AN: Alright. It's the chapter you've all been waiting for. The big battle. I know. One more chapter after this, and It's all over! -tears up- My goal is to have over 250 reviews by the time this story is over, which I am so close to. So, any review will mean a lot to me! Here's chapter 43.

Chapter 43: We're Already Dead.

There was chaos and spells flying about in 12 Grimmuald Place. Dolohov had already been injured, but was still fighting. The Order was praying for some kind of miracle. Sure, they could fight the Death Eaters, but, they couldn't fight them forever. Even Lord Voldemort himself was there. He was dueling against Mad Eye Moody.

Kingsley Shacklebolt had already been slayed, and Goyle was dead as well. The sparks from the wands were blinding to the eye. The Aurors showed up, and began to participate in the battle.

"Crucio!" Lucius shouted, aiming at Remus. Tonks quickly pushed him out of the way, and they both fell to the ground.

"Thanks." Remus panted. Tonks smiled. They both got up, and began to duel with Lucius again.

(AN: meanwhile)

Four demonic creatures flew over the London sky. All the homes seemed motionless, and asleep. Except for one. That home was 12 Grimmuald Place.

"What?" Hermione gasped. "I thought they wouldn't..."

"Oh! They would." Harry huffed.

"I think it is time, Mr. Potter." Dracula said softly.

"Yeah." Harry said. "It's time to end this. To end everything once and for all."

"We need a plan." Hermione spoke. "We can't just go in there and be noticed."

"What are you saying?" Ginny questioned Hermione's intentions.

A smirk played across her face. "We need to do this with stealth. They'll never know what hit them!"

Ginny replicated this smirk. "Just leave Lucius Malfoy to me. I want revenge for what he did to my parents! "

"And leave Voldemort to me!" Harry declared.

"So it's settled then." Dracula's silky voice was hard among them. "We end this tonight, with stealth."

The vampires all nodded, and made their way to 12 Grimmuald Place. They entered through Harry's room, and arrived at the staircase. They glanced down at the battle. Ginny saw that Lucius was cornering her brothers Fred and George, along with Rudolphus Lestrange.

She dematerialized, and reappeared right Lucius. She was close enough to take his scent. He smelled of death and cologne. Just as he was about to cast another spell, Ginny thrashed at him.

Lucius felt himself being hurtled backwards. Ginny slammed him against the wall.

"Woah!" the twins gasped in unison.

Lucius turned to see Ginny Weasley standing beside him. She picked him up swiftly by his shoulder.

"Remember me?" she hissed, exposing her fangs. "Remember who you took away from me? I hope you do, because It's the last thing you'll remember!" Before he could react, Ginny sank her teeth into the elder Malfoy, and drank all of his blood. Once she was done, she threw the corpse aside.

"Is that...you?" they asked.

Ginny nodded, and became flustered for a moment. She then helped them fight.

Hermione used her combative skills to assist Tonks and Lupin, who were defending themselves against Augustus Rookwood and a newly recruited Death Eater.

Dracula and Harry went to find Voldemort, Dracula going behind the Dark Lord, knowing Harry wanted to finish him off. Voldemort twitched his neck once he gazed on Harry(AN: kind of like he did on the train station in the OOTP movie). The room stopped fighting. It was what they were waiting for. All eyes were on The Chosen One, and the Dark Lord.

"Well well well. Harry Potter." Voldemort snickered. He noticed that Harry's wand was away. "We duel for the last time."

"No." Harry said. He threw his wand down. Gasps of shock were heard around the room. "Not again."

"Foolish boy!" Voldemort exclaimed. "You refuse to duel for your life?"

I'm already dead...Harry thought.

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort cried. A green light hit Harry in the chest. The Killing Curse knocked him to the floor, and it appeared to everyone else that he was gone. Only Hermione, Dracula, and Ginny knew better. The Order was anything but pleased with the supposed outcome. The Order, Aurors, and Death Eaters pointed their wands at each other.

Voldemort snickered, and turned around to his remaining Death Eaters, and noticed the corpse of Lucius Malfoy. There were two circular wounds in his neck.

"Do not mourn, dear Order." Dracula said. "For it is not over...yet..."

Voldemort finally faced Count Dracula. "So you were behind that!" he pointed to the corpse.

Dracula shook his head. "No. Miss Weasley is."

Everyone turned to Ginny. She glared back.

Voldemort faced Dracula once again. "I knew you would, Vladislaus. I knew you would turn against me..."

"You harmed my Hermione, Tom. That's when you crossed the line!"

While Voldemort and Dracula were bickering, Harry slowly got up, and crept behind Voldemort. Dracula could see this, and acted like he wasn't there, silently noting his presence.

"You're done for, Tom! It's over!" Dracula laughed(AN: like he did in Van Helsing after the whole Hollow speech)

"No It's not. I killed Harry Potter."

"No! I did, before you even got the chance to..." Dracula declared. "And I killed Hermione Dragomir, and Ginny Weasley."

Harry hesitated slightly. He was going to drink Voldemort's blood. It was bad imagery, but it had to be done.

"Because you see." All the vampires said in unison. "We're already dead."

Harry didn't waste any time in sinking his teeth in Voldemort. The blood was bitter-sweet as it entered his mouth. It seemed as if no one believed this was happening. It felt good to Harry. He was getting back at Voldemort for ruining his life, and slaying his parents. Once Harry was finished, he trembled, still startled that he drank Voldemort's blood.

The good guys apprehended the remaining Death Eaters, knowing that The Chosen One finally vanquished The Dark Lord.

AN: Please Read and Review. Chapter 44 up ASAP! I might make it to a 45th chapter, depends on what happens in Chapter 44...
