Ron slowly awoke in a daze. His memory of what happened slowly came back to him. Ron stumbled to his feet and immediately set new wards around the house. Now Harry and Hermione couldn't come back even if they wanted to.
Ron reached into his pocket and took out the Resurrection stone. Hermione had been so repulsed from his display of affection earlier, She hadn't notice his hand slip into her pocket and remove it. As much as her rejection hurt him, It was all worth it to see his sister rise from the stone again.“Ginny” Ron gasped. After all this time it still left him in a trance like state as he gazed longingly at his sister's spirit. “Hi Ron long time no see” Ginny said with a grin. It was as if she hadn't changed at all.“I missed you Ginny, Its really you....” Ron was in tears. He ran to hug his sister but ran through her hitting the wall. Ron couldn't take it and started break down. “I'm sorry Ron, I wish I could hug you but I can't”. Her voice was angelic. Ron looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes. He could hear heard the heart ache in her voice. “It seems they abandoned us both. We Weasley's have lost the two people we loved the most”. Her eyes narrowed as her words worked into Ron's brain “If we want them back we will have to work together ”. “How do I get them back Ginny! How can I get my friends back when I just drove them away getting you”. Ron spat in resentment. “You already know how....” Ginny whispered“I won't do it I can't kill them. That won't bring the back to me”.“I'm dead and yet I'm with you. In fact as long as you have the stone I am bound to you”. Ginny said with a grin.“Ginny your saying with this stone, I could have Hermione stay by my side for the rest of my life?” Ron spoke slowly as he looked at Ginny. “Death doesn't matter anymore. I won't be murdering them, I will just be stopping them from leaving me”.“You can do more then that. The Wand was made to deal death. The Clock was made to escape death. The Stone was made to Master Death.” “What are you talking about” Ron asked looking at the stone as it started to glow.Ginny smiled her eyes also glowed and her voice turned hypnotic. “What if I told you the Fairy tales are true. What if I told you Death WAS the creator of the Hallows. What if I told you Death himself lies in that stone”. Ron felt a shiver down his spine as Ginny turned into a deathly figure. “Your a slave to your fears. You even helped bring Voldemort back. You go from serving one wizard to another, aren't you sick of there shadows. With this stone you can achieve things Voldemort could not begin to comprehend”.Ginny pointed to a picture on the ground. Ron wasn't sure how it got there or if it was real. It was a a picture of him, Harry and Hermione celebrating Ron's Quidditch Cup victory in 6th year. Ginny was also there by Harry's side. The picture brought tears to his eyes.“It is not too late Ron, we can all be together again. You must lack sympathy, empathy, and compassion. You must be ruthless. You must tear your sole appart and offer it as a sacrifice to the stone. Only then will Death except you. Remember there is no good or evil, only power and those to weak to seek it”.A fire lit up in Ron's stomach. He knew what he had to do. Everything finally made sense as he new what his destiny was.Ginny smiled, she would finally be reunited in the afterlife with her true love. “You have lived in the shadows of others your whole life. Now it's your turn to cast a shadow.”Ron took the picture and lit it on fire, his eyes glowing in its light. “I will cast a shadow, I will cover the world in darkness. I will claim the power in the stone and Hermione will be mine dead or alive.”.......................................................................................................................................................................................
