[HP Translation] Ginny's Punishment

"Oh, Kim...shhhhhhh baby, it'll be all right," Bill whispered in her ear.

Ginny let out another cry, clutching Bill tightly, barely breathing from the pain.

"They're all gone, Bill! They're all gone!"

Bill let out a stifled sob and hugged Ginny tighter.

Ginny could feel his warm tears wet her hair.

"I know, Kim," he whispered.His voice was barely audible.

However, Ginny couldn't understand what Bill was saying.God, she couldn't think.

She couldn't believe it.

Her mother and brother died.

Molly Weasley was killed by Rodolph Sleister after she killed Bella Lest Ledge.

However, her brother Ron was killed by Peter Pedillo while trying to help Harry fight Voldemort.

The rest of her family is safe, but the loss of two of her closest family members was a fatal blow.

It's like Ron got into a fight yesterday because the neighbor made her cry, or secretly had a tea party with her and her teddy bear; Hug her in first grade.

Now, they are all gone.

Reality hit Ginny again, her legs barely holding up.

Luckily Bill was strong enough to catch her.

"Do you want to meet them, Kim?" he asked softly.

"As long as you come with me," she whispered.

"Always, Kim. I'm always with you."

Ginny finally pushed Bill's chest away and looked him in the eye.

They were wet and swollen, filled with the sadness she felt.

"Take me to them, Bill."

Bill put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Ginny paid no attention to the people passing by or the damaged buildings.Tears kept streaming down her cheeks, she really couldn't accept that her mother and brother were gone forever.

She walked into the auditorium, and the floor was covered with sheets of dead bodies.

Bill led Ginny to a large group of redheads surrounding the two uncovered bodies.

Ginny stopped and grabbed Bill's arm tightly.

She wondered if she wanted to see them.Seeing them means they're really gone.

"Come on, Kim," Bill said softly, rubbing her shoulder.

Ginny took a deep breath and let Bill lead her forward.

Charlie was the first to see them.

Before Ginny knew what was going on, she was hugged by her brothers.

They all hugged and kissed her and immediately said how happy they were to know she was okay.

Until now, Ginny had never imagined that she would enjoy being suffocated and surrounded by her brothers so much.

She grabbed them and began to sob uncontrollably.

"It's all right, Kim. We'll get through it," she heard Fred (George?) say.

This made Ginny sob even harder.

How was she going to get by without those two people who were always her rock-solid pillars?

Her brothers finally let go.

Ginny wiped her eyes with her sleeve, looking down at her mother lying on the ground.

Molly Weasley looked so peaceful, her eyes closed and her lips pursed into a natural curve.

Arthur Weasley sat next to her, his face flushed and wet with tears.

Ron was next to Molly.He looked peaceful too, his skin was so pale that Ginny could barely see his freckles.

Hermione sat next to him, looking more vulnerable than ever.Her disheveled hair was even more disheveled, and her face was full of sadness.Harry was behind Hermione, with his hands on her shoulders, looking down at his best friend, tears streaming down his face.

Ginny collapsed next to her father, and when he realized she was coming, he gave her a tight hug.They all looked into Molly Weasley's face, saying their final goodbyes.

B~*B~*B~*B

Ginny stared out the window.After falling asleep exhausted next to the dead body of her brother Ron, she had awoken in St Mungo's hours earlier.

She knew those bodies were just shells of people she loved.However, she also felt that maybe spending some time with them would help her cope better with the situation.

There was a knock on the door behind her.

Ginny continued to stare out the window, ignoring it.

"How are you?"

It's Remus.

Ginny shrugged weakly.

"I am saddened by the loss of your loved one."

Ginny closed her eyes, trying to ignore the pain in her heart.

Remus walked around the bed, blocking the window.He looked as sad and sad as Ginny.Only then did Ginny remember that Remus had lost Tonks and had to raise his son alone.

Ginny stared at the floor.

"You're right about Severus."

Remus stopped.Ginny said nothing.

"Severus has always been a member of the Order, even when we thought he had betrayed us. He never murdered the headmaster. Albus died because he asked Severus to kill him so that he could be used by Voldemort. "

Ginny wasn't surprised to hear that.Although Snape was occasionally violent and possessive towards her, she always knew he wasn't really a Death Eater.

"How is he?" Ginny asked softly.

"Well, he yelled at everyone and refused to see Harry, so I took that as he was fine."

Remus pulled out the chair next to the bed and sat down.

"It's all because of your quick brains that he's fully recovered. He'll be the same as before, just with a scar on his neck."

Despite the sadness in her heart, Ginny was glad to know he was okay.

Remus seemed to hesitate for a moment, then spoke again.

"He keeps asking about you. He wants to see you."

Ginny's heart was beating restlessly.Snape rarely "asked" her.No, he usually grabs her abruptly like a primitive man, and throws her when he's done.It was rather odd to hear him openly request to see her.

"I don't approve of him starting a physical relationship with you not only as a figure of authority but as a Death Eater from the outside. I know, however, that Snape never tried so hard to protect anyone around him. I think he probably loved you."

Ginny's heart beat restlessly again.She always wanted him to love her.If Remus saw it, maybe he really could.After all, Ginny can't read minds.

"I want to see him," said Ginny.

Remus gave her a sad smile and stood up.

Ginny crawled out of bed and stood up on trembling legs.She couldn't remember the last time she ate.As soon as Remus found her and Snape in the shed, she was taken to Bill to tell them about their mother and Ron.

They took the elevator to the fourth floor.It reminded Ginny of a time when her father had been attacked by the same snake that had attacked Snape.She was so afraid of losing him.

Ron and Molly flashed through Ginny's mind, and it took all her willpower not to cry.

They walked through corridors, eventually stopping at a door guarded by two burly wizards.

They nodded to Remus and opened the door to let him in.However, when Ginny tried to follow in, she was stopped.

"It's okay. She's with me," Remus said.

The guard raised his arms, ignoring Remus.

"What's your name?" they asked.

"Ginny Weasley," Ginny said softly.Normally, she wouldn't tell them.However, at this moment she was too sad to resist.

They nodded to each other and let her pass.

The room was quite large, bigger even than the one her father had lived in.Ginny was sure that Snape might be considered a war hero.

Snape was sitting on the hospital bed reading a book.He didn't seem to hear them coming in because he didn't look up when they entered the room.

He looked exactly the same except for the bandage around his neck.

His hair was still greasy, his face was still very pale, and he frowned as he read.

To Ginny, however, he had never been so handsome.This is quite ironic.She was sure everyone had predicted that Snape would die at the end of the war.However, he is here alive, while many students and members of the Order of the Phoenix are dead.

Remus moved forward, but Ginny stayed in the doorway with her arms folded.

"Severus, it's good to see you recovering well."

Severus looked up from his book, glaring at Remus.

"What are you doing back here? I think I told you not to come again."

Remus held up a hand defensively, pointing at Ginny.

Snape's eyes flicked to her immediately.As soon as their eyes made contact, his stare disappeared.

"I know you want to leave quietly. But I think it would be very beneficial for you to meet Ginny."

"Leave," said Snape, putting down his book.

Remus turned to leave, but patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

The door closed, leaving them staring at each other.

Ginny walked slowly towards the bed and looked at him.She wanted so badly to run into his arms and cry until she couldn't cry.

However, she held back.She didn't know how to behave around him.

"I'm glad you came to see me, Weasley," he began.

Ginny felt her heart sink when she heard him call her last name.She was used to him calling her by her Christian name.

She stopped there, just staring at him.

Snape looked away.

"First of all, I want to apologize for the way I have treated you over the past year. I have used my power and control to the point of hurting you. I have taken you very selfishly."

Ginny remained silent.

"If you haven't discovered it by now, the mark on your hip will help you call me and fend off intruders looking for information in your brain that can fight you. However, the way I put it on you is wrong. In protecting you In the process, I used my preferred method. I made you completely powerless in this relationship, and I am sorry."

Ginny felt so many emotions at the moment.Anger, sadness, frustration, disbelief.She had a hard time picking out what to say, so she kept silent.

"I heard Potter proposed to you."

"Yes. But I haven't answered him yet," she said softly.

"I know you love him. Thank you for being with me and comforting me during the hardest time of my life. But you've done so much for me. You can be with Potter. I have nothing for you Please, Weasley."

"But what about us?" Ginny asked.

"There was never us, Weasley. Only I used you. Our relationship was hollow and would be a disaster if it continued. The war is over and I have no place in your life. You It has nothing to do with me anymore."

Ginny felt her heart break in two.She turned away immediately so that he could not see her tears.

"I guess you—" she stopped so her voice wouldn't break, "that our relationship will never be normal. I'm glad you're okay, Headmaster. I wish you well."

Ginny almost ran out of the room and threw herself into the arms of Remus who was waiting outside, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ginny...Ginny, tell me what's wrong?" Remus asked.

"He doesn't want me, Remus. He doesn't want me anymore," Ginny sobbed.

"Oh, Ginny, come on, let's go back to your room."

Ginny grabbed Remus and told him to take her back to her hospital room.It was too much for her to bear.She wondered if her heart could still be healed.
