Ok, so here we go! Let's recap: Ginny was born, cursed, saved, sent into hiding, made a friend, fell in love, found out she was a princess, brought home, and cast into eternal sleep. Wow that's a lot... Time for the real fun to begin!

Chapter8: Weasley's To the Rescue!

While the entire kingdom was being put to sleep, Harry was on the outskirts heading for the cottage in the glen. He was whistling a cheery tune, completely happy and head over heels in love. "I hope she likes these." He said holding a bouquet of Roses in his hands. His hair was messier than usual, due to the gentle wind. (A/N: Awwww! Kawaii!) He came upon the tiny cottage and creaked the door open slowly.

"Hello? Rose? I'm here..." He said tentatively. Maybe she forgot he was coming and went out. There weren't any lights save a fire in the hearth. Grabbing a candle, Harry walked over to it. But before he made it, dozens of chains latched around his body. Looking down, he saw many little squat, pug-faced, midget sized (Snape: ENOUGH DISSING OF MY HENCHMEN!) little goblin thingies fastening the chains. As he struggled, the fire suddenly turned green, and a large figure swooped out of it.

"Well, well well. What have we here? A prince. And not just any prince, Prince Harry Potter!" Snape hissed skulking out of the fire and into Harry's gaze. "Imagine, I came here for a princess, and I find this." He held up a note for Harry to read.

- 'Harry, I had to go at the last minute. Meet me at the Castle Hogwarts of Hogsmeade after sundown. I'll explain it all then. It's new even to me!

-Love- Rose ' -

"What have you done with her?!?!" Harry barked straining against the chains to lunge at Snape.

"Tut tut. In good time my brash friend." Snape waved his hand over the crystal ball on his staff. The green smoke inside of it swirled and a vision of a sleeping girl appeared. "Here was have the Princess Ginny of Hogsmeade. A fair maiden is she not? Hair wild and the colour of the flame, smooth skin, very smart, adventurous, and pretty. But, what is this? It's the same peasant maid who won your heart only mere hours ago. She didn't know at the time that she's princess. It's as new to her as it is to you. But, as with all of the royal children, I had cursed her too. And she actually got hit with it! Unlike those rotten brats in hiding, or protected by those damn faeries! But I finally win! Wahhaaahaaahaa! Ahem..." Snape regained his composure and levelled with Harry. "Now. I have placed her under an eternal sleep. Only to be broken by true love's kiss that being you. So then, Harry Potter, You are in my way. " With a snap of his fingers, Snape had Harry levitating off the floor and following him outside. He took him to Slytherin Mountain and placed him in the dungeons on the opposite side of where Ginny rested.

"Rose, I mean Ginny, is the one I fell in love with? And she's a princess? Now how am I going to save her! I fell in love with her, I have to!" Harry said pacing round and round the room. Soon Snape came in and chained him to the wall.

"Can't have you trying anything funny now can we?" He asked.

"So, where do we go from here?" Ron asked his brothers as they left the sleeping palace.

"Back to the cottage. If we're lucky, we can find this mystery man and head him off." Bill mused as he led the way into the forest between the neighbouring kingdoms.

"Wait, what, mystery man?" Percy asked rushing to catch up with the rest. He staggered under the weight of his armour and sword.

"The guy! The one Ginny fell in love with! The one who can break this spell! We need to find him! He's gonna find that note, and a sleeping castle!" Fred said running alongside his older brothers.

"Um... Ginny's engaged right? Why don't we just find him and send him to the tower?"

"Get real Percy! She can't consider her true love to be a guy she's never met!" George snapped at the 'smart' brother as they plunged deeper into the woods. The six boys walked in silence until they reached the cottage they left mere hours before. They walked in and squinted into the growing darkness.

"Someone's been here. It's a mess!" Charlie said in awe looking at the party decorations strewn about.

"I'm guessing Ginny's friend never showed up then?" Percy asked softly, almost as if he expected someone to be listening. Ron quickly ran to the door and looked for the note Ginny had left behind.

"The note on the door is gone, so maybe he went to the castle. Should we head back?" His brothers consented, and they began to head back to the palace, wondering if this guy, nameless and with no identity at all, was at the castle.

"You're back! Where's Ginny's saviour?" Poppy asked breathlessly, her eyes shining with unshed tears as the boys walked up to the castle gates.

"Sorry, no one was there, and the place looked a mess. We hoped he'd be-" Charlie was cut off by Sybill's misty voice interrupting his trail of thought.

"I have consulted the orb. The evil faerie Snape has a second prisoner. A young boy about Ronald's age locked in his cold dungeon."

"WHY ARE YOU ONLY TELLING US THIS NOW? WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THIS BEFORE THE BOYS ARRIVED YOU DOLT?" Minerva shrieked, her eyes wide and her ears smoking.

"You didn't ask me."

"Ok, so the chances that the guy in Snape's dungeon is Ginny's man may be slim, but it's a chance we have to take. Can you three take us to Slytherin Mountain?" Bill asked before Minerva could whip out her wand to kill Sybill.

"Of course we can!" Within seconds, Poppy had wooshed them all to Slytherin Mountain's Dungeon.

"I volunteer to stand watch! You guys go in and see what's what!" Percy offered, trying very hard to keep the tremble from his voice.

"Thanks Perce, we can always count on you." Fred sighed, rolling his eyes. Percy took guard and the others all ventured into the dungeon.

"Who's there? SNAPE! If it's you, then fight me like a man you cowardly bastard!" Harry shouted, his glasses broken, and his arms red from struggling against his bonds. What he saw instead shocked him.

"Sorry mate. We're no Snape. Matter of fact, we're on your side here!" George said with a smile. "If you don't mind our wondering, what's your name?"

"Harry. Harry Potter." At this, the boys and faeries let out an undignified whoop of joy. "What is going on here?"

"We're the princes of Hogsmeade. These are Minerva, Poppy, and Sybill. They're fae. Our sister Ginny was taken and placed under a spell by Snape. She's asleep, only to wake upon true love's first kiss."

"Hold on; Ginny, as in Princess Ginny? She has five brothers? And here I am worried about Snape killing me..."

"Six. We have one more standing watch. I'm Bill by the way."

"Charlie. Percy's outside."

"Fred."

"George."

"Or at least we think."

"And I'm Ron."

"Now that introductions are complete, Reparo!" With those words and a wave of her wand, Minerva fixed Harry's glasses. Poppy quickly unchained him from the wall and soothed his tired and pained arms. Harry thanked them all and then asked for what to do.

"Well, I suppose we have to get you up to the North Tower. That's where Ginny is. You have go up there and..." Bill shuddered at his next words. "kiss her. Then she wakes up, and we all go home." Harry nodded, and they began to leave.

"Hold it! We aren't sending him up against SNAPE the most evil of all dark faerie of all time unarmed! I will not have it!" Poppy shrieked insanely, breathing fire. Everyone turned to face the usually loving and calm faerie, scared and wondering. With a wave of her wand, Harry was wearing a breastplate. "There. That breastplate is fireproof, and shatterproof. It should protect you from anything Snape may throw at you." She was very proud of herself.

"Well I suppose armoury is in order." Minerva waved her wand and a shiny sword, with rubies at the hilt (A/N: yes, it's the sword from CoS.) "A sword for use by only those with a true goal and pure heart, this sword is very accurate in its attacks and will help you vanquish any foe."

"I'm next I suppose. Now upon you, I shall bestow-" Sybill's speech was disrupted by peals of laughter from her counterparts. The two of them had collapsed against each other laughing like giddy school children.

"No wait! Lemme guess! A helmet allowing him to see what's going on in Snape's mind!" Minerva howled.

"Or a pair of boots that will tell Snape's fortunes!" Poppy squealed.

"A cup of tea that predicts his demise!"

"A crystal ball to- to- see things!"

"To throw at him more like!" The pair's tirade was only broken by Sybill's icy voice.

"No, it's a shield. It can block things." She then turned to Harry and smiled. "It will rebound most spells that are sent at you." With these gifts, Harry and company left the dungeon and was introduced to Percy, and then they began the ascent to the tower.

"Now, now, now, do you really think I'm going to let you make it up there alive? Not only will I kill the princess, but the WHOLE royal family!" Snape cackled, sneering evilly at those in front of him.

Cliffie central! Ok, so what's gonna happen? Well we all know the basic tale, but what am I gonna do to it? Well, for starters, remember that dress threat? Yeah buddy!
