Chapter 22

Harry woke late during the day. He found himself alone in the common room when he got up from the couch and put on his glasses.

He scratched the back of his head as he stood up from the couch. Where were they? Hr put on his robe that lied on the side of the couch.

"Harry!" He quickly turned his head to the voice of Hermione. "I think I found out the book. Draco and Ron are both down stairs hurry!"

Harry quickly made his way to the portrait towards Hermione. They ran down the corridors and fleets of stairs as fast as they could.

"What is the rush for Hermione!" Harry asked as they got to the doors.

"There is only a certain time that this will work." She said

They opened the doors "C'mon you two." Hermione said to Ronald and Draco as they continued to run down towards the lake.

They got there. The lake was completely empty. Except for one girl.

Long black hair half way down her back and red streaks through it. Rina picked off the petals of a flower staring into mid space as though in a trance.

"I'm really sad you have to leave Harry." She said, "You are a really nice person."

Draco gave an odd look at Harry as though he thought Rina was insane. "Please be careful Harry." She said

"Rina are you alright?" Harry asked

"I can only tell you this. Kass, Rae and Lily will be all right; they'll go back to leading normal lives. You don't have to worry about them." Her voice seemed broken, or scared.

Harry walked beside her. He looked at her; her face seemed emotionless as she stared at the lake. But her eyes were welded with tears

"Harry if you do not go now you will never be able to go back. Please leave." She said

"Rina I can't leave you looking like this."

She turned her head and looked at Harry. 'I took on a responsibility long time ago Harry, you can't worry about me. Just follow Hermione. She knows what she is doing."

"Rina-"

She closed her eyes tightly "You have to go now!" she said firmly "I have to stay."

Harry was extremely confused. But he walked away from her slowly.

"Goodbye Harry I will miss you."

"Harry we have to go now." Hermione said holding the rock in one hand and her bag on her back. "When we hit the bottom you have to grab the rock before resurfacing."

He nodded "bye Rina."

"Count of three we jump. He have to hold out hands in a circle. One, two three."

They jumped. As soon as Harry hit the surface of the water he heard Rina scream. They all let go of hands. The rock lied beneath Harry, He grabbed it quickly. He had to see what happened to Rina.

He pushed off the bottom of the floor. Why did Rina scream? He swam to the surface as fast as he could. As he hit the fresh air he didn't see Rina sitting there. In Her place was the red headed Ginny picking off petals of a flower.

Ginny's head jolted up as soon as she heard something rise to the surface. Her frown was replaced with a look of surprisement then quickly replaced with joy.

"Harry!" she got up and ran to the shoreline of the lake.

Ron, Hermione and Draco surfaced beside him. Ron coughed up some water as Hermione wiped away her long wet hair from her eyes.

Harry lifted himself out of the water onto the grass next to Ginny.

"Everyone has been looking for you the last few days. Where have you been?"

Harry looked at Hermione who had a you-know-what-to-do look on her face.

"We went to look for Voldemort." He lied. Even is he had told her she would not believe him

Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry "I'm so glad your okay."

Harry put his arms around Ginny softly and held her.

No she wouldn't be believe he had met there children, that he went to a time where he did not belong to. She wouldn't believe the truth and Rae, Lily, Kass and Keanu. She would never know of Rina.

Not yet.

And with that the stone dropped out of Harry's hand into the water to stay there

Not yet ginny.
