Chapter 1

A figure stood, among the smoldering ruins that was Hogwarts grounds. Panting slightly, he kept his wand steady, pointing in the direction where smoke from a recent explosion was beginning to settle, a faint shadow now able to be seen through the smog. Sweat trailed down the first figure's forehead, where a thin lightening-shaped scar lay, more cuts and bruises accompanying it from their recent battle. His messy black hair covered in dust and debris, from when part of the castle had been blown into. It had been a wirlwind of a year, and now his hard work and pain was finally being payed off. Standing in these ruins was Harry Potter.

After a few more moments, the fog had lifted, and standing where the shadow had once been was Lord Voldemort. He laughed a spine-chilling, cold laugh. This did nothing to cease Harry's anger, and vengence and hate clouded the boy's emerald green orbs.

"I know what you've been up to for the past few months Harry," Voldemort said with an evil smile spreading over his features. "You've been destroying my horcruxes." When Voldemort said this, a grim look appeared on his face, making him look even uglier than when he wore his twisted smile.

Harry stayed silent, staring at the man he despised more than any other.

"Then again," Voldemort started, smirking again. "I guess I'm not the only one who has lost something dear to me."

At this Harry made a jerking move and screamed.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Protego!"

Harry panting slightly, finally spoke. "You killed them… it was all you." This was more of a statement than a question as Harry knew exactly who had sent the Dementors and Death Eaters after his friends. Tears stung his eyes and threatened to spill over but Harry stopped them. He would not give Voldemort the satisfaction of seeing Harry in pain.

"Yes, ingenious wasn't it?" Voldemort said idly. "Sending Dementors to suck out your best friends souls, and then telling my faithful Death Eaters to kill them, right in front of you." A twisted grin spread over his features once again.

Harry felt himself shaking slightly in anger. The memory of his two best friend's staring, blank, eyes gazing into his own, sent shivers down his spine. Those soulless orbs, once cotaining such joy and innocence, now portraying nothing. Then the sound of Death Eaters coming up behind them and shouting the Avada Kedavra. He'd got his own back though, Harry thought angrily, he had avenged their deaths.

"And now it is time for you to possess the same fate." Voldemort said, raising his wand. "Goodbye Harry Potter. Avada Kedavra!"

"Harry!"

It all happened in slow motion, Harry saw the blast of green light hurtling towards him, followed by a cold laugh. Ginny, who had called Harry beforehand, tried to run up to him but the look in her eyes showed she knew it was too late. She looked mournfully at Harry, a pleading look on her face , before he turned back towards Voldemort and screamed.

"Diligo Interficio!"

The light that errupted from his wand was pink with tints of gold in it. The beam collided with Voldemort's green blast, causing a white sphere to be created in the centre. It quickly grew and, as Ginny reached Harry and grasped his arm, the white orb exploded. Voldemort's high-pitched scream could be heard as Harry and Ginny fell to the ground, clutching each other.

Then the bright light disappeared and Harry dared to open his eyes. What he saw was a glowing white orb, hovering above the ground. On the other side of the ball of light, lay a cloaked figure on the floor. The face was snake-like and the open eyes were blood-red. Voldemort, the darkest yet greatest wizard ever known, was dead.

Harry clutched Ginny closer to him as she whimpered. The orb hovered over to the two, paused, and then divided and floated into each of the two's skin where they were absorbed. Althought both Harry and Ginny didn't notice, they both began to glow, brighter and brighter. Then the light disappeared, along with the boy and girl, from this world, forever.
