Chapter 10 – Surviving The War

Ginerva paced on the floor of her office in Prince Manor. Severus had departed for Riddle Manor earlier for a meeting of the inner circle. Ginny could have been pondering any number of things: the war, the structure of her new ministries, and what was going on at that meeting even though she would get a full detailed report later from the inner circle as well as a private one from her loving husband. Instead she paced back and forth with only one thing on her mind – A little stick that Gregory Goyle was holding.

"Honestly Gin, couldn't you have had one of your girlfriends do this with you?" Greg said trying to make light of the situation.

Ginny looked at Greg with a half smile and replied "Greg, you have been my best girlfriend since the Yull Ball. Don't you remember?"

"You are evil, abolutely evil. How you survived poor Longbottom that night I will never know."

"Ha! He was fine. If it wasn't for your spellwork I would have had to have my feet amputated. Honestly if I am lucky enough to have a daughter you are going to have to teach those charms to her by the time she is old enough to start Hogwarts. Those dances are murder on one's feet!" Ginny laughed. Greg had sufficently distracted Ginny when the timer went off and her mood returned to nervousness.

"What does it say?" Ginny asked as she bounced on the balls of her feet while managing to look like a deer caught in headlights at the same time.

"There is a line. What does that mean again?" Greg asked as he glanced up at a shell shocked Ginny.

Severus returned home from a long and tedious meeting of the inner circle. The Death Eaters were gaining ground all over Europe and it wouldn't be long until the entire contienent was firmly under their control. If Severus was any other death eater he would be elated instead he was unnerved. All he wanted was for the war to be over. Ginerva and Severus could start their lives over. Severus knew they could never have a simple life. No matter who won the final battle for it was Ginny who had to remake the world in her vision or the entire wizarding world would enter a period of the Dark Ages. No, Severus could never lead a simple life with Ginny, but at least he could live his life with her.

Severus walked into Ginerva's study to find her pacing. She never paced. She was cool, calm, and collected until she was unleashing the seven fires of hell on a person.

"Good afternoon Ginny." Severus said softly as he tentively walked towards her.

Ginny stopped in place and sat down on the floor. Now Severus was alarmed. "Gin?" Severus asked.

Ginny looked up at Severus with tears in her eyes. "I…"

"You're sitting on the floor." Severus said with a smirk.

Ginny gave a nervous laugh. "Yes, I'm sitting on the floor. Not the most conventional or comfortable seating arrangement, but it suits my purpose." Ginny replied with a half smile.

"Well we have some lovely chairs for you to sit in should you feel inclined." Severus replied.

"Yes… a chair would be nice." Ginny said.

Severus helped Ginny off the floor and sat her in the nearest chair. "Now, what matter had you wearing or hardwood into splinters?"

"Well, this is going to come as a shock. You might want to sit down too." Ginny said with a half smile.

Severus sat in the chair next to Ginny and took her hand. "What is it Gin?"

"I… I'm pregnant."

Hours later Ginny and Severus moved from their spot in Ginny's study. Severus reactions varied from shock to joy to confusion to worry. It was a dangerous time to have a child especially for a woman who played such a dangerous game.

The only reason they moved from the study was because their marks started to burn. Ginny cursed those marks for ruining the moment. This should have been one of the happiest moments of their lives, but he had to ruin it.

Ginny and Severus apparated to the Pantheon. The battle was in full effect and that was when they knew what was upon them. They stood in the mists of the Final Battle.

Ginny was lead into the Pantheon by Severus where they were greeted with the sight of the last battle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort.

Ginny stood on a dais. The final battle all around her. She wore a green silk gown with a diamond tiara on her head.

As Severus was lost in the crowd of Death Eaters and the Resistance in mid-battle, Ginny saw Harry deliver the final blow the Lord Voldermort with the use of a broadsword. Death Eaters were gathering around the sight as Harry and Ginny locked eyes.

She looked at Harry and said "This way Harry. It won't be long now."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Ginny throught the maze of people in the pantheon. Harry spoke in a hushed voice "What are you doing here Ginny?"

"You are not the only one who this war concerns Harry. I am here for justice." Ginny replied.

Snape appeared around a corner. "Gin, over here. Quick!" Snape said.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione raised their wands. "Snape!" Harry snarled.

Suddenly, the trio was thrown into the war. Ginny appeared infront of them. Her eyes were white as was the aura around her. "All is not as it appears Harry. Why are you here justice or venegence? Choose now for it will decide the outcome of the war."

Harry charged at Severus with his broadsword at hand. Before Serverus could react he was run through.

Ginny ran to the scene and pulled Harry from Severus. "No, NO!" Ginny screamed.

Percy heard Ginny's scream and ran towards her killing any in his path. "Gin," Percy breathed in disbelief as he took in the sight before him.

Severus was craddled in Ginny's arms as he drew his last breaths. "I love you Ginerva." He put a hand on Ginny's stomach. "Both of you." He breathed then he was gone.

"Who did this?" Percy screamed in rage at the Golden Trio.

"I did." Harry replied, proud of his dishonorable deed.

"You bastard. You in your unjust hatred leave me a widow and my unborn child without a father." Ginny said as the trio gasped. Her eyes and hair became the color of midnight. She elevated two feet above the floor.

Gashes appeared on Harry's skin as Ginny's rage began to tear him limb from limb. Greg and Draco saw the sight before them and raced to Ginny before it was too late, before she became a murderer.

Greg reached Ginny first. He pulled her down and held her in his arms.

"Let me go. He killed him. He killed my husband! He killed Severus!"

"I know, Gin, but killing his not going to bring Severus back. It will not make you feel better. You have never killed a person Ginny. Once you go over that cliff there is no going back for you soul. You need to stay intact for your baby, for me, for Draco. We love you! We need you!" Greg said while craddling Ginny in his arms.

Ginny burst into tears as the other looked on. Percy stood tall. "Fortunately I don't have that problem." With a flick of his wand and all the hatred that Percy build up through the years at Harry for stealing his parents' love as their favorite son Harry fell to the ground. Harry Potter was dead.

The battle ended and the dead was accounted for. The resistance died as only a handful of their members were sit alive while the Death Eaters were strong by the thousands.

Hermione looked at Ginny with tears in her eyes. "What do we do now?"

"We assimulate the resistance into the new world." The blood smatter Ginny responded in a cold detached voice.

THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER!
