The Final Battle Trilogy Part One

The Chosen One!

Ministry of Magic officials have just caught wind of a prophecy made many years ago regarding the death of James and Lily Potter. It tells us why they died and how their son, Harry Potter, lived. The-Boy-Who-Lived has often been described as a lunatic just craving attention but it turns out it was all in good context. Although we do not know the exact words of the prophecy we know a few of the more crucial lines. "Mark him as his equal…" It turns out by casting Avada Kedavra on young Harry Potter, he-who-must-not-be-named cast him as his equal. "Neither can live while the other survives…" Voldemort is going to kill the young Potter unless he is ready, Harry Potter is our only hope! Help us Harry! We need you! In my highly valued opinion I doubt the young Potter boy is up for the challenge and the fact that he is the only one who can save us makes me scared. Should we go into hiding? Remove our children from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry because of the danger? Or should we place our fate in the hands of a seventeen-year-old boy, under questionable guidance. Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet

"That little bitch! I have every right to turn her un-registered animagus ass into the ministry." Hermione fumed.

"Mione calm down." Harry said, "She doesn't bother me."

"Do you have any idea what it's going to be like now? Parents removing their students left, right and center…you are going to be getting mail either begging you to help or telling you to leave Hogwarts so their children can be protected! She always ruins everything!" Hermione continued.

"Mi, please you need to stop now, people are looking at me and I think my hairs messy." Fred pretended to try and flatten it.

"Oh shut up." Hermione smiled.

"You need to clear this up, mate." Ron said confidently.

"How?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Luna!" Ron called over to the Ravenclaw table.

"Hello all! Hi Ronald." She kissed him quickly and sat down on his lap.

"Hi," Harry said in a depressed voice.

"We need another interview with your dad at the first Hogsmeade weekend." Hermione requested.

"My dad doesn't write articles." Luna explained.

"Then one of your writers." Hermione said exasperatedly.

"Okay." Luna said simply.

"Thank you." Ron hugged her tightly.

"Your welcome." Luna smiled dreamily.

"Harry…can I talk to you?" Ginny came up behind him. Harry winced.

"Yeah, let's go outside." Harry took her hand but she pulled away and followed him outside.

"I guess she didn't know about the prophecy." Fred said heavily.

"Nope. And now Harry regrets it." Hermione said leaning into Fred.

"You have class in 15 minutes." Fred told her.

"We do." Hermione corrected, "I have to get something from my room first so can we go?" Hermione asked smiling.

"Fine." Fred took her hand and led her out of the room.

"I missed something." Ron said looking very confused.

"It's okay, they're going out now." Luna explained.

"What?" Ron yelled and everyone turned to look at them, "What?" He whispered.

"They are dating…like boyfriend/girlfriend." Luna slid off his lap.

"But that's my brother…and my best friend…and kissing…ew." Ron blabbed.

"You're going to be happy for them." Luna ordered.

"But ew." Ron repeated.

"Please…grow up." Sarah sat down next to them.

"How could you? You had every opportunity to tell me." Ginny said trying to be clam and rational.

"I tried, I tried so hard but I was so scared…" Harry started.

"Of what? I told you, just two days ago that I wasn't going anywhere! I brought up the prophecy and you still didn't tell me." Ginny yelled.

"I didn't want to scare you…I didn't want to lose you." Harry told her trying to take her hand.

"You wouldn't have! If you had only told me the truth." Ginny yelled.

"We were hardly friends when I found out." Harry pointed out.

"And what are we know? Am I still that insignificant to you? Do I not matter at all?" Ginny asked miserably turning away.

"No, you aren't. That's why I didn't tell you, I was afraid of what you'd do, how you'd react." Harry tried to make her see his reasoning.

"Was my reaction what you expected? I'm worried sick now but that doesn't matter at the moment. By not telling me not only am I scared for you, for your life but I'm angry as hell. So now you don't have my support, now we're through." Ginny stomped off.

"Ginny no!" Harry cried.

"Leave me alone!" She yelled back.

Harry threw himself down on the stone steps of Hogwarts, he was scared. What would he do without her, her love and support was the one thing he had that Voldemort didn't. And now he had lost it, now it was all over. Harry wondered how he could possibly survive knowing that he had never got the chance to say he loved her and now she wasn't speaking to him. It was almost impossible to believe it seemed so surreal.

"She'll come around." Neville sat down next to Harry.

"I don't think she will this time." Harry contradicted.

"She loves you, she knows that and she knows you love her, she's just angry." Neville told him.

"She broke up with me, I expected her to be angry but I didn't expect this." Harry shook his head.

"The prophecy was big…I mean I don't know what the rest of it said and I don't want to but I can imagine what it must have been like for her to hear it. When my gran came home from the order meeting after hearing it she was so sad, she hugged me so tightly. I don't know what scared her so much but if it made her so worried I can only imagine what it must have done to Ginny and Ron and Hermione." Neville explained.

"I don't know what to do anymore, she meant so much and now she's gone…" Harry trailed off and stood up walking back into the castle.

--

"Go up and get what you needed, I'll wait here." Fred told Hermione.

"Mmm-kay." Hermione kissed him gently and let it linger as she pulled away slowly.

"I though you had to go get something…" Fred started.

"I just did." Hermione kissed him again and this time he had enough sense to kiss back.

"We really need to get to your class…its potions first." Fred told her stopping the next kiss.

"I know but we have another minute and a half if we run." Hermione drew him back into a kiss.

"For someone who's not ready for a relationship you sure move fast." Fred laughed grabbing her hand and walking out of the portrait hole.

"Slow down." Hermione pulled on his hand.

"We have to run remember." Fred said in a mocking tone.

"We have an extra minute." Hermione pulled his hand so he had to slow down.

"Mi…" A small voice said form behind them.

"Ginny?" Fred turned around.

"I just…broke up..p..p..with…" Ginny broke down into sobs.

"Oh it's okay." Hermione hugged her tightly.

"Shh, it's okay." Fred joined the hug.

"Oh, how cute." Malfoy smirked coming up behind them.

"Shut up Malfoy." Hermione spat.

"What are you going to do about it mudblood?" Malfoy asked.

"Nothing but I will." Ginny said stepping forward.

"What?" Malfoy smirked looking back at his friends.

"SING." Ginny stated and she elbowed him in the solarplexus, stepped on his foot, punched him in the nose and kneed him in the groin.

"Nice punch." Fred said as the three of them ran away.

"Thanks." Ginny smiled weakly.

--

"Miss Granger you're late this is unusual, ten points from Gryffindor." Snape said as Hermione and Fred entered the room.

"Sorry sir." Hermione said sitting next to Harry and Fred sat in the provided seat at the back of the room.

"Where were you?" Harry whispered urgently as she sat down.

"Comforting Ginny." Hermione replied.

"She's the one who broke up with me." Harry whispered furiously.

"I know." Hermione told him.

"Care to share with the class Mr. Potter? Miss Granger?" Snape asked sarcastically.

"Not particularly." Harry replied.

"Detention Mr. Potter and five points from Gryffindor." Snape said icily.

"But…" Fred started.

"Just because I can not take points from you doesn't mean you're allowed to interrupt me." Snape stated powerfully.

"Just leave it Fred." Hermione whispered thankfully undetected by Snape.

"Today we will be starting with the Polyjuice potion, does anyone know how long it takes to brew?" Snape asked, "Mr. Potter?"

"A month, because the………must be harvested at the full moon." Harry answered expertly with Ron and Hermione smiling on either side of him.

"What is the main ingredient Mr. Potter?" Snape asked surprised he had got the first question right.

"Boomslang skin." Harry answered.

"Very well, you may begin." Snape put the instructions for today on the board.

"That was bloody hilarious." Ron said as they collected their ingredients.

"Language Ronald." Hermione scolded.

"I agree." Fred said as they walked past him.

"What's up Harry?" Ron asked as he noticed his silent friend.

"Mmm?" Harry replied looking up.

"What's wrong?" Ron repeated.

"It's just Ginny and I had a fight." Harry said trying to convince his friend he was okay.

"I'm sure it'll be fine." Ron told him.

"I'm not so sure." Harry said and Fred and Hermione shared a look.

--

"Ginny, why won't you talk to me?" Harry asked following her out of the great hall.

Ginny was silent as she walked up the stairs trying her hardest to ignore her ex-boyfriend.

"Please, I'm sorry. I've apologized so many times what else do you want?" Harry pleaded with her.

"For you to leave me alone." Ginny requested and she entered a girl's loo.

"Ginny!' Harry yelled through the doorway.

"Trouble in paradise Potter?" Malfoy walked up to him.

"Why do you care?" Harry asked.

"Because we're friends." Malfoy said sarcastically.

"Right." Harry looked weirded out as he walked away.

"Scared Potter." Malfoy asked.

"You wish." Harry replied and then he heard the thump of a body hitting the ground, whipping around he was surprised to see Malfoy on the ground, Ginny standing over him but her wand wasn't out.

"What was that?' Harry asked walking back towards her.

"A punch." She replied rolling her eyes. Ginny walked away with her head down trying not to cry she didn't want it to be like this but she couldn't trust him. She didn't know if could ever trust him again and she was hurt. Ginny didn't know why he had lied, he said he was afraid of losing her but by not telling her he had done just that. Wouldn't it have been easier for him not to lie in the first place? Then he might have had a chance. But being Harry he had to overreact usual and end up in the wrong place. Ginny said the password and went right through the common room and up to her room without speaking to anyone.

"Ginny!" Ron called, as she was about to enter her room.

No reply was issued to her brother and she heard the sound of Sarah following her.

"Ginny." Sarah knocked on the door first.

"Leave me alone." Ginny requested.

"No." Sarah walked in.

"Please I don't want to talk about it." Ginny said.

"Weren't you the one who broke up with him?" Sarah asked.

"Yes." Ginny said coldly.

"Then why is he taking it so much better than you?" Sarah questioned.

"Because he was the one who caused it." Ginny rolled over so she wasn't facing her friend.

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.

"He lied to me because he was afraid of losing me. He cost us our relationship because of his insecurities and I don't know if I can ever trust him again." Ginny explained a tear rolling down her cheek.

"He loves you, you know." Sarah said.

"I know." Ginny said and she began to sob.
