She did not even make out the words that Voledemort was saying, but she did get the part that said 'Your hero is dead.' Harry she thought, the mass crowd of people still alive rushed out to the school grounds. She knew it was bad when she heard a loud scream coming from McGonagall, the same teacher that was though and fought to the nail for everything was screaming. Tears flowing down her wrinkly skin as she looked down. Ginny followed her gaze, and she saw him, lying in Hagrids arms, lifeless.

She screamed because that is all her body could manage. Her scream was louder than McGonagall's. Voledemort was standing before him, with a large grin on his face. Hermione screamed "NO!" louder than Ginny thought possible.

Ron stood there in between Ron and Hermione, about eight feet from Harry. At first it seemed that her brother was speechless, then he muttered in a low voice that only me and Hermione could hear. "No…my best mate…no." Then he became furious and screamed loud "HARRY! HARRY!"

This was it, when she fully realized that she loved Harry. It was no longer a crush, it was an I don't think I can make it without you being here thing. Ginny loved Harry. As he lies there all flooded to her in a rush of emotion, she laid her head on Ron's shoulder and sobbed. Harry was a hero and always will be, he did not deserve to die. She will get revenge, she will fight till she is dead herself. She won't give up, Harry died fighting, because of Tom Riddle, and he will never again get to experience life. Ginny could forget ever seeing his wonderful eyes again or hear his voice.

Ginny looked at him, he looked so innocent lying there. People were yelling and screaming, their hero has just died, their friend, their student, their almost-child. "SCILENCE! It is over, set him down Hagrid, at my feet where he belongs," Voledemort screeched. Harry was set down on the grass carefully. Ginny could have sworn she saw his eye twitch slightly, but she had to be imagining things. "You see? Harry Potter is dead. Do you understand dueled ones? He was nothing, ever, but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him!"

Anger flared inside Ginny, that was the last thing Harry was, he was no coward. "He beat you!" Ron yelled suddenly, his voice fierce and angry.

Voledemort yelled something about how Harry was only trying to save himself, which obviously was a lie seeing as how he was lying there dead. Suddenly Neville ran right past Ginny and charged at Voledemort, Neville was disarmed and thrown onto the ground.

"Who is this?" Voledemort sneered. Ginny's insides were flaming, no Neville, not Neville. Not another friend, no, no, no.

Ginny became so overwhelmed she hugged her brother tighter as she started a new batch of tears, she closed her eyes. Just like when she was small and her mum told her when things get bad, just close your eyes. She shut them tight; she felt like a four year old again, she did not want to be here. Close your eyes, and everything will be okay she thought, she felt Ron's hand on her back comforting her. She heard what was going on between Neville and Voledemort, but tried to drown it out with happy thoughts: her first day at Hogwarts, laughing with Fred, kissing Harry on his birthday, all those time with him in her fifth year, talking to Hermione, helping her mom in the kitchen while they blasted music, playing quidditch, Dumbledore's Army. She tried so hard, but the tears fell harder.

She heard Voledemort saying "…we could use your kind Longbottom." She opened her eyes.

"When all hell freezes over," Neville responded without hesitation. "Dumbledore's Army!"

Then time seemed to fast forward, Voledemort said "very well." And the hat on Neville's head burst into flames. No, no, no, Ginny looked at Ron desperately who stood there screaming all the words in the book. Hermione was standing there screaming "NEVILLE!"

Gwap came from the forest screaming for Hagrid, the spell broke upon Neville, and he suddenly had a sword, the sword of Gryffindor, swiftly he slashed off Voledemort's snakes head. People went haywire, screaming, running, yelling. Hagrid was screaming "HARRY? WHERE'S HARRY?" Ginny looked back to where he lye, and he was not there, had Voledemort taken his body? Ginny panicked, centaurs came from the forest and made the death eaters separate. People were retreating back to the castle. Ginny's father grabbed her hand and pulled her along running for their lives. Ron and Hermione just before them running.

The Great Hall was a wreak, house elves came up to fight, hurting death eaters. Yaxley was dueling with George and Lee Jordan already. Ginny looked around frantically, Bellatrix approached her quickly. In a matter of seconds, Hermione and Luna were by her side. Ginny sending curse after curse and it still was not enough. All three of them giving all they have got. "Avada Kadavera!" screamed Bellatrix. The curse flew by Ginny's shoulder by less than an inch.

"NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" Ginny's mother stomped towards Bellatrix, she was furious, beyond anytime she had ever seen. Her face full of rage and need for revenge. "OUT OF MY WAY!" she yelled at Ginny, Hermione, and Luna. Slowly they backed away and Ginny stood there, watching her mother battle, it was one of the hardest things she would ever have to endure. Her mother so close to death, this was Bellatrix one of Voledemort's most prized death eaters.

"What will happen to your children after I have killed you? The same way as Freddie?" Bellatrix said with joy as the two battled.

"You! Will never, touch- our – children again!" Molly screamed back. In a matter of seconds, a curse hit Bellatrix square in the heart, just as her laugh filled the room it died just as quickly.

Ginny was filled with a strange sense of hope, till she saw McGonagall being thrown backward by Voledemort and he turned to face Ginny's mother, ready to kill. "Protego!" said a firmiliar voice, the voice that belonged to Harry. The shield charm protected Molly and Voledemort looked confused. Ginny looked at the source of the charm and Harry took off his invisibility cloak.

People erupted with hope. "HARRY!" screamed Hermione and Ginny at the same time. Many other screamed "HE IS ALIVE!"

Emotions flooded into Ginny love, hate, hope, passion, happiness. It was all bottled inside her as if she knew deep down that he was alive all along. She looked at him in awe, and was un-aware of the tears streaming down her face. He was here standing twenty feet away, it took all the will power in her body from walking up to him and just hugging him. She looked at Ron across the way who's face, his jaw wide open and a single tear flowing down his face. Hermione was bawling as she could not believe it was true.

Harry's voice echoed in the Great Hall. "I don't want anyone else to help. It's got be like this. It has got to be me."

"Potter does not mean that," Voledemort sneered. "Who are you going to use as a shield today?"

"Nobody, there are no more Horcruxes. It's just you and me. Neither can live while the other survives. And one of us is about to leave for good," Harry said bravely his voice loud and manly.

"One of us? You think it will be you do you? The boy who survived by accident and because Dumbledore is pulling strings?" Voledemort said as if he were…intimidated.

Their conversation wore on and Voledemort soon became Tom Riddle and Harry was not afraid to use his real name.

"Haven't you noticed how these spells are not binding? You can't torture them," Harry said furiously. "You can't touch them. You don't learn from your mistakes do you Riddle?" Harry said his face fierce with determination and hatred.

"You dare?" Riddle said.

"Yes I dare," Harry responded bravely.

Ginny was shanking, her mother came from behind her and held her hand, comforting each other as they watched Harry and Riddle. With every sentence Harry seemed to gain points, as if this was a game of Quidditch, Riddle just looked stupider and stupider. In all reality, he never knew the truth. He never knew the secrets of the Elder Wand, or Severus Snape, or even Dumbledore. Everyone in the crowd hung onto their last words, because this was it, the ending of evil or this was just the beginning.

"So it comes down to this doesn't it?" Harry whispered that was all Ginny could manage to make out. Then suddenly there was a screaming of "AVADA KEDAVRA!" and "EXPELLIARMUS!"

The Great Hall erupted and you could see where the spells collided. Harry was at the end and smoothly caught the Elder Wand. Tom Riddle hit the floor, it was quiet, then cheers erupted and everyone was running to Harry. Hermione and Ron were first to reach Harry then Ginny came up and hugged him tightly, one by one people were all wanting to get to Harry. They wanted to touch the Boy Who Lived.

Ginny had never been so happy and sad in her life. So many died, so many fought, Hogwarts was in shambles, but Harry Potter was alive. The boy she loved was here. But Fred, Remus, Tonks, Collin, and so many others were gone. Through all the cheers, you could see people's tear stained faces.
