Of Energy
Harry stood in the dark Hospital wing watching Ginny. He had just sent Parkinson off to Australia with some money, after placing the hiding charm on her. They had come up with a plan and Harry knew the spell to defeat the monster. He only had one thing to do before he left.
Ginny was sitting against the wall behind her bed, her elbow resting on her pillow. A small orange book sat open on her lap, which she looked thoroughly engrossed in. Harry walked up quietly and sat on the edge of her bed. Ginny didn't move, but a small smile made its way onto her pink lips. She read a few more sentences, Harry sitting there quietly, then looked up.
"Yes?" She asked sweetly, batting her light eyelashes with a huge smile across her face. Harry looked at her somberly and took her hand. She looked searchingly into his eyes, the smile fleeing from her face.
"Harry, what's going on?" She looked down at their linked hands, then back into his eyes. He put some pressure on her hand and sighed, looking down.
" Gin, I'm going after him." He looked up at her. She had instantly understood whom he was taking about and had let a small gasp escape her. She didn't say anything, but put one hand on his cheek and looked deep into his eyes.
" I finally figured out a way, Ginny. I have to do this . . . It's now or never, when I still have a plan." He looked at her pleadingly, his eyes betraying his fear of being rejected when he needed her most.
" I understand." She mumbled the two words quietly and laid her cheek against his. " I understand." Harry put his arms around her, and sat holding her. A few tears escaped his eyes when he felt her tremble, mixing with her silent tears on their joined cheeks.
They sat together until daybreak, without a word until he stood to leave. The last words said were by Harry, and they were simple ones.
" I love you, Gin."
And he was gone.
Harry apparated directly into Voldemorts castle, still warm from holding Ginny. He needed to do this now. He stalked quietly, invisible, through the castles winding corridors until he reached what Parkinson had described as the Throne Room. He waited awhile until a deatheater walked to the door and knocked. The high voice of Voldemort responded.
"Come in."
The Deatheater opened the door obediently, Harry slipping unseen into the room and winced in disgust when the deatheater walked in, bowing, until he stood a foot from Voldemort's high throne.
"Alster, you have pleased me greatly this night. I am here to give you a reward." Voldemort's snake tongue flicked out and tasted the air as he pulled out his wand. Harry took his wand out at the same time and cast a binding spell on the Deatheater, one that would only be undone when Harry wished it.
Voldemort looked around frantically, until his red eyes landed on the invisible Harry.
"Show yourself! I will destroy you!" The Dark Lord cackled as he stood up from his throne. Harry became visible, his wand at his side casually, though internally he was shaking in fear and anger at seeing this creature again.
" Destroy me, Tom? Are you going to try again?" He spoke mockingly and walked closer to the monster.
"Insolent boy! Trying to commit suicide now?" Voldemort's thin lips twisted into a sneer, making his face more repulsive that it had been.
"Suicide? No, there will be only one death tonight, Tom, and that will be yours." Harry spoke clearly and confidently, but he was still surprised to see Voldemort cringe slightly.
"Then let us duel and see who shall win." Voldemort made to bow but flashed his wand out and hissed. "Avada Kedavra." Harry who had seen something like this coming, ducked and rolled aside. He cast a silent confundus charm on Voldemort and was rewarded when the Dark Lord started looking around confusedly, his wand dropping to the floor.
Fully aware that Voldemort could cast wandless magic, Harry still summoned his wand, just as Voldemort shook himself out of the spell. He pointed at Harry and hissed out.
" Diepeulg!" Harry had heard of this spell but couldn't move out of the way fast enough. His feet were glued to the floor. Casting the counter-curse he missed the bone breaking hex come toward him from his enemy, and jumped when he felt his arm break into several pieces.
He threw two kicking hexes at Voldemort in quick succession, which gave him enough time to put a pain numbing charm on his arm. Voldemort stood from the floor where he had fallen and sent a fire curse at Harry, who dodged, then sent a freezing charm at Voldemort.
This gave him enough time to draw all his magic together, Voldemort's and his wand each in one of his hands, and speak one sentence full of power.
" Lam Etalihinna Yb Neib!" A ball of sparkling white energy flew toward Voldemorts who had just gotten out of the freezing charm, and stared at the ball wide eyed. The energy exploded when it touched Voldemort. The Monster fell, shrieking. His white scaly skin melted off his skull and his bones turned to dust, but then a body fell to the floor. Harry grabbed the body's arm and apparated to the Hospital Wing with his remaining energy. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was Ginny's pale face staring at him.

AN, I am soooooo sorry for not updating, let me explain. When I took this story, I was already writing another of my own and RL wasn't going too good for me, but Em begged and begged ( such a considerate author) so I took it up, putting my own story ( a Slytherin Harry story) on hold for this one. Now, RL has gotten really strange and been in the way, thus stopping me from updating. I haven't had the inspiration, until I received the review from Fuzzy asking if I was sick and hoping I got better. That made me feel Guilty because while my writing spirit was slightly sick and weak, I am physically healthy and did not want my dear Readers to think otherwise and thus worry about me.
I therefore wrote this chapter and sincerely, from the deepest part of my heart, hope you enjoy it. There will be one or two more chapters, including an Epilogue.
Next Chapter will contain: what happened to Sirius? What is Harry going to do the Deatheaters? Is Voldemort really dead? What IS going on with Ginny and Harry? And more...
The curses in this chapter are:
Diepuelg: Glue feet; sticks the victims feet to the floor.
Lam Etalihinna Yb Neib: Evil annihilated by Good; Curse that was created by the Ancient Race of Forest Elves to defeat the Darkest of Evil. (Yes it is all in my head)

I have already exceeded my limit for daily internet time and so, I can not post this today...It is 2:30 and I had wished to get this out as soon as possible, so I can get some feedback and start writing the next chapter, but, alas, this is not so. Oh..pssst, tell me what you think of the Harry/Gin part in this Chapter, I thought it was cute! :P
