Disclaimer: She started it... I'm ending it! R/R!

Hermione wanted to die. The searing pain was running up and down her spine as he shook her. Blood was starting to run into her eyes stinging them. The only thing that was preventing her from collapsing was Gallagan's hold on her. She could here Ron swearing and all of them arguing.

"You can't make me choose!" Harry yelled. She heard Gallagan chuckle, the sound causing her skin to crawl.

"That's too bad!" He shook both girls. "These whore's lives depend on your decision. Make sure it's one you can live with!" What happened next was so fast it took everyone a moment to figure out how it happened.

"Expelliarmus!" Gallagan's wand fell away and surprised, he let go of the two girls. Lavender and Pravati appeared from behind a sculpture, grabbed Ginny and Hermione and began to run. The men were stopped by Harry, Seamus, Neville and Dean. Gallagan had gotten to his wand in time and faced off with a pissed off Ron.

"GET THE GIRL!" He screamed. Two men went off after the four. Ron and Gallagan began to circle each other.

"You're going to wish you were dead when I'm done with you," he threatened.

"Not after I kill you," Ron snarled.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Move!" Lavender pushed Ginny out of the way when one of the men slashed at her with a knife. Pravati wrestled the knife out of the man's hand. The girls were cornered at the entrance. Ginny was trying to remember where the exit was.

"There!" They all ran for the tunnel when Ginny was pulled back.

"GINNY!" Hermione screamed. One of the men had a hold of Ginny's hair and was pulling her back. Hermione pounded on the man's arm, when Pravati held up the man's knife. Ginny stared at her, understanding what she was trying to say. She closed her eyes tightly as Pravati swung at her hair. Ginny shot loose and the girls were running again. They shot out of the hole and tried to catch their breath, all of them bleeding at the legs from scrambling in the rocks along the tunnel. Ginny screamed. Terry was still there.

"He's dead." Lavender turned to the tunnel, hearing voices. She shoved the girls toward the door.

"There's no time! Let's go!"

"You should have gotten out of the relationship when you had a chance."

"I'm not going to run away from Hermione just because a sadistic psychopath is trying to kill her." Gallagan laughed.

"Kill her! I love her!"

"LOVE HER! You tortured her in everyway possible!"

"I'll do more than that once I kill you! Avada Kedavra!"

"Reducto!"

"Gelltion!

"Pyro Contorta!" The spell missed and hit one of the men who were battling Neville. The man shrieked in pain as he burst into flames, running around screaming. Gallagan smiled.

"I'll have to remember that one. Crucio!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Bombarda!" Ron blasted back, hitting the wall and falling to the ground.

"Ron!" Harry yelled, he tried to run over to him but suddenly large pieces of rock began to fall. Harry stopped stunned. Gallagan smiled.

"Time for me to go reclaim my prize!" He disappeared from sight, his laughter still echoing in the cavern.

The girls were desperately trying to make their way down the hall but Hermione was slowing them down. She was weak and her legs were failing her. Suddenly, something erupted and flames shot up out of the ground. Ginny turned and started down in the opposite direction when the same thing happened.

"We're trapped!" Lavender screamed. Hermione looked around, trying to remember the map. She then pointed.

"There! Behind the tapestry. There should be a passage way that leads straight to the corridor that Dumbledore is on!" Pravati ran over while Lavender and Ginny helped Hermione.

"She's right. Come on!" Pravati beckoned them over, noticing that the flames were getting closer. Lavender ran in after her, followed by Ginny. They were all running down the dark passageway when Ginny realized Hermione wasn't following. She ran back to the tapestry when she found a wall.

"Hermione!" She pounded on the wall. "HERMIONE!"

"Oh... did I do that... I'm sorry..." Hermione whirled around to face the blazing eyes.

"You shouldn't have left. I don't like people who leave the party early." Hermione screamed as the flames rose higher.

"What do you want with me!" He smiled, making him look like the devil. His hair was ragged and his eyes were cold yet on fire.

"To make you love me!"

"Dean! Help me!" Harry yelled, trying to dig through the rocks.

"Is he alive?" Neville asked. Harry pulled the body out, staring at it.

"YES!" Ron was coughing. Suddenly he sat up.

"Where's Hermione!" Seamus and Harry helped him stand up.

"She left with Lavender, Ginny and Pravati."

"I have to get to her!"

"The pain will stop soon…" Gallagan said soothingly.

"STAY AWAY FROM HERE!" Gallagan looked up, surprised. Ron knocked him to the ground, his wand digging in his neck.

"You're to late Weasel!"

"What do you mean?" Gallagan smiled.

"In two minutes she won't remember you! She won't remember anything!" Ron's eyes grew.

"You bastard!" Ron hit him in the head. Gallagan laughed, tasting the blood from his wound on the lip.

"It's to late." Ron glared at him.

"AVADA KADAVRA!" Gallagan went limp. Ron got off of him and went to Hermione, who was kneeling down holding her head.

"Hermione? Hermione what happened?" Hermione moaned. Ron was panicking. "Hermione look at me." He tilted her head and gaped. Her eyes were grey, and pulled back. She looked as if she were gasping for air as she grabbed her head.

"No…no….NO!" She moaned. Make it stop! Her heart screamed. Memories were leaving her. She could see them leave. The first day on the train. Halloween. "No!" She didn't want to forget, but they kept on leaving. Memories of fights. Memories when she and Ron were actually talking to each other nicely. The Yule Ball! Ron's first game! The Department of Mysteries! It was all leaving her! She gasped, grabbing at someone in front of her. She couldn't see. Her eyes only saw the memories. Their first kiss! Their sneaked meetings in the libraries, by the lake! Hermione grabbed her head.

"Hermione!" The voice sounded familiar… "Hermione!" RON! She grabbed out again. Someone grabbed her hands and place them on his face. "Hermione! You have to fight it! You have to…" Hermione gasped out in pain.

"Ron!" she gasped. "I can't!" Ron held her hands gazing at her tortured face.

"Hermione you can't give up!" Suddenly the memories were going faster, causing her head to throb.

"RON!" she screamed, grabbing her head, trying to keep the memories. She knew she was losing. She knew it… I can't lose… I can't forget! Then it came. The memory of them in the infirmary. "No…" she moaned. "Not that one!" Ron was helpless. She looked up. She couldn't see him but she had a feeling that he was there. "I love you Ron…" Ron shook his head, disbelievingly.

"No!" He grabbed her face. "You have to try." She cried out in pain.

"I can't…" He shook his head.

"Hermione, hold on! Just hold on!" She took his head, her grey eyes dancing in the fire.

"I love you… remember that… remember…" She gasped out in pain, choking up blood.

"Hermione! No!"

"I love…" She went limp, passed out. Ron looked down at her, shaking her.

"No….no… Hermione please… don't forget… don't…" He couldn't believe it… she was gone. "NOOOOO!" He pulled her to his chest and cried. Harry, Dean, Neville and Seamus appeared and saw him. This was the first and only time they had ever seen Ron cry.
