Prologue

A Broken Cabinet

"NOW!"

Ginny instantly turned her wand to the side and shouted "REDUCTO!" with the others. Five jets of light sped towards the walls of prophecies and exploded as they hit. Hundreds of glass balls were thrown into the air, plummeting down upon the group.

Shattered glass fell like rain, scratching Ginny's face and arms. Swirling, ghostly figures of fortune tellers and Seer's wafted up through the broken glass. So many voices. All talking at once. Telling so many futures it was almost impossible to see or hear anything else.

Almost.

"RUN!"

Harry's voice roared above the rest. Ginny internally shook herself and took off behind Hermione and Neville. She held a hand in the air above her and her wand in front. Sending out spells at anyone who reached for her.

Then Ron was there. His breath rattling through him, and Luna, practically gliding. Not even breaking a sweat. Up ahead Hermione Stupefied a Death Eater that tried to grab Harry. The Death Eater stumbled away, swearing under his breath.

Ginny, Ron and Luna rocketed past Hermione. They turned left and found a door. Ron shouldered it open and cursed loudly. The entire room was made up of planet models. They floated seamlessly in the air around and above their heads. Luna smiled wistfully.

"Well this is strange."

Ginny turned to sprint back the other way, but it was blocked but Malfoy, Bellatrix and two other, still masked Death Eaters. Luna stared at them with her usually loopy half smile. That girl had some serious courage.

"Are you going to try and stop us?"

Bellatrix threw her head back and laughed. "We're going to do more than try! Crucio!"

The spell hit Luna with enough force to knock her off her feet. She landed hard on the ground and began to twitch, but didn't make a single sound.

"Stupefy!" Ron bellowed. Bellatrix could barely take a breath before she was hurled off her feet and further into the stacks, taking another Death Eater with her. Ron smirked and turned to Malfoy.

"Back off Malfoy or I will hex you."

Malfoy's smile dropped slightly. His eyes came to rest on Ginny, she shuddered under his cold grey gaze. When his eyes went back to Ron, his grin was renewed.

"I highly doubt that Weasley seeing how I have much more fighting experience than you."

Ron's brave look faltered. Ginny kept her wand aimed at the faceless one, but edged slowly toward Luna. The Ravenclaw was still twitching, but her eyes were open and they locked and Ginny gave her a short nod. Luna's fingers tightened around her wand and she moved it ever so slightly in Malfoy's direction.

"Hey morons," He turned his attention to Ginny, who felt a cruel smile cut across her face. "Stupefy!"

The spell hit Malfoy and his faceless friend and they flew off their feet, landing heavily a few feet away. Ginny and Ron helped Luna up and they started to run. The faceless Death eater reach out and grabbed Ginny's ankle, she felt herself pitch forward as Luna cried, "Reducto!".

Ginny's ankle snapped with a sickening crack and she toppled sideways, bending her foot the wrong way. She screamed. Pain reverberating through her entire leg. Ron caught her around the waist and kept her upright. He whispered harshly in her ear,

"Are you okay?"

She nodded even though she knew she wasn't. A few metres ahead Bellatrix was stalking toward them. Her lips began to move but Ginny didn't hear what she was saying. Purple sparks shot from her wand and soared straight at Ron.

He stumbled back and tripped. Ginny kept one hand on the wall and limped as fast as she could toward the door back to the rotating room. White light flew past her and blasted Bellatrix back again. They ran as fast as they could, but there was something wrong with Ron. He kept giggling and falling behind.

"There it is!"

Luna shouted. She grabbed Ginny by the arm and dragged her forward Ron stumbling behind them. The door got closer until Ginny pointed at it,

"BOMBARDA!" It blew inwards and the three of them crashed through.

"Ron! Ginny– are you all–" Harry came dashing toward them. Past him Ginny could see Neville and Hermione, expect Hermione didn't even look conscious.

"Harry," Ron giggled and pitched forward, grasping the front of Harry's robes and staring into his friends face. "There you are… ha ha ha… you look funny, Harry… you're all messed up…"

His knees gave way, pulling Harry down with him. Harry cast a fearful glance at Ginny.

"Ginny, what happened?"

She shook her head. The pain in her ankle was getting too much. She slid down the wall and clutched it, wishing the pain away. Luna hovered over her, deeply concerned.

"I think her ankles broken, I heard something crack," She whispered, "Four of them chased us into a dark room full of planets; it was a very odd place, some of the time–"

"Harry, we saw Uranus up close!" Cried Ron, still giggling uncontrollably, "Get it Harry? We saw Uranus– ha ha ha –" Lune continued as if Ron had never spoken.

"Anyway, one of them grabbed Ginny's foot, I used the Reductor Curse and blew Pluto up in his face, but…"

Luna gestured helplessly at Ginny, whose leg felt like it was one fire. She squeezed her eyes shut and focused on breathing.

"What about Ron?" Harry asked.

"I don't know what they hit him with," Luna replied, "But he's gone a bit funny, I could hardly get him along at all."

Ginny opened her eyes and saw Ron lean toward Harry and whisper to him, only to start giggling again. She cast her gaze to Neville, who had remained silent next to Hermione. Harry pushed Ron back a bit and looked at Luna.

"We've got to get out of here. Can you help Ginny?"

"Yes," Luna instantly stuck her wand behind her ear and an arm around Ginny's waist and pulled her up. Frustration bubbled up inside her, she didn't need any help.

"It's only my ankle, I can do it myself!" Even as she said it she was tilting sideways. She grabbed Luna just to stay upright. Harry had Ron and was pulling him toward a door when the door next to Luna and Ginny burst open and Bellatrix Lestrange sped in, closely followed by two other Death Eaters.

"There they are!" She screeched. In and attempted to pull her wand out, Ginny stumbled back into Harry, who released Ron to catch her. Stunning spells went flying across the room. The others started to run, but a Death Eater was blocking Ginny and Harry's way. Harry pointed his wand, but the older wizard was faster.

"STUPEFY!" Both of them were lifted off their feet and thrown backwards.

People were calling their names, but it was too late. They crashed through a door and collided with the floor on the other side. Harry groaned but started to pull himself and Ginny up. She had to lean heavily on him, but Harry didn't seem to care, he was busy flicking his gaze from the door they'd just coming through (Which was now swarming with Death Eaters) to what appeared to be a man with a baby's head screaming in the corner.

She let herself take in the room. It was more of a hall really, with several doors branching off into different parts of the ministry. There was a cabinet on the wall behind them that appeared to be shattering then repair itself. Ginny knew what was inside, her father had told her about it when she was younger when she asked how a Time Turner worked.

"Come on, we have to get back to the others." Ginny nodded in agreement, but stopped dead as a figure stepped out of the room ahead of them. She recognized his from the wanted posters that were up everywhere. Rodolphus Lestrange. His wand was pointed directly at Harry. Before either of them could lift their own, they were blasting once again. Only they didn't crashing into the wall of Time Turners as Ginny had expected.

Harry and Ginny were thrown backwards into the glass fronted cabinet which cracked , but they still didn't hit the wall behind. Instead, Ginny felt a strange tingling sensation going through her entire body just as she cried out. One of Harry's arms was still around her, and it tightened as the pair were sent plummeting into darkness.

This was basically just for context. It gets way more interesting next chapter... I think... Anyway, don't forget to review!
