Chapter 1

The war at Hogwarts has been over for three days now and one of the twins has died along with both Tonks and Lupin. Dobby died earlier this year when he saved us (Ron, Hermione, Luna, , and I) from Bellatrix Lestrange. That was when we had gone back to the Malfoy manner in order to rescue Luna and Ollivander, after my wand was broken and I had to use Hermione's. Mrs. Weasly is trying to be tough after killing Bellatrix Lestrange when she tried to kill Ginny. ~Thank Merlin for 's haven done that. I couldn't bear it anymore without Ginny. Ron's obviously a mess with one brother dead and the other seriously injured. Right after he had to cope with the twin who's living losing his ear to a death eater. Everyone's having a rough time. Neville, Luna and Professor McGonagall are officially staying with us now at the Order's Headquarters.

So many people; so many students died and I feel like it's my entire fault, like I let them all down. Ginny keeps telling me to stop thinking that because it isn't true but I can't help thinking it. After everything they've all stood by me through and given up to be my friend and to help me, I've let them down doing the one thing no one else can do.

We thought we found all of the horecruxes but we didn't. Hermoine told us getting into Hogwarts too soon wasn't a good idea but I wouldn't listen. Now with our defenses so weakened and Voldemort having so much power we don't stand a chance. I'm sure he got some students afraid out of their minds to join him in return for life. He's growing from this and we're shrinking.

Now to add to the crisis has just informed me that she cannot find Ginny. So here I am trapped in the house while others look because they say I'm too valuable to let out right now. Was I dreaming that I am her boyfriend? Oh yes, I did break up with her at the end of our sixth year, but she's always known it was so Voldemort wouldn't get her to bait me in. She knew it was never because my feelings had changed hadn't she?

Turning on my heels I sigh placing my hand over the scar on my forehead. Harry Potter: the boy who lived, our chosen one. Well I don't feel that special as of now. Letting out a frustrated huff I hear a knock at the door and open it. Everyone. They all look terribly sad. No. What has happened to Ginny?

It takes ten minutes for everyone to answer the questions I must ask to make sure its them and not some death eater with a polyjuice potion.

"I don't know what to say Harry." Hermione says looking apologetic.

suddenly is very passionate, "there is nothing to say! Everyone is to get ready and then we're going to the Malfoy manor and we are saving My Ginny and bringing her home. First I have to kill Lestrange—does her not understand that my children will not be destroyed by this war? We will kill him! All of them if we have to." She said heartedly.

The only other time I saw this excited was during the war when she killed the woman who killed my Godfather some two or three years ago. We all nod, "Yes Mrs. Weasly." Every Ron forgot to say Mum. Turning I go up the stairs and shove a replenishing potion in my pocket just in case pulling out the box of extra wands. I was made aware that while Hermoine, Ron and I were gone the Order successfully saved a muggle town and kept wands from death eaters they beat. I can hear Hermione speaking soothingly to Ron.

"Ginny will be alright Ron. We're going to save her. We've beaten the odds before. Bloody hell Ron where's all that stubbornness from before? She'll be al—"

"Let's go!" yelled up from the bottom of the steps and we all hurried down. "Harry, Ron, Hermione, you three will find Ginny and bring her back the rest of us with keep the path clear for you and fight off the death eaters." He told us we all nodded. Ron's eyes were still red.

As we exited the house I could hear , "If there's a God, let my little girl be alright."

The trio dissaparated hearing the pops that signaled the arrival of the others and then giving a stiff nod Harry led them to the side and let the group go first. They hid behind a bush waiting for a whistle to say they could go in now. Then they'd mostly be on their own.

"Stupify!"—"Confundo!"—"Sectum Sempra!"—"Expeliarmus!"

The spells and hexes being thrown were all audible from their hiding spot and Harry looked over at Ron. "This is my fault…" he mumbled. Voldemort wouldn't have taken Ginny had it not been for Harry's attachment. ~Little did he know Ron thought voldemort took her because she was his sister and he'd killed a fair amount of his deatheaters during the war at Hogwarts.

Then the whistle came, time to get going.

The manor looked completely different. There were many more rooms than there had been before. So many more they were almost lost. They were on the east side of the manor which must have gotten a charm put on it to expand the inside of the building.

"Harry we need to get in a room and think this out." Hermione whispered to him. Harry nodded and they ducked into a room where the door was cracked open. They guessed the deatheaters were in a meeting because none of them were lagging around as usual. So far they'd only had to get rid of a few. A disillusion charm was over them along with a muffling charm.

From the rack the room had seemed empty but after entering Ron pinched Harry nudging his head over to a girl who was sitting on a black sofa reading a large book. The room was a library, not the Malfoy library though because Harry had seen it before and it was green. Was it possible that this was her library? Hermione looked back at Harry lifting her wand and then looked back to the girl. She'd didn't look like she could tell they were there and while reading she didn't look harmful, but they'd have to stun her just to be sure.

Than just as Hermione was about to cast the spell the girl stood turning to their direction and spoke, "Expeliarmus." She didn't have a wand in her hand and in fact was still holding the book she had been reading at her side. How had she known they were there?

Harry looked down at himself, they were still invincible.

"Revelacio." The girl said and their charm faded revealing them and both and Ron pulled out their wands pointing them straight at her.

"We don't want to hurt you." Harry said. Why kill someone when you don't have to do so? I am not like voldemort, I do not enjoy others pain.

The girls eyes widened and she threw her book to the side and pushed them into a wardrobe that from first glance looked like a bookshelf. Before closing it she gave Harry a sharp glance.

Who was this death eater helping them?
