Ginny opened her eyes and looked around, she was in a strange wooden room, she looked to her left and gasped when she saw Sarah unconscious. She kneeled next to her and shook her shoulder, hoping that she would wake.
"What happened?" Sarah asked groggily as she slipped into consciousness.
"Not sure, I cant remember anything after Moody killed Mr Crouch" Ginny said, shuddering at the memory. They stood up and looked around the room, there might have been something that would explain where they were.
"Nothing, I knew Moody had lost it" Sarah said, Ginny rolled her eyes, they needed to focus. They stopped when they heard a creek, it seemed to be coming towards the door.
.
"They actually expect us to continue school like normal when Ginny is in danger" Ron said annoyed as he dropped his back in the common room.
"What can we do, the Aurors are looking for her" Hermione said, she sat down next to him and sighed, she wished they could do something.
"There has to be something, we are going to send a letter to Mum and Dad, they should know" Fred said before he and George rushed out of the portrait hole. Harry sat down next to Ron, he wanted to help Ginny but like Hermione said, what could they do.
"I am not just going to sit here, it happened in the forest so there must be something there" Ron said, standing up but Hermione stopped him.
"The Aurors would have already looked Ron" she said, he sighed, she was right but he couldn't do nothing.
"Why would someone do this, the only person who actually hated Ginny was Chang and I don't think she did it" he said.
"I know who could help" Harry said, jumping to his feet and running out of the common room, Ron and Hermione looked at each other before they followed him. They ran through the castle until they reached the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.
"Great idea Harry, if anyone could figure it out it would be Moody" Ron said happily.
"Professor Moody, are you in there?" Hermione asked as she knocked on the door, when there was no response, Harry opened it. They looked around the office but couldn't find him.
"Maybe he is already helping" Hermione said hopefully before they down the Great Hall and onto the grounds.
"You three, back to your common rooms" Flitwick said as he turned into the corridor they were in. Harry sighed in annoyance, everyone was being told to stay in the common rooms until this was sorted out. They walked back to their common room and werent surprised when they noticed that Fred and George had not come back, those two probably knew the castle and it's secrets better than Dumbledore himself.
.
Ginny's eyes widened as a man she had never seen before barged into the room and looked at them with glee in his eyes.
"This is too perfect, master will reward me greatly" he said, Ginny and Sarah glared at him but she gasped when she saw something in his eyes.
"Your Professor Moody" Sarah said breathlessly, Ginny looked at the man carefully, he looked nothing like Professor Moody, she looked into his eyes and was shocked to see the Professor.
"Yes polyjuice is very handy, Voldemort wanted the Potter boy but you will be very useful" he said with a sickening smile.
"And just how am I useful?" Ginny asked, narrowing her eyes at the man, he didn't know she was scared and she was going to keep it that way.
The man chuckled darkly "Potter has clearly shown his feelings for you, it is only a matter of time until he wants to help you" he said. Ginny's eyes went wide, Harry wouldn't be stupid enough to look for her himself, would he.
.
Fred and George walked, reluctantly, into the common room, mumbling angrily to each other. They rushed over to Harry, Ron and Hermione when they saw them.
"You wont believe what Fudge has done, everyone's letters are being read before they are allowed to be sent off, if your letter has anything to do with Ginny or that Sarah girl then they refuse to send them" Fred said.
The trio were confused, why would he do that, people needed to know.
"Fudge doesn't want anyone outside the school knowing until after the tournament, something about reporters, he has gone mental" George said, answering their unsaid question.
"But their parents have a right to know and what if someone sees or hears something but doesn't know that people are looking for them" Hermione said shocked, how could the Minister be so stupid.
"Exactly, we need to send a letter some how" Fred said, thinking of ways to get it out.
"I've got it, there is an owl post office in Hogshead, we could easily send a letter there" Harry said, brightened by the idea.
"But Harry, everyone has to stay in there dorms and we are not allowed to go to Hogshead unless it was a trip" Hermione said.
"He's right Hermione, this is important, if that means breaking a few rules then so be it" Ron said as he stood up. Fred and George agreed as they stood up with Harry, Hermione looked at them all, biting her lip before she gave in and stood up as well.
"Then it's agreed, let's go" Harry said, they ran out of the common room and down the Grand Staircase. They had, had enough, they were going to help, whether the Professors wanted them to or not.
"What are you five doing out of the castle?" Professor Mcgonagall asked when she saw them, all students were told to stay in their common rooms. She was shocked when they ignored her and continued to run from the castle.
"Potter, Weasleys, Granger!" she shouted but they didn't listen to her as they ran, Hermione hesitated but Ron took her hand and pulled her along.
"Get back here now!" the Professor ordered, annoyed when they carried on running. The five ran until they were a mile away from the school and slowed down slightly.
"We will send the letter and look for her ourselves" Harry said, he had only just got Ginny back, he was not going to lose her again.
.
"Don't worry Ginny, I am sure Harry isn't stupid enough to try and come himself" Sarah said trying to comfort her.
"But what if he does, it would be like him" Ginny said, she sighed, why did this have to happen. She sat down on the hard floor, silently hoping that Harry would stay away.
.
""Albus, Potter, Granger and the Weasley brothers have ran off, I think they are going to try and find Miss Weasley and Miss Robert" Mcgonagall said. Dumbledore nodded, he thought this would happen, he just hoped that what ever they were going to do, they would do it right. He had learned over the past few years to let Harry do what he thought was right, it usually was.
"Is there any sign of Moody yet?" he asked, the Aurors shook their heads as they continued their work. Was this a clue, has this got something to do with Moody, he was probably trying to rescue the students and was taken as well. He sighed, only time would tell, for now, they had to let everything unfold and follow the path they had been given.
He thought about Moody and wondered if he seemed different this year "Minerva, I need a report on Moody, I think something might be different about him" he said.
Mcgonagall gasped "you are actually suggesting that this is to do with him?" she asked, she hurried to get the report when he nodded.
He thought to himself, they might have just found themselves a wolf in sheep's clothing.
