Voldemort flies back as another sliver of his soul is stripped from his body. When he stands it is not Harry Potter on the ground, but his daughter. He crosses the feild, watching Harry Potter who stands very well alive, his chest heaving with breath. Anger blooms in Voldemorts chest as he strikes the buy down. This time he flies back and falls unconscious. Bellatrix rushes to aid him as Narcissa moves to crouch beside the daughter.
Her braid is filled with debris from the ground, skin scorched with ash and dirt. Tears fall onto the girls chest as Narcissa mourns the brave girl. Her shirt is torn and scorched where the dark lord struck his daughter.
The dark lord recovers dismissing Ballatrix's aid before he rushes to his daughter. He yells in anger, casting a curse to the trees.
"Why?" He screams more from anger rather than greif. "Stupid, stupid girl!"
The snake Nagini slithers over slowly to the girl, curling protectively around her body, laying her head on the girls chest.
"Nagini, dinner." He orders the snake to the girl.
The snake makes no move. It simply hisses at the dark lord and continues to lay with the girl. He angrily storms back to the others.
"The boy, is he dead?" Bellatrix asks.
Narcissa wipes the tears from her eyes as she stands moving onto the boy. She crouches by him and finds his chest lightly rising and falling.
"Is he alive?" Narcissa asks the boy so no others hear. "Draco is he alive?"
The boy nods so slightly the woman almost missed it. Narcissa stands and nods tightly. The group does not cheer for they know the war is not over. Rather they stand with pride as the dark lord struts to the edge of the forest to display his victories to the others. Hagrid takes Harry and scoops him in his large arms and Voldemort uses a spell to carry his dead daughter.
The army makes their way across the bridge, imminent victory in their minds. Nagini slithers sadly under the floating girl as they enter the courtyard.
"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort announces.
Ginny weasly screams and moves to reach the buy before Neville longbottom holds her back. The entirety of the school makes their way onto the steps.
"Stupid girl." Voldemort says. "Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth, put your faith in me. Harry Potter is dead!"
The death eaters laugh as Voldemort announces it again. He turns in a circle, holding his arms wide before turning back to the school.
"And now is the time to declare yourself." He says. "Come forward and Join us or die."
No one moves and his grin falls.
"Harry Potter murdered my daughter, Verena Riddle in cold blood." He announces just as Draco, Pansy and Blaise walk into the clearing.
The heart of the three fall and Draco runs. He shoves through the students to reach Verena's floating body.
"Ah, Draco." Voldemort croons to the boy as he runs.
Draco's arm cradle Verena as Voldemort lets her fall. Draco drops to his knees with the girl he loves in his arms. Pain fills his chest, anger, greif, longing. He brushes the girls hair from her eyes as he sobs.
