If you were here now

Why did you just walk away from me little Ginny? What was it about me that made you change? I do not understand, but you are not here to explain.

Then I would tell you that this is not the way

I need time to think. This is the place, the only place, where I can do that.

Then I would force you

Thinking about the way you struggled against my will. Thinking about the way you told me I could not win. And you were right.

To make your choices and get out of my way

You were right about everything. I did not win. You didn't trust me, you hated me. I loved you and hated you.

Just scream

I loved the way you seemed so innocent. I loved to treat you like one of the princesses from fairytales. However, the real you was quite different.

But there's no one there

You were somebody who hated the world. Who grew up thinking every minute of the day that she was different from everybody else. And so you were.

To hear or hold your hand

Little Virginia Weasley, model daughter, was no more. There was only Ginny, the sarcastic bitch, left.

I'd rather talk to you

It's my entire fault, you know. I shouldn't have tried to control your mind; I shouldn't have taken you over. I was the reason that you were the way that you were. I was the constant factor in your life that you could not get rid of.

Than leave it all unsaid

You hated me for it, didn't you? You didn't like the way I seemed to know everything about you. This destroyed you.

Don't run away now it's not my choice

I hate myself for it. I hate myself for what I have done to you. If anyone saw me here, a hooded figure talking to a grave, he would think that I was mad.

Don't try to make it feel that way

And so I am. I am mad. I have done some terrible things before, like killing Lily Evans, but never like this. I loved you, but I destroyed it.

Hey, if you think I don't mean well

I killed you. Eventually I have to pay for that. Potter and his friends are still alive, and they won't rest until they find me. I want them to find me. I don't want to live anymore.

Then I can't help you further no

I ask you, Ginny, to forgive me. I know it is not in your power to talk to me, but I will know if you want to forgive me for what I have done. I will feel it. Maybe it will be of support as I go to my last battle.

Just scream

As I walk away from your resting place, I let a single white rose fall there. It will be a symbol of my love for you.

But there's no one there

If somebody ever finds it, they will think of you. Even if they didn't know you, they will know that you were loved deeply. I hope you understand this.

To hear or hold your hand

There is one other thing I would like you to have. The rosary I got from my friend for my birthday. It will help you.

I'd rather talk to you

It always helped me. I walk out of the gate, deep in thought. I can only hope that you hear my call to you as I die.

Than leave it all unsaid

The next morning Harry and Hermione came to Ginny's grave. Voldemort had fallen, to the ruin of all those with him. And they both gazed in wonder at the rose, fully in bloom. The rosary lay abandoned at the front gate. Silent tears streamed down their faces as they went away.

He was forgiven.
