Summary: Harry, Blaise, Draco, Luna, and Ginny get lost in Forbidden Forest during the Final Battle. Blaise/Luna...not quite sure if I want this to be HG or DG...I'll probably decide when the story becomes more developed.
AN: I'm not sure how good I'm feeling about this story. My other story is my main project right now, so this isn't going to get as much attention as Something to Write About. This first chapter is pretty short and the rest of the chapters might be this short too, but I don't know yet. Read, enjoy, and review.
Disclaimer: My mind has come up with many miraculous things, but I can't take responsibility for these characters.
Ginny felt twigs and branches slap against her, creating fresh cuts on her face and arms as she ran through the forbidden forest. She started to slow down when she realized that she wasn't on the path anymore, and the first, second, and third years she and Luna had been assigned to take to safety weren't behind her. 'Great' she thought to herself,'all I had to do was get them to safety, and by now they're probably dead!'
"Luna!" She called out as loudly as she dared. Everything remained silent except for a few muffled explosions that could be faintly heard to the west. 'The battle must still be going on. I hope we're winning...I hope everyone is okay.' she thougt.
She sighed an looked around herself again. She was contemplating what to do when a twig snapped behind her. She whirled around but didn't see anything. 'It was only an animal...yeah, an animal.'She turned back around and started walking, hoping to come across someone, preferably Luna, when she heard another noise behind her.
This time she turned around soon enough to see the tall, black robed person standing before her wearing a skull mask. Her eyes widened and she raised her wand to stun him, but wasn't able to say anything before he summoned it and she was left there, wandless, in the face of a death eater.
Ginny froze. She coulnd't help it. She was completely defenceless with a death eater coming down on her. She edged slowly backward trying to put space between them, and wondered if anyone was close enough to be able to hear her if she screamed.
"You can calm down. Its not like Im going to kill you." the figure said.
"Yeah, I'm so sure." she tried to say, but it came out as barely a whisper. She prayed to Merlin that the death eater wouldn't be able to see how hard she was trembling.
"A scared Gryffindor. Now that isn't something you see everyday." The death eater stalked towards her. "Get up then, there's no use cowaring. I have to bring you to the boss. God only knows why he would want a Weasley." he bent over and grabbed Ginny's arm, forcing her to stand up.
Ginny struggled against him. Wand or no, she wasn't going to go willingly into the lion's den.
"Don't be difficult, girl!" The man bellowed. Ginny kept fighting until she knocked off his mask. Grey eyes glared down at her, and she could see a glint of blond hair beneath his black hood.
"Malfoy" she sneered, feeling bile start to rise in her throat just at the thought of him.
"What intelligence." he mocked. "I must say you dissapoint me. I thought you'd give more of a fight. I really do feel like I've been away from the fight for too long though. I'm sure the Dark Lord would understand if I was forced to kill you because you were being just too uncooperative." he raised his wand level to Ginny's heart.
There was nothing she could do. Ginny shut her eyes tight and waited for it. She wouldn't beg or plead for mercy. She knew either way he would give none.
But nothing happened. There was no green light, no Avada Kadavra. Ginny opened her eyes to see that yet another robed figure had arrived.
"I don't believe you're orders were to kill the girl." the figure spat at Malfoy. "Crucio!"
The screams didn't stop. Ginny didn't know how long she stood there, watching the two death eaters before her. And she didn't know if she finally got tired and went to sleep, or if for some reason she passed out. All she knew was that everything went black.
AN: good? bad? horrible? Tell me how you feel. I'm not sure how long it will be until I update. Like I said, Im concentrating on Something to Write About more.
