One Last Shot

Disclaimer: well my birthday has passed as did Christmas, New Years and Valentines Day and J.K. Rowling has yet to give me the rights to Harry Potter :/ but I wont lose hope!

You come to me with scars on your wrist; you tell me this will be the last night feeling like this. I just came to say goodbye, I didn't want you to see me cry I'm fine, but I know it's a lie~ Skillet

I'm so sorry it took so long! But now with that dumb app out of the way I will be writing more frequently (hopefully). You know what's sad? My one shot has almost the same amount of reviews as this -_- come on; show those Percy Jackson fans that you all care for Harry Potter more!

Well I promised I'd dedicate a chapter or something to both of you so this chapter is for BarefootBeachBum and Colin.

Chapter 10: Awake and Alive

Two hours later they had packed everything up, Harry picked up the last pack. "Ready to head out?" he asked them, trying to avoid their gazes.

They all murmured their responses, noticing that he wasn't exactly in the mood to chat. When Harry heard the first 'yes' he immediately apparated there. They had all agreed to apparate to different parts of Hogsmead so if one got caught the others wouldn't. If none of them got caught they'd meet up at Hogshead. No one went there anyways, and if they kept their hoods up no one would notice whom they were.

Harry ended up behind the Three Broomsticks; he looked around him to make sure that no one was there. He edged closer to the corner and peered around it. It was strangely quiet. No one was here; he didn't hear a thing from any wizards or witches around… not even from his friends.

"Got you!" he heard someone's voice from above. He looked up and saw three Death Eaters.

"Avada Kedavra!" one of the shouted. Harry dived away from the spell and ran as far away as he could from the Death Eaters.

"You idiot! You never yell 'got you' when you're trying to capture someone! And the Dark Lord said he wanted to kill the brat! Well why are you standing there? Go get him!" Harry heard one of them say. He turned a corner… where the hell was Hogshead?

"Stupefy!" one of them shot at him. Harry ducked down, dodging it and shot back "Ignis!" Harry coughed as he started smelling burning flesh he hated that smell.

He continued running away from them but he didn't exactly see where he was going. He felt someone tug on his shirt and haul him into a dark room. He pushed the figure back and held his wand to the figure's neck. "Who are you?" he commanded, making eye contact with what he thought was the figure's eyes. Curse the dark!

The figure moved his arm slowly and seemed to flick his wrist. The figure apparently had a wand on him and had cast Lumos. Harry looked at him carefully as he lifted the wand to his face. Harry's eyes widened and he stumbled back.

"No," he whispered, "No! You're dead!" what was wrong with him? Why did the dead keep coming back to life? He raised his wand and pointed it at him "I heard your bones being crushed! You're dead Dumbledore, dead."

Dumbledore shook his head "Harry, he did die, but I didn't."

"Well who are you then? Dumbledore's long lost good twin?" He asked sarcastically.

"That's pretty close but no, I'm Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus' younger brother." He told Harry.

Harry snorted "and I'm a blonde surfer".

"Well if that's what you want to be, but I know you believe me. Otherwise you would've attacked me and killed my by now." Aberforth told him. "And would you really kill the person who sent you and your friends that little packet would you? Ab, the first two letters of Aberforth"

"That was you?" he asked carefully, he could be lying for all he knew. Aberforth nodded and walked around.

"Harry, your friends were already here they passed through a secret passage that led them to Hogwarts. Do you want to go through it too?" They'd left to Hogwarts? They were supposed to wait for him! Could Harry trust anyone these days? Some friends they were, just blowing him off!

Harry shook his head, "If you don't mind I'd like to floo somewhere." Harry said carefully. Aberforth nodded and handed him some floo powder and showed him to the chimney. He nodded once more towards Harry and left the room. Harry stared at the floo powder… time to save his parents.

He said the location clearly and threw the powder down. He crouched down so when he landed he wouldn't land on his face but instead just sort of roll out.

Harry rolled out and stood up, brushing himself off. "Mum, I'm home" he called, brushing off the last of the soot.

"Welcome home… son." Harry looked up and saw Bellatrix pacing around a tied up and gagged Lily Potter.

"You bit*h" Harry scowled. "Let her go!" he drew his wand and pointed it at her.

"Now now Harry, you wouldn't want your dear mummy to die would you?" She said as she drew a dagger and trace a line on Lily's neck with it.

"How did you find this place?" Harry asked, seething.

"Oh you know… I have my sources"

"Let her go." Harry said simply, clutching his wand.

"Mmm… as great of an idea I think I'll pass."

Harry clenched his teeth and cast the first spell that came to mind, "Incisus!" he aimed at her legs, hoping to trip her or make her lose a leg.

She shrieked and clutched her leg, "You worthless boy, cruicio!"

Harry ducked down dodging the curse, "Sectumsempra!" Harry shot at her. She sidestepped it and sent more unforgivable curses at him.

"Expelliarmus!" Her wand zoomed toward him and he took it. "I've got your wand now Bellatrix, give it up" he seethed.

She backed up and took her dagger out once more and held it to Lily's throat, "I don't need magic to kill her, Potter. So why don't you hand over both wands and I might just spare the Mudblood's life." She threatened.

"My mother is not a Mudblood!" Harry said.

'Mum…'Harry thought, opening their mind chat.

'Harry, go, get out of here!'she thought back.

'What! I can't just leave you here with her! She'll kill you!' Harry thought. He was not going to leave her here alone with that mad woman.

'Don't worry about me! Your father will be here soon enough he went to the Burrow for some business. I didn't feel like going, but please Harry. Go!'she begged.

'Mum… I can't leave you here alone! She'll kill–'

"Harry just GO!" she yelled at him.

Bellatrix looked up at Harry expectantly. "Well 'Harry' what are you going to do? Are you going to run away like the coward you are? Or are you going to try to rescue you're mummy and watch her die? I personally like the latter the most" she said, cackling.

Harry clenched his jaw. "Neither. I'm going to make a trade."

This caused Bellatrix to cackle even more. "A trade you say? Exactly what do you have that I would want?" she asked.

Harry paused for a minute, looking at the state her mother was in. "Me." he muttered. "If you let her go you can have me. Isn't that what Voldemort wants–"

"Don't say the Dark Lord's name!"

Harry paid no mind to her comment. "Isn't that what he wants? He wants me. So let my mother go and Voldemort gets me and you get whatever glory he'll give you."

Bellatrix smirked, "Oh... You drive a hard bargain Potter. But you'll have to add a bit more…"

More? What more could this crazy woman want, Harry wondered. "What else?" he asked exasperated.

"I want to see you in pain." Before Harry could register what she said he felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked down to see her dagger deep in his stomach.

His vision became blurry and before he could even say a word he was out like a light.

Ha-ha. Yeah… not the best way to end a chapter but at least it's an update! I'm not exactly in the best mood today so sorry!

I'm a huge fan of Skillet now so I will be using their songs a LOT. My favorite song right now is "Say Goodbye", but "The Last Night" and "It's Not Me It's You" are in a close second.

Review please!
