Nothing

Emptiness

Numbness

Her mind felt blank .

She became aware of something

A feeling in her hands

She opened her eyes to see she was holding another pair of hands

Belonging to a man she swore she knew

Who was he

Who was she

The Boy looked at her equally confused

The Eternal Whiteness gave way to the floor. As soon as they made impact it all came back to them. Hermione felt like crying.
“Are you OK”? Harry asked.
“Did you just die for me?” Hermione asked shaken.
Harry looked around “I honestly don't know.....”
They looked at the world around them, both seeing very familiar settings. “Where are we?” Hermione said confused.
“I see Kings cross station” Harry whispered. They knew where they where.

“Then we are dead” she whispered.
“I'm not so sure Hermione. I've been here before and returned. I think the veil is the a gateway to other side.” Harry said thoughtfully.
“Can we get out?” Hermione said under her breath. She was not used to being completely ignorant of something. In fact the circumstances of Harry having any knowledge of this place at all was incredible.
“I have no clue Hermione....” Harry said as he stared at the strange world in front of them.
“Harry, Hermione come have a drink with me.”
They both turned to see a very normal and cheerful Ron sitting at a table with drinks in his hand. It was as if nothing had happened to him. He had his hands, his red hair and actual colour in his face. The 2 slowly waked to the table not sure what to think.
“What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost” Ron laughed. “Well what what are you waiting for sit down.”
Not knowing what else to do they sat down. Ron poured them both drinks which they stared at.

“Well it's not going to be poison now is it” Ron laughed again. “Isn't this place paradise. I mean bloody hell, whats the point of living when you got this paradise. I can't believe you gave this up to stop Voldemort Harry. I suppose I should thank you.”
He lifted his mug “To Harry Potter the Boy Who Died!” Ron choked on his drink.
“Why did you bring us here?” Harry asked him coldly holding Hermione's hand.
“If you mean through the veil Probably to kill you. If you mean here as in the table then I think I wanted to celebrate with my friends. It's not every day you die now isn't it. Now that we are here, I think it's time for a family reunion.”
With that Ron took out the stone a suddenly the Weasleys where sitting at the table with them. To there shock even Molly and George where there.
“You really did it then” Harry snarled. “You killed them all. Your own family....”
“I reunited my......no...Our family. Once again we are all sitting at the Burrow's kitchen table together sharing a meal....well know meal.
“Harry....is it really you.....” Ginny whispered from her seat beside Ron.
Ron gave a heart warming smile. “Ah yes it is Ginny and I'm going to give you what you've always wanted. You can sit with Harry and Hermione can sit with me.”
Ginny looked nervously at Harry. This wasn't exactly the reunion she had been dreaming of. Hermione just gripped Harry's hand tighter.....no one moved.
“I know this is awkward with me killing you all and Ginny helping but come on people. Doesn't anybody have something to say” Ron said getting annoyed before grinning when another voice finally spoke up.
“Yes I would like to say congratulations to Harry Potter for defeating Voldemort and his death eaters. Sorry I wasn't around to say that sooner but you know how it is. Fred laughed as he pointed at Ron. “Death's a bitch.”
Ron just glared at him. “Glad to see you have lost none of your humor Fred.”
Fred's face darkened as he continued. “Oh that remind me if you ever get out of here please kill this twat. I mean not for killing my family or anything but for the dumb ass name. Lord Mortem...really?
George laughed “You haven't changed”

“A bit.”

“Well we are”

“really”

“Really”

“REALLY”

“PISSED OFF”

“WITH WON WON”
“Will you two shut up." Ron shouted. "You should be a little more grateful. Ginny was right all along. This place is wonderful. Everyone take a moment to thank Ginny for being a wonderful sister. BUT FIRST....”
Ron stood up from the table and stood behind Ginny, grabbing her head and forcing her to look at Harry. “Apologize to Harry for what you've done.”
Ginny tried to turn away but Ron forced her to look. Ginny looked like she could cry. “I'm sorry for everything. I just wanted to spend eternity with you Harry. I never wanted it to be with this lunatic.”

“NO APOLLIGIZE FOR YOUR CRIME.”
Ginny was crying now as Ron dropped his friendly attitude. “I'm sorry I believed Voldemort. I swore he was Death I..”

“NO THE APOLLIGIZE TO HARRY FOR YOUR FIRST CRIME.”
Ginny was now shaking with tears. “I...I...I'm sorry...for..for I don't know what I'm supposed to say.”
How about sorry for trying to kill yourself,
How about sorry for all the pain you inflicted on us all.
How about sorry for causing more suffering to this family
Then My butchering of them!
“I'm sorry.” Ginny broke down as Harry watched heart broken as his former love bury her face in the table.
“It's not your fault Ginny......It's mine” Harry said as he felt his own tears run down his cheek.
Ron then turned menacing as colour left his face showing hints of Lord Mortem.
“Finally glad to hear you say it. Now Harry apologize to Hermione.”
“What?” Hermione asked enraged. “How dare you after everything you have done. You should Apologize you Foul Murderer. What does Harry have to apologize to me for?”
Ron looked at Harry with dark look. “For lying to you. He has been lying to you for a long time. He tried to tell you but he just couldn't do it.”
Hermione looked at Harry and saw not confusion but pure suffering on his face.
“Hermione my dear I'm Lord Mortem, The Fucking Master of Death, You think I've been wrong, You think I've been lying this whole time, I've said it over and over again but you don't listen, You are blinded by love, too blind to see the truth about your dear Harry. The truth that he is no better then I am.”
“Harry......what's he talking about??” Hermione asked as calmly as she could as Harry started to feel a familiar sensation of falling.
“Hermione....”
Ron got up and held the stone in the air. “You still don't believe me lets take a look.
At Ron's word the scene around them changed and all the other Weasleys where gone except for Ginny.
Harry was frozen as he saw a memory come to life......of Ginny tackling him off the tower.

Harry grabbed onto the ledge and Ginny did too. “Just let go Harry and everything will be fine. We will see are friends are family....We will even see your parents.”
Harry shook his head pulling himself up. He then reached down “Ginny grab my hand.”
“No more pain Harry, No more nightmares, No more guilt. I can't do it alone Harry please come with me.”
“Ginny I swear I will make you happy again just don't let go. I can't follow you in death..not like this. What abut your family Ginny please. I love you.” Harry cried.
An understanding seemed to hit her as she nodded sadly and reached out grabbing Harry's wrist.
“I promise I will never let you go” Harry said pulling her up, Both of them where full of tears hugging. “I'm sorry Harry. It's just so hard.”
“Together we can do anything Ginny you understand that right.” He said as he helped Ginny up.
Ginny nodded with a focus in her eyes. “We can do anything together...”
“I love you Ginny. Lets go home.” Harry said holding her hand preparing to Apparate.
“I love you too” Ginny said throwing her arms around his neck.
Then Harry felt it.......Ginny's wand pressing into his neck. “Together forever Harry” she said with a voice full of love.
“Ginny Please....Don't....” Harry begged as Ginny began to say the words. “Avada..”
Harry pushed her away and started to run. Ginny shot curse at him that missed and Harry turn his wand to her “Expelli...”
Ginny hit him with a viscous curse that knocked him too the floor and sent his wand across the the floor. Harry felt blood trickle down his face as he heard Ginny approaching from behind him, He rolled missing another curse as he crawled towards his wand. Harry never felt more vulnerable in his life. His back exposed while on his hands and knees. His attacker sent another cure at him witch too his luck alone had missed. He felt the next one hit and he flattened onto the floor.
Ginny raised her wand “Avada Kedavra.” Harry rolled to his back grabbing his wand and just dodging the curse before screaming wand in hand..
Hermione didn't hear what Harry had screamed but it stopped Ginny in her tracks.
Ginny took a couple steps back before her wand fell from her hand.
"Don't...leave....me....”
The words barley escaped her lips as she collapsed on the floor.
Hermione realized she had hands over her mouth. She looked over to Harry who had the same face as the one in the vision. The look of complete in utter despair.
“Ginny..” Harry called to the silent limp red head. “Ginny wake up...”
Harry crawled over to Ginny's body and was shaking her now. “PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD NO NO!”
Harry was screaming now but it was no use. Harry struggled to resuscitate her before just bursting into tears hold her limp body. Nothing would wake Ginny up this time.

“STOP IT” Hermione screamed at Ron “Your killing him”
Ron shook his head. “You see now Hermione. You see who you fell in love with. He's no hero, he is not selfless, he should have died before he killed the women he loved. MY SISTER.”
Hermione noticed that Ginny's spirit was crying just as hard as Harry was. Ginny knew she did this to the man she loved. She was the cause of his suffering. She finally realized her what she had done.
Ron then walked over to Harry who was now crying and screaming with the vision Harry. Completely overcome by his guilt and grief.
“You deserve this Harry. Your murderer just like me. You tried to run from this moment. No stone can keep her alive. And nothing can change the fact that you killed her. I hope you spend your eternity here begging for me to put you out of your misery. I promise you Harry, I never will.”
Then they heard a voice from the vision, a voice only Harry was expecting he heard it and looked back up. Ron lifted the stone to change the scene but Ginny pulled him back. “LET ME SEE THIS”
Hermione stood in shock as she saw her appear in the vision.....one other person to know Harry's secret. Luna Lovegood.

“I'm sorry Harry”. He looked up from Ginny''s body to see. Luna running up the steps of the Astronomy tower.
“I got here as quickly as I could You said she was going......to jump.....is she...” Luna's voice was barley a whisper as she took in the scene.
“I killed her” he whimpered to Luna.
Luna slowly approached him “She tried to kill you didn't she...."
“I didn't have to kill her” Harry cried “I panicked I used the first spell that came to my head.”
“I killed her........I killed Ginny....I killed my Ginny. I LOVED HER AND I KILLED HER OH MY GOD I KILLED MY GIRL OH MY GOD!”
Harry's screaming rang through the castles as he hugged her body close to him. He then stood up with her body in his arms and walked to the edge of the tower.
“What are you doing” Luna asked nervously.
“I can't abandon her, I promised I'd never let her go, that I'd never leave her. I'm going to join her.” he said with conviction.
Luna eyes widened as Harry walked over the ledge. Luna ran and grabbed his wrist as Harry held Ginny's, He refused to let go as there body's dangled over the edge of the tower.
“Let her go Harry” Luna was yelling at Harry
“I can't” Harry moaned “I'm never letting go.”
“IF YOU DIE THATS EXCATLY WHAT YOUR DOING” Luna screamed
Harry looked up in shock at Luna. Harry closed his eyes tightly and let go of Ginny's body which fell too the earth.
Luna pulled Harry up and held him. “Never do that again”
“Why not” Harry cried. “I killed her Luna. We where supposed to protect her from herself and instead.....I can't live without her, I have nothing to live for.”
Luna sat there in deep thought before she spoke. “I lost my mother when I was a kid Harry. I was with her working on an experiment when the room exploded. I was bruised and bleeding but my mother was dying.”
Luna continued. “I told her the same thing. That I couldn't make it without her and that I had nothing to live for. And even though she had almost no energy left, she grabbed me by the shirt, pulled me closer and told me “That I wasn't looking hard enough.”
“I have learned that happiness isn't about finding something to live for, or something to die for. It's about find finding someone to live and die for. Someone who would do the same for you. Never give up hope because there will always be someone out there who can one day make you feel happiness again. No matter how bleak things seam where there's life, there is always hope.”
Harry was still shaking when Luna forced him to look in her eyes. “Always choose LIFE OVER DEATH, I'm not saying that you should always choose to live. One day you might have to make that sacrifice. But always choose Life even if it's not your own, If you live for Life you will die happy and that is all anyone can ask for. You die now you will die miserable and you don't deserve that. You chose life today Harry. You eel sad I understand but please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.”
“Harry you will find something to live for if you just hang on.” Harry nodded and hugged her crying.....

The scene faded to black and Ron was laughing, Actually laughing. “Loony Love good's nonsensical ramblings for you”
“Harry”Ginny whispered. “I'm sorry... for everything.”
Harry nodded and hugged her while Ron just laughed in his own world. “I'm sorry Ginny.”
He then looked at Hermione and kissed her “I'm sorry Hermione. I love you.” Harry's face was no longer of grief but of determination as Luna's words rang in his ears. He hadn't truly heard her that night but this time he heard every word.
Harry then lunged at Ron knocking him to the ground and started beating him mercilessly. “YOU HAVE NO SOUL YOU FUCKING MONSTER. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.”
Ron knocked Harry off him and sent him blasted him too the ground.
Ron returned to his feet with an twisted look on his face.”I know dam well what it's like Potter. I have sacrificed everything in order to become Lord Mortem. I was suppose to be free from pain, guilt and despair but I still see the faces in my head and in my dreams. I see the people I killed.....”
Ron suddenly looked human for the first time since he had become the Master of Death. “I killed a boy during the war....I killed a boy by mistake...And you wanted me to stop drinking.”
Hermione looked at him and almost felt pity for him. She did in fact feel pity but it was for the man she once loved, not the creature that stood before her.
Hermione remembered what Luna had once said. “Make a beast out of your self gets rid of the pain of being a man. t didn't work did it.”
Ron stared at her. “Not when your alone. With you back by my side I will be I will be free. I will have the world under my thumb. I will rule them all, not just wizards but muggles too.
“Like your parents.”
Hermione stepped back as Ron approached with a sick smile. “Your memory charm was too powerful. They don't even know who you are. I can change that Hermione. I can bring them back to you.
Her shaky breath came out in a whisper. “I hate you.”
“In time” Ron said reaching out to her. “You will learn to love me as I love you.”
Harry stepped in between them facing down his friend a mere inches away.
“You don't love her.” Harry seethed, starring daggers into Ron's damaged soul.
“You don't hurt the ones you love and walk away unscathed, I know better then anyone. Until Hermione came back into my life I was dead inside. Not you though You just thought about getting her back for yourself. You murdered your family, You tortured your friends, You've hurt the women you say you love more times then I care to count. You don't know how to love.”
Ron smirked “Let me guess, you do because that's the secret to everything isn't it. LOVE. You hung around that old fart for too long."
“Yes Ron I do love. I love her more then life itself and that is why you can never touch or hurt her again. Because I can do something that you can't.”
Ron snorted. “I can do anything and everything! I am immortal! I am GOD! What could you possibly do that I can not!”
Harry just smiled raising his hand to reveal what was in his hand. Ron starred in shock. Harry had used his earlier outburst to steal back the stone. Then Harry answered him.

Die
Harry lifted the stone and sent Ron flying through the air with a burst of force.
Harry Potter had once held all 3 Deathly Hallows and now he finally realized it's true power. He may not have had the power Ron had but he now had the stone and with it he did the unthinkable.

I SUMMOM DEATH TO RESURESCT

HERMIONE GRANGER .

IN RETURN I SACRIFICE MY SOUL

Hermione screamed in horror as Ron laughed. “Relax Hermione there is no Death.”
At this the room turned to darkness and an unimaginable cold came over them. Ron could make out a black figure approaching Harry. The Figure even darker the the blinding Darkness that covered them. Harry yelled another command to the being.

After you have my soul

Destroy the stone once and for all.
Ron began to panic and raised the Elder wand at the being. “No I order you to give me the stone.”

NO
The voice was more chilling then a thousand Dementors. What Ron had believed was Death at Stonehenge was nothing but a shallow imitation of the being itself,
Ron tried to scream out in anger but his voice sounded of terror. “NO? I COMMAND YOU AS LORD MORTEM, THE MASTER OF DEATH!!!”

DEATH HAS NO MASTER
The Being pointed at Ron who suddenly felt very weak and collapsed unconscious.
“HARRY DON'T” Hermione screamed as Harry began to approach the shadow in the dark.
Harry paused and turned looking at her with sadness. “I'm sorry Hermione. I love you too much.”
The darkness started to pull Hermione and Ron away as Harry felt the blackness take him. “Life over Death” Harry said remembering Luna's words as he took Deaths hand. Harry soon began to glow as his light was slowly being absorbed by the darkness. Hermione's screams where soon becoming fainter and fainter
“No Harry what about our daughter what about her......”
If Harry had heard he wouldn't have understood. If Ron had heard he might have known but not have cared. Ginny did hear however and she new what Hermione was speaking of. Remembering what Hermione said she saw in the Mirror of Erised. It was a future she would never see...and Ginny new it was HER FAULT.

In that moment Ginny knew what she had to do.
Harry felt something hit him as he fell to the ground. He felt someone take the stone from him. He looked up to see Ginny holding the stone as Death turned on her without hesitation.
“GINNY NO!” Harry screamed but Ginny shook her head as she started to glow the way Harry had.
Ginny cried to Harry.“I'm sorry I caused you so much pain Harry. I love you. Please go to Hermione and live your life. SET THEM FREE.”
Before Harry could do anything he felt the darkness pull him away as it began to consume Ginny's light . Soon he was miles away from them as Ginny's light grew dimmer and dimmer. Harry screamed out to her with tears in his eyes as he heard Ginny scream her final words.

LIFE OVER DEATH

The light in the distance began to flicker

Then it was gone

Nothing but Darkness remained

Numbness

Emptiness

Nothing

AIR!
