Ginny turned off the hot water. She started to hum 'Heartbreaker' an old song that she had heard on the muggle radio several times before. She stepped out of the shower and started to wipe her hair down with a towel. 'It seems quiet' she thought getting dressed.
When she was finished, she walked down stairs realizing why it seemed so quiet.
"Hermione! Ron! Fred! Harry! George!" No answer. "Anyone!"
The door opened then closed.
"You hollered, sis?" It was Fred.
"Yeah where's Harry, Ron, and Hermione?"
"Either Hogwarts, the Dursley's, or Godric Hollow." said Fred.
"Why would he go there?"
"Don't ask me ask him." said Fred with a shrug.
"That's just what I'll do..."
"Hey wait a second where do you think you're going?"
"Number four, Privet Drive!" Ginny exclaimed dropping a small part of the floo powder in the chimney, she had just picked up.
She disappeared.
"Damn it, Ginny!" Fred muttered walking away to go get George. "George we gotta go get Ginny!"
Ginny came to a sudden stop. She had to put her hands out in front of her to stop her from falling.
She stood up and brushed herself off. She pulled a pouch out of her back pocket and put part of the floo powder she had in it. Then she looked around to see nobody in the room so she turned back to the chimney, stepped in it and said very clearly, "Godric Hollow!" and disappeared.
"Would you please join us?" said Professor MaGonagall with a small smile.
Harry nodded and stood up. He looked down to see he was covered in dirt. He looked at Hermione who, with a flick of her wand, made it disappear.
"Show off." Ron muttered in her ear. Hermione smiled and put the wand away.
"I repeat; will you please join us?"
"Uhh..." Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, who shrugged and walked over there.
"As I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted to be able to apparate you have to pass the test... and to pass the test you have to remember the three D's...
Ginny hit the floor with a thump and dust covered her and the air around her. Coughing she sat up and looked around. All the ruins of the house were all around and under her. She stood up and dusted herself off.
She was unaware that there was someone else there. However, not the 'someone' she wanted to see. However, that figure stayed silent and watched from the shadows.
Muttering she said, "Damn dust and it looks like he isn't even here... He must have gone to Hogwarts first... Oh well I... guess... I could... wait here...
The figure chuckled and said, "Hello... I was really hoping for Potter but I guess his girlfriend will do..."
Ginny jumped nearly ten feet and whirled around. "WHO THE HELL ARE..." silence... "YOU!!!"
HOGWARTS: An hour later
"Well, Potter, you passed. I figured you would. Congratulations." MaGonagall said with a small rare smile.
"Thanks, professor. Sorry, but now I have to go." Harry looked around to see Hermione and Ron were not anywhere in sight. "And please send my regards and apologies to Ron and Hermione for leaving them but I must do this on my own."
"Do what, Potter?"
"Huh? Oh nothing. Really! Just tell them what I said."
"Potter, please don't do what I think you're going to do. You know Professor Dumbledore wouldn't want you to do that! And he would have died in vain if he new that's what you were going to do!"
"Please Professor just leave me alone!" said Harry with frustration in his voice. Before MaGonagall had time to react, Harry turned and ran from the room.
As soon as he was outside, he ran to the gate. When he got outside the gate, he collapsed. Crying he knew he was being a big baby but he didn't know what else to do. 'He knew' Dumbledore wouldn't want him to do it, but, if 'He' didn't then who would? He knew this was the only way. He had to do this on his own. He just had to!
He cried for about ten minutes before he heard quick footsteps coming his way. He turned to see Ron and Hermione running toward him. He stood up and brushed the tears off his cheek.
"Harry, MaGonagall just told us but why would you say something like that? You know how bull headed Ron and I are we would have just followed anyways." said Hermione totally out of breath.
"Yeah mate! We're with you all the way!" agreed Ron. Then realizing what Hermione had said. "And who are you calling bullheaded!? Because I'm not!"
"Sorry guys but I really have to do this on my own." said Harry shaking his head. "You just wouldn't understand."
"We understand plenty enough, mate. Plenty enough we're not going to let you do this on your own. You could die!" said Ron with a hint of stubbornness.
"So could you guys!" yelled Harry turning away from his friends. "I've already lost too many people I love to Voldemort! I can't stand to lose any more! So just, go home where you're safe from this damn place. . . And tell Ginny, tell everyone I said goodbye." and with a sharp turn Harry disappeared.
"Are we going to do what he said or follow him?" asked Ron looking at Hermione.
Hermione scoffed and looked at Ron and rolled her eyes, "What do you think!?"
Ron smiled. ''Godric Hollows here we come!''
Harry looked at what remains there were of the house that use to be his. "I'm surprised they haven't cleared this area and built a new house?" he wondered aloud.
"Well take a last look, Potter, cause this is probably the last time you're going to see it." said a very cold familiar drawl Harry new all to well.
