Ch. 6 Certain Death
"What do they mean, 'Labyrinth'?" Ginny said aloud. She had been walking down the
same path now for 10 minutes. "There aren't any turns or corners or anything. This just
goes on and on."
Ginny sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Ello." A voice squeaked next to Ginny. She turned to find two large green eyes staring
at her.
"Oh, hello."
The small green house elf smiled warmly at her. "I is Dobby, the masters' personal
house elf. I is not meaning to sneak up on you miss. I is just coming to see you. It has
been so long since anyone has been in master's labyrinth."
"He has a house elf?"
"Oh yes miss. Though I is not on duty right now. When I heard master talk of you I had
to come see. It is big news having you hear. Master was telling us of you. And you are
even more beautiful than master said you where!"
Ginny gasped. "He, he said I was beautiful?"
Suddenly Dobby started pulling and twisting his ears while yelping in pain- much like a dog getting his tail shut in a door.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Ginny asked shocked. She grabbed him by the arms to
stop him.
"I shouldn't be telling what master says of you, it is master's personal business!"
"Listen Dobby, is there any way you can help me through this labyrinth?"
Dobby's eyes widened. "Oh, I don'ts think master would like that very much."
"Couldn't you tell me anything? I mean, I'm not getting very far. There aren't any turns
or openings or anything."
"Ah, but there are miss! Master's labyrinth is full of openings. You just not be seeing
them."
"Where are they?"
Dobby pointed to the wall directly across from them. "There's one. Right in front of
you."
Ginny looked at the wall. It looked like a normal wall to her. "No there isn't."
"Try walking through it. You'll see what I is meaning."
Ginny went up to the wall and held her hands up to touch it, but instead of feeling a wall
her hands went right through it.
"Wow!" Ginny said, now smiling at Dobby. "It's just like platform 9 ¾."
"That is right miss. You can't be taking things for granted in here. Everything is
enchanted."
"Thank you!" Ginny said and then began to walk through the wall.
"WAIT!" Dobby called after her.
"What?" Ginny said, turning around.
"Do not be going that way, miss! Never go that way."
"Oh. Okay." Ginny crossed the path and started leaving through the other wall.
"Thanks." She said just as she disappeared.
Dobby sighed a breath of relief. "If miss would have gone that way, she'd have gone
straight to master's castle!"
Ginny steeped out into a new part of the labyrinth. She briefly wondered if she was
simply on the other side of the wall, or if it had transported her to a whole new part of the
labyrinth. Well, either way, this side was much better. It was less dreary. Instead of
dull, gray brick walls, there were handsome green hedges. And the ground wasn't
littered with dead branches.
Ginny also noticed, that unlike the path she had just come from, this was a section full of
corners and turns. The change in scenery was nice.
Ginny walked for awhile, taking turns here and there, trying to remember which direction
she had just come from and which way she was going. After awhile it started to get a
little confusing. After all, it all looked the same.
She pulled her wand out of her pocket and tapped the ground, muttered a spell. A little
red arrow appeared on the floor. Now if she came this way again, she would be able to
get herself back on track. She smiled at her cleverness and continued walking. But when
she looked up she saw that there was a dead end. She could have sworn that this was a
clear path before.
She shrugged and turned back around. She looked down at her arrow as she passed and
noticed that it was facing in a different direction then it had been before.
"What the? Who's changing my marks?" Ginny said, confused. She heard laughing
behind her and turned around again.
Two young men stood laughing at her misfortune. They were both standing in front of
doors, and looked very, very much alike. Both were tall, freckle faced, red hair boys.
"Fred! George! What are you doing here?" Ginny asked surprised.
"Don't ask." The one on the right said. "We don't even know what we're doing here,
isn't that right Fred?"
Ginny looked back and forth between them, confused.
"This was a dead end a minute ago."
"No, that's the dead end." Fred said, pointing behind Ginny. She whirled around to see
that it was indeed a dead end behind her.
"It keeps changing! What am I supposed to do?"
"Try one of these doors." George said. "One of them leads to the castle, and the other
one leads to"
"Dun Dun Dun!"
"Certain death."
"Cut it with the dramatics guys." Ginny snapped. "Which one is which?"
"We can't tell you." Fred replied.
"Why not?"
"Because we have no bloody idea."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Then why are you here?"
"We told you Gin, we don't know why we are here. We just are."
"Whatever." Ginny said and pushed past them. "You two are so weird."
She opened the door behind George and started walking through.
"Bye Gin!" She heard her brothers call after her as they shut the door. Funny, Ginny
thought, Her brothers never called her Gin before.
She didn't really have any time to think about it though, because the ground suddenly fell
out from under Ginny and she found herself falling. She screamed at the sudden
sensation but then stopped as strong hands grabbed her and stopped her from falling.
"Which way?" Ginny heard a voice in the dark.
"Excuse me?" Ginny asked.
"Which way?" The voice asked her again. "Up or down."
"Oh." Ginny tried to see who was holding her, but she could only make out the persons
hands. She had no idea how this person was holding her up. Perhaps they were on a
broomstick?
"I haven't got all day! Make up your mind girl!"
"Well, erm. Since I'm pointed that way, I guess I'll go down." Ginny said nervously
without thinking.
"Down?" The person said and then began to laugh.
"Was that wrong?"
"To late now!"
They let go of her and she began to fall again, hearing the persons laughing grow farther
away as she fell deeper into the darkness.
She landed surprisingly softly. But she couldn't see where it was. Everything was still
very dark. Ginny looked around and shuddered. It was too quite, too dark. How was she
going to get out of this?
Ginny could only think of the words her brother had used.
"The other one leads to certain death."
The Goblin King sat in his throne, surrounded by goblins. In his lap he held the small
baby boy- who was snuggled up and sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He peered into one of his crystal orbs. In it, he could she Ginny and her current situation.
"She's in the Oubliette." He muttered to himself.
Goblins around him giggled.
"Shut up! She should have given up by now." He sneered.
Dobby, who was shinning his boots, looked up. "I is thinking she will not give up
master."
He glared at the house elf, who lowered his head immediately and went back to shinning
his boots.
"No matter, I'm sending scar face to lead her back to the beginning."
He smiled mischievously.
"She'll give up when she realizes she has to start all over again." He laughed darkly
under his breath as all of the goblins in the room sat watching him.
He looked at them in anger. "well, laugh."
They all started laughing at his command.
"That's better." He tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and looked down at Timmy,
who was still cradled in his arms.
"So much trouble for such a little thing."
He smiled as the child lifted a small thumb to his baby lips.
"I think I'll call him Draco."

Just a note- this might turn into a PG-13 fic. or possibly even R because of later romance. Yes, there will be Romance in this! Kissing and stuff.
