Chapter Fourteen: Savior

Ginny fell as Gabriel collapsed, being hit by Harry's spell. Harry dropped his wand and ran to Ginny and got Gabriel's arms off of her.

"Ginny! Are you alright?" He asked pulling her into an embrace. She was frozen. Her mind couldn't wrap itself around what had just happened.

"Gin? Ginny? Gin-bug? Are you alright? Let's get you to the hospital wing!" He said helping her up. She shook her head. Did that really just happen? Did Harry really just kill someone?

"What happened Mr. Potter?" Madame Pomfery asked as Harry sat Ginny down on the bed.

"Gabriel Riddle attacked me with the Cruciatus Curse." Ginny said blankly. Harry shouldn't have done that for me. I'm not worth becoming a killer for.

"Who Ms. Weasley?"

"Voldemort's son." With the mention of the Dark Lord's name, the nurse flinched and went to get Ginny some pain relief potion.

"Are you thinking clearly? Are any of your senses impaired?" she said.

"I don't wanna think. I'm in a lot of pain but I'll be fine." She said, shaking her head trying to wrap her mind around what had just happened.

"Where's Mr. Riddle now?"

"He escaped." Ginny said quickly. Harry looked at her. She gave him a slight nod, letting him know that she wouldn't tell. Harry just held her.

"We need to inform the headmaster of this." Madam Pomfery said.

"Are you kidding me? I told him the security measures weren't enough. He didn't listen or do anything!"Ginny said. The matron looked at the young girl and slowly shook her head.

"Are you sure you're thinking clearly Ms. Weasley?"

"Madame Pomfery I was there with her. I know what went on and that's exactly it." Harry said defending her. The nurse shook her head and grabbed a few vials of pain relieving potion from the cupboard and handed them to Ginny.

"This should do you for the next few days Ms. Weasley. If it doesn't help then come back to me and we'll have a specialist from St. Mungo's come and check you out." Ginny nodded before drinking one of the vials.

Instantly her pain lessened and it became more tolerable.

"How many times did he cast the curse?" Ginny shook her head at the question.

"At least twice but I escaped into my mind where he couldn't hurt me. I thought of happier things."

"That's quite impressive Ms. Weasley." Headmaster Dumbledore said as he came into the hospital wing.

"YOU! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT I GOT ATTACKED! I TOLD YOU HOW POOR THE SECURITY MEASURES WERE!" she yelled, getting up to confront him. Harry held her back.

"It's not worth it Gin," Harry pleaded with her.

"LIKE HELL IT IS! HE CAME AFTER CHO WHEN I WOULDN'T DO WHAT HE WANTED! IT WASN'T JUST ME HE HURT!"

"Ms. Weasley let me expla-,"

"NO! You don't get a chance to explain. You don't deserve my time. Let's go Harry." She got up and Harry followed her. Ginny went to the astronomy tower just for the air. She breathed in deeply before letting all of her emotions go.

Sobbing, she screamed "I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!" She slid down to the floor and Harry sat beside her just holding her.

"I do too." He said quietly.

"Harry, I never thanked you." Ginny said a few minutes later after calming down.

"You don't have to. You would've done the same for me."

"I'm not worth it."

"DON'T SAY THAT!" Harry said. "You have been the kindest person to me this year. You've stuck by me through everything. You're the only one who understands. Who I can be myself around! You're the best thing in my life Gin." He hugged her. He looked into her eyes, finally seeing that maybe he had found the perfect girl and that she was sitting beside him. But he looked away.

No, I love Cho. I'm proposing tonight still. He thought. Ginny looked away too. She couldn't handle this.

"I've got to go." Harry said.

"Thank you again for everything." She said. As he got up her hand was still in his. She looked up. But he walked away. But she didn't cry. No, she went back to her dorm and wrote a song. A song she hoped she would never have to perform.

When she did, she felt slightly better and started practicing her song for the talent show that was coming up soon. She'd have to figure out what to wear. Where was Hermione? She wondered.

She walked into Harry's dormitory and saw him changing.

"Gin! What are you doing in here?" He said as he quickly tried to button up his shirt.

"Relax I came to borrow the mauraders map to look for Hermione." she said opening his trunk. Looking quickly, she found her in the library with Remus Lupin?

Harry looked at her. "While you're here, do you mind helping me pick out a tie?"

Ginny nodded, looking Harry up and down. Merlin! He's hot! Oh god no don't think that. Green? Yes green will go with the eyes!

She picked out a green tie and handed it to him. He put it on and it was crooked so she pulled him closer to her and fixed it.

She looked up at him. She can't the ways light up when you smile.

"Invisible," she whispered too low for him to hear.

"What Gin?"

"I gotta go. Hermione's with Remus in the library and I'm wondering what's happening?"

"Moony?"

"I'll come with you." He said grabbing her hand. Ginny fought the tingling sensation and just walked.

"GINNY? ARE YOU OK?" Hermione yelled when she saw her. Ginny nodded and hugged her.

"Where did that traitor go?" Remus asked.

"Let's talk somewhere else. This can't be said in public." He lead them to the room of requirement. Ginny tensed up after all she had been tortured there only a few hours ago.

"He can't hurt you anymore Gin." She nodded taking his hand as they went into a very different looking room.

"I killed him. I killed him Remus." Harry said. Hermione covered her mouth in shock.

Remus sat there a little stunned.

"It was Ginny or him. I saved Ginny. You can't tell anyone."

"Harry you could go to Azkaban for that!" Hermione said.

"No one will find out Hermione." Ginny said.

"I have to go get Cho. I'm proposing tonight." Harry said. Remus looked surprised.

"Are you sure about this Harry?"

"Yes!" he said forcefully, trying not to remember how he had felt looking into Ginny's eyes earlier that day.

"Alright just asking because people change there minds a lot Harry. Even when they think they love someone. I mean look at me and Tonks. She changed her mind about me even though we loved each other." Hermione hugged Remus.

"People walk out of your life for a reason. She opening the door for someone better to come in." Hermione said.

"I get that But I LOVE Cho."

"Are you positive? Sure it isn't infatuation?"

"MERLIN REMUS! YES! I'm POSITIVE!" Harry said "I'M PROPOSING TONIGHT!"

Remus shook his head in defeat. "Alright Harry if that's what you want!"

"It is. Goodbye!" he said leaving.
