R+R If you want to I guess you could get one tissue. I think that's all
you'll need. lol
Harry didn't tell anybody about what he had heard that night. All he could do was worry about who had died. If Ginny had died it would've been like losing a sister. If Cho had died he would've lost the love of his life forever. Either way he didn't want to lose the both of them. The next day when he went to go find out Madame Pomfrey wouldn't let him go in.
"Potter, I must insist that you don't come in." Madame Pomfrey said.
"For what reason?" Harry said trying to act like he didn't already know that somebody had died.
"Potter.just go back to your dormitory. A special announcement will be made tonight. Just go." She replied.
"But." He began to say.
"Potter, if you insist on going in than I suggest that you browse around and than leave alright?" she said.
Harry nodded. Madame Pomfrey moved from the door and he walked in. He walked straight through the room expecting to see curtains around one bed to represent someone had died. But there was nothing. Cho wasn't in her bed she used to be in. And neither was Ginny.
"You see? There's nothing in here for you to see. Now get on your way." She said.
Harry walked out. Completely confused and worried. What if both Cho and Ginny had died? But then again as he remembered the conversation between Madame Pomfrey and Professor Mcgonagal, he realized they were only talking about one girl. But what if one had died and the other died shortly after? Everything was spinning in his mind. So many emotions were going on at once. Harry would've given anything to forget everything in his world right now. He walked back to the Prefect Common Room as it was a weekend and no classes were going to go on. He didn't know if he should've told Ron, Samantha, Paige, or Hermione about what he heard. He kept on hearing their responses in his mind. Like Hermione's for example.
"Harry! You shouldn't have been eavesdropping! You could've been seen! You could've cost Gryffindor house points!"
And then he heard Samantha's response in his mind.
"Whoa, I would never have thought I'd see the day. When Famous Harry Potter eavesdrops. Wow." He thought about what Sam's response might be again and started to laugh slightly. He heard Paige's response in his mind next. And basically hers was the same as Hermione's. You would think Hermione and Paige were sisters. They had the same ambition, to study hard. They were practically competing for top grades. And then he heard Ron's and he knew it would only be two words.
"Bloody Hell."
He walked up to the portrait and said the password. Harry walked into the common room and saw that Samantha was fighting with Ron.
"How could you say that I ever did?!" Samantha yelled.
"Well maybe it's because you're half veela! Veela's get tempted to doing something like that!" Ron yelled back.
"But I never even touched Seamus! Ron you have to believe me!" Samantha yelled.
"But Seamus would never lie to me! Samantha, how could you just go and kiss him like that?" Ron yelled back.
Harry could see Hermione was in the depth of it all. She was trying to study for something in Potions but with all of the screaming Harry didn't know how if could've been possible. He saw Paige was peeking from the Girls Dormitory but she rolled her eyes and closed the door. Samantha looked as if she were ready to kill. Ron clenched his fists in fury.
"And you said you loved me. You have a funny way of showing it." Ron said.
Samantha than slapped him in the face. Causing Ron to go even redder than before. Harry got hold of Hermione and pulled her away before they would have to get into the fight.
"I've done nothing but love you Ronald Weasley. I never kissed Seamus. And I can't believe you can't even trust me. Your own girlfriend." Samantha said voice breaking.
With that Samantha ran up the stairs and went into the Girls Dormitory with a slam. Hermione quickly followed afterwards with her books. Ron stood there dismayed and angry. He pounded his fists on the table.
"Why did you fight?" Harry finally asked.
"Seamus told me that Samantha kissed him. Dean claimed he witnessed it." Ron replied.
"Ron, you and I both know Samantha would never do that. She loves you and you love her. Have been since we got here. What happened?" Harry asked
"I don't know ok? It's just, with all of what's happened these past few weeks I don't know who to trust anymore. Or what to believe." Ron replied
"You can trust your friends Ron. That's why we're here. You can choose to believe anything you want to. You can choose to believe Samantha. I know her. She would never do anything like this to you." Harry said.
Ron sighed and sat down in one of the chairs. He was distressed after all of what's happened to Ginny. And now all he could do was keep in anger and depression.
"Look really I would love to say sorry to Sam right now. But I can't. She probably won't talk to me." Ron said
"Well try tonight. You can't just belt out rage to someone you care for. It's not the way to do that Ron. You talk to them. And that's all you and Sam need to do. Just talk. And trust me I know she will listen." Somebody said.
It was Paige. She walked down the steps and walked over to the both of them.
"She doesn't feel like speaking to you now Ron. What ever you did you just screwed up big time." Paige said
Ron looked down to the ground feeling extremely guilty.
"She'll speak to you at dinner. Right now she's crying her eyes out. I hope you're happy." Paige said.
Paige walked away disappointed in Ron. Ron's guilt only started to build up even more. Harry looked at Ron and he knew he couldn't tell him about what he heard and was told. At this point he knew he couldn't tell anyone. Dinner was only an hour away the soon the announcement would be made. Harry had an unpleasant feeling in his stomach. He was worried and he was scared. He was starting to feel the guilt as well. What if it was Ginny who had died? It would only make Ron's life even more miserable for himself than it already was. The Weasley's have been like a family to him. Since his first year at Hogwarts they have done nothing but support him and care for him as if he was apart of the family. But having to see Ginny go from what Harry would always think to be the perfect family, he knew it would tear everyone apart. But if it was Cho, he knew his world would be upside down again. That would've been another person who he cared for dearly to die on him. Harry slapped him fists down on to the table causing Ron to jolt.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked alarmed.
Harry looked at his hands and he suddenly got up and walked up to the stairs. Ron still called after him.
"Harry what's wrong?" Ron asked again.
And still Harry didn't say anything. He couldn't say anything. All he could do was regret that he ever heard Madame Pomfrey and Professor Mcgonagal talking.
As dinnertime quickly came Harry got out of the Boys Dormitory still worried. When he got out he saw no one in the common room. He got out and he headed for the Great Hall. When he walked in he saw that Hermione and Ron were no longer sitting near Paige and Samantha. Paige and Samantha were sitting near Parvati Patil and Lavendar Brown. Every once in a while he could see that Paige was glaring at Ron. And Samantha's eyes were red and puffy. Harry took a seat across from Ron and Hermione. Hermione's eyes trailed from Ron to Samantha and than back at Harry. She had a look of worry in her eyes. For the rest of the feast everybody seemed to be eating in silence. It was sort of eerie. Harry waited and waited. He expected at any given moment Professor Mcgonagal would tap her glass for Dumbledore to make an announcement. And near the end of the feast Professor Mcgonagal tapped her glass to get the students attention.
"May I have your attention please?" she said.
Everybody in the Great Hall got quiet. And again Harry could feel a guilty pit in his stomach. Dumbledore got up from his seat eyes glistening from his moon shaped spectacles.
"Over these last few weeks, chaos has been going on around the school. With you-know-who's return it was thought to be known that students attending Hogwarts would be safe. And I assure you that you are." Dumbledore said.
"Now over these past few weeks, two victims fell into Voldemort's grasp. And I regret to say these two victims were Miss. Cho Chang of Ravenclaw and Miss. Ginny Weasley of Gryffindor."
Everybody started to chatter around. It was as if they didn't even know about Cho and Ginny ever being taking hostage. Some people were very surprised and some of the Ravenclaws were crying.
"These two young ladies have been in the hospital wing for over 3 weeks. Both in terrible critical condition. But we have someone who would like to say hello to you all again." Dumbledore said.
Everybody tried to look in through the back door as Professor Mcgonagal had opened it. A tiny shadow appeared. It was dark from where they were coming in. Harry looked over at Ron, Hermione, Paige, and Samantha. They all looked on. Finally as the light shown on Professor Mcgonagal and the figure, Harry couldn't believe his eyes and neither could anybody else in the Great Hall. They all started to chatter again. The girl was crying and she was a bit shaky.
"There was a death two nights ago. And I regret to say that we couldn't save Miss. Ginny Weasley." Professor Mcgonagal said softly.
Harry got up from his seat. And Cho slowly departed from Professor Mcgonagal. She ran over to him and they embraced. Cho cried hard into his shoulder.
"Harry it should've been me! It should have been me.." Cho cried.
Harry looked on to Paige, Samantha, and Hermione. And then he took one look at Ron and he could see there was no emotion whatsoever on his face. Fred and George just looked down to the ground both with their face in their hands.
"It should have been me. Ginny shouldn't have died. It should've been me." Cho cried again.
Cho let Harry go. She looked around to all of the people in the Great Hall. She covered her face with her hands and she ran out of the Great Hall running for the Prefect Common Room. Paige and Samantha quickly followed after her. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked out afterwards. But soon Ron was dragged away as he saw his parents with the rest of the family. And finally for the first time Harry and Hermione couldn't believe their eyes. Ron was actually crying. Harry and Hermione walked back into in the Prefect Common Room and they could see Paige and Samantha on one of the couches. Both were distraught.
"How could this have happened? H-h-how are we going to get through this?" Paige asked as she was trying to hold back her tears.
Harry and Hermione walked over to them.
"This is our reality you guys. Ginny's gone." Hermione said softly.
Paige held one of the couch pillows close to her. And tears slowly fell from her eyes. Samantha was clearly distraught. She got up and stumbled a bit. They heard soft whimpers come from her as she walked up to the Girls Dormitory.
"Sam? Are you gonna be alright?" Hermione asked as tears started to form in her eyes
"I'm not sure anymore Hermione. I'm really not sure." Samantha replied softly.
There was an awkward silence. Harry looked into the fire and one of his nightmares had actually come true. One of the people that he cared for was murdered by none other than Lord Voldemort. And it was a real reality check as Ginny was no longer there with them.
Ok I know it was sorta obvious Ginny was gonna be the one to die but still..You know I tried. Lol. Ok Please review if you have the time thanks. Chapter 16 is coming up soon. And I might end it there. It's either chapter 16 or 17 I end it. And if you guys want and please vote on this.should I make a sequel for this? All right opinions most appreciated.
