Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

A/N: well nobody voted and I did wait a couple of months so I made up my own mind. So read and review.

Chapter Five:

Neville staggered forward as he lost all his energy and dropped to the floor losing Harry in the process. He lost consciousness as the mist around him cleared and everyone at the edges of the battlefield saw the true cost of the war.

"NEVILLE!" Hermione screamed running over to him and turning him over to see him close his eyes. "MICHAEL!!!"

"Yes?" He replied running over to her quickly seeing that she was holding someone in her arms.

"Get him to hospital immediately." she handed her friend over to the medic before turning around to see the rest of the carnage around her.

The ground was scorched black and in the distance a body could be seen lying still in the centre of the circle they stood in. Someone else had obviously seen it because several people had crowded around it and were now gasping alternately. Heading over she saw why.

"Hermione he's dead! He's dead!"

"Who?"

"you-know-who!"

"WHAT!" She ran over and stared ion shock at the man who had caused her and her friends so much pain and misery. "he's…he's dead?…wait where are his arms?"

"What?"

"His arms their gone, where are they?"

"Behind you!" A voice sang out, she turned around but nobody was there.

"Hello?"

"Hello!"

"Where are you?"

"Behind you honestly do I have to repeat it."

"Why cant we see you?"

"Because I'm dead…or am I?"

A/N: ok review if you dare…or if you want a cookie…
