A/N I know that last chapter was getting short, but some people want me to update faster and with this busy schedule of mine I have to cut back on the chaps. But yea this is almost done; I wasn't planning on this to be a really long story. Oh enough of my babbling. Oh and BTW I received my information at a site that refuses to show up here! But go to google, Astral Planes and you should find it!

Chapter 5- Going after Voldemort

"What are you talking about Hermione?" Harry asked, glued to his seat.

"Well, what Dumbledore means by "other worlds" is other "planes"?"

"Other what?"

"Planes...and I think he's referring to the Astral Plane; other wise known as the ghost plane; a.k.a. after life."

"So, Voldemort is in the astral plane?"

"I think so....it would make sense. This is my conclusion: Voldemort knew that you would go to Dumbledore. He also knows that Dumbledore knows that he's not in this living world anymore. So, since you would assume that he was too scared of Dumbledore, he entered the astral plane. So he would be close enough to Dumbledore to keep an eye on you and to make you believe that he wouldn't be in Hogwarts---"

"Because of Dumbledore." Hermione and Harry said in unison.

"Exactly!" Hermione said shutting the book. Hermione jumped as the old clock struck twelve. "Midnight." She said. "Harry, you only have 72 hours to find Ginny and Daniel and destroy Voldemort. Good luck."

"Astral Planes...astral planes...where the hell that book!" Harry said throwing books off the shelves of Hogwarts Library. "Ah ha! I found it! Hogwarts A History." He flipped through a couple pages before stopping.

The Astral Plane is sometimes referred to as the fourth dimension, a lower
range of which is a primitive material dimension with superstitious beliefs. Individuals do not lose their astral bodies in quite the same way that a material body is lost. It becomes more rarefied, and refined as the lower drops away. That is its death, for death really means transformation, resurrection, the rising of the higher out of the lower. The experience in the astral world is like a dream world. It is not a dream for those who are
living in it; it is a real world to them. It becomes a dream when they awaken from it and recall the experience. No living person can enter the astral plane by themselves. They need to have assistance by those others that do not have souls. Hogwarts is known for its astral plane where many
of its ghosts resign.

"How am I supposed to save Ginny?" Harry questioned himself.

"It won't be an easy task Harry," replied Dumbledore as he stepped out from the shadows. "This is all about sacrifices. Ginny is sacrificing herself for you..."

"But why would Voldemort want her?"

"Because her love for you is so pure, that it might just help bring him back. This is why he wants Daniel too. You share almost the same blood, same powers as Voldemort does. And when Daniel was conceived, you transferred some of that to him."

"I don't know what to do Professor—" Harry began on the verge of tears. "How am I supposed to save the most important things to me?"

"Follow your heart Harry. It will never lead you wrong."
Ginny crept around the corner making sure no one was coming. She swiftly ran down the long corridor, and jumped as she heard piercing screams come from an enclosed room. She looked in the room by the window in the door, and gasped at what she saw. She had never seen anything like it, so she assumed that it was a muggle invention. Dan was lying, strapped on a metal table, with wires hooked up to his head and chest. She could see his knuckles had turned red from grasping the table. Tears streamed down his face, and one wizard pushed the button again that made him scream out in pain. "My baby..." she whispered. "Don't hurt my baby! Alohomora!" the door flew open, and Ginny pulled out her wand which she always kept in the back of her pant. "Stupefy!" Ginny yelled as she pointed her wand to all of the wizards. Keeping her wand at the ready, she walked over to Daniel and stroked his face. "It's okay..." Ginny whispered, ignoring the fact that Dan was pointing to something behind her. He let out another scream, and Ginny turned around. But before she could do anything she was hit in the head with something heavy. She collapsed to the ground, the floor quickly being covered in a blanket of blood.
Harry screamed out in agony. Professor Dumbledore stood watching, as Harry began to cry. Harry put his hand to his head, and when he removed it it was covered in blood. Dumbledore sighed, "You are more connected than I thought....."

A/N I got really into this chapter for some reason. Hope you like!
