Chapter 7: Fright Night
"So, what do we do now?"
"I don't know, maybe we should go look for Hermionie and Draco."
"But, Harry, there are snakes out there." A sudden terror came into her large blue eyes.
Harry got up and walked to the window. He slowly pulled back the leaf that was covering the window. He sighed when he saw nothing, not even imprint- lines in the sand that snakes would have made. "Ginny, there's nothing out there." He was pretty sure that there never was anything out there, but he wasn't gonna tell Ginny this.
"Alright then." She stood up to leave, but found that she couldn't, she was too afraid. At least, that was, until Harry slipped a reassuring hand into her own. She looked up at him. "Thanks."
"Any time." He smiled. "Where to start? Hmmm." He looked around and decided that they should go into the trees nearby. He slowly pulled her through the trees, when suddenly he was being pulled backward and down. "Woah!" He turned around to see the hole that Hermionie and Draco had fallen through. He grabbed Ginny's other hand and attempted to pull her out of the hole.
When he'd finally managed to get her out of the hole, she sat down and clutched onto her ankle, she'd twisted it when she stepped on the edge and fell into the hole. "Are you okay?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, my ankle just really hurts." She moaned just in the slightest, but tried to put on a brave face.
Harry gave her a hand up. "Do you think that you can walk?"
She really didn't think so, but she didn't want to look weak so she said, "I think I can." So he started walking away their hands still interlocked. Every time that she would put any pressure on her ankle it felt like someone was shoving a pair of scissors into it. This made the process of walking very slow and hard on Ginny, plus every time that she took a step with that foot she would take in a sharp breath.
"I don't think that you're okay. Are you sure you'll manage."
"Yeah." But as she took a step next to him she winced.
"That's it! You're not walking in this condition."
"What condi- TION?" She cried out as he swept her up and carried her, her arms around his neck and him with a hand on her back and one under her knees.
"Hey, you're pretty light!" He commented. She blushed and wasn't sure how to respond.
~ 20 Minutes Later ~
Harry looked up at the sky, which had gotten amazingly dark. "Wow, hey, it's night already."
"Really?" She'd been too busy to concentrate on anything other than his gorgeous green eyes. On impulse she reached out and played with some of the hair framing his face, noticing that his scar was peaking through this hair.
Suddenly, as she stared at his scar, it seemed to illuminate for about half of a second. He crumpled down onto the ground, with Ginny under him. He moaned; she looked up at him worriedly. "Harry," She paused, "are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think so. My scar just hurt for a minute." She leaned up and kissed his forehead, this was when he realized that he was lying on top of her. "Oh, I'm so sorry." He apologized hastily and started to move.
"It's okay, you were in pain." She half smiled at him, unsure how he'd take that.
"Thanks." He leaned down and pressed his mouth to hers. The smile was wiped off of her face as he kissed her more forcefully, her head pressed into the dirt. She reached up and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck, pulling her to him. A startled noise crept out of her throat as he pried he lips open with his tongue. Then he slid it expertly out of his mouth and into hers. She moaned, this was too good to be true.
Ginny's world was spinning; she was swallowed up in a whirlpool of confusion. One minute she was home wishing she was with Harry, then she's some strange place, then Harry shows up, then she's back inside the Chamber from her second year, then she's being kissed by Harry, then she's being carried by him, then she's under him, and finally she's kissing him again.
She heard a moan, was that her? She smiled as well as she could, embarrassed. Harry felt her smile and this seemed to inspire him more. She heard something in the trees behind them, but ignored it, Harry hadn't seemed to hear it, plus it was probably just a bird. Then she heard it again; it was a loud crunch. "H-, H-, Har-, HARRY!" She shouted when she couldn't get it out because her mouth was being obstructed.
Harry looked up at her, he actually looked a little irritated. "I just heard something weird." He just shrugged and went back to kissing her. "Harry!" She told him giggling, "I'm a little worried. Not that this isn't nice." She grinned. "Just check it out for me. If it's nothing we can come right back to this."
"Fine, stay right here. Don't move."
'Wow," Ginny thought, 'he's gotten awfully forward.' Then she smiled to herself, 'But I can't say that I hate it.' She rolled over and looked into the trees to where Harry'd gone. "HARRY?" she called.
"It's nothing." He replied coming back. He sat down next to her and put an arm around her, then looked down. "Where were we?"
He leaned down, but before he could kiss her again she asked, "It's gotten really dark hasn't it?"
He looked around and shrugged. "I g." He was trying to say "I guess." But just at that moment something burst out of the bushes at them. It was a green translucent floating figure. The same one that had been in Ginny earlier, she clutched at Harry. He tightened his grip on her. She looked up at him, ready to whisper her thanks, but found that he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at Voldermort. Against her will she found herself looking at Voldermort as well. She felt something in her stomach that felt like a five pound frozen rock. Harry pulled his wand out of his pocket and whispered the spell that would send it away. But he missed as the thing flew at him, then went off right past him and Ginny.
As they watched it fly away Harry remarked, "That can't be the end of it." Right after he said that they heard a rustle in the bushes behind them. They turned around but saw nothing. Ginny grabbed Harry's hand. Then they heard a rustle to their right. Harry put his arm around Ginny's waist. Then another sound to their left. It sounded like something big. Ginny looked up at Harry. "Thank you." Ginny told him.
"For what?"
She stretched up and kissed him. He looked down at her, "No, thank you."
They heard something behind them again, and as they whirled around they heard an echoing raspy voice, Harry recognized it. Ginny looked up at him, confused. "You-know-who." Ginny clutched him harder, and he tried his hardest to comfort her.
The voice was saying, "Aw, how sweet, so I get to dispose of 'the great' Harry Potter and his girlfriend."
Harry looked up at the dark sky and glared, there was the green figure. "You haven't gotten rid of me in the past 14 years, and you won't now."
"Well, we'll see about that." Then the thing flew away, Harry kept glaring at the spot until he felt Ginny squeeze his chest and shout in fright.
He looked down and words failed him as three enormous creatures emerged from the trees. He remembered back to his D.A.D.A. (a/n: Defense Against the Dark Arts) classes, but it didn't help him. These were three of the most deadly creatures there were.
To their right was a Chimera, it's lion-head was roaring, it's giant dragon- tail swishing back and forth. It's eyes shone with a bloodthirsty sheen.
To their left was an even scarier Manticore, it's scorpion-tail was darting to and fro, and it's head, was both human and inhuman at the same time.
In front of them was a Quintaped, Harry could tell that it smelled them. It's red hair was bristling, as it realized that there were humans (preferred prey) around.
All Harry could do was whip out his wand, but he knew that it was useless, only one person had killed a Chimera, there were no known recordings of killed Manticores, and Quintapeds supposedly have wiped out a whole island of trained wizards.
He looked down at Ginny, kissed her lightly, and whispered, "At least I can die as happy as I can in these circumstances." Ginny looked up at him as if to ask 'Well, is that it then?' "But don't worry, I'll go down protecting." He looked into her eyes. ".The one I love." Ginny let go and took her wand out of her pocket, she inteded to help him, no matter what.
** Awwwwwwwww, how sweet. Okay sorry I couldn't resist putting a bit of mush into this story. (Okay, Okay, a lot.) Thank you everyone, I hope you liked it. Please tell me what you think, and if you're bored, please read my other stories. Thanks all **
