The battle (chapter 36)
A huge grass field, occupied by three people; Ginevra Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Tom Riddle a.k.a. Voldemort. One might say that it would be unfair for it to be two against one. But it was hard against hard.
Ginny ducked for a stunning spell. She was trying to get closer to Voldemort so that she could attack him with the dagger she'd brought, but it was hard with all the spells coming her way. Draco was trying his hardest to distract Voldemort, but the evil wizard was not distracted that easily.
The next spell JUST missed her and a chill went up Ginny's spine.
What the hell are we doing? We have no plan or strategy! Ginny was trying desperately to come up with a plan, but inspiration failed her. Well...it IS hard to think while dodging spells! Another one soared past Draco and Ginny's hart clenched. That was close.
Ginny ran towards Voldemort, whose back was turned and raised her hand. Voldemort felt a presence behind him and turned. Therefore, the dagger missed its destination, but still hit the intended subject...in the shoulder. He cried out. Ginny felt a tiny flow of triumph, but it was short-lived. The evil wizard before her was livid! With a force she had not held possible he struck her and she flew backwards.
She fell on the ground. Did you ever know that grass should not be eaten, because it tastes really bad? Ginny says that it's true; she's had the experience. Spitting out grass, she stood up again and turned around.
"Ginny!" Draco yelled. And she could see why...just she saw it too late. A severing spell was sent her way and slashed her right arm pretty badly. She forced herself not to cry out.
Voldemort laughed.
"Is this all you've got?" He taunted. "Not much is-" He was cut off by Draco sending him a severing spell of his own at the exact same spot, Ginny's dagger had wounded him.
"Stop gloating, Voldie! And fight!" Draco sneered. Draco and Ginny advanced on him, dagger in one hand, and wand in another.
"Fine" he scowled back. He stretched out his hand and a sword appeared. Just like that. Bit of smoke and poof, sword for Voldie.
"How did you do that?" Ginny asked. He looked at her disgusted.
"You really think that you're the only one allowed to bring five items? Fools"
Okay...so that was one slight factor that Ginny and Draco had overlooked. A swordfight broke out. But all of them were masters at sword fighting, so they soon changed back to wands.
Ginny had lost track of time. She didn't care how much time had past, but she felt like they had been fighting for hours. She was beginning to show signs of exhaustion.
Dear Merlin, how much longer? Ginny thought. She blinked. They were in a different room now. Voldemort was nowhere in sight. There were fluffy sofas, a pool with a waterfall providing new and warm water. Different kinds of food were placed on a table.
Draco looked at her. "What happened?" He asked. Ginny shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know.
Rosie appeared. "This is your time-out. It is a place where you can renew your energy levels. This duel can only be won if your better that the other and not because the other is too tired to go on. So here you can eat and rest for a bit, but as soon as the break is over, the battle will continue" And Rosie has left the...place.
Ginny gingerly sat down on one of the sofas.
"Can I just say, that I for one am SO glad, we get to have a break" Ginny sighed.
"Hell yeah" Draco muttered as he sat on another sofa. Then of course they started eating.
Draco opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. Ginny looked at him as if he was crazy.
"What's wrong" She asked with concern. Rosie appeared next to them and it scared the hell out of Ginny.
"What the- Rosie!"
"What?" she said innocently.
"Don't you people know doors?"
"Yes, but why use them if we don't need them?"
"Forget it...I'm sure you're here to tell me why Draco is gaping like a fish without water over there?"
"Yes, he wants to talk to you about strategies for defeating your opponent and that is not allowed"
Hearing this, Draco stopped gaping and tried to formulate a sentence without strategies.
"Why didn't you tell us first?" he snarled. Rosie glared at him.
"Well, most people know the rules when they get here so it is NOT in my job description to tell you that" Rosie countered, very annoyed.
"Draco is sorry, aren't you Draco?" Ginny glared. Draco received this glare and immediately apologize to Rosie. He was just a tad irritated.
"Apology accepted" She smiled and disappeared again. Not much time was wasted and soon they had eaten enough food that could have lasted a small army.
"Pfff...I'm full" Ginny said.
"TIME!" Ares' voice yelled and soon Draco and Ginny found themselves back on the grass field. Voldemort looked prepared and shot a spell at them. The spell once again separated Draco and Ginny as they had to go different ways to get out of the way.
"Ginny!" Draco yelled. "Let's try the thing we used at Rosie's!"
Ginny got the idea and tried to run to Draco and he did the same. Voldemort however, didn't like that idea. He pulled something out of his cloak and threw it at their feet. The glass of the vial (as it turned out to be) created smoke and indulged Draco and Ginny just before they reached each other. The smoke disappeared and Draco and Ginny were stunned. No...Not stunned as in: I cannot believe this. It was stunned as in: I cannot move!
It was a sight. Draco and Ginny were standing towards each other in run-position. Their arms outstretched, ready to grab the hand of the other. Just a few centimetres between the hands separated them.
Though they could not move or talk, they could see and hear (Not very helpful, but it's something!). Voldemort dared to come closer.
"Great idea if I may say so myself" He said arrogantly. "A liquid potion that has the same effect as a stunning spell; but it surprises the opponent as they don't know what to expect" He laughed evilly a bit more.
While Voldemort thought he had all the time in the world, Draco and Ginny had different ideas. They hadn't used wandless magic yet, because it took too much energy for it to be used in battle, but now they tried.
Draco tried 'enervate' on Ginny while Ginny did the same for Draco. They grabbed each others hands before Voldemort could even blink and was thrown backwards by the force Draco and Ginny used.
Voldemort reacted quickly. Another potion came, causing an explosion that separated Draco and Ginny.
Ginny was mad now! She looked as Voldemort pointed his wand at Draco.
Draco did nothing. Panic began to grip her.
"Draco watch out!" Ginny shouted. He turned to look at her, but turned his gaze back at Voldemort and STILL did nothing. Ginny began running towards Draco, forcing her legs to run harder and harder.
"Avada Kedavra!" The most feared words from the most feared wizard.
"NOOOO!" Ginny yelled. The green beam was faster than Ginny and hit Draco. His lifeless body fell to the ground.
Ginny couldn't believe it.
Draco was dead...
