Chapter twenty one

'Okay, Samuel and Oliver have gone with the other one under the imperius curse,' Harry said the moment he stepped inside, but Ginny launched herself at him, hugging him tight, 'You hug like your mum sweetheart.'

'I'd let her Harry, she hasn't stop twisting her ring since you took off,' Kingsley gave him a small smile.

'It all went according to plan, come on Gin,' Harry sat down and pulled Ginny onto his lap, 'Okay Kingsley, spit it out, who told you about the animagus beetle and that they have been sitting on Rosemary this whole time?'

'Okay, when we questioned this person, a death eater, we used veritaserum and techniques aurors learn, we found out he never wanted to be one. He was forced and was scared he was going to be killed. Every time he had to perform a task that Voldemort assigned him, he usually had some other death eater with him to make sure he did it. That has been going on since Voldemort returned that night in the graveyard. He acted the part well, he even fooled his father and Severus.'

'Oh you've got to be kidding me,' Harry said looking stunned, 'You can't trust that little ferret.'

'Malfoy?' Ron said just as stunned as Harry.

'Yes, Draco Malfoy. He never wanted to do any of it and we got the full truth out of him. So we made a deal with him, he went back, pretending to be a death eater, but reported to me only, if he helped catch some of the death eaters, he goes free. We used to meet in Ab's pub, but I wasn't me, I was a death eater called Collins. As far as every other death eater thought, he escaped that night, but we actually found his body in the Forbidden Forest. So we kept it hidden in case it might come in handy. You don't have to look so worried Harry, he really didn't want to do any of it. That night, in the room of requirement, he was ordered to stop you getting inside and Crabbe and Goyle were supposed to make sure he followed through. Why do you think he never told Bellatrix or his father it was you at his home that time.'

'I knew he recognised me, blimey, Malfoy on our side. So has he been able to find out anything about Ginny?'

'No, so I think Ron's right, its students, kids of death eaters. Samuel, Oliver and I have been discussing this a lot, me, we can understand, I was an auror and now Minister, so the death eaters would want me out of the way. You, we just think they don't like you and want to hurt you because you did kill Voldemort, you basically ruined their lives, so they want to ruin yours. I hinted around with Malfoy, none of them have said anything about you, Ginny, or you're friends.'

'Okay, if they aren't planning it and it is students, have you been able to get a list of who might be the kids of death eaters at Hogwarts this year?'

'Yes, there's twelve, one we think was like Malfoy, forced. So those twelve will be the one's we're going to watch carefully.'

'I also duplicated the map,' Harry waved his hand and summoned his pouch, pulling out a small pile of parchments, 'If me, you, Ginny, Oliver, Samuel, Hermione and Ron all have a copy, at least we can keep an eye on them.'

'Great, that'll help. Now one more thing about Malfoy, if he hears anything, it will be to suspicious for him to speak with the aurors, he will speak to me if he can, if he can't he did say he will try and give you the look he gave you at his home, it's a signal to meet him in that bathroom, he said you'd know the one he meant. He knows he won't be able to say anything to you as I've told him you'll be there as an auror in training, so he knows you have to be treated like Oliver and Samuel.'

'Me, he wants to meet with me, we hate each other Kingsley.'

'He actually respects you, doesn't like you though.'

'Oh and here I thought I was so lovable to everyone,' Harry chuckled.

'You are to me,' Ginny smirked, then started to kiss Harry's neck, making him groan softly, 'Taste good too.'

'Um Ginny, do that to Harry and we won't finish this meeting,' Kingsley smiled.

'Yeah Ginny, can you leave that for when we're alone.'

'I can do that.' she pretended to move so she could get more comfortable, but saw Harry close his eyes for a minute, making her laugh.

'Ginny, behave yourself,' Molly said to her daughter, 'If you want to sneak off to Harry's place later tonight, fine, but we do not need to see any of it.'

Harry chuckled, 'You weren't very good at sneaking away, were you sweetheart.'

'It wasn't that Harry, we just know our daughter and also saw the looks going on between you two, but since you are engaged, we expected it.'

'You let them?' Ron blurted out.

'They are getting married Ron.'

Harry and Ginny saw the shocked looks on Ron and Charlie's faces and broke up laughing.

'I think you're two brothers have been rendered speechless Gin.'

'Well, finding out their little sister is shagging Harry Potter, would do that to any of my brothers.'

'Alright, enough, let's get back to the meeting,' Arthur shook his head at his daughter.

'Okay, they believe everything,' Samuel said as he walk into the house with Oliver. 'They think Chester and the Minister is dead, Rosemary has been arrested and we found out who's running it all.'

'Zabini sr, with the help of his son who is going to be at Hogwarts this year, but we could tell he was hiding something from his father, so I think he's organised the others that will be at Hogwarts.'

'Makes sense, Malfoy did say Zabini was upset that Ginny got rescued, he had plans for her,' Kingsley said softly as he looked down at Ginny and Harry.

'What plans?' Harry asked fiercely.

'Calm down Harry,' Kingsley gave Ron and Neville a look and waited until they stood right behind him, 'They were planning one of two things, one was kill Ginny outright and make sure you found her, then they changed that to something else. They thought it would hurt you more and give them a chance to get you for killing Voldemort.'

Harry tightened his hold on Ginny, 'What were they planning Kingsley?'

'They were going to rape and disfigure Ginny and leave her where you would find her.'

Ginny felt Harry shake under her arms, and tightened her hold on Harry, 'He said he had plans for me, but I had no idea it was that.' she turned to face Harry, 'It's okay Harry, Neville and Seamus got me out of there remember.'

Harry kept shaking as he stared at Ginny, 'I'm going to kill the bastard.'

'Harry, you can't think like that no matter how much I would love you to. Let's do it the right way, capture them then they go to Azkaban and live in that hell hole forever,' Ron said grabbing Harry's shoulder.

'Harry, please,' Ginny put her hands to Harry's face, then kissed him, 'it's all fine now, nothing happened and you've got some plans going to stop him. Remember, I'm having an auror escort with me the whole time, I'll be safe.'

'Yeah, sorry,' Harry took a couple of deep breaths, then his eyes glazed over, staring at nothing.

'Oh another vision,' Ginny said watching Harry carefully.

'Maybe you're vision changed Ginny,' Charlie said watching Harry with everyone else. But they all noticed it seemed to be taking longer.

'Oh god,' Harry blinked a few times, 'It's changed, they still kill you, but Zabini, he...he,' Harry put his head on Ginny's shoulder, 'We have to stop this.'

'We will, now calm down and tell us what you saw Harry?' Oliver asked.

'Ginny was taken, not killed on the seventh floor. I saw feet sticking out from under the cloak, one of you looked dead. They chained Ginny up, she was naked and five of the Slytherin's were taking turns with her before using a slicing hex on her face, then Zabini killed you.' Harry stared into Ginny's eyes, 'Before, you and me were swimming in the black lake with everyone here, Hagrid and Grawp was in the water with us. Grawp was actually throwing us all up in the air, letting us fall into the water, we were having a good time.'

'Okay, so it's either before the weather turns, or next year when it warms up again.' Samuel said.

'Makes more sense for it to be next year, usually from September it's too cold to swim in that lake,' Ron said watching his sister.

'Um, Mr and Mrs Weasley, do you mind if Ginny comes with me now?'

'No, go on, go spend some time together,' Arthur said, then everyone watched as Harry and Ginny stepped into the fireplace and vanished. 'Okay, some of your plans will need to be changed.'

'If they kill either Samuel or Oliver, than one is not enough, we need someone else to be with Ginny at all times, they don't need to be hidden all the time though,' Kingsley said.

'I doubt Harry will let her out of his sight, but between all of us, we should be able to take turns being with Ginny,' Neville said.

'Yes, but anything can happen to delay or distract any of you.' Oliver said.

'Okay, what if Charlie is at Hogwarts, sometimes under one of the cloaks, me or Oliver under the other one. I'm sure McGonagall will let us make something up for Charlie being there, that way two is with Ginny the entire time, even if Neville, or Ron is walking with her and of course Harry as well.' Samuel said.

'Sounds good, I'll talk to Minerva about all this later. Now Rosemary, they think you have been arrested, so you we've got a choice for you to make. Either take polyjuice potion all the time and pretend to be Arthur's secretary, but looking like another woman, or you go to a safe house until this is all over.'

'I'd like to help, so I'll use the polyjuice potion. They were going to use me to kill you Sir, but what about Uncle Chester, they think he's dead.'

'He's going to be staying here at the Burrow with the Weasley's, it has wards around it so it's perfectly safe. He can use the floo from here as no one will realise it's a muggle using it. We are going to give him a supply of polyjuice potion as well so if he needs to go out, he'll be safe. We've set up Harry's flat for him to floo to when he needs to go somewhere, so he's car can stay there, but I'm going to transfigure it to change the colour and shape.'

'Sounds good, as long as he's safe.'

'We'll keep him safe Rosemary, just like we kept you safe tonight. If we didn't know about this, you could have been killed, we know what we're doing.'

'I know Sir, thank you.'

'I have an idea Kingsley, everyone knows I work with dragons right?'

'Right, you brought the dragons over for the triwizard tournament.'

'What if we ask McGonagall about having one or two at Hogwarts for a year, nothing too dangerous and just babies, that way Hagrid can actually teach the students about the dragons, but I'm seen with them when Ginny is in class or in the dorm room with Harry and the others.'

'Could you get a couple of young dragons over here in the next few weeks?'

'No problem, most of the dragons would have just finished having their eggs a month or two ago, so there should be a lot of babies at the reserve by now.'

'Go organise that Charlie, I'll work it with Minerva, because it's a damn good plan and gives you a legitimate reason to be there.'

'Okay, we've got some more plans going, now you lot,' Kingsley looked around at the auror DA, 'Remember not to be too friendly with Oliver and Samuel, say hello, maybe talk to them if you want, but nothing else. With me, I'll be acting like any other professor. But I will try not to give you too much homework or assignments, but don't try to take advantage or it might look suspicious to the Slytherin's.'

'So we'll pretty much groan and complain whenever you tell us what you want us to do, but you're not going to take points from us are you Kingsley?' Neville asked as everyone laughed.

'Don't push it Neville,' Kingsley heard Samuel and Oliver laugh softly, 'Okay, why don't you all head out until the next meeting. I have to get Rosemary her polyjuice potion and show her who she is going to be from tomorrow.'

The auror DA apart from Hermione and Ron all said goodnight, then left. Oliver and Samuel were telling Chester how to use the floo, while Kingsley sat down with his secretary and Arthur. The three of them sat and discussed what was expected of them over the next year and hoped it would only take a few months, but had to plan long term in case any unforseen situations cropped up.
