Chapter 17.
Harry yelled and ran towards her but he could not get close.
A strange shield had surrounded her. He ran into it and fell to the floor.
A extraordinary anger mounted inside him as he rose.
Lightening sparked between his fingers as he went again towards the shield.
Eyes flashing gold.
He used his power to break the shield.
Hermione was screaming at him as he did so.
As soon as the shield broke the fire extinguished.
Ginny stood there wearing dark armour. Finely crafted, scanty but not outrageous. Thick metal, tougher than dragon hide. Trimmed with gold piping and decorated with silver chains.
Her hair was jet black.
Her eyes pitch-black, icy and cold
Fire sparked at her fingers.
Her hair suddenly caught by a howling wind fluttered and the sky turned black as night streiked with silver.
Behind her Harry was so shocked could not move.
She stepped forward her face angry, posture powerful.
Strange noises could be heard coming from the forbidden forest. The students began to back away.
Suddenly Ginny spoke.
Her voice a bitter whisper. Those far away could only hear an odd snarling noise.
Many were too shocked to speak, this included the whole Weasley family who, like the rest of the school had gathered on the lawn.
"Does Hogwarts dare to defy Hell's chosen daughter?" The evil spilled from her every word making them cringe.
Harry was about to go towards Ginny when Severus appeared next to her.
"Does Hogwarts dare to defy Hell's chosen?" His voice matched hers.
Hermione ran towards her brother screaming at him.
"Harry! My god what are they doing?" She screamed tears running down her face.
Harry was unable to move.
"Harry!" Hermione shouted. Yet still he ignored her, his eyes fixed on Ginny and Severus.
"Hermione...we have to let them do this." He said oddly.
"No Harry the shall tear down the whole school!" Hermione shrieked.
"Hermione leave them, watch it is a test." Harry replied patiently.
The two teen's turned towards the action.
"Answer heavens dark one!" Ginny snapped viciously her voice shrill. A strange light was building around her.
"Answer the daemon mistress." Severus barked evil dripping from his every letter.
Hermione shied back away from them fearful. Yet Harry remained standing tall, ready to burst into action if need be.
Abruptly a peculiar voice filled the air.
"Forgive me Mistress of Hell, every angel shall have there time this is mine but not yet yours." The voice spoke.
"She is no light angel." Severus snapped his tone acid.
"No indeed and neither are you child. Dark angels together, prince of night and daughter of anger, please do not get annoyed. I wish to speak with Lady angel phoenix."
Ginny's anger visibly dulled but Severus did not back down.
"And why should I grant you permission to speak with her?" He asked angry.
Ginny turned quickly back towards Harry and Hermione. She winked discreetly.
"I am she, speak quickly what is it you desire?" Ginny asked the voice. Her tone formal.
"Ginevra, you are the protector, who shall charge straight into battle to protect all those you care for. You are no fool and neither am I, you cannot fool me child. I wish to speak with the lady angel phoenix. If you would be so kind to have her step forward." The voice replied calmly. Ginny scowled.
"No." She snarled. Her voice sliced through the air like a blade. "You shall not speak with my sister." She continued.
"Ginevra stop this nonsense." The voice commanded. "I wish to speak with the lady angel phoenix."
"You shall go through me first." Ginny screeched. Severus had backed away.
Her hair fluttered in the sudden wind. Her cloak flew off as she outstretched her hands. Fire formed at her fingertips.
"Ginevra put that down." The voice said angrily.
"Make me." She hissed her voice whipping through the cool air.
No longer the frail little girl she was but a powerful young woman.
Hermione shrieked as Ginny played with the fire in her hands.
"Don't harm the school." She whispered her voice carrying on the wind. What she did next would go down in history.
She defied the mistress of hell, standing in front of the school.
"I stand to protect my home." Hermione spoke her voice light but full of power.
"You stand in my path." Ginny hissed the fireball she was holding growing.
"I stand to protect the children." Hermione's voice was soothing and calm to all who herd her.
"Lady Phoenix get out of my way." Ginny hissed again.
"I stand for the phoenix sister, the protector. I stand for brother phoenix, the leader. I stand for the angel of the night, the lover. I stand for the phoenix teacher, the wise one. I stand for the light and the good and you shall not challenge an angel of the light sister!"
Ginny hissed one last time and the fire surrounded her flowing into her body defusing into her aura.
"Speak with the lady phoenix, do not harm her for once she is gone the foundations of the school will fall." Ginny spoke to the mysterious voice. Hermione turned and bowed low to the school.
"Daughter you are wise and powerful yet you were wrong on your wedding day your power will surpass all except your true love. Your brother and his love are the lord and lady phoenix but you and the prince of night will defy the laws of every land bringing light and dark together in a eternal bond. You have laid down the foundations of the new world. Your brother may rule but you shall be the true founder of a great age of peace and goodness. Do not fear it and do not walk away from your heart because no matter what you believe your heart and mind must work together. You must build your own future, you are the lady of divine fate, of all the lives you touch even in the smallest degree you will change the life and future of that person." The voice was musical and soft. "Rise child and lead the people. Protect my walls and fight the evil that will crawl across the grounds...I grant thee access to the realms of the court of the phoenix oh great and celestial mistress of good." Hermione rose and stood tall.
"For our fallen comrades...for our future victory...for our love and happiness. Open thy doors and let me into your shelter." Hermione cried into the wind as it swirled around her like a tornado her silver hair floating in the powerful wind. Walking forward more confidently than she felt Hermione pushed open the great door to the sound of tremendous applause.
Finally there was hope for the light side of the war. Finally there was pride in the cause.
Finally there was happiness.
