Chapter 10: Riddle's End
Lily cast shield charm between Death Eaters and their would-be victims, hexed Death Eaters and disillusioned their bodies. But she couldn't save everyone, a giant foot landed on an order member, he didn't move and Lily knew he was gone. But the Death Eaters weren't unscathed, Lily thought she saw a rat darting for the castle, only to be surrounded by her cats, it turns out one of them did eat Peter. Lily was a little sad before he was a Death Eater he Had been her friend.
Time! He thought. Severus Snape left his study and made for the battle. He knew where the snake would be, disillusioned and protected at the back of the Death Eaters group.
A noise made Lily turn; Sev was running through the Entrance Hall, he didn't see her. Lily knew she could stop him now, but she still loved him, even if he didn't love her, she couldn't do it. And then he was gone. She aimed another curse at Riddle, hoping that against all probability it would penetrate his protections. Riddle saw her, saw where the curse had come from, and suddenly a giant sphere was hurtling through the air towards her.
Lily put her hands up to protect her face, Nagini bit down from the inside of her protective sphere. Lily's left hand gushed blood.
Lily Screamed, Severus heard her and ran back to the castle. Despite what she may think I love her more than anything and after everything I'm not going to stand by and let her die. He thought to himself as he sprinted towards the woman he loved.
Lily tried pushing the snake off with her good hand but the sphere wouldn't budge, Lily with both her hands desperate to keep the snake away from herself. As soon as the blood from her injured hand touched the cage it dissolved and the snake fell, Lily rolled away. She stood up, Nagini made to bit her again but Lily got there first. In a flash of gold light the snake lay dead. Its body seemed to collapse as a high Hiss escaped it. The final horcrux was gone all that was left was Lord Voldemort himself.
Lily ran from the castle brushing past someone as she did. She was hexing Death Eaters as she ran, Lily was furious. The ground was littered with bodies and she'd been forced to kill an innocent snake, she loved snakes. .
As Lily blew past him Severus saw Nagini's body, and he knew where she was headed, and she was faster than him. Severus knew he'd never be able to save her, Lily could never keep her mind closed. She would be the Dark Lord's easiest target to date. He ran after her, he could strike first if he was fast.
No! He thought as he caught sight of the Dark Lord, his mind freezing in horror. Lily was duelling Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort continued advancing toward the castle with Antonin Dolohov at his side.
As he stood frozen a jet of gold light flew from Lily's wand and Bellatrix Lestrange fell.
Pure fury radiated from Riddle as he saw his best lieutenant go fall. Lily was just out of his reach but everyone in a ten metre radius of him was killed as the air around them exploded. Including Antonin Dolohov, four other Death Eaters and Fabian Pruitt, who was the only real loss. As it was Lily did get knocked of her feet. Riddle looked down at her and laughed. Lily wouldn't use an unforgivable curse on him, she would not sink to that, so He wouldn't die but it would at least weaken him.
Severus saw Lily preparing to strike, he saw Voldemort preparing to strike. He acted. A jet of silver light left his wand as a jet of red light left Lily's. They combined midair and hit Voldemort in the chest.
Time seemed to freeze and in that moment the castle and its grounds went silent. All eyes were on Riddle as he fell, shock etched onto his face, a cheer rose up from the remaining Order members and students. The Death Eaters scattered tripping over the bodies of their fallen, unseen under the disillusionment charms. Some of the Order ran after them to capture them or just to chase them off.
Lily fainted.
