Harry Potter and the Siren's Song
Chapter 7
"The Chosen Few"
Ginny Weasley sighed as she leaned up against Draco Malfoy in the Astronomy Tower. Stargazing had become a major pasttime for the two and a convienent way for them to spend time together.
"What's on your mind Ginger?" Malfoy asked softly running his finger's through her coppery hair.
"Nothing much. I'm worried about my friends, about Us, about....well the future." she answered, blushing slightly at his use of a pet name for her.
"Well maybe I can help a bit." He said as he pulled her up to face him.
"First of all, Us- you have nothing to worry about and I will let you in on a little secret. I've had a-a- thing for you ever since your first year when you stood up to me in the train. I liked seeing a girl who didn't fear me for my reptuatation or be in awe of me because of my family. When you had your crush on Potter--well that was Jealousy. I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be. After I graduate, I'm going into Hiding. I refuse to be invovled in anything the Dark lord has planned. I'm not stupid...there is a reason Harry Potter lived. I'd like to live to find out why."
Ginny's hopes soared...she knew it, he wasn't all that bad.
"As to your friends...they'll be alright. Besides, no one will mess with Veronica and get away with it. My nose still remembers..."
They laughed together softly and Ginny snuggled just a little closer as a chilly wind blew over them. Draco lowered his face to hers
"As for the future, the only one I am worried about is the one that involves me kissing you in about two seconds."
Ginny started for a second, but as she felt Malfoy's warm lips on hers, she relaxed and silently begged the stars to make this moment last.

As Madame Pomfrey watched them walk down the hall the four Gryffindors were uncharacteristically silent. It was Veronica who finally broke the silence.
"I'm sorry. I meant to tell you all sooner...but I just didn't know how you'd react. I mean Harry, I'm the daughter of the man who killed your parents and tried to kill you. Hermione, my father's killed hundreds of people like you. Ron, I've put you in danger just by caring for you. I don't see how you three can still look me in the eye."
She hung her head and tried to hold in her sobs. The group smiled as they all gave her a huge hug.. Her shocked face made them all laugh.
"Ronzi, you are not your father. That's all we need to know." Harry said.
She looked him dead in the eye and smiled the biggest and brightest of any smile Harry had seen.
TOgether the four teens walked back to Gryffindor tower. The Fat Lady smiled as they approached.
"Veronica? isn't one of you Veronica?"
The four were visibly startled. THe fat lady had never called out their names before.
"I am Veronica."
"Dear you must tell your friends not to try to come and see you without a visitor's badge. He nearly made me slip my frame, trying to pry me open."
"What?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"Yes dear, the man in the black cloak and hood. Most charming actually....looked very familiar. I couldn't place him though. I didn't let him in though...you know the rules. No password, No entrance."
"Lion paw, by the way." said Ron, trying to get passed the portrait
"Thank you dears, and have a nice night!"
The four entered the common room in shocked silence. They sat on the overstuffed furniture and stared at each other. Professor McGonagall entered and interuppted their silence.
"I understand that you had a visitor Miss Snape?" she asked in worry.
"He's here isn't he Professor?" Veronica asked softly with tears in her eyes.
"Yes dear, we think he is. We don't know how but...thats not important. What is important is that the Headmaster wishes to see the four of you immediately."
Together they left toward Dumbledore's office. Harry noticed that McGonagall kept her wand drawn until they reached the gargoyle.
"Cadbury's Creme Eggs." she said as she ushered them into the passageway. Ron grabbed ahold of Veronica's hand and Harry instinctively grabbed Hermione's.
"Welcome Harry, Hermione, Ron, Veronica. It has been brought to my attention that a visitor has been spotted in this Castle. I am sure that you need no information on this visitor's identity given Miss Veronica's parentry."
"Is there anything we can do, Professor Dumbledore?" Ron asked in a slightly wavering voice.
Dumbledore sat in silence for many a minute thinking.
"He will try to take her. There is no stopping that. The only thing we can really do is try to find the Chosen and protect him from himself and from Voldemort."
Ron and Hermione flinched as he said the name.
"How do we find out the chosen?" Hermione asked
"I would like the four of you to take a look at this please." He said as he handed a crumbling parchment to them. They read this:
"Six are the chosen ones
Five and One they number.
They will awaken to their destiny
While the world does slumber
Three of fire, One of night.
Best friends, family and Lovers
One a Shining silver star
One a honey color
The dragon and the dove
the owl and the Stag
The weasel and the Nighting gale
All together must be had.
Apart they are vulnerable
Together they are strong
Destroyed and brought together
all by the Nighting Gale's song
It is through the heart you must fight
If your battle you wish to win
The key to utter defeat lies within the heart.
For it was there that everything begins."
"I don't understand." whispered Hermione as she finsihed.
"I believe you all will soon." Dumbledore said. "Until that time, I must caution you all. THings are not what they might seem. Be on your guard all of you. Veronica you most of all."
With a wave he dismissed them and together they returned to Gryffindor tower. Just in time to see Ginny and Draco locked in a kiss.
"You bloody git! get the hell away from my sister!" Ron screamed, running toward the surprised couple.
"Ron!" Veronica cried grabbing his arm." Stop!"
The Gryffindor's stared at the caught couple. Hermione surveyed the sight. So not good, she thought. Ron looks like he's about to burst into flames. If his face gets any redder i would look as if it was burning!
A line from the parchment they had just read floated into her head.
"Three of fire, One of night...Best friends, family and Lovers...One a Shining silver star...One a honey color" she whispered.
"Mione?" Harry asked.
"What is she going on about?" Malfoy asked the moonlight making his pale blonde hair shine like silver.
"That's IT!" Hermione said.
"What?" asked the three redheads.
"The line...Three of fire, One of night; Best friends, family and Lovers; One a Shining silver star; One a honey color...Ron, you, Ronzi and Ginny are all red heads. Three of FLame. Harry, your hair is black, One is night. We are all best friends, Ginny and Ron are brother and sister, family, Malfoy's the silver star and I must be the..."
"Honey...your hair is a honey brown color. Wait there is another line...soemthing about lovers?" Harry said ignoring the confused looks from the other side of the room.
"Well Ron and Ronzi are together...and we...uh..."
"I would certainly hope so" Harry said smiling as Hermione blushed.
"That would mean that Malfoy and Ginny..."
"No Way!" Ron bellowed. "No with my sister..."
"Oh shove it Ron!" Said Ginny as she ran into the tower.
Malfoy stood there with a surprised look on his face.
"Um, hate to trouble you all but what the bloody hell is going on?"
Harry and HErmione looked at each other.
"Malfoy." Harry began "Would you like to come in?"

Voldemort smiled as he watched the group of children enter the tower.
"Soon, Darling....You'll be with Daddy soon."
