Glad you guys liked the last chapter, but don't worry the story's not finished just yet. Yes I said I'd skip to the battle part but I figured that's a little fast so I'm gonna slow it down a bit and keep going for at least two more chapters after this. Anyway this is where it all comes to an end for the Dark Lord's Reign of Terror, Salena may have a condition but she's far from weak with her magic.

Review!

2 months later:

Salena had left Malfoy Manor two months after Harry and his friends escaped with Dobby the house elf, along with Luna, Dean, and Mr. Ollivander. She wrote Tom a letter stating her illness had gotten worse and she was going to see a special doctor who could help her and that Severus and Draco would watch over her. She had taken Naomi along because unfortunately the illness she thought was a flu of some sorts happened to be morning sickness.

She was pregnant, and past her second trimester. Four months pregnant and right when a large, and dangerous war was about to erupt into chaos; could it have been any worse timing than now? After she'd left the Manor she'd wrote to Severus saying she was going into hiding since Tom's rage had increased after he realized Harry and his friends stole something of his from the Lestrange vault in Gringotts; her belly was only slightly swollen but still noticeable, so to keep her appearance in check she put a shield spell over her stomach to hide the evidence. Frankly though, it was too swollen to be along four months, very curious.

"Mistress, how much longer must we hide here?" Naomi hissed looking up from a couch in the hotel Salena was staying at. They were in Muggle London, the last place anyone would suspect a witch to hide let alone the future Dark Lady.

"Not much longer Naomi, we should be free to leave soon. Harry's gotten closer to killing Tom faster than we'd hoped, and it won't be much longer before we have to play our part in the battle."

"Mistress…what will happen if the boy fails to kill Tom?"

"What do you mean?"

"Not that I'm doubting the boy's ability or anything…but what if he fails to kill Tom and there's no one left to stand in his way, what then?" Salena looked away and fiddled with her wand.

"Then I will take over. Harry has already discovered Tom's secret and is close to finishing him off, if he is unable to destroy the Dark Lord then I will be the one to end it all."

"But mistress what about your baby? What if she or he's put in danger, and Snape, what about Snape?"

"My baby will survive Naomi, as will I. There's one spell in particular that I plan to use against my own descendant, and it will finish him off once and for all." Naomi thought for a minute and then let out a surprised hiss.

"Mistress…do you mean your mother's spell?" Salena nodded and Naomi's head went onto her lap not covered by her belly. Salena stroked the top of her snake's head and started thinking about Severus, oh god she missed him so much and no doubt he missed her.

"Naomi tell me something, do you think Severus will want the baby? I know he loves me and I love him, but for as long as I've known him he's never once talked about wanting children."

"It could be because he's still caught up in the past mistress. He loves you but he still loves Lily, as for your child…I would say he'd love you more than usual. I'm sure he wouldn't disagree, after all you can't abort the child now."

"You're right…but I can't help but worry…" Salena continued to stroke Naomi's head, but then decided she had to clear her head. "I'm going to wash, watch the door Naomi."

"Yes mistress." Salena walked to the master bathroom of her room and started the water. She added three drops of tropical rain forest soap into the water and small bubbles began to form. She stripped out of her simple blue dress and underwear and slowly dipped down into the warm tingling water. The spell wore off in the water, and Salena could have sworn her stomach was bigger than it was supposed to be.

'My child…you couldn't have picked a worse time than to be growing in my belly. But I love you, and I'm sure your father will love you just the same.' She could feel the baby move slightly inside, and smiled at how eager he or she must want to meet their father. Salena slowly relaxed into the warm water and closed her eyes to relax, but as she was about to calm her senses, a vision soon came to her.

Vision:

"Nagini…kill." Nagini the large python started biting onto someone's neck. Once, twice, three, four, five times did she bite the victim; the screams were agonizing to hear, but Salena could not see the victim's face. All she could see was a large long black robe and dark hair obscuring the face.

"Such a tragedy." Tom apparated away with Nagini and the victim rolled over just enough to let Salena catch a glimpse of the face.

"Salena…"

End vision.

Salena sat up abruptly in the tub, and quickly dressed herself after magically drying off. Her hair was a wet mess but she truly didn't care about her appearance at the moment. Just as she was about to walk out of the bathroom she heard Naomi give off a dangerous hiss. Yanking out her wand she aimed it at…an eagle patronus?

"Lady Salena, it's starting! Potter and his friends are at Hogwarts and the Dark Lord knows about it! He's planning a full frontal assault you must hurry!" the patronus's voice was that of Draco Malfoy; before Salena could answer the eagle flew out the window.

"We have to leave now Naomi! It's started!"

"Mistress you can't apparate your pregnancy!"

"It's a risk I'll have to take! Come on!" Salena shrunk Naomi and put on a burgundy gown with a hood and shielded her belly before they apparated to outside the school. Looking up Salena saw the tower to the Headmaster's office, and quickly ran in through the front gate not caring if she set off the alarm. Naomi hid herself in Salena's shirt and carefully poked her head through the V-neck of the dress. As she barged inside no one seemed to notice, so she made her way quickly up to the headmaster's office only to run straight into Minerva McGonagall.

"Ouch…what in God's name…? Eleanor?" Minerva pulled out her wand and pointed it at Salena making Naomi's head pop out.

"Minerva please…I need to hide and fast before he finds me!"

"Who?"

"You-Know-Who. I'm here as a refugee Minerva I've been in hiding all this time please believe me!" Salena held up her hands and McGonagall lowered her wand.

"I can't tell if you're lying or not, but the best I can do is make your way into the Headmaster's Office."

"Thank you." Salena ran as quickly as she could before reaching the magnificent gargoyle guarding the entrance. "Lemon custard!" she spoke and the gargoyle let her pass through. When she reached the office Severus was nowhere in sight, and all but Albus Dumbledore left their portraits blank.

"Salena you're here."

"Hello Headmaster…where's Severus?" Albus had a grim look on his face but mainly that of concern.

"He's gone to the Great Hall, Harry was spotted in Hogsmeade and apparently he's made his way into the castle. All the students should be gathering in the Great Hall." Before Salena could leave, she decided she should at least tell Albus about her vision.

"Headmaster…I've had another vision, and this time it's…it's a death." Albus leaned in closer to listen. "I couldn't see who it was, only that Tom had Nagini rip their throat out and after he left them there they called my name." Albus was quiet for a while, but then cleared his throat placing his hands in his lap.

"I can't promise anything right now Salena, there will be death tonight and it could come from any side. We can't prevent it no matter how much we wish we could." Salena nodded but as she went to pet Naomi's head she felt her mother's necklace and her eyes widened.

"Something else Albus…you see this pendant?" he looked at it as she held it close enough for him to see.

"Yes…isn't that your mother's?"

"Yes, but it's more than my mother's…it's been passed down by everyone woman in my family up to me from my father's side. This isn't your average, gaudy, majorly expensive, bling bling necklace Albus, because it contains a legend that's passed down with it."

"What legend is that?"

"It's sort of similar to the Deathly Hallows, but the real dilemma is that this particular stone, touched by Death himself, can bring back only one, count them, ONE person back to life. Almost as if they'd never been dead to begin with." Albus's eyes widened and he glanced at the emerald before looking back at Salena's surprised green eyes. 'Does he know something I don't?'

"Salena you are correct, that emerald does contain power from Death himself; but don't forget Death is very much a trickster as Peeves here in the palace. Remember the tale of the Three Brothers?" Salena nodded. "Keep that in mind if you do wish to revive someone from the dead, for Death doesn't lie, but he does like to play with a person's heart." Salena stroked the pendant in her fingers and looked away.

"It's hard to believe God let's someone like that actually wonder the Earth."

"God has helpers all around Salena, even ones like me and you do his work and his duty when he cannot do it himself."

"Don't get religious on me now Albus." Salena let out a small laugh and then a sudden shudder made the floor move. She ran to the window and Naomi slithered up around her neck to see the stone castle guards walking out onto the bridge in front of the school where the shields had been set up. Behind the shield she could see the Snatchers all around waiting to enter. "I have to go!" as she ran out the door Albus called after her.

"Be careful Salena, don't do anything rash!" She heard every word and yet she would still make her way to the one place no one would ever want to find her, the Room of Requirement. As she ran down the halls and through the corridors the sounds of panicking students and enraged Death Eaters caught her ears but she paid it no mind as the secret door appeared before her. She opened in and ran inside seeing all piles of old artifacts and junk everywhere in the room.

"My god what a mess this place is."

"It's the room's true self Naomi, it hides things and is always well equipped for the suitor's needs." Naomi nodded and shrunk back into Salena's shirt but then popped back up again. "What is it Naomi?"

"Do you feel something mistress? I can…" Salena didn't realize what Naomi meant until she could hear a strange call, a small shrieking sound, coming from something in the room. It was close, but it was strong despite where it was. Salena began walking slowly towards the call, until she reached a shelf near a warthog statue with a small box on a table.

"It's there Naomi, the call is stronger." She carefully touched the box, but pulled back as if her fingers had stuck by a tiny needle, or more than a dozen tiny needles. "It's powerful, but I have to try." At a quick enough speed Salena opened the box and jumped back as her hands started to sting a little. The feeling went away quickly, but what was inside the box made Salena feel as if she could scream from pure surprise.

"What is it mistress?" Naomi looked at the object inside and moved back into Salena's shirt.

"It's Rowena's diadem…she lost it the day Helena ran away. But it's been corrupted; its sapphire in the middle is full of dark magic."

"He's defiled such a treasure, a piece of him inside. Rowena would turn in her grave if she knew about this." Salena's entire body shuddered with anger and fury, rather than end up destroying the room she let out a large, loud, violent scream making all objects around shake like an earthquake.

"GOD DAMN YOU TOM! GOD DAMN YOU ALL!" she let off a loud monstrous hiss and her eyes went to their deadly snake visions, but as she was about to destroy the diadem someone else came through the door. She ran and hid behind some stacks of books and boxes and peered around the corner; Harry Potter was coming inside, walking towards the diadem's hiding spot. The thing was calling him like it called her, but when he touched the box to open it he didn't pull back like she had.

"How's he doing that?"

"Quiet!" Salena hissed lowly but apparently Harry heard Naomi hiss because he started glancing around for the source. Not looking any further Harry slowly opened the box and admired the diadem inside, he picked it up gently with his two fingers closely examining it until someone else walked inside, Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle. 'Horrible timing.' Salena quietly made her way to the other side of the wall of objects and took out her wand before she ended up right next to the trio about to attack Harry. "Drop your wands boys." They slowly turned to her and her wand was pointed directly at them.

"P-Professor…?" Crabbe stuttered still pointing his wand at Harry.

"Drop your wands boys, there be no need for a fight right now."

"W-We can't…the Dark Lord wants Potter. He said he wants anyone to turn him over and we'll be rewarded for it…"

"I don't recall wanting an answer like that Crabbe. Drop your wands now, or you can suffer the consequences, the same as those you've been inflicting on the students with detention Crabbe, you and Goyle both." Crabbe's jaw dropped open in shock but he still refused to lower his wand.

"H-How did you…?"

"I have people on the inside, now for the last time…DROP YOUR WANDS!" at that Naomi appeared in her large full form and her head about snapped at the boys' wands trying to grab hold of them. Crabbe pointed his wand at her and struck Naomi's face. "Why you ungrateful little bastard!" she attacked him again and soon Ron and Hermione came running in.

"That mudblood! AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"NO!" Salena blocked the spell away from Hermione as she and Ron led Harry away from the area deeper into the room. Right before she could counter Crabbe started firing more and more killing spells at the trio, Malfoy tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen. Goyle was starting to get scared, right when Crabbe unleashed the Fiendfyre. "ARE YOU BLOODY INSANE?" Salena shouted and went after Draco who was trying to get them out of there. "Draco! Get out of here, you too Goyle! Crabbe you have to stop this or you'll kill us all!"

"NO! THE DARK LORD WANTS POTTER DEAD, SO I'M DOING HIM A FAVOR!" he fired a spell at her and she blocked it.

"FOOL!" Draco and Goyle were about to rush out the door but the fire blocked their way out. "Harry! Ron Hermione use the broomsticks and get out of here!" she couldn't see them but she knew she was loud enough to call over the roaring fire. "Draco you and Goyle get out of here as fast as you can!"

"But Lady Salena…!"

"No buts go!" She shoved him towards the same direction Harry and the others went in before she managed to make a small path through the fire. At that exact moment Harry and his friends flew over her with the broomsticks and Malfoy and Goyle, Crabbe unfortunately never came out. Salena jumped through the flames and made it out with hardly a scratch.

"You ok mistress?"

"Yes…you?"

"Not a scratch on me, hard to believe you made it out without either of us injured."

"It's too bad for Crabbe, those Carrows really screwed his mind."

"Screwed mistress?"

"It means messed up or getting caught depending on how you use the word. We have to hide."

"What about Severus?"

"We'll find him later, shrink back and keep quiet."

"Yes mistress." Salena slowly walked along the corridors until a sudden rush of battle caught her ears. The students were fighting the Death Eaters; out the window she could see the shield had been broken and the rest of Tom's army was racing across the bridge into the castle.

"No not now!" Salena put a hand over her stomach, still hidden by the spell but she had been ruthless up until now. Her baby wouldn't be able to take the pressure, she couldn't fight right now. She quickly hurried into one of the classrooms and hid there, crouching down into the corner; she hated hiding like a coward, but she didn't have much of a choice there was too much at risk.

"Mistress…you needn't be scared I'm sure Severus is fine."

"It's not Severus I'm worried about Naomi, it's everything else…the students, the teachers, you, my child, everything."

"We'll get through this mistress, regardless of anything we will both get through this and Severus I'm sure of it." Salena smiled and stroked Naomi's tiny head again. She laid back against the wall and started praying no one would get hurt in this war, but then a shudder wracked her body and a loud voice started to echo in her head.

"You have fought valiantly. Lord Voldemort knows how to value bravery," came Tom's cold voice. "Yet you have sustained heavy losses. If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste... I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour... I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you... I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour."

'He's going mad! Harry would never succumb to that!' Salena refused to believe the brave Harry Potter would give himself up so easily to Tom, but if he had a heart which he did, he would in fact sacrifice himself to save those around him, just like his mother. 'I can't let this happen…I have to…' another vision came to her.

Vision starts:

"No sign of anything yet milord." Yaxley spoke up walking over to Tom and the rest of his minions. Tom didn't seem to care for that at the moment.

"What about my dear Salena?" he looked over to the Malfoys and Bellatrix.

"No one's seen her yet milord, we've searched high and low even Draco and Severus haven't heard from her."

"She's in the palace milord, I overheard Goyle talking about it. Said she saved them from a fire in the Room of Requirement." Macnair said coming up to them.

"Why hasn't she come then?" no one knew what to say to that. "I shall find out myself, Lucius come with me to the Shrieking Shack, we must talk." He turned away.

"Y-Yes milord." Lucius reluctantly followed after Tom, leaving Narcissa and Bellatrix behind him.

End vision.

Salena hadn't thought Tom had his spies looking for her, and it was a fact that Goyle wouldn't blab to anyone except Malfoy or his parents. She rubbed her baby bump under the spell and decided that she'd sat down long enough; she got up slowly and let Naomi curl up around her neck with her head on top Salena's. She adjusted herself and walked out of the classroom heading straight for the Great Hall, possibly where they were keeping the dead.

"Be mindful mistress…"

"I am Naomi." As she looked over into the Great Hall she could see many bodies of students and a few adults laid out on the floor, along with others being treated for their injuries.

Salena almost cried at the sight, so many innocent lives taken tonight, all under the hands of her, no, her brother's own descendant but hers nonetheless. She looked around and spotted many familiar faces, including those of Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin; as she looked up she saw the Wealseys surrounding the body of one of their own, Fred Weasley. Harry and Hermione were there as well, both with tears in their eyes trying to comfort the family as best they could.

'No more…no more please…please…' she silently begged and started off to find Severus. Her visions couldn't find him, and he wasn't in the castle, where could he have gone? Was the vision about…no! No she couldn't think that, that couldn't have been Severus he would never walk into his own death. Tears formed in her eyes of worry and sorrow, all those dead children and colleagues of hers, all their blood and tears on her own hands, if only she'd acted sooner, if only she wasn't so pregnant…oh god why does it always happen in the wrong place at the wrong time?

"Mistress…Potter is gone. As are Granger and Weasley…"

"They must've gone off to figure this out…I have to find them."

"It's too late…" Naomi's tail gently rubbed against Salena's neck. "They're already gone wherever, we must at least help with the dead." Salena knew Naomi was right, if she left now to find her love it would only make things worse; she turned back towards the Great Hall and walked over to the group of Weasleys surrounding their lost member. When she reached there George went up and embraced her, crying his eyes out onto her shoulder. She rubbed his back gently and let a tear fall from her eye looking at her favorite students.

"I'm sorry for your loss everyone, I'm so sorry." She whispered hoarsely as George let go and looked at his twin's body.

"T-Thank you Professor…" Ginny came and hugged her too. Molly Weasley was stricken with grief for her son, and Salena couldn't keep a straight face. Naomi moved the tears from her eyes and hair from her face, but Salena couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"How could they do this?" she thought aloud. Arthur looked at her and comforted his wife.

"They're all murderers Professor, every last one of them. Incapable of thought, love, feelings, or any kind of emotions but greed and power." He stated coldly not breaking eye contact.

'You're wrong.' "You don't know that exactly, but for you all to know…this will be over soon." She looked over at the window and could've sworn she saw a green flash coming from the Forbidden Forest.

"Mistress…I have a feeling..." Salena turned away for a minute and whispered lowly.

"A feeling of what Naomi?"

"A feeling…that someone else…is dead."

"Look around Naomi, there's death all over here."

"Yes but…this one is devastating."

"Let it go, we'll find out soon enough."

Salena didn't realize how long she'd been staring out the window, but the next thing she saw outside the grounds was a bunch of red sparks from wands, dozens of them.

"Everyone get away from the doors! They're coming back!" Salena shouted and everyone quickly pulled the dead bodies away from the doors placing them on tables or at the far end of the Great Hall. Salena moved closer to the front but kept back enough so she could be obscured from sight for the time being; if this meant what she thought it meant, then her time to act was soon.

"Stay hidden Naomi, keep out of sight unless I tell you otherwise."

"Yes mistress." Naomi safely tucked herself away in Salena's dress. Right at that moment Tom came walking in with his minions, and Salena caught sight of what she prayed wouldn't happen; Harry's dead, unmoving body laying limp in Hagrid's arms, completely lifeless.

"Harry Potter is dead!" Tom cried out joyfully and his minions cheered with him, except for the Malfoys of course.

"NO!" so many people cried out, calling for Harry but he wouldn't, no he couldn't move. He was gone, along with many others. Salena marched her way through the crowd and straight to the front to face the man she now deeply hated with more and more than ever.

"Ah my dear Salena there you are, come now, join me in my time of victory and joy." He held out his arm to her, and before Salena could say anything someone came next to her. "Neville Longbottom…is that it?" Salena turned and there was in fact, Neville Longbottom standing next to her with the Sorting Hat in his hands.

"Neville? Oh dear god look at you."

"No need to worry miss Salena, I've looked worse."

"No I mean I can feel the courage and bravery vibrating off you, I've never seen you so strong before." Neville laughed and looked back at Tom. "And wait a minute how did you know…?"

"Harry told me, Dumbledore's army knows who you really are, even if they don't." He pointed to all the observers.

"Hmm…looks like Harry made some good points before his death. But enough of that…" she glared at Tom and walked slowly over to him before stopping about ten feet away. Tom held his hand out to her again, and instead of taking it, Salena yanked out her wand and cut his cheek. Her glare increased and her eyes shifted from normal to snake again.

"Salena…what is the…?" She cut him again before he could finish, and Nagini hissed low and deadly not long before Tom hissed for her to remain behind him. The Death Eaters looked as if ready to attack, but before anyone could make a move, Salena put up her hand making all stay put.

"You have besmirched our family name long enough Tom! All this violence and bloodshed was not what my father intended!" Tom was completely flabbergasted at Salena's words and actions; he let out a low growl and raised his hand to strike her when someone fired a spell and hit his arm. The entire room gasped and shouted in glee, and Salena's eyes widened like saucers, for there in all his glory and undead nature, stood Harry Potter, wand raised and at the ready.

"Your fight is with me!" he cried out and Salena smiled widely.

"Harry! How are you…?" before Salena could finish a loud roar of anger erupted from Tom and the Death Eaters attacked, students coming on head first to a full frontal assault, and Harry began dueling Tom.

Everyone was fighting bravely, but Salena feared if this continued more innocent blood would be spilt; and just in the nick of time, Neville came up from behind Tom and with a sword in his hands he cut Nagini's head clean off. Tom let out a fierce roar and tried to attack Neville but Harry blocked him and the dueling continued.

Tom was cornering him into the middle of the room, and the students kept their distance trying to fight off the remaining Death Eaters; Salena moved towards Tom and Harry, and then began assisting with other death eaters trying to come to their master's aid.

"Mistress! You must stop this, now is the time to let it out!"

"I know!" with one last spell fired at Tom, Salena's spell struck his arm and she stood right next to Harry. "ENOUGH!" she shouted and everyone stopped in their tracks, except for Bellatrix who came over to Tom in a swift motion. "Time to finish this now…"

"Salena…y-you don't have to help me." Harry started out and Salena smirked not looking away from Tom.

"I know, but I think it's time I got a little off my chest before this ends. You seem troubled Tom, you have some questions for me I suppose?" Tom raised his wand and glared fiercely with Bellatrix behind him.

"How dare you turn against me! After all I've done for you, sheltering you, making you my Dark Lady, protecting you…and you dare betray me like this?"

"You call keeping me locked away from anyone's sight and not allowing me to walk as I please sheltering me? You're even worse than Albus Dumbledore, at least he was kind enough to let me wander."

"You are a Slytherin, a pure-blooded Slytherin from a powerful family! You are my ancestor, but you're to be my queen!" Salena growled and her snake eyes began to glow.

"I was never to be your queen, you're not the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And yes I'm a Slytherin, but this war is ridiculous! Look at the countless lives you've ruined, you and your minions, your lackeys, the innocent blood spilt into this magnificent school's floors and walls, it's a disgrace to the family name!"

"Disgrace? How dare you talk to him like that!"

"Silence Bellatrix! I can speak to him how I please, he's a disgrace to my bloodline, tearing down my father's honorable name and destroying all he stood for!"

"We have been upholding his name! He specifically mistrusted Mudbloods and blood traitors, Hogwarts is only for those of pure blood race." Bellatrix spoke out of line again.

"SHUT UP!" Salena flinched almost at her own voice and her face turned red with fury. "My father renounced his ways before he died, he raised me to accept all wizards and witches no matter what family or what bloodline they're from, not to judge them! What you've done Tom is make things worse for our family, and that is your biggest mistake yet!"

"SILENCE! I must now kill Harry Potter, and when I do I will break you in, so you will never lie or betray me again!"

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Harry stood up in front of Salena. "She's telling the truth Riddle, everything she's said is the truth. She was never yours to begin with, this war was never yours to win, and your plans haven't worked out as you thought."

"What is this rubbish?"

"Salena never wanted to help you, she never loved or cared for you. Ever since she was freed from that crystal prison her loyalty has only remained with two men, and two men alone."

"And who is that?"

"Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape; they were the ones who freed and saved her. She swore undying loyalty to them both, to protect and help me in this war which she's done an amazing job with. She was there every time I encountered you or a task you inflicted on me, she saved me many times, and she sure as hell had you fooled." Tom didn't seem to believe it, so Salena went up behind Harry and showed the mark she'd placed on him for protection.

"It's the truth Tom, my loyalty forever belongs to the two men who rescued me."

"You lying bitch! You betrayed me for a boy! My enemy!"

"You have many enemies Tom, including me. I never wanted to help you, I only did it because I had to keep up my composure until now; I never wanted to be your dark lady. Severus was there for me when I needed him, unlike you who'd just leave me alone and never talk to me; he protected me and needed me as much as I needed him. He loves me." That made Tom's eyes widen.

"What. Did. You. Just. Say?"

"He loved her." Harry spoke instead. "Snape loved Salena, he loved her so much he kept her a secret from you up until that night at the Ministry. His loyalty was to her and Dumbledore, ever since you targeted my mother he remained Dumbledore's man; but when he saved Salena, you could say he fell head over heels for her." Salena's eyes widened at Harry's bold words. "Snape may have loved my mother, but he fell in love again; their relationship was kept secret so you wouldn't have found out about it. Why else would he have voluntarily become her guard?"

"IMPUDENCE!" Tom fired a spell at Harry but Salena blocked it.

"You'd best control yourself Tom, your aim is slipping. And Harry is telling you again the pure truth, I never loved you, I love Severus, he's the only other man I ever loved. And this is proof…" she waved her wand over her belly and the entire room gasped again; her pregnant stomach was visible now to the entire audience. "I'm pregnant…and it's Severus' child." Tom's eyes were drawn to Salena's belly, and his teeth were gritted together in fury. Bellatrix's jaw dropped to the floor as did the other death eaters. "Now answer me Tom, where's Severus?" Bellatrix started cackling loudly and Salena was getting pissed. "WHERE IS HE?"

"He's…he's gone Miss Salena." Harry turned to her not lowering his wand from Tom.

"What?"

"He's dead…Riddle killed him. I saw it, he killed Snape because of that wand he's holding." Salena's eyes widened and tears began to form.

"N-No…no he can't be…he can't be dead." She turned to Tom. "You couldn't have killed him…"

"Oh but I did! I was sad to lose a loyal follower, but now I'm glad I did!" Salena's eyes glared and tears formed again falling down her face. She noticed the wand in Tom's hand, and seeing it was the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in existence, she knew Severus died for nothing.

"You killed him…OVER A STUPID WAND? YOU BASTARD!" she fired a curse at him and they started dueling against each other. Tom kept laughing the entire time they fought and Harry joined in while the battle started again.

"I killed him because he killed Dumbledore, as long as the master of the elder wand exists I alone cannot be the most powerful wizard ever!"

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Salena's eyes were full of hate and anger, and Harry seemed to be holding up better than her.

"Oh I don't think you'll have much to worry about any more Salena! Because once I've killed Potter I'll finish you and you can join Severus in Hell!"

"The only one going to Hell Tom is you!" Harry fired Expelliarmus at Tom and it missed. Tom fired another spell at Harry and managed to disarm him but then Salena pushed him out of the way and aimed her wand.

"Flamarei Mamarin!" a large spout of fire came out and burned Tom's arm badly. He cried out in pain and turned back to Salena, eyes flaring with rage.

"You bitch! You little whore!" he fired the Avada Kedavra at her, but before the spell could hit her Harry pushed Salena out of the way and again fired Expelliarmus at Tom, the killing curse deflected, and the Elder Wand flew straight into Harry's hand. The minute Tom's dead body hit the floor, the other Death Eaters, with the exception of the now dead Bellatrix and the Malfoys, were all stunned and captured by Aurors. Salena watched as everyone came up to hug her and Harry both, but the two were completely oblivious to anything other than what had just happened.

"Let's get away from here for a bit." She pushed her way out of the crowd and Harry hid under his Invisibility Cloak following her out of the Great Hall and into one of the classrooms. They were alone at last, and Harry suddenly embraced Salena carefully to not hurt her swollen stomach.

"Thank you…thank you so much for all you've done. I-I completely misjudged you and Snape both…I'm sorry…I'm so sorry."

"You don't have to be sorry Harry. It was all bound to happen anyway, I'm just glad you and I survived through this." She kissed his forehead and looked directly into his green eyes and smiled. "You really are Lily's son, you have her eyes and her sweet nature." Before Harry could reply back a sudden shudder of cold air filled the room, Salena felt something come inside the room and turned around to see a large, shadowy figure wearing a long black cloak with a hood skeleton face standing behind her.

"Hello Lady Salena…Mr. Potter." The gravelly voice was all too familiar, they knew who this was.

"Hello Death."

Yes I kind of rushed through the battle scene but I'm not too good at war sights. I need to work on that don't I? Anyway there's at least two more chapters to come and then this fic is done. But what could Death want with Salena and Harry? Read next time to find out cuz it's gonna be good!

Review please!
