1So I think there's one more chapter after this. The songs mentioned in the last chapter, the first is called 'sominex' and is from Little Shop of Horrors and the second one is 'Prop me up beside the juke box' by Joe Diffie. My last comment is that I have joined a fabulous website that I think all Harry Potter fans should join. It's called , www dot object of desire dot proboards 92 dot com
of course the dots are actual dots and there are no spaces. Check it out
Chapter 8
Harry Potter was stunned to say the least. He had learned so many things in so little time that it was making his head spin. He had saved the wizarding world from destruction, then he found himself in a hallway and later a room with a huge screen. As if that wasn't enough he was greeted by his family and they had told him he was dead. However, none of this bothered him as much as the thought of what was going on down on Earth. Ginny. He missed her already, how was she taking the news?
So he was, of course, overjoyed when the rest of the room had agreed that they'd watch Ginny. As the witch left the room the screen turned on, Harry looked up to see Ginny sitting in a chair in the kitchen of the Burrow. Her eyes darting to the window every so often. She was biting on her bottom lip and kneading her hands.
"She doesn't know yet." Harry sighed, he wasn't sure if he wanted to watch this or not.
"She doesn't?" Sirius asked.
"No look at her. She always bites her lip when she's worried. She doesn't know I'm dead, but I think she feels something isn't right." The rest didn't have time to remark as Ginny broke out into her little song. It showed both that she was worried and uneasy.
"You know her well, son." James commented.
"Of course I do, I love her." Harry said as he watched Ginny out of the corner of his eye.
"Harry, you both are so young! And I feel you got carried away in certain aspects of your relationship. I think maybe from the threat of dying hanging over your heads." Lily said calmly and sternly.
"And the worst part is if Lily hadn't had the common sense to turn it off, we probably would have watched the whole thing." James exclaimed.
"What are you talking about ?" Harry asked puzzled.
"I mean the thing you do to create babies." Lily sighed.
"Now that you mention it Lily, you could have knocked her up!"Sirius came into the conversation.
"Sirius!"
"What?"
"You could have phrased that better." Lily scolded and Dumbledore, who had sat in a recliner away from the family because he didn't feel it was any of his buisness, chuckled.
"Wait, you guys thought we did that?" Harry asked.
"Yeah we saw you on top of her in her bed!" James exclaimed.
"Then you turned the screen off?"
"Yeah."
"You should have kept the screen on." Harry smiled.
"Harry! We didn't want to see that!" Lily said eyes wide.
"You wouldn't. We stopped before it got out of hand." Harry informed them.
"Oh!"
"Well done Harry!" That was the last said on the subject because Harry noticed Ginny suddenly go to the window. He walked right up to the screen, on edge.
"Harry we can't see her, your blocking her from us." So Harry moved back and sat on the edge of a recliner. By that time Ginny had walked to the door, then they watched her move to the living room. Finally they watched as Ron and Hermione brought him in; Harry feeling weird seeing his own dead body. Then Ginny's reaction came, breaking their hearts. They continued to watch her mourn as she left the room, got a visit from Hermione and read his letter. For the rest of the day they watched her as she stayed in her room, curled up in her bed like a wounded dog.
She barely left that position for the next month, leaving the room only to go to the bathroom. Her mother brought food up but she only ate enough to make her mum happy. Harry was dying inside, watching her, why couldn't she let him go and move on; she deserved to be happy not wasting away in a dark room!
Then one day she got up and took a shower and dressed in new clothes. Harry jumped up and down with joy as he saw this. Could this mean she would be alright? She slowly walked down the stairs and suddenly Harry realized it was early in the morning; still too early for even Mrs. Weasley to get up. Curiously he studied her as she headed towards the fireplace and grabbed some flew powder. "Leaky Cauldron!" She whispered and then disappeared in a whirl of green flames.
The scenery changed as she arrived in the pub, only Tom the bar tender was there; he called a soft greeting as she walked by. One that she didn't answer. What was wrong with her? She was usually so kind to everyone. When she got to the bricks, she pulled a black hood over her head and tapped the bricks.
"That's odd." Harry said aloud.
"Maybe she's worried about the press, you know with being your girl and all." Lily suggested.
"Maybe." Harry wasn't too sure.
Suddenly she stopped walking as she came to a certain shop. Harry read the sign; Slug & Jiggers Apothecary. Taking a breath she steered herself into the shop. The clerk came up to her and asked what she wanted. Quickly looking around she leaned over and whispered something into his ear. He seemed shocked but walked into the back room and brought out a little bottle with a blood red liquid in it. Ginny took it in shaking hands and paid for it, leaving the shop before the clerk tried to stop her. Harry had a bad feeling in his gut and by the looks on their faces so did the rest of the room. Instead of going back to the Leaky Cauldron as Harry thought she would she headed towards the center of Diagon Alley. When she arrived what Harry saw gave him a sudden lurch in his stomach. There right in the center of Diagon Alley was a golden statue of him. His mouth open, no doubt saying 'Avada Kedavra.' and his right arm extended bravely, holding his wand, probably pointed at a non existent Voldemort.
"How am I not surprised." Harry muttered. "Let's just portray the events like we want them to happen! We'll forget the part about The Chosen One laying on the ground in pain, staring up at Voldemort as they took each others life away!"
"Harry, they think they're honoring you and all that you did for them by making this statue." Dumbledore said calmly.
"I know but its still silly and stupid." Harry answered quietly.
Ginny seemed to be looking at the statue intently.
"He would have hated this." She laughed bitterly, speaking for the first time in weeks.
"She knows you well, too." James acknowledged. Harry just nodded, something was off about Ginny.
"Well get a good laugh about it soon, when I tell him." Her voice become stronger with use.
'Is she going mad?' Harry wondered.
She uncapped the little bottle and Harry figured her out at that moment.
"Ginny don't do this." He said frantically. His family giving him worried looks.
"I love you Harry." Then with that she raised the bottle to her lips and swiftly downed the contents.
One more chapter. HAHA IM EVIL!
