Alicia Snape (Book 7)

Chapter 17

~Alicia's POV~

I marched with Narcissa with my head down not daring to look at anyone.

Everyone came out of the castle and the Dark Lord smiled sickly.

Hagrid was holding Harry for everyone to see.

"Whose that? Hagrid is holding. Who is that?" Ginny asked.

"Harry Potter. Is DEAD!" The Dark Lord said.

"NOOOO! NO!" Ginny yelled only to be held back by her father.

"Silence!" The Dark Lord said before slashing his wand.

"Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth. You put your faith. In me." Everyone looked at him in fear.

He turned toward us and said "HARRY POTTER IS DEAD!" And mostly everyone laughed.

The Dark Lord laughed too which it sounded weird and I wanted to laugh myself at how weird he laughed.

"And now it is time to declare yourselves. Join us or die."

No one moved. No one dared to.

I looked to Draco and I knew what he truly wanted.

I walked forward only to be held back.

I looked behind me to see Lucius shaking his head.

He looked up holding his hand out and said "Draco. Come here."

He didn't move and Narcissa said "Draco. Come."

He looked down and finally moved.

"Ah Draco. Well done. Well done Draco."

The Dark Lord hugged him with open arms and some were trying to hold back their laughs at how awkward it was.

I hugged him and looked at Maria.

She smiled sadly but looked at her father worriedly.

"Where is my daughter?" He asked looking to me.

I gulped and said "Dead. An explosion of the wall hit her wrong it killed her."

"What a pity. She would have been a good second in command when my son Trevor takes my place." He said holding out his hand. Trevor came up and smirked.

He looked at me and I froze.

He knew. I don't know how but he knew.

"She lies father. She is alive. You see. Maria has been claimed and she looks completely different."

"Trevor don't do this." I pleaded with him.

"She will be disowned anyways. Because of how she was claimed Snape."

"So you want your sister in danger? Are you mad? She is your own blood."

"Not anymore."

I conjured up fire and threw it his way.

The Dark Lord stopped it and looked to me furiously.

"That is enough of your games girl. Stop living the way your father taught you. He is dead."

I didn't say anything. He wasn't completely right but I still said nothing.

Neville stepped forward and I shook my head.

The Dark Lord turned around and smiled.

"And who might you be."

"Neville Longbottom. I have something to say."

I looked at him in shock.

He can't be serious?!

The Dark Lord looked pissed for a moment until he calmed down saying "Well I'm sure everyone will be fascinated with what you have to say."

"It doesn't matter Harry is dead."

"Stand down Neville." Sheamus said

"People die everyday. Friends. Family. Yeah we lost Harry. But he is still here in here." Neville pointed to his heart and the Dark Lord looked as if he was holding back a laugh.

"He didn't die in vain. But you will. Good always wins. This is not over!" He pulled out the sword and I looked completely shocked.

Harry fell down and stood up firing a hex at the Dark Lord.

"Harry! Run!" I said pushing away.

The Dark Lord made an explosion after explosion.

He escaped.

I smiled until I was slapped across the face.

"I should kill you right now."

"Do it then." I said.

"I will when I'm finished with the boy." He said flying up.

I ran inside knowing he probably snuck in there.

I ran past the Great Hall but froze seeing a glimpse of my mother fighting Ginny.

I ran inside and flew infront of her just as she was stunned.

I pulled my wand out sneering at her until I heard someone say "No. Let me." I looked up and saw a woman similar to Ginny.

I nodded and I walked past her.

She walked up looking pissed. "Not my daughter you bitch!"

I was shocked to hear that come out of her mouth. She looked like a sweet old lady.

She threw a hex after hex until she stunned my mother.

She threw another hex and I smiled.

My mother blew up into a million pieces and she was gone.

I ran up to her and hugged the woman.

"Thank you miss."

"Anytime my dear." She said patting my back.

I smiled and I saw to see a black streak fall outside.

I broke out the window and followed it.

I landed with ease while the other toppled to the ground.

Harry fell out first and the Dark Lord followed.

They stood infront of each other and cast at the same time as they did in my fourth year only without saying anything.

I felt an arm touch me and I turned to see Draco.

I smiled and leaned into him watching the battle.

All of a sudden they stopped and the Dark Lord froze.

It's gone. The last Horcrux.

They cast again and Harry's beam seemed to be more powerful while the Dark Lord's looked really weak.

Harry disarmed him and the wand flew into his hand which he caught with ease.

The Dark Lord sank to his knees and began to decompose.

I looked to Draco and jumped in his arms which he caught me spinning me around.

We were free. The war was over.

It's all over.
