Chapter Five

Mezentius

I'm not a saint so don't praise me.

Don't kiss the floor I walk on.

You're mistaken.

Harry walked out the hotel Lobby. Cursing him for being happy for a second because they met. He should be angry, but he wasn't. for some strange reason ginny looked worse than he is. He could still remember the pain in her eyes, and that morning the happiness that she had way back in Hogwarts. He reached Ron's place already, glad that there was no one home.

"Harry!"

Harry turned and saw Ron, his face paled.

"Harry? Are you alright?" Ron asked.

"Uh- Yeah, just came from an old friend's place." harry mumbled. He tried to change the topic when he saw a bouquet of roses.

"For Hermione? They're wonderful!"

"Actually no-" Hermione answered Harry's question reaching for it.

"Harry- it's for Ginny" Ron spoke.

They know ginny is alive?

"Today is her death anniversary." Hermione finished.

"Oh." Harry didn't know what to say, he left the two and proceeded to his room. They should know that she's alive! But it will create confusion and adjustments. And if that happens, they will have to see each other more often. That will be bad. He held on to his necklace but he didn't feel remorse, he was longing for something..for someone.

It was one of those days that Harry couldn't figure out what was happening to him. He suddenly felt cold and sad, life caught up with him. The prophecy, all those deaths. Cho was with him, but he couldn't even feel his heart lighten, why?

True love can never be found where it does not truly exist nor can it be hidden where it truly does.

Harry looked around, he didn't find the draco-pansy spat on the other table amusing. Then he saw Ginny, his heart had a little hope for some reason.

"Cho, I have to get back to the common room now." Harry whispered and kissed her cheek; Cho just smiled back and watched him leave.

Harry walked briskly to catch up with Ginny who was walking alone towards the common room.

"Gin!" Harry called out, ginny stopped and faced him. Her face suddenly brightened.

"Hey Captain!" Ginny grinned and walked with him.

"You don't look well," Ginny commented and she took his hands and they went outside the castle.

"What are we doing here?" Harry turned and faced here.

"Look into the skies." Ginny pointed to Harry. It was marvelous, there were thousands of stars scattered all over the dark skies.

Being with you is like going to a place that I've never been before. That I could be happy without doing anything.

After a few minutes, they just stood there. Admiring the heavens.

"Feel any better?" Ginny reached his hand and squeezed it.

Harry didn't know what was happening in his mind and heart. He held on to her hand and pulled her closer in a tight embrace. He felt her warm body fitting perfectly to his, It was warm and made him feel safe. He didn't want to let go.

Ginny's heart almost fluttered away when harry pulled her and embraced her. This is what she dreamed of since she was 10. To be this close to harry forever even if it was impossible. She fought hard not to cry because of happiness she felt, but it was over harry pulled away and they walked back the castle hand in hand. But her world suddenly crashed.

"Gin, thanks. I felt much better. You're a good friend."

Friend? Oh shit! Right-right I'm just his friend. Stupid me!

"No problem."

Ginny's apartment..

Ginny couldn't help but long for harry. She longed for him for like- forever ever since she was 10 and now that she's 19. Has it really been that long? She didn't think of him for the past four years, but now she missed him badly. She played in her head, the way harry stared at her, the way he talked and ate toast.

You will be doing anything for the one you love except love them again.

"Ginny," She turned and saw amy.

"Amy!"

"Here" she handed a letter and left.

It was in a black envelope; she opened it and quickly recognized the letter. It was from Syke.

Ginny,

As soon as you finished reading this throw it away and burn it! Make sure no one reads it.

I know I owe my life to the Nighthawks but something happened. I'm not sure if we are still doing the right thing. Somehow, Night is tied up with the death eaters, They are having a plan of killing the aurors. I saw it all. A man named Mezentius came and said some things, I didn't hear it anymore cause I fled. I'm far away now. I'll contact you as soon as I can. Keep your eyes open.

Syke.

Ginny burned the letter and felt her body become so cold. They were tied up with death eaters? Kill aurors?

"Auror training, Auror work. And a little bit of quidditch. You?"

This is insane! Ginny went out the apartment to meet Night.

"Hawk!" Ginny greeted him outside his house.

"Don't call me that, I have a name!"

"Night- we need to talk."

"About what?"

"Those death eaters & Aurors! Night, we don't have a clue who they are anyway! It's been a decade since the Nighthawks tried to find out who they are but we don't even have a clue! Let's lay it off."

"Ginny, its not that easy, and we are not clueless anymore."

"I don't want to be a part of the inner circle anymore!" Night glared at her.

"There are about 500 members of the Nighthawks worldwide who risk their lives just to prove themselves worthy to be in the inner circle and you want to back out like that!"

"I don't- I just, I'm not interested in Death eaters and Aurors anymore."

"Not even Harry Potter?"

Ginny froze, how did they know that harry was an auror. Ginny did mention Harry Potter to Night, as a man who was a good friend before. She opened it up when she was not yet in the Nighthawks and he was just a cousin who dropped by their house.

"He's one of them. So you know something about them don't you? Our new informant gave us lists of the top aurors and-"

Ginny didn't let him finish he threw him a dagger that tore his right sleeve.

"Don't even lay a finger on him or hurt him! I swear am going to kill all of you."

"Kill all of us? You will be dead halfway." Night chuckled.

"I'll die trying."

Night's face suddenly turned sour and took his cell phone.

"your right, she knows Potter. She's more concerned than I thought. I guess she loves him to death. What do you want me to do Mezentius?"
