Previously:

Harry smiled and nodded before leaning forward to capture Severus' lips in a heated but soft kiss. "I love you Sev. Be safe and I'll give a few people a basilisk fang and instructions on how to kill Nagini if they have an opening to do so."

Severus pressed a quick kiss to Harry's chapped lips before stepping away; "I love you too. I'll be down to join the battle as soon as I can; be quick Harry it is already 8:30. The Dark Lord should be here by 9:30, 10 at the latest."

Harry nodded and turned back to address those still in the room. Severus swiftly made his way out of the ROR and toward the Ravenclaw common room. He would start there and make his way toward Gryffindor and finish at Hufflepuff.

The dye was being cast and hopefully it would land in their favor, but at this point the battle lines were drawn. After today a new wizarding world would come into existence whether it would be cast in the Light, or shrouded in the Dark remained to be seen.

~~~~~~~~~**********Chapter 12*********~~~~~~~~~~

Severus sat tiredly in his cushy chair behind his large desk in the circular Headmaster's office; he had done everything he could to ensure their victory today. The active wards were all lowered so the approaching Dark forces could enter the grounds of Hogwarts unimpeded.

Severus left the passive wards up so he would be informed when the Dark Lord breached the boundaries of the wards surrounding the castle. Severus also placed other wards, two in fact; one on the Great Hall's main doors and another on the teacher's entrance.

Right now these new wards were passive, only registering when someone with a Dark Mark passed them. Once every invading Death Eater entered the Great Hall Severus would activate the wards prohibiting apparition, any portkeys-with the exception of Lucius and Draco's.

The two additional wards would also help to keep the Death Eaters inside the Hall; Severus knew the barriers that would be erected by the Light side would be strong but every little bit of help would be vital to their victory, and ultimate survival.

Sighing tiredly before he stood to take a Pepper-Up potion so he would be at his best. Once he had choked down the foul tasting liquid Severus rechecked that he had everything he needed; his wand and secondary wand were where they should be, and both were ready to be drawn when the time came.

His potions belt had everything he could think of; pain potions, pepper-ups, calming draughts and minor healing potions for internal injuries. Severus hoped they wouldn't be needed but couldn't help but plan for the worst, he hadn't survived for this longwithout being cautious.

The tall man stiffened when he felt the Dark Lord's menacing presence brush the outer ward's boundary. Severus took a deep breath, he stood to begin his march to the Great Hall to stand with his lover and allies; whether he was walking to his death or their victory was anyone's guess.

Severus had just passed into the Entrance Hall outside of the large doors to the Great Hall; sliding behind a stone pillar Severus watched as about fifty Death Eaters were rushing into the Great Hall, firing off spells and hexes viciously.

Severus smirked, to bad no one was there but let them figure it out in time. Once the last black cloaked figure had entered Severus tapped into the wards, locking down any escape from the Great Hall via means of magical transport, and trapping the many people inside.

Quickly he made his way over to Bill Weasely, helping him to put up, and reinforce the barrier that would allow their spells to pass through, but the Death Eaters to rebound on them. The potions master asked a question to the eldest Weasely child; "Where did you set up the makeshift prison?"

The tall red-head glanced at the current Headmaster, answering Severus' without breaking his concentration on his spell work. "We set it up down in the Dungeons, one of the larger unused potion labs. Several cells have been set up to house our friends here until we can deal with them."

Severus nodded in understanding; "I've added an additional ward to the main door and teacher's entrance. It will take the Death Eaters quite a while to get through it, if they can get through it at all. Excuse me I have to find Harry."

Bill nodded, giving the dour man a slight smile before he refocused his attention entirely on the barrier. Severus cast his dark gaze around, and swiftly made his way over to Harry, Minerva and Kingsley.

"What's going on?" Severus waited for them to fill him in on the plan for the battle. Kingsley spoke in his deep melodious voice; "Once the barriers are set up we will drop the illusion, beginning the offensive attack. I know we can't just use normal stunners on them, and expect to win, but I don't want any unforgivables used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Severus agreed with the dark skinned man, and nodded for Kingsley to continue his explanation of what was going on. Kingsley looked to Harry quirking his eyebrow at the younger man; Harry smirked, and took over explaining the plan of attack.

"Like Kingsley said we will use more powerful ways to stun, and bind them; Mione, Ron and I found an incantation that when added with other spells takes away the ability for another to cancel, or remove the effects on the effected person. Only the caster can remove the spell; quite a handy little thing really."

Severus smiled at Harry feeling proud that this man was his lover, and former pupil; Harry had grown so much since he left Hogwarts. Severus was proud of the man he had become. "That should be helpful. What is the additional incantation then?"

Severus really was curious where Harry found this new spell, but he figured the Q&A could wait for later. "Solum Voluntati Meae are the additional words, use them after you have spoken your chosen spell." Severus nodded his head in understanding, and bowed slightly in respect to his younger lover.

Harry smiled, showing all his love for Severus in his gorgeous emerald eyes; "Alright, once the barrier is up and the illusion dropped we will begin the strike against them. Taking down as many of them as we can.

Once we have managed to incapacitate half of their forces the best fighters we have will enter the Hall, and begin taking out the remaining Death Eaters left. I will enter, engaging Voldemort in combat while you Sev will take care of Nagini. I cannot kill Voldemort without Nagini's death."

"I will do everything I can to take care of that foul creature. Also, I've added wards on the main doors and teacher's entrance, even if your barrier is taken down the wards I've added will keep the Death Eaters in." Once Severus finished speaking Harry smiled, leaninf forward and pressing a quick kiss to Severus lips.

"That's great Sev. Now Hagrid, and Charley have taken our most powerful spell castors, and rounded up the Centaurs to take down the giants. Hopefully we can take down the three of them before they create too much damage. But other than that it will be a pretty straight forward fight.

This is probably the best we could hope for; we are meeting the enemy with the best possible circumstances for the Light. Hopefully by this time tonight Voldemort's merry band of psychos will be locked up, and in Voldemort's case dead."

Severus looked into Harry's eyes, he could see a small bit of distress in his lover's expressive eyes; wanting to speak to his Harry Severus excused them both, making his way to a darkened corner in the Entrance Hall.

"What's the matter Harry?" Severus watched Harry think about his answer before his head hung, when Harry answered he spoke in a soft voice. "After today I'll be a murderer Sev. What if I can't do it? What if I can't kill him?" Severus felt his heart clench at the fear in Harry's voice.

Throwing caution, and propriety to the wind Severus gathered the now taller man in his arms, holding him tight while he murmured his answer in Harry's ear. "Harry, do you remember when I told you we would have to do things we didn't want to do to end this war?

We have both done things we didn't want to but we did them for the best, so all of us could live peaceful lives when this war is over. I killed Dumbledore; it still weighs on me even though the man was dying. I'm a murderer Harry not you.

You are the one who has to end this; whether you choose to kill or totally incapacitate Voldemort is entirely up to you. If it will weigh heavily on your soul bring the snake down, and turn him over to the Ministry to be dealt with. Whatever you decide Harry I will support you."

Harry pressed his face into the crook of Severus' neck, breathing deeply for a few moments before he spoke. Severus shuddered when Harry's words, and warm breath caressed his sensitive skin; he listened while he pushed down his rising arousal and erection.

"Thank you Sev, you always know what to say to make me feel like it will all be okay. You're not a murderer Sev, Dumbledore asked you to end his life. It was an impossibly unfair thing for him to ask of you, but you still did it. I think that took a lot of guts, and if anything it made me love you more.

To know that you put Dumbledore, and the Light side before your own wellbeing just shows me that you're even more wonderful than I thought you were. I love you Severus." Harry pulled his head away from Severus' neck, pressing his slightly chapped lips firmly to Severus' soft ones.

Severus let himself be kissed senseless for a few moments, luxuriating in the dance their tongues were undertaking inside of his mouth. This felt so good, and right to the older man; Severus would be lying if he said he hadn't missed the physical contact his lover, and he used to share in the beginning of their relationship when they were both at Hogwarts.

Severus broke away first gasping for air, trying to center his mind so he would be ready for the fight to come. "I love you too Harry, but we need to focus now." Harry looked like he was trying to regain control himself as well; once they were both breathing a little slower, and the color in their faces cooled both men made their way to the massive Hall doors.

Bill turned to them when they stopped beside him; "We are letting the illusion fall. Be ready to give them hell as soon as it does." Severus nodded numbly, as he watched the illusion in the Great Hall; the Death Eaters were clueless to its existence. That being said the bastards had already slaughtered most of the Hufflepuff students.

Severus was horrified at the sight; even if the students weren't real. It made him feel grateful that the students were evacuated before any of them could be harmed. Severus snapped out of his thoughts when I scream of anguish reached his ears.

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Severus smirked when Bellatrix screeched; the spy for the Light took in the shocked looks on the assembled Death Eaters faces. Harry spoke loudly, strongly to the assembled people in the Hall.

"This ends today Voldemort! After today one of us will be dead!" Once Harry was done speaking over forty flashes of light were hurled by the Light's fighters at the assembled Death Eaters. Most of the spells were deflected but when one of the spells hit the other Death Eaters could not lift the spell from their fallen comrade.

Severus smiled at what he was observing; the additional spell worked just as Harry said it would, not that Severus had thought any different. Severus drew his wand, and began throwing some of the powerful stunning and cutting hexes in his repertoire at his former allies.

Every spell he used was finished with the incantation that would ensure the chosen hex could not be removed until Severus allowed it to be. He was shocked to see how quickly the Death Eaters were falling to the Light's fighters; Severus stopped and surveyed the mob in the Great Hall.

He saw Bellatrix, the Dark Lord, Narcissa and a few werewolves, but other than that the others were younger looking, maybe a few years out of Hogwarts. What happened to Rodolphus, Rabastan and the other members of the Inner Circle?

Severus remained calm before he panicked unnecessarily; he looked around the room once again, and breathed in relief when he saw Rabastan trying to reenervate his brother. Rodulphus did not wake as Severus knew he wouldn't.

Lucius was also missing from the trapped Death Eaters, this observation made Severus smile a small smile. Hopefully Lucius and Draco could make a new life, and start again in France; Merlin knows they deserved some peace after everything they had been forced to endure at the cruel hand of Narcissa, and then the Dark Lord.

Severus glanced around again, the wards he placed around the doors were still holding well, as were the erected barriers. Soon though they would need to enter the Hall, engaging the remaining Death Eaters, and a very dangerous Dark Lord.

The Light continued to hammer the Dark with hexes, jinxes and curses until only fifteen of the trapped Death Eaters were standing. The stunned werewolves were sporting quite a few deep cuts on their extremities; Severus was pleased that they had listened to his earlier advice.

"You ready love?" Severus looked into Harry's emerald eyes, and smiled letting all the love he was feeling flood into his usually blank onyx eyes; "I'm ready. Let's finish this once and for all." They clasped hands, squeezing the others hand tightly for a few moments before they broke away, and prepared themselves to storm the Hall.

Severus breathed in deeply; checking to make sure his Occlumency shields were in place, he continued to breathed deeply re-centering his mind for the fight to come. He waited quietly until Harry gave the signal to advance on the battered Dark forces.

"Ready, Now!" At Harry's shouted command Severus' eyes shot open, his mind was clear, his wand was at the ready as he advanced through the barrier and wards into the wrecked Great Hall. The spells were flying between the assembled forces; in any other instance the bright flashes of so many colors would have been beautiful to watch.

Severus squared off against a very pissed off Rabastan; the younger Lestrange kept screaming at him, calling him a traitor to their Lord. Severus did not say one word to Rabastan; he didn't feel it was necessary. Everyone in the Hall saw him enter with Harry Potter at his side; any denial would be useless and pointless.

The curses and hexes flew between Rabastan and Severus; most of them were extremely dark, and would be painful if they hit. They danced around each other; dodging and casting powerful spells at each other. Severus knew he had to end this soon before Rabastan accidently hit someone with the killing curses he was now firing off like they were Stupefies.

Severus ran through his arsenal of hexes, settling on a very powerful stunner that essentially knocked the victim into a coma until the correct counter spell was used to wake them. Plus, Severus would use the additional incantation so Rabastan would stay down for the remainder of the battle.

Dodging another hurled Avada Severus slashed his wand diagonally before thrusting it forward, speaking the incantation; "Congelata Mentis Et Corporis, Solum Voluntati Meae." The bright purple hex erupted from Severus ebony wand, slamming into Rabastan's heaving chest.

The younger Lestrange crumpled to the ground in a heap. Severus moved on to the next Death Eater, finishing them quickly. It seemed the Dark Lord was running low on skilled fighters. Pushing that thought away Severus continued to stun and bind each and every Death Eater that was close to him.

Severus was making his way across the cavernous room toward the spot where the Dark Lord was dueling Harry; Nagini was hovering in the corner inside her sickening green bubble.

Severus drew the shrunken sword of Gryffindor as he swiftly made his way toward the massive snake. Once he was close enough to Nagini Severus un-shrunk the sword. He then took the heavy hilt in both hands, rushing forward swinging the heave razor sharp sword in an upward arc.

Severus felt his eyes slide closed when he saw the blade bite into Nagini's think neck, he heard the sound of flesh being severed, and bones being shattered as the blade made its way through Nagini's body. Finally, Severus felt no more resistance against the sword's blade.

Opening his eyes Severus looked upon the sight of Nagini's bloody severed head next to his booted foot; they had done it! Voldemort was mortal again! Severus heard an inhuman scream, and glanced to where the noise came from; his eyes widened when he saw the Dark Lord staring directly at him, nothing but hatred and anger in those crimson eyes.

Severus froze under that hateful gaze. Not even when the Dark Lord began to speak the killing curse could Severus move. He heard Harry scream something, but the words were garbled to his usually sharp ears.

Severus onyx eyes took in the sight of Harry casting the Avada Kedavra before Voldemort could finish the incantation that would send the killing curse toward Severus. The Dark Lord fell when the sickening green light hit him in his thin chest; those fiery red eyes went dull, as the tall skeletal body slumped to the ground.

Severus couldn't believe his eyes; the Dark Lord was dead, the monster was finally dead. He walked toward his lover as if he was on autopilot, when he reached Harry's shaking form they grabbed onto the other's body, as if they would be swept away without the other to anchor them.

Severus slid to the ground his arms still tightly wrapped around the man he loved, neither of them noticed the continued battle going on, or when the last Death Eater fell; the only thing that mattered to Severus was the manin his arms.

The war was over, it was finally over! Severus felt his eyes water when the thought finally sunk into his head; he was finally free! Harry had set them free to live their lives together! Yes, Severus would have much to deal with before they could have their happily ever after, but it would be worth it as long as he had Harry.

Severus pushed all those worrisome wandering thoughts away; he just allowed himself be held closely to Harry's strong body. Severus held onto his lover just as tightly, not wanting to ever let go again. The surrounding members of the Light celebrated their victory in the Final Battle between Light and Dark, completely oblivious to Harry and Severus.

Tonight marked a new beginning for wizarding world of Britain; Severus was elated that he could see it all come together now that the Dark Lord's crual shadow was removed from thier world.

Only my will = solum voluntati meae
