~ Chapter 7 ~
It was awkward to walk; in fact it really wasn't even like walking, more of a floating feeling like her feet weren't quite touching the ground. Of course one good stomp with her foot told her that her feet were still firmly planted. Another thing that was slightly disturbing was how desensitized she felt, Ginny knew the night was cold and yet she felt nothing as if her sense of hot and cold didn't exist anymore. She would have pondered her new sense's more had a crack of light not flashed in the forest and screams been heard.
"No time to let my mind wander now." Ginny told herself firmly before unshrinking her sword and running towards the origin of the dark mark. Upon reaching her goal however she was thrown into a combat for her life. The Lost Boys were there just as Ginny had suspected and so where Death Eaters. Also at the battle were Fred and George as well as Oliver Wood and Bill. Swinging her sword high Ginny hit a Death Eater in the Head with the flat of the sword, she hit another along the trunk drawing blood and causing him to fall.
"Don't injure, Kill!" Yelled one of the Lost Boys with spiked black hair and glowing eyes. Ginny nodded and in the adrenaline of battle sliced off the next Death Eaters head, which sprayed blood everywhere. Shaking her head in discussed Ginny fought on not really thinking that she had just killed for the first time.
The battle although it had been fierce had not lasted long, there had not been many Death Eaters and they had been quickly over powered by the Lost Boys who played dirtier then them. Although the battle was now won the Lost Boys were quick about making tracks. Ginny followed close to them running along the ground as she could not jump and didn't have one of their strange hovering devices.
"Blast them!" She cursed as she pressed on, wishing all the way that she had stolen her brother's broom. Just as she thought she would lose them they landed however. With a sigh she dashed up to them hoping against hope that they might accept her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well men you fought well tonight." Congratulated Mad Hatter to the group of teens gathered in their run down tent.
"However, now is not the time to celebrate small victories. It's time to return to head quarters and plan. The Death Eaters have made the first move and we have hastily made ours, now is the time for more careful planning."
The Lost Boys around the tent nodded in agreement before pulling out small orbs or hoverboard devices and either disappearing via portkey or air. Ginny waited patiently in back wondering how she would be able to follow them now since she didn't have a broom and the ever changing location of the Rave club made it impossible to find their head quarters.
"You're not one of us but you fought with us. I wonder why?" Ginny was pulled out of her thought by the teen that had yelled at her to kill the death eaters.
"I couldn't stand around and do nothing. I had the skills so I used them." She explained.
"Hmm, I thank you most graciously for the help but I think there is more to the reason you are here then just simple words of thanks."
"You're right, I've been looking for the Lost Boys for the past few months yet you've evaded me. I found you tonight and I wasn't going to miss the chance."
Raven laughed "And to think I didn't even look for them, they found me."
"Favorable luck?"
"Perhaps, I like to think fate and a bit of rotten luck really."
"I see, so will I be lucky tonight like you were and be welcome to the Lost Boys clan?"
"You might be, I sense no lies from you."
"I have nothing to lie about!"
"But I sense that you will not be working against us."
"A mind reader are you?"
"No, never got the chance to take Divions or else maybe tarot cards could have told me." Ginny laughed.
"I don't need silly fortune telling to tell me though that you have talent with a sword talent we seek so desperately." Said the mysterious yet familiar teen.
"You mean I have a chance at being a Lost Boy clan member?"
"Of course, in fact you are one as of now! Welcome to the Lost Boys...?"
"Vivi my name is Vivi."
"Hmm Vivi... cute, though strangely odd."
"And you are?"
"They call me Raven so you can too!"
"Well that's nice." Muttered Vivi formerly Ginny.
"Yes peachy I'm sure, here's a portkey, when you arrive find the elf known as Gwen, explain that you're 'new' and she'll set you up."
"Thank you."
"Bye." Waved Raven as he tossed the glass orb that was his communication orb and portkey to Vivi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cute isn't she?" Asked Mad Hatter as he rested a hand on Ravens shoulder.
"Yes, but..."
"Ah, fresh love is in the air!"
"Actually I think I know her, just from where is what I'm trying to figure out."
"Oh, sure lover boy!"
"I don't know why I put up with you."
"Because it's me and you need me!"
"*cough, cough* I think the Lost Boys need your leadership but I don't need you."
"*sigh* fine, break your best mates heart!"
"Mad come on we got to leave now."
"Yeah you're right." The two teens stepped outside the magical tent and waited for it to magically fold itself up.
"I'll see you tonight then." Said Raven as he flipped out his hover board and jumped on.
"Yeah see ya." Mad Hatter picked up the magically folded magical tent pulled out his portkey and disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you Gwen?"
"No, she's over there, with the light blue hair, see?"
"Oh thanks." Said Vivi as she ran over to the blue haired elf.
"Gwen?"
"Yes, I've never seen you before who are you?"
"Raven said to come and see you when I arrived, see I just joined the Lost Boys so I'm not sure what to do."
Gwen smiled at the red haired girl and led her up to the pub.
"Don't worry I'll get you all straightened out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fight was over with the Death Eaters resulting mostly in blood shed for the death eaters anyway. Bill walked tiredly with Fred and George back to their family tent when he stumbled over something on the dark path.
"Bloody hell! People could stop leaving their junk everywhere!" Muttered Bill as he pulled out his wand and muttered Lumos. Looking down at what he had tripped over with Fred and George his heart nearly stopped beating at the sight before him.
"G-Ginny." Whispered George kneeling down beside the pale looking girl covered in blood. He touched her and pulled his hand away quickly.
"She's cold Bill." Bill shakily touched her cold throat looking for a pulse, anything to say she was alive, he found nothing.
"She's...she's"
"Don't say that she can't be!" Yelled Fred.
"But she's"
"Don't say it!"
"But Ginny's dead."
"Don't say that!"
"She's dead, Fred our baby sister is dead."
"Stop saying that! It's not true."
"But it is, she's here, she's dead."
"Ginny's dead." Said Bill quietly to himself, touching his sister's blood matted hair lightly before slowly standing up never looking away from the body.
"Fred, George stay here I'm going to get mom." The twins nodded and Bill silently walked away wiping the tears from his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It must be a shock for someone to read a headline about themselves and even more shocking to find your very own obituary. Vivi was very much shocked at how cleanly Myrtle had managed things. Obviously being a spirit had helped greatly, a spirit something not quiet a ghost, yet not fully alive. Vivi was rapidly finding out what her bonding with Myrtle really had done to her. Her body tempter was lower and she floated more then walked, it was an odd sensation as if she wasn't always touching the ground. She had discovered that if she concentrated enough she could walk through things, briefly Vivi had wondered if she might be able to fly but nothing had come of her efforts.
"So Myrtle staged my death, cute." Thought Ginny with a dark expression, she couldn't help but feel a little satisfied at a small piece of revenge although the feeling didn't linger.
"What are you reading?" Asked Raven walking up beside Vivi.
"Obituaries, did you know one of the Weasley children died?" Vivi didn't miss the shocked expression on Ravens face no matter how brief it was.
"Really? That's sad, which one? How?"
"Their youngest, Ginny. She got caught up with Death Eaters at the World Cup or something."
"I see, I thought we got all the Death Eaters."
"I assumed so too, I guess we missed one."
"Yeah, but who could it be, I wonder?"
"We'll find out sometime."
"Yeah." Said Raven patting Vivi's shoulder.
"Wow, you're cold."
"I don't feel cold, maybe I'm immune to it or something."
"Maybe." Raven smiled at Vivi before leaving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vivi was a suspicious character to Raven, he couldn't figure out if she was another spy like Draco or something else. In his mind things didn't fit quite as well into place as he hoped they would, yet everything did make sense and her motivation for being a Lost Boy was not uncommon. So Raven was stumped at what to think of her, keeping his distance seemed to be the best option but then again they say to keep you enemies close. Raven really had no choice, he would have to just run with things as they were, while keeping a sharp eye on Vivi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny's funeral had been the single more heart wrenching day in Molly Weasley's life. Her daughter was gone, brutally murdered in cold blood. For what purpose? Was there even a purpose or was it senseless murdered, a deed done only to hurt others? No one would even know of course, there was no clues to the murder and with the Death Eater attack on the same night casualties were bound to occur. But why then did it have to be Ginny? Sitting alone in the kitchen of the Burrow Molly nursed a cup of tea, only looking at the tea never drinking. She didn't have the heart to eat or do anything for that matter, she just needed to sit and reflect on her greatest loss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron looked at the Weasley family clock aimlessly letting his mind wander. He had been shocked into silence since he learned that Ginny had died. The full impact of what her death had meant though hadn't hit him until he looked at the family clock. The hand with Ginny's face on it turned slowly around and around the clock never stopping, always spinning as if the clock wasn't sure where she was. It was painful to know that he would never see her again and all the things he needed to tell her. Why now?
It was no ones fault but Ron couldn't help but feel a little guilty over her death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The room felt dead to Fred as he stood in the doorway to his sister's room. No one had actually gone in Ginny's room since the world cup. It was if it was too painful to cross the thrush-hold into the mismatched rather messy room. Ginny sure hadn't been the saint of the house when it came to cleaning. Fred wondered if Ginny's room would ever be entered again, he couldn't bring himself to enter.
The image of Ginny's cold blood covered body flashed through Fred's head. He shivered and turned away from the silent room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bill, are you okay?" Asked Charlie as he entered Bills room.
"I don't think I'll ever be okay."
"I know but..."
"I saw her, lying there dead, covered in blood. She looked like a fallen angel sprawled out on the ground cold as a stone."
"Bill, she's gone, you have to let it go."
"No, she was the baby and we should have protected her better! She wrote me a letter after her first year at Hogwarts."
"What did she say?"
"She was lonely, everyone was ignoring her because of what had happened with the Chamber of Secrets."
"What did you say to her?"
"I never replied, I brushed her off and forgot about her."
Charlie didn't say anything.
"I didn't say anything and now she's gone and I can't say anything to her ever again!"
"Bill it's not your fault, the Death Eaters..."
"The Death Eaters are as good as dead."
"What are you saying?"
"I won't rest until they're all dead! Every last one of them!"
"But how can you be sure it was a Death Eater? The Lost Boys were there that night too!"
"Yes I know."
"So what's to say that Ginny's Death wasn't due to cross fire?"
"Everyone will pay, Ginny will be avenged!"
"Bill..."
"I was there I know what some of the Lost Boys look like and believe me I won't rest until I know exactly what happened that night!"
Charlie couldn't say anything to change his brother's mind so instead silently excused himself from the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well what do you have to report?"
"Nothing really, the Lost Boys aren't that strong as I told you before."
"Yet as the Quidditch world cup they beat us."
"Luck I would say they had sudden help from someone who wanted to join, they call her Vivi and she too is a sword expert."
"Watch her then and take her out if she becomes a problem to our plan."
"Yes father."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You live in a cave?"
"Yup, very convenient actually, easy access to the Gringotts tunnel system and all."
"Ah, I see do you just stick newbies at the Rave club or something?"
"I wouldn't say that, just you haven't found a place yet so where else do we stick you?"
"Makes sense."
"Yeah, but still you do need your own place and ideas on where you'd like to live?"
"A view would be nice."
"Hmm, we'll check into what views are available maybe we'll find something, if not we'll just make something!"
"I figured as much, where there's a will there's a way right?"
"More like where there's a Lost Boy there is no obstacle unchallenged."
"Ah."
"Come on Vivi why don't we go have a bit of fun? Do you like roller coasters?"
"It's a muggle contraption right?"
"Yes but I was thinking of commandeering a goblin cart instead actually."
"You are evil aren't you?"
"Yeah, just a little."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A month had passed since the Death of Ginny Weasley and to put it in political terms it had been a huge loss to Dumbledore. He had been counting on the inside information Ginny would have been able to gather for him and now he had no source other then his Death Eater spy. What a pity.
Also strangely enough Moaning Myrtle had mysteriously disappeared, not that it was a huge loss to him, one less moaning and destructive ghost was one less aggravation to Filch and one less problem to Dumbledore. Of course Myrtle had been rather helpful in recent months and Dumbledore couldn't help lament her disappearance a bit. There was always Sirius though he could serve as a good spy for the Lost Boys, he was a Marauder after all.
"Just as Rome seems like it'll stand, it comes crashing down around me." Muttered Dumbledore to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"They made fools of us at the World cup and killed many of our good brothers! This can't go unpunished!"
"We will avenge our fallen!"
There was a chorus of cheers throughout the gloomy stone room.
"The Death Eaters will not be beat by mere teenagers!"
"The Death Eaters are the most feared and our reputation must be up held to install honor on our lord when he returns!"
Another cheer rang throughout the room.
"We will fight again and win!"
"A fight to the Death!"
"No Lost Boy shall remain standing!"
"Kill them all!"
"Death to the Lost Boys!"
"We will strike soon, they will not expect such an early rebuttal!"
"Catching them off guard will weaken them all the more."
"Be ready loyal Death Eaters we attack next week!"
The Death Eaters cheered louder then before, excited for the soon to be executed revenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who are you?"
"They call me Frost, I'm looking for Vivi."
"She's out with Raven right now, come in though. I'm surprised that you found us."
"You may think that you're club is unfindable but I found you easily enough."
"It could have been a mere accident."
"Not at all actually, it's clever really, you have different portals set around London, set to open at different hours or days all leading to here, a run down shop in Diagon alley that's been condemned for the last five years. It's impressive really, a few notice me not charms and people walk by blindly unless of course they know what they're looking for."
"So you figure it out, what do you want then?"
"To join of course."
"Come in, Vivi will be back soon and we'll talk to Raven then. Mad Hatter is not here so we have to go through Raven instead."
"I see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So will this do? It has a great view of Diagon alley you have to admit."
"Yes fantastic actually, how'd you manage this?"
"Oh I have a few contacts that's all."
"Well it is a nice view, even if it is located in knockturn alley! Hey you can still see Diagon alley over there, see!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"You like it though, right?"
"Yeah it's perfect, don't have to pay rent, got a nice cozy loft to myself, a cool little tower thingy. Yeah its good."
"Glad to here it, there's not much furniture here though, we can go shopping for some more tomorrow."
"Yeah that would be good."
"Lets get back to the club though why don't we?"
"Sure."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Vivi, someone's here to see you?"
"See me, who?"
"Says her names Frost."
"Frost...?" Vivi was confused who was this Frost person. All sense of wonder was removed from Vivi's mind however when an older version of Myrtle appeared.
"Oh Frost!"
"Hey Vivi long time no see!"
"Yeah, how have you been, how'd you find me?"
Myrtle alias Frost pointed to her orb necklace.
"Ah, joining too I see then."
"You know it sister!"
"Sister?" Asked Raven.
"Yeah, Me and Vivi as twins!" Laughed Frost. Vivi smiled.
"Yup!"
You never mentioned that you had a sister Vivi."
"Yeah it never came up so I didn't say."
"Well then welcome to the Lost Boys."
"Thanks" Frost threw a devilish smile at Vivi.
~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: okay more things are falling into place here now, aren't you all excited?! Ginny finally joined the Lost Boys and as promised no romance but a friendship. Sorry to people who do want a romance whether is be Ginny Harry or Gwen Harry or whatever, this fic doesn't fit in any romance but I like to think I'll write a sequel with some sort of pairing in it. Lets see if this fic get finished first why don't we!
P.S. does anyone like Depeche Mode? They're this awesome 80's band! I think the people at HMV think I'm obsessed or something, well except for this one guy but he's obsessed too, yeah me, him and Depeche mode make three~!

"A view would be nice."
"Hmm, we'll check into what views are available maybe we'll find something, if not we'll just make something!"
"I figured as much, where there's a will there's a way right?"
"More like where there's a Lost Boy there is no obstacle unchallenged."
"Ah."
"Come on Vivi why don't we go have a bit of fun? Do you like roller coasters?"
"It's a muggle contraption right?"
"Yes but I was thinking of commandeering a goblin cart instead actually."
"You are evil aren't you?"
"Yeah, just a little."

A month had passed since the Death of Ginny Weasley and to put it in political terms it had been a huge loss to Dumbledore. He had been counting on the inside information Ginny would have been able to gather for him and now he had no source other then his Death Eater spy. What a pity.
Also strangely enough Moaning Myrtle had mysteriously disappeared, not that it was a huge loss to him, one less moaning and destructive ghost was one less aggravation to Filch and one less problem to Dumbledore. Of course Myrtle had been rather helpful in recent months and Dumbledore couldn't help lament her disappearance a bit. There was always Sirius though he could serve as a good spy for the Lost Boys, he was a Marauder after all.
"Just as Rome seems like it'll stand, it comes crashing down around me." Muttered Dumbledore to himself.

"They made fools of us at the World cup and killed many of our good brothers! This can't go unpunished!"
"We will avenge our fallen!"
There was a chorus of cheers throughout the gloomy stone room.
"The Death Eaters will not be beat by mere teenagers!"
"The Death Eaters are the most feared and our reputation must be up held to install honor on our lord when he returns!"
Another cheer rang throughout the room.
"We will fight again and win!"
"A fight to the Death!"
"No Lost Boy shall remain standing!"
"Kill them all!"
"Death to the Lost Boys!"
"We will strike soon, they will not expect such an early rebuttal!"
"Catching them off guard will weaken them all the more."
"Be ready loyal Death Eaters we attack next week!"
The Death Eaters cheered louder then before, excited for the soon to be executed revenge.

"Who are you?"
"They call me Frost, I'm looking for Vivi."
"She's out with Raven right now, come in though. I'm surprised that you found us."
"You may think that you're club is unfindable but I found you easily enough."
"It could have been a mere accident."
"Not at all actually, it's clever really, you have different portals set around London, set to open at different hours or days all leading to here, a run down shop in Diagon alley that's been condemned for the last five years. It's impressive really, a few notice me not charms and people walk by blindly unless of course they know what they're looking for."
"So you figure it out, what do you want then?"
"To join of course."
"Come in, Vivi will be back soon and we'll talk to Raven then. Mad Hatter is not here so we have to go through Raven instead."
"I see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So will this do? It has a great view of Diagon alley you have to admit."
"Yes fantastic actually, how'd you manage this?"
"Oh I have a few contacts that's all."
"Well it is a nice view, even if it is located in knockturn alley! Hey you can still see Diagon alley over there, see!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"You like it though, right?"
"Yeah it's perfect, don't have to pay rent, got a nice cozy loft to myself, a cool little tower thingy. Yeah its good."
"Glad to here it, there's not much furniture here though, we can go shopping for some more tomorrow."
"Yeah that would be good."
"Lets get back to the club though why don't we?"
"Sure."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Vivi, someone's here to see you?"
"See me, who?"
"Says her names Frost."
"Frost...?" Vivi was confused who was this Frost person. All sense of wonder was removed from Vivi's mind however when an older version of Myrtle appeared.
"Oh Frost!"
"Hey Vivi long time no see!"
"Yeah, how have you been, how'd you find me?"
Myrtle alias Frost pointed to her orb necklace.
"Ah, joining too I see then."
"You know it sister!"
"Sister?" Asked Raven.
"Yeah, Me and Vivi as twins!" Laughed Frost. Vivi smiled.
"Yup!"
You never mentioned that you had a sister Vivi."
"Yeah it never came up so I didn't say."
"Well then welcome to the Lost Boys."
"Thanks" Frost threw a devilish smile at Vivi.

Sorry to people who do want a romance whether is be Ginny Harry or Gwen Harry or whatever, this fic doesn't fit in any romance but I like to think I'll write a sequel with some sort of pairing in it. Lets see if this fic get finished first why don't we!
