A/N The song that you will see in the beginning of this chapter inspired me to write the last chapter of Love's Defeat. My cousin let me listen to it when she was coming up for songs for this Harry Potter Musical, which might not even be posted. Anyways, it's been great writing this story for all of you Just One Night fans. And, I'm disappointed to say, this might be the last sequel I make to any other future stories. But, if I feel that a sequel should be in the works then I will make one. But with my next story, which is in the works, I can probably say that there won't be a sequel to that. Unfortunately for you readers, you'll have to wait a while before I post that story. I plan on writing it all out before posting anything!
"Easier To Run" By: Linkin Park
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Chapter 7- The Final Encounter
Harry stood motionless not making a sound. "Voldemort." He replied whipping around, his wand at the ready.
"You came prepared. No surprise there..." He said beginning to encircle Harry.
"What do you want?" Harry asked, trying to sound as brave as possible.
Voldemort crept up to Harry and whispered in his ear, "What you took from me twenty-eight years ago."
Harry slightly turned his head. "I'm not going to give that up without a fight."
Voldemort stepped back abruptly until he was in front of an archway. "I thought that you might say that. Bring the girl!" He said glaring his eyes.
Wormtail stepped out from the darkness of the Chamber, with Ginny dragging by his side. Harry's green eyes widened as he tried to run to her. "Ginny!"
"Harry!" Ginny screamed extending her arm for him to grab. "Help me!"
Wormtail stood back as another one of Voldemort's followers held back Ginny. "Quiet!" he yelled hitting Ginny so hard that she hit a nearby wall.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry screamed as the man fell to the floor. He turned to Voldemort with a tear stained face. "Are you ready to finally die?"
Voldemort gave Harry an evil smile. "I'd thought you'd never ask. Stupefy!"
Harry quickly dodged the spell and hid behind a statue. He arose from behind and yelled "Impediment!" Voldemort easily dodged Harry's spell.
"Harry!" Ginny screamed as they began strapping her to the metal table, on which she would be sacrificed.
"Ginny!" Harry hollered as he turned suddenly.
"Expelliarmus!"
Harry was thrown against a wall and his wand slid across the floor inches away from him. He cringed in pain as he put his hand to the back of his head. It was covered in blood. He reached for his wand, but before he could get to it Voldemort stepped on his foot to prevent him.
"Look Harry!" He snarled forcing Harry to see Ginny's sacrifice. She was screaming in pain as the moonlight began to shine on her, and Wormtail began to cut her to make her blood pour. "It's a shame isn't it?" Voldemort asked getting down to eye level with Harry as Ginny screamed from the first cut. "To see the person you love die. But I guess you're used to that, right Harry?"
Harry gritted his teeth as he brought his free hand up and pulled Voldemort down. He ran and grasped his wand and Voldemort's too. "You killed my parents!" he shouted. "But I won't let you kill the love of my life! And my son too!"
"Come off it Harry. You wouldn't dare to kill me!" He antagonized.
"Wouldn't I?" Harry muttered. "Avada!"
"Harry! No!" Ginny yelled at him through her dying screams.
"Kedavra!" Harry screamed finishing the spell. Voldemort's screams filled the Chamber and he began to burn. Harry ran over to Ginny, and untied her. Lifting her off the table the Chamber walls began to crumble, as Harry ran to the exit. He stopped suddenly as Fawkes appeared once again to save him. Harry held Ginny tightly, as he got a good hold of Fawkes before they began to fly out of the Chamber again.
After Harry killed Voldemort he spent one month in Azkaban. After the month was over he had a meeting with the Ministry to decide if he should be let out of Azkaban or not. They ruled that he was not a dangerous criminal, for he had killed the most feared wizard of all time, and he was sent home to Ginny. They married and a couple months later discovered a new surprise.....
9 Months Later
Ginny screamed as Harry stroked her hair. "I hate you! I hate you!" She said in dire agony. "You did this to me! Nine months ago! You did this to me!"
"Too bad the Ministry let you off easily Harry!" Ron shouted across the room. "Or you could still be in Azkaban."
Harry turned to Ron and Sirius who were on the other side of the room. "I'm sorry..." Harry said trying to comfort Ginny.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" she said pushing him away. "Ow! Harry!" she said grabbing the collar to his shirt. "I'm sorry, don't go! Please don't go!"
"Okay, okay!" Harry replied releasing from her grip. "Squeeze my hand when it hurts okay?"
Ron opened his mouth to say something, but it was too late. "Ow! Ow!" Harry yelped in pain as Ginny squeezed his hand as hard as she could.
"Okay Ginny! One more push!" Hermione said. "Ready?"
"No...."Harry whimpered.
"Push Ginny!"
Ginny began pushing as Harry's hand began turning purple. An echo of baby cries filled the room. "It's a girl...." Hermione said happily as she cleaned the baby and handed it to Ginny.
She cradled the baby in her arms. "Harry," she said admiring the red haired, green eyed girl. "She's beautiful."
"Yeah," he began in awe. "She really is...."
"Did I hurt your hand?" Ginny asked with a slight smile on her face.
"It's nothing that can't be fixed dear."
"Harry," Ginny looked down at the baby as Ron and Sirius walked over. "How about Lily for the name?"
He smiled. "I like it."
Hermione stood revealing her very pregnant self. Ron pulled her into a hug as they all stood admiring baby Lily. For this is the end, to a bright beginning.....
