The Calling
Flowing into springtime
Melting into fall
Nothing is what it seems
So listen for my call.
Ginny sat outside, within the protections, but still on the grass. It had been months since she had heard from the "golden trio"; she missed
confiding in Hermione, kissing Harry, and yelling at Ron. She hated to be left behind, but new it was for the best. She knew the final battle
would be soon, and was just waiting for the patronus from the Order telling her the same.
Shadows in the corners
Voices in the hall
Nothing left to protect
Nowhere safe at all.
They were being forced to leave the Burrow. Tonight was their last night. She heard her family downstairs yelling, but she knew that home
wasn't safe anymore. Nowhere was. At least at Aunt Muriel's she didn't have to cower in darkness anymore. She stared at the corner, where
her trunk was packed full. She chose only the important things- a few pictures, some clothes- and would have to leave the majority of her
things behind.
Flowers in the meadow
Laughter on the breeze
Everything's deceiving you
So get down on your knees.
Ginny wasn't particularly religious, but during times like these, a few prayers helped everything seem better. Or so she told herself. Aunt
Muriel's house had a tiny meadow behind it, where muggle children play. Ginny couldn't bear to watch them, because they would probably
be dead soon, thanks to him. The poor kids don't know that these could be their final happy days.
Running through the courtyard
Find a place to hide
You have a chance, just keep going
Stopping means you've died.
The call came, or so it seemed. Bill and Charlie went to see if it was a true summoning, or a ploy. Ginny snuck along, too, sick of captivity.
Just as they got to where Harry supposidly was, black figures wafted in. Grasping her wand, she shot a few spells and took off running. She
would run until she could stop to apparate, until she was safe. She just didn't know when that would be. But she couldn't stop early, it would
certainly be her death.
Dancing in the ballroom
Smiles leering of their faces
Save yourself, pick your poison-
Axes, swords and maces.
The battle was here, the final battle. The place was so chaotic, in such an uproar, that it seemed as though the battle was an intricate dance,
not a fight to the death. Dashing through the throngs of fighters, she made it to where she had last seen Harry. She heard a cry, and jolted
around- one of her brothers needed help. Picking a sword off a fallen suit of armor, she rushed to his side.
Freezing into summer
Shattered into fall
Nothing was what it seemed
You didn't heed my call.
She did it- George was safe. She was exhausted, and a beautiful purple light shot at her. 'Well,' she thought, 'at least Harry and my family
are safe.'
And she slipped into the blackness.
