Chapter 2 - A New Past To Present

Everything was so blurry. Ginny walked alone down the corridor, well she thought it was a corridor. She heard a distance screaming and came around the corner and found a girl, with long hair. A girl she knew, but couldn't really tell if she knew her or not. The girl was screaming, screaming for Harry. Clara Ginny thought. She followed the girl and then she found a boy walking after her. Ginny reached out to touch him, Harry. he just got further away, she was moving further away. Everything became a water colored and Ginny could tell who was who anymore. Screaming filled her ears and then a green flash went over her vision...

"No," Ginny gasped as she sat up in bed, sweat pouring down her face.

She climbed out of bed and went and opened the window. Was it Clara, Draco, or was it Harry. The screaming was so like a girl, but anyone can scream like a girl when in pain. Ginny turned around and looked around in her room and found Clara's present sitting on her desk. Today was her birthday, she didn't feel much holder, and yet she did. Maybe it was because she was feeling wiser now. She today Luna would be arriving, and to her dismay Hermione as well. Heaving a deep sigh, Ginny said down on her bed and took Clara's present into her hands. Ripping the wrapping paper of, Ginny found a box. She threw the paper away and then opened the box. Inside she found a black rose, inside a glass container, and then a little box after that. She picked up Clara's letter and began to read.


Dear Ginny,

I couldn't tell you, I couldn't. You see I know I'm not coming back next year. He will kill me, I carry something he needs, something he craves to have. By the time you read this, I will be in fact dead. If all goes well Harry will leave alive with Draco, and he'll be coming back to you. I gave him my black stone necklace, and in the box I gave you you will find a green stone necklace. Both have a curse on them so they won't harm you guys. My mother carried that other stone for years, and when I got to go through her stuff I found it. I knew what it was immediately. Its The Stone Of Darkened Light. The complete opposite of The Stone of Lightened Dark. These stones are very powerful Ginny. They can do anything when put together. My father wanted it for power, to stay alive. The only things you'll have to figure out is how to get the curse off and how to use them. If you understand what I'm saying, I be so happy. I can't write what I really need to say. But if you don't understand, you will in time. I also left my Black Rose. Its a rose that represents my past to present. I care so much for this rose, Ginny. Please take care of it for me. I have to much held in it, held in it from my heart.

In this rose lies

A boy I loved and still love that will go on forever in my heart

Screams I'll never be able to forget

A pair of red eyes of the man I hate most

The man known as Tom Riddle before darkness took him and made him Lord Voldemort

A single sentence that will hunt my life, a sentence I never should have followed

So many regrets over the years of my life

The darkness I once craved now so full of love

A man that saved my life, a man of great wisdom

A boy, one of which I will be great friends with

The last black rose I'll ever let go of

New beginnings of being a great Auror and destroying Voldemort

A love that will forever change my life

A past I never want to repeat

A future I want to see

My Past to Present

All contained in this single black rose

A rose that will never die, like my heart

A rose that will forever be at my side

To remind me of my past and so give me hopes for the future

Treasure this rose for me Ginny. Treasure it like you made it. It will never die, or fade. Let this rose give you hopes for the future Ginny, and in it add so many things. Things from your heart. I have so many things I want to add will you add them to it, to your heart, to the rose for me.

A friendship of three so powerful and so great

A friendship of one like no other

Green eyes of the future

Two necklace of the Past to the Future

A great friendship I'll never forget

A girl of blonde so smart and intelligent

A girl of red so loving and caring

A future I helped to create

A future I will never get to see

A heart full of happiness

A heart full of pain

A heart that will forever miss

A heart that will be forever missed

Add them to that black rose for me Ginny. Add then to the rose of my mother, my favorite color and flower. Treasure those things and add your own things to it. Don't ever think it is stupid. It is never stupid to put things away so they don't harm you, rip you piece to piece. It's how I moved on, and now I want to you to have it. To put all your own hearts feelings into it and to create not just my past to present, but yours Ginny. A past to present that will go one for years to come. A past the present that will never fade. Use this and cherish this rose, like I did for so many years. Use it to help you, guide you to your destiny Ginny. To help you, help Harry will. To destroy the man I fear, my father. I will always be with you Ginny, as well as Luna and Harry. I will always miss you guys. You can't tell, but you guys changed my life, for the good. I could have never been happier dying if I hadn't meet you guys. I'll miss you Ginny. Don't mourn me either, not sulking either, basically the same, but you get the idea right. A surprise will come to you today Ginny, something I know will make you happy. Something you'll forget about me, but not truly forget about me for I will always be in your heart. Yours, Harry's and Luna's. I mean the dead one's never truly leave us right, you can always find them, me, in your heart.

Love Always,

Clara Rose Riddle

Ginny dropped the paper and started crying. She cried for minutes before she turned to the little box. With shaking fingers she opened the box and found a dark green stone sitting inside. Taking the necklace in her hands she placed it over her head and tucked it under her shirt. Then she noticed a white bird flying outside. Hedwig, no, it can't be. Ginny jumped up and ran over to the window and let the owl in. She watched as Hedwig dropping a letter and parcel on the ground. The she sat down on the top of Ginny's bed.Ginny picked up the letter and opened it.


Dear Ginny,

How are you? I am good. Its seems weird writing when I should be there for your birthday, but I can't. I'm so happy you kept my promise Ginny, you have no idea how much that means to me. Draco and Clara came to Voldemort. Clara didn't survive Ginny. She was killed, and now I wear her necklace. She said you would have a green one. When she fell to the floor, Draco and I ran for our lives. We're alright right now. I'm not in good shape though. I was cut a lot and lost a lot of blood. But I will be coming to Hogwarts, don't you worry. I will come back to you. I didn't find anything on Voldemort, nothing. I guess I'm jumping around a lot. Sorry. I have so much on my mind, its not even funny. Well it is, but it isn't. I can't wait to see you Ginny. You with my gift, I love you so much Ginny. I can't believe I'll be with you in a week, a week. I won't be on the train I'm afraid though. Its to risky, we have death eaters hunting us now. Well I have to go, we're getting ready to head closer to Hogwarts. I miss you Ginny. Can you take care of Hedwig for me, I can't have her as a burden. Not that she's a burden , but you know what I mean. Please don't write back, it might give us away. I'll talk to you soon.


Love,

Harry

P.S. I heard about your brother, Charlie, from Draco. I hope your cooping alright, I bet you I missed his funeral didn't I?

Ginny smiled at the letter and then picked up the gift. Slowly opening it she found a ring inside. It wasn't just any ring either. It was silver and had the Sytherin and Gryffindor crests on it. It not only had diamonds on it but rubies. Ginny felt her heart fill with pride and joy. Then she noticed a little letter in the box.


I know this ring might seem weird. Consider it a promise ring from me to you. A promise to that one day I will make you my wife. When that day is, I don't know yet. On the ring I have the Syltherin and Gryffindor Crests on it. You may ask Slytherin because I was never meant to be a Gryffindor. I am a true Slytherin, I ask the hat to put me in Gryffindor.

Love Harry

Ginny smiled even wider and put the ring on. She felt a sudden pain in her finger. It went up into her heart. Harry was in pain. How much though. She could feel that Harry was trying to fight it off. Taking a deep breath Ginny headed down for her so called birthday with her family and family. She had only one week and she'd see him. She could wait. Well she couldn't, but she would.She wait for him to come back to her.
