AN: I am very sorry for not updating this story sooner. I got pneumonia and as a result my right lung collapsed, and I had to have surgery over the summer. It is not an experience that I ever want to go through again. That is my reason for not updating it sooner. The weird thing is that I had the story finished, but fan-fiction wouldn't let me update the story. But I am very sorry, I know how it feels to be reading a story and then having the author not update it soon. This is the ending, but I will be writing a prequal, on how they meet and a sequel. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews and for reading my story. ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
His breath caught in his throat. Her eyelids were closed but there was a glowing and intense white colour emanating from them. Different shades of red ribbons laced around her in a frenzy of figures. Her hair was splayed around her. Her arms were spread apart as she hung in a crucified manner. She was a picture of ethereal beauty, suspended in time. But that wasn't what took his breath away. It was what was above her that shocked him.
Above her hung the Dragon Scale.
A faint humming started in the air, slowly gaining momentum into a thunderous roar. He was lifted upwards, his arms outstretched, head thrown back. Red light shone from him, shades of white ribbon danced around him. His whole body was alive with feeling. His senses were working on overdrive. He could smell the tension in the air, the air felt stiff, easily cut by a blade.
The Dragon Heart rose from his chest and hung suspended in the air above him. It started circling wildly, out of control. Then the Dragon Scale fastened around it, uniting the two lost parts into one.
"All hail the Dragon Heart!" A voice sounded from out of the sky.
"Hail!" a chorus of voices replied.
"All hail the Dragon Scale!"
"Hail!" resounded through the night.
"All hail The Scions of the Sacred Dragon!"
"Hail!" Thousands of voices boomed their reply. The wind howled unmercifully through the sky. The moon blinked once, twice, then thrice. Thunder crackled in the air, like a whip that has long been forgotten. Lighting illuminated the night sky.
For a complete minute time stopped. Stillness filled the land, air and water. Then red magic coupled in white shot out spherically, encompassing and lighting everything that was within a mile radius. Stunning Draco and Ginny into unconsciousness.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* *~* ~* ~* ~* ~* Slowly, Draco and Ginny were gently lowered back down to the ground. They turned to look at each other. Confusion etched in their faces.
"Draco? What just happened?" she asked him nervously. She looked around her looking for answers in places where there were none. Her eyes fell upon the still form of Blaise. Then reality struck her and everything she had gone through in the past minutes caught up to her in a sudden rush and her knees buckled underneath her. Draco caught her in his arms before she could fall. "I'm alive . . .but how?"
"I don't know what just happened. But I thank Merlin that you are alive, love." He hugged her tight, not wanting to ever let her go again.
"What happened to Blaise?" Draco turned to look at Blaise's crumbled body on the floor. He turned Ginny's head into his chest, so that she wouldn't look at his body. It was covered in erupted pimples. The intense light that had come from the magic had burned his body. He was beyond recognition. "He is dead, and won't bother us no more."
He hugged Ginny closer. The impact of what had just transpired made him tremble from the shock. Slowly he felt himself become calm and in control. He was the Dragon Heart in name, body and soul. But above all, he now had his Dragon Scale to protect him and he her. They were undefeatable; no one could stand in their way. His eyes glowed red.
'No Draco . . . We will not use our powers for our own use. There is enough evil in the world without adding to it ours. Our power is born from good and light. It will remain that way' Ginny said with conviction in his mind. 'We will stop this once and for all. And for this, no one will stand in our way. Ever. I pity the idiot that tries to stop us'
Draco snorted, 'and you insinuated I was ruthless.'
She gave him the look. 'You know what I mean.' With a deep breath she continued, 'We have to tell Dumbledore. Maybe he will know how we came about.'
'We will, don't worry, my love. But for now come walk with me to the lake. I want to be with you a while longer.'
On a second thought Ginny added, 'Do you think anyone noticed?'
Draco stared at her with an incredulous look on his face. He thought of everything they had gone through and a smile appeared in his face. It started off as a chuckle but then he started roaring with laughter.
Ginny took one look at his face and began laughing as well. She caught his eyes and hugged him to her. He nuzzled her neck with his lips, sending shivers down her spine and goosebumps appear on her arms. "I can hear you breathe," he whispered in wonder, capturing her lips in a passion filled kiss. It was full of promise, hope, love and the promise of forever.
A voice broke the silence of the night. It was powerful and commanded attention.
"Destiny has made two halves whole, and no power on earth can break it. What has now been created let it withstand time and hardships. May one not be without the other. Forever shall it remain in purity and form. This is the power of love. This is the destiny of the Dragon Redeemed."
The stars twinkled in all their glory. For this one night, all seemed right in the world. It seemed that the balance had once again righted itself. The tide had turned, Dark and Light were now equally matched.
