Chapter 31 – The Complete Story
A silver light left Ginny's chest and flew to Angel's body, surrounding her, trying to bring her back to them, but when the silver light and the white light, surrounding Angel, touched, Angel's body disappeared, leaving nothing but empty air on the place where she had been floating seconds before.
Ginny screamed in agony and fell on the floor crying. It didn't work... Angel had died...
Two gentle arms held her strongly, and Draco whispered soothing words on her ear.
"Gin, please, don't be like this... You did your best to help her! It's not your fault it didn't work..." he said, kissing her temple. "It's not anyone's fault..."
"It's my fault, Ginny... I'm sorry I didn't agree with this sooner!" Hermione kneeled on the floor in front of Ginny, crying as well. "I should've helped you the moment you asked me to, but I was so scared..."
"I know, Mione... I don't blame you, really I don't!" Ginny sobbed, hugging her friend. "Thank you for accepting my baby tonight..."
With soft words, Ginny transferred the baby back to her womb. This time she took a good look at it.
The foetus was still very little, and it still didn't have a human shape. Surrounding the baby was a soft pink balloon that glowed softly.
"Look, Draco... It's your daughter..." Ginny whispered, as the foetus merged with her belly.
"It's a boy, but today I'm not going to fight about this... Let's go, you need to have some rest." He smiled sadly, as he helped her up.
"Virginia, I admire what you did today... And I'm very happy with the results you had." Dumbledore smiled knowingly. "I'm sure you'll want to talk with the Fairies about the whole curse..."
"What do you mean? This spell was supposed to make Angel change to her human shape!" Ginny asked, confused.
"Go have some rest now, and tomorrow go to the Fairies and talk with them. They'll explain everything..." he replied, walking away with a smile on his lips.
"Draco, we have to go now!" she yelled, running through the crowd of students, but she was too weak and tired, and ended up falling.
"No, darling, right now you have to rest..." he replied softly, holding her in his arms as if she were a baby, and walked to their room, followed by Harry, Ron and Hermione.
On the corridor, outside of the Great Hall, the crowd was talking about what they had just witnessed and started parting ways to their common rooms. Only one person remained there, not moving, against a stonewall, staring to the spot where Angel had been floating in the air.
If there was anyone to blame, it was he... Angel probably died because she had heard him saying he didn't love her... The classroom's door was open, and she had told him earlier that she would meet him there.
"I've caused her death..." Snape whispered, hiding his face with his hands, and for the first time in over 18 years he let himself cry.
The last time he had cried was when Voldemort forced him to kill his own wife as a proof of his loyalty. That same day he joined the Order and became a Potions Teacher at Hogwarts.
Tonight, he wasn't crying for his wife... But he was crying for someone he loved as much as he had loved his wife.
"Why did I deny it? WHY?" he screamed and then ran to his room, not wanting to be seen that way.
Ginny woke up in her bed, held tightly in Draco's arms. Turning around in his embrace, she watched him sleep and smiled. He looked so cute when he was sleeping, with his hair in front of his eyes and his lips in a soft pout.
Sighing she kissed him softly, and left the bed without waking him up. She needed to go to the Forbidden Forest and talk with the Fairies. It was still the middle of the night, but she really needed to find out what was going on.
She quickly got dressed and ran through the school's corridors, then through the school's grounds and then she entered the forest. Yes, it was creepy during day and YES, it was even worse at night...
Carefully, with her wand at ready, she jogged to the Fairies' trees and when she finally got there she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twinkle! Twinkle!" she called to the trees, waking up all the Fairies.
"My Queen... What's wrong?" the Fairies asked, flying around her, sensing her preoccupation.
"I've lifted the curse from Angel, but she disappeared! Is she dead? What happened?" she asked, sitting on the forest black ground and waited for an answer.
"I didn't tell you the complete curse story, because I never expected our Queen to do it... Have you lost your baby?" Twinkle asked worried, flying to one of Ginny's knees, and landed there.
"No, the baby is fine, Twinkle... Tell me the complete story, please!" Ginny asked, her heart beating way too fast for her own good.
"Well, the Pulgas are born in the shape of a cat, so, when the curse is lifted from them, they don't have a body to change into... That's why Angel disappeared, she doesn't have a human body." Twinkle explained gently.
"But, she's not dead? Where is she then? How can I give her a body?" Ginny asked, desperately.
"Angel is not dead, right now she's a soul, wandering the castle's walls. To give her a body, you have to perform the Corporeum Mutate on the room she's in and she'll take the shape she desires to have, probably the shape her owner likes." Twinkle explained. "First of all, you need to find the room she's in and then perform the spell..."
"The shape her owner likes... Snape is the owner of her heart, so she'll take the shape he desires..." Ginny whispered, understanding it all. "I think I know where she is! Thank you Twinkle! I'll be back soon..."
A new hope was settled in her heart and Ginny ran like she had never ran before, praying that she could have a human Angel by her side in less than 5 minutes.
That's when everything went black and she fell to the floor, her body going numb, not obeying her orders of running away.
A pair of black dragon boots stopped before her still semi-open eyes and laughed evilly, before she fell in a deep slumber.
