I'm duelling a masked deatheater when suddenly my wand fly's out of my had and I'm knocked backwards onto the ground, the deatheater is advancing wand drawn, when a jet of red light soars over my head and hit's him in the chest. He crumples and I look around for my saviour; Ginny.
"What are you doing here?" I yell at her
"Saving your arse!" she replies, bending down and picking up the deatheaters wand "I believe that makes three" she yells at me over the noise of the advancing house elves "what's your total?"
"One" I shout in reply "but stop changing the subject, Seriously Gin you need to get out of here, Go to the Burrow, Grimauld place, anywhere".
"Oh yeah, like that'll make a difference!" she screamed at me, aiming a stunner over my head "They've already killed Fred… and Colin… and Padma Patil… and Katie Bell- she has a little baby you know, Charlotte, Oliver told me, she's barely six weeks old-" Fred my little brother, Colin that little blonde friend of Gin's, Katie Bell, she was on my Quiditch team, it's hard to imagine her grown up, married, with a baby… and dead. Each name makes my heart grow just slightly colder and I cast yet more curses into the deatheaters ranks.
"And then" Ginny continues "there's Hestia Jones and Lupin and Tonks" Shit no! Tonks? Tonks can't be dead, I send a curse at Rowle, it hits him in the arm, and an explosion of Pink light erupts from the spot, raining down like fireballs on the nearby deatheaters and burning everything they touch. That's for her I say to myself, before turning back to Ginny who's continuing her rant,
"Her own aunt did her in, so what do you think they'll do to me if Voldemort wins, I don't think it will matter that If I'm here or not, they'll find me and they'll kill me, so to be honest if I've got to die, I'd rather die here with my friends and family and the boy I love" (I made a mental note to have a word with Harry if we ever got out of this mess)
"Seven, by the way" she yelled at me shooting a body bind curse at Avery
"Six" I replied dodging yet another jet of green light, I so wasn't going to let her win this one "….seven"
She scowls at me, hair whipping round her face, eyes dancing with the light of the battle; it's frightening watching her fight and not just because she's my baby sister and I don't want to see her get hurt, It's because she lets herself go completely, it brings an angry dragon to mind, a nesting Chinese Fireball; scary as hell…
"Eight!" her voice comes triumphantly, smirking at me before running over to the opposite corner of the great hall to join in Hermione and Luna's fight with Bellatrix
"Be careful!" I shout after her, friendly competition aside there was no way I was losing another sibling tonight.
I love Charlie and Ginny though I fear I may not have done them justice, oh well; please tell me what you think…
