62: Battle of Hogwarts

The rest of the friend group came over and we explained everything. Harry went to Dumbledore's office to watch the memory Snape gave him.

When he came back, he had a look on his face none of us liked. "What is it Harry?" Hermione asked.

He explained that he was a horcrux too. He was the only thing alive the night Voldemort killed his parents and his soul had to attach itself to something.

He was the horcrux Voldemort never meant to make. And now he has to die by Voldemort himself.

"I wish there was another way." I cried giving him a big hug.

"Me too. Just remember once I'm gone, kill the snake and it's just him. I know you guys can do it." He pulled away from the hug, gave us all one last smile before running off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

None of us knew what to do. Harry was basically committing suicide and we were letting him.

After about an hour, Voldemort came back with all of his death eaters. Hagrid was carrying something. No, not something, someone. Harry.

"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort laughed.

"No!" Ginny took a leap towards him but was held back by her father.

He gave us the classic villain speech and told us to step forward if we wish to join him or be killed.

Nobody moved. We all stood there taking in the loss of Harry. I had a few things to say to Voldemort though. So I took a step forward.

"How was your summer, Voldemort?"

"You!" He pulled out his wand pointing it at me.

"We've been down this road already haven't we?" I taunted.

He put down his wand and clenched his fist.

I was about to say something that surely would have made him pull his wand back out and kill me again but Neville walked forward in front of me.

"Well I had hoped for better. What is your name?"

"Neville Longbottom." Neville answered him. Why is he joining them?

"Well Neville, I'm sure we can find a place for you in our ranks."

"I'd like to say something." I noticed Neville was holding the Sorting Hat that had placed all of us in our houses way back in year one.

"Well Neville, I'm sure we'd all be delighted to hear what you have to say." Voldemort clenched his fist again.

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

"Stand down Neville!" Seamus called.

"People die everyday!" He turned to look at his old friend. "Friends, family. Yeah. We lost Harry tonight. He's still with us, in here." He held his hand to his chest. "So is Fred and Remus. Tonks. All of them."

He paused.

"They didn't die in vain! But you will. Because your wrong! Harry's heart did beat for us. For all of us!" Neville pulled the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat. "It's not over!"

Harry suddenly fell out of Hagrid's arms. "Confringo!" He fired at the snake.

Everyone gasped and smiled at each other. "No way!" Draco laughed in shock. "Pottah didn't die!"

Harry ran through the rubble as Voldemort exploded the walls around him. Death eaters flew out everywhere to go and kill more people or leave the fight.
