 You've all been so patient so here it is x
Chapter Thirty – Seven
Harry’s looked anxiously for any entrance as he found the bottom of the staircase. He ran his hand over the wall feeling the cool stone under his fingertips. He stepped back drawing his wand, if Voldemort was going to find out where he was it would be now. He shot a blast at the wall shouting “Bombarda Maxima” a large crack appeared down the centre, he tried again, the crack got larger until he saw an eye looking through. He recognised those eyes; they belonged to a son as well.
“MALFOY” he shouted, “OPEN UP!”
Ginny heard him, he was here he was alive, “HARRY” She shouted hearing him “HARRY IM IN HERE”. She shouted standing at the bars watching Lucius point his wand through the crack.
“IM COMING” He shouted back hearing her voice and jumping out of the way as Lucius sent a green spark in his direction. “I wouldn’t do that remember your master wants be alive”
He shot out at the wall again the crack was big enough to get through now. He dodged another attack as he heard the sound of footsteps. He hid in the corner wand still drawn thinking it would be death eaters to surprise and completely shocked when he saw who it actually was.

Voldemort was pacing, pacing because he was coming. He had to be ready to fight, to kill the last person standing in his way. His faithful servant appeared in the fire place, “My Lord they are coming as you know, but will you attack the aurors”
“It will not do well to shed there wizard blood when there is only a boys live to be taken today”
“And if they try to stop you?”
“They will pay the price; let’s just hope your girlfriend knows what she’s doing”
“I told her not to come, I don’t think she will listen but she won’t get in the way she has a life at stake as well as her own”
“A pureblood of our cause is a life worth saving, as it is your child they will be protected”
“Thankyou my lord”
“Be aware they do not know of whose blood she is linked to as I do”
“I understand my lord” he bowed his head and disappeared from the flames.
He sat at his desk; he would let the boy come to him, once he had the girl it would make the victory sweeter to see her scream as he died, to see them all in pain when the boy who lived would live no more.

Ron led the way until they ran into trouble there were three death eaters awaking two others in the hallway. The twins stood up and pointed there wands shouting, the three men behind them did the same.
The twins shot out first, Willow and Ron a split second later as they dodged and ducked in the hallway. Ron got past the five standing behind them pulling Hermione under one of the twin’s legs as he raised her in the air, causing a spell to avoid Willow by inches. Eventually the eight of them had the five death eater’s wand less and held in the air. The four other aurors lead the three out of the building leaving Ron, Hermione, Willow and Damien to carry on there search.
They followed the hallway until Willow called for silence “Do you here that?” there was another loud bang. “If Harry’s using force then that was him, he’s either fighting or he’s found her and is trying to get her out”
“Then lets go” said Hermione moving forward wand drawn standing with Ron. They walked down the hallway toward the noise and down the staircase.
“Harry!” shouted Hermione running towards him “Watch out he yelled” leaping forward and pulling her down as a green light shot out from the hole in the wall. “It’s Malfoy” he said as he helped her up in the corner, “I can’t get a shot at him”
“Then let us try mate” said Ron shooting out a purple bolt and causing Lucius to been thrown back across the room, as he shot out at Hermione and Harry pulled her out of the way again.
Harry ran in wand drawn and straight to her cell.
“STAND BACK” he shouted and pointed his wand, without even having to say the words the door flew back against the wall smashing. He stood there looking at her. She was broken, but there was still fire in her eyes. “Harry” she smiled, he walked over and lifted her up into his arms,
“I’m sorry Gin” he whispered into her ear, carrying her out to the others. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck, she wouldn’t let go and he didn’t want her too.
They made it outside without any attacks and he set her on her feet. “Will you wait here” he stroked her cheek gently, and she shook her head “Please don’t go, Harry I’ve just got you back”
“I have to”
“You don’t not yet… please” she grabbed the front of his robes and he placed his hands on top of hers,
“Gin please don’t make this harder then it is”
“Just one more day Harry, just one day, I’m begging you” She moved forward still holding on, and lay her head against his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her. “Please Harry”
“Gin-”
“- I have to say goodbye in case you don’t come back” she sobbed.
She didn’t know, and he couldn’t tell her he wouldn’t be. Tears began to fall from his own eyes as he held on tighter, “Goodbye Ginny” he let go of her and walked away quickly, he couldn’t look back not now.
“HARRY!” She shouted but he didn’t turn around “HARRY STOP PLEASE” he got to the door way and dropped his bag on the floor.
Ginny ran forward after him but Ron moved swiftly away from the group of aurors and held to her round her middle as she fought his hold “You have to let him go”
“NO!” She screamed, “I WON’T”
“Let him go Ginny, please let him go”
Harry walked inside her screams, her crying still echoing in his ears. He leant on the wall and ran a hand though his hair. He couldn’t lose it, not now; he bent down and pulled out the sword. He took out the deluminator and snitch placing one in each pocket. Memories from his past came to mind, his first quidditch match, he walked forward wand in hand, sword in the other. Setting the snake free at the zoo -He kept moving -his first kiss with Ginny, watching Cedric die before his eyes. He hoped his death would be like that. Quick and painless, no more suffering.
He knew where he was going Voldemort had made sure of that, the part of him inside leading him to his death. He walked up the winding staircase to the closed door. He was ready.
