The Final Battle
Arianna's POV
Sometimes, you know when it's time. I knew too. We had been putting charms around all known places that Harry might have apparated to. Hogsmeade was one of them. If he ever apparated in there, the alarm would go off immediately, warning us.
It did. We all rushed to Hogwarts though, not Hogsmeade. I wonder why though. Very soon I knew. He was worried. Voldemort worried, I thought I'd never ever see that day. He was looking a little pale day by day though. I hope that he was becoming weaker, nobody noticed it though.
We stood outside Hogwarts and I was just waiting for him to break the barrier around Hogwarts. I saw the teachers constructing the barrier, us breaking it. I felt tears in my eyes, being back at Hogwarts, though I hadn't imagined it would be this way.
I wasn't with the Order, but I had tried my best to tell them to come to Hogwarts, through Remus of course. Nobody knew it was me, at least I hoped not. I just hoped that they just reached here in time.
As Voldemort broke the barrier, we all rushed forward, well only the closest staying back. Fortunately, I was not part of them. Me and Draco went in together, hoping that we would come out together, with our sanity.
As Draco went with Crabbe and Goyle, I looked around. Duels were happening everywhere, and to my luck, I was right there. I saw some winning, some losing and I knew, I had to.make a decision now. To help the good, or to help the evil?
Harry's POV
We reached Hogwarts through the passage and immediately I set out with Luna to talk to The Grey Lady. She was roaming around the Ravenclaw Tower, and as soon as we reached her, she came in front of us.
"Welcome Luna." She smiled. "What brings you here?"
"This is Harry Potter. He wanted to ask you questions." Luna gestured to me.
"The Chosen One. I've noticed you around here. Shouldn't you be with the others?" She looked curiously at me, leaning her head.
"I wanted to know about the lost diadem."
As soon as I said that, her expression changed. She flew towards me with an expression of anger. "Do not speak of it! I made a mistake, a simple one."
She turned and began floating away. "Wait! Stop, please. Did you steal it from Rowena Ravenclaw?"
"She was my mother." She said, a bit nostalgic. "She was so pretty, and clever, and that diadem was providing her powers. I stole it from her and ran away with my lover, only to have him kill me in my sleep."
"You know the place?" I asked.
"No." She answered and begin floating away.
"Did you give it to Tom Riddle?" I asked, taking a step.
"He was charming, polite and he coaxed me. He said he wanted to see it, see if it was real, worthy. I had to show him. But instead what he did." As he turned towards me. "He defiled it! Turned my mother's memory into an object of dark magic!" She said angrily.
"Could you tell me where is it now?" I asked.
"You remind me if him." She said, lightly. "You've got the charm. To answer the question, it is in a place where everything you think of, it appears."
As we walked away, I spent time thinking about the clue. Then it just popped into my head. The Room of Requirements!
I picked up speed and found Ron and Hermione on the way, they were dripping all over. "Where did you go?"
"To the Chambers." Ron answers. "W -Okay Hermione- says that since we have to break the diadam, a basilisk tooth would break it completely and since we don't have one, we decided to go down to the Chambers and find out if we did."
"But, we didn't." Hermione interjects. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be," I answered. "Come on, we have a diadem to find."
Arianna's POV
As I fought, I am so glad that I made the right decision, fighting for mum, dad and Sirius. They were my soul concern. What would mum and dad face if Voldemort won? I couldn't let that happen.
As I fought another Death Eater, I went around. Molly was busy and so were the others. I hadn't even seen Harry, Ron and Hermione. For all I know, they could be dead.
Just then, I saw a Death Eater head towards a third year. What in the name of Merlin was he trying to do? As he went towards him, I ran. As I reached them, I immediately jabbed him and went in front of the boy, shielding him.
"Ah, Arianna." He chuckled.
"What were you doing?" I asked him.
"Simply teaching the muggle a lesson, that's all." He smirked. "But I guess I can duel you, the Dark Lord won't be happy when he sees that you betrayed him."
"I was never part of the Death Eaters to begin with." I said, angrily.
"The Dark Mark says otherwise, you know?"
As soon as I heard that, I saw red. I immediately threw jinxes at him, he managed to block many of them too. One of them hit him and as soon as I saw that, I let down my guard. I guess a wrong thing to do, because next thing I saw was a red light heading towards me, and I was out cold. And here I thought I could duel.
As I woke up, I was in King's Cross, but it looked so, so white. Unnaturally white, though. As i looked around, I heard footsteps. I turned and behind me, was Dumbledore. "I'm definitely dreaming here."
"Yes, my child, this is mearly a figment of your imagination." Dumbledore answered, smiling. He was smiling a lot now.
"Can I go back then?" I asked.
"Not yet. We do have to wait for someone." Dumbledore said, taking a seat.
"Great," I murmured, sitting down beside him. "So, why are you here?"
Harry's POV
As I walked into the forbidden forest with the stone in my hand, I was sure I was doing the right thing. Giving myself up to Voldemort, for the others was the right thing. I couldn't have any more bloodshed happening.
As I was going there, I turned the stone in my hand thrice. As soon as I turned it the third time, images started to come out. First it was Sirius, then Cedric, lastly mom and dad. They all said dying was like a pinch. It didn't hurt, nor did it cause pain. It was like an endless sleep.
As I reached the clearing, Voldemort was waiting for me on the other side, with some of his followers behind him. As I stood in front of him, he laughed.
"Harry Potter had come," He said. "To his death!"
As soon as he said that, the people started to laugh and cheer. On my right, I saw Hagrid chained up, who was crying.
"Let's get on with it." Voldemort said, and stood. We bowed, and as soon as we got up, we shot a spell at each other. I guess I wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but the last thing I saw, was the green light hitting me. Now, I would be with my parents.
As I woke up though, I didn't see my parents, nor the clearing. Where was I then? As I looked around, the place looked like King's Cross, only whiter.
I heard footsteps. I turned and there I saw, Dumbledore. "Professor?"
"Just Dumbledore, Harry," Dumbledore chuckled. "I'm afraid I'm not a professor now."
"Am I dead?" I asked.
"Dead, well you have a choice." Dumbledore said.
"What?" I asked.
"You could die, meet your parents and not worry about anything. Or, you could go back, fight Voldemort and if you win, you have a future there." Dumbledore said, sitting down.
"What if I want to stay here?" I asked.
"Do you see that, Harry?" He said, pointing towards the other bench.
"Who is that?" I asked. It was a black thing who was hiding inside, wanting the dark. It was quite scared, too.
"That's Voldemort's soul." He said. "His last one. You."
"Neither can live while the other survives." I said. "So really, there's no need for me to go back."
"What about me?" I heard Arianna's voice.

Of course, I do have ideas on other books but I have two ideas right in front of my eyes.
Numero Uno being a One Direction book, you know, them going to India! It's going to be focused on Louis Tomlinson only.
Numero Dos being a continuation of this book, but it would be focused on Slyvia's life, since she's got quite a lovvvee going on. First one being Ron Weasely and the second one being Draco Malfoy.
