The hour Voldemort has given Harry is nearly up, and it appears that Harry Potter will not appear. As he nears Voldemort's camp, Yaxley and Dolohov think they hear something, but suspect it is probably an animal. Harry makes his way through the thick, tangled woods, unaware just where he is heading: the spirits, remaining close to his side, appear to guide him. Harry is able to force himself to go on only because the spirits remain with him. Sirius also assures him that they will be invisible to Voldemort, since their memories are part of Harry. All four promise to stay with Harry and protect him as he passes through the Dementors, acting as Patronuses. Although Remus regrets that he cannot be there for his son, he is also glad that Teddy will grow up in a better world that his father's death helped to make possible, and he hopes that Teddy will understand why his father died when he is told. Harry tells Remus that he is sorry that he had to die so soon after his son's birth. Harry asks if dying hurts, but Sirius says it is painless and easier than falling asleep. His mother and father speak to Harry, telling him how proud they are of his bravery, and their presence is a comfort as he prepares to die. Lupin and Sirius both appear younger and each looks happy. All seem ghostly but are more solid-looking than just spirits. He turns the stone three times and the shades of James, Lily, Lupin, and Sirius appear. Pressing the Snitch to his lips, he whispers, "I am about to die." The Snitch breaks open and reveals the Peverell ring, which Harry realizes holds the cracked Resurrection Stone. Remembering its inscription, "I open at the close," he realizes it refers to death. Noticing Ginny helping a fallen girl along the way, he is tempted to stop and speak with her, but knowing it would be impossible for him to continue if he did, he goes on, past Hagrid's hut and to the Forest.ĭementors gliding around the forest's edge block Harry's path, and he lacks the strength to conjure another Patronus. Neville says he will, and Harry puts the cloak back on and proceeds to the Forbidden Forest. He says that Ron and Hermione also know, but if for some reason they are unable to, then Neville must kill Nagini. Harry tells Neville that Nagini must be killed to defeat Voldemort. Harry follows and reveals himself to Neville.
Oliver says he can handle this on his own, and Neville returns to the grounds to search for more casualties.
They are carrying Colin Creevey's body into the castle. Under his Invisibility Cloak, he proceeds to the Entrance Hall, almost bumping into Neville, who is returning from the grounds with Oliver Wood. Sprawled on the Headmaster's office floor, Harry now understands that Snape was in fact on his side all along, as well as his own destiny. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
