End Of Sixth Year

A/N: Hey guys! Put the next music on play. Helps grasp what Harry's going through!
See ya!

Harry's pov:
I watched Nymphadora's body, it was not moving. I propelled the opponent who just launched the killing curse in the wall behind him and ran to bow next to my fiancee.
"Nymph! Dora! NYMPHADORA ! WAKE UP! Please! I need you! Don't do this to me!" I screamed shaking her lightly. Her injured head (blood was running from her forehead) bobbed, but she didn't bulge. "Nymphadora please! Stop joking around!" I said feeling my voice and heart break. "No. No! NOO!!" I shouted
"Awww... Is wittle Hawwy mad? Mad that wittle Nymphadora attacked someone too stwo-" Bellatrix began, but was cut by a rather nasty curse that came from me. I stood up, tears running down my face, all around me, large cracks were appearing on the stone ground :
"Don't call her Nymphadora. Only I ever got, and ever will be in the right to call her that." I growled. The mad witch's eyes widened and she ran after Snape and Malfoy. I sent a severing curse to a tall blonde Death Eater which head fell off. A boiling curse and a bone breaker followed, hitting Ron's and Hermione's respective opponent. A pack of rookie Death Eaters blocked me. My arm became a blur as three legs were cut, two Death Eaters were slowly crushed by two green Anacondas, and four others were circled by hell's flame slowly advancing toward them. I ran again, faster. I took every hideaway I knew, every single secret passage to get to them faster. Emerging from one, a curse brushed past me, I immediately rolled and set one Amycus Carrow, trapped by a stone cobra, and it's sibling thrown very hardly through a wall. I dashed again and, when arriving in front of Hagrid's hut, I saw them both : those I wanted dead the most.
"SNAPE! LESTRANGE!" I shouted, both turned, the first one a little shock that I was provoking both.
"Oh look Snape! Little Harry's her-!" she began to cackle, but I had thrown the Sectumsempra toward her. "That's the second time you cut me you little vermine !" she said throwing a crucio I countered. "Oh so Harrykins learned how to fight. Good. Move on Snape, I will toy with him."
"You will go nowhere. Move and little Dracsy-poo dies." I said coldly, getting Malfoy in a tight mud ball.
"As if. You never killed anyone Potter." she cackled.
"Ask your dumb lord, the pack of Death Eaters in the corridors and your tall guy. You'll see if I don't kill." I said tightening the ball.
"Bellatrix, don't provoke him... He's not in his usual state of mind..." Snape stated drawing his wand. Both attacked me at the same time, and with my wand, I split the air, making both curse splash on a shield. I began to walk towards them, cracks wider and wider appearing, the ground beginning to shake:
"How could you. How could you kill him?! He trusted you, you pathetic man! By your fault, three men died, my mother too ! You are just pathetically jealous Severus Snape. You only care for your own well-being!" I said exchanging spells with them, getting fiercer and fiercer, stronger and stronger. "And you!" I said turning toward Bellatrix, sending a wave of sharp wind, cutting Snape. "Don't you have any remorse?! Killing your cousin, then, sending your nephew to a certain death, killing your niece and the daughter of your sister! You both are the worst pathetic excuse for humans!" I spat, sneering and use the ground to break Lestrange's ankle. Then, twirling, I threw Snape's spell away before petrifing him. Then I turned toward the crazy second in command and slowly drained 35% of the water in her body, making her fall. I immediately put her under the Crucio for 2 whole minutes, making her fall unconscious. I turned toward the potion master and undid the petrifing curse.
"Any last word Snivellus?"
"Bind me and watch my m-memories. P-please!" in front of this rather surprising request, I couldn't help but do it. 5 minutes later, Dumbledore's condition was not a secret anymore to me.
"Even to kill him, you were still Dumbledore spy... I can't believe it... Go. Leave Malfoy, make something up like you were able to escape me. Then, when you are able to, say to Mrs Malfoy to go there." I said writing something on a piece of paper. He nodded and I let him take Bellatrix with him. When he finally went back to Voldemort, I freed Malfoy and, seeing he was unconscious, asked a house elf to bring him in the Room of Requirement and to keep him there until I arrive. I went back on my track, running as fast as I could, feeling that if I let myself relax, I wouldn't be able to go back up, and I wanted to be near Nymphadora for as long as I could... Fuck what am I going to do now?! She's not here. Not anymore. I will not see her smile ever again. I will not feel her hand touching my arm when I'm troubled. I will not see her wonderful eyes setting on mine, full with love... I'm alone. Alone!..... Finally, I was near her body. No one was around. I dropped to my knees and let my tears flow freely while I held her close, sobbing loudly. I felt my friends' magic getting closer behind me, but I can't care less at all. I don't know how much time I stayed like that but... At a point I felt a hand on my shoulder, and my sister's voice came out :
"Harry... Come on. We have to go. Yo-you-you can't say here. Come on Harry." she said with light sobs
"No. Please. I want to stay with her. I can't go anywhere... Sis... What if it was Ron? Would you go away from his body knowing that you would never see him again? Would you turn away from the love of yo-" I began but stopped, frowning.
"Harry? What's goi-"
"Sh-sh-shhhh." I said bowing towards my fiance's chest, pushing my ear against it : I thought I had... I placed my head differently to be just above her heart, and three things happened : I felt air on my hair, I heard a heart beat, and Nymphadora giggled:
"Damn your good hearing." she snickered "Just when you were about to declare your undying love for me." she said. Had her voice always been so melodious and mischievous? "Why does it always stop at the best moment?"she asked, but instead of answering, I hugged her tightly. "Harry? I-you-huuhh... Oh." she said before hugging me back as tightly. "I'm alive, we're together. I'm okay." she whispered stroking my hair.
"I was so lost..." I sobbed
"I know... Oh my poor thing. Don't worry, I ain't leaving you before we're 150, with at least three kids."
"Promise?" I sobbed/laughed
"Promise." she snickered. I let go of her and put her on her feet. "Anyway, I'm sure all of you are wondering 'how the bloody hell did [I] managed to survive', and it's quite simple : luck and rubble. Thanks to the Felix Felicis, at the last moment, a lost spell caused a part of the stone floor to rise to take the killing curse. Sadly, when it exploded, it brushed my head, knocking me out... Anyway. What happened while I was out? And why's the ground's as cracked?"
"Well... Both are linked..." Hermione said sheepishly, and suddenly, what I did hit me, and I looked down in shame... How could my friends looked at me when I'm a bloody murderer?!
"That was scary and fucking brilliant!" Percy said to my surprise.
"Harry after having seen your body not moving, shut Bellatrix up as she was making fun of you, and he said one of the most badass and sweetest line ever!" Ron began
"I quote: 'Don't call her Nymphadora. Only I ever got, and ever will be in the right to call her that.'" Annabeth said.
"And then, cracks appeared all around our dear Chosen One, and he got out Hermione's and mine in two spells, one each, breaking every bone of my opponent's body... He's still alive."
"Must be the only one Harry fought who survived. See those drapes over there? That's what's remaining of Thorfin Rowle. Harry beheaded him before even dealing with Mustepaw's and Furball's opponent, and then, he began to run after Bellatrix and Snape..." Percy said
"Snape?"
"Yeah I don't know..." manetail said "Anyway, right after he jumped on your track, poor rookies got on his way and... Let's say poor bastards should never have been on on his way... Two bled out, two others were crushed to death, and four burned. After, it's Harry who can tell..." I tensed up... What can I do?! If I explain further, they'll hate me...
"Harry?" my fiance asked
"Alright... Just... Don't cut me... Please." they nodded "OK so hum... Well I ran after Lestrange, but, emerging from a secret hideaway, a curse brushed past me, it was the Carrow twins, but with two quick flick of my wand, one of them was sent in the wall while the other one was set in stone. I managed to get to Snape and Lestrange in front of Hagrid's hut and dueled both."
"Are you fucking mad?!" Nymphadora screamed while everyone was looking at me like I was insane.
"I won." everyone's eyes widened.
"You what now?!" Hermione asked
"I won... Even tortured Bellatrix by removing a part of the water in her body..." I confessed gulping before deciding to stubbornly stare at the ground.
"Harry?" my sister asked. I looked at the ground.
"Harry, look at me please." my fiancee asked, and, against my best will, I looked up. She engulfed me in a hug, before kissing me, sweetly, lovingly. "I'm not mad at you. No one is, Morgana knows that if I was the one in your situation, I would have snapped harder, throwing killing curse at every opponent I had. Besides, I'm sorry to say it, but you'll have to kill at least one guy : Tommy the Riddler my dear Dark knight."
"Seriously? Batman ref?" Percy deadpanned.
"Yup. Now Cornedrue, dear Ravagers, I promise I'll make everything in my power to stay alive. After all, we don't want a Dark Lord to emerge after killing another one." she smiled, I chuckled and slumped, the stress and emotional rush finally taking it's toll.
"Easy there mate. We got you." Ron said catching one arm and putting it around his shoulder while Percy did the same with the other one.
"You got injured?" the dark haired asked.
"No, just finally relaxed and everything fell on me." I said, meanwhile, Annabeth and Hermione were taking care of Potter (still strange to call her that after all the time she was Tonks...), and we made our way to the nursery.
"Before we arrive guys. We'll have to go to the Room of Requirement where we'll discuss some things that need to not go out." I said, they all looked at me and nodded. We then arrived in the nursery, Madam Pomfrey immediately rushed over me (the girls had made a little break for Nymph) :
"Ah mister Potter. I was surprised to not see you among the injured." I looked at the room and saw the Weasleys, Fleur and Luna standing around Bill, and Remus and Mary MacDonald standing in the corner, Mary treating some of her boyfriend injuries. McGonagall was here too.
"You know me Poppy, I couldn't leave you out of work." I said earning chuckles from Remus and Mary
"Just because you are landing here more often than your father did, does not mean that you too can try to call me that." she said sitting me on a bed
"Hey! You just sound exactly like Nymphadora! And I call her that!" I chuckled. She just rolled her eyes. Mrs Weasley approached :
"H-Harry? I'm sorry but: what's going on? People say Dumbledore is dead..."
"I'm afraid it's true... I, however didn't check on him...."
"Oh...god... Tonks... I'm so sorry for you Harry..." Remus said, concerned.
"Professor? What happened?.... What happened to Tonks?" Ginny asked, her voice shaking while looking at me
"Tonks was hit by the killing curse... Harry went on a spree to find Bellatrix and Snivellus. I take it, you didn't found them?"
"A-maz-ing. Everything you just said was utterly wrong!" my fiancee said, entering thanks to the girls.
"Tonks!" everyone shouted
"Yup! And nope." she said being sat on a bed
"Back to when you said that my entire sentence was wrong? What did you meant?"
"That Harry found Snivetrix and beat them." gasp as wide eyes look at me "Unfortunately, they escaped, also I wasn't hit by the killing curse but a rubble in front of me was, unfortunately knocking me out. And finally, I'm no more Tonks." she said, and everyone beside my friends looked puzzled : "You can now refer me as Potter even if we aren't wed for now." she said raising her left hand to show her engagement ring. The atmosphere in the room considerably lightened as several wide smiles covered everyone's face (even McGonagall was smiling rather widely for her usual self)
"Congratulations!" almost everyone said, hugging both of us
"Of course it had to be both students I had the most trouble with in the past 28 years..." she said
"Hey! And us?" the twins protested
"Believe me, you didn't cause such a ruckus. It's amazing how in two years those Ravagers not only managed to beat your 6 years in, but also the 7 of the Marauders... Who knows what might have happened if Harry was raised by them..." she said glancing at Remus who chuckled guiltily.
"Ever heard of upside down Hogwarts professor?" I asked, the other laughed while she shivered.
"Wait... Can you go back a notch?" Fred asked
"Raised by the Marauders?" George completed
"What... ?" Hermione began
"We never told you guys?" I continued
"Wow sorry! Well..."
"We are children of a Marauder,"
"God children of another,"
"And honorary nephew and niece of another."
"Merlin... There's two pair..." McGonagall said sitting down, taking her forehead in her hands
"Wow really?" Fred
"Which is which?" George
"And who?"
"Well our dear father," I said
"...who turn in the same form as my dear twin," sis continued
"...think about Astronomy for our godfather,
"...and finally, the last one is in the room."
"OK so let's go! First," George
"James Potter... Wait...." Fred
"Form?", I turned to my sis and grinned to see she was mirroring it, and I turned into Cornedrue. "What the-?!"
"The Marauders were Animagi?!" Fred
"Oh my god. Prongs!" his twins said "He was a deer! Okay err godfather..."
"Sirius... Like the star?.... A dog!"
"Padfoot ! There's one in the room... Mom and dad couldn't..."
"Sorry....... Minnie wouldn't have done it, besides, she's a cat..."
"Poppy wouldn't have done anything like that, and the rest of the room is too young except for..."
"Lupin who is a werewolf! Moony!"
"But wait... Who's Wormtail?" both asked.
"OK. First of all, I want both pairs of twins to cease talking in turns." Remus said massaging his neck "I swear I'm getting a whiplash. Secondly, well done for your guesses, and thirdly. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew. He betrayed James and Lily." he said, darkly. Everyone looked at him with sympathy, except the Ravagers who smirked at him, to which he mirrored.
"OK... Before anyone leave this room... No one must know about what happened here. Not about Potter and I nor what I'm able to do. That includes you Hagrid." I said turning toward the nursery door. A yelp:
"Alright ye are Harry!" he said from the door, and everyone's eyes widened, but I just laid down. Suddenly, the sound of metal scraping stone was heard. I opened my eyes and saw Nymphadora getting her bed closer, I smiled and flicked my wand, getting it next to mine.
"Clever." she said before snuggling against me. Let's just say that I was fast asleep. I woke up very early the next day and gently shook Nymphadora and the others awake.
"Follow me." I said, they grumbled but nodded. Finally we arrived in front of the Room of Requirement and entered.
"What the hell is he doing here?!" Ron screamed seeing Malfoy
"Finally! These Elves wouldn't let me go! And they didn't want to say who ask them to keep me! Although I have to say that I'm surprised it's you Potter." he said narrowing his eyes.
"Yeah yeah, you still hate me, and think by my fault your mother will die but shut up and listen to me : I'm going to floo you to an address that will keep you safe. There, you will see some people, don't faint, they'll explain a part of how, don't ask for more." he nodded, suspicious of me. "Your mother will join you in the following days, you will explain to her what they said to you before she can see them, got it?" another nod. I then went to a corner of the room, taking my mirror out :
"Sirius Black." his face appeared:
"Hey Pup! How are you doing? Why are you calling me?" he said as Marlene rose beside him :
"Hey Harry! Doing good?"
"Yeah I am... But... Sorry, there's no positive way to announce it so I'll just be blunt : Dumbledore died." both opened wide eyes, and, seeing I was not joking, finally reacted:
"Fuck! How the hell?!" Marlene asked
"Snape killed him, but, we'll discuss about it later in the day : for now, I'll just send someone by the floo. Make sure you all are dressed and in the same room when he arrives. Sadly, I need him to faint. That way, will discuss together." I said, both nodded jumping out of bed and I ended the call: "Okay Malfoy, get ready, you will soon leave for the safe place."
"Are you sure Harry? I mean... Voldemort could have asked him to discover where they are, or... Your secrets..." Potter said, looking at me worried.
"Yes I am. Tom couldn't have known at all they are alive, and he doesn't trust Malfoy enough. Besides, they will keep him inside, and he wouldn't get out. Sorry..." I said to the blonde teen who just shrugged :
"I understand, don't worry." he said. I made a floo appeared :
"Ready?" I asked, he nodded. "12 Grimmauld square." I said throwing floo powder in the cheminey.
"Thank you... Harry." he said offering his hand. And this time, I accepted and shook his. He stepped in the fireplace, nodding at everyone. 15 minutes later, my parents, my godfather and his girlfriend were stepping in the Room of Requirement.
"So... What happened?" my dad asked. We explained everything.
"So let me resume..." Marlene began
"Snape killed Dumbledore..." Sirius continued
"But it was orchestrated by Dumbledore himself..." mom said
"Who was dying anyway." dad finished
"Yes."
"And you want us to hide it to everyone else in the Order?" Potter asked
"Yes."
"Why?" my sister questioned
"No one except the person present in this room and Snape, can, either take on mentally Riddle, or won't have to face him for some time, along with his followers." I said.
"What do you mean, won't have to face him for some time?" mom asked worried
"I mean that I for sure, won't come back next year. With Dumbledore gone, it's just a matter of time before Voldemort take over, at least non-officially. I will be hunted down, and I won't stay still for that time being. Dumbledore show me something, and I will finish it. And I know for a fact that my fiancee, my sister, her boyfriend and our friend, will follow me. So we will be on the run. Period." I stated.
"Wait wait wait.... Rewind the conversation a bit : fiancee?!" Sirius asked/screamed.
"Oh right we haven't told you guys yet!" Nymphadora exclaimed, showing her ring. Mom squealed happily and caught the pinkette in a back-breaking hug while dad and Sirius thumped my back.
"Congratulations! I'm so proud of you!" mom said turning to me, and hugging the shitting soul out of me. I turned toward Hermione :
"Sis.... I... Can see... Where you're hug... Come from... More like... Feel, come to think of it...." I managed. Hermione chuckled.
"Well... Besides the fact that I am very happy for you... What can we do for you?" Marlene asked. "I know that you won't change your mind at all..."she added.
"Stay safe and hidden. Keep an eye on Malfoy and his mother, and finally, try if you can to search for all artifacts that belonged to either Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor. It's something that will help us like nothing else." I said. They nodded.
"Of we don't find any informations around summer, don't worry. We might found them with the Potter manor, but it won't be open before you decide to unlock it on your birthday." Dad explained, I nodded and hugged him and mom goodbye before doing the same to my dogfather and his girlfriend. We then returned to the nursery and got back to our bed. Then, we (the teachers and I) decided that the students could stay for Dumbledore's funeral before going back home. The ceremony was heavy and not accurate, describing Dumbledore as some almighty savior, which he sometimes was, but he was also the nice headmaster of Hogwarts, he had some flaws, especially in his reasoning, but he was deep down always pure and kind in his reasoning, removing the soul piece in me. 'Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!' those were the words best describing him. And this signed the end of what would be my last year at Hogwarts.
