A/N: The chapter may be a bit confusing at first, but it will come clear at the end and is totally necessary to bring Chapters 1 and three together.
Chapter 1: Ginny's Visions
Ginny watched in horror as the events unfolded before her. Snape could kill her at any moment, Voldemort was going to kill Harry, and the man who was once the family rat was pleading with them to kill Harry faster.
'Harry is going to die and it's my fault! How could I have been so stupid!' She didn't dare concentrate on anything but Harry. Harry's wand was focused on Voldemort. She watched as his eyes closed, she despaired. He was accepting his fate, now she had to accept hers . . .
Her vision blurred, she remembered.
She was standing at the train station, she was with her mother, who was complaining about Muggles. She saw Ron, looking very nervous, and there was Fred and George, the twins, and even Percy. She watched as Percy went through the column and straight into Platform 9 3/4. Her mother told Fred to go next.
"I'm not Fred, he's Fred" said the twin. "Honestly woman and you call yourself our mother!"
"I'm sorry George," said Mrs. Weasley.
"I'm only joking, I am Fred!" said the twin as he and his brother went to the platform. As another boy arrived. He had messy black hair glasses that were taped together and the most gorgeous set of green eyes Ginny had ever seen. He was shy, and a bit timid. He was asking how he could get onto the platform.
Fred and George later told her that the boy who they helped onto the train that day was in fact Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived.
The vision cleared as she found herself back at home. She was walking down the stairs following the sweet smell of breakfast and the sound of laughter and happiness, despite that her mum had just been yelling at someone. As she turned the corner her eyes grew wide in disbelief. It was him! Harry Potter! Her heart started fluttering uncontrollably as she ran back up the stairs, if anything she hadn't anticipated that. Then she heard Fred -or George, she couldn't tell which- tell Harry how he had been the object of her obsession all summer! She was so embarrassed...
Despite the embarrassment at the vision changed for a second time she was filled with fear, dread and despair. She was in a dark cavern, she knew all too well, deep underneath Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ginny Weasley felt a chill run down her spine as she realized was in the Chamber of Secrets. She was alone with Harry, the Basilisk had been slain, and he was hurt. The Basilisk's poison was coursing through his veins, he was about die.
She felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest. Harry had come down to save her. He had saved her, and now he was about to die because of her. Despite what he had told her, she would not leave him. She could not! 'No! Not Harry! He doesn't deserve to die like this!' she had thought to herself both then and now. Then something unexpected happened. A phoenix came, the one that belonged to Professor Dumbledore. Harry had said something to it, she couldn't tell what it was though because his voice had become weaker, he was fading and there was nothing she could do. Then the unexpected happened as Fawkes healed Harry's wound and cured him of the poison. Although a small scar remained as a reminder of the battle, Harry was going to be alright. He truly was the Boy Who Lived.
The next vision was years later and she felt a warm feeling course through her body as she remembered what had happened. The common room was alive with celebration. They had done it for the second year in a row, and all because of her. She had beaten Cho Chang of Ravenclaw to retrieve the golden snitch, to secure the Quidditch Cup! Everyone was there talking excitedly having a blast, even Hermione Granger, who normally had her nose stuck in a book.
There was still just one person missing, the person who should have been there instead of her. As if summoned by her thoughts the portrait opened, and a boy, who had definitely grown over the years, stepped through. He looked around the room watching everyone around him. A smile came to his face as the realization of what had happened set in.
Their eyes met.
It seemed like an eternity had gone by, as they moved closer to each other, neither one realizing what was happening. She nearly jumped into his arms and they kissed each other, passionately, as if it was the most natural thing to do. Realization then set in, as they finally caught up with their emotions, they just stared into each others eyes.
It was unexpected, but not unwelcome.
Harry quickly averted his eyes to another corner of the room. Her eyes followed. She watched as Ron gave a slight nod of approval, his face still in shock and awe of what had just happened. Obviously, Harry had been trying to keep his feelings hidden from himself as well, if he didn't even tell Ron. She smiled and looked into the emerald eyes she had notice the first time she saw him. They kissed again, leaving all of the Gryphondors in a shocked silence. It was the happiest moment in her life when she realized that Harry James Potter loved her as much as she had loved him for the past five years!
Now she was back in the cemetery. But things were different. Harry looked younger than before. Wormtail was there, but Snape was missing. The other Death Eaters ignored her as if she wasn't there. Harry was facing off against Voldemort, their wands locked together, both glowing with a golden aura. She looked around trying to get her bearing on the situation. Then her face turned white as she saw a body off in the distance. It was Cedric Diggory. Yet, she was confused. 'I hadn't been there when Cedric died, I shouldn't have a memory of this!'
Before she could give it much thought, she watched fear enter Voldemort's eyes and Determination only get stronger in Harry's.
'Harry was winning, he was beating Voldemort!' Ginny thought excitedly.
Then she watched as Cedric, an old man, and what appeared to be Harry's parents appear from the between the wands. They all appeared to be cheering him on, encouraging Harry. She even heard Cedric's final request. Harry broke the bond between them, and collapsed as fatigue overcame him. The spirits all converged on Voldemort blocking both the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters from attacking an injured Harry as he was dragging Cedric's body to the Tri-Wizard Championship Trophy.
As Cedric and Harry disappeared she found herself by the lake at Hogwarts.
She watched Sirius collapse as he changed out of his dog form. A chill ran down her spine as she watched Harry come chasing after him, hundreds of dementors filled the skies. 'I wasn't here for this one either! It's almost as if...' realization came to her, 'These are Harry's memories! He had been in all of the memories so far. It's almost as if he's trying to show me something...'
She watched as Harry tried to cast a spell. "Expecto Patronum!" A light shield appeared and repelled three dementors and broke as the a fourth one attacked. He tried to cast the spell again, but he didn't have the power to do so.
"Don't worry," she heard Harry behind her.
'If Harry's here with Hermione, who is over there with Sirius?'
"My dad will come, he'll save us!" He was talking to Hermione, who looked doubtful.
"It looks like you're dying..." said Hermione sadly. Harry's expression of hope turned to worry as if he was expecting something to happen, but it wasn't.
'Somehow he and Hermione went back in time...' she noted.
He thoughts were interrupted by a strong sense of happiness as she heard the Harry closer to her shout out "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
A bright light burst from his wand in a giant shockwave and a stag emerged, turning back all the dementors within the area. She had never seen a Patronus Charm this strong, not even in the D.A. meetings, when Harry had taught them all how to do it. Never had she been prouder of Harry.
Once again the vision changed and she found herself in a cave, filled with dark power. She watched in horror as she saw Harry forcing a mysterious potion down Dumbledore's throat. Dumbledore begged Harry repeatedly to stop, but Harry kept forcing him to drink it. At long last Harry was able to retrieve a locket, one she recognized at once. Just then, Harry and Dumbledore were attacked, but then the vision took her to the top of the Astronomy Tower.
Harry was gone, and Dumbledore was leaning against a wall, weak and wandless. Draco Malfoy had his wand on Dumbledore, about to curse him. At once she realized what was going on and why she didn't see Harry. He was under the invisibility cloak! She looked over at the Death Eaters, there were six total. Fenrir Greyback, the one who attacked her brother Bill, three she didn't recognize, Draco and Snape.
"Serverus... p-please... h-help me..." Dumbledore pleaded helplessly.
"Avada Kedavra!"
'No!' she screamed in her thoughts as she watched Snape hit Dumbledore with the killing curse. Dumbledore was sent over the side of the tower wall to the ground below. She was frozen in shock as the Death Eaters ran back to the battle below. A second later Harry threw off the cloak and gave chase.
She saw the vision change again, and found herself in the Department of Mysteries. Death Eaters and Order members were battling each other. She saw Moody, Lupin and Tonks. Sirius was off in the distance battling Bellatrix Lestrange.
"Is that all you can do?" Sirius shouted at her taunting, only to bit hit square in the chest by her next curse.
At once she felt Harry's anguish.
"NO!" Harry shouted "SIRIUS!" as Sirius Black fell through the arch with the veil.
"There is nothing you can do for him Harry, Sirius.." before Lupin could finish, Harry broke away as Bellatrix then defeated Kingsley Shacklebolt and ran.
Harry went after her, desperate to avenge Sirius Black.
He caught up to her as she got to the exit.
"Crucio!" Ginny heard someone yell.
To her surprise it was Harry, he used an Unforgivable Curse.
"Crucio!" Harry cast the curse again. Bellatrix screamed in pain, but then she started laughing.
"Righteous anger isn't enough to cause me pain for too long!" Bellatrix told him, "You must really enjoy it, Crucio!" she fired the curse at Harry as he dodged behind the statue of the wizard.
The vision changed and she saw a man with untidy black hair looking out the window at something. He turned around, 'Harry?' Ginny thought for a second. 'No, not Harry, the eyes are wrong, and there's no scar...'
"Lily, they're here! I don't know how but he's here!" the man said, talking to someone behind her. "Take Harry and run! I'll hold them off as long as possible!"
She turned and saw a strikingly beautiful woman with long red hair and amazing emerald eyes holding a child in her arms with those same eyes.
'A baby Harry' Ginny let herself become distracted from what was happening.
"But James.." Lily started to say.
"No buts Lily, get Harry out of here! I won't let him take either of you as long as I live!"
Ginny snapped back to reality as she realized what was about to happen. Lily went up the stairs as she watched the front door open and with a flash of green light, James Potter fell to the ground. Ginny chased after Lily. She watched as Lily placed Harry back into his crib.
'How does Harry have this memory, he shouldn't have been able to remember all of this!' Ginny thought to herself.
She watched as Lily searched for her wand. She didn't have it. She panicked as she watched the door open, knowing James was dead. Voldemort stepped through, but ignored Lily completely. He went straight for Harry, and raised his wand.
"No! Not Harry! I won't let you take him!" Lily was screaming frantically, "Please don't kill my son!"
"Stand aside," said Voldemort, "You need not sacrifice yourself."
"No! Please! I'll gladly give myself for him! Please don't kill my son!" Lily frantically begged the Dark Lord, "Please don't kill my Harry!"
Voldemort smiled, "Fine! If you're so desperate to die! I shall oblige you!" He turned his wand on Lily Potter and with a flash of green light she too collapsed just as James had before.
Voldemort then turned to Harry a smile on his face, "With them out of the way, it's time I to do what I came here for!" He then lifted the wand and pointed it at the right side of Harry's forehead, "Avada Kedavra!"
'He wasn't after the Harry's parents after all, he was after Harry...' Ginny realized.
After the green flash of light, Ginny found herself standing with Harry by the lake at Hogwarts. She looked around and saw the chairs and the white tomb in the distance. Dumbledore's funeral. Tears were streaming down her face from the last vision and what is was about to see in this one. She didn't want to see this vision. Harry reached up and wiped the tears from her face.
"Don't worry Gin, everything is going to be fine," he told her. The vision was different from what she remembered. "Gin?"
"Harry..." she was still a bit emotional, it wasn't a vision at all, this time he was really talking to her!
A/N: So how was this chapter? It's a little bit different from how I first wrote it, but I think the changes were necessary. Next chapter will be Harry's explanation of everything and how it fits together and then the battle between good and evil will continue.
