We don't own Harry Potter. Also, this story is finished, we just have to finish messing with it and then we will upload the last few chapters. We also have an idea for a sequel, which is mentioned at the very end. If you want us to write it please let us know...otherwise we won't bother.

"NO!"

The end of Lucius' wand fizzled with a green light before going out. Both men looked at the wand in confusion before Lucius lifted it up again.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Still nothing happened. Lucius continued to try to use the Unforgivables but none seemed to work.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Tori walked up and looked at the confused man. "You know, Malfoy, you really are a dumb shit."

She walked up and ripped the wand out of Lucius' hands. "Hey!"

"Did you really think that those silly Unforgivables were going to work now? Please."

Lucius glared at the girl. Severus stood there with Gin in his arms. She wasn't moving at all, except for the gentle movement of her chest indicating that she was still breathing.

"What are you talking about Ms. Miller?" Severus asked with narrowed eyes.

"The Unforgivables were created by our Light Element, there in your arms Severus, when the Dark Element, yours truly, killed her centuries ago. She came back and used each one that she had created on me in turn. Imperio, mind control, was used so that I would kill the man that we had both fallen for, the entire reason why we were fighting. After that, she caused me unending pain, Crucio, for three days, until she got tired of hearing me beg for death. I'd killed her through pain myself, but it had had a release, hers did not, which made it all the worse. Finally, she released me to death, Avada Kedavra, death of the tainted one, and used it on herself.

"In doing all of this, she not only exacted her revenge, she also protected us for all time from ever being harmed by any of these curses while giving us the ability to use them as well. However, neither of us, as a separate entity, could ever remove them from existence. We had to be together, and we had to resolve our differences.

"The past had to be recreated. The main difference is that she truly believed that the man she loved didn't fall for her, as in the original story, but for me. This changed the story enough that we were able to finally work through the mistakes of the past. Because I never really had any feelings for you Severus, the Light Element was able to work through that hate easier. By working through the hate, and her own insecurities, she reversed the dark magic used to create the Unforgivables." She took a step forward to Severus. "Sorry about all the trouble we…I mean I caused, even though it had to be done to get us all to this point. In reality I believed that I was pushing the Light Element as I'd done in the past.

"And now that Gin finally has the man that she loves in her life, and I'm not vying for his attention, she is free to be her true self, and I am free to live the life that I was meant to live. And no one ever has need to worry about the Unforgivables because they no longer exist in this world. While they may remain in our minds, and some hearts, they no longer have any power."

Tori smirked before tossing the wand back to Lucius. Then she pointed her finger at him and muttered a word under her breath. Seconds later he was trapped, bound by the straps created by Tori.

"Now, I'm done with the clean-up," she said with a smile. Severus nodded before taking the girl in his arms down into the dungeons.

He passed a few other members of the Order as he rushed down to his rooms. Ginifer still hadn't awoken and he was growing increasingly worried. Chances were that the power surge she expelled drained her and knocked her out.

Muttering his password, Severus quickly moved into his common room. He laid Gin down on his couch before standing and lighting the fire.

Once the room was lighted by the fire, Severus turned back to the girl on his couch.

The firelight illuminated her nicely, giving her a slight glow. He moved over to the couch and sat next to her prone form. "Wake up Ginifer,' he said quietly. "Please open your eyes."

He leaned down next to her so he was closer to her. "About everything you said before, about your prom date. He must have been an idiot to treat you like this. You should be with someone like me. Someone who knows you as well as you know them, someone who cares about you despite everything, someone who will love you no matter what happens." The girl's eyes fluttered, but Severus didn't notice.

"You deserve to be with me Ginifer. I don't think I'm good enough for you and yet you want me anyway. I care about you, I know you better than almost anyone. You remind me of myself in so many ways. Please, wake up."

Seconds later Tori, Tom, Harry, and Dumbledore came rushing into the office. In Dumbledore's hands was the book, the same that Ginifer had held in her hands the first time he met her.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Severus, we have a problem," Dumbledore said seconds before Tom caught Tori as she groaned in pain.

"What's going on?" Severus said to Tom. He looked up at Snape with sadness in his eyes.

"We don't know."

Tori looked up at Snape, her eyes wide with fear. Her hair and clothes were constantly in motion, changing rapidly from dark to light and then back again.

Snape narrowed his eyes. Something about the clothes was familiar. "Severus!"

Snape turned rapidly to Harry's voice. He was standing next to Ginifer, whose clothes and hair were also changing. She was groaning in pain and he quickly moved to take her into his arms when his hand fell right through her body.

He pulled his hand back in shock. "What the hell is this?"

"And with their work completed, the two girls then traveled back to their time, a place they had long since forgotten and a time that had never aged."

All eyes fell upon Dumbledore as he read these words. He closed the book, walked forward, and placed the book on Gin's now solid chest before lifting her prone arms and wrapping them around the book.

"I'm sorry Severus…and you too Tom," Dumbledore said as both Gin and Tori began to fade in and out.

Tori lifted her hand to Tom's face, but her hand traveled right through his head. "I am afraid that their time in our world has ended. It is time for them to return home."

"What? No!" Tom said trying to pull Tori into his arms. He couldn't grab her as she was now completely see-through, just like the ghosts of the school. Tori looked at Tom with tears in her eyes.

"Tom," she whispered, but her voice was barely heard.

Severus turned to Gin. She was dressed just as she was when he first saw her. She was beautiful and radiant and as he tried to grab her, he too realized her couldn't stop the magic that was pulling her away from him.

He leaned down close to her.

"Ginifer, no matter where you go, no matter what it takes, I swear that I will find you again."

Tori looked at Tom with tears rolling down her cheeks. Tom tried to wipe them away, but found that even her tears couldn't reach him.

"I love you Victoria," he said, seconds before her eyes widened and both she and Gin disappeared.

Tori looked around the room, Gin's bedroom. Gin was sleeping in her bed, in her arms the copy of the book they had just read. Taking it from her hands Tori quickly skipped to the ending.

"Tom and Snape looked at each other, their hearts filled with sadness. Never before had such an emotion filled either of them.

"Harry and Dumbledore found it hard to watch the scene, so they left the two men alone in their musings.

"'Will they be alright?' Harry asked. Dumbledore looked down at the boy with sadness in his usually twinkling eyes.

"'Someday Harry. Someday when they find a way back to their elementals they'll be happy again. Until that time comes, let's let them grieve.'"

The book ended there. It took all of Tori's strength to not throw it against the wall and smash it. But no matter what may have happened, Gin's books were Gin's and she was sure once she awoke the girl would wish to destroy the book herself.

Gin yawned, drawing Tori's attention, before sitting up and looking about the room confused.

"Oh, good Gin, you're awake," Tori said with a smile.

Gin turned to her and smiled back, almost like she had never been angry with her in the first place. "Sorry I fell asleep."

"It's okay…" Tori blinked. She had expected an apology from Gin about trying to kill her, but falling asleep.

"You must have been so bored while I just snoozed the night away. I'm sorry. However I have the most amazing dream to tell you. You and I were pulled into the book and ended up in Professor Snape's potions class…"

For the next half-hour Ginifer described her dream, every detail of their adventure, with perfect accuracy. Tori kept smiling and nodding, but inside she felt sad. Gin thought this was all a dream and that none of it had happened.

"Wouldn't that make an amazing fanfic? I would totally love to write it." Gin looked at herself in the mirror next to the bed and noticed that all the work they had done on her hair for the prom was for nothing.

Tori nodded as she handed Gin her brush. "It would, but right now we have to get ready. No offense, but that dream must have been good because now you have horrible bed-head."

Gin smiled as she began to brush the newly formed tangles out of her hair.

After about twenty minutes the doorbell rang. Gin paused in her movements and looked back at Tori. "Your date's here."

Tori smiled to give off the illusion of happiness, but inside she knew that this wasn't the right guy for her. He was miles away from her, trapped within the confines of a book.

Tori walked out of the room and down the small hallway before standing before the door. She took a deep breath before placing a fake smile upon her face. She turned the knob and opened the door.

"Hello, …Tom?"
