Note: I do not own 'Harry Potter'. I do own my own characters. I hope you enjoy and like I said, it's all posted before I left on vacation...


The days got warmer as spring descended onto Hogwarts. The castle was quiet as there were no Death Eater attacks and students were looking forward to the last task. All exams but O. and N.E. had been canceled. I had been attempted to pose as the new Minister to cancel those but instead I let it go because the grades meant a lot for future careers.

George and I met up a few more times to blow off some tension together. While I didn't feel it or any anxiety from knowing my death was imminent, he was worried enough for the both of us. When we were alone, he wanted to hold me close as if to remember what it was like.

"This is our last night together," I told him.

"Why? Sick of me already?" he joked as he twirled a piece of my hair around his finger.

"The task is the day after tomorrow. I'll be spending my last night with everyone."

"Then you'll be gone. Why isn't anyone else going up against him?"

"No one else can. This has been destined since before my birth. George, it has to be this way. If I don't, a lot of people will die. People I love."

I had never seen a Weasley son cry but I held one that night while he cried in sadness, frustration, and anger. I had not shed a single tear for my death because I had the choice and I opted for the right one.

I skipped out on classes and headed to Gringotts. I spoke to the goblin in charge of my vaults. It was unheard of but he obliged. My two vaults were divided between Sirius, Remus, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, the twins, Ron, Ginny, Neville and his parents. I had instructed the goblin to mail out the new keys to day after my death.

Dumbledore had made the announcement that the 3rd task would be the next day and reminded the champions to be at the modified Quidditch pitch by 6pm. I pulled all my friends to Ron and Neville's dorm room and we hung out. George looked to be on the brink of tears again but one look from me kept him from crying.

"You should get some sleep, Arya. Tomorrow will be a crazy day," Ron said.

And my last, I thought as I stared at the Weasleys and Neville.

"She plans on dying tomorrow," George cried out suddenly.

Dean and Seamus had just come into the room but quickly left to leave us be. I glared at the twin and begun pacing.

"Voldemort has had a Death Eater in the school and will use the last task as a way to get to me. I will die tomorrow."

"But you're a mage," Ginny said.

"It's not from a lack of trying. My magic would be enough to kill him if he hadn't taken steps to make himself immortal. He used a spell to split his soul into several pieces and all of the pieces need to be destroyed for him to be truly gone. My mother's death made me a mage but it also gave him an opportunity to use the spell and put part of himself in me. That's why I can talk to snakes, why my scar burns at times, and why I had nightmares of torturing and death. His soul linked me to him."

"But you said it was also the only way for you to die. That a Death mage had to kill itself."

"A normal Death mage, yes, but I didn't want you to worry about the link I had with Voldemort."

"Who is the Death Eater? What other secrets have you been keeping from us?" Neville asked.

"A Death Eater is posing as Moody. I've had my eye on him all year and know that he hasn't done anything. He will get what is coming to him. Along with the other Death Eaters."

I could tell they had other questions but I was in no mood to deal with the interrogation. I used my magic to calm them down and to forget any questions. I got them interested in playing wizard's chess and exploding snap.

I watched from my broom as Moody (Crouch Jr.) placed the Triwizard Cup in the maze. It didn't matter but I knew, I felt the magic coming out of the maze. The cup had been altered.

I ate my last meal in the Great Hall with my friends and family. Sirius, Remus, Frank, Alice, and the other Weasleys showed up to cheer me on. I spent time with them like any other normal person would do. I indulged in Mrs. Weasley's hugs and Mr. Weasley's questions about Muggles. I showed Bill, who I just met a cool spell to help with curse breaking. I did warn him that it'd drain him temporarily so to only use it if absolutely necessary. I answered Ginny's questions about boys and told her a few spells she may be nervous to ask her mum. For the twins, I handed them my invisibility cloak and the Marauder's Map.

"Ron, Neville. You'll always be my best friends and I love you dearly."

"If you did, you won't die."

"If I don't, he'll come back. Here. You have the same book as each other. If you want to add anything to it, it'll duplicate it in the other book. I've included a few cool spells that you may teach Ginny when she's older. There are two other things but I didn't dare give them to you now. In my trunk, there are two packages. You'll be able to figure out which is for you. Just know I'll be looking out for you and if I see you doing anything stupid, I'll do everything in my power to come back and kick your arse."

"Champions, to your spots."

I quickly hugged everyone and headed down to the bottom near the entrances to the maze. I bid farewell to McGonagall and Snape before standing next to Dumbledore. Crouch Sr. was there and he began the announcement.

"Ms. Potter is in 1st place so she'll have a 5 minute head-start in the maze before the others will join her. They'll be tested in many ways. If there is any need, send up red sparks and one of the professors will retrieve you. Good luck, champions."

I turned to Dumbeldore and looked into his blue twinkling eyes.

"It ends tonight. I will deal with the Horcruxes, the Death Eaters, and Voldemort. You will know when it's done. Every wizard in Britain will feel it. The real Moody is locked in his trunk."

"What do you plan on doing?"

"Killing Voldemort and act as judge, jury, and punisher for the Death Eaters. They will still need to be brought to Azkaban if the Wizengamot deems it so but they will be what they've always despised. Muggles."

"Are you planning on coming back?" he asked.

"Not in the traditional sense. And, sir, don't ever think you can meddle in someone else's life like you did mine. I will still be around and if I see you playing God again, I'll take you out at the knees. Got it?"

The canon went off so I entered the maze. I transformed the robes into more comfortable Muggles clothes. I waited for the canon to go off again and when it did, I apparated through the surrounding wards to the second place champion Viktor. I stunned him and waited. The canon went off for Cedric and Fleur who were both tied for third place. I grabbed Viktor's hand and apparated us to the others. Both immediately raised their wands.

"Listen. The cup's been turned into a portkey. If any of you touch it, it'll take you to Voldemort and certain death."

"Why should we believe you?" the French girl asked.

"The only person dying tonight is him and me. Besides, Cedric knows I wouldn't lie about this. When you wake, you'll be safe and they'll do this task again. Fortunately, it'll be a fair task as I'll be gone. Now sleep," I said as I stunned them.

I left them behind a bubble shield for protection. I sent up the red sparks and apparated to the cup. I gazed on the gold cup, the etchings hitting the light just right before I grabbed a hold of it. Instantaneously, I was taken to a graveyard. I sent the cup back with a message of where I was and when to collect my body.

Before he had a chance to come out of wherever he was, I called up my magic and sent out a country wide summoning charm.

"Impressive magic, Potter."

"Why thank you, Tom. Oh, and Wormtail. So nice to see you again," I sarcastically said.

"Bind her to the statue, Wormtail."

"Have you no idea how fucked you are right now? I'm sure Barty Crouch Jr. has told you that I'm not some little girl anymore. Look at what you've become. You're not even a person, a wizard. You're just like an infant. A semi immortal infant. You know what? I'll grant you one more thing before I kill you. I'll turn you back into a man. That way I'm not sickened when I look at you."

I waved my hand and the thing in Wormtail's arms grew and filled out. I used the memory of Tom Riddle from the Chamber of Secrets as the basis of what to make him look like. I gave him proper Slytherin robes and waited as he felt himself up.

"Now shall we talk about how bad you've been or fight?" I asked.

I let him grab his wand from Wormtail before sending a Cruciatus curse his way. He dodged it so I sent it again but in 3 different directions. One of them hit him but I didn't hold it long. I sent a bludgeoning hex at his leg and another at his wand hand.

"Don't you go anywhere, Wormtail. I'll be needing you soon."

I froze the traitor to a statue and focused on Voldemort. I could feel the Horcruxes coming to me. I knew it wouldn't be that much longer.

"I am Arya Potter, Death mage. I am the Girl Who Lived. I am the Chosen One. I am the one who will kill you. I am the one who willingly dies so others may live," I yelled.

I sent numerous curses, hexes, and spells at Voldemort until his blood, his so called superior blood, stained the grass. The items I summoned fell at my feet and his brown eyes widened when he saw them.

"Wormtail, come," I called as I levitated him to me.

I touched his Dark mark and sent a pulse of magic through it. I could imagine every marked Death Eater screaming and twitching on the ground where they fell as their magic was stripped away. I watched as the Dark mark on the traitor's arm started to bleed. I added a touch of something just for Wormtail. I stepped over his twitching body as it started to shrivel up on itself.

"This ends now. I will destroy you Tom Riddle."

I froze the Dark wizard and placed the other Horcruxes on his chest: a ring that belonged to his father's family, Slytherin's locket, the lost diadem of Ravenclaw, a golden cup of Helga Hufflepuff, and his petrified snake Nagini. The diary had been destroyed for a few years now but I still placed it on his chest.

His eyes looked up at me and watched as I conjured up the Gryffindor sword. It was only fitting as we had one item from the other Founders.

"May you go to Hell and burn. Maybe I should make you feel the torture you did on innocent Muggles day after day for eternity. Maybe I should let you live but as a vegetable and let Muggles take care of you. You don't deserve to experience any feelings even pain, sorrow, and helplessness. You don't deserve someone to look after you and care for your well being. You don't deserve anything but death. You are nothing, Tom Marvolo Riddle."

I used the tip of the sword to cut through one of my wrists and magically made it cut the other. My blood spilled over the Horcruxes and Voldemort's body. I could feel the Dark magic in the items fade.

"With my blood and death, you die. Everyone will be free to live."

I magically plunged the sword deep into his heart. When the last bit of his soul leaves the Horcruxes and the blood stops flowing through my veins, he will die.

I may have had to die to kill the bastard but no one else will have to suffer because of him. With my sacrifice, I rid the world of a plague racked with torture and death. With my sacrifice, I am now free.


Note2: For those reviews that I got, yes George and Arya had sex...and sorry Arya had to die...that's why it's titled Sacrifices...See ya!
