Harry Potter and the Delightful Dilemma

By: Sheltie

I don't own Harry Potter

A/N: okay, this one will be the second to last chap. I think I'll add an epilogue at the end of this one. Hope you like what I've done the final battle. It was a long, long, long time coming.

Chapter 19

Harry stretched as he finished his last O.W.L he was then joined by Luna who began massaging Harry's back. A habit she seem to take up when Harry got stressed with studying.

"Thanks Luna" Harry said with a sigh.

"Of course Harry, you have a very nice back so why shouldn't I want to touch it" Luna said.

Harry chuckled then let out a groan as Luna found a tight muscle and began to work it.

Fleur and Penny were keeping an eye on the whole Gringotts deal while the others did their O.W.L's. They just gotten a letter from the bank letting them know that the last Horcrux had been found and eliminated. And were awaiting payment.

Little by little did the rest of Harry's ladies come filtering in looking exhausted. They all collapsed into the chairs and sofas that were around the fireplace.

"Merlin, those things are nightmares" Susan grumbled.

"I agree" Padma said.

"Well now that is done with we just have a dark lord to take care of then we can spend the summer to lounge on the beach" Fleur said.

"But how, how are we going to draw Voldemort out?" Susan asked.

"We trap him. He's been sending me images of the Department of Mysteries. I saw we use his own trap against him" Harry said.

"Harry that's quite dangerous, and you know that he'll have his most trusted Death Eaters there" Hermione said.

"I know, but we won't be alone. Susan contact your aunt and we can work something out" Harry said.

Susan nodded and began writing a letter.

/Scene Break/

Amelia looked a the letter she got from her niece and sighed. She knew about the Horcruxes due to being informed on all fronts from Susan.

Seems Harry doesn't want to waste any time she thought.

/Scene Break/

In a room that Hogwarts provide, which the Potter ladies decided to call the War Room. In the War room was Harry, his ladies, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Bill, Charlie, Neville, Lavender and Amelia.

"Are you sure about this pup?" Sirius asked.

"I am Sirius. I want to get this over with. I know some of you think that I am jumping the gun, but I think this is the time to do it. His Horcruxes are gone and he doesn't know that. It's the perfect time. He won't be expecting it. Besides, he's been planting these images of the Department of Mysteries in my head for a while I think. So we just use this against him" Harry said.

"I am still unsure about it" Sirius said.

"Don't worry. Amelia will have it all set up. Say it's a covert operation to weed out Death Eaters or something. We know Voldemort would send his best to make sure everything goes fine. We just counter it by have all the aurors Amelia trusts along with everyone one we can gather" Harry said.

"You do realize that this is a risk Harry. What if Voldemort doesn't show?" Remus asked.

"He will when he realizes that his followers have failed" Harry said.

"But how are you going to-" Remus asked, but was cut off.

"The ladies, well, Luna has something planned to keep Voldie from escaping once he arrives" Harry said.

"Auntie, do you have the fake prophecy in place?" Susan asked.

"I do and I am recruiting my best aurors as we speak" Amelia said.

"Good, now this is what we're going to do" Harry said.

Before them was a blueprint of the Ministry provided thanks to Amelia. They worked out their plan going over each variable there was. There was nothing left to chance. This had to work.

/Scene Break/

Harry arrived in the Ministry with Hermione, Daphne, Neville and Lavender. It was decided that they would be the ones to be the first. The rest of the ladies along with their allies were hidden. The group made their way down the elevator to the DoM and to the Hall of Prophecies. Once they located the 'prophecy' Harry grabbed it.

"Nicely done Potter, now give that to us."

The group turned to find a group of Death Eaters in full garb.

"Lucy, fancy meeting you here. I didn't know Halloween came so early" Harry said with a smile.

"Oh, baby Potter acting so brave" Bellatrix crooned.

Neville gripped his wand tightly as he heard the mad woman's voice. Lavender had to grip Neville's arm to keep him still.

"Give us the prophecy Potter and you won't be harmed" Lucius said.

"Yeah, like I am going to fall for that" Harry snorted.

"Enough of this. Accio prophecy" Bellatrix said.

Harry felt the orb try to leave his hand, but he tightened his grip and it stayed. He signaled his friends and soon they cast spells making all the other orbs in the aisle they were in explode causing dust and whatnot to blanket the area.

"Seize them, we must get that prophecy" Lucius ordered.

Harry and his group ran to the spot they had designated as their battlefield. It was a large area of the Ministry atrium. They were able to make there since they learned the quickest route possible. They soon took their positions.

"Harry" Amelia said.

"On there way. Twelve of them. Voldie's finest" Harry said.

Amelia nodded. She had briefed her aurors beforehand and told them to take down the opposition with force. This wasn't a time for stunners.

Soon the twelve Death Eaters appeared.

"Where is he?" Lucius asked.

"Come out, come out wherever you are Potter" Bellatrix sang.

"NOW!" Harry shouted.

Soon the Death Eaters were surrounded and being attacked at all sides. They dove for cover and soon a magical fire fight arose. Spells of all sorts of deadly nature flew through the air.

The numbers against the DE's weren't good and they knew they had no way of escaping. It seemed the portkeys that they all carried weren't working. This was planned ahead of time by the fighters. They didn't want a single Death Eater to get away.

Harry felt a shiver and knew what was coming.

"He's on his way" Harry said.

In shroud of black smoke that would look awesome in any goth rock concert Voldemort appeared. He looked pissed. He deflected several curses.

"Hey Tommy boy, been waiting for you" Harry called.

Voldemort seethed as he fired a killing curse at Harry. Harry dodged it easily.

"Nice try Tom, but no cigar" Harry taunted.

Voldemort cursed as he kept firing hex after hex at Harry. Unknown to him he was being led to where Harry wanted him. Soon they were in position.

"Luna, now" Harry said.

Luna appeared and tap a stone and a barrier came up. Harry was locked in with Voldemort.

"Are so eager to die Potter that you'd trap me in here with you?" Voldemort asked.

"Nope, just want to make sure you couldn't escape" Harry said.

The fighting around them was stopped as they watched the confrontation. This was also the time that the floos came to life and Ministry workers started appearing. The Minister came in wearing his night clothes.

"So Tom, shall we get this over with. I do have a life and several lovely ladies I want to get back to" Harry said.

"It will be over soon. I look forward to seeing your lifeless body Potter" Voldemort sneered.

Harry and Voldemort began firing spells at one another. Thankfully for Harry he had gotten a second wand so he could fight against Voldemort.

Around them they just watched. Fudge was sputtering as he tried all his might not to believe what he was seeing. Dumbledore appeared and tried to leap into action only to get knocked back on his butt. So he watched helplessly.

Neville though took this chance to finally take out the witch that stole his parents away from him. Lavender followed since she wasn't going to let Neville's back go uncovered.

This also had the other Potter ladies move in and take out the other Death Eaters. The Death Eaters were so stunned watching their lord fight that they didn't even put up much of a fight. There were a few scuffles, but since the ladies had the element of surprise they were over quickly.

/Scene Break/

Neville though wasn't as fortunate as he faced off against Bellatrix with Lavender behind him.

"Oh little Nevie poo wants to fight" Bellatrix crooned.

Neville glared at Bellatrix and a second fight began.

/Scene Break/

Back in the barrier Harry was dodging another lethal curse from Voldemort.

"Can't keep running from me forever Potter, admit defeat and I might make your death painless" Voldemort said.

Harry was panting. He had cuts all over and his left arm was screaming in pain due to taking a bludgeoning hex to it. He knew it was broken.

Voldemort was a bit tired too since it has been a long time since he's fought like this. Most of his enemies fled from him or he disposed of them quickly. But not this one. He was having to fight and it was wearing on him.

"What's wrong Tom, not getting tired are we?" Harry asked.

Voldemort growled and fired off another killing curse. Harry dodged it and fired back with a hex of his own.

/Scene Break/

Dragging the last of the Death Eaters they were able to stun and bound the aurors placed magic inhibiting bracelets on for a safety measure. They were now being guarded by the aurors.

"Shouldn't we help Neville?" Parvati asked.

"No, Lavender's with him and this is his fight" Fleur said shaking her head.

So they watched on as the two fights continued.

/Scene Break/

Bellatrix was cackling away as she fired off another dark curse at Neville. Neville rolled out of the way. He was tired, but he wasn't going to stop til he killed this maniac. He had to, to avenge his parents. He then saw out of the corner of his eye Lavender doing something. Before he could act Bellatrix spun around.

"Crucio" the mad witch shrieked.

Lavender fell to the ground screaming in pain as the torture cure hit her.

Neville froze for a second hearing Lavender's screams. It then lit a fire under him. How dare this bitch harm his Lavender. He wasn't going to let this crazy psycho bitch take another love one from him.

Bellatrix ceased her curse and grinned madly.

"I haven't had so much fun in ears. It feels so good hear such screams again. Let me hear them again" she said.

But before she could reapply the torture curse her head was gone. Neville fired a powerful spell that caused the insane woman's to explode. The body fell to the ground and Neville ran over to check on Lavender. Parvati, Penny and Susan raced over to help.

/Scene Break/

"Hear that Tom, you're loyal servant Bellatrix was killed. Your greatest Death Eaters are captured. You have no one" Harry said.

"I am immortal Potter, you can't kill me" Voldemort boasted.

"You talking about these" Harry said.

He then threw out the diary, a cup, and necklace.

Voldemort's eyes widened. It couldn't be. He had safely secured his Horcruxes so how could Potter find them?

"You're mortal Tom and it's time for you to go" Harry said.

Voldemort was enraged as he charged at Harry firing every spell he knew. Harry felt a weight in his hand and saw it was the sword of Gryffindor. He then heard a voice in his head.

"Let me guide you Lord Hogwarts. No spell shall get through."

Harry wasn't about to question this and with practice ease used the sword to deflect every spell coming at him. It looked like a sight from a Star Wars movie of the lightsaber deflect blaster shots. Harry then dodged and rolled and then thrusted the sword through Voldemort's chest. You could see it coming out the back.

Voldemort looked shocked at this.

Harry pulled the sword out and thinking about all of his ladies along with the others he held close he swung the mighty blade beheading Voldemort.

The barrier then came down and Harry was about to collapse when he was held up by his ladies.

"Potter, what is going on here?!"

/Scene Break/

Harry sighed as he rested in bed. He was thankful that Amelia was taking over the talking since he really didn't want to deal with it. Sirius was helping Amelia with it. So here Harry was surrounded by his ladies as they kept guard over him. No one was going to get through them.

"I must speak with Harry."

There was a collective groan since they knew who this was. It was Dumbledore.

"Tell Fleur and Penny to let the old man through, he's never going to stop" Harry said.

Susan nodded and went to the hospital door to let her sisters know.

Soon Dumbledore came striding in with Fleur and Penny beside him to keep him in check. They knew they couldn't take Dumbledore, but they'd try their hardest to slow him down.

"What do you want Dumbledore? I've finished the job and just want to relax" Harry asked.

"Harry, why didn't you come to me. You needed my help to defeat Voldemort. You know that you only just delayed him" Dumbledore said.

The ladies all looked at one another and wondered just how screwy Dumbledore was. He was there. He saw Harry kill Voldemort.

"I killed him Dumbledore. I cut off his head. He has no Horcruxes left to keep him tied to this world. He's no more" Harry said.

"Harry, Harry, Harry. My boy you have no idea what rituals he had performed on himself to be immortal. He shall return. The fight isn't over. The prophecy has yet to be completed" Dumbledore said like a grandfather chiding a grandson.

"Have you totally lost it old man. Harry beat Voldemort. He used a power Voldemort didn't know. It was love. The love he has for all of us" Daphne said.

Dumbledore looked at Daphne with twinkling eyes.

"Miss Greengrass, what Harry was destroyed Voldemort's container. He's still out there" the old wizard said.

That signaled it. Dumbledore had totally lost it.

/Scene Break/

News of Harry defeating Voldemort hit the papers. Pictures of the final blow was on the front page. There was multiple celebrations everywhere. The paper went on detailing every single thing that went on. There was no time for a cover up. The news about the Death Eaters captured was big since there were prominent pureblood families. But it was Harry's statement of not allowing these killers any mercy fired everyone up. There a vast agreement by all and a change was in the air.

/Scene Break/

Neville sat by Lavender's side as she was still getting over the effects of the Cruciatus curse.

"How are you feeling Lav?" he asked.

"I've felt a heck of a lot better Neville. I am just glad it's all over" Lavender said.

"Me too. Harry has offered us a chance to get away from all the media" Neville said.

"I am all for that" Lavender said.

Neville chuckled and kissed Lavender.

End of Chapter

A/N: and that's the end of this one. I will put up an epilogue to this since I said I would. Sorry to those who think this was a crappy ending, but I just wanted to get this one done and still try to do it as good as I could and this is what I could come up with. I am pleased that I've finally finished though. A big weight off my shoulders with this one pretty much done. Now I got to finish Three Wives. Thanks for reading and please review.
