Revenge of the Bunnies (In the name of reading)
Chapter Six- A brother's wrath, bunnies and other misadventures.
A/N AH! It's my chapter! You poor people… My chapter aren't very good but please bear with me! Okay I'd (and of course my sisters) would like to thank you ALL for the wonderful reviews! I mean 27!!!! Okay now I'm sounding like an idiot (*clamps star's mouth shut from the comment just dying to come out*) but really this is just wonderful! Okay a couple things for the person who said we were the best writers… um thank you SOOOOO much!! And by the way there is three of us writing this. At the end I might actually get my sisters to allow me to write a thank you section for all the great reviews. Another thing: besides this being the longest A/N ever I'd like to point out that my darling sister star now hold the record for the least reviews per chapter and the most reviews per chapter! I mean there were a lot! So keep the reviews coming in!- steph
Disclaimer: Look at me! Do I honestly LOOK like J.K. Rowling??? Well it's not as if you can see me but… Well time to change the subject… None of us owns Harry Potter in anyway shape or form and if that isn't good enough for you *trying to be tough but scampers away* I'll just write it out again in full? Right?
One other thing: This has a few mistakes that I caught when looking this over but I'm just going to repost this because someone asked who wrote this and well if you haven't noticed the pen names of whoever wrote the chapters are beside the title! Hope that helps!
Ginny's P.O.V
"Harry Potter! Where is my sister?! I know you know, so don't even try to convince me that you don't!"
My brother, Bill, said that all in one breath while glaring at Harry. He had just Apparated into Harry's bedroom
"Wha-what?"
'Good one, Harry! Very articulate,' I thought. Smacking my forehead, I tried with all my might not to groan. This is not going to be pretty.
"You heard me! Where is my sister?!"
'Man, he's about to blow smoke out his ears like that old stuffed dragon of Charlie's… Stop that, Virginia Weasley! You got Harry into this predicament!'
"Look Bill, I have no idea where Ginny is! Why would I?!" I saw sweat pouring down his face as he faced my angry brother. Strangely enough I was finding this funny. It must have been my anxiety at being caught that made me think this was funny. Very good Dr. Weasley at least we now know who to ask about humor… Idiot…
Whipping out a piece of parchment Bill started sarcastically waving it in front of Harry's face. Suddenly, it was not funny anymore.
'Oh god! Please don't let that be-'
"It's a letter you wrote to Ron about Ginny."
'Shit.'
" 'Ron- I think Ginny's ok. Yes, I've heard from her.' Sound familiar? You know, Harry, I would have thought that you of all people would care about my family! I mean Mum is practically having kittens over the fact that Ginny is missing! How can you do that to her?! You have information that could bring Ginny home! You have—I mean how can you?!"
The git couldn't speak I wish it would happen more often; be nice once… maybe twice… a minute… all summer…
"Bill, I didn't mean to cause any harm! It's just I don't know where Ginny is! She only wrote me once and she didn't say much! How can I give you information I don't have?!"
"Show me the letter."
"Bu-bu-but I-I-I d-don't have it," he stammered, turning red.
"What happened to it?"
"It disappeared," Harry stated, flatly, looking confused.
Bill leapt at Harry and grabbed his collar. A very un-Billish thing to do. He hardly ever lost his temper.
'What's that?' Something soft, a kind of flowing material was under me. 'How could I have missed that before?' I pulled it out. 'The Invisibility Cloak! How did that get there?!'
"Tell me where she is, Harry! That is my little sister! She could get hurt, taken! How would you feel if something happened to her?! What would that do to your conscience? Ron always said you'd do the right thing no matter what, and now look at you! Letting a baby wander around on the streets while her mother frets all day and night and gets no sleep! She is just a baby! She can barely tie her shoelaces!"
That's it! Time to show that little carrot muncher not to call me a baby!
~*~
Ron's POV
'Where is he?! He should have been back by now! I can't believe Harry! 'Oh don't press me for details because I have a stick up my ass!' Damn him anyway! That's my sister! How could he?! Aren't I his best friend? God that damn nobility complex had better start packing that's all I got to say if he want to make it to sixth year! Damn him anyway! Fucking bastard!'
"Damn him anyway, George! How can we stay here and do nothing?! Where is Bill? If he is not here in ten minutes, I'm going to Dursleys and I don't care what he has to say!"
"Whoa there, Desperado! How exactly are you going to travel two-hundred miles to get to the Dursleys? You can't Apparate. There's no way one of our brooms is going to get you there and we don't exactly have our own trusty little Port Key to get us there!"
George was, for once subdued. He was angry that he and Fred didn't pass their Apparation test and, therefore, couldn't go to the Dursleys with Bill.
"I'm starting to wonder what kind of person Harry really is not telling his own best friend where his own baby sister is! I mean I'm starting to wonder whether Ginny would leave of her own free will I mean, if she has a tantrum she'll steal socks. She wouldn't contact Harry, she has a crush on him. And I think Harry kinda lost it after Cedric; always disappearing last year with no explanation. He's lost it! He's kidnapped my baby sister! He's gone completely squirrelly and has kidnapped my baby sister!

Ginny's POV
I grabbed my necklace and felt the power radiating through my fingertips. It had never felt quite that way before. I suppose I had never felt this way before. I felt rage pouring through every cell of my body. It was exciting yet scary; I didn't know what to think of it. I felt the power pulsating through me and I had to admit I liked it. Concentrating hard I sent Bill flying into a wall. The magnitude of the collision rattled the room. I was surprised and by the looks of it so were Bill and Harry. But maybe in the case of Bill he was surprised because the wind was knocked out of him. The power that had just a moment ago excited me I now hated. It had consumed me through my anger for my family and Bill and frankly that scared me. I didn't want power like that, power to hurt people.
Just then, an owl flew through the window and dropped a letter on Harry's bed. Bill jumped up before Harry could get it and looked at the front.
"I KNOW GINNY'S IN HERE!!! WHERE THE IN THE HELL IS SHE IN THIS HOUSE?! SHE JUST KNOCKED ME INTO THE WALL! VIRGINA WEASLEY! GET OUT OF YOUR HIDING PLACE RIGHT NOW! THIS IS NOT HIDE AND GO SEEK!!!" Bill said, all in one breath, and frankly, I was surprised; wasn't he the one who just had the wind knocked out of him?
"Look, Bill, she's not in here. She's not in this house."
"Don't lie to me, Potter! She is in this house! That letter there proves it! It's from the Ministry of Magic saying that Miss Virginia Weasley did magic at number four Privet Drive, and I agree because someone just slammed me magically into a wall!"
Oh no, oh no, oh fucking no! I forgot! How could I forget to do the protection?!
The protection was the spell I used to keep my necklace from being noticed by the Ministry. If I said the incantation shenaro nontaira every morning then I can do as much magic as I want without being caught by the ministry of magic. I can't believe I forgot.
I swung the Invisibility Cloak around my shoulders. Bill couldn't find me! I wouldn't let him find me. I would not go home; not back to bunny land. No, I'm not going back there. Back to my parents, treating me like a three-year-old. I would rather have died than go back.
"You know what?! I don't think Ginny would leave of her own free will! I think you kidnapped her! She wouldn't run away! What did you do with her?!"
"Nothing!!! I don't know where she is and if I had kidnapped her then how come she could do magic?!"
"You hypnotized her!"
"Bill, have you seen my Divination marks?" He started laughing incredulously, I tried to stifle a giggle; but to no avail. The idea was too funny to not laugh at.
"Accio Ginny!!"
I felt some invisible force grip me and sweep me towards my brother. Luckily I still had the cloak on. I banged into him. He couldn't see me, thank god but - no, no, don't take the cloak off! NO!
He took the cloak off.
"Can you explain this?!" Bill had me gently by the arm but motioned me towards Harry. I felt so bad for him. Harry, oh how could I do this to him?! The poor guy couldn't think of what to say.
"You took my little sister! I was right!" Turning his attention to me he said, "Gin, are you alright? Did he hurt you? Oh you poor little girl!"
That was it! "William Arthur Weasley! I am NOT and I repeat NOT A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!"
Wow, that worked. The carrot muncher looked flabbergasted at my outburst. About friggin time.
"A Confoundus charm," he said amazedly.
Oh can this get any worse?!
"I can't believe you, Harry! I can't believe you! A Confoundus charm?!"
Yep it can get worse. How could it not?
"Look, Bill, I swear! It's not a Confoundus charm! I don't even know how to do a Confoundus charm!" Harry said, quickly.
"Likely story!"
"Look, Bill, I came here of my own free will! I made him promise not to tell anyone where I am!" I told him.
Completely ignoring me, Bill said, "You sadistic bastard I thought I knew you better."
He said this scathingly with venom I didn't even know he possessed. I felt so bad for Harry. I can't believe I put him in this situation. This was a person he looked up to. The one he considered family. I could see the hurt in his eyes.
Oh god, Bill, how can you do this to him?! This isn't his fault! It's mine. Oh lord; it's my fault he's in this mess!
"Bill, let me go! I swear you'll regret it if you don't let me go!"
Turning on me his face softened, "It's okay, Gin, he can't hurt you anymore."
"He didn't hurt me, you moron! I came here all by myself!"
"It's okay, you're just confused."
Muttering the protection under my breath, I yelled, "Rabbitus Transmorpheus!!!"
Standing where Bill once stood was a fuzzy pink rabbit.
"Gin." It was the first time since Bill had talked about the Confoundus charm that Harry spoke. "Turn him back."
"I can't, Harry! I need to get out of here!"
"Look, turning him into a bunny will not help you any. I'm sure Ron knows where he is, and if Bill doesn't come back Ron'll have a fit, and then tell your mum and dad." He said this all quite plainly and calmly.
"But, Harry," I was near tears of exhaustion and desperation. "Look what he's saying to you!"
"I have ears and I have heard what he's said to me and about me, but it's not going to change anything if you keep him as a bunny. It'll only make matters worse for you and for me." Seeing my doubtful look he said, "Look, Gin, you have to turn him back. I can take the consequences; I've had worse than an extremely angry brother."
"Try five more later." I meant it to be a joke but I saw Harry visibly pale. I grabbed him into a hug right in front of bunny Bill.
"It'll be okay, Gin," he pulled back slightly; not letting me go but enough to look at me. I melted right there. "Remember what you told me?"
"No."
"If things are meant to be they'll happen, but we can't force them and we must continue living them come what may." I burst into tears and grabbed him. Normally I wouldn't have burst into tears so easily but the last few days had been an emotional storm, with running away, confronting the past and now the defeat of being found.
"Harry, I ran away, so my family will see that I'm not a little girl anymore but it was all a waste! Now you're in trouble too!"
"It's okay but you really have to turn Bill back."
I nodded reluctantly. "Finite incantatem! "
Bunny Bill became normal Bill again and was looking at Harry and I in wonder. "Wha-what is going on? Harry, why did you make her turn me back?"
"I told you," Harry's voice was like ice. "I didn't take Ginny; she came here of her own free will. I promised not to tell where she was but I couldn't very likely lie to my best friend by saying she hadn't contacted me at all and I didn't know whether she was all right."
I couldn't speak. His damn nobility complex had been in affect since he had told my brother that I was okay. That damn stupid brother of mine had to throw that in his face. He was a sweetheart. How could I have given him up? He was worth every bit of sneaking around and if I get the chance I'm going to win him back.
No matter how difficult.

Bill's P.O.V
I can't believe it! She… I mean why… Didn't he take my sister? No no Wealsey this is just what he wants: to get you confused. Don't worry, stay calm sit down and talk about this rationally.
Rationally?! How can I think rationally?! He just took my baby sister! Didn't he?…
My head was spinning I couldn't make sense of it all. My baby sister: the one who would run to my with little red curls bouncing behind her when I got off the Hogwarts Express. The one who was up to my knee. The one looked up to me with awe. The one who thought I was the coolest person around. She was standing here in all her glory powerful and certainly grownup…
NO! She is just a little girl at heart who is confunded!!! She is confunded can't you see that?!
But Harry seemed so sincere and he got her to turn me back…
It's strategy! He's confusing you now! Get out of here!
I grabbed my wand turned around when-
~*~
Ginny's P.O.V
Bill had the most stunned expression on his face; for a minute I pitied him but then I remember him treating me like a three-year-old and I turned to stone. He doesn't understand; he won't understand because he doesn't want to.
He turned around when I saw the most funny thing I had seen all day. Apparently Harry had too for we both cracked up. There attached to the bottom of one William Weasley was a cotton, sugarspun bunny tail!
Harry and I fell to the floor me practically on top of him. How many more of these lets just say compromising positions are we going to be in before the day is up?
Not many if Bill has his way.
Damn.
We looked at each other laughter seizing abruptly. Bill had already come to see what we were laughing it and Harry had pointed at his tail and used a squeaky voice he hadn't used since the beginning of his fifth year, "You have a- have a-"
He couldn't finish.
Bill looked behind him franticly as if he had expected to see a tentacle or something growing out of his bum. He couldn't see the tail and started turning around in circles like a dog chasing his tail and that was the final straw; making us fly into fits of laughter.
Bill was still chasing himself when Harry and I looked at each other. Our gazes locked as they had so many times before. Those eyes how I love those eyes…
I looked into the pools of emerald green and he no doubt into my chocolate brown eyes. Time stopped like it always did for us when we were like this. I felt his hand tighten around my waist. We had both forgotten our breakup; we forgot discretion. It was only the two of us; there no one else. No Bill, no Ron or Hermione, no brothers or condescending parents. This is bliss. I vaguely knew Bill was still chasing himself around in circles and frankly I didn't care. Harry and I were both shivering, our hearts pounding like one being. Our heads got closer; I could feel his warm shaky, sharp breath on my cheek. It smelled like mint. I was intoxicated in Harry's scent.
I ran my hand over his back; I was loosing. The voice in the back of my mind told me to stop but I pushed it side. Then I felt a strong, not so gentle grip around my waist and I turned around. There standing in all his furry was Bill Weasley. I had never been so grateful and resentful to him in my entire life.
"Virginia Weasley! Harry Potter! What on earth do you think you doing?! You know what I don't want to know! Want to know why, Mr. Potter?! It's because I know what is going on! You have cursed my sister and no argument is going to change my mind!
~*~
Bill's P.O.V
I yelled I knew what I was saying but in a way I didn't. There was my sister sitting on the lap of Harry Potter. I didn't recognize either of them. They looked so grownup and like they were two lovers you'd see in a restaurant; completely rapped up in each other. I snapped then and I started yelling. I felt as though a dead weight was inside my stomach and then I remembered something I had thought of cute and in significant at the time…
~*~
It was summer vacation, Ron had been strangely secretive that summer; like a secret that was his and no one else's. He seemed to have an air of importance around him and it was almost disdain he looked upon us with. He had just finished his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the way he was acting reminded me of Percy and I really wanted to punch him.
Ginny came down, curls bouncing behind her. She slammed herself down at the table and grabbed an apple. She was reading a letter and suddenly erupted into a fit of giggles. Mum chided her because she had sprayed apple all over the table when she had laughed. When she had regained some control she asked sweetly whether her mom had any American Muggle quarters. Her mother was utterly confused like the rest of us and asked why on earth she should have anything as outlandish as that.
"No reason," was Ginny's reply. She then burst into another fit of giggles.
Dad came through the door and asked, "why all the giggling? Not talking about boys I hope." Ginny went pale and walked upstairs after shaking her head no.
Dad looked to the rest of us. His expression was questioning. Ron answered saying, "she just asked mum whether she had any American Muggle quarters."
This of course had dad bouncing for joy as he was fascinated with anything Muggle.
That evening dad came up to Ginny and talked all about Muggle inventions starting from something he called "ecliktricity" to Muggle currency. Ginny like the rest of us was board stiff like the rest of us because she had heard this a million times before. Finally she burst out, "dad? When am I allowed to date?"
We all laughed. It was one of her childish games. She was far too young to even think about boys even though we knew she had once liked Ron's best friend, Harry.
I had never met the boy but mum and dad only had good things to say about him and Percy's only bad remark was that he had a disregard for rules. I was surprised Percy even had given his opinion. He was always working on some mind numbing report for his beloved boss, Mr. Crouch.
Ginny stared calmly at dad and stuck out her chin stubbornly. After dad was only chuckling heartily and not rolling with laughter he answered, "after your married sweetheart." He meant it as a joke but a command that she was not allowed to date for many years. Ginny walked calmly and coolly up to her room and slammed the door. Dad called up the stairs, "what about our chat, Gin?"
"Little tyke," Charlie said. "She was exhasted."
~*~
I remembered that now and felt strange. She was old enough to date but well, I won't let her!!!!
That's right Weasley! She was confunded!
Ya, confunded…
I wasn't so sure about her being confunded but I acted just the same. The more I thought about it the more I believed it. I grabbed her and yelled. She yelled back. I didn't care. She started to run out the room but I grabbed her and strugleingly I pointed my want at her trunk and sent it home.
~*~
Ginny's P.O.V
He yelled at Harry and I, then I yelled back. How could he say that to Harry? It was the same old question that I had asked myself about fifty times already.
I bolted for the door. I'm glad the Dursleys had gone out earlier and not heard the commotion for that would get Harry in even more trouble.
Bill had me again but I tried my hardest to get away. I kicked and pulled but to no avail. He had me. Bill pointed his wand at Harry's trunk and it suddenly disappeared.
"Bill! That was Harry's trunk!"
"Shit!" He was beat red and pissed off. He pointed his wand at my trunk and muttered something and my trunk disappeared and Harry's returned.
"Bill Weasley! Were is my trunk?!" I tried to get at my necklace but Bill had my arms and I wasn't able to move them. I fought with all the fury I possessed. I lashed out. My legs were kicking at him and I was satisfied with the grunts and groans I heard in return. I wanted to cause some pain.
"Where is my trunk?!" I intoned again.
"Home – grunt – where you're going!"
"I am not going home! You can't make me!!!" I was near hysteria. He couldn't! He just couldn't bring me back there! To bunny land!
"Come on Gin! We're going! Oh I forgot! Here's your bunny!"
He thought it would calm me down. Wrong move buddy. I grabbed the bunny and ripped its pink head off and threw both at Bill. Harry was just staring there in awe. Bill got really mad then and threw me over his shoulder and marched me down the stairs. I bounced with his every step and it hurt.
He dragged me into the kitchen pointed his wand at a dustpan and grabbed it. With a sick feeling in my stomach I realized that we were using a port key undoubtedly taking us back to munchkin land. I felt sick for more than one reason.
The kitchen swam into view. Ron and the twins we pacing around; muttering. They looked up and saw me, "GIN!!" They called and clamored around me. They bombarded me with questions and I felt like throwing up. I was nauseous.
Getting no answer from me they turned on Bill who got this story telling look on his face that made me want to kill him. But before he could say anything one of the twins asked, "Umm Bill? Why do you have a cotton candy bunny tail? That is BLUE?"
