Chapter One - The Attack
Everything went silent.
Everything was still.
"Hermi-"
"Shush Ron," they were both there, Hermione and Ron. Only moments before they were relaxing in the chilly April sunset. Now they were sitting, together, under Harry's invisibility cloak as they were surrounded by Death Eaters.
"Lucious, I believe you haven't done as Lord Voldermort?" Lord Voldermort looked as powerful as ever, his red slits for eyes were glowing as he paced slowly around the figure of Lucious Malfoy.
"Lord I-"
"Guys I found her, I found G-" Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it towards Voldermort, who only weeks earlier had ordered for Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore to be killed.
"Hahahahahaha, Potter I wondered when I'd next be seeing you, my radar doesn't seem to be working anymore, I suppose Dumbledore taught you how to 'close your mind'?" Voldermort sneered and again his eyes seemed to glow.
"No, Tom, it was not Dumbledore," Harry paused for a moment, every time he mentioned Sirius, Dumbledore or his parents name it stung his insides as if his intestines were being twisted, "it was your 'faithful follower' Snape who taught me Occulemency."
"Taught you? Potter, you couldn't be taught Potions never mind Occulemency, all your achievements are all based on luck." spat Severus, Dumbledore's murder, who ironically Dumbledore trusted. Just shows you even great sorcerers can be wrong.
"Excuse me, Half Blood Prince but you did teach me potions, remember?" Harry looked into Ron's eyes and smirked right before saying,
"DENSUAGO!" well, Harry could've just killed Voldermort then but he knew that would be pointless when he still had a number of Horcruxes saving him. Voldermort's teeth started to grow so huge he couldn't speak but Harry and Hermione knew this wouldn't stop him, wizards like Voldermort could easily say spells in his head.
"FINATE INCANTARTUM!" Hermione jumped up from under the invisibility cloak and started to run, she knew this had stopped him, for now. Ron, Ginny and Harry followed her, then unexpectedly Ginny stopped and turned around.
"LOCOMORTOR MORTIS!" shouted Ginny while Harry, Hermione and Ron laughed as all the Death Eaters' (and Voldermort's) legs froze, and they all fell over.
"Ginny, you are brilliant." said Harry, who was still running alongside them all.
Only once they got to the Burrow, did they stop. Ron scooped Hermione up in his arms and kissed her. It was not their first kiss but it was their most intense one. Feeling awkward about watching his two best friends kiss he turned to Ginny.
"Gi-" he didn't even have to say anything, she just did it, it was as if she'd read his mind, she kissed him. As this was happening Harry was watching what seemed like a home video in his mind, from the first time he met Ginny, to the time he saved her from Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets, then to laughing together at the Quiddich World Cup, and teaching her how to cast a patronus charm and many other spells, including Locomortor Mortis which Ginny had used to defend them all against Lord Voldermort and the Death Eaters only minutes earlier. Then he thought about last year, at the Quiddich celebration party where they shared their first kiss.
After what seemed like hours of kissing Harry, Ginny pulled away.
"It was never like that with Dean." she said, sounding pretty out of breath. Ginny hugged him then took his hand and lead Harry into the kitchen. Ron and Hermione followed, neither couple imagined what was waiting for them...
