More Than Magic (Hermione x Male reader)

Year 7 - Right Let's Go

"Draco, don't be stupid," Lucius said.

"Come, Draco," Narcissa said.

Her tone is quiet, but absolute. Draco looks into her eyes, then ducks his head and steps forward, avoiding the baleful glances directed his way as he crosses the gulf between factions. Ron mutters poisonously as he passes. 

"He saved your life," Ron said.

Draco falters briefly, stung, and then joins his mother. She hands him a wand, Harry's wand. He stares at it bleakly. 

"Well done, Draco. Who will be next? Hm? Come now, don't be shy," Voldemort said.

Neville limply steps forward. Stunned, the others watch Neville blackened with soot, Sorting Hat in hand limp to a halt in front of Voldemort, who regards him with amusement. 

"Well, I must say, I'd hoped for better. Is this truly the best Hogwarts has to offer?" Voldemort said.

The Death Eaters laugh. Bellatrix grins in cruelamusement. 

"Who might you be, young man?" Voldemort said. 

"Neville Longbottom," Neville said. 

"Well, welcome, Neville. I'm sure we can find a place for you in our ranks," Voldemort said and I could see the shit-eating grin on his face. 

"Someone has to do the washing," Bellatrix said.

"Now, now, Bellatrix. Let's not underestimate our young friend. By stepping forward, he lives to see another day...," Voldemort said.

Voldemort's eyes shift, regarding those standing before him. The implication of his statement is not lost on them. 

"I'd like to say something," Neville said. 

Voldemort's brow furrows vaguely. As he studies Neville, 

"Very well, Neville. I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to hear what you have to say," Voldemort said.

Neville turns to the others, their weary faces regarding him with confusion, and suspicion. 

"It doesn't matter that Harry is gone," Neville said. 

"Stand down, Neville!" Seamus said angrily as he tries to push forward but I grip his arm, and hold him back, though not happily.

"People die every day. Friends.Family. Yes, we lost Harry tonight. But he's still with us, here (tapping his heart) And so is Fred and Remus and Tonks and... all of them. They didn't die in vain.(turning toBellatrix) But you will. (to a trio of DeathEaters) And you and you and you will. (to Voldemort) And so will you. Because you're wrong. Harry's heart did beat for us. All of us... " Neville said. 

Neville takes a step forward, looks Voldemort in the eye and spits. Then he reaches into the Sorting Hat. 

"This isn't over," Neville said as scarlet glints in Voldemort's eyes and he smiles, raising the Elder Wand when Neville in keen anticipation reaches into the Sorting Hat and pulls forth...The Sword of Gryffindor. As Voldemort's wand fires, Neville parries and the curse rebounds, taking out the quartet of Death Eaters flankingBellatrix only she is quick enough to deflect the curse. As she screams in fury, Harry spills from Hagrid's arms. Voldemort wheels wildly in Harry's direction when. 

"Potter!" Draco said and Harry turns. Draco's hand whips forward and to Harry's shock tosses him his wand. Ron and I grin. 

"Well done, Malfoy! (to himself) Can't believe I just said that," Ron and I nod. 

Wand in hand, Harry turns and in one continuous motion fires on Voldemort. Voldemort blocks the spell, eyeing Harry with mild disbelief, then anger.  

Nagini hisses as if attuned to Voldemort's emotions and ribbons toward Harry. As she strikes, Harry sidesteps her by inches then stumbles back and counters. 

"Confringo!" Harry said.

Flames run the length of Nagini with no effect then climb the back of a nearby Death Eater and consume him. Enraged that Harry has attacked Nagini, Voldemort fires a volley of curses. Harry parries the first, then falls back into a cloister. The stonework explodes all around him, creating three ragged holes. He pelts away.

As Harry arrives at the doors to the Great Hall, he finds Ron, Hermione and I there. 

"The snake! We've got to kill the snake!" Harry said. 

"We know," I said.

"Harry! Look out!" Neville said.

Harry wheels, and sees Voldemort drawing a bead on him. As Harry begins to raise his wand, Neville steps between, brandishing the sword just as Voldemort's wand blazes and Neville's world explodes. Taking the full brunt of it all, Neville grimaces, watching as Voldemort's spell like a current of electricity races up the sword's blade to the hilt and pitches off his feet and fifty feet back into the Great Hall. Harry exchanges a glance with Ron, Hermione and I. Their faces say it all, no one could have survived that.

The Entrance Hall explodes with counter-fire as members of the Order, students and staff return fire. Voldemort flicks his wand, the air prickling with disturbance as he summons a shield of air insulating himself from attack. As he sweeps forward, he responds with a devastating series of spells and the Entrance Hall shakes. Harry turns and dashes up the stairs, picking his way through the rubble and limp bodies strewn upon the steps, attempting to draw Voldemort and Nagini away from the others. It works. 

I am with Hermione and Ron in the great hall as we fight back the death eaters that are spilling into the great hall. We see Harry and Vlodeomort are locked in combat but we are far too busy to go to his aid not to mention the snake is with Voldemort. I fire a volley of spells at the death easter in front of me sending him flying across the room giving me time to get to Hermione's side. The Death Eater in front of her soon realises it is a two-on-one and hesitates and in that mommet, I send him tumbling over some rocks. 

"We have to find Harry and deal with the snake that is the only way to end this," I say as Ron comes over.

"But we can't just leave the others," Ron said.

"Trust me they can handle it but not forever without the snake Voldemort is defenceless," I said.

"Right let's go," Hermione said as they nodded and we run off in the direction I saw Harry earlier.
