Harry had the elves contact the staff he knew he could trust, and in small groups not to raise suspicion, every last kid was smuggled from the school. There were a few who they knew would fight for Albus, and they were now in the chamber of secrets, till this was over. Harry wouldn't allow any kids to be killed, and he knew even those who would support Albus, would be used as human shields by Albus. The loyal kids had been smuggled to Hogsmeade through the room of requirements or been taken into the woods, by Firenze. The ones in the woods were the older ones, ones who wanted to help fight, and bring Albus down. Many of them had friends and even family who had been killed in Albus' bloody coup, and demanded their chance to fight.

Harry's men and the students were decoys, he was using them to draw Albus' troops from the school, and it was working perfectly. There was not much of them, a few dozen and only a hand full were aurors, or any who had real skill of any kind.

Albus was moving through the school. "Where is he? Where is the little brat?"

Harry's voice came to him. "Oh are you missing me Albus? It has been a long time."

Albus turned around and he heard wolves, come charging up the stairs, and knew they were not his own. He put up a powerful ward, but he knew it would only old them so long, and he needed to move away from them. He needed to bring down the little fool; the only thing holding together all these troops was the brat.

He roared."Come out and face me you spineless little whelp. You will die at my feet screaming like a baby, like your husband."

He heard a flutter of wings and there was a sense the entire roof had turned to bats. "Oh but this is so much fun. You were always a man for games Albus."

The man was not a fool, he knew Harry was leading him to exactly where he wanted him to be, and he could do nothing about it. He could make no light with wand or wandless magic, and he knew there were elves in the school, and he would not be able to do too much magic around them. He had no idea where he was being led, until he found himself on the top of the astronomy tower, and not alone.

While the screams of his men who were being taken down left and right down below, filled his ears, he turned to face both Harry and Severus. He didn't know why the other man was there, not knowing of course of their relationship, or Luna's words. He assumed it had to do with Lucius.

Albus sneered at them both. "Your little elves and other allies will not save you, I will bring you down once and for all, you little brat."

Harry smirked and with barely a blink of an eye he had Albus' wand. "You are a fool if you think you even know what I have become."

There was no need for a wand, he had don wandless magic since he was a teen, and this was Harry Potter. He may call himself a mage, but he was no Voldemort, he was not immortal, he did not have decades, he was barely twenty three years old. He would show the little twit. He would make the child scream for mercy like his useless husband had, before he killed him. He would dangle both their bodies from the tower when he was done.

Harry knew the fire ball was coming even before Albus knew he would cast it, and easily deflected the fire ball. He shielded Severus from it, but he caught it in his hands and juggled the fire like a kid's toy, showing Albus what a joke his powers were. He shot it back, in a series of little pellet size fire.

Albus managed to deflect most of it but he was soon pinned to the wall, his clothes burned off, but skin not touched. "You can't do this."

Severus stepped forward and smiled. "Why? You made sure to pass that cute little bill that in time of war, any spells are legal."

Harry cast a spell to keep the man conscious as Severus castrated him fully, reminded of seeing his husband, and thought Albus was lucky. Oh he was in pain, but his was quick and merciful, not the butchering Lucius had taken, and he had a child, Lucius' baby died.

Harry moved towards him. "You were never much of a man, but I will destroy you, for all the lives you destroyed, you shall fall."

Albus tried to move away from him. "I will never stand trial, I will escape and you will pay for all of this."

Harry put his hands on either side of the old man's head and he went into his mind, and did what no other human could do, cut the man's magic off. Other men survived, but Albus had long lived well past he should have, because of magic, and he crumpled dead to the ground. Severus took Harry into his arms, and Harry for the first time he could remember, he knew there was a future, there was a chance for real peace.

He watched s the elves took the body. "All of his victims, from him and his corruption of Riddle, are finally avenged. They finally have their justice."

Cornelius Fudge who had come out of hiding when Kingsley was dealt with, and other members of the ministry came to the school. All members of their world who could come, had come, and were gathered on the grounds. The body of Albus and his men had been sent to London, to inform the ministry that Albus had been defeated, and to summon them to the school. Part of Harry was scared, he remembered what the people did last time, but he was not a child to run again.

The Order stood by him this time as he came before the others, and though there was some fear, he also saw respect oddly enough from them. Harry watched as the others bowed, and he was shocked when Cornelius offered him the mantle of minster.

Harry spoke. "I don't seek to lead, I never wanted power, and I am not the monster Albus called me. I was a child who fought for you, a child."

Cornelius spoke. "Then what do you want from us?"

Shaking his head, even now they seemed to think he had done this for himself, and not for them. They had listened for so long to the likes of Albus, that they actually could still believe he was not on their side. He wasn't even sure why he tried any more, these people would never change.

Amelia oddly spoke, not the order. "Even after all Albus did, you believe his lies? Harry has twice proven his loyalties; he deserves our thanks, not our fear."

Harry didn't think it would work but a chant went up and he spoke. "What I want is simple. I want the world of peace too many good people have died for."

The time for ideals and dreams were not over Harry realized, they had just been on hold. As he watched the celebrations that night, he thought of his dad and Draco, and knew he would be there for their baby. He knew he would remain, he would see his husband's dreams for this world achieved, making the world bright again for his new sibling and hopefully for kids of his own. He would rebuild the Burrow, the WWW for real and the Quibbler would be reborn, and life would go on.

When Severus found Harry just before morning, he was at the top of the charms tower, looking down on the parties below. He slipped an arm around Harry, not certain he was not in part worried Harry would go join his husband.

Harry knew his mind. "No, Lucius will wait. There is so much left for me to do. And for the first time in five years I see dawn on the horizon."
