〃NOT　MY　DAUGHTER；　YOU　BITCH！〃
Mrs。　Weasley　threw　off　her　cloak　as　she　ran；　freeing　her　arms；　Bellatrix　spun　on　the　spot；　roaring　with　laughter　at　the　sight　of　the　new　challenger。
〃OUT　OF　MY　WAY！〃　shouted　Mrs。　Weasley　to　the　three　girls；　and　with　a　simple　swipe　of　her　wand　she　began　to　duel。　Harry　watched　with　terror　and　elation　as　Molly　Weasley's　wand　slashed　and　twisted；　and　Bellatrix　Lestrange's　smile　faltered　and　became　a　snarl。　Jets　of　light　flew　from　both　wands；　the　floor　around　the　withces'　feet　became　bot　and　cracked；　both　woman　were　fighting　to　kill。
〃No！〃　Mrs。　Weasley　cried　as　a　few　students　ran　forward；　trying　to　come　to　her　aid。　〃Get　back！　iGet　back！i　She　is　mine！〃
Hundreds　of　people　now　lined　the　walls；　watching　the　two　fights；　Voldemort　and　his　three　opponents；　Bellatrix　and　Molly；　and　Harry　stood；　invisible；　torn　between　both；　wanting　to　attack　and　yet　to　protect；　unable　to　be　sure　that　he　would　not　hit　the　innocent。
〃What　will　happen　to　your　children　when　I've　killed　you？〃　taunted　Bellatrix；　as　mad　as　her　master；　capering　as　Molly's　curses　danced　around　her。　〃When　Mummy's　gone　the　same　way　as　Freddie？〃
〃You　…　will　…　never　…　touch　…　our　…　children　…　again！〃　screamed　Mrs。　Weasley。
Bellatrix　laughed　the　same　exhilarated　laugh　her　cousin　Sirius　had　given　as　he　toppled　backward　through　the　veil；　and　suddenly　Harry　knew　what　was　going　to　happen　before　it　did。
Molly's　curse　soared　beneath　Bellatrix's　constreched　arm　and　hit　her　squarely　in　the　chest；　directly　over　her　heart。
Bellatrix's　glounting　smile　froze；　her　eyes　seemd　to　bulge：　For　the　tiniest　space　of　time　she　knew　what　had　happened；　and　then　she　toppled；　and　the　watching　crowd　roared；　and　Voldemord　screamed。
Harry　felt　as　though　he　turned　into　slow　motin：　he　saw　McGonagall；　Kingsley　and　Slughorn　blasted　backward；　flailing　and　writhing　through　the　air；　as　Voldemort's　fury　at　the　fall　of　his　last；　best　leutenant　exploded　with　the　force　of　a　bomb；　Voldemort　raised　his　wand　and　directed　it　at　Molly　Weasley。
〃iProtego！i〃　roared　Harry；　and　the　Shield　Charm　expanded　in　the　middle　of　the　Hall；　and　Voldemort　stared　around　for　the　source　as　Harry　pulled　off　the　Invisibility　Cloak　at　last。
The　yell　of　shock；　the　cheers；　the　screams　on　every　side　of　：〃Harry！〃　〃HE'S　ALIVE！〃　were　stifled　at　once。　The　crowd　was　afraid；　and　silence　fell　abruptly　and
completely　as　Voldemort　and　Harry　looked　at　each　other；　and　began；　at　the　same　moment；　to　circle　each　other。
〃I　don't　want　anyone　else　to　help；〃　Harry　said　loudly；　and　in　the　total　silence　his　voice　carried　like　a　trumpet　call。　〃It's　got　to　be　like　this。　It's　got　to　be　me。〃
Voldemort　hissed。
〃Potter　doesn't　mean　that；〃　he　said；　his　red　eyes　wide。　〃This　isn't　how　he　works；　is　it？　Who　are　you　going　to　use　as　a　shield　today；　Potter？〃
〃Nobody；〃　said　Harry　simply。　〃There　are　no　more　Horcruxes。　It's　just　you　and　me。　Neither　can　live　while　the　other　survives；　and　one　of　us　is　about　to　leave　for　good。　。　。　。〃
〃One　of　us？〃　jeered　Voldemort；　and　his　wholy　body　was　taut　and　his　red　eyes　stared；　a　snake　that　was　about　to　strike。　〃You　think　it　will　be　you；　do　you；　the　boy　who　has　survived　by　accident；　and　because　Dumbledore　was　pulling　the　strings？〃
〃Accident；　was　it；　when　my　mother　died　to　save　me？〃　asked　Harry。　They　were　still　moving　sideways；　both　of　them；　in　that　perfect　circle；　maintaining　the　same　distance　from　each　other；　and　for　Harry　no　face　existed　but　Voldemort's。　〃Accident；　when　I　decided　to　fight　in　that　graveyard？　Accident；　that　I　didn't　defend　myself　tonight；　and　still　survived；　and　returned　to　fight　again？〃
〃iAccidents！i〃　screamed　Voldemort；　but　still　he　did　not　strike；　and　the　watching　crowd　was　frozen　as　if　Petrified；　and　of　the　hundreds　in　the　Hall；　nobody　seemed　to　breathe　but　they　two。　〃Accident　and　chance　and　the　fact　that　you　crouched　and　sniveled　behind　the　skirts　of　greater　men　and　women；　and　permitted　me　to　kill　them　for　you！〃
〃You　won't　be　killing　anyone　else　tonight；〃　said　Harry　as　they　circled；　and　stared　into　each　other's　eyes；　green　into　red。　〃You　won't　be　able　to　kill　any　of　them　ever　again。　Don't　you　get　it？　I　was　ready　to　die　to　stop　you　from　hurting　these　people　…　〃
〃But　you　did　not！〃
〃　…　I　meant　to；　and　that's　what　did　it。　I've　done　what　my　mother　did。　They're　protected　from　you。　Haven't　you　noticed　how　none　of　the　spells　you　put　on　them　are　binding？　You　can't　torture　them。　You　can't　touch　them。　You　don't　learn　from　your　mistakes；　Riddle；　do　you？〃
〃iYou　dare　…i〃
〃Yes；　I　dare；〃　said　Harry。　〃I　know　things　you　don't　know；　Tom　Riddle。　I　know　lots　of　important　things　that　you　don't。　Want　to　hear　some；　before　you　make　another　big　mistake？〃
Voldemort　did　not　speak；　but　powled　in　a　circle；　and　Harry　knew　that　he　kept　him　temporarily　mesmerized　at　bay；　held　back　by　the　faintest　possibility　that　Harry　might　indeed　know　a　final　secret。　。　。　。
〃Is　it　love　again？〃　said　Voldemort；　his　snake's　face　jeering。　〃Dumbledore　favorite　solution；　ilovei；　which　he　claimed　conqered　death；　though　love　did　not　stop　him　falling　from　the　tower　and　breaking　like　and　old　waxwork？　iLove；i　which　did　not　prevent　me　stamping　out　your　Modblood　mother　like　a　cockroack；　Potter　…　and　nobody　seems　to　love　you　enough　to　run　forward　this　time　and　take　my　curse。　So　what　will　stop　you　dying　now　when　I　strike？〃
〃Just　one　thing；〃　said　Harry；　and　still　they　circled　each　other；　wrapped　in　each　other；　held　apart　by　nothing　but　the　last　secret。
〃If　it　is　not　love　that　will　save　you　this　time；〃　said　Voldemort；　〃you　must　believe　that　you　have　magic　that　i　do　not；　or　else　a　weapon　more　powerful　than　mine？〃
〃I　believe　both；〃　said　Harry；　and　he　saw　shock　flit　across　the　snakelike　face；　though　it　was　instantly　dispelled；　Voldemort　began　to　laugh；　and　the　sound　was　more　frightening　than　his　screams；　humorles　and　insane；　it　echoed　around　the　silent　Hall。
〃You　think　iyoui　know　more　magic　than　I　do？〃　he　said。　〃Than　iIi；　than　Lord　Voldemort；　who　has　performed　magic　that　Dumbledore　himself　never　dreamed　of？〃
〃Oh　he　dreamed　of　it；〃　said　Harry；　〃but　he　knew　more　than　you；　knew　enough　not　to　do　what　you've　done。〃
〃You　mean　he　was　weak！〃　screamed　Voldemort。　〃Too　weak　to　dare；　too　weak　to　take　what　might　have　been　his；　what　will　be　mine！〃
〃No；　he　was　cleverer　than　you；〃　said　Harry；　〃a　better　wizard；　a　better　man。〃
〃I　brought　about　the　death　of　Albus　Dumbledore！〃
〃You　thought　you　did；〃　said　Harry；　〃but　you　were　wrong。〃
For　the　frist　time；　the　watching　crowd　stirred　as　the　hundreds　of　people　around　the　walls　drew　breath　as　one。
〃iDumbledore　is　dead！i〃　Voldemort　hurled　the　words　at　Harry　as　in　the　marble　tomb　in　the　grounds　of　this　castle；　I　have　seen　it；　Potter；　and　he　will　not　return！〃
〃Yes；　Dumbledore　is　dead；〃　said　Harry　calmly；　〃but　you　didn't　have　him　killed。　He　chose　his　own　manner　of　dying；　chose　it　months　before　he　died；　arranged　the　whole　thing　with　the　man　you　thought　was　your　servant。〃
〃What　chldish　dream　is　this？〃　said　Voldemort；　but　still　he　did　not　strike；　and　his　red　eyes　did　not　waver　from　Harry's。
〃Severus　Snape　wasn't　yours；〃　said　Harry。　〃Snape　was　Dumbledore's。　Dumbledore's　from　the　moment　you　starting　hunting　down　my　mother。　And　you　never　realized　it；　because　of　the　thing　you　can't　understand。　You　never　saw　Snape　cast　a　Patronus；　did　you；　Riddle？〃
Voldemort　did　not　answer。　They　continued　to　circle　each　other　like　wolves　about　to　tear　each　other　apart。
〃Snape's　Patronus　was　a　doe；〃　said　Harry；　〃the　same　as　my　mother's；　because　he　loved　her　for　nearly　all　of　his　life；　from　the　time　when　they　were　children。　You　should　have　realized；〃　he　said　as　he　saw　Voldemort's　nostrils　flare；　〃he　asked　you　to　spare　her　life；　didn't　he？〃　〃He　desired　her；　that　was　all；〃　sneered　Voldemort；　〃but　when　she　had　gone；　he　agreed　that　there　were　other　women；　and　of　purer　blood；　worhier　of　him　…　〃
〃Of　course　he　told　you　that；〃　said　Harry；　〃but　he　was　Dumbledore's　spy　from　the　moment　you　threatened　her；　and　he's　been　working　against　you　ever　since！　Dumbledore　was　already　dying　when　Snape　finished　him！〃
〃It　matters　not！〃　shrieked　Voldemort；　who　had　followed　every　word　with　rapt　attention；　but　now　let　out　a　cackle　of　mad　laughter。　〃It　matters　not　whether　Snape　was　mine　or　Dumbledore's；　or　what　petty　obstacles　they　tried　to　put　in　my　path！　I　crushed　them　as　I　crushed　your　mother；　Snape's　supposed　great　ilovei！　Oh；　but　it　all　makes　sense；　Potter；　and　in　ways　that　you　do　not　understand！
〃Dumbledore　was　trying　to　keep　the　Elder　Wand　from　me！　He　intended　that　Snape　should　be　the　true　master　of　the　wand！　But　I　got　there　ahead　of　you；　little　boy　…　I　reached　the　wand　before　you　could　get　your　hands　on　it；　I　understood　the　truth　before　you　caught　up。　I　killed　Severus　Snape　three　hours　ago；　and　the　Elder　Wand；　the　Deathstick；　the　Wand　of　Destiny　is　truly　mine！　Dumbledore's　last　plan　went　wrong；　Harry　Potter！〃
〃Yeah；　it　did。〃　said　Harry。　〃You're　right。　But　before　you　try　to　kill　me；　I'd　advise　you　think　what　you've　done　。　。　。　。　Think；　and　try　for　some　remorse；　Riddle。　。　。　。〃
〃What　is　this？〃
Of　all　the　things　that　Harry　had　said　to　him；　beyond　any　revelation　or　taunt；　nothing　had　socked　Voldemort　like　this。　Harry　saw　is　pupils　contract　to　thin　slits；　saw　the　skin　around　his　eyes　whiten。
〃It's　your　one　last　chance；〃　said　Harry；　〃it's　all　you've　got　left。　。　。　。　I've　seen　what　you'll　be　otherwise。　。　。　。　Be　a　man。　。　。　try。　。　。　Try　for　some　remorse。　。　。　。〃
〃You　dare　a150a150　？〃　said　Voldemort　again。
〃Yes；　I　dare；〃　said　Harry；　〃because　Dumbledore's　last　plan　hasn't　backfired　on　me　at　all。　It's　backfired　on　you；　Riddle。〃
Voldemort's　hand　was　trembling　on　the　Elder　Wand；　and　Harry　gripped　Draco's　very　tightly。　The　moment；　he　knew；　was　seconds　away。
〃That　wand　still　isn't　working　properly　for　you　because　you　murdered　the　wrong　person。　Severus　Snape　was　never　the　true　master　of　the　Elder　Wand。　He　never　defeated　Dumbledore。〃
〃He　killed　a150a150　〃
〃Aren't　you　listening？　iSnape　never　beat　Dumbledore！i　Dumbledore's　death　was　planned　between　them！　Dumbledore　instended　to　die；　undefeated；　the　wand's　last　true　master！　If　all　had　gone　as　planned；　the　wand's　power　would　have　died　with　him；　because　it　had　never　been　won　from　him！〃
〃But　then；　Potter；　Dumbledore　as　good　as　gave　me　the　wand！〃　Voldemort's　voice　shook　with　malicious　pleasure。　〃I　stole　the　wand
