Chapter 9-Be With you Forever

Strangely, Harry remembered how to get to the place where him and Voldemort had fought. It took him around a half hour to get there, but he did it.

They had fought in a cave. Harry felt that it was an odd place for Voldemort to want to fight the Final Battle. He would have thought that Voldemort would have wanted to go to someplace like Hogwarts. But who really knew what Voldemort was thinking?

Harry looked around The Cave. Harry began to wonder who discovered Voldemort's body. He had so many questions, there were so little answers. Who was going to tell him the answers? Suddenly, Harry heard a pop behind him. He turned around and saw somebody he definitely wasn't expecting to see.

"Snape?" he said.

Snape laughed. "Well, I'm glad you know my name."

Harry felt a surge of anger pass through his body. He hated Snape so much.

"What do you want?" Harry asked him.

Snape began walking around the cave. "Well, I came here because I thought you would be here, of course. See, I went by way of muggle air transportation to a local airport and then I apparated here. You know, you are so predictable, Potter."

Harry was confused. "Why did you come here to see me? What do I have to do with anything?"

Snape laughed. "You really are dumb. You don't remember anything?"

Harry shook his head. Then stopped. "Wait, how do you know I don't remember anything?"

"Well, because I know everything. I know what happened to you during those two years." said Snape.

Harry looked at him. "How the hell do you know what happened?"

"Draco, Potter. Draco was behind it all. He told me before he committed suicide. He told me everything. He couldn't take it that he caused you so much pain for two years." said Snape.

Harry wasn't sure if this was the truth. "How did he do it?"

Snape sighed. "After you killed the Dark Lord, he came to you. You were unconscious. He used a spell to transport you to another place. I believe he told me it was a remote town in Africa. Anyway, he used to torture you everyday. He made you pay for vanquishing the Dark Lord. He worshiped him very much."

"How did he torture me?"

Snape cleared his throat. "Well, he used Crucio a numerous amount of times. Sectumsempra, was a popular one too." A brief, evil smile spread across his face.

"Why did he let me go?"

"He got bored with it. And he made sure you didn't remember anything." said Snape.

Harry still wasn't sure if he trusted Snape. "And he told you all this before he killed himself?"

Snape nodded. "Yes," he paused. "Oh and he told me one more thing. He told me to finish you off."

Snape got out his wand and pointed it at Harry.

Out of nowhere, Harry heard a piercing scream. It sounded like a woman screaming. Snape turned around. Behind him was Ginny. She had tears streaming down her face.

"Don't you kill him! And why aren't you in Azkaban?" said Ginny.

Wait, Harry thought. He was suppose to be in Azkaban. And so was Draco. What the hell was going on here?

"Why aren't you in Azkaban, Snape?" Harry asked him.

Snape laughed. "You both are so stupid. Alright, it was me and Draco who tortured you for two years. And let me tell you something Potter, I enjoyed it. It was almost like torturing your father. It felt almost like sweet revenge. But I knew it wasn't. And I'm going to finish you off right here in front of your precious girlfriend."

Ginny screamed again. She wasn't going to watch Harry get killed. She pulled out her wand and shot a bat-bogey hex at Snape.

It gave her just enough time to run over to Harry. When she got to him, she hugged him. She whispered in his ear, "Don't ever leave me."

Harry whispered back, "I won't. I promise."

Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw Snape get up from the ground. Harry let go of Ginny and took out his wand. He shouted, "Expelliarmus."

Harry smiled. "Way too useful of a spell."

Snape smiled back. "Do you think you can kill me, Potter?"

"Of course I can, but I won't. Killing one person is enough for me," Harry turned to Ginny, "Go to the Ministry of Magic and get somebody. I don't care who, just get somebody."

Ginny nodded and apparated to The Ministry Of Magic.

Harry was left alone with Snape.

"You know I can apparate out of here." said Snape.

"But you won't. If you do, I will spend the rest of my life if that's what it takes to find you and your sorry ass. I promise." said Harry.

"I'm sure you will." said Snape.

And before Harry could stop him, Snape apparated.

Harry swore under his breath. He let Snape get away. Shortly, Ginny apparated back with Rufus Scrimgeour. Harry told them both that Snape was gone.

Scrimgeour nodded. "Don't worry, Potter. We'll catch him."

Then, Scrimgeour apparated, leaving Harry and Ginny all alone.

Ginny walked closer to Harry. She sighed and then said, "Harry I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to marry you, have children with you, and even grow wrinkly and old with you."

Harry smiled. "Me too."

He walked over to her. He leaned in close to her and kissed her softly on the lips. After he pulled away, Ginny smiled.

"I've missed that." she said.

Harry laughed. "Yeah, me too, I guess."

Ginny was laughing too. Harry locked eyes with her.

"So how about that getting married thing? Why don't we get on with that?" he asked her.

Ginny nodded. "I think we should get on with it. But first, I'll have to break up with Dean. I'm sure he'll understand. That's the thing about him. I do feel sorry for him, though."

"Well, I'll make sure and talk to him." said Harry.

"Want to go home?" Ginny asked Harry.

"Where is home?"

"The Burrow, of course." said Ginny, smiling.

They both apparated back to The Burrow. Everyone was happy to see that they both returned home safe. As soon as they got home, Harry told the entire story of how Snape and Draco were behind his disapperance. Hermione and Ron were both in shock. Ginny tried hard not to laugh at Hermione's hair. It was in a very messy state. Ginny could only assume why it was that way.

That night, they all sat down for dinner. It had been a long time since everybody was together. Well, with the exception of Charlie. But otherwise, they were all there.

Ginny sat next to Harry. She was holding his hand most of the time. She never wanted to let him go. She wanted to hold it forever. She wanted to hold him forever. And that was what she was going to do. Be with Harry forever.
