The Extra Malfoy

Chapter 15: The Last Showdown

A few days go by without much incident at the castle. We still continued to walk around, warding off any Dementor's that appeared. Ron and Hermione had returned to destroy the Horcrux's that were inside the school, yet Harry was nowhere to be seen. As I walk around carrying my wand in my hand, I notice someone walking towards the bridge. I run to the great hall to get everyone and we follow McGonagall out. We stand on the top of the stairs looking and I feel my heart drop as I see Hagrid walking along carrying something. I rush down the stairs as Voldemort stands in the middle of the path watching us. "Who is that? Who is Hagrid carrying?" I hear Ginny ask. She goes to run past me but I grab her waist stopping her as she screams. I calm her down. Hermione comes over and moves her to the back of the group, as Hagrid holds him.

"You stupid girl. Harry Potter is dead." Voldemort shouts and I shake my head, clutching my wand tightly. "From this day forth, you put your faith in me." He tells us, before turning to the Death Eaters behind him. "Harry Potter is dead!" He says again causing them to laugh. I shake my head watching my parent's laugh about it. Voldemort turns back to us and holds his arms out. "Now is the time to declare yourself. Come forward and join us." He tells us and I look behind me at the students and parents. "Or die." He tells us. I look over and see my parents watching Draco.

"Draco..." I see my parents call, my father holding his hand out for him. "Come Draco." My mother says. I shake my head watching him. I bite my lip as he walks out of the group and over to Voldemort. He rests his arms on his shoulders. "Welcome, Draco." He says before Draco stands in line with my parents. I shake my head tears filling my eyes as I watch him. I notice Neville walk over, limping slightly. "Well, I must say I hoped for better." Voldemort says and they all laugh again. "And who might you be young man?" He asks Neville as he walks closer. "Neville Longbottom." He answers. "Well Neville, I'm sure we can find a place for you in our ranks." He tells him and Neville speaks up. "I'd like to say something." He tells Voldemort who allows him too. "It doesn't matter that Harry's gone. People die every day, Friends, family. Yeah, we lost Harry tonight but he's still with us, in here." He says pointing to his chest. "They didn't die in vain, but you will, because you're wrong. Harry's heart did beat for us, for all of us." He says pulling the Gryffindor sword out of the Sorting hat, before being launched backwards by Voldemort. I look over and see Harry roll out of Hagrid's arms, casting a spell at Nagini. I watch as Harry runs into the arch ways, running away from everything Voldemort casts. I rush back to the group, moving them out of the way. I look back as I see the Death Eaters and Dementor's fly off one by one. I watch as my Mother pulls Draco away but he stops moving. He removes her hand from his and he turns to me. "I can't leave. Hogwarts is my home." He says to them. "We need to go Draco!" My mother yells at him and he shakes his head, running back to me. I watch him, hugging him tightly, before our parent's disappear. I see Voldemort walking towards us. "Get back in the castle!" Harry shouts and we run inside, I turn around casting protection spells as Harry stands with Ron and Hermione. "We need to kill the snake." He says and Neville walks over, before being shot back by Voldemort's spell. "Neville!" Luna shouts, running over to him. I see Charlie and Pansy helping people to the infirmaries that were injured.

I back everyone up and cast Filipendo, sending as many flying back as I can before McGonagall and other staff can take over. I see Issac stood looking around and I run over taking his hand. "Issac come on!" I shout pulling him away from the front line, Neville following us. I take them both to the staircase before Neville runs off to find Luna. I look at Issac and he kisses me softly. "I know, go." He says and I nod running back to help as he runs to make sure everyone was okay. I run out to the front of the castle again, seeing a few people casting at the Dementor's that remained. I rush into the school seeing Bella fighting with a bunch of students. I walk over and draw my wand aiming it at her. "This is between us Bella." I tell her and she smirks. "Very well." She mutters, firing spells at me but I block them all. I back up into a hall way before casting the Killing Curse. I watch as it hits her, her body tensing in the air before her face begins to crack and she collapses to the ground. I look around and see people needing help so I run over.
