A/N: I am sorry it has taken my so long to update. I had midterms, presentations, work, and I am also student teaching. Very hectic if you ask me. This chapter is the hardest yet easiest for me to write. Don't hate me for what I do. It is necessary in the story. You will see why in the next chapter.
BIMPORTANT A/N:/B I strongly suggest that you listen to I Believe by Diamond Rio when reading this chapter. Download it and then read it, is what I would do. Trust me. Or read it, download the song and read it again.

"Avada Kadavra" Draco reflectively shouted at Blaise. As Blaise crumpled to the floor, he turned to look at Ginny. Her shield collapsed around her, leaving her vulnerable to the onslaught.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin I feel you come back again And it's like you haven't been, gone a moment from my side Like the tears I'll never cry, like the hands of time holding you and me ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
"NOOOOO!" denial ripped out of his throat. Time seemed to slow down. Something snapped inside of him. He started running toward her, adrenaline rushing through him, urging him on. Late, he was too late. Their eyes met and held as the green light hit her straight center in the chest. A single tear rolled down her cheek. Love, sadness, regret but most of all love swirled in her chocolate eyes.
Slowly, she started to fall, Draco caught her before she could hit the ground and clutched her to him. He knelt on the ground with her. His heart began to crumble into infinitely small pieces. "Ginny," he whispered, "Don't.. Don't leave me. I need you here, with me. You are everything to me. My heart, my life, my love . . . You are my soul, Ginny, without you I am nothing," He starred into her eyes willing her to live, trying to give his life to her. "Please, don't . . .' his voice broke. Tears began falling from his eyes. The pain of losing her ripped through his heart, tearing it to pieces, his body began to shake with the intense pain. "I can't lose you, not when we just found each other."
"Ginny!' he yelled at her, when she closed her eyes. He felt her cold soft hand touch his cheek, tenderly.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* And with all my heart I'm sure, we're closer than ever were I don't have to hear or see I've got all the proof I need, There are more than Angels watching over me, I believe, oh I believe ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
"Remember, Draco when," Ginny began, swallowing against the pain spreading through her, "when we first went into your dorm to practice . . . you were furious with Pansy and me . . . But Pansy gave you her puppy eyes and you relented . . . Yet you never left . . . and when Pansy couldn't make it to practice . . . You practiced with me . . . From This Moment (Shania Twain sings it). It's supposed to have been our wedding song."
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* Now when you die and life goes on, it doesn't empty when you're gone Every soul is filled with light, It never ends if I'm right, Our love can even reach across eternity, I believe, oh I believe. ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
She continued in a raspy voice, "we were always together even though apart. Our souls knew each other, although we denied it for a long time. We knew each other, we have always know each other and we will always love and know each other. Our hearts will always be together. I might die, but I will always be with you. Whether it is in this lifetime or the next, I will find you again. Never will I leave your side." Tears began to course down Ginny's cheek and she whimpered at the pain. "Believe in us, if I can I will come back to you. If I have to go to hell and back in order to be with you then I will. Believe in us."
Draco held back a sob and tightened his hold on her. Her body was turning colder. "Love," he began and tenderly brushed a lock of her fiery hair behind her ear. "I will never stop loving you. If I was a cold, cruel bastard without a heart in my body, I would recognize you anywhere. Our love is implanted in my memories for all my lifetimes. I could never mistake you for another."
Their gaze held in suspended memories. Their first kiss, their first fight and when they made up, Draco defending her from Lucius, their picnics under the starry night, their moonlight walks around the lake, simple caresses when passing each other in the hall, and the love and completeness in each other. Slowly the light in her eyes started to fade to nothingness. "I will always belong to you," he whispered. "And I to you, Draco," she mouthed. He reached down and kissed her but as soon as his lips touched hers she went limp. He drew back to star into her eyes, but the light had been wiped out forever.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* Forever you're a part of me, forever in the heart of me I will hold you even longer if I can, all the people who don't see the most and See that I believe in ghosts, if that makes me crazy than I am. Cause I believe. Oh I believe. ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," he yelled into the night sky. His voice was full of anguish and despair. "NOOOOOOOOOOO. You said you would always be with me. You . . ." Numbness began to fill his heart and spread to his body. He was empty inside, his soul and heart destroyed by a simple word, a simple curse. He stared in disbelief at her body. Her eyes were looking at him, but they were dead. She was dead and he had died with her. How? No, he shook his head. What great sin did I commit to deserve this? What did she do to for her to die? Who did I wrong that takes away the only thing that mattered to me? Is it because I am alive, is it because I am breathing that I she was take from me? Is being alive my great sin? If it is, then I would rather have never been b . . . No; I would never give up the time we spent together.
Soft, hot rain began to pour from the sky. The stars lost their bright shine and became duller. The animals in the forest broke the silence as they began to cry their song of lamentation. A heavy blanket of pain and despair filled the night air.
"Believe in us, if I can I will come back to you. If I have to go to hell and back in order to be with you then I will. Believe in us." Her words came back hauntingly in the back of his mind. A tiny ray of hope planted itself in his body. "Believe in us, believe."
He continued to stare into her eyes, and his love for her wrapped around himself and Ginny. He believed.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* There are more than Angels watching over me, I believe, oh I believe Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin I feel you come back again and I believe. ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
His Dragon Heart began to burn his skin. He took it out and stared at it. It had gone from a pale red to an effervescent red. The light radiating from it grew, at first encompassing him, then it extended to include the surrounding area. With a deep explosion night turned into day and day into night. Everything around them was blanketed in blinding light. A faint humming filled the air and slowly grew into a roar. He was lifted upwards his arms outstretched, head thrown back. Enclosed in red light.
He looked towards Ginny and his breath caught his throat. She was also suspended in the air. Pure, white light radiated around her. Above her hung the Dragon Scale. Her eyes were no longer . . .
