Souls Forever

Chapter 8- Hinny's Test

 Ginny POV

McGonogall apparated us to this wierd place which I have never seen before. I felt sick when we touched the ground, I will never get used to this. It seemed the moment McGonogall came, she immediately left. Me and Harry held hands, and started walking. Then as we were taking a second step he stopped me and looked at me. Gosh his vibrant green eyes. 
"Gin I promise to stay by your side, this whole journey." He says. I chuckle and let him know that it's ok and I can protect myself only to receive the answer of I know. 
We continue walking for what seems a very long time until we are met by a werewolf. I look at Harry in search of what tactic we should use, but he just stood there with something in his eyes I couldn't quite place. Was it guilt, happiness, sadness or perhaps a mixture of all three. 
"Gin I -I c-can't d-defeat i-it." He stutters. 
I was about to ask him why when I remember Lupin! Of course! How could have I been so stupid! 
"Well we don't have to defeat it do we, we could just give it something it hates or a distraction." I manage to say while chocking back tears.
"Gin, I can't do that." Harry says.
I reassure him and see a large piece of rock a few paces behind me, I turn around and use my transfiguration skills to transfigure it into a piece of raw meat. I was about to accio it when i heard a scream. 
"HARRY!" I see him lying on the floor, with a long scratch on his back.
"Gin I'm fine," He says.
"NO you're bloody well not fine." I gasp, "What in the world even happened to you?" 
"I was trying to run away from it, you know I won't be able to harm it." he says between breaths.
"I know harry just wait." I say aguementi and the water squirts right onto his back.
"I don't have - AHH,"...

Harry's POV:

"I don't have - AHH," Ginny screams.
"Ginny!" I shout as she gets dragged away further and further by a centaur, which held onto her by a rope, it was strangling her. I thought they were meant to be nice. I see the piece of meat, Ginny transfigured and accioed it to the werewolf. Good at least one less creature to fight. I ran as fast as I could after Ginny and centaur. They were a long way ahead of me. I could hear Ginny's strangled cries. Come on, come on! After what seemed like many exhausted minutes, I caught up to them, only because the centaur had left  her by a nearby tree. I run up and comfort her and take the rope off of her neck. I see a strangled mark she received. I start crying. I promised to stay by her side and because of my stupid weakness, she got hurt. She could've died. After very quick moments, I saw many centaurs huddle around us. Me and Ginny hurriedly Stupefied most of them and the others, scared, galloped away. Ginny suddenly hugged me, her warmth brushed against me. 
"I-I'm sorry Ginny." I say, holding back tears. 
"No worries Harry, it was unexpected for the both of us. " She reassures me 

Me and Ginny hed hands and continued walking until we came face to face with a black dog, a stag and another wolf. Oh come on, is this meant to be some sort of guilty or sentimental test.
"Harry!" Ginny says. 
I look at her and she tells how I looked a little terrified and I zoned out for a bit. I told her I am fine and I turn back to see the 3 animals gone. Was I imaginnig things? Oh well. We continue forward for a bit and come face to face with another basilisk. OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE! 
I literally feel like turning back and screaming to McGonogall to take me back, even though i know she probably won't be able to hear me.

Ginny POV

A basilsk - Honestly, the couldn't have thought of anyhting better than that could they. I groan in frustration as I recall my stupidity in my second year of trusting a book that wrote back to me. I quickly remember and close my eyes and tell Harry to do the same. 
"How are we supposed to kill this damned thing without looking at it.?" he asks. I tell him I have no idea and the best we can do is keep ur backs turned to it and RUN! We ran for what seemed like ever and I could still hear its slimy skin slither through the rough grass.
"Hey Harry, what if we use a mirror and show it its own reflection.!" I say.
"Nce thinking, Hermione 2.0 but where in the world are we going to get a mirror from?" 
I shake my head at his stupidity. Honestly.
"Are you a wizard or not?" I practically scream into his ear.
He nods his head and I continue to try and distract this beast without looking at it in the eyes, while Harry transfigures something into a mirror. He really is struggling.
"Harry for goodness sake, transfigure it into anything reflective, not necessarily a mirror." I shout while stupefying the snake. Which did no effect on it what so ever. 
"Hey you great ugly snake!" I hear Harry shout. He shines the reflection of moonlight in the snake's eyes and the straight after itself. It slowly falls down to the ground.

"Harry we didn't kill the damn thing, we just petrified it!" I groan.
"Well not like he gets any Mandrake juice here.!" He says
"Nor will we have to see the sight of that thing again!" he adds.
I laugh - I guess this is why I love him, even the smallest of situations, dangers, he cares for me and makes me laugh, cheering me up.

After a while, me and harry came to what looked like an invisble sheet of something, to harry. He walked through and literally became invisible, as if he was wearing his cloak again. 
"Harry!" I call out
"Yes Gin." he asks.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah course why?!" 
"because I can't seem to see you." 
"What?!" 
"I know its confusing but I can't see you." 
"Try coming in then maybe you will be able to." 
"Alright." 
I walk through rather quickly, incase, it was somehting like platform 9 3/4 only to find myself being able to slide past it like it was air.

As soon as I held onto Harry's hand again a great barrier began to penetrate through the ground. I guess I'm doing this by myself. 

I walk further bu tnothing is happeneing so I start to get scared. Just then I see Harry fighting a dragon, quite literally! I walk up to help him , but stop in my tracks to wonder if this is what's going on, on the other side of this frustrating barrier. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the dragon roar and fly away. I saw Harry laying on the ground. Still. Harry, Harry! NO no no no no. This seriously cannot be happening. I start crying. I check but hear no pulse. Oh no no no no no no no no no no no ! Harry wake up. Stop playing these dumb games. It's not funny! 

On the other side, I hear another familiar voice telling me that its just an illusion and it's all going to be ok. But I block out the voice. I don't listen. I can't. Not when the boy who defeated Voldermort twice, my sweet boyfriend, is laying dead in front of me.

Then suddenly I feel a warm breath behind me. I turn around to see Harry. But how is that possible!

"H-harry. Is it really you."
"Yes Gin." 
I was about to go up and hug him, when I realise it could be a trap! 
"Where did we share our first kiss?"
" In the Room of Requirement." he tells me

I run up and hug him. He hugs me back. After a few minutes he takes my hand and pokes his wand through the illusion of him. It melts away and the dust gets carried away in the breeze.

WE continue walking and spot McGonogall. We apparate back and get hugs from Draco and hermione, who got there a few minutes ago. We all wait around fro Ron, Pansy, Blaise and whoever he went with. Honestly I'm guessing Ron and Pansy went together. But I really hope they did. It will hilarious to her the awkwardness between the 2.
