Chapter Four

"Ron! Wake up!" Ginny sobbed as she shook her brother's shoulders.

The people around her began to laugh.

"He's not going to wake up, you stupid girl," a cold voice sneered.

Ginny looked up to the face of Lucius Malfoy.

She felt so scared. She felt alone, even though their were at least twenty people in the cave, which didn't exactly look like a cave considering caves were supposed to be dark. This cave was brightly lit with candles all over the place.

Ginny laid her eyes upon the man who was standing a few feet away from her. The man who she thought she would never see in her life. Lord Voldemort. He hit her brother, Ron with the Crucaitus Curse nearly two hours ago. Ron had shook and jerked constantly for almost a full hour. He screamed with pain until he passed out. When Voldemort had finished, Ron continued to shake and twitch a little. But now he lay perfectly still. His life was slowly fading away.

Voldemort laughed, "I am getting tired of watching them now, and I guarantee my death eaters, that they will be dead by next week. The Death Eaters applauded, and three people entered the cave, two seemed to be dragging the third.

"We brought you a new friend, my lord," one of them said.

Ginny looked up to see Cho Chang, a sixteen-year-old witch with long black hair who went to Hogwarts.

"Go sit with the other two," Voldemort ordered.

Cho hastily sat down next to Ginny.

"Welcome to our little party," Voldemort said icily, "I would play a game with you, my dear, but I am too tired. We simply have to play in the morning.

He walked away. One by one, the death eaters left that part of the cave.

"You are Ginny Weasley, right?" Cho asked.

Ginny nodded, she felt a tiny bit safer with someone older and friendly around, but she was still shaking with fright.

"What is going on?" Cho asked tearfully, "I was on my way to platform nine and three quarters. My parents just left, and these two men just grabbed me. I was so shocked. I-I didn't know what to do. I didn't even have a chance to react."

"I d-don't know what is going on," Ginny said as tears slid down her cheeks, "but I have to help my brother. I have to wake him up."

Cho turned to Ron. He did not look well, she had to help him. His face was very pale. She took his hands, which were as cold as ice. He didn't appear to have a pulse, nor was he breathing.

"Oh, Ginny," Cho whispered softly as her eyes filled up with tears, "Ginny, I-I don't think…he's not going to make it."

"No!" Ginny gasped.

She began to sob uncontrollably. She screamed 'Ron!' over and over again. She tapped his face and shook his shoulders. This continued for a long time. Finally, Ginny gave up. She buried her face in his chest and cried and cried.

"Come back, Ron," she whispered…

When Harry woke up the next morning, he headed straight to Hagrid's hut after brushing his teeth and getting dressed.

He was surprised to see that all of the Weasleys were awake, and Dumbledore was there too, "Come, sit down, Harry," he said.

Harry sat at the table with Hagrid, George and Charlie. No one talked…

Knock knock

The minister of magic, Mr. Fudge walked into the hut, followed by a man and woman, and a teenage boy.

"Everyone," Dumbledore said, "this is Mr. and Mrs. Chang, and their son, Vince. Their daughter was kidnapped in a similar case like yours, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Please sit down."

Mr. Fudge flinched uncomfortably, "I have some bad news," he said sadly, but we were wrong about where we thought your children were. And we believe that it was He who must not be named, who is behind all this.

Everyone in the room gasped. Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Chang burst into tears.

That's when it clicked. Harry was not sure why he thought this, but he was positive that it was true…

Voldemort was after the people Harry cared about. The people he needed.

Cho Ginny and Ron could all be dead by now… and it was all his fault!
