Chapter Eleven

I'm on the front line

Don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning.

I say good bye to my weakness

So long to the regret

And now I see the world

Through diamond eyes.

-Shinedown

Here the battle was beginning and I was sitting in the room of requirement. It was too dangerous for me to be out there. It was not just me in here though. I sat with Dennis, Jacque, Aria, Paige and Astoria. All of us eager to fight, but were told that we were too young. Colin and Chelsea did send us an apologetic look as they ran off to join in battle.

I did kick stuff for a while. I grew restless. The idea that my entire family, all my friends, everyone who mattered so much to me were out there. Fighting for a cause that I believed in just as much as them. So what if for another three months I would be underage. I will be just as ready now as I would be in three months.

After what I had endured in my life. My possession and this passed year, everything I had done and all the training we worked on. The torturing. However, none of it was good enough to let me fight when I have more reason to fight then half the people out there.

To make it worse, more and more people were coming threw the portrait, heading out the door to battle. It was like mocking the fact that I could not leave. I was not surprised when I seen Tonks come threw the portrait after Lupin said she would be home with Teddy.

"Ginny!" She said, hugging me. She had the same fight in her that I had. It did not matter what kind of pain we went through beforehand, torturing or childbirth, we still wanted to fight for this. She did not stay long, rushing off to the battle.

I collapsed on the couch, the quiet finally getting to me. The door swung open and I jumped up quickly noticing Harry was the one standing at the door. He told us he needed the room and that we would need to get out. I did not need to be told twice. I booked out the door and away from the room; although I am pretty sure Harry said I would have to go back in.

That was if he could find me. I ran down stair after stair, avoiding ones that were moving. I got down to the second floor and ran up to the window so I could see what was going on. There was a fierce battle going on, lights flashing by and loud explosions. The world was actually shaking beneath my feet as Hogwarts was under attack.

I could see Chelsea, now being joined by Jacque. They kept their backs toward each other, each of them partaking in a duel of their own. Chelsea took on Travers, while Jacque was dueling Avery.

I began to shoot spells at open targets. I had a good position to see what was going on. Although it did not take long for a deatheater to notice me. He sent a blasting curse towards the window I was hanging out of at that moment. I dove to the ground, rolling away to avoid falling stone.

"I thought that was your red hair." Blaise said, helping me up. I smiled, before the two of us went back over to the window, which was no just a hole in the wall. We did a lot better with two people, taking down more and more deatheaters.

We were doing great and it was just luck that I turned around to see two deatheaters running up the stairs. I let out a surprised yelled, quickly turning my aim over to them, not even able to process more than that they were deatheaters. Blaise noticed my attention change, which made him turn and start shooting and blocking curses.

Jets of light flew passed me and I dove out of the way, shooting jinx after curse. I dodged a particularly nasty blasting curse, shot by Nott, that put a huge hole in the stonewall. I covered my head as pieces of stone flew in all directions, one knocking out Jugson, who Blaise had been dueling.

Both of us took Nott's shock as an open shot. He flew back several feet, landing and not moving. I glanced out of the hole in the wall, before looking at Blaise. Everyone who had been battling was gone. How long had that gone on?

"We will go to the Great Hall." Blaise said and I nodded, following him down the stairs. I did a good job keeping up, but then I stopped, letting him run ahead of me. I looked around, sure that I had heard something. I turned around when I heard it again. It sounded like someone was crying. I walked over to the other side of the staircase, my eyes landing on Lavender.

She was slightly delirious and she had a gash on the side of her face that looked like it went from her forehead to collarbone. She was muttering something, but I paid no attention, lifting her off the ground, supporting her all the way to the Great Hall.

I kicked the doors open and it took barely two seconds for Pavarti and Padma to come running up to help Lavender to the table. It was then that I noticed my family sitting at the table. I was wondering what was going on, that none of us were battling anymore.

I missed something. Maybe another echoing message like the one telling everyone to hand over Harry.

As I walked towards my family, I noticed the bodies all over the hall. My stomach began to turn and I felt horribly sick. I began to walk quicker to my family, but it did not take me very long to realize why they were all distracted. Why they were crying and why my brother George looked more depressed than I could ever imagine one of the twins looking like.

"Fred." I gasped out, my stomach dropping at the sight of my mom draped over his lifeless body. I wanted to scream, to run, but I could not take my eyes off of his lifeless body that my mom was crying over currently. I finally went to run, but my brother Bill was right there behind me. He stopped me and wrapped his arms around me.

I sat in the Great Hall for an hour, waiting. Man was I sick of waiting. Each second that ticked by made me more and more sick. The trio was missing and I have not seen any of my Slytherin friends since Blaise ran into the hall.

The oak doors opened, revealing Hermione and Ron, which helped but made things a lot worse to. I ran up to Ron, stopping him before he could see Fred, hugging him tightly. I was happy that he was okay. I hugged Hermione next, able to hear Ron behind me when he finally seen Fred.

Then I heard it. Voldemort spoke. Speaking of how we all fought valiantly but our hero was killed while trying to save himself. I exchanged looks with Hermione and Ron, wondering if he was just making it all up. They looked just as confused as I did.

"We have his body as proof…" The words echoed in the hall and I did not hesitate. I pushed passed the other two, who were right behind me a half a second later. Soon I could hear everyone rushing towards the grounds, the three of us leading the way. He could not be dead because everything I did this year was to make sure he could win this war. He could not be dead because he was supposed to save our world. He could not die because he was, at the very least, my friend.

"No!" I let out a horrid scream when I realized that Hagrid was indeed carrying Harry's body. Hermione and Ron noticed right after, their reactions much like my own. Realization passed through the crowd like a wave, some crying out and others turning away. People began to pass me, but I did not move anymore. It was not supposed to turn out like this.

Everything happened so fast after that.

Harry disappearing, people screaming, Neville chopping off the snake's head.

Soon I was standing in the middle of the battle, quickly joining in, shooting off curses. I moved my way to the outside of the battle, trying to see it from all directions. I was ducking and jumping, blocking and shooting.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a deatheater by the edge of the forest. He glanced back at the battle and then began to head in the forest. I did not think he should be hiding out, or whatever he was doing, so I took off down the hill, heading to the forest. As I got closer, I shot off three spells.

He had not seen me coming and all three had hit him directly, knocking him down. I headed towards him to check him out, when I heard someone come up behind me.

"Ginny." Daphne said, running over to me. I was thankful to see someone on my side. "Why aren't you in the room?" She asked me, which I thought was strange since we were in the middle of battle. We continued to move and dodging stray curses. I opened my mouth to say something to her, when a jet of green light shot right between us. We both dove to the side, turning around, pointing are wands at the caster.

Lucius.

He shot off another spell and I blocked it, while Daphne shot a curse at him. He was shooting off curses and blocking ours without a problem, while the two of us struggled to keep up. I did manage to get one curse to hit him, but it barely left a scratch.

That made me even more anger. He shot a curse at Daphne and I wiped my wand out and sent a blasting curse in his direction. The ground in front of him exploded and he flew back several feet. I turned to make sure Daphne was okay, but her attention was directed on a not moving Lucius. I held out my wand as we walked around the hole I blasted into the ground. He was not moving and this thrilled me, but before I could process my excitement, he was standing with his wand pointed out.

Before I could react, he shot a curse, but not very well aimed, hitting my left arm. The curse had still been strong and I swore I felt the bone crack. I let out a gasp of pain and he laughed.

He was closer now and I was having a hard time helping Daphne because of the pain in my arm. I refused to give up.

When I was sure that he was going to be through with us soon, a jet of light hit him, sending him flying back several feet, landing on his back. Daphne and I turned to see Draco and Blaise running over towards our battle.

"Go!" Draco yelled to us, as his father stood, looking furious. Draco yelled at us to move and this time we both took off running. Neither of us looked back towards the forest as we ran up the hill, dodging curses and shooting at any deatheater in sight.

"Ginny." This time it was Colin, "Look out!" He yelled, shooting off a curse straight passed Daphne and me as we reached him at the top of the hill. We did not even need to turn around to know who it was, hearing the cruel laugh of Bellatrix. We stood on either side of Colin and pointed out wands as we she walked towards us, laughing.

"This should be fun." She said, before she started, shooting off curses one after another, giving us little chance to do much but block. Bellatrix's aim was dead on and she shot off the spells so quickly that we were lucky if one of us got a curse out for every three or four of hers. I could feel the pain in my arm as it swung limply, but I ignored it, trying to watch her every move.

I was knocked several feet back, landing roughly. I did not take a second to react to any injuries, quickly standing back up. I ran back over to them as Bellatrix shot off three jets of green light, one just missing Daphne.

Colin blocked one of the curses, but was hit immediately after by a second one in the stomach.

My mind screamed as I watched him fall to the ground, his eyes staring lifelessly out. Within that rage I felt, I managed to catch Bellatrix off guard.

"Crucio!" I yelled, hit her directly and she fell to the ground, screaming. The sound of her scream only made me want to torture her until she went insane. Watch her squirm in pain so she could harm no one else.

As Colin's death set into my mind, my curse weakened and she managed to throw it off, quickly standing as if it did nothing to her.

"Wee Potter's girlfriend can torture." She said in her childlike voice, laughing and rejoining the battle against only Daphne and me now. She shot a curse at Daphne and I ran towards Bellatrix, shooting one at her.

They both blocked as I ran passed Daphne and Bellatrix shot another jet green light right at me, forcing me to dive to the ground as it missed me by mere inches.

A scream was cut short behind me and instead of standing, I turned to look. My breath was taken away once I seen Daphne laying just feet from Colin. I turned back around to see Bellatrix now standing above me, her face twisted with a hateful smile.

"Let's see how long until you go insane." Bellatrix said, immediately hitting me with the Cruciatus Curse and I screamed out. I felt all the pain of the battle on top of feeling as if I was burning from the inside out with thousands of knives stabbing me.

She was standing so close and the pain was so unbelievable that I just wanted her to end it. I did not want to fight anymore and I just wanted to join Colin and Daphne, away from all of this pain.

Then the curse stopped and I did not hear the sound of her laugh. I opened my eyes and realized she was no longer standing above me. I quickly got up, my desire to give up gone as Luna and Hermione came running up to join me.

Bellatrix was back and ready to fight the three of us. She seemed to be stronger now, or perhaps I was just weaker. I hated to think of her beating any of us and decided it was time I aimed to kill with her. Before I could she shot off three killing curses, which Hermione blocked and missed Luna and me by inches.

"Not my daughter you bitch!" Before I knew it, my mom was in a duel with Bellatrix, telling the three of us to back off. It was a fierce duel and Bellatrix took a moment to laugh at my mom who was determined to beat her. The three of us just stood there, unable to look away even as a battle raged on around us.

As Bellatrix continued to laugh at her opponent, a cruse hit her directly in her chest and I watched as her body slowly crumbled and fell to the ground. I felt an insane amount of relief that I did not know was possible to feel watching someone die.

Voldemort let out a yell and I turned to see him knock his three opponents down and aim his wand at my mom. I was prepared to die helping my mom fight him if it came to it. There was not a question about that in my mind.

A shield formed and Harry appeared, causing several people to gasp and cheer. It was silent after a moment as Harry approached Voldemort. This was the end and everyone froze to see how it would end. My eyes were trapped on them as they circled around, neither pleased that the other one was still alive, both wondering how to kill the other.

Voldemort yelled out the killing curse as Harry aimed to disarm. The spells hit each other and they fought to keep their spell alive. Harry had explained to me once before when I asked him why he stuck with the disarming spell as his main spell. What is a wizard without his wand?

The spells began to shoot off more sparks and the crowd backed up a lot. Harry yelled something and before I knew it, his red jet of light over powered Voldemort, sending both jets of lights into his chest. He was knocked back and was dead before his body hit the ground.

When you finally trust me

Finally believe in me

I will let you down

-Three Days Grace

I sat down by the lake and just stared out. The battle had ended over a week ago and everyone returned home. Some students stayed at the school, wanting to stay until the end of term. I stayed, not ready to go home. Going home, I had to deal with everything else in my life. Dealing with finding out what I mean to Draco and how to get my family to accept him.

Another good question was when I return to school next year, will I be in sixth or seventh year. I should not even need to come back. Being involved in a wizarding battle should be enough to earn you a wizarding degree.

I laid back in the grass, staring up at the sky. The deaths of Colin and Daphne had hit me hard, not to mention my brother and later finding the bodies of Jacque and Chelsea. Sleeping had become a task in itself. I watched them die over and over, as well as everyone else most of the passed week, hearing Bellatrix laugh ring in my ears.

I have not really had a chance to talk to any of my Slytherin friends. Just a good to know you are alive kind of thing. It was kings of uncomfortable after I had watched Daphne die. I did know Blaise was leaving London after he left Hogwarts. He was packing up all of his stuff and just going to leave. He did not want to talk to anyone. Daphne's death did not settle with him to well, not that I expected it to.

"Ginny." I recognized the voice, instinctively smiling. I sat up and looked around, seeing Draco standing by a tree a few feet from me.

"Hey." I said, smiling. He did not move, so I got up and walked over to him. I kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck, he was hesitant at first, which was unusual, but he quickly joined in. He pushed me up against the tree and it felt nice to have him here.

I had not seen him for a couple days after the battle, leaving me to wonder if Lucius had done away with him. After I did see him, well, he was quite busy every time I saw him.

He pulled away and took a step back, catching me off guard. I was not sure how to react. I took a step towards him, but he took a step back. I started to realize what was going on; feeling like my heart was starting to chip away.

"What's going on?" I asked him firmly, my voice even and set.

"I don't know what you may think, but there is nothing between us." He said his voice cold and plain, no emotion. Sounding much like Lucius, who was now spending the rest of his life in Azkaban. Oddly enough, I prefer him to be there rather than dead. It had to be worse than death.

"What the hell is this about?" I asked him, crossing my arms. I could not believe that he really meant that. He never opened up to anyone before. He opened up to me. That has to mean something.

"You mean nothing to me. Everything that happened between us was just my protecting you and sex." He said his voice blunt. I have heard Draco be blunt and he does not do blunt very well with me, especially when it seems like it would hurt me.

I did not believe him.

"What were you feeling when you opened up to me?" I asked him, taking a step closer. He looked away.

"I told you already, I only told you all that because you cornered me into telling you." He said, stepping away. My jaw practically fell open. I turned and lift the back of my shirt, exposing my long gash. I turned around in time to see him wiping a shocked look off his face. "A battle wound, what's the supposed to mean. We all have them." He said, waving it off.

"I know you could hear me scream from dungeon when your aunt sliced open my back. I know you felt something." I said and I grabbed a hold of him, not letting him take a step away. I pulled the neckline of my shirt down, forcing him to look at the mark on my neck and he pushed me away. "Don't feed me this bullshit! I know you felt something because you would have let you father keep placing his hands all over me. Your father biting my neck and exposing me, all right in front of you. He would have actually raped me if you-" I was in the middle of speaking and he started to shout.

"When I did what I promised! To protect you! Does not mean I felt anything watching him do any of that to you." He said, rambling off at the end. Blaise was standing behind us now, but he stayed a while back, realizing we were fighting. I highly doubted that he could not hear us, though his appalled and shocked face proved that to me

"Draco." I said weakly and he threw his arms up.

"Bloody hell women you are just as bad as the rest of them. I was alone in the forest with only you for company. Of course I fucked you! However, that is all you mean to me. Our time together was nothing. And I do think your crazy for saying you were falling for me." He said, the last part ending the conversation. I could not control it anymore, the tears just spilling out.

I turned away, walking back over to my spot by the lake. I could hear Draco and Blaise start to yell and then I heard Blaise tear into Draco.

"You know you have been my best friend for years. I have defended you when others called you heartless and I told people to look passed the mark on your arm. I told Ginny to let you in because you weren't that bad of a guy." Blaise said, his voice getting closer towards me, but still facing Draco. "You had me fooled and had me lying to everyone for you. You are not welcome here and your friendship is not welcome with me anymore." He said turning around. I could hear Draco curse to himself as he walked away.

Blaise took a seat next to me, the sun starting to sink behind the mountains. We sat in silence, neither of us having anything to say. It was completely dark out before Blaise forced me to stand up.

"I will be leaving tomorrow. I came to wish you two luck together. Sorry I haven't been around." He admitted as we walked up towards the castle.

"I can't really blame you. Losing her must have been hard." I said, looping my arm around his and laying my head on his shoulder as we walked. "Do you really have to leave?" I asked him and I could practically feel him smirk.

"Are you going to beg me to stay?" He asked me and I nodded into his shoulder.

"Stay and be miserable with me. You lost your love and best friend in Daphne. I lost my love in Draco and my best friend Colin. You don't need to leave." I said, following him up the steps and into the school. He smirked a little.

"I appreciate the begging. I also appreciate you as a friend. You mean quite a deal to me, Ginny, for me to end my friendship with Draco." He explained to me, stopping at the foot of the main staircase. "Although I think that Draco is the one who needs to sort some things out, I must leave." He said making sure I knew that he would be gone tomorrow.

"Well find me whenever you come back. I'd hate to lose a friend like you forever." I said, hugging him before he told me to get going to bed. I walked up the stairs, my body sore and my heart aching. I had been wrong to fall for Draco and he proved that to me in a rather rude way. No one else needed to know what went on between Draco and me.

From this, I will move on and it will remain my biggest secret.

I'm taking care of it

Cause you won't be there for me

If you were dead or still alive

I don't care

I don't care

At all
