Ch 5
The last thought he had was of auburn long hair before complete black ness surrounded him. His head fell to the ground, his blond hair flopping out around it. His wand rolled out of hiss loosened grip as his hand went limp on the hard earth.
To her brother's relief ( all six of them) Ginny after being only slightly injured stayed in the hospital wing to help madam pompy. Her job was to run to the field and levitate or accio injured order members or students. She was constantly reminded though that never, no matter what, was she to accio Harry, that if there was a problem Dumbledor would portkey Harry out of there.
That was the hardest rule Ginny ever had to follow especially since Harry was like her seventh brother, Ron's twin. Each time she'd receive someone in her arms she would levitate them to the hospital wing after making sure that she healed what she could. Those who could be healed quickly were and then went back out o fight.
While those who were healed but not ready for war again ( mainly the young students) would help accio people with Ginny. Now that she had three other students, all fifth years, accio - ing people she normally stayed in and helped the tired medi witch. As she finished handing an older wizard a potion and explaining he could go back if he chose in around 10 minutes although she knew no one ever waited the required time to go back out there and fight along the side of those they loved.
She turned to see a blond wizard enter the hospital wing, being levitated in front of another floating victim. "Ginny go help the young man he is not as bad as Miss Lovegood here. The tense nurse yelled as she chased after the floating young witch.
Ginny knew the blond young man, but it shocked her that he was truly on her side, of course he had to be cause the spell they were using only called the injured from their side (true loyalties).
She looked over his barely breathing body checking and mending broken bones and torn muscles. As she finished mending the three broken ribs she heard her previously silent patient moan.
When he was unconscious like this he looked extremely different. His normally stern and hard face was relaxed and peaceful. For once she was able to see the little boy that hid under the mask of the grown man. The rest ness and beauty made her want to touch his delicate face. To this day she wasn't sure why she did it but she knew she had to. Silently, cautiously as if he'd wake up if she moved to loud or quick, she stretched her fingers out to his pale face. The hovered over his cheek bone before they delicately came in contact with the smooth skin. They gently floated to the flesh next to his eye, then gracefully made it to the platinum hair that always teased her. She felt sympathy for the young boy who was forced to grow up in his fathers shadow.
She jumped slightly ( although not removing her touch from him) when she felt him lean slightly into her hand. She leaned in closer to him as an almost silent sigh escaped his lips.
"Sorry mom…." his voice was weak and cracked
"Why?" she knew she shouldn't but she was craving to know why a man who never apologized was doing so now.
"I wanted to.. I tried to… kill Lucius…" after a long silent and tense moment he continued on " I failed you… fell for her… "
"Who?" she figured in for a sheckle in for a gallon right? At her voice his eyes snapped open, having the decency to blush Ginny whispered hi as she looked into his freshly bright blue-gray eyes. Again he surprised her allowing his lips to form a small yet noticeable smile.
Slowly they were moving closer to each other, slowly their lips touched, eyes closed both had a hand in the hair of the other, it was gentle and innocent. They didn't bring it past the chaste yet slow kiss they both were shocked that was taking place. When they broke apart they both looked with stunned expressions at their supposedly 'sworn enemy'
The moment was destroyed though when the stressed medi witch called deform her assistant "Ginerva" both teens jumped apart causing Ginny to almost fall into the wall that was behind her. "I need you now hurry!" With a quick glance Ginny ran off to where she was needed.

The battle outside raged on for hours, Until the field seemed almost empty of people, that was when the real war started when it would just be two people fight for the fate of the world as they knew it to be.
He mist from the field was getting thicker as the bright colors (mainly green) of the curses died down. Every one knew this was his destiny - his fight. That didn't stop people from trying to help though. Lupin - with tears in his eyes- held Ron back from running to his friend side. Even with his werewolf strength he was struggling against the tall redhead whose love for his friend was truly evident.
As the battle grew intense between the two sole fighters Tonks grabbed hold of Hermione holding her tight to her. Sobs whacked her body as she looked at the normally strong girl now crying and kicking in her arms trying to get to the one everyone know she loved.
The second after she hit the ground knowing there was no way to help there was an explosion. Green and red light radiated everywhere. As the smoke cleared there before them in the middle of the field lay two still bodies. One of a half man and one of a young boy with messy hair.
At seeing this the tall lanky red head broke free of the werewolf's loose arms and ran to the side of his bushy haired friend. Silently, as the world watched she crawled into his open arms. They cried together, for the loss of a friend, loss of innocence, and loss of love. They cried over memories they had and ones never to be made.

The great hall was decorated in white and gold. Along the sides were a few black banners that held the names of everyone who gave their life in the battle against the great wizard. Ginny looked up and spotted 'James and Lily Potter' right above 'Sirius Black'. Ginny scanned the banners looking for her 'adoptive brother's name. Then the whole hall grew quiet, curious Ginny turned around to see why.
There in front of huge oak doors stood two wounded souls. The tall red head stood as tall as could be expected, a distant looked graced his sad eyes that had circle under them. Although his circles did nothing to compare to the slumped witches next to him. Both of them looked as if they haven't used a hair brush since the war. While every one was dressed in their best these two were a mess. Her brothers clothes were wrinkled and still held dirt stains. Where Hermione was dressed in her torn jeans, and Harry's old quid ditch shirt.
Ginny was the only one who could get them to leave their pictures to eat, or get Hermione to leave Harry's bed. The last week has been hell, and Ginny was thankful again that classes were cancelled. Ginny started heading towards them when Hermione's tear streaked face looked up and broke into sobs again. Ginny turned to see why her friend broke into sobs, and what caused her brother's knees to go weak. There above the head table was a black banner with gold trimming.
Harry James Potter
Son. Student. Hero. Friend
Love.
May you find peace
Thank you
Ginny didn't notice her own tears as she watched her two dear friends slowly walk out of the silent great hall

In a small room off the side of the great hall slept a young man, unknown to the pain he caused around him. Above him sat a large phoenix singing softly all the while allowing tears to slip from the small eyes.
In a weakened whisper around the room you could hear the last words this man spoke when as he fell un conscience after the grand explosion
"Hermione"

Every night Ginny visited Luna in the hospital. Every night she'd take a glance or 5 at the blond across the room I just want to make sure I did a good job... Yeah that kiss did wonders, new type of medicine? She never tried to think how her heart jumped if he'd move, or how her stomach got fluttery just by her looking at him.
Ginny started bringing Ron to the hospital with her, talking to Luna seemed to help him and he actually started smiling (well the corners of his mouth lifted). Ginny walked into the common room - the night after Luna was released, now not having a reason to go stare at Malfoy - and saw her brother playing a chess game with Dean.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to call you Harry again.. Its just …" Ron was explaining in a broken voice.
"Its ok, no worry mate" Dean reassured him as he tried to let Ron win the game.
Ginny decided it was time to bring Hermione back to the land of the living. She found the witch curled up in Harry's bed staring at a picture of the two of them. She sat down.
"You're not the only one who misses him you know.." Ginny tried not to sound angry but maybe that's what Hermione really needed.
"Yo.." Hermione coughed getting her voice to work.. "I'm the only one who loved him, have you come to get me to replace him like you and Ron have?"
Now Ginny couldn't hide her emotion. "OF COURSE NOT! ME AND RON DIDN'T REPLACE HIM! Hermione… Ron in downstairs calling Dean, Harry, while losing the first chess game in his life. Ron isn't replacing Harry he is trying to live so that Harry's death wasn't a waste. And don't think I could ever replace Harry, that would be like replacing one of my brothers. I mourn him all the time - he used to tell me his dreams, his hopes of his future a future we didn't want together. He might of not had a chance to tell you but he did love you."
Hermione looked over at Ginny and everything of her and Harry's secret relationship came out. The two girls that Harry left behind started walking around the lake twice a day, their only rule was during that time Harry could not be mentioned. Its was a small start, and Hermione still only would wear Harry's shirts but it was a start.

She was so lovely.. It was worth it.. I hope mother's safe.. What do I mean it was worth it…. She doesn't care.. But then what about that kiss… . Draco slowly rolled over in bed "I have to talk to mom"

Albus shut his office door behind him, its been three weeks since the battle, Harry's friends were improving
( Hermione was again answering questions and if you were in the right place at the right time you'd hear Ron Weasley's laugh.) Albus turned to look at the occupants of his office, every one that was important to Harry. "I've asked you here to discuss something important.. I should say
someone… Harry"
The name seemed to take the oxygen out of the room. "Sir. No disrespect but can't you leave it alone, let us move on" Ginny spoke from between her parents. She could see every female was teary eyed along with Remus and Ron.
"Because Miss Weasley I can't let you fully move on." At this all mouths, including Mad Eye Moody's drooped open. "Now hear me out before you talk, Harry didn't die the night of the battle he has been in a hidden room unconscious for the last 3 weeks. I needed you, especially Hermione and Ron here, to believe and act as if he was dead. I am sorry the pain it caused you. But the death eaters would of looked for revenge. Now that 90 percent of them are gone I feel it safe to tell you that Harry's getting better. He will be waking up any day now."
You could of heard straw drop in that room as everyone took in what was told them.
"WHAT!" Hermione stood up only to fall back into Ron's arms from the shock. "Where is he I need to … I need … I need him.. Where"
"Miss Granger" Albus stern voice snapped her out of her fit. "You can't see him, but he will show up when he is healed be watchful.

Ginny's eyes dropped to the floor as she picked at invisible fuzz from her uniformed skirt. Inside her head was a storm of multitude proportion. This is horrible I want Draco to wake up just as I now want Harry to.. Shoot I called him Draco…. Shoot In the headmasters office.. With my whole family in the room…. Ginny took a quick look at the headmaster and as their eyes connected she knew he heard her call Malfoy, Draco. She didn't know how but those sparkling eyes knew.
She schooled her features not wanting any one in the room to ask what was bothering her, she wasn't the best of all liars at all times. She knew she had to figure this out before she hurt someone, that someone would probably end up being herself..
