Ginny sat on the couch in hysterics as Draco paced the room back and forth. Then Ginny heard something, in her mind.
*It's going to be alright.*
The voice sounded familiar. It was Draco's!
*Draco?*
*Yes?*
Oh my god! It is Draco! Ginny thought to herself.
*Yeah, who did you think it was?*
*How can we do this?*
*I don't know, I just figured out yesterday when I could see into your mind without having to kill myself.*
*Cool. That means silent conversations without annoying kids interrupting.*
"Mum!" cried Madeline in a worried tone. "Mum! Come quick! Something's wrong with Blake!" Ginny took a quick glance at Draco before running upstairs.
Blake sat there on Madeline's bed, shaking.
Blood leaked from his hand and trickled its way down onto his clean khaki pants. Ginny gasped and picked him up quickly.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Well, he got this letter. And he grabbed it from me! That was so-"
"Forget about that! How did this happen!" cried Ginny in an exasperated voice.
"Oh yeah. Well he ripped open the letter and I rushed to tell you that he got a letter when I heard him scream. I ran back and found him like that!" she said and smiled triumphantly at her fabulous retelling of the story.
"Well, where's the letter?" Ginny asked.
"I-I don't know," Madeline squeaked.
"Draco!" Ginny cried. Draco was at the door immediately. "Draco, hold him for a second."
"What happened?" he asked outraged.
"He got a letter and Madeline raced to tell us, but he screamed, so she ran back and found him like that. But she doesn't know where the letter is or what happened," Ginny said as she searched the room frantically for any remains of this letter.
"L-letter g-gone," Blake murmured. Ginny and Draco both stared at him.
"What happened to the letter, dear?" asked Ginny.
"It-it b-blow up! A-and f-fire come out of it. A-and it h-hurt m-me!" he cried.
"Draco, please go get him cleaned up," Ginny said as she saw his blood-stained pants. Draco followed her instructions immediately, but came back with bad news.
"It won't stop bleeding," he said in a hollow whisper. Ginny stared at the blood on her son's hand and then up at Draco.
"St. Mungo's?" she asked. She didn't want to have to go there. Not after all the memories that existed in those rooms. But if her son was suffering, she would risk it.
"I guess so," Draco replied.
Ginny instructed Madeline to get dressed and tell the triplets and Kyle about what happened since she found pleasure in recalling this entrancing tale. The triplets, for once in their life, didn't question anything and quickly got dressed, their facial expression full of worry for their little brother.
Draco mailed an owl to McGonagall informing her about the incident. Then he sent another requesting a visit to Hogwarts later on to see if they could find anything about how their kids had mysteriously dropped dead in an Astronomy Tower. Ginny held Blake and Draco held Madeline's hand and they all left along with the triplets and Kyle to St. Mungo's.
"Welcome to St. Mungo's, how may I help you?" asked the secretary.
"My son has a wound that won't stop bleeding. We have no clue how it occurred."
"Follow me." They all followed her to a room that held all sorts of young kids with all sorts of wounds. Blake was placed at the very end near the window. "A doctor will be with you shortly." Five minutes later a doctor walked in and sat down next to Blake.
"Hi, I'm Mr. Hemmert. I'll be your doctor. Anyway, what's the matter with the kid?" Ginny explained what had happened as the doctor inspected the whimpering child.
"I might have a solution." He left the room and reentered carrying a bottle full of a purple liquid. He placed a tad on Blake's wound.
"Wait three days. It should heal by then. If not, well let's just hope it does." He left the room and Ginny felt a horrid feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"I don't care if he gets better! He's a spoiled oaf!" cried Kyle indignantly.
"Kyle Malfoy! I will not allow you to speak like that about your brother!" Ginny cried.
"But it's true!" and with that he stomped away angrily. Draco went after him.
"Mum, is Blake going to be alright?" asked Natalie shyly,
"I hope so, dear, I hope so," Ginny replied with a sad look in her eyes.
Two days passed and Blake's arm seemed to have healed up. But not everything was great. Ginny and Draco were talking to each other about the owl they had received from Hogwarts when they heard cries and screaming from the hallways. They looked around.
Kyle was missing.
Ginny out Madeline down and ran outside.
There on the floor lay Kyle.
There was no blood, no wounds.
Just one word: WARNING.
Ginny fell on the floor, sobbing gently. Even though Kyle had behaved like Lucius and been real stubborn, Ginny couldn't help but cry at the loss of the angelic son he used to be. Draco and the kids came out a minute later. They all paused at the site of their brother, dead. Draco went over to comfort Ginny.
"Mummy, what happened?" asked a frightened and sobbing Madeline. Ginny just continued sobbing and Draco motioned to the triplets to take Madeline back to Blake.
Draco entered the room with Ginny two hours later. They had gone around asking anyone if they had seen anything. The strangest thing was no one remembered seeing anything. They just heard cries and a couple minutes later Kyle appeared dead near the message.
Ginny sat down on the chair, her eyes distant along with her mind. She placed Madeline gingerly on her lap and cuddled her. Madeline held on tight. Then Draco spoke up.
"You guys all know about what happened to Matthew, Megan, Eric, and Jacob, right?" he asked. They all nodded. "Well, we're going to go to Hogwarts to check out some stuff. You kids are going to stay with your Great Aunt Caitlin."
"I'd don't like the Great part, makes me sound old," replied a voice.
Then in walked Caitlin. Caitlin had gotten married 2 years ago to a man named James Flakes. They had a daughter recently born named Caprice. She was only 3 months old. She had few strands of red hair that covered her creamy colored skin, which she inherited from her dad, and her eyes shone bright green after both her mum and dad. Caitlin had long black hair and green eyes. She had a creamy complexion and a few freckles that dotted her face lightly. James had red hair and green eyes
"I'm sorry then," laughed Draco, "they'll call you Aunt Caitlin then."
"That's better!" she cried. "Now I want some hugs!" she cried. Madeline hopped off of Ginny's lap and ran into Caitlin's outstretched arms.
"Can I call you Aunt Cay?" asked Madeline.
"Sure, sweetie!" Then after the hugging ceremony, Caitlin took the kids back home and Draco and Ginny were allowed to take Blake home. The wound had stopped bleeding and closed up. Ginny sent Blake with Caitlin and headed to Hogwarts.
She stated the password and the gargoyle jumped aside. She climbed the stairs with Draco and was soon seated inside.
"Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy. I haven't seen you two in a long time. I'm sorry I had to see you on such tragic days." She smiled sweetly and they began to talk business.
"What else was found along with their bodies?" asked Draco.
"A note. More like writing near the body. It said WARNING."
"That's what the other note said, too," Ginny quipped in.
"You said the bodies were investigated. Did they find anything?" Draco asked,
"No, nothing. There were no marks or wounds. There was no poison." Replied Minerva solemnly. Draco looked outside pondering these odd cases.
"Where were they before they headed up there?" Ginny asked.
"We aren't sure they even went up there. The bodies might've been dragged up there. But their friends told us that they had been out on the Quidditch field. Then they had all said they had to go somewhere and left at the same time. But no one followed them. No one heard any screams. It was quite unusual. Have you informed your father about Kyle and Blake?"
"Yes, she has," replied a voice. Severus Snape walked in.
But he looked different.
He no longer had the ugly teeth and the old looking face. He looked younger and Ginny knew why. He had been under an aging potion on purpose. Now he looked much more handsome and young. His hair was still the same length but his teeth were now bright white and aligned perfectly. His body was firm and burly. He was perfect.
But the only thing that startled Ginny was the person next to him.
