Harry Potter and the other accidental Horcrux.
Chapter 1. Failure of the Final Battle.
I don't own the Harry Potter verse. Just playing.
Summary: Harry finally lands the blow that destroys Voldemort during their final battle but Tom is still not completely mortal. His wraith rises from the ashes of his body surprised as much as Harry as he knew Nagini was the last Horcrux to anchor his soul to this world. But there was another unknown Horcrux made by accident. One that they should have known about!
Ronald has another bad experience due to the effect Voldemort has on his fears and jealousies.
HHr NLLL

…."So it all comes down to this, doesn't it?" whispered Harry. "Does the wand in your hand know its last master was Disarmed? Because if it does . . . I am the true master of the Elder Wand."
A red-glow burst suddenly across the enchanted sky above them as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. The light hit both of their faces at the same time, so that Voldemort's was suddenly a flaming blur. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he too yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco's wand:
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Expelliarmus!"
The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided. Harry saw Voldemort's green jet meet his own spell, saw the Elder Wand fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling like the head of Nagini, spinning through the air toward the master it would not kill, who had come to take full possession of it at last. And Harry, with the unerring skill of the Seeker, caught the wand in his free hand as Voldemort fell backward, arms splayed, the slit pupils of the scarlet eyes rolling upward. Tom Riddle hit the floor with a mundane finality, his body feeble and shrunken, the white hands empty, the snakelike face vacant and unknowing. Voldemort was dead, killed by his own rebounding curse, and Harry stood with two wands in his hand, staring down at his enemy's shell.
One shivering second of silence, the shock of the moment suspended: and then the tumult broke around Harry as the screams and the cheers and the roars of the watchers rent the air. The fierce new sun dazzled the windows as they thundered toward him, and the first to reach him were Ron and Hermione, and it was their arms that were wrapped around him, their incomprehensible shouts that deafened him. ... DH
Then came the screaming.
Ronald saw it first, screamed and fainted.
Harry and Hermione turned to look at his enemy's shell lying on the cold stone floor of the Great Hall.
Slowly a black mist rose out of the corpse and took the shape of Voldemort. It stared back at Harry with a look of surprise. As it knew all the Horcruxes had been destroyed. He had checked them all himself and they were gone except for Nagini and the Longbottom boy had killed her. Then there was the shock that Potter was a Horcrux. It was in that cursed scar and he had unwittingly destroyed that accidental Horcrux himself and he felt the pain of that one.
But he was still here just like in the final Chamber of the Stone Quest as he left the dying Quirrell, just as Dumbledore entered the chamber late as usual. He came to the realization that there must be another accidental Horcrux. But what or who he did not know.
Until he saw her.
Standing there with her eyes glowing red right beside her terrified mother.
- The other accidental Horcrux. -
Then with a wild crazy evil laugh Wraithmort moved to possess the unconscious body of Ronald Bilius Weasley.
Ronaldmort open his red eyes and rose up from the floor with a crazy grin feeling so powerful as Wraithmort scanned his memories. He knew he should fight the possession just like Harry did at the Ministry but he had never felt so much power with so much knowledge of so many curses, and his jealousy and greed overwhelmed the little voice in his head that asked 'What would Harry do?'
Then he saw Harry with his arms around Hermione and everything went Prewett rage red.
"She's mine. AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Harry and Hermione stared blankly as the green curse came towards them. It was just like in the tent again. Anything to do with Voldemort brought out the worse of Ronald Bilius Weasley's fears, greed and jealousies.
But the Elder Wand moved by itself in Harry's hand, just like his old Holly and phoenix feather wand, and pointed at Ronaldmort. Harry didn't know what the spell was that the wand had cast to protect its true master but he felt magic leave his body. Then he felt the hook behind his navel of a Portkey and instantaneously Harry and Hermione moved across the floor as Ronald and the green killing curse disappeared from before them.
- The other accidental Horcrux. -
Ronaldmort watched with glee as the green killing curse raced towards the two pains of his existence. 'Two with one killing curse. Beat that Bella.' He thought. Then he felt the hook behind his navel of a Portkey and he moved across the floor as Harry and Hermione disappeared from his view and everything went green then black with so much pain.
- The other accidental Horcrux. -
Neville with Luna in his arms watched in horror as Ronaldmort threw the killing curse at Harry and Hermione. Then Harry raised his wand and Harry and Hermione change places with Ronaldmort.
- The other accidental Horcrux. -
Ronaldmort didn't see irony of his own green killing curse hit himself in the back. He fell forward with a thud and didn't move again.
There was silence as Ginny and Molly screamed as they rushed to Ronald's side.
Slowly the black mist rose out of the corpse and took the shape of Voldemort as Ginny and Molly reached Ronald. Wraithmort didn't hesitate and entered Ginny's body. He quickly scanned her memories and the anger of seeing the corpse of the Basilisk caused him to move her to throw her mother away like a rag doll. She landed with a sickening thud.
Ginnymort stood up and turned to Harry as her expression changed to an evil grin. "I'm back again Potter! That red dunderhead was his own worst enemy, how did you ever defeat me with that idiot as a friend?"
Harry just stared back into the red eyes of Ginnymort and hugged Hermione tighter to his side.
"Oh of course it was the Mudblood. Always the Mudblood. She must be the power I knew not." Ginnymort chuckled. "She has been a wild card to ruin everyone's plans. Mine for world domination, the bigots Pure-blood agenda, Dumbledore's Greater Good and the blood traitors' one big happy Weasley family!"
Harry and Hermione just looked back shocked as they realized the truth of what Ginnymort said.
"You know Ginevra is still in love with the Boy-Who-Lived, don't you?"
"Yes, she said that she knew I wouldn't be happy unless I was hunting you. Maybe that's why she likes me so much."
"Yes, likes not love. What would she do to be Mrs. Harry Potter?"
A memory that Hermione had shared with Harry about how Molly got her Arthur's attention with love potions popped into Harry's mind.
"So do you want to see if you can survive another killing curse!"
"No thank you all the same. They are not as painless as they claim!"
"We would know wouldn't we?"
"Well that was your fault you know."
"I'm a dark lord. It is what we dark lords do. So what do you say? Two for the price of one?"
"We'll pass."
"Too bad! AVADA KEDAVRA!"
"Expelliarmus!" Harry cried pointing the Elder wand at Ginnymort.
The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead center between them, marked the point where the spells collided. Harry saw Ginnymort's green jet meet his own spell, saw Ginny's wand fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling like the golden snitch, spinning through the air toward the hand of the master seeker, as Ginnymort fell backward, arms splayed, the evil red pupils of the possessed eyes rolling upward. Ginevra Molly Weasley hit the floor with a mundane finality, her body young and full of promise, the white hands empty, the evil grin on her face vacant and unknowing. Ginnymort was dead, killed by her own rebounding curse, and Harry stood with three wands in his hands, sadly staring down at his former friend empty shell.
There were no cheers as everyone watched in stunned silence.
Slowly a black mist rose out of the corpse and took the shape of Voldemort. It stared back at Harry with a look of surprise as it felt that sinking feeling.
"OOPS!"

Thank you for reading.

AN: This idea would not go away and makes sense for some lasting effect of Ginny's possession during the Chamber of Secrets and it was left untreated. It was not as if the Weasleys didn't have the money to take her to a mind healer at St Mungo's as they won 700 galleons in the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw. But decided to visit Bill in Egypt instead.
Then again having Ginny visit a mind healer would have raised a lot of questions that Dumbledore would not want to answer.
With a change of ending this could be an alternate starting point to a time travel redo depending on who died.
