Fire and Ice

Lightning Bolts

Unable to hide her scream, Ginny fell to the ground as Draco's wand connected to Voldemort's through a bolt of lightning, causing an deafening crack through the hall. However, Ginny wasn't the only shelter-seeker; most of the audience had crumbled to the ground in fear of being struck by sparks of the flying curses.

Retching with dry sobs, Ginny began crawling on her hands and knees towards Harry's limp body on the side of the stadium. Luckily, Voldemort was too engrossed in the duel to notice her shaky movements.

"Ginny, stop!" Parvati gasped as she watched her best friend crawl into Hell.

"Help the professors," Ginny stuttered back without turing around. Nodding fearfully, Parvati pointed her wand towards each of the Death Eaters fighting professors, jabbing them with distracting curses to allow the professors to triumph.

Suddenly, another echoing crack stumbled around the hall, bashing walls and smashing glass. Voldemort's shocked face grew alight under the lighting illuminating from Draco's steady wand.

"What is this!?" He bellowed, slashing his wand through the air. Serpents flew from his wand at Draco. Hissing menacingly, Voldemort used parseltongue to guide them towards the Death Eater's son.

Watching this, Ginny frantically took her wand out and began to renervate Harry. Suddenly, words and sounds flew out of her mouth without stopping, and her arms began to hover above Harry's body. Her entire being glowed with lights, the exact shade of Draco's. Both were supernovas in the Great Hall, illuminating the stadium as they both discovered their powers.

Concentrating fiercly on the fight, Draco failed to notice the serpents at his feet, ready to choke and bite. Just as the first snake was about to launch, Harry's emerald eyes fluttered open.

"Gin-" he began to murmur.

"Harry, say 'stay away from him' in parseltongue. Now!" Ginny quickly interrupted.

"What's happen-"

"Harry, just do it!"

Closing his eyes, Harry began hissing while trying to sit upright. As soon as the snakes began to drift away from Draco and dissapear, Ginny allowed herself to sag on the floor, exhausted from her healing efforts.

"Ginny!" Draco yelled suddenly, jerking her awake.

Ginny's mind suddenly cleared as she observed Draco through tunnel vision. More Death Eaters have been summoned and were also fighting him. Beads of sweat collected at his temples as his body sparked alight.

"Heal him!" Draco bellowed.

Ginny looked at Harry. Harry was healed. Harry would live.

Ginny looked at Draco. Draco was hurting.

He needs me.

Without thinking, Ginny stood and ran straight into the flashing duel.
