Be sure to check out my other ones. especially The End, its my fave.
Chapter 5: Betrayal The school term passed quickly with no more events, and Spike was often seen patrolling around the castle. Most of the Hogwarts students went home for the holidays and only Ginny, the Trio, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy Parkinson and 3 Ravenclaws.
Soon it was time for Christmas dinner and everyone was required to attend. Harry, Ron and Hermione were already at the hall while Ginny was dawdling from the tower. Approaching the doors to the Great Hall a shiver came over her and she got the feeling that there was something wrong.
Stopping outside the door and listening intently through the doors she drew in a quick breath.
"Is that everyone?" one voice said.
"I think so boss." A slightly more idiotic sounding voice echoed through the doors, "I'll round up the troops. We'll go hunting. I'm a bit hungry anyway."
Ginny thought quickly. By the sounds of things there were a whole heap of vamps, and everyone except her was in the great hall, captured. Ginny scanned her brain for another way into the hall and remembered the side room they used in the tri wizard tournament. Swiftly running through the corridors she came to a halt in front of the portrait of the fruit, she tickled the pear and entered the kitchens.
At once Ginny was struck by the emptiness of the kitchens. Usually there were at least a dozen house elves scurrying around. After checking the main room she proceeded onto the boiler room.
Huddled in the corner were 30 house elves, scared out of their skins. Approaching carefully she was halted when Dobby blocked her way.
"You no hurt elves. Dobby not scared of evil people."
Ginny sighed, "Dobby, its me, Ginny. Remember, Harry and Ron's friend."
"Oooooh. Miss Wheezy, you can help, brave and fearless Miss Wheezy. The bad men went that way." He pointed through a secret door in the boiler room. "That room go to Great Hall, but bad men already know that."
Ginny thought quickly. The vamps must have come here before because they seem to know their way around.
Saying a quick goodbye to Dobby she ran through the doors and into the sitting room next to the Great Hall. Peeking through a gap in the door she saw at least a dozen vamps walking around the tables and tied on top of the tables, in one group were the students, and in another were the teachers. Ginny surveyed the students group again. Hermione, Ron, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy and 3 random Ravenclaws. where were Harry and Malfoy? Changing position, what she saw made her gasp. Harry was tied to Dumbledore's throne with two bite marks on his neck. But where was Draco? Moving around a little bit more she saw him. He was standing next to. Spike! They were laughing about something and pointing at Harry.
Ginny couldn't believe she had trusted Spike, she had become so close to him in the time she as in Sunnydale, and he had betrayed her.
Feeling absolutely livid she prepared her weapons. She had a stake tucked into her boot, and one down her bra. She also had a katana hidden on her back. That should do it, she thought.
Waiting for the right moment, she inched the door open enough for her to sneak out and she dusted a vamp passing by. Creeping along the teacher's table she crept over to Harry. After tapping him on the knee she moved along.
One by one the vamps were being dusted and she was edging nearer and nearer to Spike and Draco. After dusting the final vampire she decided to make her presence known.
She stood up, dusted herself off and looked at Spike.
"Hey Spike, why wasn't I invited?" He just shrugged at her, closed his eyes and lazily said, "Now we can start the party, get her boys."
When the sound of killing did not reach his ears he looked up. She was smirking.
"Spike, you really have lost your touch. To think you didn't even notice when I killed every single one of your men."
"Yeah well, didn't need them anyway. Guess I'll just have to kill you myself."
"You wish you stupid, deceitful bastard."
Spike stood up off of the table and sauntered over to Ginny. Circling her and speaking in an almost intimate way he said, "You know, we don't have to fight. We can work together."
"How'd you do it?" she whispered, "How did you capture Dumbledore and the rest of the teachers, as well as the dream team?"
"It was easy" he said, "Because of you they trusted me. All I had to do was strike when they weren't expecting it."
Ginny pushed him aside and walked a few paces before turning around. "In answer to your previous question, HELL NO!" she screamed before sprinting and launching herself on Spike.
Spike hit the floor with Ginny's weight on him. There was scuffle and eventually he got her on her back and had her arms pinned above her head.
Before he had the chance to say anything Ginny had kicked him in the stomach, across the room and jumped up herself. Pulling out the stake from her boot she said to him, "Buffy should have done this a very long time ago."
She lunged at him but he was too quick. Spike had knocked the stake out of her hand and punched her in the stomach. Ginny decided it was high time she put this guy in his place.
Spin kicking him in the torso she knocked the breath out of him enough to give him a swift punch in the jaw. Spike recovered quickly and slammed her into one of the walls of the hall. Ginny could hardly do anything while he was mercilessly punching her face because she had the wind knocked out of her.
After getting her breath back she remembered a similar situation she had gotten herself into at the beginning of the year. Propelling herself off of spike she flipped behind him. Getting out her other stake she was a second away from staking him when she felt a hand grab her wrist. Draco pulled the stake away from her and smirked.
"I guess you're all out of weapons."
"I guess so."
Reaching up and grabbing Draco's blonde head she pulled it down to where her knee was, almost cracking his skull. She left him to slump to the floor and walked over to Spike who was casually leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth.
Panting, Ginny leaned against the wall.
"Red, why don't we just cut out this nonsense? Lord what's-his-face is going to be here soon to take the Potter kid. You're exhausted and got no weapons left. I don't want to hurt you. much."
Ginny looked up at him and smiled before swiftly pulling out the hidden katana and swiftly removing Spike's head from his body. After watching her mentor turn to dust, with a sick sort of satisfaction she giggled, and kept giggling until she reached the teachers table.
After untying the teachers she went up to see Harry.
"You've got a job to do, Mouldywart's gonna be here soon you've gotta go fulfill your destiny."
Harry just nodded before the doors to the great hall opened with a bang. Voldemort and all his cronies entered. Without saying a word he got out his wand, sighed and approached his fate.
Dumbledore had ushered everyone back to the teacher's table saying that this was Harry's battle and they were all looking on with apprehension.
They seemed to stand there for what seemed like and eternity until both wands went up and a green light engulfed the pair. All of a sudden Harry dropped his wand and Voldemort cackled. Ginny gasped as the green light got nearer and nearer to Harry until he put up his hand and created a shield.
'Wandless magic!' Ginny thought, 'Harry can do wandless magic. Just like me.'
Her thoughts were cut off as Harry increased the power and let the light engulf Voldemort. As the glare died down all the remaining students could see was a cloaked figure slumped onto the ground and another one barely able to stand.
As soon as the Death Eaters realised their master was dead they scattered and cleared the way for Ginny who, without realizing it, was running full pelt down to Harry. She got there just in time and caught him an inch before he hit the floor. As Ginny approached the bed in the infirmary which had been dubbed, "Harry's bed." She noticed it was empty. Her slayer sense went into overdrive until she saw Harry sitting, gazing out the window staring at the owls and fireworks gracing the night sky in celebration.
Walking over to him, she sat down. They sat in silence for a few minutes until he was the first one to speak.
"You know, for something that I had been dreading all my life, that was pretty lame."
"Harry, what are you on about. You just defeated the most evil wizard of our time and you call it lame."
"I know, but now what's going to happen? Who am I going to be? For ages I have been known as The-Boy-Who-Has-To-Defeat-You-Know-Who, now that he is gone, am I going to be?" Harry said dejectedly.
Ginny got up and gave him a hug. "From now on, you can be just plain, old, Harry Potter."
