Torchwick or Grindelwald

Chapter 5: Memories

Hogwarts Boat House No POV

The Golden Trio went to the Boat House and hid as Voldemort and Snape were having a private meeting.

Snape: you have performed extraordinary magic with this wand, my lord, in the last few hours alone.

Voldemort; no. No, I am extraordinary, but the wand resists me.

Snape: there is no wand more powerful. Ollivander himself has said it. Tonight, when the boy comes, it will not fail you. I am sure of it. It answers to you and you only.

Voldemort: does it?

Snape; my lord?

Voldemort; my wand, does it truly answer to me? You're a clever man, Severus. Surely you must know. Where does its true loyalty lie?

Snape; with you, of course, my lord.

Voldemort; 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. You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus, but only I can live forever.

Snape; my lord-

Voldemort sent a smell that made Snape bleed as he fell against the glass as the Golden Trio stayed silent.

Voldemort; Nagini, kill.

Nagini strikes Snape several times as it sounded... very horrific. Voldemort and Nagini Disapparated. The trio went inside as they looked at Snape who was dying as Harry kneeled next to him. Snape looked at Harry as Harry tried to stop bleeding and looked as a tear came out of his eye.

Snape: take them. Take them. Please.

Harry; give me something. Quickly. A flask, anything.

Hermione pulled a flask from her bag and gave it to Harry as Harry opened it and collected the tears.

Snape: take them to the Pensieve. Look at me. You have your mother's eyes.

Snape drew his last breath and went limp. A limp was seen outside as the Trio tried to stay standing up. It was like when Voldemort talked to them in the Great Hall.

Voldemort: <voice> you have fought valiantly... but in vain.

At the castle, Merula disarmed a Death Eater that was trying to kill Fred.

Voldemort: <voice> 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. Harry Potter; I now speak directly to you. On this night, you have allowed your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. This 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 stopped and when the trio returned to Hogwarts, everything was quiet.

Hermione; where is everybody?

They went inside the Great Hall as people were tending the wounded or counting the dead. Harry walked around as Slughorn was tending to Filch's arm wound, many students and staff were resting from the battle, Penny gave the Parvati Twins some potions to help them heal.

Ron ran to his family as they were all alive.

Remus; Harry.

Harry; Lupin. <hugs him> I'm glad you're okay.

Remus: Wade saved me.

Harry; where is...

McGonagall: he went to the Headmaster's office.
