Ophelia || Harry Potter

Chapter 149

Sirius and Remus held onto me as I had ran forward. The boy I recognised as Harry, laid lump in Hagrid's arms

"SILENCE!" Voldemort cried, there was a bang and a flash of bright light as silence now lingered "It is over! Set him down, Hagrid, at my feet, where he belongs!"

We watched as the limp body was lowered into the ground

"You see?" Voldemort said "Harry Potter is dead! Do you understand now, deluded ones? He was nothing, ever, but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him!"

"He beat you!" Ron yelled

"He was killed while trying to sneak out of the castle grounds" Voldemort said "killed while trying to save himself"

Neville then surprisingly charged at Voldemort with him being then thrown back and disarmed

"And who is this?" He said in a soft snake's hiss "Who has volunteered to demonstrate what happens to those who continue to fight when the battle is lost?"

Bellatrix then gave a delighted laugh whilst Tonks, Sirius and I looked at the woman who was unfortunately family by blood "It is Neville Longbottom, my Lord! The boy who has been giving the Carrows so much trouble! The son of the Aurors, remember?"

"Ah, yes, I remember" Voldemort said, looking down at Neville, who was struggling back to his feet "But you are a pureblood, aren't you, my brave boy?"

"So what if I am?" Neville said loudly

"You show spirit and bravery, and you come of noble stock. You will make a very valuable Death Eater. We need your kind, Neville Longbottom"

"I'll join you when hell freezes over" Neville declared "Dumbledore's Army!"

We all cheered to show him where we stood. Never would one of us step over

"Very well" Voldemort said "If that is your choice, Longbottom, we revert to the original plan. On your head"

He swished the wand with a misshapen bird come soaring over. It landed on his hand before shaking the object in his hand. It then dangled, revealing the sorting hat

"There will be no more Sorting at Hogwarts School" Voldemort declared "There will be no more Houses. The emblem, shield and colors of my noble ancestor, Salazar Slythering, will suffice everyone. Won't they, Neville Longbottom?"

He pointed his wand at Neville then forced the hat onto Neville's head, so that it slipped down below his eyes. The Death Eaters raised their wands as some of us moved

"Neville here is now going to demonstrate what happens to anyone foolish enough to continue to oppose me" Voldemort said, with a flick of his wand, he caused the Sorting Hat to burst into flames

Neville let our a cry as many screamed at the sight. We watched as he was unable to move. Meanwhile Sirius and Remus moved in front of me defensively as they raised their wand. Meanwhile Tonks took my free hand in a preparation to probably run

Suddenly there was an uproar from the distance. The sounds of thousands of thundering people came crying, however were out of sight. We could all hear their ear cries with the earth then shaking

"HAGGER!" A giant shouted. We looked to Grawp who came running over. Then came hooves as arrows were flung all over the place. The school fell into war again

Everything went hectic again as many sounds infiltrated the area. The silver shining from the sword of Gryffindor, shone in Nevilles hand. I watched as he sliced of Nagini's head, killing the snake as it fell to Voldemort's feet
