A twist in the tale: The Bella Swan story.

A red-gold glow burst suddenly across the enchanted sky above them, as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. It was the moment of reckoning. The battle of Hogwarts was about to end. Harry potter raised the blackthorn wand, and he saw Voldemort do the same with the elder wand.
That is when it happened.
Bella Swan ran into the Great Hall, a hundred pair of eyes fixed on her.
“Love me. I need you!” she screamed nonsensically in the air, to no one in particular.
Harry looked at her, so did Voldemort. They didn’t know what else to do.
“Are you a Vampire?” she asked loudly, looking at Harry first, then the Dark Lord. Harry shook his head slowly, while Voldemort unconvincingly mumbled up a negative. Bella looked at him suspiciously.
“Aren’t you?” she asked, her eyes small and beady, her eyebrows raised.
Voldemort shifted uncomfortably in his place.
“Your skin’s pale, your eyes are red. And if I look at you from this angle over here, it almost seems as if you are dazzling! Love me, I need you.” she told him, adding the last bit as an afterthought. The audience tittered. Voldemort glared at them, and they immediately stopped.
“I am the dark lord, muggle! Not a lowly vampire!” he screamed, his voice echoing through the ceiling to the forbidden forest beyond.
“Uh-huh. Your breath’s not sweet anyway.” She said, rolling her eyes at him.
Voldemort stared at her pointedly.
“Edward! Where art thou?” she whined, when no one answered, she asked again, “ Edward? Robert? Cedric?”. Somebody in the crowd giggled.
“ He died. Four years ago!” the answer came, a disembodied voice, somewhere from the crowd, and everyone burst out laughing.
Voldemort blushed. He had done the deed after all.
“So. Anyone?” she asked the crowd in general, “Come on, you know you love me. Every guy back home surely did. Human. Vampire. Werewolf. I thought I’ll add Wizard to the kitty too!” she grinned, but nobody laughed.
Harry tapped his feet irritably on the floor while Voldemort checked his breath.
“Love me. I need you.” She repeated, whining like a bawling child.
Harry and Voldemort were both getting annoyed. Then, a that point, they knew what had to be done.The light hit their faces at the same time, so that Voldemort’s was suddenly a flaming blur. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his both hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand:
“Avada Kedavara!”
“Expelliarmus!”
The bang was like a cannon-blast and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead centre of the circle they had been treading, marked the points where the spells collided.
Which was sadly, the place where Bella Swan stood.
Bella swan fell to the ground, as everyone in the crowd cheered and clapped for their two heroes. The battle of Hogwarts would be fought later, for now, The greater evil had been destroyed. :P

For all you Harry Potter fans, this is my tribute to you.
For all you twilight fans, eat shit. :D
