Chapter Twenty-One; Ginny's Revenge

Gee thanks! I'm glad you're a fan and love these stories as much as I do! Love you guys (my entire fan base) and enjoy the next chapter!

After history of magic class was over, (surprisingly Professor Binns didn't give them any homework) Harry told Ron and Hermione what he had found out. "You mean you think that Voldemort is after the Elder wand?" Ron questioned.

"That would make sense." Hermione began as they continued walking down the hallway together. "I mean according to the legend of the Deathly Hallows, it's supposed to be the most powerful wand in the world." She said. "And I think I remember reading somewhere that two identical wands can't kill the other one's owner." She told them.

"Thanks Hermione, any more happy thoughts that you would like to share with me?" Harry asked her sarcastically before she came to a stop in front of them.

"Yes as a matter of a fact. Harry, you already have the invisibility cloak and I think you've got the resurrection stone too." She told him.

"What are you talking about?" he asked her.

"Remember the Snitch that Dumbledore left for you in his will?" she asked him as he nodded.

"Yeah, what about it?" he asked her.

"What if he hid it inside of it? I mean Ron's deluminator ended up becoming very useful. It was like Dumbledore knew that he would need to use it to get back to us. What if the Snitch has the resurrection stone in it?" she inquired as Harry was about to tell her that it still didn't matter to him since Jesus was the only one who could really bring back people from the dead when suddenly Snape stepped outside his classroom.

"Well? Are you three just going to stand around talking all day or are you going to come to class?" he asked them.

"Sorry Snape." Ron began. "We just learned about the Deathly Hallows in history of magic and Hermione has a new theory." He explained.

"Well go ahead, you can tell me on the way." He said.

"On the way to where?" Ron asked him.

"Well, I am your defense against the dark arts teacher aren't I? And right now I think matters with the dark lord is far more important than anything you can learn inside the classroom." He told him as he started leading them to his office while they hurried after him to keep up.

"You see the thing is Professor, I think the resurrection stone is hidden inside the Snitch that Dumbledore gave to Harry. And Harry thinks that Voldemort is after the Elder wand." Hermione told him.

"That's because he's right, he is. And I'm not sure about your theory but I think that there's a very good chance that you're right about that as well." Snape told her before unlocking his office door and leading them inside. "Look." He said as he picked the Daily Prophet up off his desk and handed it to Harry. Harry looked down at the front page and realized that it was a picture of Bellatrix Lestrange.

"How the heck did that woman make the front page!?" Ron yelled with complete and utter astonishment and disbelief.

"It says that somebody tried to break into her vault." Harry said before glancing back up at his father. "Is that where the second horcrux is hidden? Gringotts?" he questioned him.

"Well, yes and no. It's actually the fourth horcrux. You already destroyed the diary and the locket and Dumbledore already destroyed the ring." Snape replied.

"So that's why Dumbledore was so sick before he died." Hermione realized as Snape nodded.

"Alright so the next horcrux is at Gringotts, how exactly are we going to get there and how will we know what we're supposed to be looking for?" Ron wondered.

"Well right now I'm afraid that there isn't anything that we can do so we won't have to worry about it anyway. I'll write to both your families and say that I'm inviting you over for Christmas during the holidays. Then we'll search for the horcrux before attending our annual Christmas Eve services and Christmas dinner." He explained. "That is as long as it isn't a problem." He added.

"No of course not." Hermione told him with a quick shake of her head. "I mean I've never been to church before but I'd like to go. In fact, Ron were just talking to each other night how we're interested in getting baptized." She said.

"Yeah, that way if Voldemort kills us we'll go to Heaven." Ron said as Harry laughed.

"You don't have to be baptized to get into Heaven." He began. "I believe all you have to do is follow the Ten Commandments and love each other." He told him.

"Yeah thanks I know Mister Sunday school teacher I was joking." Ron said. "Anyway, if there isn't anything else that we can do right now then why did you bring us here?" he wondered while glancing back up at Snape.

"Because believe it or not I still need your help. You see Hermione, I was wondering if you could go into the library and_" he began.

"Sure! I'm on it!" she exclaimed before she quickly rushed out of the room.

"She didn't even give me time to finish." Snape said.

"Snape, you just asked Hermione Granger to go to the library. That's like telling a kid he can have anything he wants in a candy store." He said before he and Harry exchanged glances and busted out laughing while Snape just simply grinned and stifled a laugh.

…

Later on that afternoon, Harry, Ron, and Hermione met Ginny and Tobey for lunch. "So Tobey, how's life at Hogwarts so far?" Ron asked him as all three of them sat down at the table.

"It's great, but I can't believe how much homework I have already! I have do a potions essay for Slughorn, make a stack of books levitate all the way a crossed the room for Flitwick, and do a report about the sneakoscope for Binns." He said.

"Welcome to Hogwarts kid you better get used to it." Ron told him.

"You have to levitate a pile of books a crossed the room for Flitwick?" Harry questioned him.

"Eventually. He wants us to try and levitate a feather first." Tobey told him.

"Well that makes more sense since he had us do the same thing when we first came to Hogwarts." Ron told him.

"Oh by the way, Mum's really excited that I made Gryffindor and Teddy and Heather had a great birthday party." Tobey said turning over to look at Harry.

"Great, how's Eve?" Harry asked him.

"She's still ticked off that Mum won't give her a pony. Then when she went on my laptop even after Mum told her not to she grounded her." He said as he, Harry, and Ron grinned.

"Boy, I sure wish I could see what she'll be like when she comes to Hogwarts. I don't think that it's ready for her yet." Ron said.

"Oh that reminds me!" Tobey exclaimed before passing a piece of paper over to him. "Look what Ginny wrote." He said as Harry and Ron silently read it to themselves.

Dear Draco Malfoy, (YOU DEVILISH EVIL BASTARD!)

You are one of the biggest pieces of shit that that I have ever met in my life! For at least when Harry dies he'll go to Heaven, but when you die I don't think that even the devil himself will want you! And if you ever start saying bad things about Harry or his father again, I'll perform my boogey hex on you before turning you into a warty old toad!

Warmest regards, Ginny Weasley

Ron glanced back up at his sister and tried to hold back his laughter. "Warmest regards? This letter is basically saying that you're going to rip his throat out." He said.

"Well I don't care! That foul git deserves it!" she exclaimed as Harry laughed.

"Thanks Ginny, I appreciate that you want to try and stand up for me. But I think it would be better if you tried to be the better person and turn the other cheek." He told her.

"Boy you sound like a Sunday school teacher already." Ron told him.

"No that's ok," Ginny began. "if Malfoy wants to try and challenge me to a duel I will kindly show him what a better person I am than him!" she cried before she grabbed her note back and turned around and walked away.
