Firstly, Thank you Philosophize, Anotherboarduser, Artur Hawkwing 1, discb, Onyx Obsidian, Nigelcat1 and Saki-Hime for your encouragement... Lots of love to you guys...

Secondly, Philosophize, the term only requires "The one who was forced"... No add-ons... I don't think Narcissa had been forced to join back when she was young and becoming a death eater was a trend. But Draco was a form of punishment for the Mayfoy family. I don't intend to show Draco as a hero here. I just want to convey his one action to show that he didn't support Voldy in the end... That's all...

Ok, here comes the next chapter.. Hope you guys like it...

Again, I do not own Harry Potter. I'm just a fan...

Draco Malfoy stepped forward and stood beside Neville and his Godfather's body. McGonagall gestured towards Hermione to take over the podium. Harry nodded his encouragement and Hermione smiled at him. She stood at the podium and cleared her throat.

"Many of you must have heard the tale of the three brothers. For those who're not aware: there were once three brothers who tricked Death's plan. With evil motive, Death granted each of them a gift. The eldest brother asked for the greatest wand, the younger asked to see his loved one who had passed away and the youngest brother asked for a way to go unnoticed by Death. So, Death gave them an Elder wand, resurrection stone and cloak of invisibility. Together they make the Deathly hallows. These three items are real, that is they exist. And Harry is the owner of all the three."

There were loud gasps of surprise and the Great hall burst with loud whispering.

"Please, let me continue... Death is not evil. He's a servant of fate and justice. He wrote a book with instructions to counter the method of injustice imposed by a mortal. Since Voldemort was once a mortal named Tom Marvolo Riddle, this book contains instructions to defy him and humiliate him. We have to perform this task to bring about the Greater Good. So, who's with me?"

Without a moments hesitation, the whole Weasley clan(minus Ron) stepped forward. Then slowly, the Great Hall cheered their encouragement.

"Thank you all for your support. I can guarantee that this will not disappoint you. Now, before I start, I must inform you about Professor Snape. He is the bravest man of Hogwarts. He did not kill Dumbledore; it had been planned."

Everyone looked at Hermione as if she'd asked them to tango with acromantulas. She quickly summoned Snape's memory and projected it on a big white screen she conjured. She showed them the part where Dumbledore planed his own death and also the part where he helped Harry. Realization dawned upon the audience and they looked at Snape's lifeless body with respect, some even shedding a tear or two. After giving them time to digest the information, Hermione spoke again.

"Now, let's get this done with. Love is the most powerful of all magic. Think about all your loved ones, the ones who have sacrificed their lives for our better future. I'll need all the emotions for this to be successful..."

Hermione stepped down from the podium and walked towards Voldemort's body. She summoned the resurrection stone and put it on Snape's dark mark. She scraped the stone against his skin till some amount of blood oozed out and touched the stone. She did the same with Neville's and Malfoy's wrists and healed them the next moment. She then placed the bloodied stone on Voldemort's forehead and started muttering some spells. She asked Harry for his invisibility cloak and placed it on Voldemort. She made some complex wand movement and with a final 'swish and flick' ended the ritual. The next second the elder wand snapped into three pieces and the stone turned to dust. The cloak was the only hallow that remained intact. Hermione stood inhumanly still with her eyes closed.

Suddenly she opened her eyes and after analyzing the scene in front of her, a smile formed at her lips. She found Harry standing at a distance and ran towards him.

"We did it Harry! The ritual was successful!"

The Great Hall sighed all at once. Harry let out his breath he didn't know he had been holding. Hermione launched herself onto his ready arms. She looked into his eyes, arms still around each other, their faces centimeters apart. Harry found himself leaning down as Hermione reached up.

"Now, we've truly won Harry. Death has gifted us with..."

"GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF HER, POTTER!"

Everyone turned towards the voice and received yet another shock.

Voldermort was standing with his wand pointed towards the couple. Only those who were nearby noticed the blue eyes in place of Voldemort's.

"Ron?"

"Yes, it's me. I still exist."

"Ron, how did this happen?"

"I don't need to answer your questions. But still, I need to treasure the moment where I know the answer to Hermione Granger's question. Well, I did the same thing you had done with the book. I touched both, the book and the body, at the same time. That's it, enough talking ."

The next second Ron grabbed Hermione, there was a loud crack and he disappeared, along with her and a loud voice erupted.

"Listen, Harry Potter. We are no longer friends. HA HA! But I guess you've figured that out. I now possess a few powers of the Dark Lord. You no longer have the elder wand. Let's see how you win against me. You have twenty four hours to try and take Hermione from me. If you fail, you'll never see her again..."

"NO! HERMIONE! NOOO!"

There was no use shouting. Harry felt helpless. He didn't know what to do. He hid his face in his hands and tried to think. The whole castle came to a standstill. Everyone looked horrified. Mrs. Weasley started sobbing uncontrollably. Mr. Weasley shook his head and started muttering, "that's not my son".

"We never thought Ron could ever do that."

Harry looked up to find George standing next to him. "Don't worry Harry, we're with you. We won't rest until we find her. We owe her big."

Harry wanted to thank him but almost stumbled backwards at what he saw.

Mrs. Weasley let out a surprised scream as everyone noticed...

The George standing next to Harry had two ears...
