Shattered hearts and broken paths

Harry's heart hitched. He knew he was not alone, but he felt as if he was standing in front of the whole world right now. Merlin knew the whole wizarding world was counting on him.

"Welcome Potter" A snake like voice slithered into the air.

"Voldemort." He spat, disgusted that this is what it came to, all the time in the world to prepare for this would not have been enough time.

"Its time to battle." Voldemort spat.

Harry withdrew his wand. Took stance and prepared himself.

This was about to get ugly.

Voldemort sat, waiting for him to make a move, waiting to see what this child who everyone predicted would defeat him was going to do.

He laughed "Potter you are just a child, your magic does not even hold a candle to my matured magical skills."

Harry knew it, Harry knew it all along, a long time ago. The dreams, the possessions, the dark artifacts and horcrux's these are all things Harry would never be able to do. He wanted to be a wizard so bad, The day he found out he was over joyed! When the stories where told and the mentions of war were revealed he just wanted to be that 12 year old boy again who lived in the cupboard beneath the stairs.

"Conjuctivus" Harry yelled. He figured he may as well blind him seeing as how he was blind enough to let 6 students come into his army without any question.

"Expelliarmus" Was shouted by all the students. The adult death eaters had no idea what hit them, They all stood there without their wands.

With a flick of her wrist Hermione had all the wands except for those on her side, and Voldemorts.

"Crucio" Voldemort yelled at Harry, He missed and hit Tam instead. Tam took it, he lay there and his whole body convulsed and he did not scream or make the slightest sound.

"What is going on here Paige?" Voldemort asked surprised to see the turn of events.

"I am not Paige, I am Hermione Granger. Evalynn and Snape's daughter, and since I am in danger my mothers oath to you is no good." Hermione said as she turned back into herself. This way she could focus more of her power.

Voldemort was defeated. He knew he was. In the time Hermione told Voldmort what happened all the other death eaters where immobilized by the stupefy curse. A wave of Evalynn's hand and the door holding Snape prisoner flew open.

"You got me on this one Potter." Voldemort spat as he tired to dissapperate. There was no use. He couldnt even manage to move himself three feet.

Hermione was concentrating hard on holding up the anti dissaperation spell. Taylor, Blaise and Mika where making sure none of the death eaters got out of the spell holding them immobile.

Something was going seriously wrong, this is not how he planned it to be. His new recruits seemed so faithful, so loyal and true.

"Sectumsempra" Bellowed a voice, loud and clear. It was Professor Snape.

Harry remembered seeing the spell in a book, A potions book with helpful hints for potion brewing, and made up spells with no meaning.Spells he thought wouldn't work.

Voldemort was on the floor dark green blood oozed from his body. Green blood, Evil blood. Un-pure, disgusting, not even human blood.

"Finish him Harry, Your the only one who can." It echoed in his head. He knew it was the truth. He knew there was no way around it.

The whole world seemed to stand still, Two words needed to come out of Harry's mouth. Two words he was terrified to yell. He was just a child. He didn't want to be a murderer. He knew it had to be done. He knew that it was only fair. His parents lives, and so many other innocent lives taken by this evil foul man. It was time for him to get was coming to him.

"Avada Kedavra" Harry yelled out.

Voldemort was pale, sickly pale and the blood stopped oozing. He was dead.

Hermione and Draco embarrassed each other, Hermione did not want to see death. It was not the first time, and she hopped the last time. She hopped the war was over once and for all. She just wanted to live happily with her family.

Evalynn and Snape pulled Harry to them, he was hysteric. He had killed someone, he won, he was alive. He did what everyone thought he couldnt and wouldn't do. He did what the prophecy said he would do.

Tam stopped convulsing and lay very still on the floor. Almost as if he where dead. Mika and Taylor ran over to him and made sure he was ok.

Blaise walked over to Hermione and Draco, "I was almost having my doubts" he said and looked at the ground. "I didn't think we would win, There was too many of them, I guess the surprise element is the best strategy." He continued as he looked down again and wandered towards the other 3 students. Guilt flushed through him. "I'm sorry I had doubts" he whispered quietly and walked away.

They all sat and watched the frozen in time Death Eaters. their eyes were wide. Horror could not even mask their faces. Frozen still, stiff, unmovable, unable to flee, unable to go back to their families.

"Azkaban for the whole lot of you I hope" Snape said. He was disgusted that so many people showed up in hopes of watching the slaughtering of a child. Despicable foul human beings he thought to himself.

Albus Dumbledore showed up 10 minutes after the battle was over with Kingsly Shacklebolt and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix right behind them.

"We must never let what happened here get out. Or how these Childern became to be here." Dumbledore said as he looked down at the 7 Students and 2 adults.

Everyone shook their head in agreance.

All the Death Eaters where bound and sent off to Azkaban which was currently undergoing the change of staff.

No Dementors where going to let any of these terrible people escape. Not again.

They could wander through Azkaban, it was their home, it was a place of death and dismay. But they where not in charge.

Voldemort's body was taken away by the Order and disposed of properly. No one really knew what that meant, but he never had a happy cremation or burial.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The whole wizarding world celebrated January 1st, It was not Halloween, it was not the witching hour, it was not the turn of the new year, it was the start of a new era.

Voldemort was dead. Harry Potter and the 6 students who helped him was no secret.

The great 7 they where called. They all sat at the Head Table, A dinner in honor of them.

Harry in the Middle, Paige, Draco and Tam on one side, Taylor and Mika on the other. Along the back table sat all the Professors and ones wife.

Everyone was celebrating. Draco had his hand on Hermione's leg. They had news big news. Pansy Parkinson approached the table. She wanted to congratulate Draco for being such a brave and handsome man.

Pansy leaned forward and shook the hands of all the members at the table. When she got to Paige she accidentally knocked the Pumpkin juice right onto her lovely white dress. "Oooops she said with a smile."

Hermione didn't care, it was a reason to leave the hall, leave the celebration, leave the stares from everyone. She was uncomfortable enough at the moment being with the news she was going to share with her family.

Family, it was a word. A word she knew, she had a muggle family, people she thought where her parents. But she had 2 real wizard parents. One she used to despise for the way he was, and one she had never even heard of.

Hermione stood. "Draco, I am going to the head dorms to change."

"Why just use your magic and clean it up?"

"No I think I need a moment as well." She said as she pushed her chair in and walked out of the great hall.

Blue eyes followed her every move "Perfect" and stood up and walked out of the room,

"Expelliarmus" Was shouted at Hermione's back. Her wand went flying out of her hand. She knew she did not need it anyways.

Hermione turned around. She knew who it was. She knew what it was about. She knew Pansy Parkinson was planning to try and get rid of her once and for all.

"Crucio" Pansy yelled. It hit Hermione hard. She fell to the ground. Her body wreathing and convulsing on the floor. Pain throughout her whole body. Hermione let out a blood curdling scream.
No one was coming. No one could hear her. The hall was in deep conversation, no one would be able to hear her yell over it.

Pansy took her wand off Hermione and the curse lifted. She was weak, too weak to use her wand less magic.

Loud thudding footsteps came down the hall. Black slacks, blond hair. Draco came rushing in. "Paige!" He yelled and turned on Pansy.

"You bitch, I should kill you." Draco snarled at the girl.

This was not what she wanted. She wanted her to be attacked and left, not be caught by Draco. Pansy slumped down against the wall and started crying hysterically.

"You didn't want me anymore, you wanted her, only had eyes for her. Never even came to see me, connect the way we used to, the sex we used to have was amazing, and you never left her side. Never took a second glance at me. I thought if I could get rid of her, you would leave her too." Tears streaming down her face, she put her head down. She was defeated, depressed and now full of regret.

Draco lifted Hermione off of the floor and took her to the head dorms where she would be safe. Severus and Evalynn where notified immediately and they where there within minutes after Draco sent work by elf and laid Hermione on the couch.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ron never received a letter from Hermione in response to the letter he sent. He was angry. Very angry.

Slap, it echoed through the abandoned class room. Lavander grabbed her face, the red hand print was already turning brighter and stinging her more. "Ron ouch" she yelled as she tried to get away from him, he was turning into someone she didn't want to be with.

"Your not getting away from me bitch." Ron said as he pushed her forward onto the desk.

Lavander tried to move a bit, Ron over powered her. The cold surface of the desk on her stomach. This was not what she wanted.

Ron lifted her skirt and ripped down her black cotton bootie shorts and slapped her ass. Another red stinging mark appeared on her body. Lavander cried out in pain.

Ron positioned the head of his cock at her entrance and pushed into her. It was not soft or gentle, it was angry and vigorous. It was brutal, she felt her hips bruising from his grip and felt the blood from his nails digging into her skin start to run.

A tear fell down her cheek. She just wanted to be loved. She thought Ron was more sensitive then that, thought he was the best guy out of all the others in their year. Thought she could be happy with him. Thought Hermione didn't deserve him, he was too good for her. She should of let her have him, if it was like, she didn't want it.

Ron came, fast and hard. By this time Lavander was crying loud and free. There was something different about the way he came. It was not a pull out and put it in her mouth, it was nothing like it used to be. He came inside of her, and came hard inside of her. Maybe he did love her after all? Hope filler her.

Ron sat on the desk beside Lavander and looked at her. Disgust ran through him, but she took him, full heartedly. "I'm sorry." He said as he wiped the tears from her eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hermione." A soft gentle female voice spoke. "Hermione love, are you ok?" it was Evalynn, she was so concerned about her daughter. She looked rough, she lost alot of blood as well. No one understood why there was blood.

Draco did, he knew all to well.

Hermione opened her eyes, She felt it, she felt the emptiness in her stomach. A tear ran down her face. Draco was by her side, holding her hand and rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand in reassurance.

"Mom, Dad?" Hermione asked, she was so confused, "What happened?"

"You were attacked." Draco replied.

"Pansy?" Hermione asked, a vivid flash back playing n her mind.

Draco nodded.

"Mom, Dad, I got big news...." Hermione said. She knew it want as big as it was supposed to be. Not now, not after the attack.

"Draco and I are getting married." Hermione said. A smile coming onto her face. She held up her left hand for her mom to see the ring. It was simple, like Hermione. It was s small white gold band with a heart shaped diamond on it. It was beautiful.

"Congratulations." Evalynn said.

Snape was not so sure this was a good idea. "Are you guys sure? This is what you want?" He just got his daughter back, just got her in his life again, he wanted her to himself for a while, he didn't want to have to give her away again.

"Yes" Hermione said as she looked at Draco.

"Well you have my blessing then." Snape said. He couldnt say no, not after what they had been through together.

"Do you guys have a date set?" Evalynn asked.

"Not until after grad" Hermione said.

She was tired. Tired and sore, She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

AN, I was done with Lavender and Ron and Pansy, But I was asked to display more of them, So Angel_moon this is for you.

There will be one more chapter, it was be the last one. Hope you all enjoy!
