The Potter Games

Chapter 2

"Wesley! You're dead!" Draco yells up. The other guy starts climbing up the tree and Draco pulls out a bow and some arrows. He starts shooting at Ginny. She jumps down and starts running. They chase her but then they stop.

"POTTER!" Draco screams. Ginny turns, shocked. Harry is there, fighting off Draco. Ginny watches for a few minutes. Draco leaves, running. Harry turns to face Ginny. His lip is bleeding.

"Harry!" Ginny says, upset.

"What? I'm helping you!"

"I don't need help!"

"Ginny... Please, just join us."

"No! Harry, I'm not joining you guys."

"Ginny.... Please.."

"Harry, I'm not joining you guys."

Harry reaches for Ginny's hand but she pulls away. Ginny starts tearing up. "I'm sorry, Harry. I-its better I don't join.."

The butterflies in her stomach start dancing, saying, 'You're lying! You're lying'

Harry nods sadly. "A-alright." he turns and walks away slowly and sadly.

Ginny is sitting on a branch of a tree when some music starts playing.

Four faces Ginny doesn't know, Crabs and... Fred's! Fred... Fred died. Ginny looks away and sobs. Quietly though. She can hear sobs, loud sobs and a voice trying to quiet the sober. Ron, Ginny thinks, or George. Ginny sits quietly waiting for the night to end.... The night has monsters, scary monsters.

"Ginny?" a voice below Ginny whispers. She looked down to see a red eyed George.

"George..." Ginny whispers. George climbs up and sits beside Ginny.

"Fred died trying to save me, yeah know," George says while looking at the sky, "Just as the sun was setting. He told me to run. He'd see me again, he said. He said he'd see all of us again. Mom, dad, Ron and you."

George looks at Ginny. "He kinda promised.."

"Maybe he promised about the after life." Ginny says, trying to raise George's sprits.

"Do yeah thing? Do yeah thing he knew he was about to die?" George asks her.

Ginny sighs and shakes her head. "No, I don't. I thought I'd be dead by now and look, I'm alive."

George looks at Ginny and half smiles. "Thats you, always being 'happy'."

Ginny smiles. "Yeah thats me, always being happy."

George laughs. "I'll take first watch... Wait, can I stay with you..?"

Ginny bites her lip. Why let George stay when she didn't let the others stay? "Just for the night," Ginny says, "I'm to tird to think right."

George nods "Alright. Goodnight, sissy."

With that, Ginny closes her eyes.

Ginny awakes to people yelling. George and... Ron?! Ginny looks down to see Ron, Hermione and Harry yelling at George. Well, more Ron than the other two.

"Whats happening..?" Ginny asks, half asleep.

"This!" Ron points at George, "You let him stay but not us?!"

George rolls his eyes at Ron. "Whats the point, Ron? Ginny is old enough to make her choices!"

"Really?! Is that so?!"

"Yes, it is." Harry whispers.

Ron looks at him. "We are talking about Ginny, not you."

Harry looks at Ron. "I know. Ron, she isn't two. She isn't five. She isn't ten. She's 16, she can make her own choices."

Ginny jumps down from the tree. "Thanks?"

Harry half nods, looking at Ginny dreamy.

Ron takes Ginny's shoulders. "Cone with us, we'll protect you better."

"What?! I can't protect her?!" George had jumped down from the tree and looks at Ron, frowning.

"No, you can't. Fred already died. I don't want Ginny to die."

"Ron!" Ginny yells, mad at her brother, "Fred died protecting George. There is no point in trying. I-I'm going with George."

George smiles at Ron. Harry looks at Ginny almost saying 'I trust you'.

Ron picks up Ginny and puts her over his shoulder. Ginny is in to much shock.

"Lets go." Ron says to Harry and Hermione.

"Ron! You can't just take her!" Harry says, mad.

"Well I-"

"Ron. Just. Put. Her. Down." George says in his big brother voice.

"Make me." Ron says back.

Ron turns his back with Harry, Hermione and George watching him and started walking away when...

"RON!" Ginny screams. To late. The arrow is already in his back. Ron falls. BOOM. Cannon. Ron is dead.

"Ron!" the three say at once.

Ron moans.

"R-Ron..?" Ginny says.

"G-get off.." he mumbles. Ginny rolls off him. Hermione sits by him and pulls out a wand.

"Hermione-"

"Sh!" she cuts Ginny off.

Harry and George pull Ginny away from Ron.

"Harry, go find some stuff for camp. I'll go get the tent." George says, walking away.

Ginny looks at Harry and her stomach flips. He looks perfect even if his lip is bleeding.

They walk quietly, not wanting to talk.

"Harry," Ginny says, finally breaking the silence, "Why did you-"

"Because, Ginny. Does there have to be a reason?" Harry keeps his eyes on the ground.

"But-"

"Ginny," Harry looks at her, his green eyes looking over her face, "I wanted to."

"But-"

"Ginny, no more buts. Its let someone help you, and let them, or not."

"Harry-"

"Ginny, just stop. I trust you."

With that, Harry walks away.
