The End

I stand in the back with baited breath. I watch as Harry and The Dark Lord pull out their wands and begin to circle each other. After a few moments, Harry says:

"I don't want anybody to come to help me. It has to be like this, it has to be me v.s him".

His voice carries through the hall, and even us in the back can hear him. The Dark Lord speaks too, and we can all hear him again:

"Potter doesn't actually mean that. Potter wants all of you to die for him".

Harry shakes his head, but doesn't say anything. We all watch them circling each other, both looking directly into their enemy's eyes. The Dark Lord speaks again, but this time it's a whisper, directed only at Harry.

I hear the words "accidents and chance".

Harry speaks directly to The Dark Lord, but his voice still carries through the hall.

"Accident was it, when my mother died to save me?"

The Dark Lord's mouth twitches into a snare, and says:

"Accidents, all of those were mistakes made by your luck".

Harry doesn't react, he simply keeps on circling his opponent. I can't help but admire his bravery. I would have run for my life.

Harry and The Dark Lord strike up another conversation. It sounds like they are having a chat over tea, and not fighting for their lives. The conversation directs towards love and weapons, but I'm not far enough in the front to hear him.

I can't hear anything at all. I only can hear small snippets of conversation. I overheard something about Snape. I look at Draco, but he doesn't seem to have heard it.

They ramble on for a couple more minutes. I am super annoyed that I can't hear them, or see them properly. I hate the fact that Draco and Snape are on the Dark Lord's radar, and could be brought into this mess.

I let my thoughts wander around for a while whilst waiting for something to happen. Eventually, Harry and The Dark Lord raise their wands in unison. My heart stops. Voldemort's mouth moves, and as does Harry's. This time, I can hear.

Harry screams "expelliarmus" whilst Voldemort screams "Avada kedavra"

I watch as The Dark Lord's spell backfired upon him. He falls back, and out of sight. We all take a second to process what we just watched.

Draco turns to me as the hall erupts around us. Students and teachers alike, fling themselves upon the Potter boy. Draco, Millicent, Goyal, Narcissa, Lucius, and I all stay back.

Draco and I look at each other. A smile creases across his lips, and he flings himself upon me. He hugs me, and I hug him back. After all of this, I still feel electricity flood through me as I wrap myself closer in his warm arms.

Draco and I break apart, but the moment I'm out of his arms, he tilts my head up to his. He kisses me on the lips. We embrace for a while, but break apart as soon as we remember that Narcissa and Lucius are right there.

Lucius everts his eyes, but Narcissa gives me a smile. I smile back, and turn away to hide my blush.

Millicent flings herself into my arms. She laughs with relief, and I beam at Millicent (the person who is basically my sister). Draco hugs his parents again, than says:

"I'm tired, this has been one hell of a night, I think I'm going to rest in the common room".

Draco gives me a look, and I understand immediately. I wink, than turn to his parents, Goyal, and Millicent, and say:

"I'm also exhausted, I think I'm going to go too."

Draco and I push past the crowd of people around Harry, and descend down to the Slytherin common room. I say the password, and we enter.

We go to the boys dorm, and draw the curtains around Draco's bed. We are both too tired to speak, so we go under the blankets and curl into each other. Within seconds, I'm asleep.
————————————————————————
A/N thank you so much for reading. A lot of this chapter is from the book. Deathly Hallows, pages 738 - 747, chapter 36 (written by J.K Rowling).

BTW, I don't want Draco or Pansy to know about Draco being the master of the elder wand for a period of time, or for them to know about Snape. They will learn about Snape soon enough, and Draco will grieve, but for this story, another chapter isn't necessary. I hope you enjoyed this, and I'm sorry for my terrible writing. This is the end of the story. 😃
