Living Life

Chapter 7

A Very Bloody Ending

Six Years Later...

Everyone was living happy lives. Ginny and Harry the most. You see, about three years ago, they had found a cure for Ginny's lung cancer in the Wizarding world. They had given it to her and in about a week the lung cancer was completely gone. No traces of it were found whatsoever when they did the last examination.

So, instead of imposing on people and living in someone else's house like Godric's Hollow or Grimmauld Place, since it was taken up by so many people, Harry, Ginny and Sabrina got a place of their own in Diagon Alley. It wasn't as big as Grimmauld Place, but it would fit all three of them and that was enough.

Sabrina was now eleven and at Hogwarts as I type up this story. She had been sorted into Gryffindor - never breaking the Weasley tradition.

It was nearing the Christmas holidays, and Sabrina was expected to come home. The kids, or adults now, were expected to come to Grimmauld Place for Christmas Day and Eve - especially New Years...

...but it wouldn't turn out a happy ending for the big family.

There was always a loop hole in big happy fairytales right?

This one had one as well.

-o-

Ginny Potter was at Hogwarts. She had gotten a job teaching as the new D.A.D.A teacher for Hogwarts. People were whispering as to how she wouldn't last for an entire year. But she didn't listen to any of them.

She vowed to make it through the year, unlike everyone else.

Her class had just ended, so she decided to take a little detour for old time sake.

She went down to...

...The Chamber of Secrets.

-o-

Harry was resting. His classes as the Transfiguration teacher after Professor McGonagall had retired had taken a toll on him so he decided to go and rest for a while.

He slowly dozed off, not realizing what dreams awaited him in his sleeping slumber...

-o-

He appeared to be in a chamber. Looking around, he thought it was highly familiar – well, it would have to be.

He was in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts. Somewhere he hadn't been since he was twelve years old …

But why was he here?

He always got a creepy feeling around here, because this is the place where Tom Riddle's soul resided. He walked around, and finally came to a conclusion.

This tunnel was endless.

But while walking, he spotted something. Though he couldn't tell what it was, it was too far away.

He walked over to it slowly, and the figure or whatever it was began to slowly take shape.

It was a human body, that he was sure of. The body had blood everywhere so you couldn't make out who the person was (A/N– For some reason that sounds horribly wrong to me), there were numerous cuts and bruises everywhere, it didn't appear to have any clothes – it was horrifying.

He sat down next to the body and tried to observe it better. From what he could tell, it was a girl – and she had been maliciously murdered by something that resided here.

One thing that confused him – her eyes were still open.

When he looked into them, he almost yelled.

It was Ginny Weasley.

-o-

Harry shot out of bed, his eyes open, panting heavily. What was that? he exclaimed in his head. It seemed so awfully familiar... if I could only-

The Chamber of Secrets!

"Hang on, I'm coming, Ginny!" he exclaimed to no one in particular, getting out of bed quickly and running down to the Chamber... hoping and praying Ginny was still alive.

-o-

Tom Riddle stood leaning over Ginny Weasley- no, Potter's very cold body, running his fingers through her hair.

Yes.

He had killed her.

Potter didn't deserve her. He got too many things in life. Fame, glory, money, friends, family, a daughter...

He wouldn't get such a beautiful treasure.

He would keep Ginny to himself, even if it meant killing her and him as well.

Suddenly he heard footsteps and disappeared into the shadows. He knew it was Harry, so he may as well give the brat a few more minutes with his beloved wife before she dies, just like his mother did when he was a baby! You're losing everyone you love Harry...can you save them all? Who will you leave behind? Who will die?

-o-

Harry ran all the way to the Chamber of Secrets, not stopping once. Professor Snape had tried cornering him on the way, demanding to know why he was like this, but he pushed the Professor out of the way, not caring if he got in trouble.

Hey, he was a teacher now, so why would he?

He ran at the speed of light – hoping, praying to God and everyone else that his vision wasn't true.

He was panting heavily by the time he reached the entrance. He said the password in Parseltongue and the door opened, letting him inside. Moving slowly in, he then began running to where he found Ginny in his vision.

What he saw, made his eyes go wide.

From what he could tell, it was a girl – and she had been maliciously murdered by something that resided here.

One thing that confused him – her eyes were still open.

It was Ginny.

"No...No!" Harry yelled, taking her cold body in his arms. "Come on, Ginny, wake up! Wake up!"

"She won't wake."

Harry looked up to be face-to-face with Tom Riddle. "You..." he snarled, placing her body gently back down on the floor to stand up, looking at Tom Riddle directly in the eye.

It was like complete déja vu for Harry; it was exactly like when he was twelve years old...except for all that happened in their lives after.

Now...it was different.

"I'll kill you again," Harry said fiercely.

"Ah... it won't be so easy to kill me this time, Harry," Tom said with a sly smirk. "You see..."

"...I'm alive. Not because of a book or a diary...I have an actualy body with a real heartbeat. Oh, and Harry?"

"It won't be me dying..."

"It will be you."

-END-

A/N: I AM SO SORRY! But now the story is complete and you won't have to worry anymore, will you?

Yes, it is over! I know it's short but I just had this inspiration and had to write it down before I forgot!

I hope I don't get killed!

Thanks for your reviews.. please be kind! -hides-
