Revenge - A Sirius/Ginny Cookie
They weren't even really dead, just... soulless. And Ginny wanted revenge for making them that way. They sat there, in their rooms at St. Mungo's, didn't even recognize her any longer, didn't recognize anything. She didn't understand why they had picked all of them out of the rest, they weren't important figures in the wizarding world, not so much as those who were closer to them... But she knew that justice would have to be served on a silver platter to Draco Malfoy, the nasty little prat who had Imperio'ed her whole family into oblivion. Forced as much information out of them, then had left them for dead in the middle of the Malfoy estate drive. All of them, except for her: her father, mother, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron, all dead souls within living bodies.
And there was only one other person who understood her hunger for revenge... Sirius Black. Still, he hadn't been cleared of his charges. Still, he hadn't been officially named Harry's legal guardian. But still... Ginny felt that she knew him better than the press did. And Sirius Black, ex-con, highly dangerous man, was going to help her find that little ferret and give him a bit of his own medicine, so to speak.
Ginny grabbed her bag of newly acquired Dark Detectors that Sirius had told her to buy, and went to stand in the Burrow's front yard to wait. Suddenly, as soon as she had closed the front door, a large motorbike dropped from the sky. Sirius sat upon it, and he turned off the engine, stood up and moved towards Ginny, who stood shaking with fury and anger.
"Gin..." Sirius breathed, taking off his helmet and holding her up as she collapsed forward into his arms, sobbing.
"Damn Malfoy to hell!" she sobbed, tears streaking down her face. "Damn him for doing this!" He stroked her back, felt her pain... James and Lily weren't equal to the eight family members she had lost, but they had been Sirius's family, James and Lily had.
"Ron's looking better," Sirius told her, trying to be comforting. "He's beginning to remember a bit about Quidditch." Ginny let a small laugh escape, not at all surprised that the first think her closest brother would remember was Quidditch.
"I need to kill Malfoy," Ginny said seriously. "No one has taken away his whole family, so why the hell should he take mine?" She removed herself from Sirius's arms, and began stalking back and forth, formulating plans in her head.
"We're to apprehend him, bring him in for trial, Gin," Sirius reminded her, grabbing her arm.
"Where he will get himself set free by naming names and forcing money and blackmail upon every single jury member!" Ginny cried, speaking the truth of Malfoy's ways, and trying to get away from Sirius. He pulled hard on her arm, and she fell towards him, steadying herself upon his arms. Their lips were close, and Ginny looked into his eyes, seeing concern for her. He was leaning back against his bike, and suddenly his lips were upon hers, and any thoughts of killing Malfoy flew out of her head. Ginny enjoyed the kiss, and thought to herself, it's amazing, the places you can find enjoyment in such dire times... But already Sirius was pulling away, apologizing for his actions.
A new beginning within the war for life, Ginny knew that it may have been the first time their bodies met, but it wouldn't be the last one.
