he felt kind of bad for him. He had just handled his mother's death in the wrong way.

"She wouldn't be proud of me now," he had said.

Harry had no idea what to say, this made him feel really bad. "She would be proud of you in anything you did," he had said to him.

Malfoy had smirked at him and muttered a word of thanks.

Dean would be missing, but Lavender had accepted the invitation. She wanted to say thank you to Ginny and Hermione for helping her through a tough stage in her life. She hadn't started to date yet, but she said she had met a nice muggle the other day, but they're "just friends."

Padma would be missing, and sorely missed by everyone. Parvarti was pregnant and she had said that if it was girl that she would name it after Padma.

Harry had convinced Ginny to invite Leslie's sister to the party. Ginny was a bit nervous that she was going to mope around and make the party not fun by telling people her sad story. But after a few phone calls, Ginny and Lydia Quinn had become friends and Ginny knew that she wouldn't do that.

A/N: Haha! The bit with Harry and James coming down the stairs was taken from the first chapter. I thought that was nice, you knowing showing that a lot has changed but some things haven't. Please review!
