With delightment, I present you the last chapter of my first fanfic. In order to write it, I had to use some parts of chapter 27, from HBP, "The Lighting-Struck Tower". I hope that you will enjoy it and that you will read as well my new up and coming, fanfic. Thank you and happy reading!
CHAPTER 10The prophecy that came trueRight after Dumbledore wrote the letter to Lee, he met Harry and they both went to the cave where Dumbledore believed that Voldemort had hidden the Horcrux. It required great effort to break the spells Voldemort had done at the cave, but they managed to retrieve the third part of the Lord's soul. Dumbledore, however, had to pay a price for his acquirement: he drank a potion that made him weak.
When they returned to Hogwarts, they realised that there was a battle going on. Dumbledore ordered Harry to wear his Invisibility Cloak and froze him in order to protect him from his enemies. Harry could not move and thus, he witnessed a scene that would haunt his dreams forever.
The true events of that night are known to the pure-hearted ones who listened and believed to Harry's words. It is unnecessary and rather painful recalling all the events of that dark night of the second War.
There is a scene, however, worth referring to.
The scene of Dumbledore's death.
Malfoy had suddenly arrived at the tower where Harry and Dumbledore were, and tried to kill his Headmaster. But he was too weak to do it. It was not meant, however, for Dumbledore to survive as three Death Eaters and a werewolf appeared, making escape impossible for him.
"Now Draco, quickly, kill him!" said one of them, encouraging Malfoy.
But Malfoy's wand was shaking so badly that he could barely aim. Dumbledore was standing with his back against the wall. He was wandless and weak, he was the prefect victim.
"I'll do it" snarled Greyback the werewolf, moving towards Dumbledore with his hands outstretched.
"I say no!" shouted a brutal-faced man.
"Draco, do it, or stand aside so one of us - " screamed a woman, but at that precise moment the door burst open once more and there stood Snape.
"We've got a problem, Snape, the boy doesn't seem able..." said the lumpy Amycus.
But someone else had spoken Snape's name, quite softly.
"Severus..."
It was Dumbledore who had just realised the meaning of the prophecy. He could even hear Sivylla's voice:
The one whom fears the LordSnape said nothing, but moved forwards...
Will sadly be betrayed...and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way...
But he is now told, he shouldn't be afraid...The three Death Eaters fell back without a word...
By friendly hand he will be killed...Even the werewolf seemed cowed...
By hostile wand his eyes'll be sealed...Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face...
His death will be very fast, he will have no futureBut noone will forget his past or his very last torture..."Severus...please..."...
The traitor will die, after his horrible act...Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore...
And this is not a lie..."Avada Kedavra!"
A green light shot from Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore right in the chest. His eyes were full of fear and pain. He didn't have the time to realise what killed him: the deadly curse or the betrayal? For a moment, he looked at everyone around him and then, he fell backwards, leaving from the world of the living ones.
But a real to be fact.Albus Dumbledore died because of a betrayal. Many said that his death was quick and painless, the kind of death everyone wishes for. They also said that he was old, and thus, he had appreciated the beauty of life. But Harry Potter and the people who knew him better, knew that this was not the kind of death Albus wanted. He believed in love and in friendship and being led to death because of them, was a death itself. Albus Dumbledore was a fighter, a brilliant mind, a great wizard. But above all, he was a person with a heart that could love the whole world. We promise to follow his steps and try to make the world a better place for everyone. He shall live forever in our hearts.
