[HP Translation] Ginny's Punishment

"Miss! Miss! You must go to Hogwarts now, miss!"

When Winky appeared in the living room, Ginny almost jumped out of her seat.

"What's the matter, Winky?" Ginny asked, putting down her textbook.

"Miss must come now! Master Snape doesn't have much time."

Ginny felt her stomach disappear.

"What do you mean Snape didn't have much time? What happened?" Ginny asked, her voice growing louder.

"We don't have time, Miss Ginny!"

Before Ginny could ask anything else, the elf grabbed her hand, and they disappeared down Spider's End.

Ginny appears amidst the chaos.Through the high ceiling, she recognized herself at Hogwarts.

However, the corridors were filled with rubble, flames, and Death Eaters fighting members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Ginny automatically pulled her wand out of her sleeve and began casting spells at the Death Eaters.

The Stunning Spell shot out with a intensity she had never felt before.

Much of the reason her spell was so strong was that Ginny was very, very angry...she was beyond angry.She was about to murder someone.

How dare Snape isolate her from the war?

"Come here, miss, he doesn't have much time," Winky said, taking Ginny's hand.

Ginny continued to cast spells at the Death Eaters while Winky led her to the headmaster's office.

Ginny ran up the stone stairs to the office, noticing that it was empty and quiet.

Ginny and Winky both ran to the top of the stairs, panting.

The portraits in the office are all empty.

Winky pulled Ginny into the headmaster's private room.

"Miss Ginny needs a potion for Master Snape. Winky will do other things!"

Without thinking, Ginny ran to the headmaster's bed and pulled out the pillow from the pillowcase.Then he ran to Ce and said, taking out all the medicines in the small cabinet.

When the last potion was packed into the pillowcase, Winky grabbed her again and Ginny disappeared again.

This time, Ginny appeared in a very dim place.

A few meters in front of her was Snape lying in a pool of blood.

Ginny felt the color fade completely from her face.

Oh god no... oh damn, there's no way this is going to happen!Her Snape... her Severus... he wasn't breathing.

"Miss! Miss needs to help Master Snape!" cried Winky.

Ginny felt tears run down her face.

"I think he's gone, Winky," she said, her voice hoarse.

"No, no, no, no! The lady must save Master Snape... Only the lady can!"

Ginny wiped her face and ran to his motionless body.

He looked so pale, even paler than ever.His neck was covered in blood and looked almost completely torn.

Ginny fell to her knees, not caring that his blood stained her pants.

She put her hand on his chest and almost fell to the floor when she felt it rise and fall slightly.

Winky brought the medicine bag to Ginny.

"Master Snape was bitten by a big snake...Miss must stop the venom from spreading."

Ginny took her hands off his chest and got to work.

First she made him drink a bottle of a very strong antisnake potion, and then she gave him a blood tonic.

When this was done, she moved his head to her lap.She stroked his cheek, trying to hold back tears.

If Snape died... Ginny didn't know what she would do.

"Please, Professor...please, Severus. Please don't leave me," she whispered.

Winky paced back and forth, twisting her apron.

The fighting outside is fierce.Ginny could hear stone peeling off the castle, and people shouting.

Ginny desperately wanted to go out and help fight.She knew her family was fighting, possibly facing death.

But she can't.Snape himself faced death in the dark shack.She didn't know his position in the war, but she knew she couldn't just leave him like this.He showed her too much kindness for her to believe he was a Death Eater.

She loves him and if he had the chance to survive and be free, they would be together and she would run away with him without remorse.She just hopes her family doesn't kill her for that.Damn, she hoped her family would survive the war.

When some color started to come back to his face, Ginny started to give him more potions.

Ginny was delighted that Snape was training her to heal.She had mentioned in past conversations with him that she wanted to be a physician.

After Snape found out, he trained her rigorously in potion making, potion dispensing, medical check spells and stuff.

Ginny was pretty sure that if she took the entrance exam for the medical system, she would pass with a high score.

The skin on Snape's neck began to heal slowly.Even his breathing began to change.It seems to be easier to breathe.Ginny knew it was a good sign, but she also knew that if she didn't try again soon, all her efforts would be wasted.

When Ginny finally fed him the last vial, she noticed that everything was very quiet.A little too quiet.

"Winky, I need you to see what's going on outside."

Winky looked at Snape.Once she is satisfied with her master's current condition, she disappears.

Ginny sighed, and looked at Snape again.She ran her fingers over his pale face, marveling at how young he looked when he wasn't frowning or scowling.

"If you survive, I promise to kill you again. I can't believe you didn't tell me how bad things are. This is the last fight!"

Ginny wiped her tear-stained face with her forearm, and suddenly began to smile.

"But thank you for trying to keep me safe. I know you're just trying to do what's best for me."

Ginny's feet were starting to go numb, so she turned a rust-colored board into a pillow.

Gently placing Snape's head on top of it, she finally stood up.She cleaned the pools of blood around his body and walked around the hut to circulate the blood in his legs.

At this moment, Winky returned to the room.

"The war is over, miss! The bad guys are gone!"

Ginny blinked at Winky.

"Bad guy? Mysterious Man is gone? He's dead?"

Winky nodded vigorously.

Ginny fell slowly beside Snape, her hands over her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She couldn't believe what she heard.Tom Riddle - Voldemort is dead.

It was bittersweet for her.After all, she was once the closest person to Voldemort.He put her through his private hell when she was just 11 years old.She's glad the bastard is dead.

Ginny took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"Winky, can you get someone to help us?" Ginny said.

"Okay, miss!"

Winky left the room.

Ginny looked at Snape.

She didn't know what kind of future she and those on the bright side would face.She just wanted Snape to be with her, free and happy.
