Neville's POV

How could I kill Harry Potter? I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but he knows I won't hurt him.  I can't sleep because of the reoccurring nightmares.  I'm sitting in the corner shaking, glancing over at Harry and Ginny. I decide that I can't stay here, and quickly write a note. I jog, still shaking, towards a tall tree. I climb it, and perch on the stop, still able to see where Harry and Ginny are still fast asleep,

Ginny's POV

I wake up, because I hear a lot of branches snapping. I shake Harry awake, and he automatically starts getting protective.  I walk over to wake up Neville, but I realize, that in his place is a note.  I read it, silent tears marking my cheeks.

Dear Harry and Ginny,
      I'm sorry for not waking you. I am scared. Not of you, but of what they'll make us do to each other. I hope that you will both forgive me.
                                               Neville

"It'll be fine," Harry whispers. "We'll all be fine." I let my tears stream down his stained t-shirt. He wrapped his arms around me, pull me closer to him. He puts his finger under my chin and and lifts it up, so my eyes are level with his. He brushes his lips against mine. I smile, happy for the first time in a month. Suddenly, we are interrupted.

"Well hello lovebirds," a voice squeaks from the door. Before she finishes her sentence, Harry and I are on our feet, our wands in one hand, and holding hands with the other. We quickly identify the girl as Pansy Parkinson, and see Draco Malfoy by her side.

"First Ron and now them, father will be so proud," Draco announced proudly.

"Stup-" I start, but am immediately interrupted by, Pansy.

"Avada Kedavra!" She yelled. My feet glued to the ground. I was shaking, until, a flash of black hair jumped in front of me. I looked  at the back of Harry's head, and saw him immediately fall to the ground.

"No!" I said shaking uncontrollably. My knees buckled, I fell to the ground, and buried my head in my hands. My heart beat increasing, I looked toward Pansy and Draco, anger taking over. I point my wand," S-S-stupefy," My hand is shaking so much, that the smell hits the wall. Draco, and Pansy both have their wands directed at me, when Neville walks in, and stuns both of them. He wraps his arm around my shoulder, and helps me up, we walk outside, and see our families waiting for us.
