Harry Potter and The Dark Lord Voldemort

[Mugglewizard]

Harry was roughly shaken awake. Ron’s whispered voice then filtered through his sleepy senses. “He’s here.” Harry opened his eyes and saw Ron’s outline in the dark. He shivered slightly as a cold burst of wind hit him. He raised his head from his arm and peered through the brush that was surrounding him and saw a huge blonde man walking away from them towards a house on the street they were in. He raised Ron’s hand and looked at his watch and saw it was two in the morning.
Anger welled up inside him. The last time he had seen the man was when Severus Snape had been telling him to leave Harry for Voldemort. Sleep immediately left him as adrenaline took over. He nodded to Ron and the two pressed themselves out of the bushes they had been hiding in. Hearing the rustle of leaves the blonde Death eater turned round his wand pointing at the source of the noise. Before he could utter a spell though both Harry and Ron had their wands on him and had yelled, “Stupefy.” After a brilliant flash of red the Death eater keeled over, a surprised look frozen on his face. Harry and Ron ran up to him and Harry waved his wand over him sending him to their newly established prison.
Harry yawned and looked at Ron’s watch again. They had been on the stakeout for most of the night waiting for the Death eater. Ever since the capture of the Lestranges three days ago several other Death eaters had been arrested. Bellatrix Lestrange had broken the day of her capture. The depression of killing her brother in law and watching her sister die had finally gotten to her. Coupled with the promise of her nephew’s safety she had revealed quite a lot about Death eaters and their locations.
“Let’s go back to Grimmauld place. I don’t think I can stay awake much longer.” Ron said and Harry nodded at once. Tucking their wands they dissaparated to outside 12th Grimmauld Place. As soon as the house appeared before them they yanked the door open and stepped in.
“Harry, Ron,” A voice boomed from the kitchen as they passed in front of it.
“Hagrid!” The two exclaimed and went into the kitchen. “Where have you been? You left without a word.” Harry added.
“Oh we have been away on some business,” Hagrid replied mysteriously, a grin on his face. “Oh O.K I’ll tell yer. Yeh were doing yer Newts didn’t think it would be wise ter tell yeh anything. Grawp told me that there was another giant settlement we din know about. So we went there. You know to look fer support. Carrying on with Dumbledore’s original plan. I couldn’t disturb you.” He added hastily seeing the looks of indignation on the two’s faces.
“And we found ‘em. Grawp could translate fer me and we gained their trust. They agreed to come over to our side.” Hagrid said triumphantly. “Then we got news of a giant attack on a nearby village and with the giants we beat ‘em. Grawp is with ‘em right now. I am going back today though. Just came to see how yer kipping.”
“We are fine Hagrid. But how about Hogwarts and your classes?” Harry asked.
“Don have any more students now, do I? As fer Hogwarts, I will go back after the war. Seeing how yeh are progressing here I know it won’t be long now. Yeh just need to get him. Just get him.” Hagrid replied.
Harry and Ron went to bed after some time. Hagrid’s words kept reeling in Harry’s head. They were winning the war according to Hagrid. It was just Voldemort he had to get. If only he could get the Horcruxes. He had the information if only he could figure out what it meant. Harry fell asleep and his usual dream took over. He saw the Horcruxes out of his reach, then the prophecy and finally the statement by Wormtail. He was awakened by a terrible shriek from downstairs. He opened his eyes and reached for his wand by his bedside. He saw Ron also reaching for his own wand.
“Hermione,” they both yelled at once and dashed out of the room.

They arrived at the landing where Mrs. Black was also screaming her head off. They saw Hermione holding a parchment at the foot of the stairs.
“The Newt results are here.” She whimpered.
“That was what you were screaming about,” Ron yelled above the din. He then turned to the portrait and yelled, “Silencio.”
A calm followed the spell and both Harry and Ron turned to look at Hermione.
“The results are with McGonagall. This is from her. She is expecting us today in the morning.” She said.
“But it’s Saturday,” Ron said.
“Does that matter. We had better go it is already ten.” Hermione replied.
“Where were you last night?” Harry asked.
“At the prison, I had guard duty. Which reminds me, I received your parcel and you will need to go and make a report on it.” Hermione said she glared at the two.
“Well have you met Hagrid yet, he was asking about you.” Harry said.
“Hagrid? He’s here? Where was he all this time?” It was Hermione’s turn to be surprised.
“He said he is going to Hogwarts. But he will be leaving again tonight.” Ron replied as he turned and began climbing the stairs.
“Leaving again, where, how?” Hermione began.
“Well we are getting late, aren’t we? We had better hurry up.” Harry said and laughing the two went back to their room leaving Hermione dumbfounded. The two came back soon to find Hermione impatiently tapping her foot.
“Well hurry up, I nearly left without you,” She said as they left the house and apparated to outside the Hogwarts gates. They found Filch there manning them. He let them in and they hurried up to the castle. Harry reached the castle doors first and bumped straight into Hagrid who was leaving the castle. “Hagrid!” Hermione exclaimed as Hagrid took her hand and began leading her away from the castle.
“Come on yeh lot. Lets have breakfast at my place.” Hagrid offered.
“But McGonagall, Newt result.” Hermione sputtered.
“She is not ready fer yeh yet.” Hagrid said as he dragged them off to his cabin. As soon as they entered Fang bounded up to Hagrid and began licking him. “Down fang, down yeh dozy dog. Poor guy had to leave with someone while I was gone,” he said as Fang went for Harry and began drooling all over him. Hagrid went to his stove to prepare the tea and the three sat down.
Hagrid soon had a plate of rock buns on the table and four steaming mugs of tea. Harry though asked him suspiciously, “When did you bake them Hagrid? You just came in last night.”
“Oh well. Er … Sorry. They must have gone bad.” He said and picking the plate he tossed all the buns out of the window. “Not to worry though, I told Dobby to bring us some cakes. Ah there he is.
Dobby came into the room and placed a tray full of cakes where the plate of buns had been. He then bowed low, one of his several woollen hats nearly falling off. “If you need anymore you just need to call Dobby and I will bring for you some more cakes.” He said.
“Thanks Dobby.” Both Harry and Hermione said at once.
Dobby bowed once more and then with a crack k he was gone. The four soon were nearly through with the tray of cakes. Hermione and Hagrid were busy discussing the new giant settlement.
Hermione suddenly stood up fast, the mug she was holding slipped and fell from her hand and landed on the floor with a crash. “The others are here.” She whispered.
“Reparo,” Ron said mending the mug in a trice and standing up to look at their former classmates.
“Thanks for the tea Hagrid. We should be going now.” Hermione said.
“Oh and stay in touch with what you are doing with the giants,” Harry said.
“Yeh too. Tell me all about your victories here.” Hagrid replied as they left his cabin and walked up towards the castle. Hermione rushed the other two into the castle. They brushed Ginny’s class leaving the castle.
“Well we are going for the apparition test. Good luck on your results.” She told the trio.
“You too. Good luck on the test. I am sure you will pass.” Harry smiled at her.
They reached the gargoyles outside McGonagall’s door and saw the people that managed to complete seven years of Hogwarts education. They all greeted each other enthusiastically and soon they were speculating each other’s results. The most anxious of the lot being Hermione and Ernie.
Suddenly the gargoyle moved out of the way and McGonagall stepped out in the corridor. “I am glad you could make it. This is not the usual way the results are handed out but these are unusual circumstances. I will be calling you one by one so that I can discuss with each one of you your career options. Lets do it alphabetically, shall we? Abbott Hannah if you will follow me.”

Here goes another post. Nothing major in it except... you'll have to read to find out

Hannah stayed up in McGonagall’s office for a while then the gargoyle called out, “Bones Susan.” As Susan stepped past the gargoyle Hannah came out, her faced flushed. Neville walked up to her and tilted his head in questioning manner.
“Well I passed four subjects. I haven’t decided my career yet. I can’t be a healer with this results.” She replied, her voice slightly broken.
She left and the process continued for some time. Soon it was Hermione’s turn to go up. She stayed in the office longer than any others had. When she finally did come down her face was a mass of confusion.
“What happened?” Harry asked her as Neville went up to get his results his face as anxious as Hermione’s had been when she had gone up.
“Well I got an Outstanding in all the subjects, except Defence against the Dark Arts. I got an E in that.” She replied.
“So what career are you going for?” Ron asked.
“I don’t know. I have so many options that I just can’t make a choice. McGonagall thinks I should join St Mungos and become a healer but I really wanted to take S.P.E.W. forward and set it up properly you know.” She replied anxiously.
“Potter, Harry.” The gargoyle said as he moved aside for Harry to go in. He passed by Ernie on the way and he looked very pleased with himself. Harry knocked on McGonagall’s office and once more he was told to enter. He stepped into the familiar office to see her smiling at him.
“I believe you wanted to be an auror.” She began.
“Yes, I did.” Harry replied.
“Well you have ‘E’s in all your subject except of course in Defence against the Dark Arts. You have an ‘O’ in that. You can now become one. You will need to write an official application to the Ministry of Magic, department of magical law enforcement for training to be an auror. Given your past experience and your results, they can’t deny you a chance.” She said as she handed him the parchment containing his grades.
“Thank you Professor,” Harry said taking the parchment and stepping outside the office. “Weasley Ronald,” He heard the gargoyle say as it stepped aside and Ron stepped into the staircase.
“Passed,” Harry told Ron as they passed each other on the stairs. Ron gulped hard and patted Harry on the shoulder. He took a deep breath and continued up to take his own result. Harry turned to look at him reach the door and grasp the griffon knocker. He turned around again and reached the gargoyle. Before he could push past it something clicked in his head. He whirled round and ran up the stairs. He reached the door and looked at it excitedly. He ran his fingers over the griffon knocker. Then he grasped it tightly and tried pulling it. It was firmly fixed and yielded nothing. He then stepped back and drew his wand.
“Specialis revelios.” He muttered. The spell hit the knocker, which glowed for some time then a jet of light cam from the knocker-heading straight for Harry. He ducked just in time and the light passed over him hitting the wall behind him. Harry turned to look at the wall and saw it slowly begin to crumble away. He shuddered slightly then smiled and ran down the stairs past the gargoyle and into Hermione.
“Where were you?” She said.
“Found it. The griffon knocker… Come with me.” And ignoring the others there he dragged her back to the staircase. He pushed the gargoyle slightly and it covered the entrance at once. “The griffon knocker is the horcrux. Don’t you get it, ‘in Dumbledore’s grasp’? I tried a spell on it and it is protected like the necklace is.” He explained. They reached the door and Hermione gasped as she looked at the wall that had crumbled away.
“Careful I think we should avoid touching the knocker, it will react like the ring did with Dumbledore’s hand. Now that the protection has been activated.” Hermione said glancing at the knocker.
Harry swung the door open and interrupted McGonagall who was telling Ron, “You have just made it… what is the matter with you?”
“Professor we need to borrow the griffon knocker outside,” Harry blurted out without a preamble.
“What are you talking about? Have you gone out of your mind.” McGonagall yelled out.
“No Minerva let them take it.” A voice from the side interrupted them. A voice extremely familiar to Harry, a voice Harry had come to associate with the office. But as Harry spun around he wondered how it was possible because that voice belonged to Albus Dumbledore.

Harry came to face Albus Dumbledore’s portrait. The Dumbledore in the portrait appeared to be lost in thought. It then stared at Harry then spoke again, “But how could he have done it? Ah of course, when he left that night. I thought he only cursed the Defence against the Dark Arts job. Hermione be very careful, it will be well protected.”
The three turned to the door and walked towards it. “Send the others away Minerva. Tell them to continue in the afternoon.” McGonagall breezed past them as they stood at the door staring at the knocker. She gasped, as she looked at the wall then continued moving down.
“So do we cut it out?” Ron asked.
“Of course not. This is a Hogwarts door, the door to the Head teacher’s office. It must have enchantments so that we can’t damage it in any way. Maybe they can…” Hermione suddenly broke off and went back into the office. Ron and Harry exchanged glances and nervously looked at the Griffon knocker. She came out in a short while looking extremely pleased with herself.
“I knew one of the former Head teachers should know something about this.” She told the other two who watched her wave her wand over the door, muttering something. The door began to glow until Hermione stopped and it reverted back to normal. She then carved out the knocker using her wand. Harry quickly conjured a bag and Hermione levitated the knocker into it.
McGonagall then came back and her eyes narrowed at the sight of the hole in the door. she waved her wand and a replica of the original knocker appeared, covering the hole. She then turned to the wall and pointed her wand at the base and uttered a spell and the wall began rebuilding itself. Hermione in the meantime re enchanted the door.
“I have told the others to come back in the afternoon. You three should also be seen leaving so that we don’t raise any more suspicions.” McGonagall said slightly curtly. “Oh and Mr. Weasley you will need to apply at the department of Magical Law Enforcement for your auror training. Mr. Potter will explain to you the salient details. And Miss. Granger I do hope you will decide what you want soon.” She added as she entered her office and shut the door behind her.
The trio exchanged confused glances then at once moved down the stairs. They walked to the Hogwarts gates in silence. Hermione opened the gate and they stepped out and disapparated to 12th Grimmauld place. Harry immediately led the way to the kitchen and to the space underneath the boiler where Kreacher used to stay. They had found the locket there and had voted to keep it hidden there. They added the Griffon knocker beside it and Hermione commented, “We really need to find a way to destroy them.”
“Well right now I need to sleep.” Ron said as he stretched and yawned. “The stakeout last night was pretty rough.” He moved towards the kitchen door and ran into Fred and George Weasley. They were carrying some black cloaks, which nearly fell to the floor as they collided.
“Shield cloaks. We are improving them so that the shield lasts longer.” Fred explained.
They left the twins laughing and began climbing the stairs to the room Harry shared with Ron.
“Hey Harry,” Draco Malfoy called out from behind them. He had been moved into the house soon after the arrest of Bellatrix Lestrange. “Moody told me to tell you to be careful. The Ministry is inquiring a lot about you and is watching you.”
“Thanks I will be.” Harry replied and gave a yawn. “I guess I am rally tired too,” He commented to Hermione as they entered the room.
“Well I am doing a little more research on the Horcruxes.” Hermione said as the two boys flopped into bed. Hermione went to a cupboard and extracted Dumbledore’s pensieve and began swirling the memories with her wand.
Harry fell asleep immediately. His recurring dream came to him almost immediately. Wormtail’s words pierced through blackness at first then suddenly Trelawney’s image took over and he heard the prophecy from her suddenly Voldemort’s laughter interrupted everything. Then a new voice came into the dream. One that Harry hadn’t heard for quite sometime. “Not Harry please…” Harry woke up and began shivering slightly. He stared ahead and began to make out external sounds.
Ron and Hermione were standing next to him looking worried. “What happened? Has someone been attacked? You screamed like anything.” Ron said.
“Everything is fine. Its just that I know where a Horcrux is hidden.” Harry announced. “At least I think I do. It can’t be anywhere else.”

I just read about the closing down of Flourish 3 days ago so I really tried to finish this fic up since I wanted it to be an expected ending and not an alternate one once the book is released. I do hope it is Ok and not to shabby. Feedback will be much appreciated
Enjoy your reading: This and The Deathly Hallows


“Where could it be?” Ron asked as they surveyed a damaged sitting room.
“What I can’t get is why I didn’t think of you as Voldemort’s death. This being where you were being protected would mean that this is where his death was protected.” Hermione said as they walked around the room. Harry had thought of his parents’ house as the only likely place Voldemort could have hidden a horcrux. Harry remained silent as he walked around the room. He silently touched the walls and thought of his parents in that house. How would they have lived now if they had been alive? What would have been the state of the house with them alive?
Harry suddenly saw a scrap of paper stuck between two pieces of furniture. He pulled it out and peered at it. He saw it was a torn piece of the Daily Prophet. “More muggle deaths read the headlines. He suddenly came back to his senses and turned to the others. “Let’s search for the horcrux. Ron and I will go upstairs. Hermione see what you can get here.”
He led Ron to the stairs. “I don’t think they will hold us.” Ron said as he drew his wand and pointed it to them. “Let’s fortify them a little.” The two of them pointed their wands at the stairs and muttered the same spell at the same time. The stairs glowed slightly then looked the same again. This time the two ran up the stairs though. They reached the top landing and were faced with two rooms. Ron automatically took the one directly across him. Harry turned to the one along the landing. Harry stepped over a door lying on the floor and entered the room. That had to be the room that had been damaged the most Harry thought as he looked around. Splintered pieces of wood and metal lay all around the room but in the midst of all that there was a baby cot totally undamaged and untouched.
“Hey you guys! You had better come up here and see this.” He yelled. Ron ran in from the room next door as Hermione apparated from downstairs both their wands drawn. “Look at the state of this room and look at that cot. It is totally untouched.” Harry said excitedly.
“What cot are you talking about? I don’t see any.” Ron said.
“I can’t see any either.” Hermione added.
“Its there I tell you. Of course the horcrux has to be there.” Harry said and he stepped up to the cot. He lifted the mattress from its position and saw a familiar looking cup underneath it. He had last seen it in a velvet cover in a pensieve: Helga Hufflepuf’s cup.
“Oh my!” Hermione exclaimed as the cup suddenly materialised in Harry’s hand. Hermione then looked around the room. “I think this is the room where Voldemort attacked you Harry. When the curse backfired it caused something like an explosion with your cot as the source that damaged not only this room but the whole house as well.”
Ron shuddered slightly then he turned to Harry. “You O.K mate,’ He said as he saw Harry had stopped moving and was standing silently.
“Yeah, let’s go.” He replied. They all went down the stairs and left the building to run straight into a group of wizards led by ‘Mad- Eye’ Moody.
“What are you doing here?” He growled at Harry.
“What… This is my house. What are you doing here?’ Harry shot back at him.
“I have had this house watched ever since Pettigrew died. I was hoping some Death Eaters may try to use it as a hideout. I was just told three people walked into the house. Anyway every body lets go.”
“Wait I need two of you to go watch Lupin. I am short of guards and I can’t leave him unguarded.”
“Ginny is supposed to come today.” Harry said simply.
“We’ll go.” Hermione and Ron volunteered in unison.
Harry apparated to 12th Grimmauld Place. He went to add the cup to the other horcruxes. He glanced at the shield cloaks the twins had left on the kitchen floor and he decided to wrap the horcruxes in them before putting them away. He then went up to his room and his eyes fell on the calendar. He realised with a start that it was 31st October. It was the anniversary of his parents’ death. Trying to take his mind of that realisation he took Dumbledore’s pensieve and began swirling the memories. He stopped as he saw a tall boy striding purposefully. He recognised the background at once as the hall outside the library in Hogwarts. It took him a while to realise that the boy walking into the library was Albus Dumbledore.
Curiosity finally got the better of him and he entered the memory. He turned to see Dumbledore enter the restricted section and he followed. Dumbledore stopped in front of a shelf and furtively looked around him before extracting a book and then took it to a table in the corner. Harry caught a quick glimpse of the title of the old book. “Advance Magic-The Soul and Conscience” Dumbledore opened it carefully and turned to a page he knew.
As Dumbledore sat down to read it Harry leaned over his shoulder. Harry managed to read it twice and managed to cram most of it before he felt someone shaking his shoulder. He turned round to see Ginny. The worried look on her face was enough to draw him away from the book and follow her out of the memory. As he looked at Dumbledore before leaving he saw him waving his wand over the book and it vanished.
”What happened?” He asked as soon his feet landed on solid ground. Then his voice became softer as he added, “I thought you wouldn’t come. The Halloween feast and all.”
“Harry its Voldemort. Moody just told me that he has been told He has just shown up at Godric Hollow. They have all gone and he told me...” Ginny burst out.
“Stay here I have to go.” Harry cut her off.
“I am going with you,” She said, her chin jutting out and a familiar stubborn look coming over her face. “I passed the apparition test and if you don’t take me, I will go there myself.”
“Fine I will guide you. But first let’s go down.” Harry said as he held out his hand for her. She took it and squeezed it gently as they ran down the stairs.
“You are more important to me than a Halloween feast.” She said smiling.
Harry picked the horcruxes and turned to Ginny, “I need to hide these first.”
“No problem.” She said as she crouched on the kitchen floor and drew a circle with her wand. “Drop the bag on the circle. It will go down at least two metres.” Harry followed her instructions without a word.
“Oh and by the way. Lupin woke up. Tonks is not taking any more chances and she has announced their wedding for next Saturday.” Ginny said her grin widening.
“What! That only leaves seven days.” Harry gasped.
“Right, which means you have to get Voldemort today so that we can prepare well for the wedding.
Harry grinned and the last thought in his head before they dissapparated was that life couldn’t have been more perfect. A promising career in front of him, his girlfriend found him important and his father’s close friend was getting married. Apart from the looming factor of Voldemort of course.
Harry and Ginny apparated in his old room. The room where he had just found the horcrux. Ginny tightened her grip on his hand as they heard shouts and crashes from below.
“Harry that cot, why is it the only undamaged thing in this room.” Ginny asked shocking Harry as he stared at the cot. A flash of light came from behind them and Ginny flew forward hitting the baby cot which splintered under her weight and collapsed with Ginny on top of it.
“Ginny!” Harry screamed as he ran forwards and slid on is knees and grabbed her by her shoulders. His wand fell down and rolled under her robes as he shook her vigorously.
“She’s alive yet.” A voice quite familiar to Harry came from behind him. Harry spun around to stare into the slit like eyes of Lord Voldemort. “This is the last time we meet Harry Potter. No one to protect you this time is there?”
A crack interrupted him and they both turned towards the window to see Draco Malfoy standing there, his wand drawn and a wild look plastered on his face. “You killed my mother you…” He shook as he shot a curse at Voldemort, who lazily deflected it.
“Foolish boy.” Voldemort said as started walking towards Malfoy deflecting his curses. “You can’t use the curses I taught you against me.” He whispered suddenly slashing his wand at Malfoy who flew back against the wall.
Harry began groping for his wand under Ginny’s robes. He grasped it and held it firmly, a plan forming in his mind as he saw the sun setting in the horizon. He had just remembered the first step in performing the spell he had just read in Dumbledore’s memory. “It can only be performed on a Hallows Eve as soon as the glow of the setting sun encompasses the land. The power of that glow shall only weaken souls that have been split and can instil the pain in between the splits.”
“Avada Kedavra.” Voldemort muttered and Malfoy’s lifeless body collapsed on the floor. “Your people are putting up a good fight but to no avail. I just want one thing from you and I will make sure you die a painless death.” He said as the shouts from below increased. “Where is my Horcrux? The one you took from there.” His long finger was pointing at the cot under Ginny.
“On it’s way to be destroyed.” Harry answered simply as he focused all his thoughts on his parents and any little memory of theirs he had. That had been the second step in casting the spell. “The thought of pain caused further strengthens the power of love infusing it with the power of the Hallows.”
Suddenly Harry’s scar burst into flames as Voldemort lowered the guard he had put since the night in the Ministry of Magic. All Voldemort saw though were the faces of James and Lily Potter. He burst out laughing then spoke up again, “I killed them in this very house you know. You must have wondered why I chose this date. It is because of Halloween. The one night every year when magic gets an extra special boost.”
“Not of all magic. Of some magic. The magic that stopped you seventeen years ago and will tonight.” Harry said, his voice filled with rage. He did the last step of the spell with his thoughts on Ginny and them. He drew out his wand out from under Ginny with speed he had not thought possible and yelled “Conciencia.”
Voldemort’s slit like eyes widened as a jet of green light left his wand already pointed at Harry. The Jet of golden light that left Harry’s wand passed below the spell cast by Voldemort and hit him in the chest. Silence reigned for some time. Then Voldemort screamed. He then screamed again. And again. He then clawed at his chest. “Stop it. Mercy! I didn’t mean to kill … Please Stop it! I am sorryyyy.”
A group of wizards burst in through the door at that moment. The death Eaters wearing their masks held their opponents by their wands in front of them.
“We wanted to kill them there and then but Snape wanted us to bring them up and…” Dolohov spoke up but froze as he saw Voldemort standing in the centre of the room looking at them strangely. Hermione and Ron stared at the room helplessly held by the spells of the Death Eaters.
Snape took in the room in one glance from Harry crumpled over Ginny to Voldemort’s look and the glow of the setting sun in the room. He had only heard about it a long time ago but he realised it had to be the ancient spell to create painful conscience. He moved just then waving his wand and sending the whole of the captured Order of the Phoenix to the ground. Voldemort slashed his wand too but it cut across his team of killers killing them in an instant.


My epilogue didn't sound too well so I haven't put it up yet. But I am still writing it out and will post it as soon as it seems right. I had already thought of the reference about Hallows before the title of the book was released but I have to admit that the title really made me emphasize it a lot in this post.

Well finally ...

Epilogue

Hermione dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief then turned to her left to see that Ginny was in the same position she had put her in for the past one hour. Sitting straight and staring ahead.
“She is in shock, Hermione.” Ron suddenly spoke from her right.
“I know that. The healer said that the potions he had given her would put her right in a week. It is now a week.” Hermione said slightly distraught.
Lupin and Tonks then left the front of the room they were all in and came to where Ron and Hermione were sitting. The bride and her groom on their wedding day. They both were smiling and looking very happy.
“Thanks you two. I really owe this day to you and Harry. I now realise that Harry would have wanted us to go on with our wedding no matter what happened.” Lupin said.
“Will she be O.K?” Tonks asked as she leaned forward and hugged Ginny then turning to Hermione.
“Yes, but she may have a short term memory loss,” Hermione replied
Lupin and Tonks nodded and turned to leave. There was a general clamour as the few guests at the wedding also rose to see the two off. Ron and Hermione helped Ginny up and began to lead her out.
“Do you have a clue where Harry hid the horcruxes?” Ron asked. A question he had wanted to ask since they had come to Grimmauld place to find the Horcruxes missing. They had not talked about that night since then but Lupin and Tonks wedding seemed to have lifted the heavy burden that had been in their hearts for so long.
“No Ron, I believe he and Malfoy were alone in the house when hi hid them. Maybe Ginny was there but like I told Tonks the potions she is taking may give her a short term memory loss so even if she knew where he hid them she may not remember.” Hermione replied.
“Voldemort’s own body becomes his prison. He really looks like he is suffering. He seems to be sorry now for committing all those crimes. But the torture is there. I don’t even know why they have bothered keeping him in Azkaban.” Ron said.
“Well you saw what he did to his death eaters. He killed them all with a single curse. Tortured or not he is still a dangerous person. And as we can’t seem to find his horcruxes and destroy them, he is immortal. Even if he tries to kill himself and is ripped from his body, it’s his soul that is suffering so he will too.” Hermione replied.
“Snape! Where does he come in. I mean he did save us. If he hadn’t pushed us down we would surely be dead.” Ron asked.
“I don’t know Ron. I simply don’t know. He died with that answer. I guess we will never know on whose side he really was on.” Hermione answered.
“I guess the prophecy was fulfilled though. Harry had the power that not only the Dark Lord didn’t know about, but us too.” Ron said.
Hermione sighed then added, “Yes and in the end only one of them did survive. But he is in a state even worse than dead.”
