-1Looking at the sky, his heart collapsed into his rib cage. What would happen to him, to Ginny? Was this some kind of warning? This could not be the end of him, of everything he had made. His breathing harder, his heart pumped quicker, his guilt overwhelmed him.

'The Dark Lord is back ...' Malfoy said weakly, though his shock. Crowds of people emerged, Muggles and Wizards alike to witness this phenomenon. Cho did not loosen her grip, her heart racing as fast as Harry's.

'This can't be happening. I killed him!' Harry yelled at the top of his voice, looking at the Dark Mark in the sky, floating around like a cloud. His memory went to the night in the castle, the people who died because of him; Fred, Tonks, Lupin ... he even felt a little sadness about Snape.

'Harry, what do we do?' Cho asked, hopelessly, clutching onto his arm. I wish I knew what to say, what to do ..., Harry desperately thought.

'I'm going home to see Ginny, are you coming?'

'Harry, I-'

'Are you coming or not ?!' Harry yelled, his fright pumped around his body like the adrenalin. Cho hesitated for a moment, releasing grip on Harry's arm. She nodded. Harry grabbed her hand and they ran through the crowd, pushing people aside to get to his car. Opening the door, sitting in the car he mumbled to himself. Cho put on her seat belt and put her hand on Harry's forearm.

'We'll be okay' Harry turned his keys and the engine started. He zoomed down the road, eyes set on the road and his fear took over.

'Harry, be careful!' Cho called out, looking at the Muggles carelessly walking around the streets. 'Where are we going?'

'To Godrics Hollow. I can not lose her and my baby' He put his foot down and the car drove even faster. Reaching the destination, moments later, he threw the car door open and ran to the house, Cho trailed behind.

Harry whipped out his wand, pointing at the door. He reached for his keys, unlocking the door, throwing them on the floor he ran in. Cho closed the door behind him, turning the lock, she followed Harry.

Harry yelled for Ginny, looking in all the rooms, pushing open all doors, he found her huddled in a corner.

'Ginny!' He collapsed to his knees, crawling to her weak body, cuddling her in his arms, cradling the love of his life. She whimpered weakly, rubbing Harry's forearms.

'Harry ... I ... I love you ...' Harry's eyes filled with warm tears, he could not lose her. Not now. Not with the baby on the way.

'Ginny ... we can make it through, you and I ... be strong' Harry buried his head in her arms. Bang. He lashed his head up; how could this be happening to me again? What did I do wrong? Harry thought to himself, releasing himself from Ginny, he lifted her head; her face pale and eyes contorted. 'Ginny, stay here, don't move. I love you, I'll be back' He stood up, walked to Cho, wand ready for a duel.

'Look after her Cho, if anything happens to me ...' He looked into Cho's big brown eyes, she nodded fighting back tears. Harry nodded back, and ran into the hallway.

Standing in the doorway, he saw Voldermort standing, wand in his hand.

'Funny this Harry; twenty years ago it was your father standing there, and your mother next on my list. But I will great pleasure in this little meeting' Harry bit his tongue; he did not want to do or say anything that would threaten her life.

'I thought I killed you ...'

'Oh, yes you did. You see ... I'm not flesh and blood anymore. I cannot be killed. As flesh, you could hurt me, damage me ... as I am now ... Let me explain Harry.' Voldermort walked towards Harry, Harry's wand shot straight in the air.

'STAY BACK!' Voldermort did not stop.

'As Professor Snape taught you in your sixth year; not that you paid any attention - is that a ghost is the imprint of a person who has pasted. An inferi is a solid body, although not alive' Voldermort stopped talking for a moment; walking closer to Harry, he smiled, 'don't you get it, Harry? You can not kill me; you've done that already, so I believe that this duel will be my victory' Harry's face turned white as ice. If Voldermort was really, an inferi there was one way to survive and rescue Ginny and himself; fire.

'This victory will be mine, Tom' Harry said confidently, pointing his wand and yelling. 'EXPELIARMUS!' Nothing happened. Harry was weakened; he knew this was happen, something would always come back to haunt him ... he had never thought it would be Voldermort.

'Harry, Harry, Harry ... If you try that one more time the girl gets it. The girl and your little brat!' Tears contorted Harry's eyes - he could not lose Ginny.

'What do you want from me?'

'Your life'

'So take it ...' Harry said just loud enough for Voldermort to hear. Ginny's whimpers became a lot louder.

'Such a brave hero, but if I take your life now ... What will I do with your little girlfriend here?'

'You'll let her live!'

Voldermort's laughter filled the room, Cho stood behind Harry, holding him steady.

'I see you have another friend for me to play with, let go of him you silly girl' Cho gripped tighter into Harry, her voice shaking with fear and anger.

'No' Cho yelled at him.

'Very well' He threw Ginny roughly onto the floor, Ginny's sobs got louder. Voldermort pointed his wand at Cho, but at the last minute, Harry shrugged her off him.

'CRUCIO!' Harry's scream of agony lingered in the air. He fell in to the floor twitching in pain, cowered on the floor. Ginny tried to crawl to him, to comfort him.

'Your little girlfriend seems to want to die. I'll tell you what, Harry. Stand up. Now' Harry stood slowly, leaning on the dining table for support.

'You can save her life and your little brat's life ... if you let that one die' Voldermort pointed to Cho; Harry looked at her, sympathetically and then back to Ginny.

'Why are you content on taking their lives? You came here to finish the thing you started twenty years ago ...'

'That was my original plan, indeed. But I have a new plan. Don't be relieved your life will be taken. And so will your girlfriends or your little friend over there. Such a hard decision, isn't it Potter?'

The anger in Harry's stomach was growing; he bit his tongue to spare their lives.

'You've always been one to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. You make me sick; you're mother and father were meddlesome fools too, Potter' Harry's clenched his fist around his wand. 'The whole lot of you; that will be one unfortunate child, no father ... no more Saint Potter to raise him. Unless you decide to kill her, I would not blame you, blood traitor. Do you know how it feels to take another's life, to see their last moments, their last gasps for breath? You couldn't save Sirius or Dumbledore could you? No, you couldn't, Potter. You had no choice ... you have nothing. Except the death of one of these two on your back.' Harry held up his wand straight to Voldermort's chest; just as Voldermort scooped up Ginny and held her firmly in place.

'Go on then Potter. Say your curse, or have you lost your bottle?' Harry walked towards Voldermort, stopping abruptly.

'Do you enjoy this; I swear if you lay a finger on her, I'll -'

'Kill me? Try it. But when you do ... she'll get it. Think twice Mr Potter' Harry held his wand up still, his hand shaking, slowly he lowered his hand. Looking at Ginny.

'I don't want to lose you, but I don't know what to do' Harry looked down at the floor, his tears started to fall, his sobs got louder and louder.

'Oh, can you shut up with the snivelling - you're pathetic' Voldermort snapped at Harry.
