A Moment in Time
Chapter 2
"Mum I'm home!" shouted Ginny as she walked through the door to the Burrow.
"VIRGINA WEASLEY!" yelled a very angry and tired Mrs. Weasley from the kitchen "You had better have a very good excuse for not coming home all night!"
"Oh sorry mum, I forgot to tell you I was staying at Luna's."
"AND YOU COULDN'T OWL OR FLOO TO TELL ME," shouted Mrs. Weasley getting angrier by the minute, "YOU'RE ALMOST OF AGE, AND YOU CANT REMEMBER THE LITTEST THINGS, HARRY AND I WERE WORRIED SICK!"
"Harry?" Ginny looked surprised "Why was he worried?"
"I don't know dear," said Mrs. Weasley with an unreadable look on her face "I came down around three this morning to check the clock to see if you were on your way home yet, and he was on the couch watching the door. He's asleep in there now, why don't you go wake him and apologize."
**
Ginny walked into the living room quite unsure why her mother cared that Harry knew she was home.
"Erm, Harry" whispered Ginny. "Harry wake up."
"Harry wake up already" geeze he's a heavy sleeper, thought Ginny.
"Ginny.." yawned Harry. "Where in the bloody hell have you been!" said a now very-awake Harry.
"Sorry" said Ginny rather taken back. "I stayed at Luna's last night, and I forgot to owl mum, calm down."
"Sorry," said Harry "I over-reacted a bit, I was just afraid of last year being repeated."
Ginny remembered only too well what Harry was referring too...
** The holidays aren't that far away, thought Ginny to herself as she sat by the lake after the Halloween feast. I wonder if Christmas holiday will bring me closer to Harry. She had begun to notice Harry looking at her when he thought she wasn't paying attention.
"SNAP." Ginny whipped around and came face to face with the last person she wanted to see. Lucius Malfoy, a wanted death eater, and a personal enemy of her own since her encounter with him in her second year. "Come along Weasley," snarled Lucius "The Dark Lord is in need of your services. Hopefully this time, it will end as planeed, and we won't ever meet again." Lucius grabbed her hand put a battered newspaper clipping in her hand, and she felt a familiar jerk beyond her naval as the port key began its journey.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley come with me please.... Don't ask questions Mr. Weasley, it will save us a lot of time if you don't mind" Professor McGonagall led them straight to Dumbledore's office.
"Here we are, the headmaster is waiting for you."
Harry and Ron cautiously entered the headmaster's office and sat down.
"Mr. Weasley I'm afraid your sister has been taken by Lord Voldemort." Said Dumbledore.
"The Order is searching for her right now, but we believe they took her because of the bond that Tom forged between he and Ginny down in the chamber of secrets."
"Has anyone found anything yet," asked Harry.
"Yes." Dumbledore said without divulging any further information. "I want you both to return to classes, and we will keep you informed, and Harry, Voldemort used her last time to lure you to him, remember what you did."
And that was all, Dumbledore got up and left his office.
Ron turned to Harry, and asked "What did that mean? He didn't say we couldn't go after her, Harry we've got to save her, but how do we find her."
"Hermione." They said at the same time, and went off in search of their friend.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione developed a plan to rescue Ginny. Hermione charmed three sickles to act as portkeys to help them escape if they ran into trouble while rescuing Ginny.
They had everything together, all the needed to find out was where Voldemort was hiding Ginny.
The next morning at breakfast, a strange owl dropped a letter next to Harry.
Carefully he picked it up and slid it open.
Harry,
I'm on your side.
They have her in the shrieking shack.
