Voldemort is Defeated

Harry led his party towards Voldemort, dodging nasty and evil looking curses all the time. They countered this by producing shield charms in such a way that the group appeared to be completely surrounded by them. When one person felt a little tired, then they would rotate with another who was in the middle of the huddle. This allowed for only a split second gap in the cover, and it worked most effectively. Harry blasted a hole which was out of Voldemort's line of sight which gave them a few moments relative quiet while Harry discussed plans and battle tactics.

"Me and Hermione are the only ones who can even have a hope of defeating Voldemort, so don't try anything stupid" Harry told them.

"That's rich coming from you" Ernie joked.

"Whatever" Harry said. "What we need is a distraction to let Hermione get close to old Tom Riddle. Anyone got suggestions?" he asked.

"I do" Hermione said, raising her voice to be over the sounds of the fighting going on all over the grounds. Aurors had arrived and had help to slow the advancing Death Eaters, but still they kept on coming. "Why don't you do this yourself?" she asked him.

"I know it is terrible to ask, but I need you to fight Voldemort for a few moments so that I can apperate behind him and give him the greatest shock in his miserable life" Harry said. There was a pause as he fell silent for a moment. "We're going to have to kill him" he added.

"We all accepted that fact" Susan said. "Because it is our way" she added.

"And It was the cross that was assigned to us as soldiers in this war" Hannah finished.

"Sailor Moon?" Harry asked them both.

"We're fans" they both said at the same time. Harry smiled despite the situation, and then saw Neville suddenly having an idea.

"I remember watching the thing called a film at a muggle cinema" Harry's fellow Gryffindor said. "There was planes flying and shooting the ground. What if we were to do weak versions of blasting hexes so it throws up a cloud of dirt? Voldemort would be blinded by it for certain" and Harry understood what he meant.

"Sounds like a plan" he agreed, and Hermione said she would give the idea a chance to work. Hermione was surprisingly agile and fast as she went over the grounds to meet Voldemort and she stood in front of the most evil man after Adolph Hitler.

"Ah, Miss Granger" Voldemort crackled evilly, "You come to fight me?" he asked.

"Have nothing else to do with my time" she said, buying time for Harry. She knew that he had to wait for the right moment so she did her best to trade spell after spell, but he was simply too powerful for her. The spell caught her on the chest and she was thrown back and into the ground. Her back ached from the impact, but she dragged herself up enough to see Lord Voldemort towering over her.

"I would have liked to have enjoyed your body, but it seems that I have more pressing issues" Voldemort said.

"Like fighting me?" asked a raven haired wizard standing behind him. Voldemort turned to see…

"Potter!" he hissed.

"That's my name, don't wear it out" Harry said, and threw a curse at Voldemort which made the dark lord stumble backwards. "Get out of here" Harry said to Hermione, pulling her to her feet.

"I'm staying" she said, "And don't bother to argue with me" Hermione added.

"Alright then" Harry said, and the two started attacking Voldemort, but it was an even match whatever happened. Even using the spells he had learned during his time in the Void didn't help Harry all that much - Voldemort had to have learned about it somehow.

"He's too powerful" Hermione cried to Harry as they dodged a killing curse. Harry looked at Hermione, and gazed into her loving face which had returned to its normal state upon Harry's return.

"Make sure my wand arm is pointing towards Voldemort" he said.

"What?" Hermione said, confused as to what Harry meant.

"Just do it" he told her firmly, and then stepped calmly into the path of a killing curse. The force of the Unforgivable was so powerful it blasted him several feet, and Hermione rushed over to him but knew it was too late to do anything. Harry was dead and so was the chances of defeating Voldemort.

"Harry!" she sobbed, "No no no no noooooo" she continued as Voldemort crackled manically at the sight. Hermione numbly followed Harry's last order and put the arm with his wand still in it pointing towards the closing figure of Voldemort. As she did so, Harry winked at her and she suddenly knew that this was all an act to trick Voldemort.

"Putting Potter's wand towards me will not save you, my pretty" he said coldly. "Perhaps I can enjoy your virtue before Potter ever had the chance. And then I will kill you… so sad" he said, not really meaning it of course.

"Guess again" Harry said and Voldemort stopped in his tracks in fear. "Adavra Kadarva" and a burst of green energy burst forth from Harry's wand and struck Voldemort in the chest and slammed him backwards. The others who had been watching what had happened came running over to see close up for themselves that Voldemort was dead.

"Is he?" Neville said.

"Only one way to find out" Harry said, getting to his feet helped by Hermione. He flicked his wand at a rock which transfigured into a small pistol. "This ends tonight" he said and pulled the trigger. The bullet sped out of the gun so that only Harry and Ginny – both seeker trained – saw it, but everyone saw the skin on Voldemort's forehead erupt in a cascade of red as the bullet buried itself into Voldemort's brain and mangled what was left of his brains. At the same time this happened, all over the castle grounds, the Death Eaters screamed and fell to the ground completely and utterly dead. Silence reigned over the grounds as a quiet air of grim satisfaction entered everyone's minds.

"And so ends the Second Dark War" Luna said.

"Was you expecting fireworks?" asked Hermione.

"No… but I was hoping for something more dramatic" Luna said dreamily.

"It might not be dramatic, but I have a good idea for something that will come quite close" Harry said, but refused to say anything as to what it was. Dozens of people came rushing over to them all demanding to speak to Harry, but the boy would only speak to his friends, and McGonagall who was now the headmistress after Umbridge had deserted her post in the middle of battle. Harry had hushed words with her for a few minutes and it ended with McGonagall nodded and hurried away.

"What's going on?" asked Hermione.

"Nothing nothing" Harry said lazily, then turned to look at Hermione and the clothes she stood in. "What is your dress size?" he asked with a straight face.

A/N:

Well now that I am finished on "Harry Potter True Friends", I am now able to complete all existing fics. Thank you to everyone who has been faithfully looking at emails everyday to see if I had added a new page. Here is your reward.

The next chapter will have something totally happy and joyful, and the clue is in the last line from Harry. Anyone want to hazard a guess then they are welcome to do so.

The Sailor Moon quote is from an actual episode, so if you can guess it correct and state which two said it, then you may appear in the next chapter as a cameo
