Chapter 2 - You Save Me
A/N-Ok I know this is really fast to put up another chapter but I had it ready so here it is.
Disclamer- I don't own anything Harry Potter or the song You Save Me by Kenny Chesney.
Read and review please!
Harry left ,when Remus arrived with Voldemort's location, the next day.
Ginny had never left his side before he followed Remus and the other members of the Order. Before he left, Ginny asked Harry to come into the garden with her. He followed the red-head and sat down beside her on the stone bench under a orchid tree.
They sat there in silence for a few minutes until Ginny spoke up, "Harry," she began, " I really don't want you to go but I know you have no choice but to go. So I want you to promise me something."
"Anything Gin..." Harry stroked her hand softly with his thumb.
"Harry promise you'll come back to me, promise that you'll always love me, and promise me that you will make this battle quick, because I don't think I could stand to be without you even for a day." she began to sob as these words escaped from her lips.
"Ginny Weasley. Look at me." Harry put his forefinger under her chin and turned her head towards his," I will come back to you. I'll never leave you even if I get killed you'll never be without me. I love you so much, Gin. I promise. I will come back to you I'll always love you, and I'll make this battle quick. This I promise you Ginny Weasley."
Ginny looked up into his sparkling green eyes and smiled. If Harry promised it, he wouldn't break his promise, but there was one thing she didn't like about what he said. "Harry, you won't be killed, you can't be, I would never be able to live with myself if you did."
She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. They broke away and he smiled at her,"I promise Gin. I promise." With that he stood and he was gone.
The battle was raging and been for 3 straight days. Harry had been pushed back by the rest of the Order because he needed to save his strength for Voldemort. Harry was restless watching the rest fight with all their might. They were winning yes but many were hurt badly. None of the Order had been killed thankfully but they were wearing down. Finally on the 4th day, Harry got his chance to fight.
Voldemort called for his army to stop fighting and back way."I am going to finish the boy..." he hissed.
Harry came to the front of the Order and told them all to stop fighting and back away just as Voldemort had done but he also tolds them to be on their guard just in case something was to go wrong.
"Well Harry, " Voldemort taunted, "we meet again." He pulled his wand out of his cloak. Harry followed suit.
"Yes it seems so..." Harry growled. This was it , it had to end here.
"Well Harry let's see what to do with this attitude of yours." Voldemort chanted.
Harry just stood and smiled the most evil smile he could muster. Voldemort took a step towards Harry. Harry just raised his wand.
Voldemort advanced and the battle began. Both wizards were throwing curses with all their might. Voldemort began to weaken. He hadn't slept in days trying to control his army. Harry was fresh and full of energy so he wasn't weakening near as fast.
Just as Harry thought it was about to be over Voldemort threw a curse and hit Harry square in the chest. Harry flew backwards and into a tree. His body went limp as he hit the ground. Thoughts of his life ran through his head. His first day of Hogwarts, the first time he rode a broom, saving Sirius, the triwizard tournament, the department of mysteries, kissing Ginny...Ginny...
He had promised her. He was going to hold her again. He had promised.
He found energy inside him that seemed to come from nowhere. He got up and raised his wand pointing it directly at Voldemort. Voldemort was about to send another curse when Harry shot a curse at him that was so strong it seemed to blow Voldemort 100 feet away and into a wall. He fell to the ground with Harry steadily advancing. Voldemort struggled to get up but failed.
Harry was standingover him pointinghis wand down on him and began to speak in a rough voice, "You killed my parents, Sirius and Dumbuldore...you have no heart at all you don't know love and now love is the reason for your end. Her love filled me and saved me when I was bleedinf and down. You never knew love and I pitty you because of it but that won't keep me from killing you.
With that Harry drew back amd threw one last curse at Voldemort. Voldemort's body went limp and Harry retreated back to the Order, who were throwing curses at Voldemort's army who were being stunned and locked up in cages to be taken to Azkaban.
Remus came to Harry and shook his hand. Harry smiled weakly at him and told him he was going to the Burrow if that was ok.
"Sure Harry," Remus replied,"You've done more than enough go tell them the good news." Harry smiled and shook his hand once more and left.
Harry approached the front door and opened it. It was early morning and noone was awake yet. He crept up the stairs and snuck into Ginny's room. He knelt beside her bed and rubbed her arm gently. She mumbled something that Harry couldn't quite make out and rolled over now facing him. He rubbed her arm again and she stirred a little, but didn't wake. Harry smiled slightly and rubbed her arm again.
This time her eyes fluttered open but shut almost instantly. "Harry go away it's too ear---" Her eyes bolted opened and shejerked up and awake. "Harry!" she flung her arms around his neck. "Your back! I knew you'd come back!"
Harry just smiled and stroked her hair. "Ginny...I would not leave you I promised I'd come back and I wasn't about to break it. Gin you saved me, I was about to give up and you saved me."
Ginny pulled away from him and looked him dead in the eyes."You mean that wasn't a dream? I dreamt that I was hovering over you and you were face down on the ground...Voldemort had just hit you with a curse and you flew against a tree. I knelt beside you and kissed your head and told you everything was gonna be alright. I got up and then you did too. You got up and told Voldemort something I couldn't quite make out, then everything went fuzzy and my dream changed."
"Ginny Weasley you saved me from death, from Voldemort, and from myself because my life fflashing before my eyes and everything was going fuzzy. Thank you Ginny. I love you."
"Oh Harry! I love you too!" Ginny breathed and hugged him again.
This was it... the life Harry had wanted his entire life and now he was going to have it and noone was gonna stop him.
Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that moves me like nobody else
And I thank God you do
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love
When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me
When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
