Chapter 7 - When You Love Someone But It Goes To Waste

*Harry P.O.V*

If Ron and Hermione would stop bickering about food for two seconds then maybe I'd be able to go and watch Ginny on the Mauraders Map but if it keeps going like this I'll have to cast a shield charm between them. Merlin I miss Ginny so much it's an ache in my chest. I want this whole thing to be over so we can just be together without someone trying to kill us every other day.

"You can do the cooking tomorrow, Ron, you can find the ingredients and try to charm them into something worth eating, and I'll sit here and pull faces and moan and you can see how you -" I'm not listening to Hermione screech at Ron anymore so I turn my attention to outside, something I've picked up doing in the past weeks, can't hurt to have extra ears on the lookout, when I hear muffled voices beyond our boundaries.

This is where I cut off Hermione "Shut up!" I jump to my feet and raise my arms "Shut up now!"

"How can you side with him, he hardly ever does the cook-"

"Hermione, be quiet. I can hear someone!" I looked over at the Sneakoscope and it's un-moving but I've still never been so scared in my life. What if it's Death Eaters? "You cast the Muffilato Charm over us, right?" I whispered in Hermione's direction.

"I did everything, Muffilato, Muggle-Repelling and Disillusionment charms, all of it. They shouldn't be able to hear or see us, whoever they are." Without the other two fighting I can hear a bit better, I can hear scuffing and scraping and other sounds that indicate people are clambering up the slope towards the tent. The three of us draw our wands and wait. By the sounds of it they're only about twenty feet away. Hermione picks up the beaded bag beside her and after rummaging around in it for a minute pulls out three pairs of extendable ears and tosses a pair to me and one to Ron. Within seconds I can hear a weary, male voice.

"There ought to be a few salmon in here, or d'you it's too early in the season? Accio salmon!" I can hear a few splashes and a grunt of appreciation. Then another noise comes through the extendable ear in my hand. It sounds like a conversation. No it defiantly is a conversation but certainly not in English or any other human language I've ever heard of. There seems to be only two speakers.

"Here Griphook, Gornuk" and I immediately recognise them as goblins just as Hermione mouths it at us. I keep listening to them to see if I can figure out who the human speakers are. It soon emerges as Ted Tonks, Dirk Cresswell and my old Hogwarts dorm-mate Dean Thomas. Upon hearing Dean's voice I can't help the wave of immense relief that flows through my body.

Relief at the fact that the love of my life hasn't run off with her ex and one of my best friends. Relief at the fact that maybe, just maybe, she waiting for me and she loves me as much as I love her. But not more than I love her because that's impossible. All I can think is if Dean's here Ginny's not in his arms but also I always knew he'd look after her. Who's looking out for her now? Helping her control her temper? Neville? I hope he is and I also know he wont try something with her as he has a thing for Luna. I'm not a jealous person it's just I have a lot of time to think which means a lot of time to worry. When I look at the Mauraders Map she usually seems to be with Neville and Luna which reassures me.

Just as I become reassured I hear Dirk say "Didn't you hear about that Ted? About the kids who tried to steal Gryffindor's sword out of Snape's office at Hogwarts?" An electric current runs through my body and roots me to the spot and I just know it's Ginny. "Griphook here told me, he heard about it from Bill Weasley who works for the bank. One of the kids who tried to take the sword was Bill's younger sister." Oh Merlin, I knew it, please let her be O.K. I've been looking at the Map and she's still alive but if she's hurt I'll kill whoever did it. I lock eyes with Ron and I know he'll do the same.

The two goblins proceed to tell more details of what happened and a story about the sword being fake. Wait the sword is fake? I can think more about that later but right now I need to know if she's O.K. I couldn't live with myself if she got hurt because of me. I hope and pray that someone asks the question that I'm screaming in my head. Then I remember Dean's an ex-boyfriend of hers and obliges "What happened to Ginny and the others? The ones who tried to steal it?" Thanks Dean, I owe you one.

"Oh they were punished, and cruelly" replied the one I think is Griphook.

Ted asks the next question running through my head "They're O.K though? I mean the Weasleys don't need any more of they're kids injured, do they?" I presume he's referring to Bill's encounter with Greyback, George's ear being cursed off and the fact that Ron's supposed to be on his deathbed with spattergroit not sitting next to me.

"They suffered no serious injuries, as far as I am aware" said Griphook. Thank Merlin, the girl I love is O.K. That's all that matters in this sick, twisted world. I feel relief rush through me again and I just want to pick up the Mauraders Map and stare at her dot and hopefully she'll remember I love her and this is all just to kill Voldemort. The three humans and two goblins are having a short conversation about how they think I'm the chosen one and how the Quibbler is supporting me now, I only half listen, the other half of me is with Ginny in the common room snuggled in front or the fire. They then leave to go sleep further up the slope.

"Ginny - the sword-" I exclaim.

"I know" replied Hermione. Then she reaches into the beaded bag and pulls out the old picture frame belonged to Phineas Nigellus. "If some one swapped the real sword for the fake while it was in Dumbledore's office, Phineas Nigellus would have seen it happen, he hangs right beside the case!" Not if he was asleep i think and I voice this concern but she ignores me and says "Er - Phineas? Phineas Nigellus? Professor Black? Please could we talk to you?"

As he enters the frame talking about how please always helps Hermione says "Obscuro." and a black blindfold covers his eyes. For a minute he's quite lost but regains his composure when he hears me talk "We've got a few questions to ask you - about the sword of Gryffindor."

"Ah yes. That silly girl acted most unwisely there -" That's when Ron interrupts him "Shut up about my sister" Phineas fills us in on what happened and how Ginny Neville and Luna got detention with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest which again puts me at ease.

He informs us that goblin-made silver doesn't get dirty it only takes in that which makes it stronger. Before he goes he also tells us that the last time the ring was taken out of its case was when Dumbledore used it to break open a ring. It couldn't have been the horcrux could it? The next thing that runs through my head is that my girlfriend is O.K and we have just found a way to destroy the horcruxes.

Little did Harry know that only minutes later one of their trio would walk out on them and his girlfriend, after casting the Muffilato charm, fell asleep crying that night.

O.K so this chapter is more or less chapter fifteen from the book but I wanted to tell it in Harry's P.O.V. I know it's a bit short but it's more of a filler and a change of P.O.V than anything else. Thanks for reading and please review. :)
