Bit of a longer chapter this time :)

This chapter name comes from the song 'Six Degrees of Seperation' by The Script, this chapter was hard to find a song and this one isn't perfect but it's a good song and suits Ginny.

Chapter 4 - And The Third Is When Your World Splits Down The Middle.

"Neville, Luna, can we talk? It's important." I ask with a pleading face and they must see something in my eyes because they follow me out of the Great Hall without asking a thing.

I don't talk until we reach our tree by the lake. It's where me and Harry used to come so all the memories come flooding back but I have to push them out of my mind for the moment because I'm doing this for him, with or without Neville and Luna.

"In his will Dumbeldore left Harry the sword of Godric Gryffindor but Scrimgeour wouldn't give it to him because apparently it belongs to the school and it wasn't Dumbeldores to give to Harry."

"That's outrageous" cried Neville an Luna in unison. They were so made for each other. "Can he even do that?" asked Neville.

"I don't know but I'm going to steal it out of Snape's office for Harry."

"I'm in" stated Luna. "Me too" said Neville. "Only if you're sure?" I asked but the only reply I got was a look that said 'seriously, of course we're in'

A week later we have enough planning done. When Snape sits down for dinner with the Carrows either side of him I know we have our chance. I look at Neville and he knows too so we get the attention of Luna and race to the Room of Requirement. There we quickly go over our plan and leave for Snapes office.

When we get to the stone gargoyle that guards the entrance we start to rattle off a list of words that we think might be the password. After three or four guesses Luna says "Albus" and when the gargoyle moves me and Neville stare at each other then at Luna. This was not a word that had come up in our long conversations about the password. When she sees our stunned faces she dreamily says "Just something that popped into my head, maybe I should thank the Nargles" and starts to ascend the stairs. Neville gives me a 'Merlin she's brilliant' look and we follow her.

By the time we reach the top of the stairs I've gained enough composure to carry out our plan that took all week to come up with but that all goes up in flames when I see the sword gleaming in a glass case between the portraits of Albus Dumbledore and Armando Dippet but now there's the task of trying to open the case. We try everything we can think of, even muggle techniques such as simply opening the front of it but there's no hinges in sight so that wont work. We try all the spells we can think of including 'Accio'.

Then it just comes to me like 'Albus' came to Luna. She'd thank the Nargles but I just thank logic and common sense. "I have it!" I exclaim "Stand back, this could get messy". Neville and Luna step back a few paces and I say "Diffindo" and the Severing charm does its work, cutting the glass of the case right down the middle.

"Well done Ginny but kind of messy don't you think?" asked Neville. "Don't worry, I have a plan." I smiled back and he waved a hand as if to say 'Well then carry out your plan, we're wasting time standing around talking.'

I took the sword down off the wall and tried to remember the spell Hermione thought the D.A two years ago. It took me a few minutes and a "Hurry up for Merlin's sake" from Neville. Then I looked over at Professor Dumbledore smiling face and it came to me. I pointed my wand at the sword that Harry saved my life with in the Chamber of Secrets all those years ago and said "Geminio". All of a sudden an almost perfect duplicate of the amazing sword flew out of the real one onto the ground. I promptly put this on the wall and tapped the shards of glass littering the floor and said "Reparo". They flew back together and the glass case looked like it hadn't been touched at all with the duplicate sword inside it and the real one in my hand.

"Lets get out of here guys before Snape's finished his dinner". The three of us begin descending the stairs as quiet as we can. About half way down I notice a familiar thin, sallow-skinned man with a hooked nose and greasy hair. 'Oh Merlin, were done for' is the only thing going through my head as he skulks out of the shadows.

"Well, well, well, Weasley, what have we got here. Oh and Longbottom and Lovegood aswel. Having a little party were we?" He droned, there's no other word to describe it. None of us reply and then he notices the gleaming sword in my hand and says " Well what have you there Weasley. Spit it out. What were you doing in my office?"

"We were...um...we were just..." No excuses come to me so I just trail off not answering the question. I look over at the others, Luna's off in her own world and Neville's looking worriedly at her. I know neither of them will say anything so I don't. Maybe if we don't say anything the punishment will be less severe.

"Turn around and walk up to my office...now" Snape didn't shout, he didn't even sound angry or surprised or anything. He may as well have said 'Can you pass me the pumpkin juice'. I just hope he doesn't call the Carrows, they're awful and Merlin only know the injuries they might inflict on us.

We climb the stairs as slowly as we can trying to suspend the inevitable, Snape doesn't even seem to notice. When we reach the top of the stairs the three of us turn around to face the man we all despise. He looks us each in the eye and conjours three chairs. "Sit." Now he just sounds bored. For some reason he seems to be looking at Dumbledore's portrait but then again it could just be the glass case ditting beside it. "How did you get the sword?"

"I just used a Severing charm, the Geminio curse and a Repairing spell." I sneered. I'm not afraid of him. He can hurt me all he wanted. Physical pain helps. It takes away from the pain in my chest. It's a constant pain. I actually wish for pain now, I know Harry would be dissappointed but he's the one who left me here. I know it was for my own good but I want to bring down Voldemort as much as he does and I'm not afraid of dying plus I can't live my life without him, I can't.

"Think you're smart, you're nothing but a child and if this has something to do with Potter and defeating the Dark Lord it'll never work, he's no more an adult than you are" Snape sneered back. All of a sudden I feel thick binding ropes tying my ankles, wrists and torso to the chair and when I look over the same thing's happening to Neville and Luna. "Stay here, I'll be back later."

As I sit my mind begins to wander. Mainly I think of Harry but I think of my family and Hermione too. She has been my best friend for a long time now and I miss her. As much as we fought I miss Ron and worry about him. Bill and Fleur are still in the 'happily married' stage. Charlie is in Romania so he's mainly safe from Voldemort. Even though our family are blood-traitors Percy is safe enough at the Ministry. Fred and George: life is still one big joke to them but they're smart, they know their stuff. Then there's Harry, I worry about and miss him so much that there's actually a physical pain in my chest and when there isn't I just feel dead.

It must be hours later when Snape re-enters the room, after I have gone through every moment I spent with Harry. And as he does all I can think is 'I love you Harry James Potter and no matter what happens I'll be with you in your heart and I did this for you. I love you. I love you. I love you.'

Then Snape says "You will serve detention tomorrow night, the three of you must report to my office at 9 p.m sharp." Wait did he really say that? A wide varity of things could happen in detention but nothing we can't handle. Relief floods through my body as the ropes slide back into the chair and I stand up.

As the three of us walk out of the room I notice Phineas Nigellus walk out of his painting, but I don't pay much attention to him, he's probably only going to 12 Grimmauld place and I'm too full of relief to think further into it as I walk towards the Gryffindor common room with Neville, unable to wait to get into bed.

What do you think, please review :)
