36#"You have your mother's eyes"

[BELLA'S POV]

Later that night, as we gathered in the dormitory, I could feel the exhaustion settling into my bones. Ron sat beside me on my bed, his arm draped over my shoulders. "You okay?" he asked, his voice soft.

"Yeah," I said, leaning into him. "It's just... everything feels so heavy, you know?" He nodded, his fingers tracing soothing patterns on my arm. "I know. But we're in this together, Bella. No matter what happens, we'll face it side by side."

I turned to look at him, his blue eyes filled with unwavering determination. "I love you, Ron." He smiled, his eyes softening. "I love you too, Bella. And we're going to get through this. All of us."

The next few days were a blur of planning and preparation. We gathered information, mapped out potential strategies, and made sure we had everything we needed for our final confrontation. Amidst all the chaos, Ron and I found moments of quiet solace, holding on to each other as we faced the unknown.

Finally, the day arrived.  Death Eather were all over Hogwarts, along with Voldemort. We stood in front of the large fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, ready to make our way to the Forbidden Forest, where we believed Voldemort was hiding. 

"Ready?" Harry asked, looking at each of us. "As we'll ever be," I said, gripping Ron's hand tightly. As we entered the dense woods, the air grew colder, and the shadows deepened. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig made us jumpy. But we pressed on, driven by the knowledge that this was our last chance to end Voldemort's reign of terror.

We found a clearing and crouched down, peering through the underbrush. In the distance, we could see a campfire, and the unmistakable figure of Voldemort, with Nagini coiled beside him. "There he is," Harry whispered. "We have to get close enough to kill Nagini without alerting him."

"How are we going to do that?" Hermione asked, her voice barely audible. "Leave it to me," Ron said, determination etched on his face. "I'll create a distraction. Bella, you and Harry focus on Nagini. Hermione, be ready with a shield charm in case things go south."

"Ron, no," I protested, fear gripping my heart. "It's too dangerous." He cupped my face in his hands, his eyes locking with mine. "I have to, Bella. We don't have a choice. Trust me." Tears welled in my eyes, but I nodded, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. "Be careful."

He gave me a reassuring smile before slipping away into the shadows. Moments later, we heard a commotion as Ron cast a series of spells, drawing Voldemort's attention away from Nagini. Now!" Harry hissed, and we moved swiftly toward the snake.

As we closed in, Nagini sensed our presence and hissed, baring her fangs. Harry raised his wand, and with a cry of "Diffindo!" he slashed through the air. The spell struck true, and Nagini's body went limp, her eyes glazing over. But she was not dead, quite the oppostite.

"Ron run!" We apparated back to Hogwarts and I layed Ron on my bed. "Are you okay?" "My head hurts. Fred and George are outside if you want to say hi, the whole Order of the Phoenix is." I ran outside and could see my favorite twins making jokes. That was what I most loved in them, even in the darkest times, they would always have the brightest smile on their faces.

"George! Fred!" I ran to them and they hugged me. "Our little Potter, we missed you so much." "I missed you more. Look, I don't know how the war is going to go, so if I never see you again always remember that I love you." George's eyes teared up. "Don't say that little Potter," Fred forced a smile is his tears. "We won't let anyone hurt you."

I went back to Harry, in the Great Hall and Ron was already healed. Suddenly I felt a  huge headache and fell. "Give me Bella Potter...  give me Bella and you'll be rewarded... give me Bella and you'll be protected.."  "What are you waiting for? Somebody grab her!" Pansy Parkinson screamed and Ron put himself in front of me, followed by the Order.   

"Stay back," Ron growled, his wand raised, determination blazing in his eyes. "She's not going anywhere," Harry added, stepping forward. "We stand together." "All of us," Hermione said, her voice steady as she joined Ron and Harry.

I took a deep breath, finding strength in their resolve. "We need to finish this," I said, my voice trembling but firm. "Let's find Professor Snape, I have a feeling he knows what's going on."

AS we stood next to him, Voldemort came in and we covered ourselves in my Invisibility cloak. "The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Dumbledore, Severus. While you live, the Elder Wand cannot truly be mine."

"My Lord..." Snape was terrified. "You have been a good and faithful servant, Severus. But only I can live forever." I realize he is about to kill Snape, but when he goes away I might have time to save him. "Nagini, kill." Nagini, inside her protective sphere, strikes out, biting Snape viciously. Snape falls to the ground, bleeding profusely from the wounds. Voldemort leaves the boathouse, taking Nagini with him.

"Professor..." I kneel beside Snape, trying not to cry. "Take...it...Take it..." He takes out a memory and puts it in a bottle. "Look...at...me..." "Yes Professor?" I hold his hand and his neck, trying to stop the blood from Nagini's bites.

"You have your mother's eyes." With a final shuddering breath, Snape dies. "No.. Professor no.." I lay next to him crying in pain. Ron holds my hand in confort and looks at me. "We have to see his memory before it's too late. Dumbledore's office."
