Prologue: Let us begin towards the end.
How did it come to this? Dumbledore stared at the girl before him, her long red hair obscuring her face as she sat, bound and motionless, at his feet. She hadn't moved from her position for several hours. At first, she had kicked and screamed as she was dragged into the Order Of the Phoenix holding cell. She was almost as deadly without a wand as she was with one, as Dumbledore's bloodied troops could attest to, but now, she sat as silent as the dead, only the steady clenching and unclenching of her bound fists alerting him that she was still conscious.
"Your parents have been very worried about you." Dumbledore said finally, voice loud in the unforgiving silence of the cell. The girl before him made no move to respond, showing no sign that she had heard his words. "What you have done… What your people are still doing, it has torn your family apart, not to mention others, your mother-" the girl didn't look up, but laughed from where she sat, the first sound she had made in several hours. Dumbledore briefly let his mind flicker to the girl at eleven, wide eyed with a hopeless crush on a boy who she had never spoken to. A girl who would've been terrified to see what she had become. "You have hurt innocent people in these years." he said, his voice so tired, "Good people." The girl drummed her fingers against the floor gently.
"Good people," she murmured, contemplative, "Good people that condemn children? That leave my friends bloodied and broken on the battlefield? Yes…" she paused, "I suppose I have killed good people." she laughed again, and Dumbledore felt his age upon his shoulders, they had been fighting so long, he could hardly remember a time when his world wasn't torn apart by war.
"Why are you here, Ms Weasley?" he asked suddenly, "I don't suppose you actually got captured, did you? With your track record, you could have taken out every official we sent for you, so, why are you here?" Ginevra Weasley's hands stilled in their movement.
"Clever little man!" She said, brown eyes almost black as she looked up at him for the first time. There was a hint of amusement in her gaze that Dumbledore recognised having seen in the eyes of her twin brother's, "I thought you might catch on eventually. No, I wasn't 'captured'." Her face glowed eerily in the dim light, the pale shadow of a scar running down her left cheek as she smiled up at him, sharp white teeth flashing, "I should really be thanking your for your kind invitation into your headquarters, this journey has been very enlightening."
"We found all of the tracking devices you had on your person, this cell is warded against apparition, Portkeys and any other form of travel you could think of. I think your plan may have fallen flat, Ms Weasley." Dumbledore said, but already he could feel a sense of foreboding creeping into his bones.
"For someone so 'wise'" she spat out the adjective like an insult, "you know so little, old man." As she spoke, her wrists began to glow, the ropes holding her crumbling into nothing, before the cell wall behind her exploded with a crash, and all hell began to rain down upon the Order of the Phoenix.
Ginevra Weasley stepped away from Dumbledore, arms wide as she tumbled backwards, free falling for a few blissful seconds, before an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close.
"You stink." came her hero's mutter into her hair, Ginny laughed,
"You try being locked away in a tiny cell for hours on end." Harry laughed at that and the sky flashed with lightening as he swooped in a loop through the sky, broom an extension of his limbs. She laughed in joy before asking,
"Shall we join the others?" nodding towards the flashing lights and shrieks now resonating from the Order building,
"Of course, my love, don't want them to have all the fun!" Harry said, before he swooped into the building, passing her her wand with a flourish, the two most wanted criminals of the wizarding world ran down to fight alongside their friends, in a battle that would go down in History books and be remembered for years to come…
Ok, So that was the prologue. I know it was really short, and all of my future chapters will be significantly longer then this.
