Lord Voldemort smirked at the boy sprawled at his feet, and raised his wand to cast the final curse. The words were on his lips…
"It's time to go, Tom." A young woman was walking toward him, seemingly undisturbed by the chaos of battle.
"Who are you?" Voldemort demanded.
"You needn't have bothered," the woman said. She stooped to plant a kiss on a bloodied corpse. "Everyone comes back to me in the end."
"No," Tom whispered, suddenly understanding. And that hesitation was all it took.
Death grinned as the world faded around them. "Now, was that really so hard?"
