Chapter 1

The Battle at Hogwarts

"Some one? Please... I want to help..." pleaded Ginny. She looks over to Harry, "Harry... You know I can do it... You know I can... So why not let me try?" Harry started to think. He knew Ginny could produce excellent hexes, but... she could get hurt… "Ginny. I know you can do it, but…. The thing is…. I, I don't want you to get hurt... Please just... Just stay here. Okay?"... Ginny rolled her eyes and got a little upset. "I am only a year younger than you... You don't have to protect me. I'm old enough and you know that can produce a good hex. I can do it. I can help... I don't need protected very much. Please!"

"Promise me you'll stay here, Ginny. Promise!" said Harry. Ginny was extremely disappointed and was about to protest, but caught a glimpse of the look in Harry's eyes and stopped, "I promise."

"But if anyone comes in here that isn't supposed to, run. Don't fight. Run. Alright?" said Harry with worry overtaking him. "Fine. But I won't like it." Protested Ginny. Harry really just wanted her to be safe. So he turned around and told everyone where to go and fight. Everyone fled to their destination, except Harry. Harry stayed behind to say goodbye to Ginny. He walked back to her. He put his arms around her and hugged her. Suddenly he felt tears running down his face. He said, "I love you, Ginny." She let go of him and kissed him. After a minute she put her head on his shoulder and said, "I love you too, Harry." She was crying too. Harry hugged her tight. But he knew he had to go. So he let go. He couldn't look at Ginny. If he did it would kill him. He walked towards the door; he could hear Ginny crying behind him. Harry left the room. Walking down the hall, he couldn't think of anything but Ginny. Then he found himself running into Ron. Ron told him that it was getting worse and they needed Harry down to help. Soon they were running and started to fight. Fear running through all of Harry's veins, just thinking, "What will happen now? And what is happening to Ginny and everyone else?"

Meanwhile, Ginny was still standing in the exact spot Harry had left her. Worrying in tears. She took out her wand and thought of all the hexes she would use if she needed to. But she couldn't think straight. All that was on her mind was Harry. Suddenly, she heard a noise. Oh no! She thought. She ran to the door and flattened herself against the wall next to it. With her wand at the ready, the door opened. A Death Eater! A random hex shot from Ginny's wand. The Death eater yelped and then flew back. Ginny ran from the room of requirement and sprinted down the stairs to the battle. But there were people blocking her way in the courtyard. She made her way to the front of the crowd and saw Harry on the ground, motionless. "No! Harry!?! No!" A monster grew inside of Ginny. Sadness and Anger bubbled up her stomach. She would kill him. Voldemort was going to pay for this. She couldn't and wouldn't stand for this. She tried to run at the ugly and powerful creature whose name was once Tom Riddle. But Neville held her back. She almost fought him off before tears came streaming out of her. How could this happen? Everything was going finally right for me, No. I can't let this happen. Please... Harry… No… she thought. She tried to get a hold of herself and stop crying, but more and more tears came. Ginny was too upset and did not want to let Harry go. Finally, she got what she had wanted for so long. Harry Potter. But when he started to like her too, this happened. Why? Why him and why me? she thought. Then, everyone started to fight again. Still, Ginny stood there like she didn't care what happened to her. Harry was gone and she could do nothing about it. She wanted to stay there forever, whether she was killed or not. But Neville dragged her away to a corner on the third floor. He told her to run. Or go to the Room of Requirement. Then he ran off to fight more. She sat there for a few minutes, and would've stayed there longer. But she heard noises and fled for a higher floor. Then she saw three people on her way up higher. She saw Percy hovered over Fred's body and Harry next to Percy. What!? Harry?!! She couldn't believe it! She put a huge smile on her face, but then noticed something.

Fred was not moving. "NO!!" Ginny Screamed. Harry looked up and saw Ginny standing there. He yelled, "Ginny, Run!! Now!! Try to get away! NOW!!" Still, Ginny stood there crying. Harry Ran to her and pushed her lightly to a corner. He screamed, "Ginny, I know this is Hard and believe me it's hard for me too!! But right now to avoid you dieing too, I need you to go!! Now!!" She fled from the corner and down to the great hall, running into battles with death eaters and followers of Voldemort. She won each time, but barely made it to the great hall. She saw her mother, father, and classmates fighting the enemy. She saw Bellatrix and ran to fight her. Hermione tried to help Ginny and fought Bellatrix with her. Then a huge green light came crashing toward her. But Ginny was ready. She knew she was going to die. She tried to move and the curse missed her by an inch. A huge relief took over Ginny. But then she found herself being pushed aside by her own mother. Ginny went to fight another battle. Everything was silent to her. She didn't know how long it would take to finish this night. Would she die or survive? What was going to happen to the rest of her family and Harry? She really didn't want anything to happen to Harry. Her heart and mind were racing. Suddenly she was backed against the wall. Everyone had stopped fighting. Was it over?? No. Harry and Voldemort were circling in the center, wands ready to strike its victim. Then nothing. Ginny had been knocked to the floor by a spell. She was unconscious.
