We Were Going To Be So Happy
Ginny Weasley gently knocked on the door of her muggle neighbor's house. She had been babysitting for them for the past couple of years, and quite enjoyed it.
"Ginny!" Mrs. Mitchell exclaimed as she answered the door. Ginny had always been her favorite neighbor, and Mrs. Mitchell often expressed this fact.
Ginny said her goodbyes to Mr. And Mrs. Mitchell as they left on their date. Their daughter's Megan, 5, and Ashley, 7, came running down the stairs to meet Ginny.
"Mommy says we can stay up until nine tonight, Ginny isn't that great!" Yelled Megan from the stairs. Ginny looked at her watch, it was already 8 o'clock so she only had an hour to kill.
"Did you guys eat yet?" She asked the kids. They nodded so Ginny took them into the living room to play a few games of Candy Land.
At 8:30 they decided to have some ice cream. Ginny went into the basement and brought up two small cartons of chocolate ice cream. When they finished their ice cream Ginny put the two girls to bed, and went downstairs to watch a little T.V.
After a while Ginny looked down at her watch, 9:15 it said. Harry was supposed to call her at exactly 9:30 from the Dursley's. She thought of the conversation they had had last night. She thought about how Harry had told her about defeating Voldemort but that there were still some Death Eaters out that would want revenge. She thought about how he told her that they might come after her. And she thought about how he had proposed to her. She thought about how the wedding was supposed to be in the fall. She thought about cakes, and dresses, and flowers. She thought about how she still had to tell him about the baby growing inside her. She thought about how happy she knew they were going to be.
As she thought, she slowly began to fall asleep. She was immediately awoken when she heard four loud cracks from the back yard. She ran to the window and saw four Death Eaters approaching the house. She knew she had to get the children away, but how? Apparate, she thought, but then looked down at her pregnant stomach and knew she couldn't apparate. Floo, she thought, no they were muggles they didn't have any floo powder. Then she thought of something.
Quickly she ran upstairs to the bedroom the girls shared. She woke them up and told them her plan. She was going to hoist them out the window and they were to run over to the Burrow and inform the Weasleys of what was happening. She conjured up some rope and tied it around Megan and Ashley, gently she lowered them out the window and down to the grass. She watched them take off running in the direction of the Burrow. She screamed as she felt a hand wrap around her neck. She was bound to the dresser immediately after. The four death Eaters closed in around her. She tried to reach for her wand but couldn't move her arms. The Death Eaters began to speak to one another in parstletongue. Ginny frantically looked from one Death Eater to the next.
Suddenly there was a ringing in the distance, Ginny looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 9:30. Harry, she thought as a silent tear fell from her face. The ringing continued but the Death Eaters ignored it. The Death Eater Ginny recognized as Dolohov raised his wand and Ginny knew what was about to happen as she heard the phone ring one last time. Oh Harry, she thought, we were going to be so happy.
