I have gone into hiding after the last chapter, nothing has changed, and I still don't own any of this except the idea.

Chapter Sixteen – You are under arrest

Harry turned over and pushed the body of a red head off of him, Ronald Weasley was dead.

Harry then looked at Bellatrix, his eyes glowed a brilliant emerald green. "It is time to take you down bitch," he said in a quiet voice.

'Bombarda' 'Sectumsempra' 'Diffindo' 'Stupefy' 'Serpensortia' 'Reducto' Harry chain cast quickly, giving Bellatrix no options but to dodge and move from the overpowered spells.

"Wrap yourself around her, stop her from moving," Harry hissed in Parseltongue to the boa constrictor he summoned.

As Bellatrix dodged the last spell she was about to taunt Harry, when she felt the snake quickly wrapping itself around her body.

"Stop you stupid snake," she shrieked then she looked into the eyes of Potter and felt fear.

"You took Neville's parents away from him, you took Sirius away from me and now I will make sure you can do no further harm," he growled at her.

'Accio Bellatrix's wand' he said and then threw it on the ground and broke it with his heel.

"Time to die," he said, 'Accio Bellatrix's heart.' The snake that Harry had summoned exploded as Bellatrix Lestrange's still beating heart exploded out of her rib cage and through it.

Snape watched Potter kill Lestrange in horror and shock, and then quickly left to report what had happened. The remaining Death Eater's seeing the battle was lost grabbed emergency port keys and left the survivors to their grief and misery.

Harry's rage faded when he turned around and saw what had happened while he fought Bellatrix.

Ron was dead, saving him from the killing curse. Molly and Arthur Weasley were dead; Arthur had been impaled from behind while trying to save his wife from being tortured to death. Molly had been subjected to four cruciatus curses at once, sending her past insanity to death. Then he saw Charlie Weasley holding Ginny. He ran over and looked into her soulless eyes.

Later Harry would find out that as Ginny had stopped a Dementor from attacking Charlie, one had snuck up behind her and then kissed her.

Harry stood there in shock as he felt Hermione wrap her arms around him and hold him while she cried.

Their grief was interrupted when an Auror walked up and said, "Mr. Potter you are under arrest for use of a killing curse."

Those in the Order and the remaining Weasley clan looked at the Auror in shock. "What are you talking about," Minerva McGonagall asked in a barely concealed tone of contempt and anger.

"We were sent here to arrest Mr. Potter for his use of a killing curse last night," Dawlish said with a sneer. "And after witnessing the way he stopped Bellatrix Lestrange I have no doubt he did it."

Harry looked at Hermione and then said in a quiet voice that everyone could hear, "You were right Hermione, the Minister would use it to his advantage."

He then looked at the remaining Weasley and said, "I am sorry for your loss."

He nodded to the Order members and the Headmistress, then said to Dawlish, "Tell the Minister to enjoy his remaining days in office."

Dawlish was about to stun Harry, when suddenly the world went pitch black.

"Stop them," he shouted.

Several Aurors cast spells into the blackness, when they finally could see again; there was no sigh of Harry Potter or Hermione Granger.

"Alert the Minister that Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are fugitives and should be considered armed and dangerous," Dawlish said to Smythe.

He nodded and disapparated to face the Minister's wrath.

In Little Hangleton someone else was about to feel his Master's wrath.

"Severus," Voldemort said with a hiss. "How did the attack go?"

"It went well my lord," he said. "The blood traitor parents were killed as were several members of the Order."

"Good," he said while stroking Nagani. "Where is Bellatrix?"

Snape gulped and wondered if he should have killed himself instead of Dumbledore as he answered, "Potter killed her, my lord."

"WHAT?" the dark lord screamed. "How did he kill her," he asked his eyes burned with rage.

"He summoned a snake to hold her and then he summoned her heart from her chest," Severus said fearfully.

'CRUCIO' Voldemort shouted as he cast the curse on Snape.

Severus cried out in anguish and wondered if he would survive his Master's anger.

After 30 seconds under the curse, Voldemort stopped and said quietly, "Potter will pay for killing my most loyal of servants."

Harry and Hermione were holding each other on a couch in Godric's Hollow, crying about their friends deaths.

"Hermione, you need to get away from me," Harry said with a choked sob. "You'll be next, Voldemort will kill you."

Hermione held onto Harry tight and whispered, "I'm not leaving you Harry, Voldemort can try, but he is not getting rid of me."

Harry looked at her, her eyes were puffy and red from tears of sorrow, her hair was singed from spell fire, but he saw that she would not leave him no matter what came. He nodded at her and they held each other through the night.

When they woke the next morning, Hermione asked, "Harry what are we going to do about the Ministry?"

He sighed and said, "I don't know, I was not expecting such an aggressive stance so quickly."

Hedwig then flew in with the Daily Prophet and Harry took it from her to look at the headlines.

Sighing he gave the paper to Hermione to read.

Potter and Granger at Large

By Alyx Roberts

The Boy-Who-Lived and Hermione Granger have been declared wanted fugitives by the Ministry of Magic.

Spokesman for the Minister Percy Weasley said, "These fugitives must be brought to justice. Their actions yesterday caused the deaths of not only my family, but members of the Ministry and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Potter has been charged with using the killing curse and with the torturous death of Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.

"He could have simply stunned her, but instead he tortured her causing her to experience as much pain as possible," an Auror at the scene said.

A second Auror said, "Potter spoke with a snake and you know that is the mark of a Dark Wizard."

The public is asked if they see either Harry Potter or his accomplice Hermione Granger that they do not approach them. Contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement immediately.

Hermione set the paper down and looked at Harry with sympathy. "What are we going to do Harry," she asked.

He simply said, "We finish this."
