Last few chapters now *sniff*
Hope you like it!
Harry's arms slid around Ginny's waist as he pulled her under the cloak just before Snape rounded the corner.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He hissed in her ear.
"Fuck off Harry!" She squirmed in his arms, desperate to find Blaise.
"I'm trying to look out for you Ginny! Why are you constantly rejecting me?"
His aggrieved tone went unheard by a frantic Ginny, who was still trying to loosen his arms.
"Will you just let go of me!"
"I can't do that, I promised Ron I would search for you and bring you back. Everyone's been going frantic looking for you, think about your family even if you obviously can't find it in yourself to think of me,"
She twisted about under the cloak until she was facing him, her words on the tip of her tongue when he grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her towards him, kissing her fiercely. She punched at his shoulders, unable to loosen the iron grip of his hand in her hair. The other encircled her wrists as she continued to hit him, rendering her helpless.
She sent up a brief prayer... And bit his inquisitive tongue hard. "Shit!" he released her, throwing her away from him and out of the protection of the cloak.
He tossed it off, and she could see the blood welling in his mouth.
"Why?"
"You were hurting me you bastard, and blatantly I didn't want you to kiss me!"
"Because everyone knows you prefer that Slytherin,"
"How dare you!" They stood glaring at one another as the first screams echoed through the smoke and eerie flashes of light illuminated the corridor.
"I have to go; to kill Voldermort and save your skin actually, but if a kiss is too much to ask for,"
"You know it is," Ginny pulled out her wand, and stunned the Death Eater that had appeared behind Harry before wheeling about and running in to the chaos of floating debris.
Harry wiped a single tear from the corner of his eye, before slipping on his cloak and running in the opposite direction.
*Blaise*
This is like a bad dream, to walk these familiar corridors wearing a hood, to see familiar faces contorted with pain and familiar paintings blasted in two.
I just witnessed Professor Flitwick screeching profanities at a death eater before shooting a spell that caused the hood to burst into flames. Hagrid nearly crushed me, and Harry Potter himself just tried to stun me.
I narrowly avoided death at the hands of my former Divination teacher Firenze, who has an enormous quiver of arrows.
And all the time, I have been praying for just one glimpse of Ginny.
*Ginny*
She nearly fell into a Death Eater who was sprinting round the side of the corridor, and she shrieked a hex that only just missed him. He yelled something muffled by the thick clothe, and she elbowed him hard in the groin, not being able to think of another spell quick enough.
As the hooded man fell to the floor, she tried to slip past him, only for him to grab her ankle and pull her screaming back along the floor. Kicking wildly, he had to catch her in both hands as she battered him.
He was shouting, again and again, but she couldn't make out the words.
Apparently losing patience, he ripped off his hood.
"Blaise!" She screamed, and lept upright to run into his arms and kissed him hard on the mouth. He in turn flung the hood away and snatched her up in both strong arms, her feet lifting from the floor as they kissed each other in their own world.
Her eyes closed, she wrapped her legs around his waist, ignoring the screams and shouted curses that flew past them, never touching them.
When the kiss ended, his eyes were full of sadness and without words she knew what he had been instructed to do.
They gazed at one another, thinking only of the other person as the first fire painted the walls a garish orange.
