"HARRY!" I
ran up to him and hugged him crying. My dress was stained with my
blood and dirt, his tux was covered in dirt and rips but I didn't
care. He was there.
"Harry...Oh god...I was scared...,"
I squeezed him gently crying my eyes out
"Shhh its ok,"
he whispered as he stroked my hair to calm me down. When my shaking
had dulled, Harry walked me back over to Snipe.
"Thank you
Severus...I'll forever be in debt to you for this...," Harry was
smiling
"You sent him?" I looked up at Harry
"Not
exactly," smiled Severus "After Draco grabbed you from the
wedding, I almost immediately figured out where you'd have gone.
Potter here was a right wreck. Do you remember how you found him in
the hospital?" I nodded "Well, like that. He sat curled up
in a corner, crying his eyes out. Even Weasly couldn't get him out.
We cleared the church and sent everyone home and when they'd gone I
dragged his sorry hide up and told him to snap out of it!"
"More like hit me out of it! It hurts like hell that!"
I smiled
"Ok so I punched him. Anyway, I told him where
you were and he practically BEGGED me to come save you. I told him to
head here...the plane of existence. Since he knew where it was this
time, he could apparate,"
"Thank you Professor Snipe!"
I don't really know what possessed me to, but once I'd take
Amanda from his arms and passed her to Harry, I hugged him.
Snipe looked down at
me, and I think Harry must have noticed the tear in his eye. He
motioned his arms to hug me back. We stood there for a few seconds
and I think he was smiling all over again.
Harry smiled. He knew
Snape better than I did with being in the order, but I think he knew
that Snipe had truly turned kind.
We walked the three of us,
deeper into the plane of existence. When Amanda began to cry, Harry
cradled her and when she fell asleep, we decided it might be best
that we rest for a while so I could feed her.
I sat with Harry
cloak over me, breast feeding her while Harry kept me close.
"She's
so tiny," whispered Harry
"I know...god I've missed
her so much Harry...I'll never let her go again...never ever! I
missed a lot of things, her first birthday and everything like
that...but I wont miss anything else,"
"Nor will I,"
he smiled
I sat with Harry that
night. Snipe slept in a tree while we sat up. I daren't sleep. I
was too scared that someone would could. I had Harry back with me, I
had Amanda back...I didn't want anything else to happen to us.
Harry left his cloak over the top of me because I was shivering.
To keep Harry warm with me, I nuzzled close to him.
We talked for
a little while, about family and how everyone was. Then the subject
of the wedding came up.
"When we get
back...Are we going to try again?" Harry asked
"Of
course," I smiled. I was still sat in my ruined dress "We
can fix the dress...and Amanda can be my flower girl...and we can
just...just get married...We can be together...I can be Mrs. Ginny
Potter...," I nuzzled closer to Harry
"Are you'll be
all mine...I don't care what anyone says, you will be all mine,"
he grinned
I closed my eyes for a brief second smiling and I must
have fallen asleep
When we awoke, I saw
Snipe standing over me.
"Its time," he said "Voldemort
has come...For Harry...,"
"No! He can't have him!"
I pulled Harry close
"Ginny...," Harry whispered "You
know I've got to...,"
"No please Harry...I can't lose
you again."
"Look after her Severus." Harry stood
up, gently shaking me off him
"Will do Potter, Don't get
killed," Severus replied
"No! HARRY!" I went to
run after him as he walked but Snipe held me back
"He'll
survive Weasly," Severus spoke quietly "I hope,"
It wasn't long before
the fight began, I could hear shouts of spells and lights. I
struggled to get to them but Snipe held me back.
Amanda began to
cry and I stopped struggling for a moment to quell her cries. She was
hungry, I sat down to feed her, Harry's cloak on top of me.
He'd
left it and as Amanda sat suckling underneath it I cried. Harry
wasn't here beside me to watch her. The time with Voldemort, she
hadn't been fed properly for the year she'd been with Voldemort,
and my milk had just built up and saved itself, now she suckled away
at it.
A cold breeze blew through the air as it grew darker. Amanda slept unknowing that her Daddy was putting his life on the line for the world. With Harry's cloak covering me, I still shook, more with fear than the cold. I WAS scared. I thought I was going to lose Harry once more, I thought that Voldemort was going to get him. It was then I realized I couldn't stand by alone and watch it happen. Carefully, I wrapped Amanda up in Harry's cloak, and lay her on top of Snape's sleeping body. Then I crept off towards the battle.
With my wand raised I
walked closer to the deadly silent battle site. I panicked wondering
if the battle was over and ran faster. There on the ground lay Harry.
"Harry!" I ran to him and feel to my knees beside him.
"Harry wake up...,"
"I'm sorry Ginny," he
whispered...
"No Harry...Don't die again Please I need you,"
I whimpered pulling him close to me.
"To die would be a
great adventure," mumbled Harry
"No please don't
die," I whimpered kissing his forehead
"I'll
wake...when I can," Harry closed his eyes and slowly drifted
away
"No...Harry...," I whimpered as I dropped his cold
body to the ground and cried.
Gently I touched
Harry's cold cheek.
"HARRY...Please wake up," I
whispered
I nuzzled into his neck and clutched his hand tightly.
I anted everything to be ok again. I wanted it to be like it was last
year, when we were a family, the four of us.
