Ginny's Determination[open to Harry & hermione]

[ginny]

It was Saturday morning and Ginny found herself sneaking out of the common room at six am, she was dressed in her jeans and a T shirt seeing as it was the weekend she had a backpack on her back and looked around, she wanted to have some time to herself, to get some dueling practice, but she didn’t want to use up the room of requirements just in case someone with need truly needed it., to improve on her dueling skills she didn’t want harry to shoulder the burden on himself, he may have been the chosen one whether he admitted it or not, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t be there to make things easier for him if possible. Sneaking out with her wand in her hand she walked down the stairs Well its morning so I don’t have to worry about prefects.[/I] She thought to herself as she reached the hallway and stepped outside. Ginny the young teenager was completely unaware of the fact she was being followed by a slytheren student in her year.

Ginny was by the lake and she yawned quietly she faced the lake leaving her back vulnerable “Accio BroomShe spoke raising her wand into the air, she was trying to call forth her brother’s broom. It wouldn’t take long for the broom to arrive, the first thing Ginny wanted to do was try Arial dueling, to her surprise she heard the incantation “Flipendo” and with a powerful smack to her back she felt the curse smack her hard and send her flying into the black lake. Ginny had hit the icy cold water hard and she resurfaced she could see someone at the shore wearing a green scarf she was about to aim her wand and launch a bat boggie hex at the jerk when she felt herself get tugged underwater she let out a scream before being submerged.

As she sank to the bottom of the lake she looked and saw the Grindylow wrap itself around her legs, one came towards her neck, but the teenager aimed her wand and spoke out “Aqua Eructo” she spoke with bubbles coming out of her mouth, out of her wand a jet of clear water shot out and knocked the creature away, Ginny looked around more of the creatures were coming from below the young redhead looked up and saw her broom hovering above the air. Ginny closed her eyes what do I do…I have these things all around my legs…I can’t kick and if anymore come…im gonna drown…I can’t give up, I do not intend on dying here…that does it now I am steamed[/i] She opened her eyes and aimed her wand at the creatures coming at her from below “Protego Munio” She yelled with bubbles coming out of her mouth, a see through wall came out from under her protecting Ginny, the protego Munio was a useful little invention that meant Shield wall, Ginny was good at her own brand of magic, the last time she created a spell it turned into her famous bat boogie hex, her first victims were the twins. The creatures seemed to regroup and ginny watched them determined.

meanwhile above the lake everything seemed calm, the water perfectly still, moments later a tide started to sway as if something major was going on underwater the slytherin girl watched eagerly hoping Ginny would drown, she was jealous of the pure blood’s beauty. Under water Ginny pointed her wand to the air “Asendio” she struggled to speak. Ginny was instantly propelled into the air and as she resurfaced she gasped for air, the grendylos had let go of her legs because they couldn’t breathe out of water and with her free hand she reached for her broom in mid air and caught it, she held on for her very life panting as she dangled from her broom she saw her attacker “Let’s see how you fair when the person your attacking knows your there Bombarda Maxima” she yelled and pointed her wand not to her attacker, but a few inches at his feet. A few moments later a massive explosion hit the ground near the attacker and the force of the explosion knocked her attacker to the ground “oh I am far from done, you have seriously ticked me off she yelled out as she dangled from one arm on her broom her fist clenched the broom tight, she was too stubborn to even think about letting go she pointed her wand at her attacker and smiled mischiviously “Calvorio” Ginny yelled and the curse hit her attacker she swayed her body and climbed onto her broom and panted she flew towards her attacker and could see her attacker’s hair start to fall out. Ginny could see her attacker get up and start to flee, while ginny went towards the surface where she was and she fell off her broom as she was near the ground and hit the ground with a thud Ginny continued to pant, everything had gotten dark as she passed out.[/size]


ooc
i was listening to this during the whole ginny from the point of ginny casting the shield wall spell a nice fight song for ginny lol

Ginny's fight song

[Harry James Potter]

Harry had woken up this morning, in quite a good mood, better than he usually was, still brooding over Sirius at some points in time, but he was better. He had woken up before Ron (who would have guess?) and dressed in a light blue T-shirt, and a nice dark pair of blue jeans. He didn't wear it often, since it was Dudley's before, though he shrunk it to fit him well. He hated not having nice new clothes. Maybe next summer he would stop by a wizard's clothes shop and get him a new closet of clothes. He might not get the chance either way, since Voldemort could take over.

Harry hurriedly went down to the Great Hall, though he didn't know why. He really wasn't hungry. Harry sighed looking through the double doors, and slowly headed outside. He had just crossed the bridge when he saw a person in the sky. Could it be...? No, probably not, but then he saw the figure fall in the lake in the distance. Harry cursed to himself and began jogging towards the figure, and when it didn't come up within a few seconds, he began to sprint as fast as he could, then sighing in relief as he ran as the person flew up out of the lake. That was when he recognized her. It WAS Ginny, as he thought a little while ago when he had seen her in the sky. Harry was still sprinting, but upon realizing it was Ginny he ran even faster, pushing himself forward.

The lake was a good amount of distance away. He saw another person passing him. Harry drew his wand, stunning the running person, having an instinct they had attacked Ginny in someway, after all, she was loosing her hair, something Ginny was slightly known for, though the Bat Boogey Hex was her specialty. Harry kept sprinting towards Ginny, fallen on the ground. She looked almost like she did four years ago, cold, unconcious, but older.

Harry kneeled next to her, laying his wand on the ground, and felt her hand. It was still warm, thankfully. Harry's mind ran through spell on how to revive her. "Episky," Harry casted, healing her bones if they had been broken, just in case, if she didn't break anything, then it would have no effect. He didn't know how to wake her up. Harry picked up his wand, stowing it in his back pocket.

"Ginny, don't die, please... Wake up, Ginny. Ginny!" Harry stammered hoping she would wake up, but he doubted it would work. Harry looked at her face, so beautiful... so perfect. He didn't want her to die, or be hurt in any way. Harry frantically looked around, scared if he picked her up she could get hurt even more. He didn't want to leave her here alone either.

"Help!" Harry yelled, but he doubted no one heard, since his voice cracked terribly and he had lost some volume in his worriedness about her. Harry held one of her hands with both of his hands, tightly, but not too tightly. Harry finally sighed, and gingerly picked her up, with her head in one arm and her legs in the other. Harry started to breathe heavily, and began running towards the castle, headed towards the Hospital Wing.

[ginny]

Ginny remained unconscious from the collision, she snapped back from it when she felt her bones mend the pain was sharp, but short she had heard the incantation episky, the voice was familiar, the voice of someone she loved with all her heart it was the voice of harry james potter the chosen one, someone in the previous year risked her life for joining him in the battle at the ministry of magic department of mystery. Moments later she heard harry stammer alarmed, it was strange that she heard him, but then she had a good idea that she would continue to appear that she was passed out so harry could give her CPR.

She waited impatiently, and freezing from the cold and being soaked, but nothing happened harry had lifted her up and she resisted the urge to scowl in disappointment. She heard him breathe in and he started to carry her opening her eyes she looked at harry “Harry…..stop, im ok really” she spoke looking up at him, harry potter was so perfect, she always thought he was irresistible even before the chosen one rumors, ever since those stupid rumors all the girls are after him now. She hated those girls instantly not only were they her rivals, but they were shallow loving him on a whim, where were those girls when they thought he was mentally disturbed by rita skita’s sloppy journalism and the ministry slandering him, they were gossiping about him, but now he is a destined savior they were after him. Honestly it had taken a lot for ginny not to hex the gold digging skanks.

Ginny watched harry and moved her hand onto his chest, she smiled harry carrying her was a nice sensation too. she could only wish that he saw her in the way she saw him, but she honestly loved harry so much that it hurt. Ginny would die for harry a thousand times over and she would take all his pain in his place to shelter him from it if she could.she thought tried to remember the last moments before crashing onto the ground and falling off her broom, she remembered she was attacked, she had no idea harry had already stunned him “Harry…stop…put me down, you don’t understand, someone’s out there…I mean the person that attacked me could still be around” she spoke trying to get down

[Harry James Potter]

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped in mid-step, and was out of breathe anyways. He looked at her and smiled, though he wondered what in the world she had done to pass out and who caused it. He remembered as he ran he had stunned someone. Well it made him feel pretty bad about what he did, if that person wasn't in anyway involved. But it was completely instinctual and didn't even think about it. At least Ginny was ok, Harry sighed again, letting her down out of his arms. He didn't want his best friend's sister, which he had feelings for, to get hurt, or die, or anything like that. It would be heart breaking to him.

"Ginny? What happened?" Harry asked quickly in response. If he found out who was responsible, well he would not be happy, and probably go after them and hunt them down, just like he was determined to do with Bellatrix, the killer of his father-figure Sirius Black. Harry would swear if she hurt anyone more, he might become a killer and go after her to get his revenge.

"Who? Where?" Harry asked pulling out his wand after he had set her down. It became harder and harder to not realize that he really had liked her a lot, not the same way she saw him most likely, but some of the way to her way. Harry hadn't really noticed it before, because he was distracted by Cho last year, that he had these feelings, not too strong, but he necer saw them and they were growing. He was highly protective over Ginny, and others, but more so her than everyone else. He might even say he would die for her, but that wasn't much seeing as he would die for most of his friends, but still it was there.

[ginny]

Ginny had smiled as harry looked at her, looking into those beautiful eyes of his many people have often told harry that he had his mother’s eyes. Ginny found that impossible to believe surely these eyes were unique and beautiful completely out of this world. Harry put ginny down and she smiled sheepishly looking down she felt embarrassed harry had asked her what had happened, she thought about it for a moment recalling everything, the sensation of the grindylows pulling her down, she looked up into her eyes and smiled she didn’t want harry to stress out chances were he would develop an ulcer from all the stress he had going on.

She didn’t know what to do, she could have lied to harry and tell him it was nothing, or she could tell him the truth, ginny never wanted to lie to harry she stepped in close to him and bit her bottom lip she knew she didn’t have a choice he would obviously figure it out, she was soaking wet and he found her unconscious with the big crater scars in the ground from her bombada maxima explosion. She watched harry and could see he was stressing. Putting one hand on his neck she caressed it softly trying to calm him, she smiled “I decided to come out here and practice my defensive spells…when someone struck me with flipendo in the back and knock me into the middle of the black lake…before I could swim to shore the grindylows dragged me under…I managed to get free by using a combo of acio to summon my broom and Asendio to get out of the water I managed to dangle off my broom and I managed to knock my attacker off their feet…and then I cursed them then…” Ginny thought about it and struggled to remember it “they ran and I managed to climb my broom and get towards land…I must have passed out” she spoke sounding casual so harry wouldn’t worry.

Ginny looked at him carefully, she smiled and looked into those eyes “ let’s change the subject…what are you up to harry…your never out of bed early unless your up to no good”She spoke to him trying to get him to forget about the attacker, if she was lucky it would work after all how often did she get a chance to hang out with harry potter on his own ususally he would be with hermionie and her annoying older brother ron and the trio would always be up to no good. this could be a bonus for her, maybe he would confide in her and she could so despretely be able to be in on everything and join him on his adventures doing everything in her power to help him and protect him

[Harry James Potter]

The way she was looking at him, was just... wow. She seemed quite happy to see him, and well he could tell that, though she wasn't running from him like when he first met her in his second year, she looked at him with admiration. Of course he was used to this look from her... and a lot of the other girls, namely Romilda Vane. Harry could barely realize that she still really liked him in that way, though from the look he could tell something like that. It was kind of nice, since she was probably the only girl who did that to him that he actually liked, even remotely. Harry barely even knew girls like Romilda.

"What? I'll.. When I get my hands on them... Wait, I did stun this person as I ran, I don't know why... though they are probably gone now if their friends were around just in case..." Harry said fuming almost to where one might think his head would pop off. Harry was breathing heavily mostly from the running he had done, but he took a deep breathe and tried to focus once more, and to calm himself. He had been on edge lately, less than last year since Voldemort was influencing him last year, but since the raid at the ministry he had been on edge, but he was getting better at controlling himself. Who dared hurt one of his friends? Probably a transfer, not knowing better, or a stupid Slytherin... Either way he wasn't a happy camper and would probably hurt them if he saw them, though he didn't remember the face so the possibility was slim.

"What was I doing?" Harry replied, calming even more down, though he was about to insist her to go to the Hospital Wing. What was he doing? In fact he was looking for her, hoping that he wouldn't end up like fourth year with a last stitch effort date. "It's not that important, I guess. I was just looking for a date for the Yule Ball this year, and my thoughts turned to you, you know as a date for him and all, if you aren't taken or something. It's fine if you're going with Neville like before, but I was just wondering, you know, since I don't have any others, and Hermione wants to go with Ron and all... " Why was he so nervous? He sounded like a complete and utter idiot, half of his words were meshed together to almost sounds like one word he was speaking so fast. He probably was like this a lot of the time about asking someone to go somewhere with him, like a date, or a dance in this case. "As friends, of course," Harry quickly added.

[ginny]

Ginny had looked at harry listening to his breathing, it was deep in shallow breathes harry was fuming mad he threatened the one who attacked her, although it looked like harry was protective of her she knew otherwise, the truth was that harry was just a good guy, that he was protective of all his friends. harry was just wired that way he had a heart of gold he was so loving and he put others ahead of himself which is why she would always get annoyed at ron with all his jealousy and childish behavior moving her hand from harrys neck to his cheek she began to stroke it “it’s ok harry…don’t worry about it, it’s not important the snake lovers will get whats coming to them beside you get yourself into enough trouble without the need to start vandetta’s on slimy slytherin” she spoke softly.

Touching Harry’s skin felt nice it was so soft, she lowered her hand and listened as he finally let on the reason why he was out of bed so early, she couldn’t believe it harry was asking her to the Yule Ball, she started to smile for a moment and looked down sheepishly, truth as she was on a dating hiatus, she was in love harry and harry alone, dating anyone else was just too hard and unfair on the other, she looked at harry “I must have hit my head when I fell…did you just ask me to the yule ball” she spoke in awe. She smiled sheepishly, the way he spoke was adorable how he seemed to utter some words and mash other words together he was babbling, she smiled it was more than a little adorable, she did her best to kept her cool especially when he mentioned as friends part.

She looked into his beautiful eyes “Hmm sooo your asking me to the yule ball…Ill have to think about it harry” she spoke to tease him, a split second later “after careful consideration I decided I will accept your offer of being taken to the yule ball…as friends” She reluctantly added the last part, but if it was what harry wanted what could she do, it’s not like she could rape the boy who lived…..or could she? it was a crazy thought true, but she knew she didnt have to go to extremes like that, what she would do however would make herself look as stunning as possible and ask hermionie for help, she would make herself so beautiful that harry would finally love her, she was determined to be with harry potter the boy who saved her life not once, but twice.

[Harry James Potter]

Harry was quite angry, but he was cooling down after the surprise of what had happened to Ginny. He was extremely protective over everyone he considered a friend, and Ginny was no exception. Harry even chuckled at her comment about a vendetta against Slytherin. "I'm pretty sure a vendetta is going on already between me and them," Harry replied. Most Slytherins teased, and taunted him, espcially Draco Malfoy, so he was used to the feeling of the Slytherins being out for him. He was Capulet and Malfoy was Montague, though Harry was simply defending himself from the Montague ran of terror.

"Y-yeah, I did, since you know I don't have any date yet or something. You know with Cho being as she was last year, I haven't really quite got someone else to ask, yeah," Harry explained with his reasoning. Cho was far from his mind. She said it was ok for her friend to tell them and didn't hate Marietta for it. That really got to him. She was still friends with a darned traitor to them. Harry didn't stand by traitors and when Cho said it wasn't that big of a deal he didn't really care for her anymore, though feelings lingered on. He really didn't want to think about Cho anymore, but yet as he said it, he thought he could sound rude, since it seemed like Ginny was a secondary choice, which she wasn't. He just wanted to go with someone he already was friends with, so he didn't worry about it later and Ginny came to mind first.

"Thanks Ginny," Harry said with a huge smile growing on his face, happy he wouldn't be some afterthought Yule Ball goer. At first he thought that Ginny might have been still dating another boy, but it confirmed that she wasn't, though she still could be since they were going as just friends of course. Harry didn't really notice the growing feelings quite yet too much, but when they grew too much larger it would be a slap in the face to him with a sudden epiphanic slam. But as for right now he was just plain ol' Harry Potter asking a friend to a dance, not yet in love with anyone, but still happy.
