Chapter 12: The Killing Curse

A/N: I received a very nasty review from someone that wasnt very nice. I dont mind people who point out my mistakes, because they do it in a friendly manner. Also I am very open to your opinions, but when you tell me I suck, you got some problems. If you dont like what I wright then dont read it.

Now on to the story.

Harry was sitting in the Common Room with Ron and Hermione waiting for 7:30 to come, they would leave for the Room of Requirement. There was madness in the Common Room however due to Gryffindor's crushing defeat of Ravenclaw. Harry and the D.A. members of Gryffindor were the only ones who weren't jumping about or screaming. At 7:30 Harry and the D.A. members of Gryffindor left the Common Room.

Draco had kept to himself ever since Harry had cast the Cruciatus Curse on him for what he had done with Ginny. After all it pretty much was all his fault that Harry and Ginny had broken up. He was preparing to go to the Quidditch Pitch to watch the game when the fake golden galleon Harry had given him started to burn in his pocket. He pulled the coin from his pocket and looked at it, there was a D.A. meeting at eight that night. He put the coin back in his pocket and got ready for the match.

Harry was standing in the front of the room waiting for everyone to arrive, when Draco stepped through the door he knew that was all.

"First of all, I have a few things to tell you. As some of you already know, the prophecy about me and Voldemort states that either I have to kill him or he has to kill me. So Dumbledore has started to train me, he wanted me to teach you all that he teaches me. But before I can teach you anything, you have to take a oath stating that if the school was attacked you would help me and the teachers defend it. If you take this oath then anything that goes on in here, will stay in here. The Headmaster has placed a charm on this oath, so when you take it, whenever someone tries to get some information out of you, you won't be able to say anything. Only I can give out information about these meetings outside of them." said Harry.

"Know raise your right hand if you want to take the oath, and your left hand if you don't." said Harry. Two people raised there hands, Zach (I'm just going to put Zach) Smith, and Cho's friend Marietta.

"Those who don't wish to take the oath, please leave know." said Harry.

"Those who do, go form a line by Ron and Hermione will place you under the oath, I put them under the oath earlier." said Harry.

Harry didn't stop the meeting until everyone had performed the two spells correctly. At the end of the meeting Harry said, "There will be a meeting every Friday night. But keep the coins on you at all times."

Everyone nodded there heads in understanding then they filed out. Except for one person, Cho. Hermione was probably waiting outside for him, Cho brought him out of his thoughts when she said, "Harry, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure," said Harry.

"I want to start over Harry, I want us to be together," She said.

"Cho I'm dating Hermione know, I'm sorry," said Harry.

Harry didn't expect what Cho did next, she pulled Harry against her and kissed him. Harry was trying to pry himself away from her when the door opened and Hermione walked in.

"Harry? WHAT THE HELL!" Hermione yelled as Cho let go of Harry and stepped back.

"Hermione! I can --" Harry tried to splutter out before she ran away.

Harry looked over at Cho, then turned and ran after Hermione.

Hermione was running, she was running to the Astronomy tower. She didn't want to ever see Harry again, she ran up to the top of the tower where she would probably cry all night. She ran over to the railing and looked out over the grounds, what she saw surprised her. Standing down by the gates, were about 25 Death Eaters. They broke down the gates and ran up the path, She turned and ran down the stairs when she bumped into Harry.

"Harry, the school is under attack!" She said.

Harry pulled out the coin alerted the D.A. of an emergency meeting, then grabbed Hermione's hand and ran to the Room of Requirement.

Harry was standing at the entrance to the Room of Requirement after sending Hermione to Dumbledore's office to alert him of the attack. When everyone arrived Harry told them about the attack, and then led them to the Entrance Hall. When they got there Harry saw that some of the students from Slytherin were opening the doors. They were dressed in Death Eater attire, they wrenched the doors open and the 25 Death Eaters ran into the hall. Harry felt anger rise in him when he heard Lucius bellow orders. He made a bee line to where he was and stood before him and the Death Eaters.

"Well well well, if it isn't Harry Potter," Lucius said.

Harry just stood before him, and raised his wand.

"Look at that, is Potter still mad?" He said.

The teachers arrived at that moment, and fighting broke out immediately. Students vs. Students, Teachers verse Death Eaters.

Harry and Lucius just stood wands pointed at each other, Hate evident in each others mind.

"So Potter ready to meet your parents?" He said mockingly.

"Cruciamentum!" Harry said.

Lucius side-stepped the oncoming curse and said "Crucio!" He said.

Harry was wedged in and couldn't avoid the oncoming curse, "Contego!" said Harry. The Curse shattered the shield, but it didn't hurt as much as it usually did. Suddenly the Curse was jerked off, he looked over to see Dumbledore dueling him. Harry stood and walked over to were they were dueling and stood in front of Dumbledore.

"Harry, move!" said Dumbledore.

"No! I can do it!" said Harry.

With that said a golden dome spread over Harry and Lucius. They both took a fighting stance and the duel started, "Avada Kedavra!" said Lucius.

Harry dove out of the way and jumped up, "Flipendo!" said Harry. Lucius dodged it easily.

"Abscido!" Lucius said. Harry didn't recognize this spell so he thought he take a risk "Contego!" He shouted.

The spell hit the shield and disappeared, "Debilito!" Harry said. Harry saw that this surprised Lucius. He jumped out of the way and whispered something Harry couldn't catch. A blue rope shot out of his wand and it caught Harry off-guard. He was trapped, Lucius pointed his wand at Harry's chest and said "Avada Kedavra!"

This is it thought Harry. The spell flew through the air and hit him square in the chest. Harry knew no more.

"Hahahaha! I have defeated the great Harry Potter!" Lucius said.

EBC

Harry opened his eye's and was looking up at the ceiling, he heard Lucius laughing and slowly stood up. He heard gasps all around him, Harry looked into a surprised Lucius'es face and shot two spells at him. "Flipendo! Avada Kedavra!"

Lucius blocked the first spell but didn't know Harry had shot the Killing Curse at him. It hit him right in the sternum and Lucius slumped to the ground.

The Dome faded away, and Harry stood looking at Lucius'es dead body. Harry looked up and noticed that everybody was staring at him.

"Harry, go up to my office," said Dumbledore.

Harry nodded and looked in Dumbledore's eyes. Disappointment was evident in them. Then he realized what he had done, he was a murderer, a killer. He was no better then a Death Eater know.

Harry walked up the Grand Staircase and looked back and caught Hermione's eyes for a moment. She had shock and disbelief written all over her face.

There's that chapter, that really wasn't what I meant to happen in this chapter but it will still work out.
