Author: Batsutousai
Rating: PG-13 - R-ish
Warnings: Character death, a bit of talk about blood and other kinda nasty things
Word Count: 216
Disclaim Her: You know the drill.

A/N: Discussing view points in English and this little shit bit me. I finished it in Psych while we were discussing drugs. That should give you a couple ideas of what was running through my head while I wrote this.





You stand there in the middle of the field of blood. You're covered in blood too. Your own, and others'. As red as your eyes. As red as your enemy's house.

And he stands there before you, mocking you. He's glaring - hurt. You've managed to kill everyone he cares about, and yet he survives. The last resistance.

He's managed to slip through this world of blood and guts and curses and pain and death relatively unscathed. He's no longer innocent - that child who defeated you the first time - but he's clean. Untorn robes and unbloodied hands.

And the battlefield seems to fall into silence around you. Your world narrows until it's just you and him. Dark Lord and Saviour. Devil and Angel.

And you both raise your wands - new ones that wouldn’t clash like your original ones - and cast the same curse.

And your curse hits its mark while his puffs from sight. You knew he didn't have the heart to kill anything, anyone.

And you've found that you've won and the battle's still going on around you.

And your reason for going on is gone. Your enemies are losing and you find yourself alone like so many time before and so many times that are sure to come.

Now what?

Hey Vols, necrophilia is an option; preferably while the body is still warm.

LOVE.
it's so true. that is the only reason why i don't want voldemort to win the war. he would be alone. the two people that could actually stand up to him would be gone.

beautifully written, bats. < 3

*Blinks* That was random. But I liked it... People don't really like doing the whole dead!Harry thing and it was interesting to see your perspective on it. Yay for even tiny updates to keep me going through the week... must sleep soon as have not been to bed before 11.30 to get up at 7 in a week *headdesk*...
Hugs,
Floss

Kitty, this has no connection to drugs unless you're thinking of making the two screw each other while one's death. That'll be a lovely image for the class to embrace, huh?

You o.k.? I know things are going on with your sister and all but ... worried. ._.

Hugs.

Different viewpoints indeed.

Is it very wrong of me that I feel wretched for Voldemort?

This piece is incredible. ♥

One part of me wants to scream "Tom/Harry! Why didn't you two fall in love while you had the chance?!" Where the other more sensible part just adores this piece, because, omg. It's just... *fails* No words. It's beautiful. Beautiful in a very depressing way.

Pretty good. Vivid imagery, fitting metaphores, rather the scene we're expecting for a Final Battle. Although the rhythm of the ending felt a bit off... Maybe it's just me, but it sounded more angry than lost. Unless that's what you wanted of course. (Call me picky, but I think irritation would fit better than anger, only I don't really have a clue how one would go about writing that.)

Somehow I don't think Harry is going to use the killing curse in the book. It would not be very educational.

*falls over laughing*

OMG! Icon!! *falls over again*

[batsutousai]

*bows* Thank you, and I'm glad you liked. ^.~

[batsutousai]

*pats* Take some NyQuil. It's sure to put you to sleep, even if you don't really need it. <- Secret of the trade

[batsutousai]

*sniggers* Well, part of the discussion included how some drugs, if mixed together, could kill you... *innocent look*

*hugs back* The Kitty is doing mucho fine. A little more psycotic than usual, but still fine. ^.^

*sniggers*

[batsutousai]

LOL. No, not really.

*grins* Thank you, m'dear.

^.~ Glad you liked. And I can't write everything as Tom/Harry. I'd never get a novel published.

[batsutousai]

*shrugs* If you look at the paper I wrote it on, you'll see I used two different inks. There was about a day and a half break in the end somewhere. Kinda threw it all off, sadly. *le sigh*

[batsutousai]

True. Though, I dunno... He has to kill him somehow, and he's already used one Unforgivable... *shrugs*

[vihm.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, the best moral would be for Harry love Voldy to death and Snape atone for his sins and live happily ever after. Can't see Rowling doing that, especially as she has already mentioned that this story is not children's story.

[lady-kareth.livejournal.com]

That icon has nothing on this.

It's crazy LeIk wH04!!1oneoneeight

[batsutousai]

*falls over laughing again* That's great!!

[batsutousai]

Pity. I kinda wanted to see Voldemort/Harry be IC. *pouts*

[vihm.livejournal.com]

You understand, don't you? If it were a children's story, it would be Voldemort/Harry. But as all grown ups are already conditioned...

[eaivalefay.livejournal.com]

Well, you could write everything as Tom/Harry... If the publishers didn't accept that fact then we would just have to start our own publishing company. But then I'd love to see some of your original work, so I suppose I will have to stop my T/H advocating on some occasions.

[batsutousai]

*sniggers* I have been known to put my original crap up here, ya know... XP
Hn. Own publishing company? That has promises.... XD

[batsutousai]

Aye. Tis a sad world we live in.
And, anyway, if it were a children's story, either Voldemort or Harry would have to be a gal if they was gonna get together. Damned majorly Christian world.

*stares* Where?! HOW did I miss that? *mind is going blank* *facepalm*
It does, doesn't it? *bounces excitedly*
