Ginny sat in her room looking at some plans that Jenny had found. They were the ones to plan the Slytherin common room and she reckoned it could really work. The door opened and Jenny walked in and sat down on the bed next to Ginny.
"So?" Ginny asked Jenny. Jenny shook her head.
"Sirius won't let us have any firewhiskey." Jenny said, "and he's supposed to be irresponsible and my dad." Ginny smirked and let Jenny start plaiting her long red hair.
"So are we actually going to do this?" Ginny asked Jenny.
"Why not. Get our own back on those-"
"Language." Ginny stated as she read the scribblings down the side.
"I didn't even swear."
"You were going to." Ginny said with a smirk. Jenny smiled for the first time in a long time. She hadn't really smiled since Harry had left for his work a few weeks ago, well, ten days ago. Jenny sighed and let Ginny's hair down. Ginny watched as Jenny stood up and walked to the huge pile of pillows in the corner. Ginny looked back down at some scrawled writing, "Moony loves Chang" she read and smiled. Then underneath was, "No I don't."
"Do you ever feel like just screaming?" Jenny asked Ginny.
"Sometimes." Ginny said. She moved her foot in time to a tune she had stuck in her head. "Why, do you feel like screaming?" Ginny asked.
"Sort of." Jenny said. She leaned her head against the wall and played with a lock of hair.
"Why don't you just play something on the piano? Or the guitar." Ginny said, "I've never heard you play the guitar." Jenny looked at Ginny and got up slowly. She headed for the guitar and put the strap around her and went back to the cushions. Ginny looked at the guitar suspiciously.
"I swear guitars are supposed to be bigger." She said eyeing the small thin guitar.
"It's called an Electric Guitar, it's a Muggle thing" Jenny said, "Easier to carry then a proper guitar." Jenny started randomly strumming on it and Ginny hummed along with it, she sort of knew the tune that was emerging from the randomness that Jenny was playing. Jenny had started plucking a few strings and forming a song when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Jenny said then continued her quiet singing along to the guitar. The door opened and Sirius came into the room. Jenny looked up for a moment as did Ginny.
"Jenny can I have a word with you?" Sirius asked.
"No." Jenny said bluntly. Sirius gave a patient sigh and looked at Ginny. Ginny got up and rolled up the parchment.
"Here." Ginny said passing it to Jenny before leaving the room.
"Ginny!" Jenny said slightly annoyed and surprised. Ginny gave her a little wave and left the room.
"You can always trust a Weasley." Sirius said.
"Yeah." Jenny said. She put the parchment down and looked at Sirius.
"What do you want?" Jenny asked coldly.
"I wanted to talk to you." Sirius said.
"About what?" Jenny asked.
"Why you don't like me." Sirius said. "I'll put your guitar over there so we can talk properly." Sirius held his hand out and Jenny looked at him suspiciously. After a few minutes she took the strap of her guitar off and gave it to Sirius to put back. When he returned he pulled the piano stool over and sat on it while looking at Jenny.
"I wanted to ask why you don't like me. You know your decision is what can destroy my relationship with your mum." Sirius said.
"I know." Jenny said.
"Don't you want her to be happy?" Sirius asked.
"My mum was happy." Jenny said. Sirius sighed.
"You know you're making all of this a lot more difficult." Sirius said tiredly. Jenny crossed her arms and looked at the wall. Sirius picked up the parchment that Jenny had put down and unrolled it. He smirked as he looked at it.
"What?" Jenny asked as she watched Sirius suspiciously.
"I remember this." Sirius said, "You get Myrtle to do her toilet thing in these loos here, make sure no one is around and then hey presto."
"Did it work?" Jenny asked.
"We don't know."
"We?"
"James and I were planning on doing this but then Lily's parents died and we never actually finished fine tuning the plan." Sirius said. "If you want I can give you some other plans that the marauders never quite got round to doing as long as you don't go and tell your mum." Jenny smirked.
"It's ok. Ginny and I can think of our own stuff." Jenny said with a smile.
"Ok, well just a thought, if you ever want Peeves to do what you want you can give him a bag of specially formulated ink and tell him to pelt everyone but Gryffindors. As long as you give him some every few months he's stay on your good side." Sirius told Jenny. Jenny let out a small laugh.
"Fred and George didn't need to do that." Jenny said.
"Well, yeah, you can do that or be absolute hell for Filch." Sirius said. Jenny smiled and took back the Hogwarts plans.
"Thanks." Jenny said. Sirius smiled
"What will it take to allow me to marry your mum?" Sirius asked. Jenny shrugged as her smile disappeared.
"I don't know." Jenny said dully.
"If I asked her to let Harry relax a bit would that help?" Sirius asked. Jenny looked at Sirius and smiled.
"It might." Jenny said.
"I'll see what I can do." Sirius said, "but they're at Hogwarts right now. Aparently Cho was caught and your boyfriend and his friends have gone to the rescue…again." Sirius said as he got up. Jenny smiled, "I'll call you down for dinner." Sirius said. Jenny nodded and Sirius left the room. Jenny rested her head against the wall and let her mind wonder to Harry. A small smile played on her face and she closed her eyes. A few moments later the door to her room opened and someone came in. Jenny opened her eyes and looked at the door. Dudley stood at the door looking at Jenny.
"I've been looking for you everywhere." Dudley said. Jenny hadn't really met Dudley that much and had only seen him around but from what Harry had told her he was a bit of a pig. Jenny tensed slightly as Dudley came nearer. To Jenny Dudley seemed like an overgrown pig that wanted everything and anything he could get his hands on. Jenny had tried to stay out of his way and had occasionally taken some food and stuff to his parents.
"What do you want?" Jenny asked, getting to her feet.
"What's your name? No one seems to want to tell me." Dudley said. Jenny scowled and started walking towards the piano, where her wand lay where the music should be.
"Why do you want to know?" Jenny asked.
"I just want to know." Dudley cut off her path to the piano and Jenny stopped. "Are you going to tell me or will I have to force it out of you?"
"If you want to make a move on me I'm not interested, I have a boyfriend." Jenny said.
"Tell me so I can beat the crap out of him. You deserve someone like me." Dudley said. Jenny stared at Dudley with disgust.
"I will not lower myself to your standard." Jenny remarked. "And for your information You are no where near as good looking or good natured as Harry." Jenny told Dudley.
"Harry! My good for nothing cousin?" Dudley asked gobsmacked, "You're the girlfriend he was talking about?" Jenny looked at Dudley confused and nodded. "Are you blind or something, what do you see in Harry, no, don't answer that. You will dump him and come with me." Dudley ordered. Jenny rushed for her wand but Dudley stopped her and pushed her back and into the pile of cushions that Jenny slept on. Dudley turned and saw her wand on the piano. He glanced at Jenny as she got up and then went for the wand with a grin.
"No," Jenny said as he picked up her wand and held it in front of her in his fat beefy hands.
"What? Don't you want any harm to come to this thing?" Dudley asked waving Jenny's wand in the air. Jenny bit her lip nervously as a few sparks came out of the end of her wand. She didn't want to get too close to Dudley because he was quite dangerous while he was waving the wand around. Wands could be unpredictable in the hands of a Muggle.
"Put it down." Jenny said. "You could hurt yourself." Dudley smiled
"Only if you dump my cousin and come with me." Dudley said.
"No." Jenny said. Dudley held his wand in both his hand and tried to bend it enough to snap it. Jenny stared in shock as her wand dropped to the floor in two pieces. "You broke my wand!" Jenny shouted at him.
"Oops." Dudley said bored, "What are you going to do?" Jenny rushed at him intent on trying to beat him up but Dudley caught her around the neck and pressed her against the wall of her room with a hard thud.
Cho lay on the cold stone floor crying.
"Are you going to tell us?" Lucius Malfoy asked. Cho hid her face from him, she didn't want to tell him but she couldn't take the pain and torture anymore. She was only eighteen, she couldn't take this. She didn't love Harry this much, whether as a friend or as something more. Why was she keeping it all in.
"She's not going to talk." Bellatrix said happily as she raised her wand.
"WAIT!" Cho screamed at them as loudly as she could. "Don't!" Bellatrix lifted her wand and looked at Cho expectantly.
"Ready to tell us now?" Bellatrix asked. Cho nodded her head and Lucius smiled.
"We're making progress." He said. He bent down and lifted Cho roughly. Her legs were too weak to support her. "So where is my daughter?"
"She's with Harry." Cho said quietly.
"Where is Harry?" Bellatrix asked. Cho was about to answer when Draco Malfoy ran into the room.
"Father, Mrs. Lestrange, the dark Lord wants you in his office now, he would like you to inform him on your progress." Draco said. Lucius and Bellatrix looked at each other. Lucius dropped Cho and left the room with Bellatrix. Draco went straight to Cho's side and got his wand out and unbound her. Cho stared at Draco terrified.
"Don't hurt me." Cho said.
"Sh, Harry's here to get you" Draco said. The door opened and then closed at it's own accord.
"Harry?" Cho whispered.
"Hermione get a fire started." Came Harry's voice. Hermione appeared from nowhere and Cho let out a scream.
"Shut up." Hermione snapped. Harry and Ron both appeared as Hermione muttered incendio into the fireplace in the classroom. Harry went to Cho and with Draco's help managed to get her to her feet.
"Have we got any Floo powder?" Ron asked. Harry put a hand into his pocket and threw a small bag to Hermione.
"Ron, take Malfoy's place and Malfoy, you're going to lie for us?" Harry asked Draco. Draco pointed his wand at himself and he looked like he'd been on the receiving end of several jinxes.
"Just get the hell out of here." Draco said as Ron helped Harry hold Cho.
"Hurry up." Hermione hissed at them. Harry and Ron took Cho to the fireplace. "Harry, you and Cho first." Harry nodded and took a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fire.
"Twelve Grimmauld place." Harry said. He had to hold onto Cho quite tightly to stop her from disappearing into a random fireplace. He came out of the right Fireplace and startled Ginny quite badly.
"Harry, what, why-" Ginny watched as Ron and Hermione both appeared behind Harry.
"Hermione, go and tell April that we've got Cho out." Harry said. Hermione nodded and apparated away. Ron and Harry both helped Cho sit down on a seat and Ginny bit her lip with worry.
"What happened?" Ginny asked.
"She was tortured." Ron said.
"Harry, I'm really sorry." Cho said,
"Don't be sorry. Just sit back until April gets here." Harry said quietly.
"I nearly told them everything." Cho said.
"But you didn't so-"
"I told them that Emma was staying with you." Cho said.
"It's alright." Harry said. "Ginny, where's Emma and Jenny?"
"Jenny's speaking to Sirius, or the other way round and Emma's in April's room looking at the pensieve again I think." Ginny told them.
"Right. Shoner get some Hot Chocolate." Ron said to the house elf that was standing by the sink staring at them. Shoner nodded and went straight to work when there was a scream from upstairs.
