It's not Ginny, she is not Ginny, Harry willed himself to think; yet even as he thought it he knew that the dying girl lying in front of him was Ginevra Weasley. Her hair hung lank and damp across her shoulders. Her skin is pale, Harry thought with a shudder.
What scared him the most though was the wound on her chest, a giant gapping hole, her robes were stained with blood and the only noise heard in the quietness was Ginny attempting to suck air into her lungs.
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night
is falling
You have come to journey's end
It hit Harry at that moment where Ginny was going, she was going to be gone from this world, off to some distant place with his father and mother, Dumbledore, Sirius, and everyone else he had ever cared for.
The sun was setting, casting an amber glow across Ginny's body, "Harry…" She murmured her eyes flickering open.
"Yes Ginny?" Harry asked praying she would to spring to her feet and announce that it had all been a joke.
"I don't want to die."
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came
before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Tears then began to flow. Ginny's eyes were no longer the energetic sparkling brown they had once been but now looked tired, dull, and sleepy.
"I've always liked you, you know," Ginny finally said in a raspy voice, "I never gave up on you."
Harry blinked hard trying to fight back the tears, she was only 17…she was far to young to die.
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon
your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Harry carefully wiped a tear out of Ginny's eye, "Please don't cry…" He pleaded, "Please…"
"You need to be strong, Harry," the redhead sighed, "Please be strong for me…"
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
Harry sat down next to Ginny, "Ron will be here soon," he whispered, "He ran to get help, we need help."
"Harry," Ginny said with a slightly biter smile, "I'm not going to be around long enough to get help…just promise me one thing…"
Harry held his breath waiting.
"Don't forget me," She breathed.
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do
the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
"I could never forget you Gin," Harry said softly, cradling her limp figure, "I could never, ever, forget you."
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A
light on the water
All souls pass
With that Ginny gently closed her eyes and her breathing became gentler, "I'm just sleeping…" she sighed. "Wake me up when they get here…"
Feeling a sinking feeling in his stomach Harry shook her, "Ginny…no don't fall asleep, Ginny, Ginny!"
Hope fades
Until the world of night
Through shadows' falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You
and I will meet again
There was a rustling of bushes and Ron emerged, Madam Pomfrey following behind him.
"Okay where is she?" Madam Pomfrey asked gazing around the field.
"She's gone," Harry said quietly, "Gone."
Ron's eyes filled with tears as he looked down at the body of the youngest Weasley.
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls
call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have
come to carry you home
"Goodbye Ginny," Harry whispered, "I love you…"
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light
on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
