Chapter Two
Our Last Kiss
(A/N: This chapter may make you cry. I did warn you.)
-We were out on a date in my daddy's car.-
Ginny laughed as Draco whispered a very naughty suggestion in her ear. She pulled back from him as much as their clasped hands would allow.
"Master Draco! I hardly think that is appropriate behavior for a young lady. Especially one such as I!" She cried in mock indignation.
Draco grinned. "And just what kind of a lady are you?"
Ginny tried to conceal her grin. "The kind that is very much enamored of you."
Draco returned the grin and pulled her close.
-We hadn't driven very far.-
The music died down and Draco's grin further widened. "Come love, time to show them what we really brought them here for."
Ginny cast a confused look at him. "I'll be interested in that too."
He doesn't reply, just continues to grin and drew her onto the balcony. Ginny was suddenly aware of the hundreds of people filling the Ballroom of Malfoy Manor. She huddled clse to Draco. He puts his arm around her waist.
-There in the road, straight ahead-
"We have an announcement to make!" Draco stated, his voice echoing through the hall. Ginny wondered what he was talking about. They hadn't discussed anything before hand. There was nothing to talk about unless... Oh my.
Ginny's train of thought was confirmed when Draco fell to one knee before her.
"Ginny Weasley, will you Marry me?"
-A life was paused, the engine was dead.-
Ginny stood before her family, the man she loved, all her friends and their families. The man she had loved for the past seven years was asking her the question that she had often fantasized about. He was asking her to marry him. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she opened her mouth to reply.
-I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.-
The wall behind them burst open with a terrifying roar as scores of Death Eaters filed in. Ginny expected wide spread panic, but to her surprise, there was none. She looked out over the gathered people and noticed something. There were no children present. Hermione, who was rarely without her baby daughter Elvira, was free of the child and drawing a wand from her dress.
They had been prepared, Ginny realized.
-I'll never forget the sound that night.-
She suddenly remembered Draco's own insistance that she bring her wand.
She looked over at her fiance, to see him face to face with Voldemort. "No!" She gasped, running forward, but Draco stopped her. He gently stepped once more between her and her childhood fear.
"I can't let you have her." Draco stated calmly. He pressed something into Ginny's hand.
"So be it." Voldemort hissed. He aimed his wand and before any could react and shot Draco in the chest with a spell.
-The screamin tires, the bustin glass.-
"Nooo!" Ginny screamed as Draco was propelled past her and over the railing. She ran to the railing , watching his body fall down. Ginny would later swear he smiled at her.
- The painful scream that I heard last.-
The entire battle, everything paused for a moment as Ginny's scream echoed across the room.
-Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The lord took him away from me.
He's gone to heaven,
So I've got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.-
Rain dripped onto Ginny's head from the shattered ceiling. It ran dark streaks through her crimson hair. Tears blended to coat her cheeks.
-When I woke up the rain was pourin down. there were people standin all around.-
"Poor little girl."
Ginny looked up at Voldemort and the gaggle of Death Eaters. She recognized some of them. Lucius, Bella, Macnair...
"Now you realize, you're alone." Voldemort continued.
-Something warm flowing through my eyes. but somehow I found my baby that night.-
Ginny looked down at the small token that Draco had given her, that she had dropped when reaching for him. A gold and diamond engagement band.
No she was not alone.
-I lifted his head, he looked at me and said.-
A booted foot kicked the ring from the balcony and into the melee below.
"You have always been alone. You will always be alone. Like I told you in the Chamber. You will die alone."
-Hold me darling, just a little while.-
A ragged shard of glass lay beside Ginny's hand. She considered plunging it into her heart rather than listen to this twat go on. Really, eight months during her first year convinced her he liked to hear himself talk.
-I held him close, I kissed him our last kiss.-
"Harry has destroyed all your Horcruxes." Ginny stated.
Voldemort sneered. "But he has yet to kill me. The poor boy can't do anything right."
-I found the love that I knew I had missed.-
Ginny looked up into his heartless face. "The prophecy said Harry would destroy you."
"Do you honestly think I cannot make more? I only appear now to destory him before continuing life eternal. Would you like to share it with me? Yes, Ginevra, I think that will be your punishment. To live forever, never seeing heaven and your lost love."
-Well now he's gone.-
Ginny studied his face. "So you made no new ones before coming here?"
He sneered once again. "One little boy cannot destory me."
-Even though I hold him tight.-
Ginny looked away again. "Then I think it's time for you to taste death."
With out hesitation or even blinking, Ginny snatched up the shard of glass and thrust it into Voldemort's neck.
-I lost my love, my life, that night.-
The Death Eaters stared for a moment as their leader bled to death before a small young woman. Then they attacked en masse.
-Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?-
Ginny was no longer alone though. While talking, she had given Harry, Ron and Hermione time to reach the balcony. The trio attacked and effortlessly wiped out the group.
-The lord took him away from me.-
All were stunned to see the fallen form of Voldemort, blood still dripping from his neck, bent double, as though paying homage, before the small figure of Ginny Weasley, tears still streaming down her freckled cheeks.
-He's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.-
(A/N: I almost cried writing this chapter! Sorry about the delay, I didn't know this fic would be popular so I didn't have a sequel in mind when I started. There is going to be a third chapter, but beyond that, i don't know.
To mwah- glad you liked!
