Chapter 16: - No Smoke Without Fire

Smoke billowed from behind her, the flames licked at the stone of the ancient castle. Students were collapsed on the grass gasping for air, black smudges adorning their faces. She heard a yell and whipped around, her hair matched the colour of the fire and collided with her face. She saw the blonde man wielding his wand escaping the ruin. She felt her throat constrict and her heart stop, the baby nestled in her arms felt like a lead bundle. The man stopped dead in his tracks staring at her, all sounds of coughing and screaming ceased to be heard by either of them. Another man stepped between them and yelled,

"Expelliarmus!" The blonde's wand flew into the others outstretched hand. The blonde shot backwards, his head colliding with a rock, she screamed and ran to his side.

"Drac," she gasped. Blood poured from a wound in the back of his skull. "Draco." He smiled at her weakly, his eyes looked at the baby she held. He extended his hand to her, she took it and he gave it a reassuring squeeze before his body fell limp. She bowed her head slightly then noticing a glimmer of silver of the ground she smiled secretly. Her lips brushed his forehead and a single tear dropped from her eye. She seized the dagger and hiding it under the girl she stood and approached the other man.

"Ginny?" he asked.

"Harry, oh I've been so horrid," she sobbed. Retrieving the knife she hugged him, the baby resting between them and when she was in an opportune position she drove the metal weapon into his back. She pushed him away, watching him fall to the ground and stood proudly over his body.

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME, HARRY BLOODY POTTER. NO IDEA AT ALL! HOW DARE YOU KILL HIM, I LOVED HIM. AND YOU COULDN'T HANDLE THAT. YOU DESERVE EVERY BIT OF PUNISHMENT HE GIVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE BOTH IN HADES," she shouted. The man she'd stabbed was now dead; she was going to take control. Life imprisonment in Azkaban was not an issue, with her Father in law as Minister of Magic no-one would dare send her there. Her fiery red hair blew around her; she was in charge.
