Hey, well this is chapter 7 and I'm sure that we'll have more up soon because Erin and I have finally graduated! On to the adventures of high school. If you have any things to better our work please let us know. Thanks and enjoy. –Kat and Erin

Sorry that this was messed up the first time, I hope this one is better.

Megan looked around the room. "Caractacus Burke. We found his body in Knockturn Alley. We believe that he was the shopkeeper who found the wand." Megan sat down across from Ginny.

"Alright, so he has to have the wand but not all the power to it." Ginny looked around the table before standing and Apparating away from the home. The protection still wasn't up so she could come and go as she pleased, for now.

Ginny apparated into her living room, she had to get away from the Order for a little while. She sat down on the couch and looked around the empty room. She could never remember this house ever being so silent. There were always children running around or people apparating in and out, always breaking things.

A scratching sound could be heard from the kitchen, like an owl at the window. Ginny stood to go see what the noise was. It was an owl, as she had guessed, but it was also one that she had never seen. Its brown feathers ruffled and its black eyes seemed hollow. A letter was tied to its leg with the name "Potter" written on the front of the white paper.

She let the owl in and took the letter from its leg, and then as quickly as it had come the owl flew away. Ginny looked at the white parchment and tore open the envelope. The small smudged handwriting made it hard to read, but she made it out just barely. It read:

By now you must know that he has it - not the full power, but soon he will. He is taking refuge in the shop Borgin and Burkes. I am telling you this because I am watching him as I write and the chance for him to rise again is too great, it would be deadly for both of our sakes. Please, he won't expect an attack and you could get the Wand returned. –CW

Ginny put down the letter. Harry had instructed her to tell him if anything was found, but by the time she told him Voldemort might be gone. A surprise attack. She could do that; her magic was strong enough. What if this was trap, though, and who was CW? Wouldn't Voldemort just attack? Though he wouldn't send a letter...

Ginny decided that she might as well go and take care of the problem. He didn't have full power, so they had to be equal...maybe Ginny was a little more powerful...

Ginny looked around her home one last time before apparating to Knockturn Alley. The streets were dark as she walked towards the shop.

"Well, well look who came. We were hoping for Potter, but you will do just as well," Bellatrix sneered from a corner in the alley way.

"The letter was a trap. You knew someone would come," Ginny said, placing her hand firmly on her wand.

"Of course it was! Now that we have you, we can send word to little Harry. He comes and then the wand will be ours. Now, just for fun...EVERTE STATUM!" Before Ginny could react, the spell sent her flying from the ground onto the back wall of Borgin and Burkes. The pain seared as her head it the brick wall and she came back down to the wet ground.

"That should be good enough, because I can... ALARTE ASCENDARE!" Ginny went up 15ft in the air and came falling back down to earth painfully.

"Ahhh! EVERTE STATUM!" Ginny screamed. Bellatrix flew backwards against the grimy wall of another shop. Ginny tried to apparate but there was something preventing her from doing so. A blockage.

Bellatrix stood and pointed her wand at Ginny before shouting "CRUCIO!" Ginny crippled in pain and fell to the wet ground as the pain seared through her entire body.

"Now, now, Bella we don't want her to go insane, yet." Voldemort said from the doorway and as the words left his mouth the pain from the curse stopped.

Ginny look long, slow deep breaths; even though the pain had stopped, the feeling was still there. She couldn't apparate, and now she had to not only fight Bellatrix but also the Dark Lord himself.

"We can keep her here, but Potter isn't the true master of the wand." Voldemort said. Bellatrix looked shocked but kept her wand pointing directly at Ginny.

Just then the door to Borgin & Burkes burst open and out ran a clocked man or boy. He was short but his face was shrouded in darkness. He ran by the three people and up the alley, then disappeared.

"What should we do with her, then? We can always kill her," Bellatrix said with a smile about her lips hoping, for the approval from Voldemort to kill Ginny, painfully if she was lucky.

"No, no, Bella, we need to keep her alive and once we draw both parents away then it will be much easier to get to the boy." Ginny looked at Voldemort. How did he know?

As if he was reading her mind, he said, "You thought that I wouldn't find out. Who do you think I was talking to? They let me know exactly what I need to know. It's your oldest son, James, who is the master of this wand." He pulled out the Elder Wand.

Ginny had to get away. She stood with Bellatrix still pointing the wand at her. "Maybe you're wrong, but whatever the ending is, you won't get to my son. PROTEGO!" A shield came between Voldemort and Bellatrix and herself. Ginny ran up the alley way. Once she recognized the familiar streets of Diagon Alley, she quickly apparated back to Grimmuald Place.

Once Ginny was on the steps of the house, she realized that the home was still not protected. She walked into the entry hallway and looked at herself in a mirror. There was a wide gash at the top of her forehead to the right. A large scratch stretched across her cheek and her shoulder and were aching from when she had fallen.

It looked bad, but healing spells were never her specialty. Ginny walked into the dining room. Everyone she had left was still there, buried in their own conversations. Everyone, that is, except for one person who noticed her immediately, Lily Potter. She motioned for the kitchen, but Ginny held out her hand up to stop her.

Ginny looked around the room and coughed to get everyone's attention. "He knows."
