Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beginning of the End
 
 
Again things that aren't mine with Have +pluses around them+ and sorry for the long update, college does take up a lot of my time. Again I don't own Harry Potter or anything that happened in the seventh book, I am just using some for my story that is all. Don't Sue Me!
 
 
Harry yawns as he looks up into the face of Severus, smiling as Severus leans down to place a soft kiss upon his lips. He moves some, as he tries to get Severus to deepen the kiss, knowing that today is the day that Voldemort plans on attacking Hogwarts.
 
 
Severus pulls back as he sits up in the bed, shifting he gets out of the bed and wonders over to the dresser desk. He walks back to the bed, giving some clothes he had pulled out to Harry, so Harry can get dressed as well.
 
 
Harry sighs as he gets up out of the bed, he wonders over to where Severus is standing, warping his arms around his waist. Harry doesn't want to leave the room, or go face the Dark Lord today but he knows he must.
 
 
“Love, it is almost time for me to leave, I must report to the Dark Lord” speaks Severus as he hugs Harry back.
 
 
“I know that, and I will be ready when the time comes” says Harry as softly as he could.
 
 
“Harry, you can't stop time, so you don't have to face him” states Severus as he maneuvers out of Harry's hug.
 
 
“I know but I can hope, can't I” whispers Harry as he moves into the living room.
 
 
Harry sits down on the couch, not wanting to eat anything at all, at least for the time being as he knows something bad is going to happen to him. He only looks up when Severus walks into the room, with his death eater robes in his hands.
 
 
“Do you have to leave?” asks Harry as he looks away from Severus.
 
 
“Yes, my lord I have to leave, so he does not suspect me as the spy” answers Severus as he leans down to kiss Harry one last time before he leaves.
 
 
“Come back safely, will you” speaks Harry softly as Severus stands back up.
 
 
“Come, eat and get moving you must wait until I call for you to come” speaks Severus as he sweeps out of the room.
 
 
Harry sits down while he waits for the signal, knowing it will not happen for a little while. He goes over what he needs to do inside his head, knowing that he has to die doesn't help him out that much.
 
 
When he dies, the soul inside his scar will die, but what if he comes back from death, and truly lives his life. Harry hopes that that is what is going to happen to him, when he lets the Dark Lord kill him, hopefully it kills the Dark Lord as well and keeps him dead.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
 
 
Harry stands up, sighing he heads out the doors to play his part in the war, he knows some of the Dark Lord's plans. As he moves about Black Rose, he can hear the fighting that is going on, and feel the magic in the air.
 
 
Such foul magic is in the air, which means that the Death Eaters are inside the castle. I must be careful, Black Rose, hide me from everyone until I am needed to appear. Please protect my Severus as well, I wish for him to stay alive, for a very long time.
 
 
Thank you Black Rose.
 
 
Harry watches from the shadows, as the war continues to rage on around him, he is waiting for the Dark Lord to call Harry Potter out. Even though his real name isn't Potter, he'll go when the Dark Lord calls, only to kill him when the time comes.

+“We have already placed protection around the castle,” Professor McGonagall [is] saying, “but it is unlikely to hold for very long unless we reinforce it. I must ask you, therefore, to move quickly and calmly, and do as your prefects ----”+
 
 
+But her final words [are] drowned [out] as a different voice echoed throughout the hall. It was high, cold, and clear: There [is] no telling from where it came; it [seems] to issue from the walls themselves. Like the monster it had once commanded, it might have lain dormant there for centuries. +
 
 
+“I know you are preparing to fight.” There [are] screams amongst the students, some of [who] clutches] each other, looking around in terror for the source of the sound. “Your efforts are futile. You cannot fight me. I do not want to kill you. I have great respect for the teachers of Hogwarts. I do not want to spill magical blood.”+
 
 
+ There [is] silence in the Hall now, the kind of silence that presses against the eardrums, that seems too huge to be contained by walls. +
 
 
+“Give me Harry Potter,” [speaks] Voldemort's voice, “and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded. +
 
 
+“You have until midnight.”+
 
 
It seems he has become inpatient to kill me, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. There is Severus, he must be looking for me, and Black Rose you can reveal me now.
 
 
“Severus, it is time for me to go. I must face him alone” speaks Harry as he walks out in front of him.
 
 
“I know, please be careful and come back to me please” whispers Severus into Harry's ear.
 
 
“I'll be back, be safe for me” smiles Harry as he walks away from Severus.

Harry walks slowly down the steps of Black Rose, knowing that the end of everything is coming. Soon the darkness shall be among them all, I wonder what is going to happen if he hits me with the killing curse.
 
 
I am an elf, and the killing curse doesn't kill elves, but it does kill humans, and the Dark Lord is a human after all. So maybe the killing curse will only kill the soul piece that is inside of me.
 
 
Harry sighs as he picks his way through the Forbidden Forest, to the spot where the Dark Lord is waiting for him with his death eaters. Harry knows that Severus will be safe in Hogwarts for now, as long as he doesn't go rushing into anything at all, Severus should be fine.
 
 
Two death eaters brush past him; he recognizes them as Dolohov, and Yaxley. He follows the two, letting the two lead him to where the Dark Lord is staying in the Forest. He smiles when the two go into a clearing, Harry holds back and sees the Dark Lord.
 
 
+Every eye [is] fixed upon Voldemort, who [stands] with his head bowed, and his white hands folded over the Elder Wand in front of him. He might have been praying, or else counting silently in his mind, and Harry, standing still on the edge of the scene, thought absurdly of a child counting in a game of hide-and-seek. +
 
 
+When Dolohov and Yaxley [rejoins] the circle, Voldemort [looks] up.
 
 
“No sign of him, my Lord,” [remarks] Dolohov. +
 
 
+“I thought he would come,” [says] Voldemort in his high, clear voice, his eyes on the leaping flames. “I expected him to come.”+
 
 
+Nobody [speaks]. They [seems] as scared as Harry, whose heart [is] now throwing itself against his ribs as though determined to escape the body he was about to cast aside. […] He [does] not want to be tempted to fight. +
 
 
+“I was, it seems … mistaken,” [sighs] Voldemort. +
 
 
+“You weren't.”+
 
 
+Harry [says] it as loudly as he could, with all the force he could muster. He did not want to sound afraid. […] at that moment he felt that nobody mattered but Voldemort. It was just the two of them. +
 
 
+The giants [roar] as the Death Eaters [rise] together, and there [are] many cries, gasps, even laughter. Voldemort [has] frozen where he [stands], but his red eyes [having] found Harry, and [stares] as Harry [moves] toward him, with nothing but the fire between him. +
 
 
+Harry [can] feel his wand against his chest, but he made no attempt to draw it. […] And still Voldemort and harry [look] at each other, and now Voldemort [tilts] his head a little to the side, considering the boy standing before him, and a singularly mirthless smile [curls] the lipless mouth. +
 
 
+“Harry Potter,” he [says] very softly. His voice might have been part of the spitting fire. “The Boy Who Lived.”+
 
 
+Voldemort [raises] his wand. His head [is] still tilted to one side, like a curious child, wondering what [will] happen if he proceeded. Harry [looks] back into the red eyes, and [wants] it to happen now, quickly, while he [can] still stand, before he lost control, before he betrayed fear -+
 
 
+He [sees] the mouth move and a flash of green light, and everything [is] gone. +

He is floating, or at least it feels like he is floating, but how can he be floating if he is dead.
 
 
You are not dead Harry Potter, or should I say Prince Kai who will soon be true King of the Elves.
 
 
Who are you?
 
 
I am Rose, the daughter of Salazar and Godric, my soul has stayed in Hogwarts because I wished to remain near my parent's life work.
 
 
I see, so I am not dead, that's good. It means the Dark Lord could never kill me in the first place. I was worried over nothing.
 
 
Hehe, you are right Kai. Now it is time to go back and kill the Dark Lord for good.
 
 
I thought he would be dead by now.
 
 
You may have destroyed his soul within your scar, but his soul in the body he is in now is still alive. This is the last time you have to go after him. Right now you are being carried to Hogwarts to be shown off as a dead so called hero. Go back and prove him wrong. Be safe Kai!

Harry breathes deeply, but doesn't open his eyes; it feels like he is on the ground. He just missed the speech and a few other things as well, but what he didn't miss is the war cries of thousands of people charging the grounds.
 
 
Harry stands up, when he gets the chance, Thank you Black Rose for making me invisible again. I must hunt down where Voldemort went. So we may face off one last time, and this time I will win!
 
 
Harry enters the Great Hall, maneuvering himself around; he got really close to Voldemort in time to watch the Dark Lord go into a fit of rage. He watches as +Molly's curse soared beneath Bellatrix's outstretched arm and hit her squarely in the chest, directly over her heart. +
 
 
+Bellatrix's gloating smile froze, her eyes [seem] to bulge: For the tiniest space of time she knew what had happened, and then she toppled, and the watching crowd [roars], and Voldemort [screams]. +
 
 
+Harry [feels] as though he [is turning] in slow motion; he [sees] McGonagall, Kingsley, and Slughorn blasted [backwards], failing and writhing through the air, as Voldemort's fury at the fall of his last, best lieutenant exploded with the force of a bomb. Voldemort [raises] his wand and [directs] it at Molly Weasley. +
 
 
+ “Protego!” [roars] Harry, and the Shield Charm expanded in the middle of the Hall, and Voldemort [stares] around for the source as + Black Rose takes off the invisibility over Harry.
 
 
+The yell of shock, the cheers, the screams on every side of “Harry!” “He's ALIVE!” [are] stifled at once. The crowd [is] afraid, and silence [falls] abruptly and completely as Voldemort and Harry [look] at each other, and began, at the same moment, to circle each other. +
 
 
+“I don't want anyone else to try to help,” Harry [says] loudly, and in the total silence his voice [is] carried like a trumpet call. “It's got to be like this. It's got to be me.”+
 
 
+Voldemort [hisses]. +
 
 
T.B.C. Thanks to Isis princess as my beta. Stuff in [this] means I have changed the words to fit what I need it to fit into my story. The Story is winding down; I can't tell how many more chapters there will be left. Enjoy!
