When Ron woke the next morning, he stumbled into the kitchen to
find Harry and Hermione talking over morning tea.
"So love, did you sleep well?" Hermione asked sniggering
as she took another sip of tea.
"Haha," he replied stupidly. "I can't believe I passed
out when I felt the baby move."
Trying to stifle a laugh, Harry smiled, "You didn't?"
"Oh shut up! Yes I did. It was strange to feel something
moving around in my wife's stomach like that. It was like that Muggle movie I
saw once called Alien. It scared the shit out of me," he complained.
"I kept waiting for the thing to jump out of her and attack me," he
grumbled more.
Hermione burst into tears. "Ron, how could you say something
like that about our baby," she cried hysterically as she ran from the
room, slamming the bedroom door behind her.
"Son of a bitch! Am I
going to be able to do anything right while she is pregnant?" he
exclaimed, looking at Harry. "And what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't stay in that empty apartment any longer. I miss Ginny
so much," Harry muttered quietly as he put his head in his hands. "I
wish I knew what happened to make her leave."
"I don't know Harry, she didn't say anything to anyone in the
family either. It will work out, you'll see," Ron commented, trying to calm
his best friend.
Suddenly, Hedwig was tapping on the kitchen window. Ron moved to
the window letting her in. She landed on the back of the chair next to Harry,
sticking her leg out for him to remove the letter. When Harry read it his face
went white. "Oh Gods," he cried as he handed the note to Ron. Ron's
face fell when he saw the drops of blood on the note.
Harry,
Please
do what they say and I will be fine. Come alone or they will kill me. Meet me
where we first made love and don't tell anyone where that is. If you are seen with
anyone, they will kill me… slowly. Please I beg of you, Harry help me.
Ginny

Back in Bora Bora:
"I sent it," laughed Ginny as she climbed into bed and
then kissed Draco soundly. "Now all we have to do is wait for him to come
to us."
Draco stood and pulled on his clothing, which was strewn across
the room from their latest roll in the hay. "I've got to go out and get more supplies, lover."
Ginny frowned, "But this bed is so nice and comfy…"
"All in good time, my Queen," he smiled evilly, quickly kissing
her. "Now, don't tempt me anymore. You'll make me mad."
"I like mad Draco. He's
hot," Ginny laughed seductively. "Go,
before I change your mind."
As Draco walked down the street, he saw three women moving down
the street towards him. One he
recognized as Dr. Zarya Jade, who he knew was one of those damned Angels. Which could, Draco realized, only mean that
the other two were Angels as well. Ducking into a shop, he prayed that they had not seen him.
"The sun just does not shine this brightly in England!" Brandie
laughed, feeling much better since getting out of the hospital. "Just what I needed to feel better guys. Thanks for bringing me along."
Jacki pushed her sunglasses onto her face, grumbling, "I hate
sunlight. Why couldn't we go somewhere
dark and gloomy?"
Zarya smiled, "Because someone said they saw Ginny down here. Harry's a mess so Sirius wanted us to follow
up on it."
Brandie shook her head, "Just what we need. More work! This is supposed to be my vacation."
"Working vacation," Jacki muttered. "Wait, that, that looked like Draco Malfoy!"
"Draco?" Brandie exclaimed. "Where is he?"
"Oh shit," Zarya spat. "Brandie, just calm down. Damnit
this could set her progress back by weeks!"
Brandie ran forward, escaping the reaching hands of Jacki and
Zarya. "Draco!" She was like a fox after a hound, seeing a
flash of blonde hair she ran inside a store. "Draco! My love!"
Draco went completely still. He had no idea what the beautiful Angel was yelling about. His mind snapping back, he looked for an
exit.
"Draco!" Brandie shouted, running through the store. "Come here Draco!"
The Angel caught up to him as he was trapped and would have to go
around her to get out. She grabbed his
hands and pulled him to her, kissing him deeply and thoroughly. "Oh Draco!"
Draco had very little experience with women running up to him on
the street and kissing him. While he
had often dreamed of it happening, he was more than a little frightened when it
actually occurred, especially since he knew that it was one of the very women
he wanted to kill who was doing it. Unfortunately, that wasn't preventing his body from responding to her,
until that was, he remembered that Ginny would kill him if she found out.
Zarya and Jacki finally caught up to Brandie and tried to pry her
off Draco. "She's caught him!" Jacki
cheered.
"Yes, but he's going to die of asphyxiation if we don't get her
off of him!" Zarya muttered sternly. "Brandie come on!"
They managed to get Brandie and Draco separated, raising their
wands to stun Draco but Brandie jumped in between. "No!" she yelled as the spell hit her, knocking her to the
ground.
Draco looked between the psycho Angel and the other two women who
had their wands still raised. Knowing
he would have to forget about his supplies, he disapparated as the women stared
in horror at their unconscious friend.

"Annie! Annie! Come down
here!" Sirius called up the stairs.
"What is it, Sirius? I
was… Oh, hello," Joanne smiled,
greeting the young woman standing by the door.
"This is Pansy Parkinson, Annie. She may be able to help us with the shape-shifter," Sirius explained.
"How?"
"I have been teaching at Beauxbaton's Divination Center. I understand you were looking for a book on
transfiguration. My father, as you may
remember, was a Death Eater," Pansy paused, lowering her eyes to the floor.
"Yes, we both remember, Pansy. But how can that help us?" Joanne asked impatiently, rubbing her lower
back, which was beginning to ache.
"He had a copy of a certain book. It explains how to be able to shift shapes, without a wand," Pansy
revealed as she removed a large, dusty tome from her bag.
"Well, hot damn," Sirius sighed, gingerly taking the book from
Pansy's hands. "How can we ever thank
you?"
"Easy. Tell me where Harry
Potter is," Pansy replied quickly, looking over her shoulder at a small child
who was sitting on the steps to Dragon's Fire.
"Who…" Joanne gasped, her question answered as she caught a
glimpse of the little girl's bright green eyes and coal black hair.

"Ennervate!" Zarya
muttered as Jacki performed spells on all the Muggles who witnessed their
little mistake.
"What happened?" Brandie muttered, blinking her eyes rapidly. "Where am I?"
"Brandie, don't you recognize us?"
"Who are you?" Brandie asked frantically. "Where am I?"
"Oh shit. Not again,"
Jacki sighed.
Zarya looked up at her fellow Angel nervously. "This can't be the PTS again. I think there is something else. We need to get her back to England," she
whispered.
"OK, well, how do you propose we do that?" Jacki mocked. "She doesn't know who she is let alone who we are!"
"Well, then, I guess we have no choice," Zarya shrugged, turning
back to Brandie who was looking around at her surroundings, a look of confusion
and awe on her face. "Stupify!"
