Chapter 30: Let the War Begin
"Good evening, Virginia. Draco." Fred and George said at the same time when they saw their sister and Draco appear in Diagon Alley.
Ginny and Draco walked over to the twins. "Hello." Ginny said as she gave both of her brothers hugs. "Is everyone in our group here?" Draco asked in a hushed voice. Both the twins nodded. "Everyone has checked in with us and spread out along the Alleyway to wait for the signal." George responded.
"Very good." Draco said smirking, then looked down at his watch. "It is 7:45 now. Only 15 more minutes." He said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"I'm getting anxious." Ginny said. "Personally, I hope Ronald is here." She smirked. "There is nothing I would like better than to hex him into oblivion." She grinned as she looked around the busy Diagon Alley. There were so many people here tonight. Obviously there plan was going to be brilliantly executed. What a statement they were going to make to the wizarding world tonight.
"Gin, I had no idea you were ranked so high with the Dark Lord." Fred said as he put his arm around his sister's shoulder. "I'm so proud of you." He smirked at her.
"Why thank you, Fred." She said as she put her head on his shoulder for a moment. "When you did you two join?" She asked.
"We have been Death Eaters since…well since your 5th year in Hogwarts." George responded from next to Draco. "We were there when you two had your unforgivable tests." He smirked. "I must say, Gin. Seeing you kill that muggle was our proudest moment."
"Well what can I say. Mum always told me to stop following you two around. She said you were a bad influence." She smirked. "I guess she was right." Ginny said grinning. Then she looked at Draco who was looking around the crowd at Diagon Alley. "What time is it, love?"
Draco quickly looked down at his watch. "5 minutes to go." He stated then looked around the crowd. A smirk forming on his lips. "Well look who we have here." Draco drawled out.
George turned around to see who Draco was talking about and grinned. "Well isn't that pleasant." George whispered without taking his eyes off the person.
"Neville Longbottom." Fred said as he looked over in the direction that Draco and George were staring. "I wonder what he is doing here alone."
"He's not." Ginny stated as she saw Hermione Granger and Seamus Finnegan walk out of Flourish and Blotts. "Granger is mine." Ginny quickly said as s cruel smile formed on her face.
All the boys suddenly turned there heads to look at Ginny. Draco spoke first. "Well if that is what you want, then make sure you get to her first."
"Maybe we should kidnap her." Fred said looking at Ginny. "We could hold her in the Dungeons of your house."
"That's brilliant." Ginny said without taking her eyes off Hermione. "Fred. George. Your in charge of getting her and taking her back to my dungeons." She then peeled her eyes away from Hermione to look at her brothers. "And don't hurt her unless you have to." She added. "I want to be the one to torture her."
"Very well, sis." Fred and George said before walking away from Ginny and Draco and carefully following Hermione undetected.
Ginny watched her brothers walk off then she turned to Draco. "If you happen to see Potter during all this madness tell him to meet back at my house when this is all finished tonight."
Draco nodded his head and looked at the sky after he heard a loud pop. In the sky was a huge Dark Mark. "Well I guess that is our cue." He said before giving Ginny a peck on the cheek. "I will meet you later in the Dungeons. Don't start without me." He grinned Evilly before running off into the crowd of screaming people.
Ginny stood against the wall for a couple minutes taking in the scene around her. People were running and screaming. Death Eaters were screaming unforgivable curses at people and hexing them with all they knew. 'Tonight is going to be in the history books.' She thought to herself before pulling out her wand and pointing it at the nearest witch and screaming. "Avada Kedavra!" A green light busted out of her wand and hit the young lady in her chest. She dropped dead instantly.
Ginny ran quickly down the street and stopped in front of Flourish and Blotts. While pointing her wand at the window she yelled "Incendio!" A red light came out of her wand and broke through the window. Glass shattered everywhere and the beam of light finally stopped and hit a pile of books, which ignited in fire.
Ginny then turns around and standing in front of her is Seamus Finnegan. "Well if it isn't Mr. Irish." Ginny said in a mocking tone as she walked up closer to him. Seamus then raised his wand at her.
"Don't come any closer!" He said. He tried not to sound frightened, but she could tell in his eyes that he was.
"And what are you going to do if I do?" Ginny asked as she held her wand up at him and continued moving forward.
"Don't make me, Ginny." Seamus said. "I'll do it."
Ginny just laughed then spoke. "Incarcerous!" Seamus's eyes went wide as a thick rope of thin air came out of Ginny's wand and binded him at his feet. Seamus fell over. He was now laying on his back in front of her.
"Well I don't think you will be doing anything to me now." Ginny spoke with her wand still pointed at him. "Expelliarmus." She spoke in a low voice.
Seamus's wand then suddenly flew out of his hand and his eyes widened in fear. "Please don't hurt me, Ginny." He begged.
Ginny just laughed at him Evilly then yelled. "Avada Kedavra!" Seamus died the moment the green light hit him. Ginny looked down at him with an evil smile on her face then turned and walked away as if nothing happened.
Ginny was now up by Gringotts Wizard Bank. She looked around and saw mostly Death Eaters. The witches and Wizards must have either got out of Diagon Alley or died trying to. "Stupefy!" Ginny yelled over and over again while pointing her wand at different Wizards as they came into view.
"Ginny!" She heard someone yell. "Over here!" She turned around and saw Laura. She ran over to her. "Going well for you?" Ginny asked as they began walking into the Magical Menagerie.
"I killed A couple people that I don't know, but I haven't seen anyone I would really like to do some damage too." Laura responded.
"I ran into Finnegan." Ginny smirked. "Let just say that he didn't make it through our little reunion."
"I always hated him." Laura said cruelly. Then remembered something Harry told her to tell Ginny. "Oh Gin. Harry said that Draco saw him and that he will meet you back at your house when we're done here."
"Great!" Ginny grinned. "You may come as well. As I'm sure you will enjoy watching me kill Miss Hermione Granger."
"I would buy a ticket to see that." She smirked. "So count me in." Just then out of the corner of Laura's eyes she saw Professor Trelawney. "I'll catch up with you later, Gin." Laura said without taking her eyes away from her old Professor. She always hated her. Trelawney said that she didn't have an ounce of talent in her and that she would never do anything productive with her life. "I have someone to…to uh talk to."
Ginny looked at her friend and followed her eyes to her old Divination Professor. "Alright. Well tell her I said hello." Ginny said and turned to leave, but before she left she saw the most beautiful kitten still inside its cage. "I think I'll take this for the twins as a present." She thought aloud as she opened the cage and took out the small black kitten. "I'll call you Onyx." She said. Before she left the store she heard Laura Scream out the killing curse. "Well I hope she remembered to say good bye for me." Ginny smirked as she walked out of the store holding the small kitten.
Ginny look around the Alley and decided to walk up Knockturn alley. Knockturn alley was just as busy and crazy as Diagon Alley. People were running around screaming and running into stores trying to find a place to hid from the horrible Death Eaters.
Ginny walked into Borgin and Burkes holding her small cat in her hand. She had decided to send it back to the mansion by Floo so it wouldn't interfere with her mission. She walked over to the fireplace. Set the kitten down. "I will see you soon." She smiled at the kitten then grabbed some Floo Powder and threw it inside saying. "Malfoy Estate." The kitten disappeared and Ginny guessed by now was home.
"Good evening, Mrs. Malfoy." Mr. Borgin said from behind the counter.
"Lovely evening tonight, isn't it." She replied as she saw another wizard run into the store.
"It is." He replied and looked at the wizard. "Do you mind taking care of that trash for me." He asked. "I've had to deal with them running in here trying to hide for hours now." He sighed.
Ginny nodded and walked over to the middle aged wizard. She didn't say a word. She just pointed her wand at him and yelled. "Crucio!" The man writhed and shook in agony. After a couple minutes Ginny lifted the curse from him. He laid there breathing heavily and still in pain. Ginny smirked and casted it on him again. "Crucio!" Ginny kept taking the spell off and replacing it back on him until she felt that he had suffered enough. After a good half hour of torturing the man she put him out of his agony. "Avada Kedavra!" The man died instantly.
"Well done." Mr. Borgin said appraisingly.
"Thank you sir. And have a good evening." She said pleasantly as she left his store.
Just as she walked outside she saw the Dark Mark flash into the sky a couple times. She raised her wand to the sky and shouted "Morsemordre!" A light streamed out of her wand and went up into the sky to cast the dark Mark. This signaling the end of the attack tonight. Ginny then apparated home.
"Fred! George!" She yelled once she was inside the living room of her house.
"We're in the kitchen!" She heard George yell back to her.
"Figures." She said aloud to herself as she walked towards the kitchen. Once she got in there she was greeted by her brothers.
"It's done. Granger is locked up in the dungeon." Fred said after he took a sip of her soda.
"Good." She said. "So what have you made? I'm starving." She smiled and sat at the table across from Fred.
"Just some Pasta." George said as he brought her a plate. "So how was your night?" He asked.
"It went great." She smiled. "Finnegan is dead." She grinned. "Courtesy of me." She smirked.
"I always hated that git." George stated as he sat down beside Ginny.
"Yea, I've been hearing that from a lot of people tonight." She said before taking a spoonful of pasta.
"Oh good, food!" Draco said as he walked into the kitchen. He went over to Ginny kissed her on the cheek then went to grab a plate of food.
"Yea, we figured you all would be hungry when you returned. So we took it upon ourselves to make you a late night snack." Fred replied.
"Anyone else here?" He asked as he sat down on the other side of Ginny.
"No, just us." Fred said. "Oh and Granger." He informed him. "I'm sure Harry will be here soon." Just then Harry and Laura walked into the kitchen. "Well speaking of the devil." Fred said grinning.
"Yea, that's me." Harry said smirking then put his arm around Lauren. "And this is my Vixen." Lauren laughed.
"Well you two can help yourself to some Pasta." Draco said as he pointed to the pot on the stove. "The twins made it."
Harry and Laura nodded there heads and went over to make some plates. A minute later they were sitting at the table.
"So Harry. See Ron tonight?" Ginny asked.
"I did, but I didn't want to give away the surprise of me being a Death Eater yet. So I just backed into a store." He replied.
"Ah, I wish I had seen him." Ginny sighed. "I would have loved to whach that sorry excuse for a brother die in pain."
Harry laughed. "As he walked by the store he was in he was all like 'Hermione! Hermione!' Harry said trying to do his best imitation of Ron's voice. "They probably won't know till morning that she is missing." Harry added.
"Well by morning there won't be anything for them to find." She smirked then finished up the rest of her pasta. "I wonder what she will say when you sees you, Harry." Ginny asked.
"It would probably shock her to death." Draco laughed. "Hopefully it will have that affect on Dumbledore when he sees you."
Harry nodded. "One can only hope." He then shook his head in disgust. "I saw him tonight. He kill a couple of our loyal Death Eaters before apparating away from the battle."
"Who did he kill, mate?" George asked.
"Pansy's father, Mr. Parkinson." Harry stated. "Giles McCarthy and I'm pretty sure He killed Antonin Dolohov." Harry then took a sip of his soda. "Oh Draco, He did try to kill your Aunt, but he had no luck with that." Harry grinned. "She is brilliant at dueling. She is the one that made him apparate out."
"His Aunt Bella is brilliant." Ginny said before Draco could even respond. "She taught me everything she knows about Dueling last year." She stated. "After I had the twins I would practice with her when they were sleeping. And sometimes that would be hours." She added.
"My Aunt Bellatrix loves Ginny." Draco said after he finished the last bit of pasta on his plate. "She says Ginny reminds her of herself when she was that age." Draco added.
"Yes well, as much as I love your Aunt Bella I think I'm ready to head down into the Dungeons." Ginny said as she looked at her husband.
Draco nodded his head and looked around the table to everyone else. "Shall we then?"
Everyone nodded and got up from their chairs. "If you will follow me then." Draco said as he began walking towards his library. Once he got into the library he pulled a lever that was disguised as a book. Suddenly a secret passage in the wall opened up and they all walked threw it. When everyone was threw Draco pulled the lever on the other side of the door and the passage way closed behind them.
"Where did you guys put her?" Draco asked Fred and George.
"3 floors below." Fred answered and began walking. Fred and George only knew where the Dungeons were because Draco had found them during the battle and told them exactly how to get into them.
"Good." Draco said and began walking. Within a couple minutes they were right outside the room that held Miss Hermione Granger. "Would you like to go in by yourself first?" Draco asked his wife. She nodded her head. Draco pulled a key out of his pocket, opened the door and Ginny walked inside.
"It's so nice to see you again, Granger." Ginny said with fake politeness.
"What have you brought me here for?" Hermione asked bravely from her seat on the cold dungeon floor. The room was damp, dark and cold. The only light that shined into the room was from a light fixture in the ceiling above their heads.
"Well isn't it obvious, Hermione?" Ginny asked as she walked towards her.
Hermione's eyes widened in fear. "You not going to…."
Ginny nodded her head and smiled at her maliciously. "Oh I am, but not before the other's get a turn with you."
"The others?" She asked as her eyes darted to the door.
"Well did you really think I would just end your life so easily?" She asked "Did you really think it would be painless?" She laughed at her.
Hermione didn't respond. She just sat there on the ground and pulled her legs up to her chest. She didn't care if she looked scared, because she really was.
"Well before we get started I think I will introduce you to everyone." She smirked. "Would you like that?"
Hermione once again didn't say anything.
"Very well." Ginny said as she turned around and banged on the door behind her. The door opened and Ginny turned around to say one last thing before leaving. "Oh and do make yourself comfortable." She smiled. "Well as comfortable as you can, because your going to be here for a while." And with that said Ginny exited the room leaving a very frightened Hermione alone on the dungeon floor.
Once she got back with her husband and friends she looked at them smirking. "Plans have changed. I think Hermione is going to be here longer than I expected." She leaned back against the wall. "I don't think I could do what I wanted to do with her and still let everyone else have a go at her all by dawn." She stated. "So who wants to get introduced first." Ginny asked as she looked around at everyone.
