Hermione smirked. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Blaise Zabini, greatest of the Hogwarts whores. So nice to see you again."
Blaise turned red with fury. "How dare you speak to me that way, Mudblood," she hissed.
"She does cause she can," Sahki piped up.
"You are nothing but a mere Hawaiian on the run. I thought we finished you, girl," Draco spoke up. "You've been evading us all this time."
"Correct, Malfoy. However, you're just a little too late in that presumption. You couldn't kill me if you tried."
"Could too."
"Could not."
"Could too."
"Could not."
An all out verbal war between Draco and Sahki sprung up, and in the middle of this, Ginny screamed "STOP!"
The entire gym fell silent. Ginny turned and looked at Draco. "Now, I'm only going to ask this once, and you sure as hell better tell me the answer. Where's my daughter?"
Draco Malfoy paled. "Um," he said as he cleared his throat. "I don't know."
"WHAT?" Ginny screached. "LIKE HELL YOU DON'T KNOW! MY DAUGHTER IS SOMEWHERE ON THIS GOD FORESAKEN ISLAND, AND I AM POSITIVE YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS!"
Draco snickered. "Calm yourself, woman. We'll find you daughter, as soon as we've finished you off. She'd make a good servant for the Dark Lord. Follow in her 'father's' footsteps, just like me."
"You unimaginable bastard,"Ginny hissed through her teeth.
"You weren't saying that that night back in March," Draco said lowly, so only she could hear.
Ginny reared her head back and spit in Draco's face.
"Score one for Ginny!" Sahki exclaimed in triumph.
"Enough!" Blaise said above everyone. She turned to face Hermione. "Granger, I challange you to a witches duel. Do you accept?"
Hermione held her head up high. "I accept, and my second shall be Sahki," she said with a confidence she wasn't feeling.
"Padma will be mine," she said, as Padma Patil stepped out from the row of Death Eaters lining the gym.
Hermione gulped. 'Sahki, please be there to back me up,' she thought.
'I'm right here,' Sahki said through mental waves.
Blaise smiled. "Now, we duel." **************************************************************************** ***************
Emily Weasley/Malfoy wandered through the halls of the school, a silent angel searching for someone.
"Mommy?"
She heard raised voices coming from inside the gym. She padded her little feet over to the door and barely peaked inside.
"Daddy?" **************************************************************************** ***************
Harry sat in the crowd watching the scene play out before him. Three girls he didn't really know, but were here to protect him, were risking their lives for him, against the ones out to kill him.
'I feel so helpless,' he thought. 'I'm usually Mr. Tough Stuff, but now I feel like nothing. What can I do?'
His eyes flickered around the gym, and something caught his eye. The little silver haired girl he had seen at the memorial service was peeking in the gym.
'That's that girl's daughter,' he thought. 'How can I get to her?' he wondered.
Harry slipped underneath the bleachers and dropped to the floor silently. He crouched down and prayed that no one could see or hear him.
He made his way over to the door and slipped out without anyone noticing. He looked down at the little girl.
She gazed up at him. "Harry Potter," she said excitedly.
"So I'm told."
"Emily," she said and held her arms up to him, expecting him to pick her up, which he did.
"Mommy," she said, pointing to Ginny.
"And Daddy," she said, pointing to Malfoy. **************************************************************************** ***************
It starts with one One thing, I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, but didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried, It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall, to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so [far] Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end
I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know

Blaise raised her wand. "Bow Granger. Be polite and show your courtesies to death. Come now, bow." Hermione remained stiff as a statue.
Blaise growled at her. "If that's the way you want to be, I guess I'll just kill you quicker."
Hermine grinned and raised her wand. "If you wish to be foolish, that is your choice. But don't say I didn't warn you," she said as sparks shot out of her wand and wrapped themselves around Blaise.
"Expeliarmus!" she cried and pointed her wand at the now bound girl. Blaise's wand flew from her hand into Hermione's.
Blaise cried out in pain as the now cords wrapped tighter around her arms, legs, and throat.
"Damn you Granger," were her last words as Blaise Zabini left this world.
"Go with God," Sahki said, and crossed herself.
Ginny looked at her. "When did you find religon?"
"When you made me come here," she replied with a smile. **************************************************************************** ***************
