'I love you Ginerva Weasley'
Those were the words that she longed to hear from the man she loved. She couldn't help the slight blush at the thought of hearing Harry proclaim his love for her. She had been waiting for those words for a very long time, too long she thought. Sighing she looked away from the train window, the passing blurred scenery not holding her interest in the slightest. The compartment only had two others within, Neville and Luna, this greatly irked Ginny and she couldn't help the annoyed look on her face or the huffy snort. Luna was looking around absently from Ginny to Neville. Neville seemed to think he should say something.
"I'm sorry about you and Harry, do you know where any of them are?" Neville asked tentivly. When he had first arrived into the compartment, it was to the sight of a stormy Ginny banging and shoving her trunk and other possessions about.
Neville at first had thought it had to do with the break up that he would still see Harry, Ron, and Hermione. However Ginny stated that they weren't there, that they had vanished with no word to her or anyone. Luna had shortly joined them after this revelation and Ginny had just fallen into a pensive silence. Ginny had been so excited to be with Harry, she had dreamed of it and when it had happened, her mother was one of the first she told. Now she had to tell her mother he was going after Voldemort and didn't want to get her hurt. Ginny had a sinking feeling that her mother would agree with the logic of keeping her safe.
It still didn't help alleviate her annoyance at them leaving her behind; she thought that sort of treatment was over with. Hadn't she proven herself to him at the Department of Mysteries and on the Quidditch field defeating Cho TWICE? 'Well then I guess I'll just have to do it again until it gets through his thick skull he needs me.' Thought Ginny with ire, she looked to Neville now. Next to Hermione and Harry Neville and Luna were her next best friends. She had always stuck up for the both of them and respected them even when others she like didn't.
"Well I have an idea, I think that they went to Harry's relative's house, The Dursley's. I just wish they had told me first." Ginny said with an annoyed air, she was angry with all three. Her best friend for running away with her brother and her boyfriend, she refused to admit defeat and add the Ex in front, Harry as far as she was concerned was still hers. Then there was Ron always following the others headlong into things, he didn't ever seem to want to inform her or anyone what he was up to. Ron had always pushed her away from them unlike Harry and Hermione. Harry and with a slight pang she had wanted to at least spend this train ride with him, had left instead to avoid her and the rest of her family.
"They probably snuck into Hogsmeade and
apparated there⦠I just don't get why they had to sneak away like
that is all. " Ginny said a bit dispirited at the situation, she of
course knew what she had to do to fix it. She would find out what his
plans were and incorporate herself in them. Ginny wasn't going to
take this lying down and she knew Ron would have to return for Bill's
Wedding, she would be counting on this. They didn't speak much
after that, reflecting on whether or not Hogwarts would even be open
next year without Dumbledore.
When Ginny finally arrived at
King's Cross, her mother greeted her, and a few Aurors stationed
there. The only reason Ginny had to take the Express home was that
her father and mother had taken Bill to St. Mungo's for further
observation. Now Mrs. Weasley looked worriedly around Ginny,
searching for Ron, Hermione and Harry.
"Ginny, where is Ron, Hermione and Harry?" Molly asked worriedly though the look she gave was suspicious already.
"They left before the train arrived, I think they Apparated in Hogsmeade but I don't know where." Ginny said shaking her head, let Ron explain when he finally DID show up. Mrs. Weasley looked stunned, after a second Ginny could tell that her mother was enraged.
"Wait till I get my hands on Ronald, running off like that He could be." Molly's face suddenly turned from anger to misery and she visibly shook. The twin faces of Fred and George appeared then from behind Molly, as if they had just Apparated.
"Ron's not here? That prat." Fred said with an annoyed look. George just shook his head and then looked at Ginny.
"Ron thinks he's Percy sending US a howler about whom we sell our products to." George explained to a derisive snort from Fred.
"Speaking of HIM he's still" Said Fred
"A prat and a" George said before being interrupted by their mother.
"Fred. George that's enough we better be getting along we've stood here long enough as it is." Mrs. Weasley said in a curt tone helping Ginny bring her things to the Taxi Mrs. Weasley.
"Dad's been trying to talk to Percy but no good, Mum keeps at him about it though." George said to Ginny as they rode off in the Taxi. Fred just stared out a window not seeming to want to talk about the subject.
Meanwhile up front Mrs. Weasley was fuming and muttering under her breath about Ron and what she was going to do to him once she got her hands on him.
"Well I don't much care about him coming back either but why doesn't he talk to Dad anymore? It just doesn't make sense, he knows Voldemort's back" Ginny said shaking her head at how stubborn her brother was being. Though stubbornness seemed to be a family trait that they all had. This was an old conversation though and none of them seemed interested in worrying about at the moment. Fred and George however both raised an eyebrow at the mention of Voldemort's name. They just shared a grin though and returned their collective attention to Ginny.
"Well now tell us what's
this about you going out with Harry?" Fred asked with a mischievous
grin.
Ginny looked down a bit not wanting to talk about this here
but then she looked resolutely forward. "Yes we were going out,
until the funeral." Ginny stated flatly.
"Were?" George asked with a frown
"What happened? Did you bat-bogey hex him?" Fred asked looking uncharacteristically concerned.
"No, he said we couldn't be together because he didn't want Voldemort to use me against him." Ginny said now sounding irked about it.
"Maybe you should have hexed him." Fred said with a grin, he looked to his twin and exchanged an understood look.
"We could hex him for you if you wanted, we come up with nice good ones." George said with a playfully evil grin.
Mrs. Weasley seemed too preoccupied with Ron to notice any of this verbal exchange between her children. For that Ginny was grateful she didn't want to talk about this just yet to her mother. To the twins though she gave a wry grin, she quietly pointed her wand toward her mother and Taxi driver using the spell she had heard Ron talks of. 'Muffliato' to insure that Mrs. Weasley didn't hear what Ginny was about to say.
"No, I don't want to hex him or for you to do it for me. I have a much better idea and I need your help." Ginny said to the twins and they huddled closer whispering plans on how they were going to help Harry defeat Voldemort.
