The end chp4

Harry grabbed one of the broomsticks and headed to the opening of the cave. He scanned through the cave on time and noticed the bag beside the fire. There might be food in and since Harry was so hungry he dropped the broomstick and went to pick up the bag. He looked inside and saw only the flask of water. He took it out and fastened it around is waist. He wondered how long it would take him to get to a place where he could eat and so he looked at the map. The fire was dimming and he had to look quickly before it went out. He understood how to fly to get to London. He had no idea how long it would take but he'd do his best to make it really fast.

The fire died out completely when a gush of wind came through the cave. There was a light moaning sound as the wind went deeper into the cave. Harry heard a reply moan from inside the cave and stood to hear more.

Harry jumped when he heard the loud crack behind him. He turned and tried to see in the dark. He walked into the starlight and to his shock the stone table was empty. Not only that but the table was also broken in countless pieces. Just when Harry turned his eyes on Draco's body, his body turned to dust before Harry's eyes. Harry looked between the cracks of the stone table and saw Katrina's clothes. That turned to dust too the second Harry looked away.

"Why are you looking for the grave of one who isn't dead?" a voice said from the darkness of the cave. Harry could see a white figure walk out of the darkness.

"Katrina!" Harry exclaimed when he saw it was she.

"I need a new name, one that wouldn't tire by being called so much." She said with a smile. She was wearing a white robe with gold embroidered in. when she was completely in the light of the stars, Harry noticed that her hair was glowing a light gold.

"What shall I call you?" Harry asked. He didn't understand why she was here but went along with it.

"What do you want to call me?"

"Anything?"

"Yes!"

"How did this happen? I mean I killed you…"

"Have you never heard about personal sacrifice? Well, it's all big words and no understanding but what it comes down to is: I sacrificed myself to be killed by the enemy (you) – furthermore the bind I had with the dark side had been removed. We broke the binding that death has upon good people. And the binding that Voldamort had on those who don't want it. When he dies, all will be right with the world."

"So you're not one of them?" Harry asked.

"No! Look" she held out her arm and Harry saw the clean flesh where the dark mark had been.

"What do you want to call me?" she asked again.

"Grace!" he said after long consideration. She blushed slightly and nodded.

"That's a good one." She said.

"Gracie Goodspeed, how about that?"

"Sounds good, shall we go?" she replied. Harry nodded and they headed to the brooms.

When they landed in London hours later they were rather exhausted.

"Where to from here Gracie?" Harry asked.

"I have a place."

They flew to Gracie's destination that was a regular looking house in the suburbs.

"This is it," she said as she admired the place.

"Yours?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I had to prepare myself for this day… so I bought a house and brought enough stuff here to survive for a while."

"What are we waiting for then?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, lets go!" they stepped up to the door. Gracie took the key out of a hiding place and unlocked the door. Harry motioned for her to enter first and he followed after.

"Oh and Harry…thank you for helping me. You gave me freedom… I'll always be grateful for that." She pronounced.

"Anytime, Gracie, anytime!"
