《Emerald》81

Neville Longbottom limped out from the crowd, with the sorting hat in hand.
Not Neville.
"And who are you?" Voldemort asked him.
Neville looked up at Voldemort.
"Neville Longbottom." He spoke quickly.
Voldemorts army let out another echoed laugh.
"Well... I guess we can find somewhere in our ranks for you.... Neville." Voldemort chuckled.
"I-I would like to say something." Neville announced.
Voldemort bit his tongue, and clenched his fist for a moment.
"Yes, I think everyone wants to hear what you have to say." Voldemort replied.
"Doesn’t matter that Harry’s gone." Neville said.
"Pipe down!" Seamus yelled at Neville.
"People die everyday—friends..family. Yeah, we lost Harry tonight. But he’s still with us…in here. So is Fred, Remus, Tonks…all of them." Neville's eyes seemed to darken the more he looked at Voldemort.
This was the first time I had ever seen Neville angry.
It was actually quite scary.
"They didn’t die in vain! But you will! Cause you’re wrong! Harry’s heart did beat for us! For all of us! It’s not over!" Neville hollered, as he pulled the sword of gryffindor out of the sorting hat.
Harry jumped up from Hagrid's arms.
Everyone gasped.
Harry pulled Draco's wand out of his pocket, and fired at the snake.
"No!" Voldemort yelled.
The spell did nothing to the snake.
Harry ran across the rubble, as Voldemort fired at him.
The deatheaters, one by one began shooting up into black clouds of smoke, up into the sky.
I locked eyes with Draco's father.
Something raged inside of me.
I ran up to him.
I didn't have my wand, so with the only option I had.... I pulled my hand into a fist, and winded my arm back.
I showed Lucius the muggle power of a right hook.

As my fist landed across his face, he knocked back, before flying up into the sky with the others.
Voldemort and Nagini, followed as well.
As I turned and began running towards the castle, an arm grabbed me.
Draco pulled me back toward him.
"Here! Take it!" Draco shoved his mother's wand into my hand.
"But... then you have nothing!" I yelled trying to give it back.
"It's for the best, dear." Narcissa spoke directly to me.
I looked up to her, as she gave me a week smile.
"Now, come on, Draco." She turned to him.
Draco looked at me, then back at his mother.
Narcissa blinked slowly.
"Be safe, my boy." She kissed Draco's forehead, before she flew up into the sky.
Draco ran, pulling me by the wrist into the castle.
"We've got to kill the snake, that's the last one!" Harry yelled.
There were people running in all directions.
"Everyone spread out and look!" Ron yelled.
Harry ran down one hall, Hermione and Ron ran down another.
I turned toward Draco.
"Come on, we've got to look!" I told him.
Draco took me by the hand, as we ran around the school.
We ran around for what seemed like forever, until we heard Hermione let out a terrifying scream.
Hermione and Ron were cornered by the snake.
Harry came running from the hall across from us.
I tried casting at the snake, but every spell bounced off its skin.
The snake opened is mouth wide.
Before it could attack, Neville jumped in.
He sung the sword of gryffindor, cutting Nagini's head clean off her body.
That was the last Horcrux.
"Now for him!" Harry yelled, before running off.
Nagini's body turned to ash, and blew away into the air.

We were all too stunned to speak.
Neville quickly turned, and ran away.
"Who's that?" Draco asked, pointing out and into the distance.
Through a hole in the wall, you could see Harry and Voldemort at the edge of one of the tall towers.
Harry grabbing Voldemort, and jumped off the edge.
"No!" Hermione cried.
"Shit!" I screamed.
"Let's go!" Ron yelled, grabbing here by the hand, and pulling her along.
Draco grabbed me by my hand again, and followed Ron's lead.
We weaved through everyone, making it outside the castle.
We ran to were we had seen Harry fall.
There we saw Harry cast one more spell, which turned Voldemort to dust.
We had won.
Harry had defeated Voldemort once and for all.
We all ran up to Harry, and hugged him.
It was over now.
We all pulled away.
Harry walked over, and picked the elder wand off of the ground.
"I suppose this is mine, now." Harry shrugged.
"What are you going to do with it?" Ron asked him.
Harry examined the wand. He stared at it long, and hard.
He took it between his hands, and broke it in pieces, before throwing it off into the distance.
"Oh, look what I had found." Hermione said, digging into her pocket.
She pulled out my wand, and handed it back to me.
I turned to Draco, and handed his mother's wand back to him.
Harry looked at the wand he had in his own hands, which was Draco's.
"Keep it, Harry." Draco smiled at him.
"Thanks, Draco." Harry smiled.
Draco put his arm around my waist, and pulled me a few feet aside.
Draco turned me towards him.
"Would you be mad if I actually did read the note?" Draco smiled, as he spoke.
Embarrassment filled my body, as I looked down at my feet.
"I can't believe you did that!" I scolded Draco.
I felt like I could throw up.
"Now, let me tell you something..." Draco spoke loudly.
Hermione, Ron and Harry, all turned towards us.
Draco placed his hand under my chin, lifting my face to look at his.
"I have loved you ever since I had met you. Anytime I was by you, or even thought about you, I would get anxious. Then, I would get mean, and I didn't mean to take it out on you. I didn't know what I was feeling, or how to express it. I promised you I would protect you, and find you in the very end. Now, I have a new promise for you. I promise to love you, forever and always." Draco's voice was soft and sweet.
He didn't care who was there, neither did I.
"I promise." I replied.
"I promise." Draco smiled.
I looked into his eyes, and there wasn't a single speck of gray.
Draco's eyes were completely blue.
"Now, are you gonna keep staring at me... or are you gonna kiss me?" I chuckled.
Draco placed his hands quickly at the sides of my face, and kissed me.
This kiss felt like the first time I had ever kissed Draco.
And from that moment on, there was no more hiding Draco and I.
We were finally free.
"What's going on?" Ron asked Hermione.
"They're both stubborn, it's complicated." Hermione laughed.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
