BEBD: Almost done! The best song to listen to while reading this is the Evanescence song, 'Hello'. This chapter is sad and the music fits well. Final chapter, final breath for some characters! I own the plot and David!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David jumped off the bed and sprinted to the hall. He passed tonnes of death-eaters making their way up to the top of the mountain (they were based in the side of a mountain). The death-eaters would only do that if the worst happened. David panicked as he ran. Hermione was close behind him. He skidded into the hall and stared in horror at the twitching body of Voldemort.

Voldemort was dying. Standing over him were some ministry members, Harry Potter, the entire Weasly family, McGonagall and Hagrid.

"I ask again," One ministry member spat. He appeared to be Cornelis Fudge. "Where is Hermione Granger and David Riddle? We know Mr Riddle is your son, but we want Miss Granger safe. Your son will suffer a greater pain than death if you do not tell us."

Voldemort was trying to protect his beloved son. David felt tears run down his cheeks. Voldemort saw him out of the corner of his eye and said horsley,

"My, son... I love you more than anything. I die so you can live. Run now, take Hermione with you. F-f-forgive m-m-me..." Voldemort stuttered on his last words before drawing his last breath. He closed his eyes and exhaled. He was dead.

"NO!" David screamed. Everyone turned on him, pointing their wands at him. David ran. He met Hermione on the way.

"What's-" She was cut off by David picking her up and slinging her over his shoulder. She saw Harry and Ron running towards them and David running faster.

"David, stop!"

"No! They killed him!" He said, breathing heavily. He reached the roof, where the death-eaters were waiting for him. Lucius threw David a broom.

"RIDE!" David yelled at them. He propped Hemrione on the front and, even though she struggled, she found herself flying away dodging various attacks by the ministry members and Harry.

They eventually stopped in a forest. David held on to Hermione while knocking several times on a tree. A secret door opened and the death-eaters followed David, who was dragging Hermione, with his hand over her mouth.

Once they were inside, he let go of Hermione and broke down completely. He sobbed and lunged out on the walls. They were in a nicely furnished under-ground house. David's knuckles were bleeding and Wormtail started to wrap them in bandges before David pushed him off and did it himself.

"Well this is just perfect!" Snape said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. David stomped over to him.

"Go to hell, you git! My father's dead! That man that cared for me and got me into this situation! Because of his death, that means I'm in charge!"

"I'd rather die than take orders from a weakling." Snape stated firmly. Some death-eaters gasped. Others nodded their heads in agreement. David looked around the room, his blue eyes seeming to have turned red with rage and blood.

"YOU THINK I'M WEAK? THAT'S RICH COMING FROM A BASTARD LIKE YOU!" David screamed in Snape's face. Snape was so astounded by David's rage that he fell back, sprawled on the floor. David lent down on the floor, pressing his wand onto Snape's throat.

"Don't ever speak to me like that again, okay shit pants?" David hissed. Snape nodded and got up as David backed off.

"MINISTRY OF MAGIC, NOBODY MOVE!" A voice came from above. David sprinted over to Hemrione's side to protect her. She was still astounded by David's sudden mood change. His hair was messy, not it's usual nice messy, but mad scientist messy. He seemed to be his normal self around her, but if something annoyed him, he would change, but be the same to her. Wierd. Or did it show his love for her?

"Bellatrix! You were supposed to be watching the door!" He yelled at Bellatrix Lestrange. She cowered in fear. The ministry men, Weaslys and Harry stood before them.

"YOUR FATHER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE IF IT WASN'T FOR HER!" Lucius Malfoy shouted at David quickly. "AVADA KADVA!" he shouted again, pointing his wand at Hermione. He was grabbed by a ministry member after the spell left the wand.

"NO! HERMIONE!" David screamed.

Hermione waited for the cold rush of death. It never came. She looked down. David was sprawled on the floor, face-up. He had taken the spell for her. He was writhing in pain. Hermione fell on him.

"David!" She sobbed, her tears falling on his barely moving chest. He managed to look at her.

"Hermione... live on without me... find someone else. I'll never forget you..." He said, almost as a whisper. Hermione hugged him tightly.

"No, David, there's no one like you! Don't leave me!"

"If I had a choice then I would stay, but I don't..." He coughed up some blood. Hermione wiped from his mouth. David reached up to kiss her for the last time. She kissed him back and she stopped to look at him. He fell back, but she caught him and propped him up with her arms. He smiled and mnaged 5 last words,

"I-I love you, Hermione G-Granger." He fell back and closed his eyes.

His chest went up and down for the last time.

He breathed in for the last time.

His heart beat for the last time.

But his love would go on forever.
