Chapter 48 : Damn You, Lucius

I followed him. He suddenly put me right behind him, and hid us behind a huge tree.

I looked around to see the fights that were going on. Mum was crying. Why was she crying? I felt the need to go and comfort her, but as soon as my feet moved, Harry grabbed me harder by the waist. "She probably thinks we didn't make it." He said. I realised he was right. I was so shaken up by everything that had happened that I couldn't even think straight.

Oh.. mum..I'm here. One thing that I admired in that moment, was that my mum was indeed, crying, but she didn't fight with any less conviction.

Ron was fighting with Bill against a bunch of death eaters. They were all masked. Cowards. Show your face.

Hermione, George and Dad were fighting against Lesomber. Shit, he surely knew how to fight.

And Mum and Percy were struggling against Lucius.

"Don't cry now, Molly. This is only the second child you lose. You will have plenty of others to grieve soon enough." Malfoy snarled.

"And what about you, Lucius? Do you love your child?!" An angry Mum shouted.

Lucius' gaze darkened. "Don't talk about things you don't know." He then snorted. "Maybe I'll let you live so that you can find your daughter and the great Potter's dead bodies. Nevertheless," he hissed. "I understand your anger. Potter died without any legal link to your family, so you won't have any heritage. That's too bad.."

"Don't listen to him mum!" Percy said, trying to protect his mother, but she was too outraged.

"Do you think I care about money Lucius? Do you think I'm as greedy and dumb as you are? Don't you think he would be a part of our family? Or do you even know what's a family?!"

Lucius was about to say something when Percy sent him flying backwards.

"Even poor, Harry would be my son. Even dead, Harry is my son."

Lucius got up. "You stupid woman! You're so naive!" He said before he stupefied Percy. Mum got even angrier at that.

"And you're a stupid asshole who left his family!"

I had never heard my mum speak this way since she had killed Bellatrix.

Malfoy's face twisted, and he looked ready to kill. He lifted up his wand, and with as much anger as he could, shouted. "AVADA KEDA-"

"DON'T YOU DARE!"

Lucius was hit hard by Harry's spell, and was sent a few feets away.

Mum's eyes lit up at the sound of his voice.

"Mum!!" I shouted, but Harry pushed me behind him.

"You don't have a wand!" He said.

Lesomber looked at the comotion, and his eyes widened at the sight of Harry and me.

Everyone seemed to notice us.

"Damn it!!" Ron sighed in relief. Dad, Bill, and George looked at us in disbelief.

Hermione let out a sighed of surprise, and then made the best of the situation. LeSomber was distracted, so she sent him flying backwards. And then, she stupefied him.

Another Death Eater fell a second later, and George screamed. "GINNY! " I turned around just in time to see George throwing a wand at me. I managed to grab it, point it at LeSomber, and simply said. "Reducto."

The man exploded, and the fight started again, even harder than it was before.

Ron and Bill managed to bring down a few more death eaters, as did Percy, who had been taken back to his feet by Mum, who had stopped crying. She beat another man, while Dad and Hermione were dealing with some strong opponent.

"I see you're alive." Lucius turned to us.

"Surprised, are you?" I asked.

"How did you? You should have died under the weight of the manor." He said, this time trying to hide his curiosity.

"You already know." Harry said calmly.

"Do I?"

"That's pretty much why we're currently here."

"So what saved you was your connection?" He asked, still putting on his evil grin.

"Bravo!" I said, my voice filled with sarcasm.

"Dont use that tone with me Blood Traitor." He threatened before his face broke into a psychopathic smile. "By the way, did you have fun with Crabbe?"

Memories of his hands all over my body came back, and I felt nauseous.

"Shut the fuck up!" Harry yelled before I could say anything.

"Over protective boyfriend I see." Lucius snarled before saying "Cruccio!"

I managed to move aside just before the curse could hit me, and ignored the sharp pain in my leg. Harry growled and shot any spell that came to his mind at Lucius. I decided to let him throw his anger at the blonde man while I watched the scene around me. Hermione was struggling against a tall man. He seemed quite good, so I decided to help. "Stupefy!!" I said, and the man fell to the ground. Hermione, surprised, looked around her, and spotted me. "My pleasure." I smiled.

She let out a laugh, but her smile faded as a scream echoed against the garden's gates of the LeSomber manor. We both turned around sharply, as we recognised Ron's voice.

"RON!" We heard Harry shout as he must have realized what had happened. Hermione couldn't move, she was frozen.  The others were fighting so hard that they couldn't take a single look at him. His arm was totally red from the blood, as well as his stomach, and he was becoming pale.

"HERMIONE DO SOMETHING!" I screamed. She suddenly snapped out of her transe and rushed to her boyfriend. Apart from mum, Hermione was the only who knew some magic in the medical domain.

I turned around to look at the fight Harry and Lucius were having.

"Less confidence?" Harry said while dodging a spell.  "You won't get rid of us that easily."

"That's not over yet, Potter." Malfoy replied, shoting another spell that Harry dodged as well.

"That it isn't." I said, stepping next to Harry, who smirked at me.

You shield, I shoot. I told Harry silently.

Call me your personal shield. Harry replied sassily. He did it anyway, and created a shield around us.

There were less and less death eaters standing around us every minute.

Lift it. I thought, and instantly, Harry lifted the shield so I could shot a spell at Lucius. And as soon as he had lifted it, Harry brought the shield back before us.

One. Two. Three. He lifted, I shot, he shielded us again.

"I see," Lucius said. "Your bond."

"Might as well use it." I snapped.

One. Two. Three. Harry obeyed.

"I'm not impressed." Our opponent laughed.

One. Two. Three. Another spell.

"Still standing." He taunted us sarcastically.

One. Two. Three. Once again.

"That's useless." He smirked. "Your little tactic isn't working on me Potter."

THREE. And time Lucius wasn't ready, and fell to the ground. Harry broke the shield and shot a spell at Lucius as soon as he tried to get back up. He had petrified him.

"Not working, huh?" Harry asked the man, though he was obviously not waiting for an answer, and then turned to me. "Do it."

I pointed my wand to the blond man laying, frozen, on the warm and bloody ground.

"Damn you, Lucius." I said, before I pronounced the last thing he would ever hear. I used all the strength I had ledt in me to say it."Reducto." I would regret it. Killing two men in a day. But they needed to be stopped. They weren't getting anywhere. They were just hopeless. We had to destroy every fanatic follower of Voldemort until they were all locked, or dead.

I turned to my family. Every death eater were laying down on the ground. I looked at Ron. He was standing. There was dry blood on his arm and stomach, but he smiled at me. Hermione was holding his hand firmly. Mum just looked at me, as though she was wondering wether she should cry or smile. Dad just smiled lovingly at me. Bill and Percy seemed exhausted. I turned to face Harry.

"Harry.." I sighed. My leg was hurting as hell, and everything was blurred around me, except him. I needed to tell him. Maybe I was dying right now. I needed him to know.

"Ginny..?"

I thought hard. The hardest I could. I thought about him. And the first time we kissed. I thought about everything I had felt back then. I thought about him. Him. And just him. I couldn't say it. I just hoped he understood.

Realization shone through his eyes, and he stood there, confused. "Ginny.."

"Harry.." I murmured as everything became black, and the last thing I felt was two arms catching me.

I love you.
