Chapter 34

The Final Confrontation

"HARRY POTTER IS DEAD!"

Ivy was at my side in an instant, grabbing me to keep me from collapsing in shock and disbelief.

"He was killed trying to escape through the Forbidden Forest. The battle is over. Come and see what befell your precious hero."

At this, all the survivors of the battle, Hogwarts and Death Eaters alike, got up and ran out into the courtyard.

I was fast. Hidden behind a few Hogwarts fighters, I saw the Death Eaters, lead by Voldemort coming out of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was after Voldemort, holding a limp, lifeless Harry in his arms.

"NO!" I screamed. "NO! HARRY!" I sobbed as Ivy grabbed me to keep me from collapsing.

It was official. I was the only member of my family left. I was the only one. I was alone.

I turned into Ivy, starting to cry completely as Voldemort spoke.

"The Potter twins are dead!" Voldemort shouted when everyone assembled, bawling quietly from the fate of my brother. "Hannah Potter was killed by one of my Death Eaters. I hate to say that Death Eater died after delivering the fatal blow.

Now, come forward. The battle is won. We have no need to battle any longer. Come forward and receive amnesty for your rebellion!"

There was silence until I heard Lucius Malfoy hiss and gesture to the Death Eaters side, Mel in Narcissa's arms, shaking with fear.

"Draco! Draco!" Malfoy growled.

I stretched up hopefully. He was alive!

Draco looked down ashamed before he took a step forward, heading towards the Dark Side.

"No…" I said, Ivy supporting me with an angered look on her face as I started to cry. Now I truly was alone.

At least…that's what I had thought. Draco stopped halfway to glare at Voldemort. "No!" he said. His voice echoed in the stunned silence. "I'll never join you again! Not after what you've done to me!"

Voldemort glared with a sneer. "Draco Malfoy…the Lover Boy. Still resistant even when his love is dead, I see. Let this be an example to those who decide to continue to resist me!" Voldemort drew his wand, pointing it at Draco. "Crucio!"

Draco was knocked to his knees, screaming.

"No…" I whispered, eyes welled with tears as Draco was tortured.

Voldemort lifted the curse and Draco panted, obviously fighting not to collapse as he glared defiantly up at Voldemort.

"Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy," Voldemort scolded, shaking his head. "you keep defying me, you will wind up dead."

"K-Kill me, then!" Draco shouted. "Kill me like you killed her, you cowardly bastard!"

Voldemort smirked, cursing Draco again. "Don't call me coward, Malfoy." he laughed evilly. "Maybe I should just let you live. Beg, and I will gladly kill you."

"Kill me." Draco said, tears in his eyes. "Please kill me like you killed Hannah."

Voldemort smirked, pointing his wand at Draco. "So I've broken Draco Malfoy."

"Kill me!" Draco pleaded. "Just end it! My only wish is that I'm buried with Hannah."

Voldemort laughed, the curse on his mind. Just as he opened his mouth to say the curse, I finally spoke as I tied my Harley Quinn mask on.

"NO, DRACO!" I screamed.

Voldemort stopped. "Who dares to speak?" he asked.

Everyone stepped aside to show me. "I dare!" I said.

Voldemort grinned evilly. "Ah, we finally meet face to face."

"Actually, Tommie, we've met before." I sneered.

"Oh, really?" Voldemort asked. "Who might you be, then? What's behind the coward's mask?"

I smirked, reaching behind me to untie the mask, ripping it off and throwing it aside. "Hannah Lillian Isabella Marie Potter!"

Everyone gasped and Draco whipped around to look at me.

All the Death Eaters were frozen in shock, hell, Voldemort was in shock. Nobody but Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix and the coven knew I was Harley Quinn. Nobody moved for a moment, no one said a thing.

Draco got up slowly, as if in a dream, not taking his eyes off me. "You're alive." he mouthed.

"Draco!" Lucius shouted as my eyes filled with tears. "Come here, now!"

Draco turned around. "No!" he said again. "There's nothing there I have to fight for! Here, I have someone to protect." he said, turning back to me. "Someone I love more than anyone the Dark Side can give me."

My eyes welled with tears again and I ran into his arms before starting to cry. "Don't kill yourself." I sobbed.

"I won't, I won't, shh." Draco whispered, tightening his grip around me.

"You're all I have now." I whispered.

"You're all I want." Draco whispered, wiping my tears and looking down at me, cupping my cheek in his hand as he leaned down close enough that I could share his breath.

"Don't let me go." I mouthed.

"Never." Draco whispered, pressing his lips to mine tenderly.

I threw my arms around his neck with a sigh, tears falling down my cheeks. Draco really was all I had left now that Harry was dead.

The reaction was mixed. The Hogwarts side was feeling sentimental, letting out a collective "Aw!"

The Death Eaters were disgusted, and Malfoy and Voldemort were obviously repulsed at this supposed atrocity.

I broke the kiss, only to have Draco kiss me again, holding me tighter to keep me close to him.

"I love you." I whispered against his lips.

"I love you more." Draco said, stealing my lips again as I heard a slow round of applause.

"Well, well, well." Voldemort said, making us shoot apart. "I had always assumed that you two were remarkably close lovers…but I never imagined you would be as desperate to be with her as to kill yourself, Malfoy." Voldemort smirked. "I guess you both will get what you want. AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"NO!" Draco had screamed, holding me tightly as a huge rock wall shot up, taking the curse and blowing a chunk off the wall.

"W-Was that you?" Draco asked.

I shook my head. "I didn't know what he was going to do. I was focused on you."

"I was…oh, shit." Draco said.

"What?" I asked.

"I was focused on shielding you from the curse. You don't think?"

"A Malfoy…with an Earth affinity!" Voldemort said.

Draco and I smirked as Voldemort pointed his wand at me. "Time to clear the world of the Potters once and for all!"

"WAIT!" Hagrid screamed. "HARRY! WHERE'S HARRY!?"

We all looked around and found that Harry's body was gone!

Draco grabbed me as chaos took control, centaurs and giants running amuck as the war raged on once more.

Bellatrix went on a killing spree with her husband, killing Order Members left right and center. Violet Ewy was the first to go down, followed by Ekaterina's brother, Michael.

"We have to get you out of here!" Draco said as he saw Voldemort charging into the battle.

"No!" I said. "Not until this is finished! This is my job now!" I told him, drawing my wand as someone grabbed me.

"Get back, Avery!" Lucius Malfoy said. "This one's mine."

I tossed my wand to Draco and kicked his father, knocking his wand out of his hand.

Malfoy smirked at me. "Oh, you're going to fight?"

"Damn straight." I said with a smirk.

"Then flatten your chest because I can't hit a woman." Lucius snarled, grabbing my arm before his eyes widened, collapsing to the ground to find Narcissa Malfoy holding her wand, Mel standing next to her.

"He really must learn that lying is far from the Malfoy way." Narcissa said.

"Narcissa!" I said.

"Mother!" Draco said.

"Draco! Hannah!" Narcissa said, wrapping us in a group hug.

"Where did you go?" I asked.

Narcissa shrugged. "On the run. After you broke me out of the Manor, I went off to Paris."

"Aw!" I said sadly. "Why didn't you take me with?"

"Because I remember what my son says. He wants to be the first to take you out of the country." Narcissa laughed, clapping my shoulder lightly.

"All right." I said. "Now can we go kick ass now?" I asked.

Everyone laughed as Narcissa lifted Mel up. "Absolutely." she said.

"Wait a minute." I said, looking to Lucius Malfoy's unconscious body. "There's one thing I want to do."

I smirked and raised my foot, stomping on his nuts…HARD!

Lucius came around with a scream, clutching his groin.

"And THAT'S for raping Mel!" I said.

Mel clapped happily as we went into the Great Hall.

As quickly as the Malfoys and I started for the Great Hall, we heard the door to the kitchens burst off its hinges as the centaurs barged in through the Entrance Hall.

Draco and I whipped around, finding swarms of house-elves pouring from the hole from the kitchens, lead by my elf, Kreacher. The fake locket bouncing off his chest as he held a cleaver in hand. "FIGHT! FIGHT! Fight for my master and mistress, defenders of house-elves! Fight the Dark Lord in the name of brave Regulus! FIGHT!"

They were hacking and stabbing the shins and ankles of the Death Eaters, their tiny faces alight with malice, and Death Eaters were folding under the force of the numbers, overcome by spells, dragging arrows from wounds, stabbed in the leg by elves or simply attempting to escape, but swallowed by the horde.

We sped into the Great Hall, past duellers and struggling prisoners. "It's not over yet!" I said, gasping.

Voldemort was smiting and striking anyone in reach as Bellatrix and her husband slaughtered Order members.

"I'm going in!" I told Draco.

"We have your back." Narcissa said, drawing her wand.

I nodded, starting to fight my way into the middle of the Hall, looking around at the fighters.

I saw Yaxley brought down by Fred and George Weasley and Lee Jordan, Dolohov fell with a scream at Flitwick's hands, Walden Macnair was thrown across the room by Hagrid, hitting the wall opposite and passing out. Ron and Neville worked together to bring down Fenrir Greyback, Aberforth Stunning Rookwood and Mr. Weasley and Percy flooring Thicknesse.

Voldemort was now taking on McGonagall, Slughorn and Kingsley all at once, his face contorted with fury as they fought to defeat him.

Bellatrix was also fighting, my mind averted as she fought Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Ivy and Sheila all at once!

They were all battling their hardest, but Bellatrix was equal to all of them. My attention diverted as the Killing Curse shot so close to Ivy, Sheila and Ginny that they all missed death by an inch.

I snarled as Blaise shot up from next to me, having seen everything. Before Draco, Narcissa or anyone could do anything, Blaise, Mrs Weasley and I were running towards Bellatrix.

"NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Blaise shouted.

"NOT MY BEST MATES!" I screamed. "NOT MY DAUGHTER!" Molly shouted.

"YOU BITCH!" we finished at the same time, ripping our cloaks off as Bellatrix whipped around, laughing at the three of us.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Blaise shouted as I shoved my friends away as Molly swiped her wand, sparking our duel.

"BLAISE, SEE TO IVY!" I shouted as I helped Molly duel Bellatrix.

Together, mine and Mrs Weasley's wands twirled and slashed, Bellatrix's smile became a snarl. Jets of light flew from all our wands as I lost control of my element powers, the floor becoming hot and cracked at our feet. We were all fighting to kill.

"No, Draco!" Mrs Weasley shouted to him as he tried to climb up, helping me out. "Get back! Get back! She's ours!"

Hundreds of people were lining the walls now, watching the duels, Voldemort with his fighters and Bellatrix, Mrs Weasley and I.

"What will happen to your children when I've killed you?" Bellatrix asked Molly before turning to me. "And what will happen to your dear Draco when you're dead, Harley Quinn?"

"You - will - never - touch - our - children - again!" Mrs Weasley growled, nodding to me.

"And - you - will - never - touch - my - boyfriend - again!" I grunted.

Bellatrix gave the same exhilarated laugh that she had done when she had killed my godfather, Sirius Black and Molly and I nodded.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Molly and I screamed together.

Our curses merged together and went past Bellatrix's arm, directly over her heart.

Bellatrix's gloating smile froze, eyes bulging. For the smallest amount of time she knew what had happened…and she had managed to say one more thing before she collapsed dead on the floor.

"You little brat." she told me before she collapsed, Voldemort screaming.

I whipped around, as if in slow motion. McGonagall, Kingsley and Slughorn were blasted back, writhing and shouting in pain as Voldemort's fury of the fall of his right hand psychopath exploded like a bomb, wand pointed at Molly Weasley.

"NO!" I screamed, running off to the center of the Hall. "PROTEGO!"

A Shielding Charm cut through the middle of the Hall, protecting everyone as I charged to the edge of the clearing of people.

I grabbed my wand but stopped. I couldn't take on Voldemort! I wasn't the Chosen One!

"Do it." Draco said, finally finding me.

"I can't! I'm not the Chosen One!" I said, tears in my eyes.

"Hannah, they may not think you're the Chosen One." Draco whispered, looking to the Hogwarts fighters. "But they don't know that you're the Necromancer. So go out there and kick some ass."

I smiled and Draco kissed me again, smirking down at me. "Here's looking at you, kid." he whispered. "Now go save the wizard world and reveal some truths. Knowing you, you know plenty."

I laughed, noting the Casa Blanca reference and the obvious truth before grabbing my wand. "ALRIGHT, RIDDLE, IT'S ON!" I shouted as Draco stepped back.

"Oh, look, the Potter's out to play." Voldemort said as I drew it.

Voldemort didn't attack, he just walked in a circle around me, like a predator stalking their prey.

I wasn't going to let myself become scared, so I walked with him.

"I don't want anyone trying to help!" I called out. "This has to be me!"

"Potterella doesn't mean that!" Voldemort said. "She wants someone to shield her from me again. Who are you going to use this time, Potterella?"

"No one!" I shouted. "All the Horcruxes are destroyed, it's mortal to mortal. And one of us is about to leave for good." I said.

Voldemort laughed, continuing our circle. "You believe that it will be you to come out on top, Potter?" Voldemort asked with a cynical laugh. "You believe in that romantic little head of yours that you could possibly destroy the Darkest wizard in history? The greatest wizard the world has ever known?"

"You're full of yourself, aren't you?" I asked, smirking. "Especially when you're wrong. You are far from the greatest wizard the world's ever known!"

"You dare-!" Voldemort started.

"Skinner yes, I dare." I said. "Albus Dumbledore was twice the wizard you were!"

"Albus Dumbledore is dead!" Voldemort shouted. "Killed by someone he thought his man!"

"Severus Snape was Dumbledore's man through and through, he made believe that he was still your stooge, like your pathetic men here tonight." I said.

Voldemort twirled the Elder Wand in his hand as I continued. "And besides, you couldn't kill me with that wand, even if you wanted to. It isn't powerful enough and you don't truly possess it!"

"You stupid, stupid little girl!" Voldemort laughed. "The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand in history. And I do possess it. I killed its previous master two hours ago! Severus Snape is dead and the Elder Wand is mine!"

"Snape wasn't the master of the Elder Wand!" I said.

"Of course he was!" Voldemort said. "He killed Albus Dumbledore that night instead of your pathetic boyfriend!"

I let a snarl burst through my lips. "You're wrong! The death of the previous master is not the only way the wand can be passed down!" I said. "The true possessor of the Elder Wand was with Dumbledore long before Snape even arrived, he was the one who Disarmed him."

There was silence as Voldemort took in the information.

"The true possessor of the Elder Wand is Draco Lucius Malfoy!" I said.

Voldemort's eyes turned an even brighter red. "Than I shall deal with him right now before dealing with you!" Voldemort said, pointing the wand at Draco.

"NO YOU DON'T!" Mel screamed, running into Draco's arms and putting a force field up around Hogwarts fighters.

I smiled at Mel and turned back to Voldemort. "You aren't going to harm anyone else, Tom Riddle. I'll make sure of that tonight."

"You dare-!" Voldemort said again.

"Skinner, yes, I dare." I said again. "I know a lot of things about you that no one else knows, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Shall you hear them, before you make another mistake?"

Voldemort just glared at me. "I know that you were raised in an orphanage, you're Slytherin's heir and YOU were the one that opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago and you blamed Rubeus Hagrid for the murder of Moaning Myrtle and got him expelled! You got that Award for Special Services to the School under false assumptions!"

Voldemort cackled. "A clever young lady that did her groundwork, I'll give you that, Potter."

"I also know that you killed your own maternal grandfather to make a Horcrux out of the ring that injured Dumbledore!" I said. "Did you also know that that ring was a Deathly Hallow?" I asked.

"Absolutely. A Hallow with my soul in it would make the Resurrection Stone truly mine!" Voldemort said.

"You were wrong! Dumbledore broke it, and who knows where it is now!"

"You didn't know what was in that Snitch that Dumbledore left for your dear dead brother?" Voldemort sneered.

I looked up. I hadn't known about Harry's inheritance. I was too focused on saving the world.

"The Resurrection Stone was IN the Snitch, Hannah." Voldemort said. "Only he knew if it still worked or not, and sadly, he'll never be able to tell us."

"And you also framed your uncle for your grandfather's murder." I said. "And a poor house elf for the murder of Hepzibah Smith! You killed Hepzibah Smith to make a Horcrux from the cup of Helga Hufflepuff, which is also destroyed."

Riddle seemed to pale. "How did you know that!?"

"Like you said before, Riddle, I do my homework." I smirked. "Yet, there is only one thing you didn't know. Severus Snape was never your man after your destruction by me and my brother sixteen years ago."

"Lies." Riddle said. "He was always my man."

"Wrong!" I said. "He never turned back to you after you murdered my mother."

"How would you know!?"

"Because Severus Snape loved my mother. He loved her since they were children. I didn't need to see his memories to know that." I said. "Have you ever wondered why he tried to protect me so much, how he tried to keep you from killing me?"

"You wouldn't know-" Riddle started.

"It was because I look a hell of a lot like my mother. Right down to the personality I am my mother's daughter. Well, I will admit I don't have her hair or eyes, right?" I asked the Hogwarts students, who all nodded. "But anyone here who knew Lily Evans would agree that I am her equal. Am I right?" I asked the professors. They all nodded. "And now here we are. Sixteen years after Lily Evans and James Potter died, and their only daughter is confronting you, their murderer. This is it, Tom. Two of us go in, but only one of us is coming out of this circle alive."

"You're not going to last a minute in this duel, Miss Potter." Riddle hissed. "I am a powerful wizard and you're just some scrawny little girl! You couldn't make a difference if you tried! You don't have an ounce of fight in you!"

I smirked. "Oh, yeah? You wanna bet?" I asked.

Riddle glared at me before smirking. "I know I'm right, Baby Girl."

I glared, but kept my wand at my side. "Little do you know that when I was growing up with the Muggles, I was beaten on a daily basis, bullied constantly. I had no friends. No family except my brother. I was a loner when I wasn't in music or school activities.

I went in for surgery once, that's how I got this scar." I said, holding up my shirt a bit. "They said I wouldn't live to tell the tale. And just like when you killed my family, I came out alive and better than ever.

I helped get my brother to the Philosopher's Stone when we were in first year, when you possessed Quirell, and then I went back and won the Quidditch Cup for Slytherin." the Slytherins cheered with that. "Second year I went into the Chamber of Secrets and destroyed your monster. I destroyed the Basilisk and your diary. I guess the only Malfoy in your ranks really fucked up when he put that diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron." I smirked at Lucius Malfoy and continued. "I fought a rouge werewolf and helped my godfather escape Dementors! I was the underdog in the Triwizard Tournament and I still won after fighting an Antipodean Opaleye, mermaids, Grindylows, a sphinx, Boggarts, a giant spider and your men Avery, Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, Macnair and Malfoy and kicked their asses. I fought your now dead best lieutenant and even more of your Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, I survived a hut fire, and I've survived being tortured, starved, lashed, malnourished, exhaustion during my time on the run as Harley Quinn. On top of it all, I died twice tonight and here I stand. So don't fucking talk to me about not having an ounce of fight in me, because I'm ninety pounds of fight. And you know what, Tom Riddle? I have you to thank. Because you know what? After all you put me through, you made me that much stronger."

Voldemort just gaped at me, drawing his wand.

"And now, tonight it all ends." I said, drawing my wand as well. "Avada Kedavra!" I shouted.

Voldemort dodged, sending the Cruciatus Curse towards me.

I dodged, Mel's force field protecting the Hogwarts fighters. "Expelliarmous!" I shouted.

The Elder Wand went flying out of Riddle's hand. "ACCIO ELDER WAND!" I screamed.

The Elder Wand zoomed into my hand and I tossed it to Draco as I cast the final spell. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

There was an overwhelming burst of green light, one so powerful it knocked me off my feet and caused an explosion when it hit the wall, sending smoke everywhere.

I hit my back on a wall and slid to my backside, struggling to my feet.

There was silence for the longest time until Draco broke it. "HANNAH! Where's Hannah!"

At this, I coughed, limping out from the smoke enough to look down at the clearing between the Hogwarts fighters and the Death Eaters.

There laid Tom Marvolo Riddle, a look of surprise engraved forever on his face.

I limped the rest of the way out of the smoke, wiping my forehead with a grin on my face.

"Skinner Fanelli and Faksa, Voldemort got his ass handed to him…by a girl!" I said.

There was more silence as I took a deep breath. I had killed Voldemort…but I still felt like I had lost. I lost my brother.

Or had I?

I got my answer instantly when someone wrapped their arms around me from behind. I turned around and saw messy black hair, emerald green eyes and round spectacles.

"I knew you had it in you, Mei-Mei." Harry whispered.

I turned around and burst into tears, throwing my arms around Harry's neck. I couldn't believe that he was alive.

When I finally wiped my tears and come to terms with the fact Harry was alive. Harry and I grinned at each other.

Harry grabbed my wrist. "I'm not your hero." Harry said. "She is." Harry said, holding my arm up in the air. "Hannah Potter!"

Everyone stared at me, then at Voldemort's body, still in silence. Suddenly, there was a loud scream and I was knocked onto my back by my dorm mates.

"Why is it that I'm always dog piled when I do something!?" I asked them. "GET THE SKINNER OFF ME!"

Millicent got off me and yanked my dorm mates off me one by one before lifting me up as everyone else let out a loud cheer, everyone crowding me. They wanted a piece of the Girl Who Lived…the reason why the torture was over at last.

Crowded…finally, I was getting the recognition I wanted! It felt good.

I looked up and around as the crowd let me breath and found Draco with his back away from me.

We shared a smirk and I ran to him, jumping onto his back.

Everyone was whooping happily as I put my hands on Draco's shoulders and wrapping my legs around his waist.

"We did it!" I shouted, roaring with everyone.

"What the fuck are you on, Oreo?" Draco asked, spinning me around. "YOU did it!"

"This is definitely Harley Quinn's finest hour!" I squealed happily.

"My girlfriend, the heroine to the wizard world!" Draco said excitedly as I jumped down, letting Draco lift me up and spin me around, kissing my forehead.

"Draco!" Narcissa's voice said.

"Mother!" Draco said, lifting her up.

I laughed excitedly as Draco set her down, hugging her.

"My son, the master of the Elder Wand!" Narcissa said, smiling as Draco lifted Mel up. "And my goddaughter, the Saviour of the Wizard World!" she said, pinching my cheek.

"GODMOTHER!?" I squealed happily.

"Did I forget to mention that?" Narcissa asked. "Your mother decided I'd do perfectly. Seeing as you were the daughter I thought I'd never have."

Mel whimpered, reaching for Narcissa.

"At least until Melody came along." Narcissa said, picking Mel up.

Mel smiled as Draco wrapped an arm around me, the surviving Aurors of the battle rounding up the Death Eaters and arresting them, taking them away, including Lucius Malfoy.

"I'll get you, Harley Quinn!" Lucius Malfoy said as Felix Lerwick dragged him away. "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see if you can when and if you get out of Azkaban!" I said, earning laughs from the other Malfoys.

"Come on, Han!" Blaise said. "We're going to celebrate!"

"Yeah!" Ivy said under Blaise's arm. "We can't party without the girl of the hour!"

The coven (bar Alvaro) waited as Draco, Mel, Narcissa and I started after them, going into the Great Hall.

Inside the Hall, the house tables were redundant. Everyone was sitting together. Slytherins with other houses, ghosts with parents, teachers with pupils, Hagrid's half brother was kneeling by a hole in the wall while everyone threw food into his laughing mouth.

Everyone stopped when the coven, Narcissa and I entered. All eyes went to me and everyone was cheering again.

"Hannah, Hannah!" someone from the Daily Prophet shouted, running over to me. "What's running through your head now that you've killed He Who Must Not Be Named?"

I sighed. "You can quote this exactly." Draco said. "Now life can go back to normal."

I laughed. "Draco, your life will never be normal again." I said.

"It stopped being normal the moment I met you at Madam Malkin's." Draco said, kissing my temple.

"What's your next move?" the reporter asked.

I smiled. "I'm going to redo my final year at Hogwarts." I said. "That is, if Professor McGonagall will let me."

"You're always welcome here, Ms Potter." McGonagall said.

I smiled. "Thank you, Professor."

"Hannah, Malfoy, Ivy, can you three come with me?" Harry said with Ron and Hermione behind him.

"Sure." I said, taking Draco's hand. "We'll be right back." I said to Narcissa, following my brother and friends to Dumbledore's old study, where the gargoyles were blown apart.

"Can we go in?" I asked.

"Feel free." the gargoyle said, the door opening.

We all went upstairs and into the round study, which was miraculously spared from the damages of battle.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ivy went in, but when Draco and I followed, there was a splatter of applause.

Draco and I looked up and saw that the old Headmasters and Headmistresses were applauding me, waving their hats, wigs or ear horns in the air. One Headmaster sobbed unashamed, another waved his ear-trumpet, and Phineas Nigellus Black roared in his reedy voice. "A SLYTHERIN! A SLYTHERIN BROUGHT DOWN THE DARK LORD! LET SLYTHERIN HOUSE'S CONTRIBUTION NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!"

I looked to the largest portrait and saw Dumbledore smiling down at me, tears falling down his cheeks and into his beard.

"You were right." I said. "When you gave me Slytherin's Heart."

"I knew you'd figure it out." Dumbledore said, beaming. "Miss Harley."

I laughed, Draco wrapping an arm around me. "That's my Spitfire."

"Hey, you're the Master of the Wand of Destiny." I pointed out.

Draco looked at it, at Dumbledore, then to my brother. "Here." Draco said, tossing the wand to Harry with a wink at me.

I looked to Draco, then to Harry, who was pulling out his destroyed wand. The Elder Wand…

"Draco…you don't think?" I said.

"That the power of the Elder Wand could repair your brother's wand?" Draco asked, nodding. "That's exactly what I'm thinking."

Harry looked to Draco gaping when he set his old wand on the desk, putting the tip of the Elder Wand on the break. "Reparo." he said.

Harry's wand flew back together, red sparks flying from the end as Harry threw the wand back to Draco. Harry grabbed it and the sparks continued. "It's fixed…it's usable!" Harry shouted.

I beamed. "We won." I said.

"I got a powerful wand." Draco said.

"My wand's fixed!" Harry said again.

"And we're all alive." I said before looking down, the smile off my face. "Except for She-Cat."

Ivy nodded, wrapping an arm around me. "The Quartet's broken."

"But she died fighting. She saved my life." I said. "Besides, goodbyes aren't forever, they don't mean the end. They simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again." I smirked. "She-Cat taught me that."

"She-Cat taught me that Drosie's hair can stretch further than I thought." Ivy said, laughing.

I smiled. "You wanna go with it?" Draco asked, handing the Elder Wand to me.

I tossed it back. "Hell no, that wand's more trouble than it's worth." I said. "That wand's yours. You use it. Besides, I've had enough trouble to last awhile."

Draco smirked and kissed me. "We'll just see how long it is until you get in trouble again."

A/N: You're thinking this is the end? That I'm going to nineteen years later now? WRONG! This is the end of the book! And guess what? I'M DOING A SEQUAL TO THE SERIES! Keep reading, it'll be up soon!
