BREATHE NO MORE

Chapter 11: A Second Life
Ginny woke up. She opened her eyes, but closed them instantly. Blinding light was all she could see. A blinding, white light that surrounded everything. Was this heaven? She didn't feel right, so it couldn't be. She looked around, confused, blinking. Where was she? She remembered Voldemort trying to probe at her mind, torturing her, blood, tears, Draco…oh, Merlin, he must be worried! Ginny thought. She looked at her robes. She wasn't wearing them! It looked like a wight nightgown or hospital gown muggles used was what she was wearing at the time. She stood and waited for somebody to come, and when no one did, she was getting frantic.
"Mum? Draco? Blaise? Harry? WHERE IS EVERYONE! WHERE AM I!"she cried. Another trick of Voldemort's? A trick of her own?
"My child, you are with us…"
"Who are you? Where are you? I don't see anyone!"Ginny exclaimed.
"Look harder, child…"
Ginny closed her eyes and thought hard. When she reopened them, she blinked. Four people stood in front of her. Two were girls and two were guys. The guys: one was wearing a Hogwarts Gryffindor robe on and one was wearing a Hogwarts Slytherin robe on. The girls: One Ravenclaw and one Hufflepuff. The faces she were staring at were: Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin!
"But how? Am I…?"
"No you are not, Gailie Slytherin."
"…what? No, I am not Gailie. My name is Ginny Weasley!"
"How dare they mess with my child's mind,"Salazar growled.
"Calm down, don't make a scene,"Godric stated.
"Easy for you to say, your daughter wasn't manipulated."
"My daughter is dead and at peace, and I highly wish for you not to speak of her!"Godric exclaimed furiously.
"Calm down!"Rowena exclaimed. "Gryffindor, Slytherin! Always the enemies. I am glad Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw get along…we have more matters at hand. Gailie, that is your true name child. You are Slytherin's child. You were given another life."
"But…why?"Ginny/Gailie asked.
"Because you were to fullfill a mission."
"…if Slytherin is my father, that is why I am in that house?"Ginny/Gailie asked. Rowena nodded. "Then, who is my mother?"
Rowena Ravenclaw looked down. "I-I am."
Ginny blinked. This was too weird! Coughing up blood once, Slytherin and Ravenclaw are her parents, the next! Too much! TMI!
"But…wh — "
"You have to return Ginny, everyone is waiting for you,"Godric said, no matter how much that annoyed Salazar.
"My Gailie, take this, as a reminder." Salazar pulled out a necklace and put it around her neck. It was a locket with a snake on it. Symbol of Slytherin house. "You may not remember me…or your mother…but we remember you…"
Ginny nodded, tears in her eyes. She hugged each of the founders of Hogwarts, and disappeared. "Bye. I'll ways remember you and I'll meet you in the afterlife someday!"
Hospital Wing—
Everyone was crying. They had lost her. Ginny. She was dead. Beyond repair. She was in Heaven now.
"We've lost her…"Madam Pomfrey said, sadly.
The first thing Ginny heard when she felt to be back in her body was her mother's scream. People. Were crying. For her? Nobody cried for her. Her whole house was there with her. She felt it. Besides Pansy and Millicent. Ron, Harry and Hermione were there. Her family, all of them, were there. The teachers of Hogwarts were there. Everyone was crying. Some too bold to even admit they were.
"W-What's that?"she heard Ron ask.
"What, d-d-dearie?"Mrs Weasley asked.
"The locket she is wearing…"
'Dad…'she thought.
"There's a picture in— Oh, Merlin!"Mrs Weasley exclaimed.
"Let me have a look, Molly…oh dear,"that was Dumbledore speaking. What was the picture? Of her and the house founders? Of her, her father and mother? WHAT!
She groaned. She felt someone checking her pulse. "She's alive!"
Everyone was crying tears of relief. Ginny opened her eyes to find everyone staring at her. She was shocked to find Draco being the first one to hug her. He held her tight, and from the look of it, he was shaking madly. He kissed her forhead. "Oh, G-Ginny…"
"M-M-Malfoy, get your lips o-o-off her!"
"R-R-Ron, S-S-SHUT UP!"Hermione exclaimed crying, the second to hug Ginny.
After everyone hugged her, she noticed the locket was open. She took it in her hands, and everyone seemed to be avoiding her eyes. She looked at the picture. Of her, as Gailie Slytherin, her mother Rowena Ravenclaw, and her father Salazar Slytherin.
"Can it be, that Gailie Slytherin has returned?"
