A/N: So, here's the chapter containing the actual battle! I know I haven't been cluing you in on what's happening at Hogwarts, but if it were important, it would be in the story. Anyway, RR!

disclaimer: i do not own Harry Potter or any characters, however there are a lot of made up spells in here, which I did make up

Harry laid on the ground, Voldemort standing over him laughing, hopelessly watching the girl he loved more than anything being trapped by the enemy. He couldn't even describe how much fear he was experiencing. What would Voldemort do to Hermione? Would he have to become a Death Eater? No. He couldn't.

Voldemort laughed, noticing how hard of a decision Harry was having to make, and was obviously pleased with himself. Hermione screamed louder than ever, and Harry felt his heart being ripped apart. He tried moving his fingers, and noticed he could wiggle them. The spell was wearing off! He grabbed his wand and muttered a spell, pointing his wand at Voldemort, who was watching Hermione. Unexpectedly hit with a spell, Voldemort flew many feet and landed face down on the ground. Harry stood up, while Voldemort was returning to his feet as well. Before Voldemort was completely stabilized, Harry pointed his wand in his direction again.

"Madalascosis!" he shouted. Voldemort whirled around and blocked the spell. Fired up, he shot one of his own at Harry. Harry moved aside quickly, dodging it, and turned on the Dark Lord.

"Oxis lodais!" he screamed. A string of red light shot across the ground to Voldemort and simply knocked him over. While Voldemort was returning to his feet, Harry rushed over to where Hermione was contained.

"Don't worry," he whispered. "I'll get you out. It'll be ok." Suddenly, Harry felt a pang of pain in his side and was sent flying until he hit a rock wall, very hardly. Red dots blurred his vision, and Harry shook his head until he could see clearly again. He stood and fired a shot at Voldemort, who reversed the spell right back at Harry.

"Boldario!" Harry shouted, blocking the spell just in time. He then ran behind a long wall of stone, hoping to catch his breath before returning to the battle.

"Come on out!" he heard Voldemort shriek. "Face me like a man! At least your mudblood mother didn't run from me!" Harry closed his eyes in pain, and held his arm where he'd smashed into the wall. "If you don't come out, I'll kill this bitch!"

Harry's eyes shot open and he appeared quickly from behind the wall.

"Don't you fucking dare touch her!" Harry yelled in a firm voice. "Marcadasti!" This time, a blue line shot across the ground to Voldemort, causing him to fly into a group of his Death Eaters.

"You want us to help?" one of them asked.

"No!" Voldemort hissed. "This is between me and the Potter boy." Voldemort rose to his feet and waited for Harry to run up to where he waited. Harry stood a few yards away from Voldemort, the two staring each other directly in the eyes.

"Why are you trying so hard, Harry?" Voldemort sneered. "Are you trying to prove something?"

"I want to rid the world of you," Harry replied sternly. Voldemort smirked.

"Then let me kill her," Voldemort demanded. Harry stood completely still.

"Never," he stated shortly. "You won't be able to kill her."

"Why not?" Voldemort asked.

"For the same reason you couldn't kill me," Harry answered. He was worn out and could tell Voldemort's power was getting low. He knew he should only need one good blow with the most powerful curse to finish him off; Dumbledore had told him so. Voldemort still wasn't fully capable of fighting like he used to be.

"You killed my mother and you killed my father," Harry began slowly. "Now go to Hell you fucking bastard." Harry raised his wand and screamed "Avada kadavra!"

Harry closed his eyes, holding the curse to Volemort, his scar burning as if his head were going to split in two. His ears were filled with the sound of his scream and the high pitched scream of Voldemort until, suddenly, everything went black.

A/N: Sorry it wasn't as long as I'd planned it to be. I hope you liked it though! I know it wasn't the greatest battle, but I think you'll all like the next chapter! RR!
