He ran. He ran and he ran and he ran. He felt as if his chest would burst. But he kept on running. The thought that motivated him: Ginny.

He had heard Ron's bellow of agony. He knew it wasn't him who had died. He wouldn't have had time to react to a killing curse.

Hold your grandmother's bible to your breast

"Please, don't let it be Ginny. Please."

He reached the battleground that was once Hogwarts. And he saw. The devastation. The dead. He searched among those lying motionless and let himself believe that maybe, just maybe, she wasn't dead. That's when he saw her.

He sank to the ground. And sobbed.

"Ah, the great Harry Potter, crying over the death of his loved one."

Lucius Malfoy's snakelike voice reached his ears.

Voldemort looked stunned.

"Potter, what madness has taken you now?"

"I will serve you."

With this he leant down and proffered his arm as he rolled up the sleeve.

"Put your mark my Lord," said Harry

"Very well."

He descended upon him.

Harry gritted his teeth as the pain of the mark began to set in.

And you already know

Yet you already know
How this will end
