The Final

Chapter Twenty

I walk with the others. I'm front of us is the army of Death Eaters. And Hagrid holding a limp body. I quickly realize it's Harry. I move to the front with Neville.

"You're still fighting?" Bellatrix asks me. "Even after you lost Freddie?"

I send death glares at her.

"Don't," Neville whispers in my ear. "That's what she wants. We have to rally the others."

I simply nod my head. Fawkes flies over and lands on my shoulder. Where is this Phoenix when I truly need him? He drops the Sorting Hat in my hands.

"Harry Potter is dead," Voldemort shouts in joy. "Your hero is dead. Who would want to join us."

"Draco," his mum calls. I look to see Draco nervous. I shake my head, but he mouths 'I'm sorry'. He leaves and go to his family. They leave right then and there.

"Anyone else?" Voldemort asks. Neville and I step forward. People start to whisper on our side and the others laugh.

"What's your name young man?" Voldemort asks.

"Neville Longbottom."

The Death Eaters laugh harder. I feel electricity at my fingertips.

"Thing is, Voldemort," I growl, each word dripping with venom. "None of us are going to join you."

"Harry maybe dead," Neville continues. He points to his heart. "But he is in here. And so are all that we have lost. That's what makes us stronger."

"It's what separates us from you," I continue. "We will keep fighting till you're dead."

I give Neville the Sorting Hat and he pulls out the Sword of Godric Gryffindor. Harry leaps out of Hagrid's arms and starts fighting. I start to smile.

A Death Eater uses a spell, trying to drown me. I have the water split in half and look through my soaking wet hair. The water knocks the man down and I run to help others.

I find Neville get up from the rubble. He picks up the sword, not noticing Nigini getting close to him. I whistle in time for Neville to notice.

"Duck," he orders. Nigini tries to attack me, but I duck in time. Still managed to get cut on my bottom lip.

I let my finger touch her stomach. When she lands, she thrashes in pain. I stand up and wipe away the blood. I walk next to Neville.

"You can," he says. I shake my head.

"It has to be you."

He slices Nigini's head off and we sigh. The body turns into ash and disintegrate.

"It's over," I sigh. Neville nods his head. I go outside and look at the rubble and body's everywhere.

I sit on the ledge above the lake and pull out a letter. I reread it. Should I? The trio comes over.

"What's that?" Hermione asks.

"A possible future," I mutter under my breath.

"We'll support you no matter what," Hermione promises. I smile and wipe away a tear that got away. Harry hands me a stone. It has the DeathlyHallows symbol on it.

"Just in case."

I shake my head.

"The dead should rest in piece."

I stand up and throw it as far as I can. We smile and walk away.
