The final battle raged on, a whirlwind of curses and counterspells, screams of defiance, and flashes of blinding light. Dark wizards clashed with the forces of the Order of the Phoenix, and the very air felt heavy with the weight of the war's culmination. The grounds of Hogwarts, once a place of safety and learning, were now a battlefield, scarred by fire and shadow.
In the midst of the chaos, Moony and Padfoot fought with everything they had. The grief, the betrayal by Wormtail, the loss of Prongs and Lily—they channelled all of it into every spell they cast. Padfoot was relentless, his movements quick and precise, his face set in grim determination as he took down Death Eaters one by one. His rage was like wildfire, untamed and fierce, but there was purpose behind every strike of his wand.
Moony fought beside him, quieter but no less deadly. His magic was sharp, his focus unwavering, and even as exhaustion pulled at him, he never faltered. His mind often drifted to thoughts of Harry—the little boy who had lost so much before he even had a chance to know it. And now, they were fighting for him, for the future he deserved, for a world free from Voldemort's tyranny.
They moved as one, covering each other's backs, their bond stronger than ever. Every time Padfoot fell into danger, Moony was there to shield him, and when Moony stumbled, Padfoot's fierce determination brought him back into the fray.
It felt like hours had passed, the battle stretching on as if it would never end. But then, at last, a shift in the tide came. Voldemort's forces were weakening, their lines breaking under the pressure of the resistance. And in the distance, a cry went up—Voldemort had fallen. The Dark Lord was dead.
The battle was over.
The field was littered with the wounded, the fallen, and the survivors who had endured more than any human should. The air was thick with the smell of smoke, the cries of the injured, and the heavy silence that came with victory hard-won.
Moony and Padfoot stood together, breathing heavily, the weight of it all beginning to settle on their shoulders. They shared a look—one filled with the exhaustion of the fight, the grief of what they had lost, but also the unspoken relief that it was over. Voldemort was gone. The war was over.
