When the World Seems Over
Authors Note- Sorry it's been so long. Just a warning, I have to write a play for my schools drama club and its due by a certain time. I'm still going to keep the story going, but it may be a bit longer because I have to concentrate more on that. I managed to write this while in my chemistry class.
Chapter Seven- Ginny's Pendant
" It's not the same when they're not trying till each other" Ron was leaning over the chess board in the living room.
Harry grinned, " they attacked you last time".
Ron looked up and smiled, " you remember?" it had been over four years since their last game.
" Yeah" he said, " I don't have amnesia Ron".
He glanced in the other direction, " I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it" he had felt very awkward lately, even if Harry was his best friend. The mystery of the past four years was beginning to take a toll on everyone.
From the kitchen came three loud cracks, one right after the other. Ginny stormed into the room, glared at them with her bloodshot eyes, then raced to the staircase and up to the first landing.
Hermione and Molly walked in after. " What was that all about?" Ron asked.
" We ran into Malfoy in Diagon Ally" Hermione said, " he started giving her a hard time about-certain things".
Molly eyed Harry, " why don't you go and talk to her dear?".
Harry took the hint that those ' certain things' had to do with him and nodded, abandoning the game, heading towards the staircase.
" Ginny?" he softly knocked on their bedroom door, " Ginny, can I come in?". When there was no response, he went in anyways. She laid on his bed, her back to him as she faced the window, " what happened?" he sat next to her.
She closed her damp eyes, " that damn oath thinks he knows everything" she paused, " he kept saying you were a Death Eater the whole time".
" He's not one to talk".
Ginny sat up, placing her hands around his face, " tell me everything, everything that started with the third task. Please, I'm begging you".
He gazed into her pleading eyes, " I don't want to scare you".
" I went four horribly long years thinking you were dead and gone forever. Nothing you can say will possibly scare me like that".
Harry let out a long sigh, laying down next to her, " alright, I'll tell you" she scooted closer to him. " Cedric and I had decided that we'd both grab the trophy, but it was a portkey, obviously. We ended up in a graveyard, where Riddle's dad was buried. He killed Cedric in the beat of a heart".
" Voldemort" Ginny gasped.
" He knocked me out, and I woke up in the chamber, right where I had found you before. It was odd, without knowing what happened, I had a good idea that he had risen again. Voldemort put a strange spell on me, if I were to die, my body would vanish because that's what he wanted. I wanted to die, right after I was convinced I'd never see you again" he paused for a moment, " he wanted information from me, even if they were things I knew, I wouldn't say anything. He's spent his time with lost plans. Now that he had risen again, and my nightmares consisted of my parents dying again, or you".
Ginny reexamined the dark rings that were still around his wrists. They must have been bound tightly, the whole time. That was her conclusion. " How did you get away?" she managed to calmly ask.
" In May" he swallowed, " he left me, same plan for Azkaban that probably worked out. He figured I was too weak to do anything, and I agreed. But that's when I remembered I still had this" from under his shirt, he pulled out a small chain that had been around his neck, with a gold pendant that had a ruby stone in the center. It was his birthstone, and she had given it to him the night before the third task. Ginny gazed at it as he went on. " It was the only thing that gave me enough will power to try and get it out of there, if I were to die trying, I was going to die one way or another. I used the levitation charm once I got below the entrance, figures he'd have enough faith to leave me my wand. I should apologize to Dumbledore for the hole in the girls lavatory floor".
She shot upwards, " May? That was a month before you came here!".
Harry tangled a lock of her hair between his fingers, " the last thing I wanted was for Voldemort to follow me here".
" He knows you're here".
" He thinks I'm dead".
Ginny wasn't going to give in to those green eyes that easily, " but he's so powerful, he could find you with his eyes closed if he wanted to".
He sat up and kneeled onto the floor, " Virginia Weasley, I promise you with everything in the world that I will never let anything harm you, for the rest of my life, for the rest of your life, forever".
Tears slowly dwelled in her eyes as a smile crept across her lips, " never say forever".
