Harry Potter and the
Daughter of War
By Ashura
Chapter Two: Confrontation
�So he just, disappeared?�
Ron questioned Harry as they, Hermione and Ginny sat in the Weasley�s
living room, where Mrs. Weasley had conveniently laid out a platter of milk
& cookies for them. Harry couldn�t help feeling relieved that the topic of
discussion was now focused away from him and Ginny.
�Yeah,� said Harry, �I�m
guessing he dissaperated or��
�But that�s impossible!�
Hermione exclaimed.
�Why
not?�
�Because
anti-apparation wards have been placed around this
house for protection,� Hermione stated in her usual as-a-matter-of-fact
attitude.
�Maybe he used some other
spell. I�m sure Apparation isn�t the only
quick-escape method,� Ginny said, taking a sip of her milk, �Maybe it has to do
with him backing into those trees you mentioned.�
�Backing into trees, you
say?� came the eerie voice of Moody behind them, causing all three of them to
jump in their seats in suprise.
"Don't do that!"
Ron shouted, giving the ex-auror a dirty look.
�Y-yes sir,� Harry told
Moody, a little shaky himself.
�Ahem, forgive me. I
couldn�t help but overhear,� Moody apologized, �By any chance, were the trees
dark, er, did they have a lot of Shadows?�
�Well yes they did,�
replied Harry, �That was why I didn�t see��
�Shadow Walking!�
he suddenly shouted. Harry, as well as the other three, stared at Mad-Eye, not
sure if he was serious or really �bark�ing mad. �Shadow
Walk,� he continued, �Is NOT a type of apparation,
but an escape method used primarily by wizard assassins. Basically, the user
blends his/her body into his/her shadow, usually used in a dark corner (in this
case a bunch of trees) and moves along other shadows. Very difficult to learn,
but I wouldn�t use it myself.�
�Why not?� asked Ron, �Sounds like a useful spell to me.�
�Well, think about it,�
said Ginny, �For there to be a shadow, there must be an object to create it and
the sun shining behind it. If there are no objects, or if it�s a cloudy day,
you have no shadows.�
�Bravo,� exclaimed Moody,
clapping his approval, �couldn�t have said it better myself!� and with that
said, Moody walked towards the kitchen, leaving the four teens alone once
again.
Harry couldn�t help but
feel a little proud and amazed at how Ginny figured the shadow problem out so
quickly. But much to his dislike, the aching feeling in his chest was starting
to return, and he would rather not experience it again.
�Still, this leaves me
worried,� said Hermione, �I thought when it came to reading minds, only
Voldemort�� a wince came from Ron when Ginny elbowed him in the ribs, ��and
Snape were a threat. But now, it seems there are probably plenty Death Eaters
who can��
�Oh, lighten up Hermione!�
exclaimed Ron, taking a bite of one of the cookies, �Just because he can do it
doesn�t mean he�s a Death Eater!�
�I know that, Ron. I�m
just saying it�s a possibility that the other Death Eaters can, too,� she reminded
him, "And don't talk with your mouth full, Ron, it's disgusting."
Harry heard Ginny snicker
at that last comment.
�Well, it can�t be too
easy to do it! Maybe this guy was an elite auror; an
assassin like Moody said!�
�Yes, Ron, but just to be
on the safe side��
�And what would you have
all of us do, learn Occlumency? Even Harry couldn�t��
�But Ron, that�s not what
I��
Just then, Harry felt a
slight nudge in his ribs, and turned his head to see Ginny rolling her eyes at
them.
�I�m getting tired of
this. Fancy a walk?� Harry nodded, and the two left quickly, with Ron and
Hermione not even noticing a thing.
�Man, they sure argue a
lot, don�t they?� Ginny laughed as she ran in front of Harry. He couldn�t help
but laugh at just how energetic she was, despite what Mr. Weasley had said
about her being depressed. He supposed she was happy just to be with him right
now.
However, he hated to
disappoint any ideas she had. How he hated distancing himself from her, when
all he wanted to do was take her in his arms and show her just how much he
really cared. But that was something he could not afford to do.
�Harry, you okay?� she
asked him, snapping him out of his stupor.
�Yeah, I�m fine,� he
responded, though he wasn�t so sure of his answer. Truth was,
his �monster� was driving him insane with thoughts of pulling her close,
kissing her, whispering sweet thoughts into her ear�
�You did it again!� she
laughed, �you sure you�re okay, Harry?�
�Yes Jess,� he said with a
bit more confidence, �I�m fine.� But seeing Ginny frown made him think she
still didn�t believe him one bit.
�Well,� she said quietly,
turning her back on him and staring at the ground, �I�m not.� He was just about
to ask her what was wrong, but he realized he already knew.
�I-it hurts, Harry,� she
told him, her voice rough and Harry swore her heard her sniff up a few tears,
�You�re right here, and yet I can�t even touch you.�
�Ginny,� he tried to say
calmly, without breaking down as well, �We�ve been through this. Voldemort
could��
�To hell
with Voldemort!
I don�t care!� she snapped her head back at him, and Harry could see now that
she did in fact have tears in her brown eyes.
�I�m one of the best
duelers you know! And I can improve! I�ll learn more spells! I�ll train harder!
I�ll��
�Ginny, we CAN�T! it doesn�t matter how much stronger you get, he�ll still be
even stronger! The only way is if we are sure he�s��
�Dead? And who�s going to do that, you?
Prophecy or not, you can�t do this alone!�
�Ginny, I have to!� Harry
argued with her, �I have to do this alone! I have no choice! I can�t be held
responsible for you or anyone else!�
He was fed up with this.
No one understood anything. No matter how powerful Ginny was, no matter how
much his heart ached for her, the image of Voldemort laughing over her dead,
lifeless body always changed his mind. He had let too many people die because
he could not save them: Cedric. Sirius. Dumbledore. Each of their deaths could have been prevented,
had he only been stronger.
�Ginny, I thought we had
an understanding. You said you knew I had to fight Voldemort alone.�
�You�ll let Ron and
Hermione��
�That�s different, Ginny!�
�Are you saying you love
them more than me!� she yelled and turned to run away from him, not wanting to
hear his answer.
But she felt her arm being
pulled and she came face to face with Harry once again. �Ginny, I love you more
than anything!� he insisted, pulling her to him and holding her close. She
smelt like , �And that�s why I can�t drag you into any
more danger.�
�But Harry, I��
�No but�s,
Ginny!� he cried, �I want to be with you too, but I would feel a whole lot
better if I didn�t think you were out there risking your life by fighting with
me.�
�But Hermione and my
brother��
��have been with me since
this whole mess started, and know exactly what�s out there. I don�t worry about
them as much as I do with you.�
Tears were now pouring
down his face as everything he had been feeling for the past two months poured
out of him. He felt more at ease, more sure that he had done the right thing.
The monster in his chest had now settled.
A silence now filled the
grassy field, as Ginny took in Harry�s words. They stung in her heart; he did
not trust her as much as Hermione and Ron. Nevertheless, she knew that he was
right to feel this way. Ron and Hermione had been with Harry since day one, and
risked their lives for him on numerous occasions. She, however, was only in
battle twice, and faced death only in her 1st year. And having him worry about
her, he said, would only hinder him when he faced Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
�Harry,� she finally said.
�Yes, Ginny?�
�When you kill Voldemort,�
she said, and paused to place a brief kiss on his lips, �You had better make it
up to me.�
He laughed. He couldn�t
help but laugh, and it felt good. He hadn�t laughed in a long time.
�Sure, Gin. You�ve got
it.�
And with that, she smiled,
hugged him, and backed up several steps. Harry looked at her curiously, not
sure what exactly she was up to.
�Well, now that that�s
been settled,� she said, and reached into her pocket and drew out her wand,
�Let�s duel, Harry.�
He stared at her. She
grinned back. She wasn�t serious, was she? But she ahd
her wand out; it was poised in the traditional dual starting position.
�Ginny, are you�� he began
to say, but she nodded before he could even finish. She was definitely serious,
�But why, Gin?�
�Simple,� she told him,
�Both you and Ron (as well as my parents and other five brothers) seem to think
I�m this fragile little girl that needs to be protected and cared for.
�Ginny, it�s not that I��
�I don�t care. Besides,�
she said, and her grin made Harry get goosebumps,
�I�ve always wanted to.�
�But Gin, I��
�Fine, you want incentive?
We�ll make a little bet. Fifty galleons and, as an added
bonus, a date.�
�A date?� he questioned,
�Ginny, we just agreed that��
�Don�t worry; I have it
covered. Besides, if you win, I�ll leave alone completely and I won�t even
complain once!�
�Ginny, you don�t even
have fifty galleons!�
�How do you know I don�t?�
�How do I know you do?�
�You won�t win, so it
doesn�t matter.�
�Oh really?�
�Yes,
really.�
�I don�t think I could
lose to��
�Prove it then,� she
challenged him. With that, Harry had enough and pulled out his wand. He and
Ginny bowed to each other and prepared to cast the first spell.
Harry gulped. He had never
seen Ginny duel completely, so he had no clue as to how the duel would start.
From what he saw from the only two duels he witnessed from her, she seemed to
be using a �wait for an opening� strategy. That meant that he had to�
�Ardor Sempra!� he heard Ginny yell, and Harry was barely able
to dodge the fiery stream that came streaming towards him. He heard
her cast it again, but Harry was ready for it now.
�Protego!�
he cried, but Ginny�s spell simply cut right through the shield and hacked into
Harry�s chest. He winced when he stood back up. His shirt had been completely
burned off, and 2nd degree burns were clearly visible on his chest.
�One thing I�ve learned
about the Shield Charm,� Ginny explained, �is that it can�t block elemental
spells. Nice chest, though. Rarr.�
�Expelliarmus!� he
yelled, and Ginny, distracted by her own statements, couldn�t block it in time
and her wand flew from her hand to the ground behind her.
�Hey, I wasn�t��
�Accio
wand!�
Harry cried, pointing at Ginny�s wand. It flew off the ground and towards his
open hand. Much to his surprise, however, Ginny lunged for it as it drove past
her. She succeeded in grabbing onto it, and was able to hold her ground just
enough to�
�Stupefy!� this
time, Harry had no choice but to dodge, breaking the spell from her wand. But
before he could even get back up, he found several tiny bats approaching him
rapidly.
�Ardor Maxime!� he cried, and like he saw when Ginny dueled George, a large beam of red light shot out from his
wand. To his surprise, the bats that weren�t hit were also burned in the
process. Harry wondered how Ginny��
�Expelliarmus!� he
heard Ginny shout, and instantly knew it was over. His wand shot out from his
hand and with a �Accio wand!�, she caught it
before it ever rached the ground.
�I guess this one goes to
me!� she grinned happily, kissing her wand as an afterthought. Beating Harry
Potter sure made her happy, proving herself as she had
hoped.
But inside, Harry was
devastated.
A/N: well? Comments? Bashings? Have an idea
you would like to see later on (I will credit you)? Want to just say hi? Either
way, read & review! It�s what I live write for.
Dueling Notes: Ardor Sempra�"Burn
Repeatedly." There are other words I could have used, but I think Ardor sounds better than the
alternative. But you're the reviewer, so you may decide
if you want me to be spot-on accurate or not.
