Chapter 6: Death and Spirits
~~~~~~~~
Last Chapter-
"Avada Kedavra!" Dumbledore shouted, waving his wand.
~~~~~~~~
A green light came shooting out of Dumbledore's wand and hit Lavender right in the chest. Ron heard her scream and saw her body go limp in the chains that tied her.
"No!" Ron yelled and ran to her side. But Dumbledore held out his wand, stopping Ron.
"And where do you think you're going? You're next" Dumbledore said, smiling viciously. He had just lifted his wand, when something strange happened.
A bright light came from were Lavender's body was. Dumbledore and Ron both turned around and were shocked to see that a silvery-white ghost coming out from her dead body.
It was the spirit of Lavender Brown. She looked like the normal Lavender, except transparent. She floated over, and landed in front of Ron, blocking him from Dumbledore.
"What is this?" Dumbledore exclaimed, taken aback. "You can't save Mr. Weasley. You're just a ghost." Dumbledore said, the evil smile creeping it's way back onto his face.
Determined that nothing could stand between him and death, Ron prepared himself for the worst as Dumbledore lifted his wand. Ron could see Dumbledore's wicked eyes through the spirit of Lavender.
"Avada Kedavra!" Dumbledore yelled. Ron could see a green light coming right at him. But instead of going through Lavender's ghost, it bounced off of her and back at Dumbledore. With a horrible scream, Dumbledore fell, and died before he hit the ground.
Ron was a little shaken, and it took him a few moments to pull his thought together. Lavender's spirit turned to face him, she was smiling.
"Are you going to be okay?" Her spirit asked.
"I donno." He said, looking at Lavender's dead body.
"I only have a few moments." She said. "I just came back to help you. Use the Alohamora charm to undo Harry's chains. Then carry him to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey can take care of him. Run down to Professor McGonagall's office and tell her about Dumbledore and where his body is. Make sure to tell her everything that he told you." Lavender's ghost said. "Oh, and tell my parents that I love them."
"Lavender, I'm so sorry." Ron said truthfully. "I never meant to-"
"I know. It's okay, I forgive you." She said with a smile. "I love you Ron, I always will."
"I love you too." He said.
"Do me one more favor." Lavender said. "Tomorrow, ask Hermione on a date."
Ron looked shocked. "But-"
"I know that she fancies you. Just because I hate her doesn't mean I don't want her to be happy." She said, but Ron looked apprehensive. "Believe me, it will work. I can see the future, remember?" She said with a laugh. "I just want you to be happy."
"Thank you." Ron said.
"Go on now." Lavender said with a warm smile, as she started to disappear. "Save the day, Ron. I'll be watching." And she was gone.
The next day was one of Ron's hardest. Everyone at school wanted to know what happened, but Ron only told Harry and Hermione. But he did as she told him, and asked Hermione to be his girlfriend. It turned out that Lavender was right, him and Hermione were a great couple.
Two days later, it was Lavender Brown's funeral. Everyone at school attended, even the Slytherins. After it, everyone gathered into the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall stood up and cleared her throat for silence.
"I must admit, the first time I saw Ms. Brown I was a bit skeptical about her magical abilities. But she had something that few people have." Professor McGonagall said. "She had a good heart. Ms. Brown helped to save Mr. Potter's life from a person no one would suspect. She also saved the life of someone she deeply loved." Professor McGonagall said, turning her tearful eyes toward Ron. "Even after she died, Ms. Brown protected this person from someone of pure evil. I am sure that most of you don't know what really happened." She said. "And you never will. Just know that Lavender Brown used every ounce of her energy to save the lives of two very special students. And remember her lively spirit and warming smile that use to fill our halls with happiness." Professor McGonagall said, dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief. "Remember Lavender Brown, who will be greatly missed by all."
Ron looked around the crowd through watery eyes. He saw Parvati, Lavender's best friend, with tears falling freely down her face. Seamus and Dean were next to her, trying to comfort her, but constantly whipping their own eyes. Ron's eyes drifted over to Hermione who, to his surprise, was crying openly. All of her hate toward Lavender seemed to be gone.
Ron looked up to were the teacher's were, and saw that everyone seemed to have their eyes downcast, hiding their red and watery eyes. Even Professor Snape was emotional; he was blinking constently and wouldn't look at anyone.
Then Ron's eyes wandered to an empty chair, in the middle of the teacher's table. It was the spot that was normally filled with Professor Dumbledore. Ron wasn't surprised that their wasn't a funeral for him, and he was happy about it.
As Hermione held his hand, Ron knew that something didn't feel right. He knew that Lavender wanted him to be happy and to move on from her, but Ron didn't know if he could live without Lavender. The wind blew, and Ron could have sworn that he smelled her in the air. This made him remember that Lavender was still with him, and always would be.
