The Man Who Vanished
By An Orc
Voldemort stood gloating in the courtyard of Hogwarts, Harry a crumpled figure in the rubble.
"Kneel before me" shouted Voldemort in his high, piercing voice.
Harry struggled to his feet and drew the hawthorn wand, and across the courtyard Voldemort stared
"You're dead" said Voldemort angrily.
"Not yet" winced Harry, and they both cast spells. Voldemort 'Avada Kedavra', the killing curse mad Harry 'E – '
'Evanesco' the vanishing spell.
The green bolt shot towards Harry, and faded away, the faded nothingness shot back towards Voldemort, and in the blink of an eye he was gone. The gnarled white wand fell to the ground with a clatter, loud in the suddenly silent castle courtyard.
'Accio wand' cast Harry and the wand shot across the courtyard into his hand. He put the hawthorn wand up his sleeve and casually said, the tip of the white wand to his throat "Kneel!"
His voice boomed around the courtyard, and the Voldemort's forces stopped, staring at where there leader, the greatest dark lord ever had just… vanished.
Then, after a moment hesitation, they all started casting vicious spells towards Harry and the battered defenders of the castle, while the spiders and werewolves ran towards the defenders.
Harry sidestepped, cast a shield and started retreating.
"Harry!" yelled Ron "I really thought we had them there for a second"
Harry ducked behind a shattered stone statue "I was hoping that too" he shouted.
Neville ran past, towards the attackers flailing the sword of Gyffindor and holding a small magical shield up with his wand.
The first werewolf clawed towards Neville lazily, but the sword nicked their outstretched arms, and they fell, screaming and writhing "It Burns!" the werewolf yelled.
The second werewolf shied off from Neville's sword swings and one of the castle defenders hit it with a yellow curse that dropped the ragged man.
An Acromatula jumped at Neville and was impaled on the sword. Neville was trapped under the spider but still moving. Harry saw from behind the statue, where he was firing gouging spells at the enemy army.

Everyone agreed that Harry Potter had defeated the dark lord Voldemort, in some mysterious magical interaction, after all, the vanishing spell isn't a weapon. It doesn't even work on people.
Neville's courageous attack with Griffindor's sword had showed the battered defenders they could fight back again, and they had prevailed.
Ginny Weasley walked across the rubble-strewn great hall of Hogwarts to Harry, who was sitting on a battered bench.
"The vanishing spell" she said, and crossed her arms "You used the vanishing spell?"
"Everyone expects me to use expellairmus every time" said Harry "And it worked."
Ginny rolled her eyes "You, Harry Potter are ridiculous" she said.
"Man who conquered" said Harry with a wink.
"Man who vanished" said Ginny "You stupid prat, what if it hadn't worked!"
"But it did" said Harry, smiling a crooked smile "Don't I get a kiss?"
"You could have used summitum fulgaurs" said Ginny "And shot lightning into him. That would have been good for the history books."
"I uh, don't know that one" admitted Harry.
Ginny looked sideways at Harry "How many spells do you actually know?" she asked.
Harry counted on his fingers "Nine" he said nodding "And I think I can do the protection ones Hermione's been doing on our camp"
"How do you ever pass any exams" said Ginny, frustrated "Come to think of it I've got more magical education than you"
"Only some of the fourth year stuff" said Harry defensively "I learnt accio really well"
"How am I supposed to be a self-respecting witch if my husband only knows nine spells?" asked Ginny.
"I can cook" offered Harry.
Ginny sat down on his lap "Are you implying the way to my heart is though my stomach?" she asked.
"Seems to work on most Weasleys" said Harry, and Ginny kissed him.
"Ginny!" yelled one of the twins, running over "It's mum."
Ginny turned her head away form the snog with Harry "Is she going to – "
Fred shook his head "Bellatrix LeStrange got her. She's dead Ginny. Mums dead."
Ginny went stiff as a board, sniffed, and sighed "Well, Harry, you've got a job to do" she said seriously.
"What" asked Harry.
"Get back to the Burrow and cook dinner" she said "I can't cook, I suppose Hermione could... "
"God no" said Harry "Ron made her cook for a year, she's at breaking point. Having ingredients will make it easier."
"Harry you could have cooked" said Ginny very crossly.
"I don't know the food multiplying spell" said Harry apologetically "I can only cook muggle."
