The Last Horcrux
Harry was talking with Dumbledore about how they where going to cut his scar off later after the meeting that day. " Sir, who's going to do it?"
" I will." Dumbledore replied seriously.
Harry shook his head. " Sir, what if something goes wrong, what if-"
Dumbledore cut him off. " Harry, it will be alright. Nothing will go wrong. I want to use your wand, if you don't mind, to conjure a knife. Just be safe."
Harry nodded. " Alright. I want to do this as soon as possible."
" I agree, I was thinking this afternoon." Dumbledore agreed.
Harry nodded. " I'm going to go tell Ron, Hermione, and Ginny."
Dumbledore nodded. " Go Harry. I'll find you when it's time."
Harry nodded, and left to find the threesome.
" Harry, are you sure?" Ginny said, her voice slightly shaky. Harry was explaining to them what he was planning.
Harry nodded. " Yes, I am. This afternoon will be the safest time to do this."
" Do you think that Dumbledore should be the one to do that? I mean, he is..." Hermione said doubtfully.
" I was worried about that also, but Dumbledore says that it will be alright." Harry replied, with a small smile.
Ron was looking pale. " Harry, be careful." He said, not looking at him.
" Cheers, mate." Harry replied.
Ron nodded. " When are you going to do it?"
" I dunno, Dumbledore said he would find me when it's time." Harry responded.
" I want to be there." Ron said immediately.
Ginny nodded. " Me to."
" Me to." Hermione volunteered.
Harry smiled. " You don't have to that."
" We want to Harry." Ginny said gently, and kissed him.
Harry sighed. " Alright, you can come. But if anything goes wrong, get out."
Just then, Dumbledore knocked on the door. " Harry, are you ready?"
" Yes, I am." Harry replied, and followed him out the door, with the other three following.
Harry sat quietly on a table, as Dumbledore used his wand to conjure a knife. Ginny was holding his hand, rubbing in little circles. Ron stood on the other side of Harry, and Hermione was sitting in a chair, looking pale.
" Alright, you can lie down now Harry." Dumbledore said quietly.
Ron backed away, and sat in the other chair next to Hermione, but Ginny stayed where she was.
Dumbledore moved to the other side, and bent over Harry, holding the the small knife in his hand.
Harry looked up at Ginny. " I love you Ginny."
Ginny smiled. " I love you to Harry, don't worry. You'll be alright."
Harry nodded, and took a deep breath. He layed back down, and closed his eyes tightly.
He felt the knife slowly cut into his forehead, and traced his scar.
All of a sudden the knife seemed to be white hot, and his scar felt like it was on fire. He opened his eyes, and say a green light coming out of the scar.
A strange laugh filled the room, a laugh so terrible, yet familiar. Then, as quickly as it had all started, it stopped, and Harry fell off the table in a heap.
He fagaly heard someone scream, " Harry!" but wasn't sure.
He was so sleepy, he just wanted to fall asleep, and sleep for a few days.
No. He thought, feircely. I have to get up. I have kill Voldomort, I have to. But he was so sleepy!
Maybe if I just sleep for a little while. Harry thought, and decided that was alright.
Voldomort looked at the black box Wormtail was holding. " Very good Wormtail!" He said, not taking his eyes off the box. Wormtail stood up a little straighter. " For once you have done as I have asked." Voldomort continued.
Wormtail looked down. " Thank you, my Lord."
Voldomort waved him off. " Put it away, in a safe place."
Wormtail nodded, and carried the box out of the dark room, limping slightly.
A few hours later, Harry woke up, and he saw he was back in his own room. Ginny was asleep on Ron's bed, with Hermione laying next to her. Ron was sleeping in an armchair.
Harry sat up, and looked at his watch. It was 1:21 AM.
So that's why it's so dark and quiet. Harry thought.
He swung his feet over the bed. He went over to the full length mirror, and looked at himself.
His scar was not bandaged, and Harry saw it was open, but not bleeding.
" It wouldn't stay bandaged." Someone said.
Harry whirled around, and say Ginny sitting up carefully.
" Hey Gin. Are you alright?"
Ginny nodded. " I should be asking you the same thing, Harry!"
" I'm fine Gin, I'm fine. What happened?" Harry asked.
Ginny looked at the sleeping couple, and motioned Harry to follow her. She led him out into the hallway. " A second after Dumbledore finished doing the scar, a green light filled the room. It looked like it was coming out of your scar." Ginny looked at the wound on his forehead. " Then you started laughing, but it sounded..." Ginny struggled for a word. " Weird, you sounded evil. Then it stopped, and you fell off the table. We brought in here after Dumbledore decided you where alright. You've been sleeping ever since."
Harry nodded, and looked at picture of a horse stretching in the sun. " Was anyone hurt?"
Ginny shook her head. " No, but Dumbledore and I where pushed back."
" Okay. Why don't we go back to bed, and we'll talk more in the morning?" Harry said, after yawning loudly.
Ginny smiled. " Sounds good to me."
Harry led her back into the room, and he slid into bed. Ginny climbed in next to him, and Harry put his arms around her.
Harry lay awake, and soon he heard Ginny's soft breathing, signaling she was asleep.
Harry listened to her steady breathing, and soon fell asleep himself.
" Harry! Harry it's okay, it's only a dream!" Ginny said as she shook Harry awake.
Harry opened his eyes, and heard someone moaning, before relizing it was himself.
" Harry, are you alright?" Ginny asked, as she wiped the sweat from his face.
Harry nodded, and reached for his glasses. He slid them on, and everything went into focus.
Ginny was leaning over him, and Ron and Hermione were standing near by, watching him with concern on their faces.
" Harry, are you alright? Do I need to get Dumbledore?" Hermione asked.
Harry shook his head. " What happened?" He asked.
" You where rolling around, holding your scar and moaning." Ginny answered, looking at him with concern.
" Harry mate. are you alright?" Ron asked.
Harry nodded. " I'm fine. I don't remember having a dream, I don't remember anything." Harry said slowly.
Ginny sighed. " I don't know Harry. How are you feeling?"
" Fine, I feel perfectly fine." Harry answered.
Hermione examined his forehead carefully. " Harry, your scar is not open anymore."
Harry got up and went over to the full length mirror. Sure enough, his scar was now a scab. " That healed quickly." He commented.
Ginny came up behind him. " Harry, you should get some more sleep."
Harry nodded.
" Hermione and I will go back to our room. You and Ron get some sleep." Ginny instructed.
Harry and Ron both nodded, and shut the door quietly behind the girls.
The boys slid into they're beds, after turning off the light.
" Ron?" Harry whispered.
" Ya?" Ron replied.
Harry turned over on his side. " Are you worried? I mean, about the war?"
There was a pause. " Ya. Really scared, I keep worring that we may not win, or someone we know will get really hurt. Or worse." Was the final answer.
" So am I. But we'll win, we have to." Harry responded, and lay his back down.
" Night Harry." Ron said.
Harry closed his eyes. " Night Ron."
He lay there, but didn't go back to sleep. He lay there thinking of the coming war.
What if we don't win, what if something goes wrong? What if I get klled first? Harry thought, with worry. No, we will win. We have to, or the whole world will never be rid of Voldomort.
With that, Harry fell asleep, but not before promising himself he would win this war.
