"Harry Potter is dead. He was killed as he ran away, trying to save himself while you lay down your lives for him. We bring you his body as proof that your hero is gone. The battle is won. You have lost half of your fighters. My Death Eaters outnumber you, and the Boy Who Lived is finished. There must be no more war. Anyone who continues to resist, man, woman or child, will be slaughtered, as well every member of their family. Come out of the castle now, kneel before him, and you shall be spared. Your parents and children, your brothers and sisters will live and be forgiven, and you will join me in the new world we shall build together."
Harry hears Voldemort use his amplified voice to tell the news to the whole school, and he can guess they're at the entrance to the castle and its sunrise - something to do with the way Hagrid's stopped and the color behind his eyelids is lightening.
Everyone goes out, and Bellatrix mutters "Looks like we don't outnumber them after all. How'd so many survive?"
He hears Professor McGonagall's screams of rage, despair, and denial - he never thought she'd be capable of something like them, making them sound all the worse to him - followed by Hermione, Ron, and Ginny - and then Bloom's shouts of rage, heartache, and passion.
"I swear, you all won't last five minutes after I get my hands on you!" Her voice is raw, and she sounds like she's been crying - Harry's sure he didn't imagine hearing her screaming his name all the way from the school.
Through his lashes, Harry sees Hermione, Ron, Neville, and Luna trying to hold Bloom back, her makeup is running and she looks like she's a mess - everything around them starts quivering and shaking though, responding to Bloom's anger.
This seems to act like a trigger for everyone else, and they all begin screaming and yelling abuse at the Death-Eaters, Bloom loudest of all, until Voldemort forces them all to be silent with a Charm.
Voldemort orders Harry to be lowered down and set at his feet, and he proclaims to the survivors that Harry Potter was nothing but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him.
Ron yells at Voldemort, and the Charm brakes and the defenders of Hogwarts were shouting and screaming again until another bang extinguished their voices once more.
Voldemort lies once more that Harry was killed when trying to sneak out of the castle grounds, but he was interrupted by a scuffle and a shout, then multiple bangs, flashes of light, and a grunt of pain.
Opening his eyes slightly, Harry saw that Bloom had broken free from their friends, but about ten Death-Eaters had knocked her to the ground.
She gets up, and they grab her and try to hold her still - bad idea, she starts fighting until all their wands are pointed at her neck. Neville was about to attack, but Bloom beat him to it - they can all tell she's running high on her anger and heartache and is in no way listening to reason at the moment.
Voldemort offers Bloom, who they can all assume qualifies as pure-blooded, the chance to join his side - she laughs outright at the offer, and yells "I wouldn't join you if the world was crumbling into hell as we speak, you psycho, murdering, freak of a monster with a destroyed soul!"
She then starts fighting again, elbowing and punching and knocking wands away from the shocked Death-Eaters before they can react.
Voldemort casts a full-body-bind spell on her, and summons the Sorting Hat. He floats it on top of her head, announcing that this is what happens to those who fight when the battle has been lost. He sets the hat on fire, and the crowd starts screaming again.
Everyone goes deadly quiet, as Bloom laughs and says "You think you can burn me? You think you can burn me? You people never learn!"
She starts glowing bright orange, all the Death-Eaters that were holding her go flying and land painfully on their backs, and Bloom runs to Nagini and slams her fist on the serpent's head yelling "SUPERNOVA!"
At that exact moment, Grawp comes running for Hagrid and the giants on Voldemort's side charge him, and the battle renews.
When everybody can see again, Nagini is nothing more than a pile of dust, Bloom is fighting off most of the Death-Eaters and winning, and Harry is nowhere to be seen.
The battle moves back into the Main Hall, where Bloom ends up fighting Bellatrix and Voldemort at the same time while everyone else is fighting the rest of the Death-Eaters.
Narcissa disappeared as soon as they entered the school, likely gone to find her family. They're traitors to Voldemort, if he wins they'll die for sure.
The Centaurs break their neutrality by joining Hogwarts's side, shooting more Death-Eaters as the fight goes on. Even the House-Elves join the fight, stabbing Death-Eaters with knives and forks in the ankles and such.
Harry threw his Invisibility Cloak on when Bloom made the impressive distraction, and invisibly helps out by using every hex and spell he knows on Death-Eaters while they're busy fighting someone else - they never know what hit them.
When the Battle is all but over, only Bellatrix and Voldemort are left - dueling Bloom and making zero headway.
There's a ring of fire starting to swirl around them all, and it's feeding directly into Bloom's stream of orange magic shooting from the mouth of her dragon-wand like its breathing it out. Her magic is slowly but surely pushing the two streams combined into one back - they're losing and everyone knows it.
Bellatrix gives up on the duel and tries to hit Bloom with a curse - her Fire Arrow pops it like a bubble and hits her straight over the heart. Bellatrix falls over dead, and Voldemort screams in rage and lets loose a wave of magic from his fury.
Most are toppled backwards, and Bloom is pushed back - the duel broken.
Voldemort aims his wand at her, but Harry roars out "Protego!" and the Shield Charm expands across the entire room. Both Bloom and Voldemort look around in shock for the source of the Charm, and Harry pulls the Invisibility Cloak off.
The room starts cheering in shock, joy, and hope - and Bloom falls over in a dead faint. Hermione and Ron immediately summon her unconscious body to them as she transforms back.
The two wizards start circling one another, like lions waiting to pounce on one another.
Harry tells everyone not to interfere, that it has to be him and Voldemort alone this time. Nobody's disagreeing - mainly because Bloom is unconscious.
Harry gives everyone Sacrificial Protection by saying he's willing to die to keep Voldemort from hurting them - which is why the Charms weren't holding them in the courtyard.
Harry reveals to everyone that Snape was a Triple agent for Dumbledore, pretending to work for Voldemort to spy on Hogwarts. They arranged his death months before it actually happened, meaning Voldemort didn't have him killed like he thinks.
Also, the Elder Wand's master was never Snape, like Voldemort thought - it was Draco, ever since he disarmed Dumbledore. He never knew, never had any inkling of what he'd truly done when he disarmed Dumbledore. Then, Harry beat him and took his wand - which makes Harry the Elder Wand's new master.
When he calls Voldemort 'Riddle' and says he knows a few things Riddle doesn't, Voldemort hesitates to strike - thinking Harry might have one more secret between them.
He thinks it's love, and that nobody seems to love Harry enough to jump in front of him. Ron scoffs, and yells "Bloom's unconscious, in case you hadn't noticed!"
Voldemort ignores Ron, and then Harry says he's seen what Voldemort will become and should try for remorse to avoid that fate.
Voldemort laughs, and then they duel. Voldemort eventually casts the Killing Curse at Harry and keeps him from blocking the spell, as Harry casts Expelliarmus and disarms Riddle - and catches the Elder Wand with the skill of a Seeker as it flew towards the Master it refuses to kill.
Voldemort is dead, and there is a moment of stunned silence.
Everyone starts cheering at once, and rushes over to hug Harry.
Hagrid, Ron, and Hermione are the first, shortly followed by the members of the original DA and then the new ones.
Everyone seems to want to hug and congratulate him - and Harry spies the Malfoys sitting on the edge of the crowd, not knowing where they stand in the celebration.
Nobody's paying them any attention though, and he's a central part of the celebration and grief. Most of it is celebration though, Bloom and Fyra saved a lot of people.
Suddenly, they all hear a familiar, and very raw and rough, voice shout "WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS THAT BLACK-HAIRED, GLASSES-WEARING IDIOT WHO THINKS HE CAN SNEAK OFF WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE AND GET HIMSELF KILLED?!"
Bloom's woken up, and Harry whispers to Ron and Hermione "Bloody hell, gotta go guys. Boy-who-lived wants to keep living."
He throws his Invisibility Cloak on, and runs down a nearby hallway that isn't filled with debris - just as Bloom starts making her way through the crowd. She sees Ron and Hermione staring at her like they're hiding something, and mutters a spell to see his footprints.
She takes off at a sprint, yelling "GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE, HARRY POTTER!"
Everyone stares as she races down the hallway, presumably to find Harry and give him the worst chewing-out of his entire life.
Draco mutters "Now I'm glad she hates me. I don't want to imagine ticking her off and getting a reaction like this."
Sirius snickers with Remus, and says "Just like Lily, but more dangerous. Assuming Harry survives, I think the two of us can guess what'll end up happening, Moony."
Remus grins, and says "Assuming Harry survives."
AN: Okay, life-and-death situation is over - time for Harry to figure out how to calm down the most powerful being on this planet because he went and did exactly what he promised her wouldn't happen: he died. Bloom felt it alright, that's why she screamed. She stopped listening to reason when Harry's heart stopped beating, she's been running off her rage and fury ever since. On that note, he probably should've tried to stay dead - remember how Bloom's glares could scare a dragon off? And that anger has got nothing on what she's got right now...
