Chapter 44
Meanwhile Voldemort discovers that the basin in the cave is empty. He checks all his other Horcruxes and discovers that they are all gone except for Nagini - he doesn't know that Harry too is a Horcrux - and then he assembles his forces for a final assault upon Hogwarts. His side gains the upper hand, but the prize he really wants has so far eluded him: Harry's death. Snape decides that the time has come to deliver your message to Harry and he offers to bring Harry to Voldemort, but Voldemort has other plans. He orders Nagini to bite Snape, thinking that since he conquered Snape, who conquered you by killing you, the wand will now serve him. Believing that he now has what he needs to defeat Harry, he declares a one-hour truce and calls upon Harry to surrender to him to avoid any further bloodshed.
Harry finds the dying Snape, kills Nagini, takes the memories oozing out every hole in Snape's head, carries them to your Pensieve and learns, among other things, that he must kill himself after killing Voldemort. He confronts Voldemort and gives him a chance to surrender and show remorse, telling him that the wand will not serve him because your real conquerer is not Snape, who killed you on your request, but Draco Malfoy, who disarmed you. Voldemort rejects the chance to surrender and challenges Harry to a duel. He casts the Adava Kedavra Curse, which Harry deflects with the Expelliarmus spell back onto Voldemort, killing him. Then Harry turns his wand on himself and dies. Without their leader, the Death Eaters lose heart, but the good guys too have lost their leader; so they too are disheartened, and although they eventually emerge triumphant they suffer far more casualties than they would have otherwise, including Ron. Hermione goes on to work for the Ministry of Magic, first to better the working condition of House Elves and then to improve the state of Magical Law Enforcement, and Ginny goes on to become a professional Quidditch player, but neither of them is ever truly happy.
