Chapter Thirty Five: Death Avenged: Part Three

Hermione drew her wand in haste then fired a spell at her opponent. She snarled in frustration as the older woman dodged the spell and fired a unforgivable curse back at her. The curse barely touched Hermione, but made her wither in pain for a few seconds. Bellatrix Lestrange let out a harsh laugh of triumph. In return Hermione sent a stunning spell which Bellatrix dodged again. Her brown eyes met the older woman's dark grey ones for a second then Hermione realized what was going to happen right before it did.

“ Avada Kedavra!” Bellatrix screamed her wand pointing at Hermione's chest, the young girl watched the green bolt of power head towards her then hit her, Harry and Ron turned to face the seventeen year old fall backwards and then hit the stone floor of Hogwarts with a hollow thud. They both turned to face the raving mad death eater. To defeat her, kill her. But someone beat them. Harry and Ron turned just in time to see two red stunning spells it Bellatrix in the back. Both of the teenager boys were incredibly to see who fired the spells. Draco ignored his aunt he had just stunned and headed straight towards Hermione's limp body. Narcissa continued to stare at her sister.

“ Hermione...” Ron ran to his friend.” Hermione.. No!” Tears started to run freely down his face. His shaky hands held one of her hands in his own.” Why? Why would anyone see you as a threat! Why would they kill you? You never killed anyone.” Ron's eyes seemed unfocused.

“ Bellatrix was a murderer, she wouldn't care what Hermione did or didn't do.. But, wait. Wasn't Hermione your horcrux?” Harry spoke up, there was a tiny tinge of hope in his voice.

“ WHAT!?” McGonagall, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Narcissa, Draco, Mr and Mrs Weasley echoed as one in complete shock.” Ron did what to Hermione?” They where all clearly very angry, and knew what horcruxes were.

“ It was a mistake, I didn't mean to, I didn't even know what I was doing!” Ron protested noticing how furious his family was at him and the others.” I killed a death eater at the Department of Mysteries last year and Hermione was with me. Harry and I figured it out well uh.. When I went to visit him, er.. When he was hunting down Voldemort's horcruxes.” Ron sighed.

“ Voldemort has multiple? Actually don't answer that, I wouldn't put it past him to do that.” Draco scoffed.” So... Your saying that it's possible that the horcrux part of Hermione died and she herself is still alive?” Draco certainly wanted that to be true by the sound of his voice.

“ Since when did a Malfoy care if a mudblood was dead or not? Since when did a Malfoy dishonor himself or herself by touching a mudblood?” Bellatrix had awakened and was clearly mad at Draco.” And since when was a pureblood attacked by her sister and nephew? Since when was a death eater betrayed by other death eaters? Do you not follow the Dark Lord anymore?” Bellatrix sounded beyond furious with them.

“ For your information, I'm a Black not a Malfoy, and this so called mudblood is far better at magic then you'll ever be, and she's my fiancee. And as far as I'm concerned I'm not related to you other then by blood. And I am not death eater, neither is my mother. We never will follow the Dark Lord.” Draco glared at the witch he had turned to face.” And I'll give you something you don't deserve. Avada Kedavra.” The killing curse hit Bellatrix's shocked face and she fell over spread eageled.

“ Well.. It looks like my death was avenged.” Hermione sat up with a confused look on face. She stared at Bellatrix's body with slight amusement.” I didn't think that she should have been killed for my sake.. But still. I guess there is some judgment in what you did Draco. And this is a death eater we are talking about, actually more like Voldemort's right hand. Or left.” Hermione laughed a little.

“ HERMIONE!” Harry, Ron, Ginny and Draco yelled out as one.” I was so scared that.. That.. That you wouldn't be alive.. Thank you big brother.” Ginny smiled at her brother over Hermione's shoulder.

“ Uh.. Sorry to break up this happy gathering, but um.. There are more then just my sister here attacking Hogwarts.” Narcissa looked a little wary as she watched them.” And Draco, you have a LOT to explain to me.” Draco laughed and helped Hermione up as they turned to defend Hogwarts against the real and true death eaters.

***Another part of the castle.

Nymphradora Lupin had her wand pointing at Voldemort who was clad in black robes, knowing that she'd only be killed, but she was ready to die for freedom, for hope, for her baby boy's future. Her brown eyes flitted away from Voldemort's red ones for a second so she could see the other fights around her, Bellatrix Lestrange had left some time ago following Hermione. She could feel a sudden urge, rage to find Bellatrix and kill her. Remus, her husband, was fighting Antonio Dolhov not far away. Her eyes flicked back to Voldemort just in time for her to duck the killing curse aimed at her chest. Breathing heavily she swore under her breath and fixed a spell in return at Voldemort's sneering face. I wonder if Lucius and Draco learned how to sneer from him, or if they taught him. Nymphradora thought. She laughed out loud and then decided to break the silence.

“ Mr Voldemort. Did Lucius and Draco teach you how to sneer, or did you teach them?” Nymphradora asked with more laughter, Voldemort looked furious and Remus bemused at why his wife suddenly started taunting the darkest wizard of all time.” You didn't know my cousin and his father were masters at sneering? That's to bad.” Irony filled her tone.” I thought they would think that it be a pleasure to teach his royal snakeness. But then again, the snake might bite them.” Luna, Neville and Dean were on the other side of the room fighting down grins and suppressing laughter.

“ Hey moldywart, you should take a bath.” Peeves had chosen at that very moment to dump a bucket of water on top of Voldemort's head. Laughter exploded through out the great hall. Voldemort with a unbelievable fury slashed his wand at Nymphradora, causing her to fall to the ground with great slashes appearing on her skin as she fell. Someone else sent a spell at Voldemort right at the same time as Remus, there spells collided in to Voldemort at exactly the same moment. Cuts just like Nymphradora's burst out on Voldemort at the same time as tentacles sprouted across his face.

“ Tenticallas, Remus really?” Severus Snape shook his head in amusement.” But I must admit it does make him look more like Salzar Slytherin.” Remus stared at Severus in amazement.” No.. Well yes.. I did kill Albus, but he made made me..” Before Remus could say anything a girl who looked like Severus entered the room, but she was younger. Quickly she darted over to Snape and hugged him.

“ Hey Sev. It was kinda weird... Er never mind.. But can you please explain to me what a horcrux is? And why everyone was freaked out that Hermione was Ron's.. I mean.. It's all really confusing!” The girl groaned in frustration then noticed Voldemort writhing on the ground in pain.” HIM! I HATE HIM!” She gasped and pulled out her wand keeping it trained on Voldemort as she approached him.” You made my life hell Voldemort.. And I wish there was something I could to make yours the same, because your scum. I just wish I could kill you.” The girl stomped on Voldemort's face and if he had a nose would have broken it.

“ Sc-Courtney! As satisfying as it seems do not. I repeat do NOT do that to Voldemort.” Severus snapped. Remus just eyed him for a moment then turned to his wife hoping she wasn't dead. If she was.. Remus was sure he would do exactly what the Courtney girl did. Even more...

“ But! Godfather! I don't care what he would do to me, he tore me away from my family then killed my next family. I want him dead, I want him to feel pain.” Courtney paused as Voldemort sneered, she paused just long enough to stomp on his face again.” I'm going to go find Draco and Ron.” Courtney flung her long greasy black hair out of her face.

“ What. The. Heck?” Was all Dean managed to say. Neville and Luna seemed to mirror his expression.

“ Scorpia Courtney Malfoy is my goddaughter.” Severus stated before following Courtney out of the room. Before anyone could register what happened Harry and co entered the room.

“ Voldemort.” He spat angrily.

“ Harry! Don't do anything rash, please.” Ginny tried to pull him away from Voldemort who was slowly rising reaching for his wand. No one seemed to be able to move to stop him.” H-HARRY!” Ginny managed to shriek as a green light hit him and knocked him to the ground.” HARRY NO!” Uncontrollable tears started tracing barely visible tracks down her cheeks. Silence reigned in the room for a short amount of time.

“ So... Your hero is dead, he has abandoned you.” Voldemort let out a harsh cackle.

“ Wait... No.. Wait.. Harry's not dead.” Draco spoke up. Everyone turned to face him.” He's not dead.”

“ How do you know?” Remus rounded on him.

“ I just know!” Draco snapped angrily.

“ Oh great now your turning in to a seer just like your sister.” Ron snorted.

“ WHAT?” Remus looked around wildly for some explanation, none came. Voldemort started to laugh.

“ You are all fools.. Potter is dead and there is nothing you can do to bring him back.” Voldemort's high cold tone made almost everyone in the room shiver in fear.” And I shall prove he is dead. Avada Kedavra!”

Chapter Thirty-Six: Joy Reclaimed: Part One:

“ Avada Kedavra!” Voldemort fired at Harry Potter for the third time in the younger mans life.

Without a second thought Ginny raised her wand hand to disarm Voldemort, even though it wouldn't do anything to stop the spell, but forgot that her hand was wrapped tightly around Harry's own wand hand and therefor dragged his hand up with her. But instead of everyone seeing them die together, or one person shouting the spell they heard two voice in unison shout it at once with the force of love and hope together it met Voldemort's spell which rebounded and hit it's master as the powerful disarming spell also hit him knocking him flying in to the wall, Voldemort landed on the ground with his arms and legs wide open. Dead. There were a few moments of silence as everyone began to realize what just happened.

“ HARRY!” Ginny shrieked and hugged him tightly.” I-I thought you were dead, how did you survive? I though Voldemort killed you.” She babbled on, crying as she hugged him. Ginny also voiced everyone's thoughts, for they just stood there looking bemused.” Voldemort! How did he die? What happened, Harry, oh Harry!” Harry waited for Ginny to stop before answering.

“ I thought I was dead also, but.. But I was the last horcrux.. So well yea.. I was a horcrux just like Hermione, so Voldemort killed the.. Never mind, you know how that works out. Voldemort died because.. Well. The power that Voldemort knows not.. Love, I fired that spell with all the love I could muster, and I have to say thank you. I wouldn't have been able to do have done that spell with out you, Ron, Hermione, everyone.. So it wasn't really me that killed Voldemort, it was love.” Harry smiled at Ginny and hugged her back.

“ Your just to modest.” Hermione grinned at him, though she was barely heard through all the yelling and screaming of joy and madness. The latter coming from the most faithful of the death eaters.” Draco, where's your father? I want to meet your parents properly.” She turned to face Draco, but saw the expression on his face at the mention of his father.” Er.. Mother, I would like to meet your mother then.” Quickly she changed hoping he wouldn't get mad or something.” Sorry about bringing him up.. I really shouldn't have.”

“ Don't apologize Hermione.. You didn't know what he was, what he did. My only regret is that my mother was able to kill him instead of me.” Draco whispered to her.” And you can come meet my mother, I'll have to disappoint you thought. You won't be Hermione Malfoy, it's Hermione Black. Though in my opinion it suits you better.” He smirked at her, but this wasn't his famous Malfoy smirk. This was a calmer, more friendly smirk. Hermione wiped it right off his face with a gentle kiss.

“ I love you Draco, and only you.. I love you more then anything, and I don't care what my surname will be as long as I'm married to you. And right now your making me think of several songs, this is such a memorable moment.” Hermione smiled up at him as the foreheads touched. He raised his eyebrows in question to what they were.” Forever and Always, Fearless, You Belong With Me, Love Story, I want you, Can't Stop Lovin' You.. The list goes on and on forever. As does my love for you.” Hermione kissed him again.

“ Wow.. Those sound like nice songs, well I've heard Can't Stop Lovin' You.. Van Halen is awesome.” Draco laughed, Hermione looked shocked that he had heard of the band.” Oh you didn't know? My dad approves it because most of the band members are wizards.” Hermione shook her head in amazement.” Come on.. Let's go find out who else survived..” He took her hand and let her out of the room. Everyone was starting to follow...

Pams pams pams

“ Lucius Malfoy is not your father Draco, I was pregnant with you before he.. Before we married.. It was as you could say a spring or summer fling. And when I realized that I was with child I hurried my arranged marriage with Lucius.” Narcissa paused slightly after she let out most of the terrible truth out, there was still.. There was still the worst.” Your real father never knew that well, that you where I mean are.. His child.”

Everyone was starting to follow..

***After the Great Battle

It had been five days since the great battle in which dark lord Voldemort was destroyed, joy had been reclaimed across the whole wizarding world. But not everything was simple, Narcissa Black had something she had kept a secret for eighteen years, a secret that had to be told to her only son. This was something she wish she had never had to tell someone, it was.. Cruel.

Soft footsteps padded there way down one of the almost deserted hallways of a castle, the woman owning the sounds took a sharp turn, her blonde hair taking a sudden wave with her body. She was wearing a long black robe trimmed with a shimmering silver, yet it was all plane and simple. The elegant lady stopped at a rough brown door and knocked her pale hand several times against the wooden complex. There where a few sounds in the room before a young girl of fifteen or sixteen entered, her shimmering red hair lay in curls around her head.

“ Courtney, may I speak to you and your brother? Privately please.” The blonde haired woman asked. Courtney watched her mother for a bit then nodded and beckoned her in, motioning for Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione to leave. The four of them stared at Narcissa Black in slight surprise and suspicious as they left. Draco remained seated on the couch waiting for his mother to talk.” Draco, Courtney, I don't really know how to put this..”

“ Then just say it, if you don't know how to put it then just say it in a way that would make sense to you, if it does make sense to you that is.” Courtney commented dryly taking the seat next to Draco and laying her head on his shoulder. Draco stayed quiet, this was not a way anyone talked to his mother. Not that he would attack them if they did, it was just to. Bland and improper.

“ Lucius Malfoy is not your father Draco, I was pregnant with you before he.. Before we married.. It was as you could say a spring or summer fling. And when I realized that I was with child I hurried my arranged marriage with Lucius.” Narcissa paused slightly after she let out most of the terrible truth out, there was still.. There was still the worst.” Your real father never knew that well, that you where I mean are.. His child.”

“ Mother quite stalling, who was my father?” Draco's steel grey eyes met his mothers own grey eyes. Courtney watched them slightly nervously, realizing that Draco was only her half brother. Narcissa looked near tears and was silent for a few moments, to the occupants of the room it was almost hours.” Mother.. Who was my father?” Draco repeated this time with less confidence with wanting to know the answer.

“ Your.. Remus Lupin. Really Draco believe me, I didn't intend for this to happen. Please don't blame me, I mean do blame! Gah.. This is confusing.” Narcissa sighed and placed her head in her hands. Courtney was holding in laughter, and the look on Draco's face was purely.. Priceless. Narcissa could hardly believe what she was telling Draco but knew she had to sooner or later and she chose sooner.

***A few hours later in the great hall

“ That. Is. Freaky.” Hermione finally sighed letting out what she was thinking as she faced Draco.

“ Your one to talk, this doesn't change anything right?” Draco asked slightly nervously.

“ Of course not! I'm not racist against werewolf's or anything, I mean seriously, why would I be?” Hermione smiled at Draco who sighed in relief.

“ Hermione, may ve talk alone please?” Viktor Krum surprised Hermione who glanced quickly at Draco then stood up and walked a few yards away from Draco with him.

“ Yes Viktor?”

“ Are you and.. Him together I take?”

“ Yes.” He obviously wasn't there for the announcement I take it. Hermione thought.

“ Ah, very vell.” And with that he leaned down and kissed Hermione who was taken by surprise.

“ Vi..” Hermione gasped as he walked away. Then she turned and was rather scared at the look on Draco's face.” Draco. I.”

“ I thought you said this didn't change anything. I guess I was wrong for believing you.” Draco glared at Hermione and stormed off. Amidst all this confusion no one noticed a little buzzing coming from a strange looking beetle on Draco's shoulder...

And sorry to all those Dramione lovers, I'm sad about just what happened.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
