*Lucius Sikilmituile on her knees in front of all readers*: Please, please
don't kill Winterbreath, it wasn't her fault. I'm the one who uploads the
chapters and I'm the one who was not able to do it in the last three weeks,
after she sent me this wonderful, perfect chapy. Please don't kill her or
sue her, it's all my fault. I'm terribly sorry.
Disclaimer: We don't own Harry Potter, we don't own Charlie's Angels..., we don't own Charmed, we don't own Buffy, we don't own Lord of the Rings... (O.K., the last three have nothing to do with this story, but either way..life sucks!)
A/N.: This chapter is dedicated to everyone who reviewed. In other words to: Lucius Sikilmituile, Eliza Evenstar, Sakurayui01 and to a person who forgot to write his/her name on the review. Thanks a lot guys!
Sorry that it took me so long to update, but I had no idea what to write and I thought, better update later than put a bad chapter into the story.. Although this one won't be that good probably, oh well, I hope you enjoy it anyway, it's the longest up to now ^_^ (At least something good about it!)
CHAPTER 6: GETTING READY FOR THE ACTIO
What happened last time..
"Well, let's see what we have here." the aforementioned man whispered opening the envelope with the dagger and pulling out two photos which he laid, side by side, in front of him. Then he looked them over, still playing with the dagger. One of the photos showed six young men and women talking animatedly with each other and laughing. The other one was a picture showing the face of one of them, this one especially caught Lucifer's attention and, while he smiled evilly, his eyes turned a dark shade of violet. Then he slammed the dagger right into the photo.
"You will pay.." he hissed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Meanwhile in Mystic Alley Nr 3.
Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Kevin hurriedly entered the house. Even though they had apparated to the front door they were soaking wet due to the heavy storm.
"Damn rain! I hate storms!" Luna grumbled.
"Hmmm, I love them. It's so cozy to sit in front of the chimney, lit a fire and drink hot chocolate while it's raining outside.. I don't like getting wet though!" Hermione said.
"Don't tell me! And I thought everybody loved the feeling of wet jeans clinging to the skin!" Ginny exclaimed. Their interesting conversation was interrupted by Kevin who had already checked their e-mail box.
"Hey girls, come over here, we've got an answer from Lucifer Damon!"
The three went into their office and gathered around the computer, looking expectantly at the screen. As soon as they were beside him, Kevin opened the mail containing the awaited answer.
The letter read:
Dear Mr Alberti,
Mr Damon was very pleased about your offer to send help and is looking forward to meet Ms Bonetti and our work together.
We'll be awating her tomorrow afternoon in our headquarters, she'll have a room step up for her so she shouldn't worry about her logings.
To arrive here she can take the floo net. She must only say Obscuritas Manor floo room and she will appear in the only room with a chimney connected to the floo net (safety reasons) some of our men will be awaiting her there and lead her to Mr Damon.
Looking forward to common criminal activities,
Jackson Hunter.
"Jackson Hunter.. That's Damon's second man, isn't he?" Luna asked.
"Yes," Kevin answered and then clicked a few links on the computer till he was in the Auror's database and there in the criminal's files. Once there he opened the file belonging to Jackson Hunter and a photo appeared on the screen, along with some information.
"An ugly guy with an ugly lifestyle," Ginny commented when she had read the information.
"Ugly is right. On his list of commited crimes you find everything from robbery over rape to murder!" Hermione exclaimed.
"All in all, your average bad guy from next door," Luna resumed.
After that they stood some seconds silently around the computer, lost in thoughts until Ginny broke the silence.
"Well, I'd better get myself ready and work out what charms to use to disguise myself."
"I'll help you!" Luna offered.
"And I'm gonna prepare the mind potion!" Hermione said, immediately walking to her "lab".
"Looks like it's my turn to prepare dinner.." Kevin sighed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Ginny's room...
Ginny stood in front of the mirror, a photo of Lara Bonetti (the terrorist she should replace) in hands. After studying it eagerly for some minutes she handed it to Luna and began performing some charms on herself. First she let her hair grow so it flowed to her mid- back, darkened it so it became an almost black shade of brown, then she moved on to her eyes which she also charmed to be dark brown and her skin to be tanned nicely.
"What do you think?" she asked Luna
The blonde studied the photo and then her friend: "I think you should do something about the cold look in her eyes, yours still look too soft!" "Hmmm.. You're right! I'm supposed to have no mercy..." she then performed another spell on her eyes.
"What now?"
"Perfect! You make me shudder!"
Ginny grinned: "Then I should visit Snape!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Hermione's Laboratory...
Meanwhile Hermione was busy in her lab, preparing the mind potion. This was an invention of her own. It allowed those who drank from it to be in a constant telepathic communication which couldn't be traced even with the strongest of spells. To activate the communication you simply had to say some accorded code word in your mind (which in their case was simply "hey girls") and to deactivate it, the same ("bye girls"). This way, Ginny would be able to keep them informed without rising suspicions and to call for help if needed.
When she was ready mixing the ingredients together she left the potion brewing as it would take another hour to be ready and left for the kitchen where a warm dinner was awaiting her.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Kitchen...
When Hermione entered the kitchen the others were already waiting for her.
"It is about time you came! I'm starving!" Ginny exclaimed.
Hermione laughed: "You can't deny you're Ron's sister!"
"Haha! Very funny!"
"Ehhh girls, I don't want to interrupt you but.. Did someone tell the boys that the plan is developing as we wished?" Luna interrupted them.
"Ermh.. No?" Ginny asked.
"I'll do it when we are finished!" Hermione stated.
"Fine, now you have everything arranged, make me the honour and taste my improved spaghetti bolognese!" Kevin announced placing a huge bowl full of delicious smelling spaghetti in front of them.
"Darling, you know how to win a girls heart!" Ginny said smiling at him.
"Do you want to know how you can win my heart love?", he asked seductively.
"No, tell me" she asked with an equal tone of voice.
"You can... wash the dishes afterwards!"
Ginny stuck her tongue out at Kevin while everybody else laughed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^|*^*^*
Draco's flat
Draco had just finished his instant noodles (A/N: Single food!) when the phone rang.
"That must be Hermione!" he thought while walking over to the phone.
D.: "Hello, here Draco Malfoy."
Hr.: "Hey Draco, here's Mione, I just wanted to tell you that we received a mail from one of Damon's co-workers, everything is going as planed!"
D.: "Great! Do you have some time to talk?"
Hr.: "Unfortunately no, I have to finish an important potion.. But what about meeting for lunch tomorrow, Ginny will want to be alone with Kevin before we start the thing."
D.: "Sure, I'll pick you up at one o'clock."
Hr.: "O.K., see you tomorrow, I love you!"
D.: "I love you, too. Till tomorrow then!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
A few minutes later, Hermione's lab.
The three girls were standing in front of the kettle. The potion brewing inside was of a very bright yellow, it almost looked like liquid light and it was enough to lighten the otherwise dark room, as | |no lights were allowed for the spell on it and the drinking of the potion had to be done in complete darkness.
After Hermione had stirred the potion once again, each girl put one of their hairs in it (it was necessary in order to create the bond between them). Then, while Hermione stirred again so the hairs would dissolve in the potion the girls chanted the spell.
"Potion of mind, colour of light, allow us to stay connected. At the call of hey girls and our bond shan't be intercepted. Potion of mind, colour of light, the connection shall be dead. At the call of bye girls in our heads."
When they had finished the incantation the potion shimmered even more brightly for a few seconds, blinding them. Then the light disappeared and it simply glowed intensely. Smiling satisfied with themselves, they parted the potion into three equal parts and drank them. Luckily it tasted really good.
"Well, now we should test if it works properly, with this kind of potions you never know!" Hermione said.
"O.K., I'll go upstairs." Luna said.
"And I'll go to the kitchen!" (A/N: Guess who said that ^_^).
"Good, I'll go into the office." A few seconds later Hermione started the connection (It needn't be said by the three at the same time, it was started when one of them said it).
"Hey girls!" she thought and then "Can you hear me?"
"Perfectly clear!" Ginny's voice sounded in her mind.
"Same here!" Came Luna's reply.
"Great! Then we are finished with the preparations and can enjoy our last evening together. Bye girls!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Next morning, Auror's office in the Ministry of Magic.
The following morning was a noisy and crowded one at the Auror's office. Everybody wanted to talk to Harry, Ron and Draco to get to know something about the Angels. How they looked like, if they were nice or stuck up... things like those. The boys however stuck to their word and told nobody details. Well, except for Tonks.
|"WHAT!" she screamed after Harry had revealed the Angels' identity in the privacy of his office. (A/N: Free your minds of perverted thoughts!)
"Shhhhh!" Harry shushed her urgently.
"Sorry!" she whispered and then she repeated her question, "You mean the girls, our girls are the Angels? If it wasn't you telling me, but another person I'd swear he was lying! Those calm, sweet girls are the Angels?.. Although, now that I think about it, they couldn't keep themselves from coming along on your adventures, even when they attended school.. Regarding that, it's not so strange.."
"You're right! And, will you take the job as our contact person when needed?"
"Of course! Now I'm looking forward to meet the girls today! We have so much to tell each other! I had the nightwatch, meaning I can go as soon as our boss arrives, then I'll immediately go to see them."
Harry had to laugh about his older friend's obvious excitement: "Do that, they are happy about any help they can get, plus they were also looking forward to see you again!"
Suddenly they were interrupted by a loud, booming voice: "POTTER, MALFOY, WEASLEY! INTO MY OFFICE, NOW!!!!"
"O.K.," said Tonks, "That friendly invitaton for you was my ticket out of here, see you tomorrow!"
"Bye Tonks!" Harry said when they parted at his office door.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Lunchtime, Harry and Luna...
To privately celebrate her return (and in order to leave Ginny and Kevin alone), Harry had invited Luna over to his apartment to cook for her. They were eating his famous chicken with mashed potatoes and salad and talking about everything they had missed in each other's life's while Luna was in the U.S. with the others.
"Now everything is alright again!" Harry sighed contently while they were sitting on the couch and he had Luna in his arms, "You three are back, Mione and Draco are together again."
"And an evil psychopath wants to conquer the world!" Luna finished.
"Well, perhaps not everything is alright." he admitted grinning.
"Why not? If there wasn't any evil guy wanting to conquer or destroy the world I would be concerned. I mean, I wouldn't know what to think.. It would be too.. Awkward!"
"Hmmm, I also wouldn't know what to think if there was no more criminality. Plus, if it was so I'd be out of work."
"Let's not talk about work now honey."
"Have you got something more pleasant in mind?" Harry asked his fianceé.
"What about our wedding? After all, it'll be in June!"
"That sounds a whole lot better than speaking about crazy would be dark evil overlords." (A/N: Me and Lucius, we love that term, dark evil overlord, don't ask why, we are strange).
The two sat together discussing the details of the wedding until four o'clock when they went to the girl's house in order to see Ginny depart and wish her good luck.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Lunchtime, Hermione and Draco
The reunited couple sat on the terrace of Draco's favourite Italian restaurant. As he knew that Mione shared his liking for Italian food he had immediately thought of taking her there when they had fixed their date the day before.
During most of the meal they didn't say a word, simply happy about being in each others company and looking into the other's eyes. Draco couldn't believe his luck, he had Hermione back, the only girl he had ever truely loved and it was as if they had never separated. That was the moment in which he swore to himself that he would do everything never to lose her again, he wouldn't ever act as foolishly as he had on their last schoolday, he would trust in their love as she had always done.
When they were done with their lunch they went for a walk in the park. After the storm the day before the air was fresh and invited you to breath in deeply. The birds sang happy tunes welcoming the new as the two lovers walked arm in arm, Hermione with her head on Draco's shoulder, through the park, talking about their renewed relationship |and their hopes and plans for the future.
At four o'clock, just like Harry and Luna, they apparated at the girls house.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Lunchtime, Ginny and Kevin...
When Ginny entered the kitchen after her shower she gasped. The room was completely dark except for the light shining from the candles on the table. In between them stood vases with roses form which a heavy scent emanated, perfuming (A/N: Does that word exist?) the whole room. She also noticed that her favourite food had been cooked and a CD of her favourite artist, Celine Dion, was playing. Suddenly she felt someones presence behind her and soon two arms wrapped around her waist.
"Do you like it?" Kevin asked with his deep, pleasant voice.
Ginny crooked her head to the side and looked upwards so she could see his dark green eyes: "It's wonderful, you really outdid yourself!" she said smiling lovingly at him.
"Then let's sit down and enjoy our last hours together before we have to part for a long time."
He then led her to the table and drew back her chair for her like a perfect gentleman before sitting down across from her. The two ate their meal encaptured in a pleasant conversation. After the dessert Kevin stood up, walked over to Ginny and offered her his hand to help her get up.
To her pleasant surprise he led her to the centre of the room, pulled her towards him and started dancing like they had often done on their first dates, before their job took most of their time. Happy to do this once more she leaned her head on his shoulder, smiling contently to herself. Being in each other's arms the two got lost in the music completely forgetting everything around them.
After their dance they moved over to the living room and sat down on the couch, Ginny sitting on Kevin's lap and leaning against his chest. There they talked, just like the other's had done, about their future plans.
At four o'clock they decided to go to the office and await the others there.
"When you come back darling we will talk about our wedding," Kevin said.
"You can bet on that!" Ginny answered planting a feather light kiss on his lips, "But one thing I'll tell you, my dream wedding would be on October the 5th, the day of our first date."
"Sounds like a wonderful idea," was the last thing he could say before they heard the elevator.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
In "Heaven", the whole gang..
Ron had been the last one to arrive, of course he had wanted to see his sister off. Tonks was also there, the girls had invited her after she had helped them unpack that morning and they had had the possibility to catch up, she was really excited about being a part of their plan and touched that they trusted her so much.
Before Ginny stepped into the elevator she was fiercly hugged by Hermione, Luna, Tonks, Harry and Ron and received a reassuring handshake from Draco. Kevin was the last one to say goodbye to her. After hugging her as if he didn't want to let her go he kissed her passionately, both forgetting they had spectators. While the women and Harry grinned and Draco smirked in amusement, Ron was practically fuming but didn't say anything, afraid of making a fool of himself and parting from his sister in the middle of an argument, that could disturb her concentration and she would be in an even greater danger than she was anyway.
With a last glance on those she loved Ginny stepped into the fireplace, took a deep breath a shouted clearly: "Obscuritas Manor floo room!" only to disappear with a hiss of the flames.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Obscuritas manor floo room..
When Ginny opened her eyes she found herself standing in a huge chimney carved of black stone, she was in her destination.
"I wonder what awaits me here.." she thought. Suddenly a voice broke her out of her reverie.
"Welcome in Obscuritas Manor Miss Bonetti!"
Following the source of the voice she stepped out of the fireplace and turned left coming face to face with three smugly grinning man.
"Oh joy!" she thought.
A/N.: O.K., O.K., I know, this was cliffy again and I had promised not to end this chapter with a cliffhanger, at least this one is not so bad. *grins evilly* but I didn't solve last chapter's cliffhanger either! I'm so evil muahahaha! Who knows? Perhaps I'll solve it in the| |next chap..
Voldi: "Why am I not in this fic?"
Me: " V_ Voldi? What are you doing here?"
Voldi: "Don't call me that! I'm here because I want to know why I'm not in this fic."
Me *annoyed*: "O.K., O.K... Voldemort.. you're not in this fic cause you are. well.. dead!"
Voldi: "What? Dead? Me? I'm not supposed to be dead! I even put that spell on me!"
Me: "Well, you are dead! You're a ghost! If you don't believe me, look into that mirror, you will see no reflection."
Voldi *looks into mirror*: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Me *grins evilly*: "Yes! I'm sorry Voldi, but it's the truth!"
Voldi: "I told you not to call me that! Now you shall see what you get when you mess with me! *takes out wand* Avada Ked.."
Me *pissed off*: "Shut up Snake Boy! I'm the author, I call you what I want and if you try to curse me I'll write a fic in which you make such a great fool of yourself that the whole world, both magical and muggle, will laugh at you. You know I can do that, I wrote you are dead and now you are so.."
Voldi: "How dare you, you."
Me *fixes him with ice cold death glare*
Voldi *intimidated*: "O.K., O.K., whatever you say!"
Me *superior smile*: "That's way better! Now I'll answer the reviews!"
Answers to your reviews:
Lucius Sikilmituile: I don't know if I could arrange a date between you and Lucifer.. I can ask him, but I don't guarantee for anything plus, at the end of this fic he'll probably be dead.. Anyway, thanks for revewing and for not killing me ^_^
Eliza Evenstar: Well, last chapter's suspense is still there.. And will be for some time! As to your question concerning Lucius and Lucifer: Lucius Sikilmituile is my the best friend of my pseudo-co-author and me, due to some technical problems on my side which I explained in my author's notes, she is the one who uploads the story on ff.net. Btw, I'm really, really flattered about your review, I feel so honoured! Thanks a lot! ^_^ (Sorry that this chapter wasn't that good, at least the final author's note was funny!).
Sakurayui01: Thanks for your review! I share your opinion, Umbridge should pay (The thing with the centaurs wasn't enough). Perhaps I should hide a casette recorder in her house and the use a remote control to start it. Of course it would play a casette with the noise of horse hooves clicking *laughs evilly*. What do you think? Good plan? I still have to think of something to make Lestrange suffer, that will be more difficult (she can bare many things if she was able to kill her own cousin!). Before I forget, I love the nicknames for those two bitches. Good work!
Person who forgot to write his/her name: Thanks for your review. Believe me, you are making sense! I mean, as I already said, my best friend always loves the movie's bad guys so I'm accustomed to that. The fighting will come in later chapters, I think there will be some in the second from now. About who is going to pay.. It will be revealed in the same chapter I guess! Thanks for your review and adding me to your favourites list!

The following morning was a noisy and crowded one at the Auror's office. Everybody wanted to talk to Harry, Ron and Draco to get to know something about the Angels. How they looked like, if they were nice or stuck up... things like those. The boys however stuck to their word and told nobody details. Well, except for Tonks.
|"WHAT!" she screamed after Harry had revealed the Angels' identity in the privacy of his office. (A/N: Free your minds of perverted thoughts!)
"Shhhhh!" Harry shushed her urgently.
"Sorry!" she whispered and then she repeated her question, "You mean the girls, our girls are the Angels? If it wasn't you telling me, but another person I'd swear he was lying! Those calm, sweet girls are the Angels?.. Although, now that I think about it, they couldn't keep themselves from coming along on your adventures, even when they attended school.. Regarding that, it's not so strange.."
"You're right! And, will you take the job as our contact person when needed?"
"Of course! Now I'm looking forward to meet the girls today! We have so much to tell each other! I had the nightwatch, meaning I can go as soon as our boss arrives, then I'll immediately go to see them."
Harry had to laugh about his older friend's obvious excitement: "Do that, they are happy about any help they can get, plus they were also looking forward to see you again!"
Suddenly they were interrupted by a loud, booming voice: "POTTER, MALFOY, WEASLEY! INTO MY OFFICE, NOW!!!!"
"O.K.," said Tonks, "That friendly invitaton for you was my ticket out of here, see you tomorrow!"
"Bye Tonks!" Harry said when they parted at his office door.

Lunchtime, Harry and Luna...
To privately celebrate her return (and in order to leave Ginny and Kevin alone), Harry had invited Luna over to his apartment to cook for her. They were eating his famous chicken with mashed potatoes and salad and talking about everything they had missed in each other's life's while Luna was in the U.S. with the others.
"Now everything is alright again!" Harry sighed contently while they were sitting on the couch and he had Luna in his arms, "You three are back, Mione and Draco are together again."
"And an evil psychopath wants to conquer the world!" Luna finished.
"Well, perhaps not everything is alright." he admitted grinning.
"Why not? If there wasn't any evil guy wanting to conquer or destroy the world I would be concerned. I mean, I wouldn't know what to think.. It would be too.. Awkward!"
"Hmmm, I also wouldn't know what to think if there was no more criminality. Plus, if it was so I'd be out of work."
"Let's not talk about work now honey."
"Have you got something more pleasant in mind?" Harry asked his fianceé.
"What about our wedding? After all, it'll be in June!"
"That sounds a whole lot better than speaking about crazy would be dark evil overlords." (A/N: Me and Lucius, we love that term, dark evil overlord, don't ask why, we are strange).
The two sat together discussing the details of the wedding until four o'clock when they went to the girl's house in order to see Ginny depart and wish her good luck.

Lunchtime, Hermione and Draco
The reunited couple sat on the terrace of Draco's favourite Italian restaurant. As he knew that Mione shared his liking for Italian food he had immediately thought of taking her there when they had fixed their date the day before.
During most of the meal they didn't say a word, simply happy about being in each others company and looking into the other's eyes. Draco couldn't believe his luck, he had Hermione back, the only girl he had ever truely loved and it was as if they had never separated. That was the moment in which he swore to himself that he would do everything never to lose her again, he wouldn't ever act as foolishly as he had on their last schoolday, he would trust in their love as she had always done.
When they were done with their lunch they went for a walk in the park. After the storm the day before the air was fresh and invited you to breath in deeply. The birds sang happy tunes welcoming the new as the two lovers walked arm in arm, Hermione with her head on Draco's shoulder, through the park, talking about their renewed relationship |and their hopes and plans for the future.
At four o'clock, just like Harry and Luna, they apparated at the girls house.

Lunchtime, Ginny and Kevin...
When Ginny entered the kitchen after her shower she gasped. The room was completely dark except for the light shining from the candles on the table. In between them stood vases with roses form which a heavy scent emanated, perfuming (A/N: Does that word exist?) the whole room. She also noticed that her favourite food had been cooked and a CD of her favourite artist, Celine Dion, was playing. Suddenly she felt someones presence behind her and soon two arms wrapped around her waist.
"Do you like it?" Kevin asked with his deep, pleasant voice.
Ginny crooked her head to the side and looked upwards so she could see his dark green eyes: "It's wonderful, you really outdid yourself!" she said smiling lovingly at him.
"Then let's sit down and enjoy our last hours together before we have to part for a long time."
He then led her to the table and drew back her chair for her like a perfect gentleman before sitting down across from her. The two ate their meal encaptured in a pleasant conversation. After the dessert Kevin stood up, walked over to Ginny and offered her his hand to help her get up.
To her pleasant surprise he led her to the centre of the room, pulled her towards him and started dancing like they had often done on their first dates, before their job took most of their time. Happy to do this once more she leaned her head on his shoulder, smiling contently to herself. Being in each other's arms the two got lost in the music completely forgetting everything around them.
After their dance they moved over to the living room and sat down on the couch, Ginny sitting on Kevin's lap and leaning against his chest. There they talked, just like the other's had done, about their future plans.
At four o'clock they decided to go to the office and await the others there.
"When you come back darling we will talk about our wedding," Kevin said.
"You can bet on that!" Ginny answered planting a feather light kiss on his lips, "But one thing I'll tell you, my dream wedding would be on October the 5th, the day of our first date."
"Sounds like a wonderful idea," was the last thing he could say before they heard the elevator.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
In "Heaven", the whole gang..
Ron had been the last one to arrive, of course he had wanted to see his sister off. Tonks was also there, the girls had invited her after she had helped them unpack that morning and they had had the possibility to catch up, she was really excited about being a part of their plan and touched that they trusted her so much.
Before Ginny stepped into the elevator she was fiercly hugged by Hermione, Luna, Tonks, Harry and Ron and received a reassuring handshake from Draco. Kevin was the last one to say goodbye to her. After hugging her as if he didn't want to let her go he kissed her passionately, both forgetting they had spectators. While the women and Harry grinned and Draco smirked in amusement, Ron was practically fuming but didn't say anything, afraid of making a fool of himself and parting from his sister in the middle of an argument, that could disturb her concentration and she would be in an even greater danger than she was anyway.
With a last glance on those she loved Ginny stepped into the fireplace, took a deep breath a shouted clearly: "Obscuritas Manor floo room!" only to disappear with a hiss of the flames.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Obscuritas manor floo room..
When Ginny opened her eyes she found herself standing in a huge chimney carved of black stone, she was in her destination.
"I wonder what awaits me here.." she thought. Suddenly a voice broke her out of her reverie.
"Welcome in Obscuritas Manor Miss Bonetti!"
Following the source of the voice she stepped out of the fireplace and turned left coming face to face with three smugly grinning man.
"Oh joy!" she thought.
A/N.: O.K., O.K., I know, this was cliffy again and I had promised not to end this chapter with a cliffhanger, at least this one is not so bad. *grins evilly* but I didn't solve last chapter's cliffhanger either! I'm so evil muahahaha! Who knows? Perhaps I'll solve it in the| |next chap..
Voldi: "Why am I not in this fic?"
Me: " V_ Voldi? What are you doing here?"
Voldi: "Don't call me that! I'm here because I want to know why I'm not in this fic."
Me *annoyed*: "O.K., O.K... Voldemort.. you're not in this fic cause you are. well.. dead!"
Voldi: "What? Dead? Me? I'm not supposed to be dead! I even put that spell on me!"
Me: "Well, you are dead! You're a ghost! If you don't believe me, look into that mirror, you will see no reflection."
Voldi *looks into mirror*: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Me *grins evilly*: "Yes! I'm sorry Voldi, but it's the truth!"
Voldi: "I told you not to call me that! Now you shall see what you get when you mess with me! *takes out wand* Avada Ked.."
Me *pissed off*: "Shut up Snake Boy! I'm the author, I call you what I want and if you try to curse me I'll write a fic in which you make such a great fool of yourself that the whole world, both magical and muggle, will laugh at you. You know I can do that, I wrote you are dead and now you are so.."
Voldi: "How dare you, you."
Me *fixes him with ice cold death glare*
Voldi *intimidated*: "O.K., O.K., whatever you say!"
Me *superior smile*: "That's way better! Now I'll answer the reviews!"
Answers to your reviews:
Lucius Sikilmituile: I don't know if I could arrange a date between you and Lucifer.. I can ask him, but I don't guarantee for anything plus, at the end of this fic he'll probably be dead.. Anyway, thanks for revewing and for not killing me ^_^
Eliza Evenstar: Well, last chapter's suspense is still there.. And will be for some time! As to your question concerning Lucius and Lucifer: Lucius Sikilmituile is my the best friend of my pseudo-co-author and me, due to some technical problems on my side which I explained in my author's notes, she is the one who uploads the story on ff.net. Btw, I'm really, really flattered about your review, I feel so honoured! Thanks a lot! ^_^ (Sorry that this chapter wasn't that good, at least the final author's note was funny!).
Sakurayui01: Thanks for your review! I share your opinion, Umbridge should pay (The thing with the centaurs wasn't enough). Perhaps I should hide a casette recorder in her house and the use a remote control to start it. Of course it would play a casette with the noise of horse hooves clicking *laughs evilly*. What do you think? Good plan? I still have to think of something to make Lestrange suffer, that will be more difficult (she can bare many things if she was able to kill her own cousin!). Before I forget, I love the nicknames for those two bitches. Good work!
Person who forgot to write his/her name: Thanks for your review. Believe me, you are making sense! I mean, as I already said, my best friend always loves the movie's bad guys so I'm accustomed to that. The fighting will come in later chapters, I think there will be some in the second from now. About who is going to pay.. It will be revealed in the same chapter I guess! Thanks for your review and adding me to your favourites list!
