Love Keeps Us Going
Chapter One: Trouble in Hogsmeade
"Harry," Ron said.
"Harry," Ron repeated a little louder.
"HARRY!" Ron screamed and waved his hands in front of Harry's face.
"Um…What?" Harry replied. He had been staring at Ginny again. She looked especially hot today in her tight brown jeans and pink halter top that showed of her slim physique. She looked absolutely breathtaking in Harry's opinion.
"Did you even hear what I said? I asked if you were ready to go to Hogsmeade yet." Ron asked, irritated. It was the first Hogsmeade weekend of the year and all of the third years and above were excited to get out of the castle. Ron wanted to head out soon because he was running low in sweets and dungbombs. Also, he wanted to take a look Fred and George's new branch in Hogsmeade.
"Yeah, let's go," said Harry. He quickly snuck another glance at Ginny. She really was beautiful and he was starting to fall for her. Ron, of course, was blissfully oblivious.
Hermione on the other hand noticed. It's about time. I can't wait to tell Ginny. Her dreams might finally come true. They would make a great couple, Hermione thought with a smile.
"What are you smiling about 'Mione?" Harry asked when he saw Hermione's face break into a grin.
"Nothing," Hermione replied innocently. Now if only I can get Ron to notice me. Hermione thought sighing inwardly. In her opinion, Ron was looking just as handsome as ever: with his flaming red hair, impossibly cute freckles, and those lips, so full and delicious looking that she just wanted to grab him and snog him senseless, but she couldn't. After all, Ron didn't even know she was a girl, or at least that's what Hermione thought.
"So, guys, where should we go first? Honeydukes? I'll running low on sugar quills." Hermione said.
"Okay, we can go to Honeydukes first, it's fine by me," replied Harry.
"It's fine by me, I wanted to go there first anyways," answered Ron.
As soon as the trio entered Honeydukes, they were greeted by the delicious aroma of sweets. Ron immediately spotted a sign for free samples of pumpkin fudge, they each selected a piece and tried it.
"This is delicious!" Ron exclaimed, grabbing another piece and stuffing it into his mouth.
Mmmmmmmmm, it really is delicious!" Harry agreed, "Don't you agree Mione?"
"Yes, for once I actually agree," replied Hermione, "Let's buy some."
They each bought a bag of sweets. They climbed out of Honeydukes and were happily chatting and munching on their sweets when, suddenly, they heard a high pitched scream. They drew their wands and sprinted to where they heard the scream and found that Ginny had been grabbed by Death Eaters there were five Death Eaters in all. Harry felt anger starting from his very core bubble up within him. How dare they grab Ginny!
"Damn it! Take your bloody hands off her!" Harry screamed. When the Death Eater holding Ginny only laughed, Harry, Ron, and Hermione started firing hexes at the Death Eaters. Harry and Ron started dueling with two Death Eaters each while Hermione tried to free Ginny.
Harry quickly took down a Death Eater and moments later, Ron took down another Death Eater.
Hermione however, didn't have such good luck, she had heard two people drop to the floor which meant that two were down, Hermione prayed that it was a Death Eater and not Harry or Ron. She took a moment to take a quick glance and to her relief, it was two Death Eaters that were down, not Harry or Ron. Unfortunately, that one little glance had cost Hermione and she suddenly felt like a knife was cutting open her left shoulder, trying not to show any weakness, Hermione held back her scream. Hermione shot a stunning spell at the Death Eater, making him duck. Unfortunately, at least for the Death Eater, he had to let go of Ginny. Ginny who is now free, shot a stunning spellat the Death Eater. Hermione quickly murmured a healing charm at her cut left shoulder and together, they bound the Death Eater.
"Thanks," Hermione said to Ginny.
"No problem, Mione, I'm the one that should thank you. Anyways, let's help the boys finish off the last two assholes that decided to become Death Eaters," Ginny said with a small giggle.
Just as Ginny and Hermione reached the boys, another two thuds were heard. Harry and ron had just finished off the last two Death Eaters. The four of them bound the Death Eaters and found a professor to take it from there. Then, they started to head back to Hogwarts, but they didn't get more than twenty feet before they ran into Neville, Luna, Dean (Harry quickly glared at him.), and Seamus running towards them, wands drawn.
"We heard a scream, so we came here to find out what happened as soon as possible, but it looks like we're a little late." Neville said in a rush.
"Don't worry," Hermione reassured, "Five Death Eaters came and grabbed Ginny, but Harry stunned them all and we bound them. We've already notified a professor, and they sent the Death Eaters off to Azkaban."
"Oh, sorry we didn't get here faster," Luna apologized.
"Gin, are you okay?" Harry asked, worried.
"Yes, I'm fine." Ginny smiled e a smile that made Harry's heart melt. Even though she was with Dean, she still loved Harry in her heart.
Dean hugged her and then kissed her sweetly, to which Harry looked away. Harry felt his heart breaking.
The gang headed back to the castle.
When they reached the castle, they went straight to Madame Pomfrey to check on Ginny. Madame Pomfrey said that Ginny was fine, just a little scare because of the encounter.
For the rest of the day, the gang played Quidditch. Harry, Ron, Ginny, Dean, and Seamus played Quidditch while Hermione, Luna, and Neville watched.
After several hours of Quidditch, the gang decided to asked Ginny what had happened before the Golden Trio got there. Ginny said that she didn't really know she heard twenty five pops and before she knew it, one of the Death Eaters grabbed her. Then, they headed back into the castle for dinner.
