Chapter One
Gone
"Missing? What do you mean, they're missing?"
"If I ever disappear, don't think it's because I'm somewhere I want to be more than I want to be with you. I love with all my heart. I'd rather be with you than anywhere else."
"The last anyone knew, they were heading to Egypt, something about picking up the trail, but that was two weeks ago."
"No matter how long it takes, I will come back to you. I would have no choice, you are my life, my love, the very air I breathe."
"They were supposed to check in ten days ago."
"I won't stay away longer than I have to. I'll write when I can."
"We've been searching since then, but we haven't turned up much."
"I love you, I love you more than anything in the world."
"I'm sorry, Mrs Potter, but we're afraid Harry's gone."
"I'll be back for you, Ginny, love of my life. If you don't remember anything else I ever tell you, remember that."
And that's when she fainted dead away. All the blood rushed from her already pale face, and Ginny Weasley-Potter crumpled to the floor.
"Ginny!" cried a voice as someone rushed forward to help Mrs Harry Potter to her feet again.
The unspeakable who had delivered the news to her shook his head, thinking how horrible it was that the young woman was widowed just three months after she had married one of the most famous wizards of the age.
