The Potter Games

Chapter 9

BOOM. Cannon.

"Ron!" Ginny screams.

Ginny runs to the cliff but Harry pulls her back.

"Ginny... Its alright. Its alright."

Harry wraps Ginny in a hug and Ginny cries on his shoulder. Ginny is the only Weasley kid left.

Harry finally calms Ginny down.

They walks back to the tent quietly but ya know, nothing ever works right.

A snake sound fills the air.

"Harry, what was that..?" Hermione asks.

Ginny feels panicky. The last time she heard that was...

"B-basilisk." Ginny whispers.

Ginny starts breathing heavy. She doesn't want to die. Not like this. Ginny, AGAIN, passesout.

Harry's POV. ((sorry I had to. Ginny fainted and there is important stuff that will happen with the basilisk..))

Harry grabs Ginny before she hits the ground. He can't believe Ginny passed out, again.

"Ginny!" Harry mumbles.

"Uh, Harry," Hermione says, sounding worried, "W-we have bigger issues..."

Harry looks at where Hermione was looking. The back of a basilisk. It starts to turn.

"Look away!" Harry yells. They both look away. The basilisk starts coming towards them.

"Harry..." Hermione whispers.

"Its ok, just don't look at its eyes." Harry whispers. BAM. The basilisks tail hits them and Harry and Ginny are sent backwards. The basilisk starts moving towards Hermione.

"Harry..." Hermione mutters, loud enough for Harry to hear. Harry, after putting Ginny somewhere safe, gets up. He watches its back. Hermione pulls out her wand but the basilisk is faster. It wraps its tail around her. Hermione drops the wand. Harry stumbles towards Hermione but... She stops moving. The basilisk drops her and turns to look at Harry. He quickly closes his eyes. The basilisk slips away. Harry takes a closer look at Hermione. She was stone. She looked into the basilisks eyes.

Harry turns his head and hears a cannon. Ginny's starting to whimper. Harry picks her up and saw what the basilisk had done. The cut in her arm's open again and the cut in her stomach was going to if he wasn't careful. Harry wishes that the games were over.

Harry sets Ginny down in the tent and re-wraps her arm. She's going pale. Harry sits outside the tent praying to Sirius, somehow he's alive, for help. Minutes later, a silver tin came down. Harry smiles.

"Thank you."

He opens the tin, to see cream, and a note falls out.

It reads:

I've seen what you've done with my daughter, Potter. If she comes out alive, I'll be ok with it. Use this to keep her alive.

Mr. Weasley.

Harry grins and stumbles inside the tent. Ginny's paler then before. Harry un-wraps her arm, putting the cream on her cut ((sounds a little weird, hm? Or am I the only one who thinks so..?)). It starts to close. Harry puts the tin away and lays down beside Ginny. Harry watches her, wrapping his arms around her, he falls asleep.

Harry feels Ginny move. His eyes flutter open.

"Harry?" Ginny asks.

"Yes, Ginny. I'm here." Harry answers.

Ginny half smiles and throws her arms around him. Harry hugs her back and plays with her hair.

"Attention the four remanning people! Good job on staying alive! We are now going to have some things you dearly need at where you started this game. It is called a feast. Please come. Thank you, the dark lord."

Ginny looks at Harry. "What do we need..?"

Harry shakes his head, confused. "No idea."

Ginny sighs. "Then lets not go."

"But.." Harry bit his lip, "Maybe we do need it."

Ginny sighs. "But, Harry, they're just trying to get us together."

"I know but..."

Ginny looks at him.

"Ginny, I have no idea what to do."

"I trust you. You'll figure it out. Anyway, where's Hermione?"

Harry looks away.

Ginny got the message. "Oh..."

Harry takes Ginny's hands. "We are going to the feast."
