A/N: For my story the horcruxes don't exist.

Chapter 14

Adrianne awoke early the next morning, before it was even light out. As she slid into a sitting position in the bed, Snape pushed the door open with a plate of breakfast and juice.

"Eat, Potter."

Adrianne realized, even though Snape hadn't changed his curt diction, his words didn't come out harsh anymore. Everything he said sounded warm and comforting, even though the words spoken had not changed.

Adrianne instantly asked, "what's going on outside?"

Snape looked at Adrianne, quiet at first. "Today is the day to satisfy the prophesy."

Adrianne normally, would be shocked at this response, but from the moment she woke up, she knew it was time.

"Dumbledore had some lessons he wanted me to go over with you when they time came, just a review on Occlumency and there is some preparation for performing an unforgiveable curse." Snape paused. "Adrianne, I wouldn't be doing this if we all didn't think you're ready."

Adrianne nodded in full agreement, surprised again to hear her first name.

"Very well, eat, get dressed and join me in my office please," Snape concluded as he stepped out of the bedroom.

Adrianne entered his office, remembering the last time she took Occlumency lessons from him, but Adrianne had a feeling this time would be different…

This time is was different. All the unpleasantness of learning from Snape was gone. This allowed Adrianne to learn much quicker and more efficiently than she had in the past. Snape had prepared her in all the ways he thought necessary before dawn had even arrived.

Adrianne soon found herself walking up the dungeon stairs with Snape at her side. Adrianne's heart feeling like it would explode from her chest. Adrianne stopped walking. Snape wordlessly, turned and looked at her concerned. Adrianne then grabbed Snape's hand and continued walking towards the castle entrance. Upon reaching the closed castle doors, the pair stopped. Snape then squeezed Adrianne's hand and she lookup up at him, and nodded. Then Snape opened the heavy door.

Adrianne felt astounded as Snape opened the door and she gazed out. The sun was beginning to rise as all the members of The Order were still fighting Death Eaters. Instantly, a masked death eater began casting spells at the two. Although he was masked, Adrianne could recognize his long blonde hair, blonde hair just like his son's, Lucius Malfoy.

"Stupefy!" Snape exclaimed as he wrapped his arm around Adrianne and swiftly moved himself in front of her, blocking her from harm. Adrianne remained blocked from harm until she heard a familiar cackle- Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Bitty, baby, Potter, come back to die now?"

Adrianne felt Snape's hand grab her forearm, holding her back. Earlier in the office one of the lessons Snape instructed Adrianne on was timing¸ and waiting until the right moment before making any moves, and especially not being irrational. But Adrianne ignored all that now. She wanted revenge on Draco Malfoy yesterday, and today she wanted it on Bellatrix Lestrange. Adrianne jerked away from Snape's grasp and ran towards Bellatrix, wand at the ready.

"Potter!" Snape exclaimed, although he was still dueling with Lucius Malfoy, he took large steps, leading in Adrianne's direction.

"I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!" Bellatrix hoaxed as the sun now was shining over the trees, illuminating the grounds. Adrianne was now sprinting towards Bellatrix, Snape trying to keep up.

"You!" Adrianne screamed at Bellatrix, hate burning in her voice, all the members of The Order seems to take notice of Adrianne's rage, along with the Death Eaters, pausing to look at the pair.

Adrianne pointed her wand at Bellatrix and opened her mouth to cast a spell, but before she could Bellatrix stunned Adrianne. Before Adrianne knew it she was flying backwards in the air, landing crudely on the ground, even further from Snape.

Before Adrianne could even get up, Bellatrix stood over her, wand pointing, "Crucio!"

Adrianne felt unbearable pain, and twitched uncontrollably, until then it stopped. Adrianne slowly got up and saw Bellatrix stunned, Snape holding his wand in her direction.

"Severus," came a hissing voice, the voice of Lord Voldemort, who appeared out of nowhere, "although you truly have changed your loyalty, you won't be stopping me from what I intend to do today."

"Tom, your intentions are not wise," Dumbledore said approaching. Dumbledore moved quickly towards Snape's side. Adrianne got up and moved over to the pair. Dumbledore stepped in front of her, shielding her from Voldemort.

"Ah, Adrianne Potter, are you ready now?" Voldemort hissed as though he could see through Dumbledore. At this point all the other battles between the Death Eaters and The Order had paused. Both sides equally interested in what would happen next.

Adrianne gently squeezed herself between the two professors, so that she was face to face with him.

"Hello, Voldemort," she stated, unfalteringly.

Adrianne raised her wand as Voldemort loomed over her, Voldemort being much taller than the girl. Yet, Adrianne wasn't intimidated. She felt Snape and Dumbledore at her sides, both of them had raised wands as well.

Adrianne then heard a worried gasp come from the distance. She looked in the direction of the school, and saw Hermione on the steps of the castle, with her hand over her mouth, Ron and Neville at her side.

Adrianne's heart began pounding through her veins, her palms starting to sweat, but she gripped her wand tightly, thinking to herself, "I can't believe this moment has come…"

Voldemort and Adrianne starred at each other, waiting for the other's reaction. Adrianne glanced up at her watchful friends. Hermione had her head in the creak of Ron's neck, worriedly crying.

"Crucio!" Voldemort cried unexpectedly, Adrianne falling to the ground between Snape and Dumbledore, convulsing violently. Snape instantly dropped to the ground to hold Adrianne in his arms. Snape squeezed Adrianne, in an attempt to physically stop her movements.

"Expelliarmus," Dumbledore ejected Voldemort's wand from his hand. Voldemort gave Dumbledore a look of pure hatred as Snape helped Adrianne to her feet again. Snape could feel Adrianne's strength slipping away because of all the curses placed on her. Snape knew she would have to perform the spell soon, or she soon wouldn't have the strength.

Voldemort, beginning to feel fear, hissed, "what do you think you could possibly do to me? Whatever Dumbledore and Snape have been telling you about defeating me, it's a lie. You won't be able to take down the most powerful wizard of all time!" Voldemort shouted, beginning to regain confidence.

Adrianne stated smoothly, "Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard of all time."

Voldemort gave a look of repulsion, while Dumbledore glowed.

Voldemort moved closer to Adrianne. "Don't for a second think you can defeat me," Voldemort spat. Then he placed his thumb on Adrianne's scar. Adrianne felt the burning and screamed as Voldemort applied more pressure. "You're weak, Potter, you always will be weaker than me. You will be weak just like you mother was and you'll die, pathetically like her. And that is why I will win." Voldemort removed his thumb.

Anger filled Adrianne. Hatred pumped through her veins. This was the wizard that took her parents from her, he was the reason she never could have a normal life. She had to do this, for her parents.

"My mother was not weak. She died for me. For me to live, and kill you…" Voldemort held up his wand, Adrianne could feel him trying to explore her thoughts, but Snape had re-taught her this morning to properly block Voldemort's mind power, and she did. Then suddenly Adrianne, wand pointing at Voldemort cried, "Avada Kedavra!" With a flash of green light Voldemort fell lifeless to the ground.

Adrianne stood in shock before she suddenly heard Bellatrix cry in sorrow in the distance as she came running to Adrianne.

"You filthy! You outrageous!" Bellatrix was screaming in disgust at Adrianne. Adrianne kept her wand out. Now she wanted to kill Bellatrix, too. And avenge Sirius.

Snape put a hand on Adrianne's shoulder and whispered, "No, Potter, I know how you feel, but you mustn't. Sirius wouldn't want you to be a killer."

And with that being said, Adrianne looked into Snape's eyes, but then Snape looked away and pointed his wand at Bellatrix and shouted, "Avada Kedavra!"

Then Bellatrix was gone. Snape had killed her, for Adrianne. Snape had ended taken her life, just as suddenly as she had taken Sirius's. After Snape's killing curse, the rest of the Death Eaters disappeared. Aparating into the sky.

Adrianne looked at Snape bewildered. Then she ran into his arms. Snape actually gave a wide smile and held her tightly, "you, did you, do that for me?" Adrianne said her arms around Snape's neck.

"Yes, Adrianne, and I'd do anything for you," Snape whispered in reply.

The rest of The Order members starred at Snape and Adrianne in disbelief of what they were seeing. Ron, Hermione and Neville gaped at Adrianne from the steps of the castle. And Dumbledore smiled; glad the two could finally get along, even though everyone else still couldn't believe. Ron, Hermione and Neville then came running closer to join everyone.

Adrianne let go of Snape and turned to her friends. The four found themselves in a tight group hug, Adrianne's friends feeling truly pleased that Snape and Adrianne were finally companions. Then Ron and Hermione broke away, leaving Neville and Adrianne embracing each other.

Neville then, shockingly, pulled Adrianne into a passionate kiss in front of everyone. They heard Lupin wolf whistle, which seemed appropriate for him, and some claps, as the rest of The Order began hugging and rejoicing happily.

After moments of shared joy, Order members slowly began returning into the castle, until only Neville, Snape and Adrianne remained. Neville put his arm around Adrianne as the three began walking to the castle for a proper breakfast.

"Longbottom, I need to speak to Potter, alone. If you could go ahead to the castle," Snape asked. Neville nodded, giving a smile to Adrianne before taking off. Adrianne watched Neville run off towards the castle as she waited for Snape to speak.

"The school year is almost over," Snape stated. Adrianne didn't understand where he was going with this. Snape then seemed to be at a difficulty for words, "Potter, I don't know if you have any plans for the summer holiday or if you wanted to go back to your muggle relatives," Adrianne giggled at that last statement. Snape the corners of Snape's mouth turned up in a small smile, "I didn't think that was the case after what happened there last summer."

Snape then paused. Putting his hands on Adrianne's shoulders, looking at her seriously, "But, I… Well, I wanted to… I wanted to offer you residence at my summer home, with me." Snape finished quickly.

Adrianne looked at Snape speechless, not expecting an offer like this.

After Adrianne didn't answer immediately Snape began, "this is just an offer, you may turn it down-" Adrianne then interrupted Snape.

"Professor Snape, I can't imagine any other way I'd like to spend my holiday." Adrianne said, being downright truthful.

A wide smile stretched across Snape's face as Adrianne took his hand and then they returned to the castle together.

The End.
