Chapter 4- Bellatrix Lestange

"What do you mean Hogwarts has been taken over? Surely they could handle everything up there."

"Apaarently not."

"Wait, you're not really considering going are you?"

"Of course I am. I thought I should just see if you wanted to join me before I did Ron."

"I'm deffinately going. We don't have any time to waste. Hermione I'll be back before you know it."

They apparated before Hermione could protest. Why hadn't they invited her? Just because she worked in the Department of Mysteries didn't mean she couldn't go with them. She always went with them.

She felt her stomach tighten. She knew something was wrong. Why hadn't she just said anything to Ron and Harry about it?

They wouldn't have believed her. They would say Voldemort is dead. There is nothing to worry about. You'll just have to get used to him being gone. She could hear Ron saying it inside her head.

But something was nagging at her. She just knew Ginny had the same feeling she did. Ginny had said something about it when they were getting ready for the wedding.

'Even though Voldemort is gone I'm still waiting for something to happen. I was all the way in America, but I could still feel that something wasn't right.'

Of course, what Ron would have said to her could have been just as true. It might still be true. But she didn't think so. Hermione made a decision and knew it was one neither Ron nor Harry would like. Wwll, especially Harry.

She apparated a few feet from the Burrow's front door. She saw that there were lights on in the kitchen so that is where she went. She didn't think now was the time for manners so she just walked in. Everyone began asking her questions.

"Ginny, I need to see you outside."

Ginny gave a nod and followed.

"So, I guess they left you behing too?"

"Not for long. We're going too."

Ginny smiled. "I like the way you think Hermione."

They both apparated just outside the Hogwarts gates. Ginny didn't say anything outloud but Hermione saw a silver animal she couldn't quite make out, go through the gates.

"I guess you've been studying alot in America."

"Yes, I thought that I might need it. I just had a feeling I guess."

"I know what you mean." They stood in silence and a few moments later the gates unlocked themselves and allowed them entrance. As soon as they were both inside the grounds, the gate sealed and locked itself once more.

"I wonder what could be going on here if they just let both of us in?"

"I don't know, but I don't think there is anything going on here at all. Unless, we're walking into a trap."

"No, I think you got it right the first time."

They both walked quickly to the front doors. Which again, opened themselves. They found there way to the gargoyle.

"Do you know the password?"

"No, but do you think McGonagall would have changed Dumbledore's old password?"

"Maybe not. Lemon Drop!" The gargoyle jumped ou tof the way and they both stepped onto the spiral staricase which took them both to the headmistesses office. The door was slightly ajar so they walked in. Ron and Harry were both siting across from McGonagall. They all looked at the girls as the walked.

"It is nice to see both of you. Although, I can tell you it was a complete waist of time. Now as I told Potter and Weasley, I can handle the safety of my school on my own."

"I thought that you could, but these two insisted something must be wrong."

Ron looked at her and she knew they were going to have a fight when they got back.

"So, why are you guys still here?"

"Well, of course they think I should consider letting them gaurd the castle. I do not find this to be necesarry. How do you feel about this Albus?"

Everyone turned their attention to the portrait of Dumbledore hanging on the wall. "I do find it odd that someone would send that message to Harry. However, I do not think it had anything to do with the school. I think it had more to do with Harry. Perhaps, you should get home, Harry and make sure everything is alright there."

Harry gave a nod and rushed out of the office. There wasn't anything at his home that would be any value to a Dark wizard. Was there? No, he was farely certain of that. He wouldn't have anything that was Dark and dangerous. Maybe they were setting up a trap for him? That seemed to be the most likely possibility.

Harry heard footsteps behind him and figured Ron was following him.

"It's okay, Ron go back to your honeymoon. I can handle things from here."

"Well too bad because I'm coming with you." Harry turned and saw Ginny smirking at him.

"Ginny, I don't know that it's a good idea for you to come with me."

"Why?"

Harry stopped for a moment. What could he say? That he wanted to keep her safe? She was a grown woman now!

"I just,think it would be better if you went to the Burrow to make sure everyone is okay there."

"Harry, I'm not stupid. Everyone at the Burrow besides the baby are fully qualified."

"Okay then, I don't want you to come because it could be a trap for me and I don't want you in it."

"When are you going to stop trying to protect me Harry?"

"I will never stop trying to keep you alive and safe. And it's now my job to do so. How would it look if you were hurt because I let you come with me on Auror business?"

"Fine, I won't come Harry, but you'll be suprised to find out just how much training I've been doing." When they came to the bottom of the steps Harry looked back at Ginny, but she wasn't there anymore.

When Ginny came back to the Burrow everyone was still in the kitchen waiting.

"Ginny is everything okay at Hogwarts?"

"Yes, it's fine actually. We think it might have been someone just trying to get the chance to get into Harry's home."

"For what?"

"I'm not sure."

"Ginny did you tell Harry why you haven't gone back to America?"

Ginny smirked. "No, but I'm sure he'll find it very suprising."

The family looked at each other but didn't say anything. They knew what the subject of Harry could do to Ginny. Not that at that moment it looked like she cared. She looked over joyed at the chance to suprise Harry.

Ginny cleared her throat. "You know, I think I'm goin gto go to bed. See you all in the morning."

Harry walked through his back door with caution. He couldn't tell i fsomeone was there from the outside because th elights had already been on. When he entered the kitchen he heard whispers coming form the dining room. He walked in with his wand ready only to find three wands pointed at him. This didn't scare him in the least.

The three figures were standing in front of him with black robes and Death Eaters' masks on.

"Didn't think you'd be hearing form me did you Potter?"

Harry knew the voice even before the man took his mask off. "Draco Malfloy, I thought that after I kept you out of Azkaban you'd be doing your best to stay out of trouble. Not trying to rally up the old Death Eaters are you? Surely you don't believe any of you would have a chance without Voldemort."

Draco sneered. "Actually Potter, I am here because of what you did to me. I owe you and I am here to make us even."

Harry realized this was the closest thing he was going to get to a thank you and gave a nod. "How can I trust you? And why is it your friends still have their masks on?"

"They don't need to take their masks off. And you don't have to trust me, but as you will have learned with Wormtail in the magical world it is very important to pay back your debts when that debt is your life."

"Fine, go ahead. I'll hear you out, but first why did you send that owl?"

"I couldn't risk being out in the open with this information. Would you have let me and my companions into your house if we showed up on your doorstep dressed as we were?"

"No, so fine explain what it is you have to tell me."

"There are many Death Eaters that are grouping back together. Me and my comrads decided that going undercover would be the best way to find things out. We didn't exspect to find out what we did. It turns out there is a particular member that had been promoting all there time to researching ways in which to bring certain members back from the dead. Who this is I don't know. I do know that they were successful."

"So you came here to tell me that the Death Eaters are forming an army of Inferi?"

"No, Potter I wouldn't be here if it was something like that. No, these beings are not dead or alive. Meaning as far as we know they are immortal. And I can tell by the look on your face what it is you are probably thinking, but no they didn't bring back He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. They chose to bring back what they thought to be the most loyal Death Eaters. I think they originally thought they would be in control of these beings, but it went wrong. Now it they, who are being controlled by their own creation."

"So, if they didn't bring back Voldemort, who could possibly be any worse than that?"

"I thought the same at first that was until I met these beings in person. As I said, they can't be killed as far as we know, so that's a task in itself. But they are also ruthless and have strength and skill I have never seen. And above all these beings are angry and want revenge. On anyone or anything that gets in their way."

"So, who is it?"

"Well, one of them has actually proven to be the same in life as in death. For this I can't tell you who it is. But don't worry they are not on the dark side. However the leader of the Death Eaters now is one of the most brutal and unbearing people I've ever been around."

"Okay, I'll ask again who is it?"

"Bellatrix Lestrange. And you and I know what she was like in life. She is more powerful than ever before and more ruthless. She wants you dead Potter. You and everyone else that ever tried to stop her. This is where I take my leave. You can decide what to do with all of this information. Although I do ask that you keep the people you tell of my visit to a short number. I can't say if I will be back, but someone surely will." Malfloy put his mask back on and walked out of the front door. Harry watched as they disapparated just outside of the gate. He wondered how they had gotten in, but he knew this wasn't the most important thing. He needed to get to Burrow and get Order members together and then he needed to get to Ron and Hermione.

Ginny heard shouting downstaris and quickly rushed down the stairs. She had been so happy about what she had to tell Harry that she couldn't even sleep.

She found all of the Order members left after the war standing or sitting in the kitchen. A rather tired looking Harry was standing beside a stern looking McGonagall.

"Oh, Ginny dear I'm glad you are here."

"Actually mum", Ron began Ginny just noticing him standing beside Hermione, "Ginny, shouldn't be here. She'll be going back to America soon and she'll be safe there. There is no need to get her involved in this."

"Actually, Ronald you are wrong. I won't be going back to America. Actually, I'll be staying here and working for the Ministry."

Harry racked his brain and immediately hoped that Ginny hadn't taken on the job both he and Ron had turned down.

"Doing what?"

"I'm going to be the Head of the Auror Office. And in case you are to much of a git to figure out what that means I'll tell you. I am staying here to take a post as you and Harry's boss."

A/N: Bet none of you were exspecting that!!! Well, I decided it would be a nice change to let Ginny be in charge for once and also I had to create some sort of Dark thinkgs goin gon otherwise it's be completly boring because there'd be no reason Ginny and Harry couldn't just get together. Anyway review please!!!!!
