With Every Bit Of Sunshine, There Will Be A Bit Of A Blood
Chapter Thirty Six- Love's A Fragile Little Flame, It Could Burn Out
It was now the day after Boxing Day. Harry had gone away on an auror mission but promised to be back before the New Year. This left Ginny alone with her homework. The thought depressed her. She began to stir properly around Lunchtime. She had woke up around 6AM when Harry woke but he kissed her and told her to back to sleep. She did not need to be told twice. She walked into the kitchen, switching the kettle on when there was a knock on the flat door. She wondered who it could be, knowing she had not many plans with anyone. She walked to the door and opened it to Neville.
'Hey, Neville, What a surprise, what is wrong?' she asked, as he walked into the flat.
'I think I saw Lestrange today. I was helping Gran with the washing and I saw him out the window but when I looked again, he was gone' he replied, sighing.
'Neville, it is fine, they can't touch us. That is why Harry and Ron have gone away. They are going to get them and this nightmare will be over. I promise' she told him, when there was another knock on the door. She sighed and went to open it. It was Charlie.
'Charlie, aren't you supposed to be back in Romania?' she questioned, confused.
'Is she here?' Charlie asked, frantic.
'Luna? Why would she be here?' Ginny crossed her arms.
'She told me. We had an argument then she ran off. That was last night! She is not at home either' he replied, sighing.
'Will someone tell me what is going on?' Neville asked. Ginny looked at Charlie who looked away.
'Tell him, Charlie' Ginny said, annoyed.
'Luna's pregnant' Charlie told Neville. It all happened too quickly. Neville went for Charlie; a fight that he would never win in this lifetime or the next. Ginny rushed forward, pulling her best friend off her brother.
'No fighting in my flat please! This is a place of peace and calm' she proclaimed, pushing Neville away from Charlie.
'We will take this outside then!' Neville said. Ginny shot him a look when there was another knock on the door.
'Bloody hell, I swear the only time I say do not disturb me, everyone comes!' she exclaimed, walking towards the door once again and opened it to Luna's father who looked distressed and worried.
'Mr Lovegood?' Ginny asked, concerned.
'They took her! She has been taken again!' he cried, walking into the flat.
'Wait, who has taken her?' Charlie questioned, walking toward Mr Lovegood.
'The remaining Death Eaters' he replied, breaking down in tears.
'But why would they take Luna?' Neville asked, surprised.
'To bait me' Ginny sighed, running her hands through her hair.
'They knew Harry was going away and waited until he was gone to take her and bait you' Charlie said. She nodded, exhaling deeply.
'But why now? Why not before? Do you know something about Luna I don't?' Mr Lovegood asked, looking from the siblings to Neville, wearing a look of panic. Ginny and Charlie exchanged a look.
'Luna is pregnant' Charlie told him. The colour went from Mr Lovegood's face. Neville turned around, holding his tongue when an owl came flying into the living room.
'How did that get in? Did you leave a window open?' Ginny ignored Charlie's question and opened the letter. She sighed, showing Charlie.
I have your best friend. If you are a good little girl, she won't die. Trade places with her, her and her baby will come to no harm. You have twelve hours.
'Do not even think about it, Ginny Weasley!' Charlie warned her, raising an eyebrow as Neville took the letter from him.
'I am not my boyfriend. I don't fall for traps easily. Because I know if I trade places with Luna, they will bait him and I am not having that' she replied, sighing.
'Then what do we do?' Neville asked, looking from Ginny to Charlie back to Ginny.
WEBOSTWBAOR
Luna groaned as she came around. She felt herself chained to a wall. She groaned again. She began to look around but could see nothing. She sighed. Her voice hoarse. She could not even call out.
'If your best friend does as she is told, you will be out of here in no time' she heard from behind her. She turned and saw Lestrange. She gasped. She had no idea how she was going to get out of this because Ginny was smarter than that.
WEBOSTWBAOR
Ginny, Neville and Charlie rushed to the Ministry, hoping Percy would be able to tell them where Harry, Ron and Kingsley was. They gasped for breath as they came through the fireplace, coughing from the flames. They hurried to the auror department where they saw Percy walking out of the one of the offices.
'Ginevra, Charles, what a pleasant surprise' he said, as he saw his siblings.
'Less of the Sunday names, we have a problem, a serious problem' Charlie replied. Percy looked concerned and Ginny handed him the letter.
'They have took Luna. Long story short she is pregnant, they are using her to bait me so they can kill me to bait Harry. It was all Voldemort's plan and Yaxley and Lestrange are going to try and for fill his wishes' Ginny said, sighing.
'Do not say that name in front of me, Ginevra and a baby out of wedlock, Charles? Do you want Mother in an early grave?' Percy proclaimed, raising an eyebrow.
'Whatever. Where have Harry and Ron gone?' she asked, looking around.
'Can't tell you that. I will sure to pass a message on but in the meantime, Charlie, go and see Mother and tell her the news. She would rather hear it from you. Getting a teenager pregnant? I am surprised' Percy replied, with a regretful sigh and turned to walk away.
'Are you actually kidding me? You know screw it' Ginny got her wand out and produced a patronus.
'Ginevra, you know the rules about sending messages to aurors on missions!' Percy exclaimed, rushing forward and took her wand off her when Ginny's stomach turned. Percy's hair was darkening from red to dark brown. His brown eyes were turning a murky grey. He was getting shorter and before they could even gasp, Rodolphus Lestrange was standing before them. Charlie charged at him but Lestrange quickly knocked him out along with Neville. He grabbed Ginny's arm despite her struggles before resulting in a curse to knock her out.
WEBOSTWBAOR
'Hey, Kingsley, are you sure we are in the right place?' Ron asked, as he held a map in his hand.
'Yes, Ron, your confidence in me is deafening' Kingsley replied, laughing. He narrowed his eyes as he saw a patronus floating towards them. He was even more surprised by what it was. It was a dragon.
'Why the bloody hell is Charlie sending you a patronus?' Ron proclaimed, as the silvery dragon landed and began spoke.
They took Luna. We came to the ministry to try and find you to tell you because they sent Ginny a letter but we was ambushed. Lestrange was Percy under polyjuice potion. Now I can't find her, Neville or Percy.
WEBOSTWBAOR
'How nice of you both to drop in' Luna's voice said. Ginny snapped her eyes and realised for the third time that year she was chained up. She was in between Luna and Neville. She screamed loudly, attempting to pull herself away from the wall.
'Lestrange, Yaxley, show your faces NOW!' she shouted, at her wits end.
'They are not here. I think they went to seek out Harry' Luna replied, sighing.
'Motherfucker! We need to focus together and try and perform a patronus charm' Ginny said, closing her eyes.
'Yeah, me perform wandless magic? You having a laugh?' Neville questioned, laughing. She gave him a sorry smile and turned to Luna.
'You know it is dangerous to perform wandless magic when pregnant' Neville looked away, too upset to tell her how he felt.
'Okay, it is down to me. That is fine' she replied, closing her eyes once more and focused on how she felt the other night when Harry proposed to her.
WEBOSTWBAOR
'Harry, produce a patronus. Hermione was going on the other day how a patronus can find your soulmate's and you will be able to find them' Ron quickly turned to Harry who nodded and got out his wand, producing a patronus, thinking about how he felt when Ginny said yes to marrying him when there was a bright, blinding light.
'Great minds think alike, there is your doe' Ron said, looking into the distance.
'But now what?' Harry asked, confused but his heart warmed a little to see Ginny's patronus.
'I think it wants you to go to it' Ron replied. Harry nodded, walking towards the doe who held its leg out. He acted on an impulse and went to touch it when he got a flash.
'We are locked up together. This is a good as time as ever to talk your problems out'
'I have nothing to say'
'Neville, for god's sake!'
'I know where they are!' Harry said, quickly.
