As Ginny's words met Harry's ears, there was a silence unlike anything Harry had ever experienced. It was the kind of silence that one usually dreaded; the silence that followed horrible life changing events. Harry didn't understand why he was experiencing such feelings. He thought that the news Ginny just brought him would be joyous, but somehow…he felt empty.
When he finally looked up after five dreadful minutes, he realized Ginny was blurry…He was crying.
"Harry…what's wrong?" Ginny said, with the sweet voice of an angel.
"It's gone? I mean…you're sure?" Harry asked, though quickly stopping after his voice cracked.
"Yes, now what is the matter…aren't you happy?"
The truth was…he wasn't. Voldemort had been the one who gave him that dreadful mark…so why did he want it back so bad? Then he realized it…it all tied back into the love aspect…he had lost his one memory of his mother. He had lost his one shield from all evil.
"Oh, no…" Harry said, then trailing off, shaking his head vigorously "…no, no, it's over…it has to be!"
"Harry it is! What are you talking about!" Ginny said with concern.
With tears running down his ruddy cheeks, he felt a searing pain going through where his scar used to be.
"Ginny…gather everyone…this battle is far from over."
