McGonagall ushered Ron and Hermione out of the room as she prepared to tell Harry whatever it was she wanted to tell him.
"Potter, Professor Dumbledore wanted me to tell you something. He wanted me to tell you this when Voldemort was at his most vulnerable. After what you have told me about the horcruxes, I believe that there is one Horcrux left." McGonagall said.
"The snake is the last horcrux." Harry explained.
"Yes." McGonagall sighed.
"You know?" She began.
"You meant a great deal to Professor Dumbledore. If he had known what you were plotting..." McGonagall said, unable to continue any further.
Harry hung his head in shame for a moment.
"What is it you wanted to tell me?" Harry asked, impatient.
"Professor Dumbledore wanted me to tell you that that night in Godrics Hollow, when you survived the killing curse from Voldemort and your mother provided the ultimate sacrifice for you, the spell rebounded on Voldemort and a part of his soul latched itself upon the only living thing it could find." McGonagall found tears choking the back of her throat.
Harry could tell where this was going. "You."
Harry's heart sank.
"There's a reason you can speak to snakes, Harry. There's a reason that you can see into Lord Voldemorts mind. A part of Voldemort lives inside you." Explained professor McGonagall in a dramatic yet sad tone.
Harry felt slightly nauseous.
"You were the horcrux he never meant to make Harry." McGonagall continued, tears glistening in her eyes.
Harry could tell from her expression that she had more to say.
Before he asked her, he figured it out himself.
"To kill Voldemort we need to destroy all the horcruxes, so if I'm another horcrux, that means..." Harry stopped.
"It means that I must die." Harry finished.
Professor McGonagall stood in silence. She didn't have to say anything. Harry knew it was true.
"And Voldemort himself must do it." McGonagall said, her voice came out as a croak.
They both stood in silence.
Harry and McGonagall looked out of the window. The enchantments had been put up. Hogwarts was ready to fight.
Harry could see that past the enchantments, past the barrier protecting Hogwarts, he could see that the death eaters had arrived. Voldemort was here.
