Bahahahaha. This story has taken an interesting twist to finish out. Unfortunately, after this there will only be two (possibly three) more chapters. It depends on how lengthy they get.

With no further commentary, here is The Second Ending, Part 1


Chapter 25

HARRY

I made my way to the forest. As I walked I saw Ginny crouching over a girl, comforting her.

"I want my mum," the girl cried.

"It's all right. It's okay. We're going to get you inside," Ginny comforted.

"But I want to go home! I don't want to fight anymore," the girl was now sobbing.

"I know," and I heard Ginny's voice break, "It's going to be all right."

Then Ginny knelt over the injured girl and held her hand. I wanted to let her know that no one else would have to be hurt. I wanted to hold her, but I had to press on. I saw Ginny look around as if she'd heard something, but I couldn't stop.


GINNY

I didn't know this little girl. She was in Ravenclaw, the year below me, and she had come back to fight. Now she was lying next to me, crying, bleeding, in more pain than I could bear to watch. As I held her hand, I thought I heard rustling near me. I looked around but didn't see anyone. When I looked back at the girl, the light had faded from her eyes. I started to cry. This young girl had died and I didn't even know who she was. As I let her hand go, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Ginny, love," that voice was the only thing that could comfort me, "Ginny, it's going to be okay."

"Oh, Draco, I don't even know who she is," I wanted to throw my arms around him, but I couldn't see him. "Draco, where are you?"


DRACO

Stupid disillusionment charm. "Oh, hold on," I said quickly. I removed the charm just in time for Ginny to wrap her arms around me. She was crying. I could only hold her.

"Draco, why does this have to happen? Why is he doing this?"

"Because Tom has no sympathy and feels nothing for anyone," I said, "You know that better than anyone."

"I know, but it has to stop," she wiped her eyes, "It has to end tonight."

"You're right, Ginny," I said, "This has to end." Now was the moment I was dreading. I had to break up with this beautiful woman. I wanted to marry her, but as long as I was in her life, she'd never be safe.

"Then let's end it," she said. Oh, she didn't understand. I didn't want to do this. But I had to. She had to be safe. And for that reason, I spoke words I regretted.

"We're done, Gin," I whispered.

"What?"

"We're through. We can't be together anymore."

"Why? When we've overcome so much?"

"Ginevra," she cringed as I snarkily replied, "You've been a delight, but I need to be with someone I can spend the rest of my life with. You're just not her," she stepped back and stared at me. This was killing me. But I couldn't let her risk her safety just to be with me.

"Draco, I don't understand," she whispered, "I thought you loved me. You told me I made your life worth living. That was what? A lie?"

"Exactly," I smirked. She was getting angry and I hated seeing her upset. She was about to hate me, and I needed her to hate me completely. So I uttered the words that I wished I could take back. "Tell me, Weaslette, in what world would we have worked? I mean, I'm a pureblood, and you're a blood-traitor. That's barely a step above mudblood."

"Well, ferret," I cringed, "I guess I now see where we stand. So you can just leave now. Go run off and join your death eater parents, and I will keep fighting for the good side."

"Fine," was all that needed saying. She wasn't done yet, though, and I couldn't blame her.

"But if we meet on the battlefield, Malfoy, you better watch your back because I won't be taking it easy on you," she said as she walked away from me for the last time. I decided at that moment that I wouldn't fight later. I knew she meant it, and I didn't want to fight her. I turned and made my way back to the castle, knowing that I'd just killed my chance at love.


GINNY

I hated him. I hated him. I hated him. I hated Draco Malfoy. He had destroyed the only thing that made my life worth living. I couldn't imagine loving anyone ever again. I really hoped I wouldn't meet him on the battlefield. I didn't want to fight him, but if I had to, I'd make sure he felt all the pain he'd caused me.

I thought nothing could make me feel worse than I did at that moment. Lupin was dead. Tonks was dead. Colin was dead. And Fred…Fred would never joke again. And now Colin had taken my secret to the grave for nothing. Because Draco had killed me. I no longer had anything to live for.

Then the death eaters came in a triumphant march. They had Hagrid with them. He was carrying something. It looked like a body. Who else could die? Then Tom spoke.

"Harry Potter is dead."

That's when I knew it was all over for me.

"No!" I shouted. Harry was the only one who could stop Tom, and now he was gone too.

Moments passed where I decided something. I knew that my life was over and I would go out fighting. Then all of the sudden Neville rushed Tom and cut off the head of the snake. I didn't understand, but apparently Tom did. He was outraged. Then we were all fighting again. We ran into the Great Hall and battled for our lives.

Luna, Hermione, and I were all battling Bellatrix Lestrange. She was good. I figured that she must have trained Draco because they had similar fighting styles. The thought of Draco distracted me and I barely had time to dodge one of Bellatrix's killing curses. Then I heard something I thought I'd never hear.

"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"

My mother had entered the fight.


DRACO

I sat there with my family as I reflected on what had happened. Molly Weasley finished off my aunt. It had taken all my self restraint not to cheer. And Potter, who lived again, took down Tom. I owed him. He had destroyed both people who had hurt my Ginny. Except me; he hadn't taken me out yet. He had saved my life. He even returned my wand.

We sat there, not knowing if we should stay or go. We had been given pardon by Kingsley Shacklebolt, the temporary Minister of Magic, but I didn't care. All that meant was that I had broken her heart for nothing, and now it was too late.

I had to change this back somehow.


So, if you read the first ending, then to answer your question, yes, this is almost exactly the same as Part 1 of the first ending. But oh, just you wait. For the rest of you, I hope you enjoyed this part.
