"Quick!" Harry yelled across the grounds at everyone he passed. Blood was running down his face, a gift from Malfoy before he was killed by a spell from Hermione. Wiping it away, he continued his instructions. "Everyone find any survivors you can. If you can mend their injuries, then do so. There is a limited space in the Hospital wing, so only send those in desperate need of care."

He was walking by many people on the ground with mostly minor injuries, not really seeing their faces.

Please no. Please God no. Let me find her.

They hadn't expected this. The attack wasn't supposed to be this soon. They had no warning at all. Classes had just ended for the day and Harry, Ron and Hermione were in their Common Room working on an essay for McGonagall. Ginny had retired to the library to look up an ingredient she had to report on for her next potions class. All was as usual when a shout came from the grounds.

Hagrid was yelling.

The three didn't even look at each other as they threw their stuff aside and ran through the portrait hole. They met Tonks in the hall on their way out. Using eye contact, Harry and Tonks came to a mutual agreement on what to do. Tonks left through one of the side doors leading towards the Green Houses while Harry went with Ron and Hermione through the front.

It was Malfoy leading close to 100 hooded figures that Harry recognized at once.

Hagrids cabin was on fire; Fang was seen running before he disappeared into the forest.

"Surprised to see me Potter?" Malfoy yelled. He was dressed in a long black cloak that had a ripe at the top with a shiny liquid oozing out. Harry guessed Voldemort wasn't too happy with him after Dumbledore was killed, seeing as he had set the task to Draco, not Snape. "Where's the troop? I figured you would have at least been prepared for an ambush. Then again, you never were the brightest thing."

At that moment, around 30 Order members came marching from behind the school, all led by Tonks.

"Is that all?" laughed Malfoy. "You really are pathetic Potter. You will go down and the Dark Lord will finally see me as the hero I am instead of my stupid father's blood." Malfoy paused as a loud thud came from the entrance hall from the school.

Harry grinned. "Prepare yourself Malfoy. There is an entire school longing to see you and your filthy master destroyed. Scared? You should be!" Spells flew through the air from every which way, all aimed at a target. Harry watched in amazement as students and teachers, filling out of the school, were knocked to the ground only to stand back up and hit their victim with a counter-curse. They had the advantage but blood was shed from both sides. This was going to be a tragic battle even if they did have more men.

There she was, lying on the ground and to Harry's horror, not moving. He ran to her side and cradled her in his arms.

"Ginny, wake up. Wake up." He got a feeling he knew only too well from when he had found Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets. "Please don't be dead." Harry's eyes started to water when a shuddering breath broke his tears.

"W-Who are you?

Harry looked down to see a groggy Ginny squinting up at his worried face. "Oh my God, Ginny. I thought….I didn't know….I..," Harry hadn't warned Ginny about Malfoy in his rush to get to the yelling Hagrid. Then he realized something. "What do you mean 'Who am I'? Ginny, it's me, Harry."

"I don't remember…." Ginny's head collapsed on Harry's arm as she passed out again.

This can't be happening. Harry picked up the unconscious Ginny. He felt a large bump on the back of her head and when he looked at his fingers, he found it wet with blood. He ran her to Ron who was near by, healing a slightly injured Luna. Luna had fought well. Harry had witnessed her hex a Death Eater with a spell Harry had never heard of before.

"Ron, Ginny needs help; she didn't remember me when she was conscious just a minute ago. I think she hit her head." Ron's face turned white and his eyes widened as he took Ginny's dead weight out of Harry's hands. "Run her to the Hospital Wing. She needs some medicine and a bandage for her head. I need to stay here and help heal. You stay with her. If she wakes up, tell her I will be there as soon as I can." If she even remembers me.

Ron finally looked up at Harry. "Of course. Could you find Hermione? I haven't seen her anywhere and I am really worried. I've tried to look for her but there were people to be healed. I know she's smart but…" Ron turned an even paler color as he turned to leave.

"Ron, I'll find her. She will be fine. Don't worry.

Harry watched as Ron ran Ginny towards the front door towards the castle. He turned around and took in his surroundings of sick helping the sicker. His eyes scanned the grounds for Hermione. She was over by a girl with short brown hair, mending a broken wrist with her wand. She looked up and gave Harry a reassuring look and turn to help a boy not too far from her with a large gash on his leg. Harry sighed in relief. If Ginny came around, maybe things would be ok. If Ginny didn't come around……?

Come on Ginny. You have to pull through this. You have to. I love you too much for you not to...
