Dark Depths

Harry blames Ginny for a death of a loved one. Fate knocks them off and allows them to live separate lives for four years. Only one problem, they are Miserable. Still guilty of everything that happened in the past and afraid to face the truth. Can Love withstand anger? Can they get out of their dark depths?

Author's note:

I thought of the storyline for months. It's bizarre! Hahaha! Hope you like it. This story draws the line between Love and Anger.

Prologue

Love is not enough,

It cannot change my fate

Nor alter my life.

It cannot bring back what I lost.

I will never be the same again.

I will be stuck in this dark depth.

Harry's 6th year

Christmas Day

Harry,

Christmas in the Burrow is a blast! Literally.. Fred & George used Fireworks during the dinner! Inside our house! We were all stunned, but Mom was outrageous! Thinking about it- I guess, this is the best Christmas dinner. Everyone is here, Even Bill and Charlie! I know your happy with Cho, celebrating Christmas in Hogwarts with her might be better than fireworks in our dinner table. Happy Christmas Harry. I'm glad you're finally happy.

Your best friend,

Ginny

(Don't let Ron & Hermione read this! Or the great debate on "who is Harry Potter's best friend" will come up- again.)

Harry smiled at himself. Closed the letter and looked outside the window, It was snowing and there he was in the common room. Stacks of presents in the table, usual bunch of chocolates from Ron a journal from Hermione

So you will not miss any of your homework! Happy Christmas harry.

Hermione.

Lupin and Tonks gave him a cool gadget, more like a laptop in the muggle world. But this one is different, He couldn't help but smile when he saw that they are giving gifts as a pair

Love, Tonks & Lupin.

He suddenly had the unusual urge to hold on to a necklace he was wearing. A silver one, with a pendant that resembles a bottle given by Cho Chang months ago. He never thought that they could actually be together as a couple. Which reminds him..

After you open your presents, meet me at the great hall right?

Harry wore his red sweater and looked at his face in the mirror.

I may not be that good-looking, but I doubt they can handle facing voldemort!

Harry breathed and went out the Gryffindor common room. The great hall was amazing, he sat beside Cho. They talked for a while until their conversation lost track.

"And she told me about her dinner! They had fireworks in the dinner table!"

Harry talked enthusiastically to Cho. You wouldn't even think that this boy already faced the Dark Lord 5 times already. That he was the boy in the prophecy and that he almost lost everything.

"Really? Those twins are really talented." Cho smiled back.

"Yeah- Mrs.Weasley doesn't approve though. And in the last part she told me not to let Hermione and Ron read her letter." Harry said between chewing.

"Why is that?" Cho asked as she finished her meal.

"She placed best friend. And you know, Ron & Hermione like to discuss who my 'best' friend really is. Although I don't get it at all."

"Your lucky to have them."

"I know- why?"

Harry suddenly noticed the look in Cho's eyes. It was worried and had a little bit of happiness in it.

"Nothing" Cho replied, turning away.

"No- tell me. We have the whole night."

"It's just that, when you talk about her-"

Harry looked at her, still not getting the point.

"When you talk about your best friend."

"Oh- I get it. I thought the Hermione and me thing was over last year? She's dating Ron now."

"It's not Hermione!" Cho said, biting her lips so she won't cry.

"If we're talking about ginny, It's stupid." Harry replied not understanding why he suddenly felt a wash of guilt. He Loved Cho, he just had fun with Ginny. Who wouldn't?

"When you talk about her- It's as if your talking about this magical place that you've never been before. Your eyes are sparkling! When you're talking to each other It's- it's just different!" She couldn't hold it in anymore, a tear slid in her cheeks.

"Look." Harry moved closer, but Cho held on to the necklace she gave her.

"Do you really Love me?"

"Yes." Harry replied sincerely. He was what he wanted right?

She smiled back and wiped her tears then stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to write to my parents! They will be worried sick."

"Oh- I have to write them too right?" Harry stood up also.

"That's very sweet of you." Cho kissed his cheek and walked away, leaving his stomach doing a back flip.

Harry Loves her.

January

Room of Requirement

"Hey!" Harry called out to ginny who was still fascinated. The room turned it self to a muggle carnival. Harry did it for ginny, she always wanted to be in one.

"Ginny, lets go." Harry held her hand, but ginny resisted.

"Go? Harry! Lets try the rides! I bet their wonderful!" Ginny led harry to a horror house.

"Ginny. I promised that you will just see one."

"When did you start to sound like a prefect?" Ginny smiled at him.

"Uh- My girlfriend is a head girl?" Harry replied.

The words washed ginny like a cold shower. Yeah, his girlfriend is Cho chang. She averted her gaze and tried hard to hide the sadness in her eyes.

"And Ron & Hermione are Prefects." Ginny added and let go of harry's hands.

"You're the only one that's not a goody-goody." Harry joked as they walked out the room of requirement.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ginny turned to Harry. Only inches away from each other, They could hear their breathing. Harry moved closer then he regained his senses to actually turn away.

He really loves her, I am stupid to even think that he'll kiss me. You lost ginny Weasley. You are selfish stop it.

"Uh- Good night Gin." Harry finally said when they reached the common room.

Ginny Weasley lay on her four poster bed. Finally admitting that she was being the stupid girl again. For Merlin's sake! She was the most attractive girl in school Her fellow gryffindors told her and why did she have to hope? It's over. You're his friend. Nothing more and nothing Less.

Miles away in a deserted place, a barren house. A man hissed at a girl and showed her a picture that made the girl cry.

"Don't get to emotional on me Chang!" Lord Voldemort shouted.

"Did you do what I told you?"

"Yes My Lord, I gave him the necklace and you are right." Cho straightened up. Fighting the fear that was creeping down her spine.

"Good- Good, so the boy loves you now?"

"Yes but-"

"But what?"

"He- she- there is this girl that I think harry's fond of and-"

"You should not care about any girl that he's fond of! As long as he has that necklace, HE loves you. HE will do everything for you!"

Voldemort stood up for a moment, and weakness overcame him again. He was not yet that strong.

"I- I understand my Lord."

"Be sure to keep him tomorrow night."

"Why?"

"We will attack Hogwarts!" Cho dropped the cloak she was holding and all she could hear was Voldemort's piercing laughter.

Next Day, Evening

Somewhere in the castle grounds

"Cho?" Ginny finally asked her. She was quite surprised that Cho invited her for walk. Maybe she wanted to ask things about harry.

"Look," she began finally stopping and facing ginny. "I'm sorry for whatever I've done."

"Cho. I don't understand."

Does she know that I love harry?

"Sorry for taking harry away from you."

Shit! How the hell did she know! Was I that obvious!

"Cho, Harry Loves you. You are meant for each other and I guess you should not be sorry for being happy."

Did I just say that? I swear am getting better in this lying business.

"If you only knew ginny."

She was about to answer back when they heard screams, they looked in horror at the dark mark in the tower. They both ran towards the castle battling wizards here and there. Cho quickly rushed to the gryffindor portrait hole, harry was just coming out but cho pushed him inside.

"What the!" Harry looked bewildered.

"Harry- I need to tell you something."

"Cho- whatever this is. It could wait. Hogwarts is being attacked!" Harry pushed her gently but she resisted and kneeled before harry.

"What- what are you doing? Get up."

"No- I won't!"

She taught for a second and embraced harry, only to remove the necklace but before she could remove it she remembered the voice

Don't do anything stupid. They will die and I will not summon him.

"Cho?" Harry whispered as he let go.

"I love you- honestly." Cho said

But harry didn't hear it anymore he went out. Spells were cast here and there. He didn't have time to think anymore, he hit anyone that looked like their opponent. He finally reached the outside of the castle. And it happened there. A scene that haunted him forever, something that changed his life and ginny as well.

"You won't live little witch!" Bellatrix Lestrange pointed her wand at Ginny.

She was caught off guard.

I'm gonna die! Shit! I will surely die now.. what- the!

At the same time as Bellatrix cast the Avada Kedavra spell, out of nowhere Cho appeared and pushed ginny away. Hitting her squarely. It was like those fast moments- A second, ginny was sure she was dying but another second Cho comes out and dies instead. But there was one person who saw it all, harry was in his knees as the Death eaters fled living him alone.

Finally- I lost everything.

Author's note

I changed what happened to Harry's 6th year. Instead of falling for ginny, she continued with Cho. I added twists here and there. This practically started everything. This chapter is the cause of what happened to their lives later on. )
