You dash across the grounds, hunting for Voldemort. This has to end, even if it costs you your life.As you race forward, you bump into Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry grips your shoulders to steady you. "It's gone, the Diadem."Your heart sinks a bit, realizing there's just one horcrux left. Nagini.
"What are you doing out here?" Ron breathes heavily.
"I... I was going to find the snake."
"Are you mad? Alone?" Ron exclaims."We'll go with you," Hermione says, grabbing your arm and pulling you along.
"Harry knows where he is. He saw him," she adds as you all sprint through the courtyard toward the dock.When you reach the dock, you drop to your knees outside and peek through the window. There's Voldemort, the snake, and Snape.
"The elder wand, cannot serve me properly because I am not it's true master. The elder wand belongs to the wizard who killed it's past owner." You can hear Voldemort say to Snape with his evil voice.
He steps closer to Snape. "You killed Dumbledore, Severus. While you live, the elder wand cannot truly be mine."
The four of you give each other a panicked look as you listen to Voldemort, still being cautious of your surroundings.
"You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus, but only I can live forever."
You open your hand, about to do something to Voldemort until Hermione stops you and you realise there's nothing you can do in this moment. It would only draw attention to the four of you and make it even more dangerous.
"My lord-" Severus is cut off by his neck being slit by Voldemort. He falls to the floor in shock and pain, thudding against the window you are all peering through.
"Nagini, kill." Voldemort whispers and the snake listens to his command. She hisses and attacks Snape multiple times before he begins to lose enough blood to kill him.
As Snape finds himself alone, Voldemort vanishes, taking the snake with him. You all rush in, and Harry kneels beside Snape, placing a hand on his neck and pressing down firmly. Harry's eyes widen as he sees tears starting to stream down Snape's face."Please... take them," Severus pleads, asking Harry to collect his tears. Hermione quickly pulls out a small vial, which Harry takes and positions under Snape's eyes, letting a few tears fall into it.
Snape whispers a few final words before slowly slipping away. Just as you're about to leave, a sudden gust of wind sweeps through, accompanied by a loud ringing in your ears.
"You have fought valiantly, but in vain. I do not wish this. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a terrible waste. I therefore command my forces to retreat. In their absence, dispose of your dead with dignity." Voldemort's voice echoes over everyone, causing Hermione and Ron to cover their ears against the noise.
"Y/n Y/l/n, I now speak directly to you. On this night, you have allowed your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. There is no greater dishonor. Join me in the forbidden forest and confront your fate. If you do not do this, I shall kill every last man, woman and child who tries to conceal you from me." The voice gradually fades.
You glance at Hermione, Harry, and Ron, who are all looking back at you. In silence, you all begin to walk back to the castle.
As you step into the castle, you notice stretchers being used to carry bodies into the great hall. Hermione, Harry, and Ron stride in to lend a hand and assess the situation. You, on the other hand, hang back, peering into the hall from the entrance. You're frozen in place, reluctant to move or look away.
