Chapter 37
Disbelief...
Anger...
Hateā¦
That was what Ginny felt when she saw Draco falling down. It was like everything went in slow-motion. Her heart was beating fast as she replayed the green beam soaring towards Draco and hitting him and being close enough to see the sparkle of his eyes disappear, forever in her head. A tear fell down her cheek. Time stopped. Memories of their time together flashed in her mind. No more the friendly bickering. No more the sweet little kisses and his eyes twinkling when he was amused.
The prophecy was about her and Draco TOGETHER defeating the Dark Lord. Does this mean that it's all over? Everything was for nothing?
She knelt down by Draco. She reached out to him with a shaking hand, almost afraid of looking to see if there was a pulse.
There wasn't one.
When she felt no pulse, the change was immediately. She dropped his wrist and stood up, turning her gaze to Voldemort. He was just laughing at her.
Well Ginny thought. Without Draco I won't win, but I'm sure as HELL won't go down without a fight.
Ginny looked back at Draco and thought one last sentence before all coherent thought was no longer possible.
Without you Draco...I am nothing, I love you!
Then her eyes went from a sparkling green to a darker one. A cold death glare is what Voldemort received, but not only that. Ginny began shooting spells at him; wandless.
Spell after spell. He had no time to attack just to defend. He tried taunting her.
"Awww, Your little lover is dead? I am SO sorry" He said sarcastically. It didn't help. Ginny was deaf for the rest of the world now. Shooting and shooting. Different spells, ranging from simple stunning spells to full out 'Crucio'.
Voldemort is a tough old duck and he could defend, with a couple of close calls and minor hits.
In the mean time, all Ginny could think about is how to hurt him the most. He has to suffer! Voldemort has no conscience, so he will only suffer by physical force.
She now stood a few meters before him and stopped shooting spells and instead raised a powerful shield. Voldemort saw his chance to strike back, but Ginny's shield was too strong.
Ginny felt something. It was peculiar. Chills went up her spine and she felt cold. Suddenly there was a pressure behind her, like someone pushing a pillow in her back. When it stopped...the feeling she felt, could not be described.
A presence. Ginny hoped that it him.
Draco? She thought hesitantly.
It is me, love Draco's voice came from far away in her mind. It is time to defeat him, together
Ginny nodded to herself. She felt an invisible hand on hers and felt comfort. Voldemort saw the look on Ginny's face. Her eyes, changing from green to silver and back to green.
A beam shot out of her (or 'their') hand. It was made of Flames and around it was Ice. Voldemort tried to run, but it didn't help much. Soon he was covered in Flames and Ice. Screaming and obviously in terrible pain.
May he feel all the pain and grief that he is responsible for...from all the children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends...and my Draco
After a few minutes of extreme pain on Voldemort behalf, the flames and ice went away. He stood there for two seconds. A light breeze came and he promptly fell backwards. He fell...only to never get up again.
Ginny felt the presence of Draco going away; she ran towards the body of Draco, hoping that he would be okay now.
He still wasn't breathing.
There was no pulse.
"NO!" Ginny cried out. "No, you can't be dead. I won't let you Draco, come back...come back please!" She rambled, desperately wanting Draco back. Tears running freely now; she was kneeling besides his body, hugging him.
"Please...just come back, I love you" Her breaths became short, painful gasps and she stopped talking and sat completely still. She closed her eyes, her head lying on Draco's chest; crying in silence.
After a minute, she felt her head lift and going down.
Suddenly she saw images.
FLASHBACK
She saw Voldemort shooting a spell at them; jumping out of the way, while she saw herself on the other side doing the same. Her mouth opened and Draco's voice came out.
"Ginny!" her voice yelled. "Let's do the thing we used at Rosie's"
Now Ginny understood. She was seeing everything from Draco's perspective. 'She ran' and saw Ginny do the same. The vial smashed. There was smoke and now they were standing still.
'Draco!' Ares' voice called out.
'Ares?' Ginny heard Draco think. 'What are you doing in my head?'
'We don't have much time. After you enervate Ginny and are both able to move, attack Voldemort together. But if it your plan has no effect, do nothing anymore'
'What do you mean nothing?' Draco said indignant.
'Just that nothing, Voldemort will use Avada Kedavra on you. Let the spell hit'
'Really? How stupid do you take me for?'
'Stop interrupting boy, we haven't got much time. After you get hit, my power will lessen the curse so that it will only separate your soul and body. Go into the body of your girlfriend and defeat Voldemort, together'
'How do I know that you will do as you say you will do?'
'It's the only chance you've got'
True Draco thought.
Then Ginny saw Draco and her moving again, clasping their hands together and sending Voldemort backwards. He threw another vile at them and an explosion was created. Draco fell to the ground, but quickly stood up.
Voldemort raised his wand at him.
To trust the God of War or not to trust the God of War Draco debated with himself which Ginny heard.
"Draco watch out!" She heard herself yell. Draco/Ginny spirit looked at Ginny.
I have to protect Ginny, this is our only chance. I'll do it Draco thought as he looked back at Voldemort.
"Avada Kedavra" Voldemort yelled.
I love you Ginny Was Draco's last thought before the spell hit.
Everything went black for a while and when vision was regained, she saw herself standing opposite of Voldemort. Draco's spirit 'merged' with that of Ginny's body.
Draco? Ginny called out, but sounded far away.
It's me, love Draco replied. It is time to defeat him, together
He placed his hand on top of Ginny's and a beam shot out. As soon as Voldemort fell over, Draco faded out of Ginny's body and he blacked out.
END FLASHBACK
Ginny felt her head lift and going down. She sat up immediately...
Draco's chest was rising...and he opened his eyes.
SEE! I didn't kill Draco! well...maybe a little bit then, but he's alive now! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND:
REVIEW! Sweet eyes on FULL blast ...please?
