Sacrifice (Short Story)

[Nadia]

Reader's Note: This story takes place before Virginia Morgan runs away actually directly before that. The last fight of her and her sister and her watcher who tried so hard to save her life. This is their story. Also note that this is loosley based off of Harry Potter & Buffy the concept belongs to them the plot and characters do not.

If you would have told me that I would lose my best friend, my mentor and my guide by the end of that day, I would've laughed and than I would've checked you into a mental hospital for being crazy. But, I am sorry to say that it was exactly what happened.

Let me start from the very beginning though. My name is Gina Morgan. Fourteen year old girl who's in Gryffindor. I am the daughter of the most evil wizard of all time and sister to the second most powerful witch in the whole of the wizarding world. I am also a vampire slayer and I slay and train to slay vampires and other demonic creatures.

That was exactly what I and my watcher was doing when this whole mess started. Outside in the graveyard, we were practicing with all manners of weapons from swords, to knives, to stakes, to wands.

My watcher, Kit, was an older woman. I never did find out how old she was although I could've guessed about thirty five. With wavy blond hair and ocean blue eyes. She looked something like a celebrity. Her hair was up in a ponytail as she forced me to duck. I hadn't been paying attention and she had almost cut me on my shoulders.

"Focus Virginia!" Kit called exasperated at my lack of concentration. This was how things went usually in the mornings. What could i say, I wasn't a morning person. That got me worked up though. I rolled my eyes at her. I knew it was childish of me to fight with her but it felt like it was the right thing to do at this point.

That of course again made me lose my focus and she now neglected her sword as she tacked me to the ground. She kicked me on the knee and that was when I got hold of her arm and spun her around slamming her against the nearest tree.

"I don't know about you but I am not a morning person, you should know that by now" I snapped. But a second later, seeing the look on her face i wish I hadn't.

She than started screaming as she often did. "DO YOU THINK, VAMPIRES, DEMONS AND OTHER CREATURES WILL CARE THAT ITS 7AM GINA, YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY, YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE, YOU...."

"HAVE A LIFE" I yelled.

Throwing her in training was one thing but I knew as soon as I said those three little words I was in trouble. There were some things that my watcher did not let slide and one of them was disrespect and I had just disrespected her.

She didn't yell, she didn't scream. She looked at me wearily and said in her most calmest voice possible. "That was not, necessary Virginia...apologize" But I didn't, I meant to really because Kit was one of those people that you did not want to see mad. Not because of the yelling and screaming no, but because of that sound in her voice, you didn't want to disappoint her. But I had too much of a pride i guess, to apologize.

Just as I stepped back to get back into training the two of us felt wind. High wind, not anything caused by the environment. My watcher hung onto my shoulders tightly as my sister appeared out of practically nowhere.

She was a couple years younger than me but more powerful than I was. She had black hair and black eyes and she was wearing jeans and tank top which was the usual summer attire for her.

But I knew the second she came in that way that she was furious beyond reasoning. What had made her mad was anyone's guess and she started attacking out of nowhere. I tried to do what I could to first calm her and when that wasn't posisble to protect Kit.

Kit tried to fight her off too and protect me. "GET OUT OF HERE, GO TO THE LEAKY CAULDRON AND STAY THERE!!!"

Her voice was urgent and I did not argue. I wish I could've protected her but now she practically forced me out of the place with a wave of her wand. I was outside the premesies but I could hear my sister and my watcher talking.

If I would've just left i would not have seen what I saw. I saw a wave of light that made it look like a patronus. My watcher probablly had conjured it and sure enough I saw a bright blue owl come out of thin air.

As quickly as it had appeared it vanished. i knew why, the air was still now. My sister was gone. I went back to where my watcher had been and looked at her still body. She looked peaceful, she hadnt been tortured. I started to cry. I had never gotten around to saying goodbye or saying how much she meant to me. The last words I said were the words of disrespect and i felt ashamed and ticked off at myself for it. I looked at her and whispered.

"I am so, so, so, so,sorry" I choked back tears and picked up my watcher's wand and her sword. We used to joke around and had called it excaliber, after the sword of King Arthur than, before I knew it. I was out of my father's house and in a room in the Leaky Cauldron. My watcher's wand had become a portkey.

So, tell me what you think. This is one of my earlier peices I wrote on Gina and I have a lot of these background scenes if you will so, now that I'm done my story, you can all tell me what you think of it.
