Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

path. "I felt it during the final battle while we were tending to the wounded between fights." Ginny took
a deep breath before continuing, it was obviously one of the worse memories she had, and she was not
eager to relive it. "I felt the breath in my lungs turn cold. My heart stopped for a second and I thought
that I had died. The blood in my veins seemed to turn to ice as my soul screamed out in pain." Ginny's
tears were starting to come back now, "I couldn't breath, I didn't want to live, and it felt as if a piece of
me that I didn't know I had had been torn off." The hurt in Ginny's voice was raw and full of pain.
The mist Gryffindor nodded slowly, "you have passed," was all it said. Then it faded away like the
other visions.
Ron, Hermione and Ginny, who had a single tear running down her face, stood there in silence, waiting
to see if the cave would throw anything else at them. After a few minuets it seemed as if all would stay
as it was so Hermione spoke up, "I think the cave has the properties of a Bogart, but with the ability to
project its illusions using the mist."
"Is that possible?" asked Ron, looking around as if he could see the answer on the wall.
"Yes, but it would require quite a bit of spell work," said Hermione. She opened her mouth to go into
more detail, but when she saw Ginny's face she decided against it. "I'll explain it later if you want," was
what she said instead.
"Sure, that'd be great babe," said Ron, not even trying to sound genuinely interested.
They started forward again, this time at a bit of a slower pace, weary of any gatherings of mist. As they
came around a bend in the tunnel they encountered a huge cave. The ground of the cave was split in
two by a huge chasm that ran perpendicular to their line of travel. On the other side of the chasm they
could make out a doorway, the only doorway other than the one they had come through, in the
chamber.
"We could try apparating across," said Ron. He closed his eyes and turned on the spot, going no where.
"Or not," said Ginny.
"What if I levitate the two of you across and then Ron levitates me across," suggested Hermione.
"Sounds good to me," said Ron.
Hermione pointed her wand at her fiancé and waving it with a swish and flick. She silently said the
spell in her head, but nothing happened. She tried it again, this time voicing the spell out loud, and
again nothing happened.
"Swish and flick dear," said Ron, teasing Hermione.
"I know," said Hermione, suddenly a bit irritated with her self. She tried one more time and still got
nothing to happen. "Ron, why don't you try it?"
"Ok," said Ron hesitantly. He raised his wand and with a swish and flick to rival Hermione's he silently
cast the spell, to no avail. He tried again, this time his swish and flick quick and messy.
After a few more attempts by Ron and Hermione Ginny decided to try, and failed just like her friends.
"What's going on?" asked Ginny, suddenly a lot more scared than she had been only minutes ago.
"Something's blocking our ability to do magic," said Hermione. "I think this chamber inhibits the use of
magic."
"Well than how do we get across?" asked Ron
"We could try jumping," said Ginny.
