Death eaters appeared along with the Dark Lord and Hagrid carrying Harry's body.

Ginny started freaking out.

"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort boomed.

"NO!!!!" Ginny yelled, running but we held her back.

"Would anyone like to join us?" Voldemort asked smirking. "Draco?"

Everyone turned to Draco, who was standing next to Hermione.

"Draco, come." Uncle Lucius demanded.

Draco shook his head, taking Hermione's hand.

"You- you and a mudblood?!" Lucius roared.

"Don't talk about her that way!" Draco yelled.

Lucius fell silent. and gave Draco a look of disgust.

Mom spotted me, and took a step forward.

"Amethyst, my daughter, come and join us." She smiled.

I shivered, standing next to Neville.

"I didn't get that damn mark for a reason. I don't want to become one of you. You make me sick." I replied.

"You are my daughter!" She screamed. "You will obey me! You are a LeStrange! You were born to be one of us!"

"I stopped being your daughter the minute you threw me in that bloody chamber! You killed Uncle Sirius. That I can never forgive you for."

She smiled and walked away.

Neville stepped forward.

"Ah you, boy, what is your name?" The Dark lord asked.

"Neville Longbottom." He said as the death eater erupted with laughter.

"Well come and join us-"

"I want to say something first."

"Well, Neville, I'm sure we'd all be interested as to what you have to say."

"It doesn't matter that Harry is dead." Neville started.

"Neville-" I said.

"It's true. People die everyday. Friends, family. Fred, Lupin, Tonks. They didn't die in vain." Faced Voldemort. "But you will! Because Harry's heart did beat for us. For all of us! It's not over!" He pulled out the sword of Gryffindor.

Suddenly, Harry fell from Hagrid's hands, grabbing his wand.

Clearly still alive.

Then, there was chaos.

Neville had shown his Gryffindor courage.

And it payed off.
