Will There Be Light Forever?

Three hooded wizards entered the dark cave. The wizards were none other then Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and the mighty Harry Potter. The three had been together for more then seven years now, facing dangers and saving the wizarding world on a few occasions. Now they are about to meet their destiny, because within the cave works the one and only Lord Voldemort.

Harry looked at his friends standing beside him, Hermione on his right and Ron to his left, and they both nodded in agreement to the unspoken question: "Are you all right?"

They started walking into the center of the cave with their wands ready.

They walked for what seemed to be hours, they walked slowly and were always on guard, Heart rates speeding with every corner they took, fingers responding quickly to the smallest sounds. With each step they took they were getting deeper in the cave. Light began to appear in front of them

Three old wizards were hurdling through the forest. They needed to be fast, as they knew Harry and the gang wouldn't wait for them. If they had brooms they could have flown. If Voldemort wasn't able to monitor apparitions, they could have apparated. All they could do was to take the muggle way: run like crazy.

"Come on Remus, they probably entered the cave." The wizard who led the three was Sirius Black, who needs no introduction. Not far behind him, unable to keep up, was his good old friend Remus Lupin. Lupin wanted to help, but his body wasn't fit for running. He was too weak, due to the fact that he was a werewolf, but he was a very strong wizard. In between them was Severus Snape, a former nemesis to them, who was now a formidable ally.

"Look Severus," Sirius wasn't used to call him that; he was once just Snape. "There's no other way, I'll transform into and run ahead."

"You can't help them yourself," he replied.

The three wizards kept running. They knew they couldn't stop, and Sirius knew that Snape was right.

Finally, the three friends reached the end of their journey. They knew that Voldemort was behind the next turn. The light that came out of there was almost blinding. Hermione quickly cast a small spell. She created masks that could help them see through the light.

"Come on in Potter," they heard a low voice coming from the tunnel. "I've been expecting you."

Once again Harry looked at his friends, and once again they nodded in agreement. Harry signaled one with his hands - then two, three, go! They took the turn with their wands aimed forward.

"Kirous" as Hermione shouted they stepped forward and a blue barrier wrapped the three, protecting them from most magical attacks.

Hermione's shield turned out to be a very good idea. Not a millisecond later, fire spread on it as Voldemort tried to take them down with a fireball curse.

He laughed, but with his voice it sounded darker then any curse they had ever heard.

"You think you're lucky Potter," he said with a grin.

"Let's see how strong your barrier is." His grin widened. "Eshregit"

A tiger came out of the dark lord's wand, but it wasn't a normal tiger. It was a being of fire that took the form of a tiger. The tiger attacked the barrier. The barrier was successful at stopping the tiger, at the beginning. However, Hermione knew every attack weakened the barrier, and soon the tiger would break through.

Harry knew Hermione well. He understood, by her expression, that they didn't have much time. Another good thing about the barrier was that it was more like a filter, keeping attacks from coming in, and allowing attacks to get out. Harry knew that and didn't hesitate.

"Expelliarmus" Harry knew all he needed to do was break Voldemort's concentration so that the tiger would disappear, and the old disarming spell did the trick. The dark wizard flew a few meters back and smashed against the wall.

"Strike him now! And strike him hard!" Hermione screamed as she fell to her knees trying to keep the barrier on.

"Ogd-foodenah," out of Ron's wand came a big blue hand, and with astonishing speed it knocked Voldemort back to the wall.

When the hand pulled back Voldemort was no longer there.

"What?" Ron didn't understand what happened but Harry knew he had apparated. Seconds later he formed behind Hermione. She didn't know that apparation could penetrate the barrier. The dark wizard mumbled a few words and a 20cm blade came out of his wand. He stabbed Hermione in the back.

"This might be a muggle way, but it is very affective." He declared as he let Hermione's body fall to the ground, and with her the barrier went down.

"Hermione!" the boys shouted.

"Expelliarmus" Harry wanted to keep Voldemort away from Hermione as Ron ran to her.

"She's alive" Ron said and Harry was relieved. Ron said to Hermione, "You're going to live through it."

"No I won't, but keep on fighting. This is bigger then us." Ron didn't want to leave her there but they both knew he had to.

"Allbrife" Voldemort shot a fireball to Ron's legs. Ron tried to run but was blown away by the blast.

"Ron!" Harry feared that his attack on Voldemort had crumbled and he was left alone. He hoped Sirius, Remus and Snape would come to help him.

"Arghhhhh" Ron groaned as he tried to stand up.

"Keep down Ron," Harry ordered him.

"Barakous," Harry shot lightning from his wand, and his attack met Voldemort's, a fire ray. The two attacks met in between the two and linked them, once again. He who was stronger would win, and the other would be defeated for all time.

The three wizards finally reached the entrance to the cave as they heard a light scream.

"It's Hermione," Remus said as he caught his breath.

"What did she say?" Sirius stood by his friend.

"Strike him now, and strike him hard," Snape gazed into the cave. He continued coldly, "It has begun, we need to get there fast."

Remus and Sirius stood and walked with Snape into the cave.

Harry was close to winning this duel, but while he stood there he lost his two best friends. Both died in agony.

Harry used his last bit of strength and his lightning attack beat Voldemort, who went off in a big explosion.

Harry looked around him, he ran to check on Ron. He thought Ron could still be alive. When he saw Ron was dead he couldn't stop himself from crying. Rage began to take control of him.

He turned to see Hermione. He didn't want to leave her there, when he saw she was dead too he screamed into the air. It wasn't a scream of sadness, it was a scream of rage, pure rage that had taken control of him.

A black cloud appeared in the top of the cave. On a normal day Harry would know that this wasn't right, but this wasn't a normal day, or a normal Harry. He was controlled by fury. Harry tapped into the cloud's power and became stronger - stronger then he ever was, stronger then Voldemort, stronger then Dumbledore, stronger then the world itself.

Harry was not only stronger, he was smarter, he knew things unknown to any wizard or muggle alive: the beginning of man, the beginning of magic, history of before the ages, spells lost for ages and more then anybody can imagine. Harry also changed physically. His hair turned dark black and so did his eyes. His yellow robe turned dark black. However, the most significant change was that he didn't have his scar anymore. He took his wand out. The wand didn't change.

He mumbled a few words and a light ball wrapped him and took him into the air. This was a levitation ball. The spell to conjure the ball was lost before Hogwarts was created. Harry came out of the roof of the cave, into the skies of Britain. He wanted revenge. His new powers are driven on by rage and are made for this one reason - revenge.
