Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and George all now stood hidden just outside Voldemort's hide out each with a fang and horcrux in hand. Voldemort had several death eaters with him. No one the group recognized though this could be because they are in 1969 and most of the followers of their time we quite young at the moment. They decided that would have to engage in a fight. They needed to kill as many of them as they could. The plan was to destroy all the horcurxes at once and while Voldemort was distracted by this they would run in and kill as many people as they possible could Voldemort as the main target of course. Harry heart was pounding as if it was the battle at Hogwarts all over again.
"Okay, on the count of 3. 1….2….3…." Harry queued the group. As the parts of Voldemort's soul that were in the Horcurxes died he could be heard in pain on the inside of the building. Harry grabbed his wand and led the charge in. Harry took aim at Voldemort first. Watching Voldemort's dead body fall to the floor was the last thing Harry could remember about the entire encounter. As soon as Voldemort was attacked death eaters began firing left and right. They wanted revenge. As smoke filled the room thing became more challenge. You needed to be pretty close to someone in order to make sure that it wasn't someone on your side.
Then the firing stopped. Harry watched the smoke go down around him. He slowly saw Hermione, George, and Ginny. Ron? Where was Ron? "Ron!" Harry shouted. "Over here" Ron's voice was weak. It took the last of the smoke the clear before the group was able to see him. "Everyone else okay?" Harry asked running towards Ron. The others didn't verbally reply but Harry took them running towards Ron that they were okay. Ron was bleeding fairly badly. He was hurting really bad all over and couldn't tell if anything was actually broken or not.
Harry and Ginny did their best to stop the bleeding while Hermione went and retrieved her bag. Using the supplies she had in her bag Hermione was able to fix Ron up pretty good but he still was going to need a healer. Hermione took him to St. Mungos. The other three waited in fear. Fear # 1- Ron's injuries were worst then thought. Fear # 2- Ron and Hermione would be recognized as two of the people that ran away with Harry after he "robbed" Gringotts. Fear # 3- Any Death Eater's that were alive would find out about Voldemort's death and riot or something. Fear # 4- There was a Death Eater (or worst more than one) that was in the house with Voldemort and had managed to get out would attack them (or Ron and Hermione).
They had set the house on fire to destroy all evidence of murder. Harry hated that word. He hadn't enjoyed taking lives but considering who they were it didn't bother him as much. It was done and the future was forever changed. Harry just hope it was for the better. Harry hoped that what happened to Ron was the worst of it. Things seemed better after Ron and Hermione got back and Ron was completely healed. They had managed to get in and out without being recognized selling the story that Ron's injuries came from a nasty fall.
Harry spent much of the rest of the day staring out into space. Things had happened rather quickly. He still couldn't believe how easy it had been to retrieve the horcurxes and kill Voldemort. Everything seemed to have been on their side from Gringotts' security being weak, to the entering the chamber of secrets at the right time, to Voldemort having more than one Horcrux in the same place, to all the rest of them being in the same place that they were the first time they found them. Thing just seemed like such a dream now. Harry hoped that when he returned back to his time things would still be just as good. How exactly where they getting back to their time? When were they getting back to their time? Harry shook those thoughts off. The group had decided to take the rest of the night off and try to relax.
Since Hermione was down for the idea Harry decided to think that Hermione did indeed think things out the rest of the way. She might not have but for the sake of trying to relax that was what Harry was going with. Of Ginny massaging him was helping a great deal as well. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the neck. He grabbed her hands and guided her around and onto his lap. They sat holding hands and staring at each other's eye for some time. Hermione and Ron had fallen asleep cuddling with each other inside the tent. George was lying on his back throwing a ball up and catching it when it came down.
"Want to sneak off to our favorite spot?" Ginny asked Harry. "We have a favorite spot?" Harry jokingly questioned. "We'll I know it's my favorite spot" Ginny winked at him. They kissed on the lips and headed towards said spot. That night was the second time Harry lost himself in his love to Ginny. It was just as amazing as the first time. Harry's love for Ginny was growing stronger by the minute and he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her. He wished they could just spend their life right there in that moment.
But that sadly was not a possibility. Harry and Ginny quietly snuck in the tent around three in the morning. They put their night clothes on (mostly to avoid suspicions from the others) and fell asleep holding each other in their arms. Harry awoke with Ginny's arm still around his at 10 the next morning. The others were out looking around making sure things were okay and went they returned they happily reported that any remaining death eaters seem to being in hiding. Then conversation turned to the next thing.
The plan was to turn the time turner another way and hope that it moved them forward in time. The goal was to get to 1991 to make sure (A) The trio became friends and (B) Make sure there were no major changes to their first year. They did not want to end up back to their time just. They had no idea that when they did if they would even remember any of this. The group packed up very slowly not sure of what to expect. Harry was glad that this had not already happened the second Voldemort died. It seemed like whenever one fear when away another took it place.
Harry looked over at Ginny and whispered "Please let things be the same between us". He repeated the same process with the other- even George. Once everything was finally together and the group was as mentally prepared as they could be they stood with the time turner again. Hermione turned and Harry and his friend were once again whisked away in the wind of uncertainly.
