Does a story truly end. Not really. We live in our own story that has many parts to it. Our toddler years turn to adolescents, who then become teenagers, which evolve to adulthood. Each step we take lead us to a milestone in our life. Milestones that we create. Goals that we feel are important to accomplish in our lifetime. Eventually when that final day comes. Where we are no longer part of the conscious world. We will be remembered by our friends and loved ones. Be remembered by the type of person we were. Remembered by the accomplishments that we may have set out in our lives. Millions of stories are being created everyday on this small planet that we all share in a very large universe.

The Death Eaters left the Room of Requirement as they cautiously crept through the hallways. The very same hallways they once transversed in their youths. The leader motioned for everyone to stop as he peered around the corner. He was being cautious as it would not do any good if they were to get caught right now. They had to meet the Malfoy heir so he could tell them where the headmaster was. As they approached an intersection of the castle where many of the hallways met. A flash bomb went off disorientating the castle intruders. Another small bomb went off causing the entire area to go into darkness.

"Quick get out of here! It's an ambush." One of the Death Eaters yelled as he ran down a hallway.

Each Death Eater as they neared a hallway were compelled to run down it to get out of the area. A few minutes later, the intersection cleared out as the Death Eaters were gone. Each one running down a different hallway.

((((((SedMai))))))

"I'm going to kill that kid when I get my hand on him. He obviously told somebody we were coming here today."

Alecto stopped her brother as she rubbed his shoulders. "Easy brother, no need to get worked up. I'll give you a nice massage when we get back. I do agree though that he must have said something, but it's up to our Lord to give out his punishment."

Amycus relaxed under his sisters ministrations, "Thanks sis, that feels good. I'll take you up on that.."

"EWW Gross, Forge."

"I must agree Gred. That is a little too much sibling bonding."

"That would be like.."

"Gred?"

"Yes Forge."

"Don't go there."

They looked at one another, "Right."

Blocking the hallway was the Weasley twins as they were dressed in identical black tuxes. They had matching gold vest underneath, with gold bow ties. Black top hats sat on their heads as they each had a long umbrella they were leaning on.

Amycus just sneared, "This will be good to get out some of my frustration. Nothing better than to kill a couple of Weasleys."

Alecto just smiled, "I agree. From what I heard, they never finished school. Let's show them how proper purebloods should act."

Without saying another word, the Carrows started firing off spells to end the duel quickly. They were smirking when the twins just stood there. They thought they were too scared to do anything. The smile faded when their spells bounced off the umbrellas that were just opened.

Two stunners were fired back from the tips of the umbrellas, "I must say Hagrid was a genius when he showed us how he incorporated his wand into his umbrella."

Two series of curses were sent towards the Weasleys as they popped out the canopy. The curses ricocheted off back toward the senders. The spells hit the floor near the Carrows causing a concussion blast that knocked them back. They laid on the floor in a daze from the force of the blast. Fred and George strolled up to the Carrow twins. Pointing the tip of the umbrellas to them they pressed a button. A yellowish smoke came out. It didn't take long as two large canaries took the place of Amycus and Alecto. The twins high fived each other.

"Excellent field test. I would say that this was a success."

"A very successful success even. Now I think it's time to end this little show."

The Weasleys, pressed another button on the shaft and rapier type sword quickly emitted from the tip. The canaries started chirping loudly in fright. A final squawk could be heard before silenced enveloped the hall.

((((((SedMai))))))

"What the hell was that?"

"Obviously they were expecting us."

Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange were slowly making their way down the hallway trying to make it to where they were suppose to meet the Malfoy whelp. After the group were forced to split up, the Lestrange brothers felt no need to be silent through the hallways anymore. They were in a part of the castle that was unfamiliar with them. Rabastan was looking around nervously not liking the surroundings one bit. Looking over down the hallway he caught a glimpse of somebody looking like his brother. The figure was smiling and waving to him. Quickly grabbing his brother's attention.

"Did you see that?"

"See what?"

"It looked like, you down the hall, it was waving at us." Rabastan clinged to his brother. A little scared of what he saw.

Rodolphus pushed his brother away. "Get off you idiot." Rodolphus looked down the hallway and didn't see anything. He turned to his brother, and froze. Instead of seeing one, he saw two of his brother. He closed his eyes and opened them again to see two again. He quickly pointed his wand at one of the Rabastan.

"What are you doing? Not me, him." Rabastan was pointing to the other one.

"He's not me, get him."

Rodolphus was having a hard telling the difference between the two men. He watched as one of the Rabastan started trembling as his eyes grew the size of saucers. A wet streak started running down his pants leg. Rodolphus heard a growl from behind him as he slowly turned around. This would be the last thing he saw as a werewolf bit him in the jugular. He could feel the coldness circulate through his body as his blood was pouring and spurting out of his neck. Slowly his eyes started to glaze over. The cracking of his neckbone was the last thing he would hear as his life was painfully extinguished.

Rabastan looked over at himself, as the person turned into a young woman with pink hair. Knowing that his brother was already dead, Rabastan took off down the hallway not even looking back.

"Well that was disappointment. I thought we were going to have this epic battle. Four great duelists going mano y mano." Tonks looked over as Moony was making messy work with Rodolphus. "Hey Moony." The werewolf looked up, "You should take it easy, you may end up with heartburn if you continue." She watched as the werewolf dropped the body on the floor. She stepped over the bits and pieces lying around. "That's a good boy," As she scratched behind his ears. The werewolf crouched down and rolled on it's back. Tonks rolled her eyes, "I'm not scratching your belly here!"

Lucius was not having a good year. Not only was he in the proverbial doghouse with his lord, but his son had to accomplish an impossible task. If he were to be honest with himself, he wished The Dark Lord never returned. His life went completely down the toilet once his master became corporeal. He was powerful, rich and had the Wizarding World eating out of his hands. That was gone now. He just had the dream that if his master took over, he would be rewarded somehow.

Tiptoe through the window

By the window, that is where I'll be

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Oh, tiptoe from the garden

By the garden of the willow tree

And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Lucius looked ahead from where the song seemed to be originating. A girl was skipping toward him. Lucius was licking his lips. She had to be no more than sixteen, just the right age for him. Red and black stockings accentuated a pair of delicious milky white pair of legs. She had a very short matching skirt with diamond patterns on it that if she bend over just a little he could see her knickers. She was wearing a black and red bodice that allowed him to see her ample cleavage and expose some of her midriff. Her face was painted white, with black circles around her eyes and black lipstick. A pair of blond pigtails completed the delicious look.

She stopped in front of him as she looked up with innocent doe eyes, "Excuse me sir. I appear to have lost something."

Lucius just sneered, he was going to help her find something in one of the abandoned classrooms. The little slut was going to get the message drilled into her over and over. Gently placing his hand on her back he started to lead her to a classroom. "Don't worry my dear. Let me help you find what you're looking for."

The girl just beamed, "Oh would you. I've been looking for my Wrackspurt everywhere."

He gave his most sincere smile. He was going to give her his Wrackspurt that's for sure. "Come this way my dear."

The girl stopped, "Silly me." As she took out a little mallet from her cleavage, "It's been here the whole time." Pressing an area on the handle it grew to ten time it's size, "And it so wants to play."

Lucius didn't get a chance to react as the mallet was swung with such force that it killed him instantly, smashing his head. The momentum carried his body into the wall with a sickening crunch. Luna just smiled with spattered of blood on her face.

"What the fuck?" Luna turned and scowled as she saw a Death Eater pointing his wand at her. "What did you to him?"

Luna made a sexy pose, "He wanted to play with me."

"You're dead. First my brother now, Lucius. I'm going to strip the skin off your bones slowly. Do you know who we are! We're Death Eaters! The Dark Lords personal army. You're to fear…"

"Blah, blah, blah, So boring. Do you guys take classes on long winded speeches. Bud! Lou!"

Rabastan heard growling behind him. He slowly turned around to have two. The best description he could give were monsters staring back at him. "Please help me." He whispered, before one the monster chomped down on his wand arm completely severing it. He held his stump of an arm to his body as he started screaming in pain. He was forced to the ground on his stomach as he felt his back being scratched into and bitten. As he felt himself being eaten alive, he finally lost consciousness from the pain.

"Babies!" Both Crumpled Horned Snorkacks looked up at their owner with adoration, "So Cute!" She went up to them and started rubbing their faces. "Please don't get an upset stomach." Slinging her Wrackspurt over her should, Luna skipped down the hallway.

Will you pardon me?

And tiptoe through the tulips with me...

"All he had to do was one thing. If the Dark Lord doesn't kill him, I will." Macnair was in the mood to have a little fun. He needed something to get his frustrations out. His good friend on his shoulder was itching for some blood, and he could do to scratch his little itch as well. Nothing better than young meat to get his motor running. He thought about it. Boy, girl, it didn't matter to him. Just as long as he got his pleasure, and he was in a perfect place for his carnal desires.

"ARRGGHH" Macnair found a sudden pain in his shoulder. Looking at his shoulder, sticking out was a handle of a knife. "Come out! Whoever did this I will kill you." Excruciating pain came from his leg. Looking down another knife handle was sticking out. He pulled out the knives as blood started seeping out of the wounds. He wished he knew some healing spells. He will just have one of his brothers heal him when he got back to the manor.

On instinct he swung his axe as whoever landed behind him ducked. He quickly brought his axe down as the person backflipped out of range. If it wasn't the fact that he was in pain, he would have appreciated who he was looking at more. She wore a very form fitting full body black suit that led very little to the imagination. He looked closer to her face and hair, she looked like a younger version of the muggle animal he had some fun with before he put her down. Then it clicked.

"You're the Granger girl, aren't you" Macnair sneered, "I wonder if you have the same goods as your dear ole' mum. Me and her got to be real intimate, until I put her down like the beast she was."

Looking at the person that killed her mum, she was going to make him pay. This may not mend the hole in her heart, but maybe her mum can be at peace. Getting out her whip, Hermione made a few quick movements of her wrist to cause the whip ends to crack the air.

"Cat's got your tongue missy. You don't really need it for what I have in store for you."

Macnair rushed Hermione with a swing to the neck. Hermione ducked under and rolled to the side as the blade made impact on the stone floor where she just was. Standing up, she threw three knives that embedded into the leg and chest of Macnair.

"Arrgghh, you bitch. Play time is over." He rushed after Hermione as he faked a swing with his axe and instead backhanded her against the wall. She ducked in time as the axe dug into the stone wall, being trapped in the stone wall. She watched Macnair trying to get his axe loose. Using the whip, she wrapped it around his throat as it started constricting his airways. He let go of his axe, as he was frantically trying to loosen the whip so he could breath.

"You call muggles beast and animals. It's your kind who are the animals. And it will be my pleasure to put you out of your misery. It's fitting that a person who takes great pleasure in killing beasts will be put down like one." Pressing a button on the handle of the whip. Tiny razors quickly raised to the surface.

Macnair instantly froze from shock as he felt every little razor cut into his neck. Hermione quickly retracted her whip as the blades cut his neck, severing it from the body. Macnair's head fell off landing on the floor. Releasing the whip, Hermione dropped to the floor. Bringing her hands to her face as she started crying. Crying for her lost parents and innocence.

((((((SedMai))))))

His robes were billowing behind him impressively. The screams coming from the castle were unsettling and he needed to get to his godson as quickly as possible. The Headmaster at least locked down the houses for the night. A movement off to the side grabbed his attention. Looking around, he wished he was paying more attention to his surrounding. The walls and ceilings were covered in vines. "What is going on here?"

"You know. I never really did anything to you. I don't know why you felt the need to make my life a living hell for six years."

"Longbottom? One hundred points from Gryffindor for being a useless squib. Now get out of my way. I have somewhere important to be. I don't need to be dealing your nonsense."

"Harry really wanted to be in my position right now, but I got paper."

"What nonse…" A vine wrapped around his throat.

"You've talked enough in my lifetime. You know for one who preaches about potion making not being appreciated as magic. You would think you of all people would pay attention to herbology. Isn't that right Jr."

Severus was struggling to get the vine unwrapped from his neck, he looked over to the side and found a huge plant with a mouth. He didn't see any eyes, but it definitely had teeth.

"Plants are so misunderstood. We live in a symbiotic relationship, where we depend on one another." Neville rubbed his hand over a vine, "I don't understand peoples need to destroy. Really, it's all about greed." Looking up, "I'm sorry. I'm rambling." Neville went over to the plant mouth started petting it, "Such a good boy, just like your father. Dinner time." A vine grabbed each limb of Severus as he was drawn and quartered. Neville walked away, running his hands over the vines. "So beautiful."

((((((SedMai))))))

Harry was under his invisibility cloak as he watched the Death Eaters emerge from the cabinet. Buffing his fingernails on his coat, he looked them over as he waited for them to leave. Really he couldn't tell who was the biggest idiot of the group. They were arguing with each other on who was going to lead the group. Thinking that the leader of a successful mission would get on the good side of The Dark Lord. Harry just rolled his eyes as they finally made their way to the exit. Not taking any chances, he waited until he heard the door close as he took off his cloak. Picking up his toy remote control truck that had a painted joker face on the hood, he put on a breathing mask as he entered the vanishing cabinet.

Exiting into a hallway, Harry put the truck down, pressing on the remote he drove it down the hallway. He followed the truck as it made it way down. The noise caused Death Eaters to investigate. Pressing a button, a green smoke emitted from the truck. The Death Eaters were caught in the smoke causing them to start laughing uncontrollably. Harry just casually walked down the hallway whistling a tune as Death Eaters were lying on the floor. From what Draco told him, he was approaching the main chamber that Voldemort usually stayed in during the day. Harry looked back smiling as everyone was so happy.

((((((SedMai))))))

Voldemort was in a very good mood. Today was the day that he was going to finally get rid of his oldest nemesis. He for once took comfort in a glass of wine. Yes life was good right now. The doors burst open as he watched somebody with a mask come walking in. He would have blasted the person on the spot if his curiosity didn't get the better of him. He raised his eyebrows as the masked was removed revealing a very if he was to be honest disturbing makeup effect. Looking closer, "Potter?"

"Oh wonderful, It's always good to be recognized for one's talent."

Voldemort watched as he made his way over to the head of the table and sat down. The doors were open and he could still hear his Death Eaters laughing hysterically. "What did you do?"

"I have a saying, if you're going to go. Go with a smile." Harry placed his remote on the table

Laughing himself, "This is delicious. Dumbledores golden child has turned dark. I win. Now I will humor you, of course you're going to die. I must set an example of you." He got up from his throne and strolled over to the other end of the table and sat down. "Why have you decided to come seek out death?"

"Oh, you and I have so much history. I figured I would come and have a little pow-wow."

"So you were hoping to join me."

"Oh gods no. One of us has to die, just on principle." Harry looked over at Voldemort, "You and I are kindred spirits. We went through the same crap as kids. Abused..tormented..orphaned, but at some point a person has their breaking point."

Voldemort laughed some more, "This is too good, I broke Harry Potter."

Harry just shrugged his shoulders, "I wouldn't give yourself all the credit. Most of the blame falls on the doorstep of the White Bearded Old Fool. He's to blame for both of us becoming who we are now."

"As interesting as this conversation has been. Any last requests before you die?"

Harry just gave Voldemort a sinister smile, "One, I can understand going and trying to kill me after you heard of the prophecy. I mean a baby can load some toxic stuff into their nappies, but, you went over the line when you went after Hermione's parents. I was going to offer a live and let live truce, but killing her parents who didn't do a thing to you was a line that you shouldn't have crossed."

Voldemort didn't feel threatened in the least. He's the greatest Dark Lord to have ever lived. A sixteen year old boy couldn't possibly match him in his magical prowess. He was interrupted from his thoughts.

"There was a movie, maybe you seen it. Empire Strikes Back? No, well they put one of the lead characters in a state of permanent hibernation. That got me thinking, you survived, just like me. So obviously you did something so you couldn't die." Harry took out a small little device in his pocket and tossed it to Voldemort.

On instinct, Voldemort caught the ball as it started blinking. A blue smoke came out of the device as it started enveloping him in like a cocoon. "What is this?" As Voldemort stood trying to get the smoke off of him.

"Oh did I mention another movie called Demolition Man. They kept their prisoners in a sort of block of ice. Love them, hate them. You have to admit muggles are very imaginative. And the things that they come up with may be impossible with their current technology, but you add some magic to it. Voila. Night, Night Voldy. Don't let the bed bug bite."

"I'll…." A flash occurred and Voldemort was encased in a crystal block. Harry smiled as he strolled over to the Voldesicle. Snickering, he took out his wand and ran some diagnostic spells. "Yes, in perfect hibernation. Oh, Mmiiinnniionnnsss!" Harry shook his leg to get Dobby off of it. Looking over at Winky she was wearing a black and red checkered leotard with a white ruffled collar. Her face was painted white with her eyes black not unlike a raccoon and black lipstick. Her cowl was reminded him of a jester during the medieval period. Harry nodded in approval, "Like the new look Winky."

Winky bowed, "Thanks youz Master J."

Looking over at his other two minions, they were wearing masks in his likeness. He loved the little guys, "I would like." Harry motioned to Voldemort on ice. Harry thought about it, that could be a good show. Watching Voldemort on a pair of ice skates making sow cows, his skating partner Snivellus himself. Harry started laughing at the ridiculous image. "this to be put in a place of honor at Grimmauld Place. I'm leaving it up to you guys to monitor it daily to make sure he isn't dying or set free."

"As you wish." The three said in unison, before they vanished with Voldesicle. Harry whistled a tune while leaving the room. Making his way back to the vanishing cabinet, he looked around and smiled. He was so glad he was able to put a smile on all their faces.

((((((SedMai))))))

Dumbledore exited the floo stepping into his office. The mission couldn't have been more of a disaster. He was in no way going to drink that crap. The inferi in the water would have posed a problem as well. Next time he will take Harry with him. Even if he went dark, a small sacrifice could be made for the greater good. Sitting down in his chair, Dumbledore almost wet himself with the person sitting across from him. He was so preoccupied that he didn't notice another person in his office. He was a frightening figure, with a painted face much like a Joker on a set of muggle cards. "Harry?"

"Hello Headmaster,"

"My boy, what're you doing out after curfew?"

Mr. J just shrugged his shoulders, "Oh you know a little of this and a little of that. Making Death Eaters pee in their pants."

"Death Eaters?"

"It's a wonderful story, you see it all started with an old goat who thought he knew better than anyone else. We will call Billy. So Billy decided that it's wasn't enough to create one Dark Lord, but let's try with two. You see Billy knew that two boys did not want to go back home. Normal people would get a clue and a half that there maybe something amiss. Why did these two orphaned boys not want to go back to their wonderful homelife. You see Billy thought that everyone shot rainbows and lollipops out of their asses. So the two boys grew up in not so loving homes. One became the most feared wizard to date and the other is having fun figuring out what he wants to do with life." Harry leaned forward and whispered, "I hear it has to do with lots of chaos and mayhem being inflicted upon the wizarding world, but you didn't hear it from me." Leaning back, "So we come to the events of today. There was a plan to kill Billy, by one of the orphans. The other orphan took offense to that since he wanted to be the one to do the dirty deed. So right now, Death Eaters that have stormed the castle have all met a most gruesome end."

Dumbledore just sat there in shock. He didn't really know what to say. "Harry you shouldn't have done this on your own. They needed to have the chance to redeem themselves. I knew once they saw the error of their ways, we could have turned them into productive members of society."

Mr. J, put his hand on his heart. With such sorrow on his face, "If I would have known. I mean I didn't mean to..I was just trying to help." Putting his face in his hands, "What have I done?"

Albus looked on. He could feel the remorse from Harry. "I forgive you Harry, but you will need to atone for the sins you've committed. I don't think you will be able to get out of this situation."

Harry nodded and stood up, "I understand, and willing to pay whatever price I need to." Holding out his hand for the Headmaster to shake.

Dumbledore smiled, standing as well. "You see Ha.." Upon shaking Harry's hand. Electrical shock went through his body causing his old body to go into seizures.

"An oldie, but goody." Harry watched as the old goat was twitching from the shock that only lasted for a few seconds. Harry blew the smoke away from the hand buzzer as he put it away. "Really Headmaster, you fell for the oldest gag." The Headmaster was lying on the floor twitching. "You didn't think I would just let you cart me off to Azkaban. No, no, no. I have special plans. Let's just say you will be my own calling card to the entire Wizarding World." Mr. J, just got a malicious smile on his face.

((((((SedMai))))))

"Thank Merlin you guys came."

"What seems to be the problem Minerva?"

Minerva was visibly shaken, "I can't explain what I saw in that castle. Right now all students are on lockdown with the threat of expulsion if they're caught out." She started crying.

Shacklebolt had never seen the Deputy Headmistress in such a state. "What happened?"

"It's best if and your team just go in and investigate. You'll see what I mean as soon as you enter the castle."

He motioned for his team to follow them as Minerva slowly followed behind. As they approached the entrance laughter could be heard coming from the inside. The wasn't a laughter that was brought on with amusement. This was almost if he would describe it, a psychotic laughter. Entering the castle was a sight that would be burnt into into their minds until they passed on to the afterlife.

Sitting on the stone floor was the headmaster. His eyes were wide eyed and crazy. His hair seemed as if it hadn't been washed in weeks. He had an maniacal smile to him as he was laughing uncontrollably. He was laughing himself insane. Up above him was written.

I finally made him smile.

((((((SedMai))))))

"Didn't I tell you this episode was going to be a doozy. Those deaths were truly a work of art. Now I know it was a little graphic, but you can't have a finale without breaking a few heads."

"Isn't it, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."

"Luna dear, good for you to join us. Eh, tomato, tomahtoe, whatever. Now next episode is our big wrap up show, so expect...What is it Luna? What do you mean the Hippogryph will not wear the tutu. This is a problem. What about the Centaurs?"

"They felt that it was demeaning to do Equestrian Centaur Riding Mr. J."

"The thanks I get. You try and put a show together, Oh well. I always wanted to saw a woman in half. If you should want to volunteer just get in contact kiddies. I will try and not make a mess...on myself. AH HAHAHAHAHA. Toodles, till next time."
