A.N.Hiya, I haven't really got anything to say so enjoy.

'Ginny'

As I rushed back into the castle I ran past all the Order members that were well known. I passed by all the members that didn't really know Harry. In my mind there were only a handful of people who would be able to save Harry. I sprinted up to the Gryffindor tower.

I burst through the portrait hole and climbed the boys' staircase two and three steps at a time. When I reached the seventh year boys dormitories my steps became more cautioned. I reached for the first set of curtains and pulled them back. Seamus. I left him to sleep and moved on to the next set of curtains.

My lungs wanted to scream for joy as I saw Neville's sleeping form, with a shove his eyes flew open.

"Ginny?" he asked strangly, sitting up.

"Be quiet," I hissed. Silence was something we needed right now. Everyone else in this room did not need to be aware of what was going on. "Harry's in trouble, he's in the Shrieking Shack now. Neville hurry, everyone else is busy with the vampires."

"Vampires!" Neville asked.

"I'll explain on the way. Just get dressed and meet me downstairs alright?" I said, my feet already carrying me towards the door to their room.

Neville nodded and I closed the door quietly.

I waited downstairs for the better part of a millennium. How long can one boy take to pull on a pair of trousers? I glowered at him as he finally raced down the stairs. "What took so bloody long?"

Even in the dark I could make out the radiance of blush that that statement had brought on to Neville's face. He mumbled something incoherent and I was too pressed for time to care. Now, however, I was about to encounter a rather big problem. Luna Lovegood happened to be in the Ravenclaw house, and I happen to be devoid of the password to gain entrance. I turned swiftly to Neville, my hair flying about my face. I was sure I looked like a madwoman.

"I have to get Luna, you go ahead. They need help!"

Neville gave me a look, "Could you explain what is going on?"

I sighed, my irritation almost forcing me to implode. "To make a long story short vampires are here, under the command of Voldemort. Harry, being the prat he is, went to go try and end this, before anyone else got hurt or died. To wound or kill the vampires use a severing charm ok? To get into the Shrieking Shack go to the whomping willow, cast immobulus on it and find the tunnel at the base of its roots. Follow the tunnel through until you end up in the shrieking shack. Alright?"

"How do you know all this stuff?" Neville asked.

I was sure by now the steam was billowing from my ears. Why in Merlin's name did he care about that right now!

"Because Hermione told me a while back," I all but growled.

Neville looked a bit shaky, but nodded at me and took off running towards the Great Hall.

Back to my original problem, Luna. Don't ask me why, I just knew she had to come. She had to be a part of it. It was the same with Neville; somehow all of us were tied together. It was almost amusing as I remembered Harry's fifth year and how all of us had gone to the Department of Mysteries together. I had known then that Harry, Ron, and Hermione couldn't do it alone. Merlin, help me if I'm wrong.

However, it was then that I saw Nearly Headless Nick float by. "Nick! I need a favor. I need you to go get Luna Lovegood for me. Please?"

The ghost gave me an odd look but nodded, "As you wish my lady."

I watched with bated breath as he disappeared through a wall, on his way to retrieve one of the last few elements of my plan.

'Hermione'

There was a silence between us that I had never before known. It was dark and cascading as it wrapped around our souls and pulled our hands together, until under the invisibility cloak all three of us were holding hands against the fear and silence that threatened to take what was left of our humanity. It was hard to imagine that I was here, on the way to fight Voldemort, with Harry and Ron by my side.

It was even harder to know that this was reality and not my imagination playing horrid tricks on me.

I closed my eyes as a wetness formed behind them. I knew they were scared, as was I. I also knew that this had to happen. It was always coming; Ron and I were simply waiting for Harry to lead the way. The realization that I would have followed either one of them into the pits of hell should have scared me. It only made me grip their hands tighter. Tears cascaded down my face as I fought to keep my shaking under control. I swore that in the end, when they needed me that I'd be there. I would rather die than admit my pain and now I was going to live up to my oath that I had taken in the common room months before.

I had lied. I knew exactly what was going on. It was true I hadn't practiced with the potion enough, and I hadn't known the effects that would be happening now. I almost cursed my intelligence as my thoughts followed through to the end result of my fatal mistake.

My body was shutting down, I had pushed it too far and overused all the muscles. If I stopped now, I knew I would live. I could recuperate and heal. My grip in their hands only became firmer. I would not leave them.

The first thing to collapse would be my legs, the bigger muscle groups. They would shut down one by one, until I was paralyzed. The most terrifying thought was my lungs would collapse before my heart. I swallowed a sob that rose to the surface. I would not leave them, not when they needed me most.

Remus would be fine; he had been a werewolf much longer. The wolf within would heal him, I was not as lucky. My body was still fighting the lycanthropy and when I forced it through a transformation I had built my own coffin.

I was already loosing the feeling in my feet and my toes were curled and for some reason, I could not uncurl them. I looked up at Ron as his blue eyes twinkled in the starlight, forgive me. If everything were to end up alright, maybe in another life I could have loved you in the way you want me to.

Harry was sweating and his steps were firm, forgive me. I know you will hate me when things end. And I know that you have the strength to save everyone. I never doubted it. I know that you will blame yourself after it all plays out, and I know Ron and Ginny will be there to pick you back up. I know they will.

My breath steadied as an ethereal calm washed over me. I knew what I had to do. All the studying and training and smiles and laughing and crying over all these years with them came down to this one moment. This one night...

All thoughts flew from my mind as I saw a light on in the second floor of Hog's Head. Our path was now seen and our fates began the desperate struggle to hold on to the life which we fought for. I steeled my nerves and straightened my back.

"There," Harry whispered, pointing.

Ron nodded, dropping my hand and Harry mirroring my actions.

"I love you both," I whispered. Rather simple words for a time like this. My eloquence was very well known, especially by these two. This time however, I knew there was no need for beautiful words. There was only room for feeling and action.

We took the cloak off and stepped into the Hog's Head.

'Remus'

My heart pounded in my chest as I saw them disappear into the doorway and the door close behind them. Sirius picked up speed by my side. Hermione.

For as much as my heart was pounding it stopped when I saw the dark figure in the window, walking behind the trio. They weren't alone.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed.

My legs carried me across the gap between the Hog's Head and where I was with amazing speed. I saw a green glow begin to appear in the room and everything for one moment seemed to stop.

I felt the cold iron of the door handle chill my bones as I turned the handle and it didn't turn.

I head the voices inside. It was unmistakable.

"HARRY!" Hermione screamed.

It was dark and dank in the room as I watched three figures step through the door. My eyes lit up with a faint red tainted pleasure. It was rather ironic that in the end, Harry Potter had come to me. Instead of me coming to him as had been custom for all these years.

I stood swiftly and silently, they had not seen me. Only the girl paused to give a second look around the room.

My steps were undetectable as I came closer and closer... and closer.

I could have reached out and touched his arm, Harry Potter's arm.

Foolish child.

I lifted my wand, the curse on the tip of my tongue.
