Chapter 9 – The Final Showdown
Hogwarts
September 12th 1995
Harry walked out into the courtyard filled with different colored spells shouts and screams. He watched as a gargoyle crushed a death eater before throwing his broken body of the bridge.
He watched a giant smash a suit of armor to pieces with a tree trunk.
He watched the massacre just glad that it would all be over soon.
He fired a blasting hex at the floor in front of a group of death eaters who were dueling Fred and George sending dust and chunks of rock at them knocking them about before Fred and George stunned them.
"Thanks mate thought we were done for then." George said
"Anytime." Harry said as he dodged a spell and fired three back towards his attacker knocking him through a broken window and out of the fight.
Harry watched as an angel flew down picked a death eater up and dropped him off the edge and into the valley below. Fred just laughed as he screamed the whole way down. "Damn that's a long way down."
"That it is." Harry said as they went back to the fight
It didn't take too long before Voldemort arrived blasting gargoyles left right and center. He snarled as he approached the members of the order as he started casting spells at them.
Harry watched all the different dark spell and because of the knowledge from death he knew what each and every one of them were from the blood boilers and organ melter's to the hart stoppers and strangulation curses.
Harry took a deep breath before firing a few of the darker curses he knew at him.
Voldemort was unsuspecting of someone trying to attack him expecting them to run instead so the spells caught him off guard but he still managed to dodge or shield them all.
"Potter." He sneered
"Tom" Harry replied calmly
"I AM LORD VOLDEMORT" he screamed
"Good for you" Harry replied dodging a bright purple bone exploding curse and firing a simple disarming charm.
"What hope do you have of beating me when you won't even curse me properly?" Voldemort said calmly firing a string of dark curses at Harry
Harry dodged ducked and weaved around the courtyard trying to dodge them all and managed except a cutting curse that left a deep gash on his arm.
"First blood is mine Potter."
"That's alright tom last blood will be mine." Harry replied starkly before firing his own grouping of blasting hexes with a few bone exploders and a blood boiler to keep him off guard
"Ahaha…. Pathetic Potter. Once I kill you I am going to take that blood traitor slut of yours and she will birth my heir." Voldemort shouted with glee
Harry saw red as he blasted apart the floor and banished the debris at Voldemort before firing bone exploders through the dust taking Voldemort by complete surprise.
The whole courtyard heard Voldemort scream as a bone exploder blew his knee cap to pieces.
Once the dust settled they all saw him lying on the ground before he cast the same spell that he did allowing Wormtail his silver hand growing himself a new leg before standing angrily and fired a tight grouping of killing curses at Harry who traveled through lightning horizontally so he stood behind Voldemort before firing a blasting hex at his back.
By now all the fighting around had stopped as people watched the fight in awe.
Voldemort ducked under the blasting hex before firing an organ melting curse at Harry who shielded casually before firing Fiendfyre back at him taking Voldemort completely by sunrise who was forced to fall back to defend himself from the fire. While he cast his water shield he was unprepared for the blood boiler, hart stopper and strangulation curse that came through the flames and hit him dead in the chest.
By the time Voldemort had countered the curses the flames had gone and Harry was already casting again this time a cutting curse the severed the dark lords wrist making his wand and hand hit the floor.
"It's over Tom. Surrender."
"NEVER" Voldemort replied before drawing a second wand and firing a killing curse at Harry who used his wing to block before firing a piecing curse at Voldemort's eye. Normally he would have been able to block without any effort at all but having to use his left arm had his reflex's way out and he was still in pain from all the other damage Harry had inflicted on him.
The whole group watched in an eerie silence at the piercing hex blow a hole straight through the dark lord head blowing his brains across the floor of the courtyard.
"Oops" Harry said before turning his wand on the rest of the death eaters. "Next?" Harry asked cockily.
A few of the death eaters dropped their wand but a few carried on to put up a fight.
The rest of the battle only lasted half an hour most of which Harry couldn't remember it was all just an adrenalin filled mess. He remembered firing all sorts of curses, hexes and other spells. Dropping boulders onto people banishing them off the edge of the cliff face.
Off course the Aurors didn't arrive until the battle was over at which point people were dragging the dead death eaters around while the surviving ones were all tied up and disarmed ready for the Aurors to take them away.
Minister Bones arrived shortly after to see the carnage that was left of the once proud school that now looked like a set of ruins.
Seeing Harry Potter dragging Voldemort's corpus by the foot across the courtyard she walked over to him.
"Mr. Potter." She called out
"Minister" he replied
"Congratulations and a thank you are in order I think." She said
Harry blushed slightly
"Well what are your plans now? I think Hogwarts will be closed for the foreseeable future." Amelia Said gesturing to the ruins of Hogwarts
"Get out of the country until this all dies down." He replied
"I don't think that will be anytime soon." She said
"So long as it's in the next thirteen years I don't care," Astoria said coming up behind them.
Harry looked at her confused while Amelia bones laughed
"Thirteen?
"You'll see." Amelia said "I don't suppose you will stay for an award ceremony? For public moral." Amelia asked
"If it's in the next week. I have things to do like organize mine and the Greengrass's manor to be rebuilt before I go." Harry said
"We" Astoria butted in.
"we." Harry confirmed
Amelia just laughed "okay fair enough. Oh and leave me some way to contact you in case of emergency."
"Will do for now contact ion-hide if you want me." Harry said before smirking at Astoria. "But for now I am off to celebrate with my girl here." Harry winked before they both flashed out of the castle making Amelia smile.
"Ah. Young love." She whispered to herself
"Ah. My dear godson of to become a man." Sirius wailed from behind Amelia making her jump.
"HE'S WHAT?" Paul shouted
Daphne laughed at her father and almost fell over when Sirius obviated him of the last thirty seconds.
"So Mr. Black back to Azkaban with you?" Amelia asked smirking as he palled making everyone watching laugh.
The Ministry
September 17th 1995
The memorial and awards ceremony had gone well, Harry had only had to write a small speech and was happy that he was getting out of there before it got too much, he had received an order of Merlin first class while everyone else got a second class for the final battle.
Luckily minister Bones was a far better minister than whoever had been in charge during the first war and she wasn't letting anyone off with the 'I was under the imperious curse' excuse meaning that the Malfoys were finished. Ron was especially happy about that.
He had been invited to the funeral of Albus Dumbledore but decided against going, not that it was a difficult choice.
Snape was also in Azkaban now but only for a short amount of time as he had been a spy for the order which got him some leniency but not as much as he would like which made Harry smile.
A/N: well that's the end i will be adding an epilogue hopefully in the near future (Y) but hey thanks for reading :)
