Chapter Nine

(A/N: This chapter is at Godric's Hollow. This is a chapter that is like, what happened at Godric's Hollow while Harry and Ginny were at least trying to get there.)

It was 16 years since that horrible night, but the people in Godric's Hollow still feared another attack like the ones on the Potters. Ask anyone, and they will tell you the story of how a dark figure, tall and slim, took the lives on Lily and James Potter, leaving poor Harry, their only child without parents. But little did these people know, history was about to try to repeat its self.

The night was cold, and three-day-old snow lay on the ground. The former spot of the Potter house lay covered in snow, but a man with silvery hair was constructing something. He busied himself with a stick, and in minutes, a shelter was made. Then, suddenly, three more figures seemed to appear out of nowhere. "My Lord," the silver haired man murmured, and fell to the ground worshiping one of the figures that had just appeared.

"Did you construct the shelter as told, Lucius (sp)?" The tallest person of the group said angrily.

"Yes my Lord," He said, "Not a soul could hear the screams."

"Do not forget her purpose. You will have your time when I am done." The figure hissed. "Wormtail!" The man barked, "Bring our dear friend here. She is of much use to me." The man named Wormtail took the fourth person and brought her to his master. "Do you know who I am girl?" The man sneered.

The girl took one look at him and cried out. "NO!" She looked over to the silver haired man. "HE DIDN"T!" She cried. "NO! THIS ISN'T TRUE! HE WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ME! HE LOVES ME!" She cried.

"SHUT UP GIRL!" The tall man screamed. "Do you know who I am?" He screamed in her face. The poor girl just nodded her head. "Who am I?"

"Voldemort." She whispered. The girl began to shake he was frightened

"Very good you mudblood. You are not here concerning Draco. You are here concerning you dear friend. Harry." The girl shook harder, they were using her to get to Harry. She couldn't let this happen. Then suddenly, another figure jumped out from behind the shelter that was made earlier.

"HERMIONE!" The person screamed. It was Draco. He had come to save her. "Draco! What a surprise my son! Would you like to assist in the killing of your girlfriend? You know I will kill her anyway." Lucius said, welcoming his son.

"No!" Draco screamed, and ran to Hermione. He grabbed Hermione, and tried to make a run for it, but Voldemort stopped him.

Harry and Ginny went flying through several fireplaces connections, until at last; they reached Godric's Hollow. They fell out if the fireplace there, and into a dismal little shack. It was made out wood, and looked like it could fall apart at any moment. Then, from outside the shack came a scream. "HERMIONE!" The two ran out side into the cold. Harry could have died from the pain coming from his scar. Ginny looked around her. Lucius Malfoy and Wormtail were both standing in the snow, and Draco Malfoy was holding Hermione, and Voldemort stopped them from going anywhere. Lucius turned around and said, "Well, my Lord, it would seem that we have guests." Voldemort looked over his shoulder, and smiled.

"How nice of you to join us! Now, Harry, it will all end now." Voldemort walked over to him, and said, "Do you know what this place is Harry? This is Godric's Hollow. Your parents died here. In this very spot. And you will die here too." Voldemort laughed his evil, high-pitched laugh that sent shivers up Ginny's spine.

"Ginny," Harry whispered, "Stay put. Don't move." Ginny nodded, watching Harry. He pulled out his wand, and said, "So, Voldemort, how are you these days?" He said, trying to keep talking, to ensure he stayed alive longer. "You aren't going to be doing to well after tonight, hopefully." He said, confidence in his voice.

"Don't you wish that it would turn out that way." Voldemort said. He advanced on Harry. "Avada K."

Harry mustered up all the hate he could inside of him. All his hate towards Voldemort. For killing his parents, innocent people, Sirius, and many others. "CURIO!" Harry cried.

Instead of shrieking out in pain, Voldemort laughed. "Now. You should know that doesn't work on me. You foolish boy." Then, a thought struck Harry. He has one thing Voldemort doesn't. It dawned on him. Love. Voldemort was full of hatred, and didn't have any love in him. The only thing that could stop him was love. But, Harry just needed a way to show it. Harry had an idea. He needed to show Ginny that he loved her. Harry screamed, "EXPERAMERUS!" And sent Voldemort's wand flying. Voldemort turned around to get his wand, when Harry ran for Ginny. There was a rock on the ground, and Harry tripped over it, causing himself to cut his leg. Blood started to pour out of his leg, but that wouldn't stop him from getting to Ginny.

"Ginny!" He said. Harry stood beside her. He took her hand and held it. "Ginny, I love you." She looked at him, like he was crazy. "I love you." She looked at him, and began to cry.

"I love you too. I just never realized it, until I saw you over there, trying to kill Tom Riddle." Harry bent down to her eye level.

"Don't cry." He said, and kissed her soundly on the lips. Voldemort turned around, and looked at the two.

"NO!" He screamed. "NO YOU CAN"T STOP ME!" The air around Harry and Ginny began to glow gold. He wrapped his hands around her waist, like he did in the broom closet. And made the kiss more intense. She moved her hands up to the base of his neck. He broke away, to get some air and saw what was happening, he looked at Ginny and said, again, "I love you Gin." He said, and kissed her again. Their love for each other made the air glow a brighter gold, and Voldemort was crying out in pain. He was melting, and dieing. Then, finally, the last shriek could be heard, and he was gone.

The two Deatheaters stared at the place their leader once stood. Lucius Malfoy looked at Hermione. I'll kill you. He advanced on her. Draco stood in front of Hermione. "You'll never kill her. I won't let you."

"Stupid boy. I can get another heir. I never like you anyway. Avada." But Draco screamed beat him to the killing curse.

"Avada Kedava!" He yelled. Killing his father. Lucius took one good look at his son before he died.

"Oh my god! I killed my father!" Draco said, looking at his fathers limp body.

Ginny looked up at Harry. The golden air around them slowly disappeared, and Hermione and Draco were in each other's arms, looking at the other two. "Harry, what happened?" Ginny asked, looking fondly at the boy.

"I don't know Gin. Can I call you Gin?" He looked at the girl.

"Ok course Harry. Can we please get back to Hogwarts? I'm really cold, and tired. Ron probably thinks that I lost my 'Innocence' to you, so he'll be mad."

"Ya Sure. Gin, we just defeated Voldemort. It's all over. I can live in peace now."

"Wow. It is all over." She stood there, huddled against him, trying to keep warm. "Do you want to be alone Harry?"

"Why?"

"Because, your parents died here. Do you want to take a moment by yourself? Just to think?"

"No. My parents died here for the ones they loved. And I am with the one I love now. That's all that I need. It just seems that this is what they wanted. For me to be happy. And I am finally happy."

"Harry, you're the best. I really do love you."

"I know Gin. That sounds so amazing coming from your mouth."

"I guess I never really got over you Harry. Is that why I'm were I am now?" Ginny asked, she started rubbing his shoulders. She was cold, and would do anything to get warm. Hermione and Draco let go of each other, and Hermione walked up to them.

"Harry. Thank you. Thank you for saving me. You have no idea what it means to me that you would do that for your best friend. Your great." She said, giving Harry a hug. (A/N: He is getting an awful lot of body contact in this one isn't he?)

"Sure. Your welcome." Harry seemed to not pay attention to what Hermione was saying.

"Do you still like that git?" Harry asked her, looking at Draco, who was sitting on a pile of snow, with his head in his hands.

"Yes, you got a problem with that?" She said, glaring up at him.

"But, his father tried to kill you!" Harry said, still not taking his eyes off of Draco.

"Harry.. I. But he didn't did he? Draco killed him before he could!" Hermione didn't finish her sentence. She ran down to Draco, said something to him, and they left.

Harry turned his attention back to Ginny. "Gin, lets go. I want to sleep. There is going to be some explaining to do. Got some floo Powder?"

"No. I don't. I only had enough to get us here. We could stay in that little shack until morning though."

"Gin, no matter how much I love you, I'm too young to be sharing a small shack with you. That's what broom closets are for right?" Ginny slapped Harry.

"You shut up! Your lucky Hermione taught me the spell to make illegal port keys without getting caught." Harry looked at her.

"Illegal port keys? And to think two of your relatives work for the ministry."

"Just shut up will you?" She said, slapping him again. Um. how about a snow ball." Ginny bent down, and made a snowball. "Now, what was that spell, um. oh ya, traverlurose obejecto." The snowball glowed bright orange. "Hogwarts." Ginny said. The snowball returned to its normal color. "Now, hold on." Harry put one arm around Ginny, and a hand on the snowball.

"Ready." They were jerked forward and hurtled to Hogwarts.

So, chapter Nine, and Voldemort's gone, but more is to come. See, this is going to be in the next chapter probably, but for your sake, and every one who wants to know why D/H were important, I t will come clear in the next few chapters. So, I couldn't stand putting the whole killing Voldemort off for much longer, that's why this chapter is so long. I don't know how JKR does it. Some of her chapters are 20 pages long. I wouldn't be surprised if mine got that long though. The two still have a few personal hurdles to over come, and such, but I don't know. I might write a sequel to this one, or I just might include it into this story. But trust me, this one isn't near done. So, for now, review!
