Moving On
Chapter 19
"What happened?" asked Hermione immediately over to George and Fred looking worried.
"I asked Harry to turn him, he said you would know what to do" said Fred trying to get his mind around everything.
"Hurry, find a room along here, I will be back with the potions!" shouted Hermione running towards the potions lab. She grabbed the potions, making sure it was the right ones and making sure she didn't crush them. She turned around and went in the direction she had just come from. She couldn't believe Harry had turned George like that didn't he know how dangerous it was? What if he had been unable to control his blood thirst? Before she hit her head, the potion stopped the blood lust she was thinking like a Muggle again. She hated when she did that, it made her feel stupid, she had to remember the Muggle version of Vampires were far off mark.
Hermione entered the room; George was already on the bed comfortable with Fred sitting beside him as usual. Hermione quickly gave George the pain reliever potions and left the other potion with him - and a warning.
"Give this to him when he's due to wake up which shouldn't be for three days, if he doesn't get it you will be drained dry he will be extremely thirsty. As for the potion that stops people thinking your vampires you will have to ask Severus" said Hermione.
"You are calling him Severus?" asked Fred curiously.
"You know what Harry is like, best not call him anything other than his name, plus I've always only called him Professor Snape unless he made me extremely angry" said Hermione. "I have to go, Harry is expecting us, and I'll see you later".
With a pop she was gone, leaving Fred feeling more useless than ever.

"Harry" said Hermione nodding her head taking her place in Harry's circle. Ron was on her left Harry on her right dead on centre. Neville was on Harry's left with Luna at his other side.
"Is Fred and George alright?" asked Harry concerned.
"Fine" said Hermione glaring at the Dark Lord; this was the man who had taken her family from her. Suddenly it felt so childish to be scared of this man, she didn't know where she was getting the courage but she suddenly didn't care about his title she was no longer scared of him. She wasn't scared of Death she was just scared of loosing Ron and Ron trying to follow her. She was confident that her friends would stop him from doing anything drastic.
She didn't realise this was what Ron, Neville and Luna were all thinking right now while watching Voldemort angrily.
"Well well, well who would have thought it" sneered Voldemort watching the five of them. The place was deserted; he and the other Death Eaters were approaching with caution. That didn't stop them from sending fireballs at the empty shops; Madam Malkin's was one of the ones to actually blow up first.
Their anger was mainly directed at - The Daily Prophet newspaper shop. Voldemort actually sent a big spike of magic at it, causing it to explode into a million different pieces. His anger at the Daily Prophet was extreme; when there was nothing left to explode he turned his attention back to the smirking teens.
"How dare you" snarled Voldemort.
"Dare I what? Tell the truth? That's your own fault Tom, you should not have told me" smirked Harry "That was your own undoing, bragging, cant believe you actually told me you were a half blood and that your father was a Muggle. Too bad you have blown it up; I rather wanted that bit printed out"
"There won't be a tomorrow for you POTTER!" snarled Voldemort.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you" said a voice sneering.
Voldemort turned around, wide eyed when he saw Severus with his vampires the vampires he had brought over to his side. What on earth was going on? His red eyes went dead cold and it was a look that told someone they were going to be in major pain any minute.
"Come here! All of you!" snarled Voldemort. Not one of them moved, above all else all vampires would never allow harm to come to one of their own. Severus knew this and used it to his own gain.
"Lucius?!" gasped Voldemort when he caught sight of the blonde haired man.
"Yes," sneered Lucius proud and tall "We will not let harm come to one of our own"
"Who? I shall try endeavour to not harm whoever it is" said Voldemort thinking he could still get them on his side.
"Why don't you know yet? My, my, my" smirked Lucius his cane at the ready if he needed to use it.
"NO!!!!!" yelled Voldemort, after all those times of getting the vampires on his side, it was all for nothing. He had to kill Harry Potter; there was nothing for it he had to kill Harry the rest of the Death Eaters can fight of the Vampires.
Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry ready to say a curse.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" snarled Remus, thirty werewolves behind him, everyone of the pack apart from Fernier Greyback. Contrary to popular belief he wasn't the pack leader Remus had fought the pack leader and won leadership of them all.
"Or are you forgetting something Voldie?" asked Sirius grinning in glee, nothing had changed he still loved fighting - hence the reason for becoming an Auror James had been the same.
"I will deal with you" sneered Bellatrix glaring at her cousin.
"And I him" snarled Fernier making his way towards Remus.
"You guys please be careful" whispered Harry, looking at each and every one of them. The werewolves and Vampires began fighting the Death Eaters, they were no mach for the Vampires but the Werewolves were not all powerful sure they could crack their bones in seconds but they didn't go fast like vampires and they could hurt themselves it took a while to heal on the other hand vampires didn't feel a thing.
Harry was distracted, the battle of Diagonally was about to start, Harry's friends left his side to join in and get the Death Eaters. They were not being friendly, but they never resorted to using the Dark Arts or Unforgivable they refused to lower themselves to their level and kill someone. Especially if they were going to die at the end of the day, that's how sure that Voldemort would win.
"Poor baby Potter betrayed by the big bad Dumbledore" sneered Voldemort his red eyes glowing.
"If you are expecting me to get emotional and start cursing you first you have another thing coming" said Harry his face not changing at all.
Voldemort hissed "I will kill you"
"Yes, I'm sure you will where is the rest of your lackey's?" sneered Harry staying in his protective circle.
"Waiting my return with news that I have defeated you" they were five feet away both in duelling stances now.
"That's a shame," smirked Harry "Where is your beloved pet?" he had a knowing aura around him knowing it would get under Voldemort's skin.
His eyes narrowed "What do you know?"
"Apart from the fact that Dumbledore destroyed five of them, the other one in me gone there's only one left…Nagini and she is gone Voldemort you should have taken more care of her if you put your soul into pieces" sneered Harry.
"CRUCIO!" snarled Voldemort beyond angry.
"CRUCIO!" "CRUCIO" "CRUCIO!" yelled Voldemort, getting all the angrier when Harry just side stepped his curses as if they were going in slow motion. "CRUCIO!" "CRUCIO" "CRUCIO" "CRUCIO".
"Finished yet?" grinned Harry cheekily.
"AVADAAAAA KEDAVRAAA!" yelled Voldemort at the top of his lungs. Again Harry side stepped it, getting bored now, he thought it was going to be more of a challenge, sighing softly he said to himself get this finished now before someone gets hurt.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" yelled Harry, it hit Voldemort straight on, Voldemort smirked, nothing happened, just like he had suspected, his soul was still intact. Then he began feeling weak, he felt a deep ripping inside his body. It was like the night the boy had defeated him at the age of one and a half. With a screech he tried to apparate away but nothing happened. If he was going down he was determined to take someone down with him.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" yelled Voldemort aiming it at Hermione; he was astonished when nothing came out of his wand. It dropped to the floor with an almighty thud in the silence of Diagonally.
Most of the Death Eaters fell to the ground, including the vampires; everyone stopped fighting watching it with detachment. Lucius was the first to stop screaming, the dark mark rose up into the air before slamming back into Voldemort causing him to scream an almighty screech.
"No! I'm watching" snarled Severus when Sirius tried to get him away. He had killed Bellatrix, she had ducked from his cutting curse which ended up serving all her veins in her neck. she had bled dry in a few minutes, she was hardly aware of what had happened. Sirius didnt like that, he had wanted her to suffer for all the pain she had caused.
It was obvious it was from the longest time they had the mark on until the newest. Severus didn't get his turn of pain and the mark removal for a good five minutes. The rest of the werewolves were making sure none of the Death Eaters were able to escape or hurt anyone.
Harry stood over a screaming Voldemort the first time he stopped screaming Harry said to him "You made a big mistake going after my parents; it's a mistake you're never going to forget. I would have walked away if you hadn't killed my parents, this wasn't my war, the fact you killed my parents made it mine" a look of anger and disgust at Voldemort.
"They screamed like babies" snarled Voldemort, riling Harry up so Death could come swiftly for him. He didn't know how much he could take, this was torture.
Remus killed Greyback there and then, before making his way over, no one told lies about his bestfriends, not to him nor to his cub like that. However, there was no need Harry came back with a witty reply of his own, Remus beamed in pride he couldn't have put it better himself.
Harry smirked "I hear what happened when Dementors get close Tom, I know my father asked my mum to run and my mother didn't scream for her life she screamed for you to spare me"
The anger on Voldemort's face was comical Harry looked at the disgusting man lying in too much pain to get up. "How does it feel getting a taste of your own medicine?" grinning lopsidedly.
"I bet he doesn't like it," said Hermione "You will regret killing my parents!"
"And my family" said Neville his face a twist of hate.
Voldemort's eyes told them he already did. That done another ghostly skull (Dark Mark) came whooshing towards him from one of the other Death Eater's arm after they die. The screaming started; it got faster and faster until Voldemort wasn't even getting a break. Sometimes two or three maybe seven went in at the same time, there was no way Voldemort was sane still.
Harry suddenly felt woozy, the scar on his head no longer hurt, Neville kept Harry up. The carcase of Voldemort no longer moved, his chest quit moving he was finally gone. "My scar feels weird"
"He's gone Harry" said Neville.
"Someone needs to deal with Ginny" said Harry, "I'm not coming back here in twenty years time to deal with her and a child of Voldemort's"
"I know" said Neville rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Where is Luna?" asked Neville looking around for her suddenly petrified.
Harry looked around too, finally finding her under two disgusting Death Eaters they checked her for a pulse looking petrified.
"WHERES RON!?" asked a petrified Hermione she was paler than some of the Vampires there.
"FIND RON!!" snarled Harry looking at Luna.
"Neville she won't make it, she's too far gone" said Harry wanting nothing more than to cry at this moment but he couldn't.
"Could you turn her Harry? You did it for Fred and George!" said Neville a pleading look on his face.
"Jesus Neville" said Harry feeling stuck.
"Turn her please!" said Neville urgently. "I can't live without her! She's my soul mate!"
"OK!" yelled Harry, turning her, praying he had done it in time, enough time for the venom to reach her heart before it stopped completely.
"She's ok, she's ok" said Harry, lifting her and giving her to Neville "Use the Portkey"
"Harry" sobbed Hermione; she however was able to cry. Remus came over with Ron in his arms.
"Remus says he wont make it" she said her breath trembling as she tried to stop the tears.
"Fred and George will kill me if I don't do this" said Harry wide eyed, so would Hermione by the looks of things. Biting into Ron, he didn't want to loose his best mate either; it would be a boring world would his best pal.
"Sirius get Ron out of here," sighed Harry, "Get him comfortable, where is Severus and Lucius?"
"Gone now that Voldemort is dead, most of the vampires are exhausted," said Sirius.
"I want to thank you for taking part in this battle, you have done a great service of me and my friends I thank you" said Harry softly, "Now I suggest we all leave because I cannot keep the anti apparition and anti floo charms up much longer"
Everyone gasped; he had managed to keep them up this long? They had been curious how more people hadn't come. The people that were portkey'ed away were bound to have been talking. He must be more powerful than anyone realized.
"Everyone will how grateful we are that the vampires and Werewolves joined this battle may this allow you better treatment" said Hermione standing proudly beside Harry. Sure they were worried about their friends/lovers but at the end of the way they were all going to survive and be alright.
"Damn right I will be telling everyone it was the Werewolves and vampires that ended the war, no one will know I am alive" said Harry "So please tell no one"
"What? Why?" asked Hermione looking at Harry with a frown on her face.
"I'm leaving the Wizarding world Hermione" said Harry softly a sad smile on his face.
Hermione was shocked, what shocked her the most was that she was willing to leave this world behind and follow him. Not even a seconds thought and she was ready to follow him, Hermione sighed of course she would she didn't even need to think. Best not tell Harry here, she was going to tell the others and let them decide then tell Harry their decision.
The wards came down.
Diagonally was totally empty, everyone had apparated away, only Hermione wasn't going with the rest of the group she was going to the Ministry. She was the one being left to tell everyone what had happened.
Then reporters spilled in, finding burning buildings, and dead Death Eaters and Voldemort. They flinched away in shock; the red evil eyes were open staring at the open sky very much dead.
