On the otherside of Blue fire

Why had it taken all summer for him to finally speak to her? What were the objects for? Why are they so special? Would I ever see him again? All these thoughts steered through Ginny Weasley's mind, as she wondered through the the small field behind her house.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had disappeared three days earlier. After Bills wedding the three of them had constantly been leaving. However this time they hadn't even mentioned when they were returning, or whether they would write. There had only been mysteriously sad looks on their faces. The evening before they left Harry had taken her aside and told her that he loved her. Then quickly kissed her and thrust a heavy looking locket and a small brown paper bag into her hands.

" I didn't want to give this to you", He had said gravely " but I have no choice, keep it safe, if anyone finds it then everything is lost"

The three of them had left immediately afterwards, leaving a strange enigma locked in Ginny's mind. Then again, almost everything about Harry was a mystery by itself. The objects had been a heavy golden locket, pieces of a mirror, the marauders map, and a tiny chest that could only fit into ones palm. Why had he given her the marauders map?

Suddenly, as she ventured closer to clean up her mess the entire hedge went ablaze with a strange blue fire! Now, what could that be? As she moved closer, Ginny realized that she could see images of people in the fire. They were distant and vague, but still visible. She stepped forward and was suddenly zapped into the fire!

The flames weren't hot at all. On the contrary they gave off a rather cold breeze. She went through them almost immediately, and fell down on a soft patch of grass.

"I am going to KILL those twins", she remarked angrily, "what kind of a joke is this"

She turned around to see that she was on the quiditch pitch at Hogwarts, and staring at her were three startled looking marauders!
