The next night...

Harry sat with Ron and Ginny at the paddock watching the streetlights go off in the village.

Harry had a strange feeling there was someone watching them though he knew Voldemort was long gone he couldn't help a shiver going up his back.

He heard something in the bushes and heard a charm bind some ropes around Ginny.

Ron looked at Harry and Harry tilted his head in the direction of the burrow indicating to Ron he should run while he still could.

Ron got up and ran as fast as he could leaving Harry to deal with who ever was after him.

"We meet at last Harry." came a voice deeper but close to Harry's.

Harry frowned and saw a figure in the shadow.

"Who are you and what do you want with Ginny?" asked Harry.

"What makes you think I want her?" asked the figure bending down and stroking Ginny's cheek.

"Show yourself." said Harry as he got up.

The figure moved into the moonlight and Harry saw they were wrapped in black robes.

"Can you just tell me who you are?" asked Harry cautiously.

The person took the hood down from his robes and what Harry saw shocked and chilled him to the bone.

The person looked almost exactly like him except his eyes were grey and not behind glasses, he had managed to tame his hair and his scar was differently shaped.

"Who are you?" asked Harry.

The figure paused before answering.

"I'm your half brother Harry."

"Your mad. I don't have a half brother, I don't even have my parents." said Harry.

"I know. Maybe I should explain this is simply. Your father had another wife. My mother. But he left me and her when I was three to live with you and your mother." said the figure.

"My father would never have had an affair, he loved my mother." said Harry.

"Maybe I should give you sometime come to your senses." said the figure picking up Ginny and slinging her over his shoulder.

"What are you doing? Put Ginny down!" exclaimed Harry helplessly.

"You can get her when you're ready to see reason." said the figure before he disappeared into the shadows.

Harry looked around frantically; no telling what his so called half brother would do to Ginny.

He went in the direction of the burrow only he couldn't see the shadow of the building and he couldn't see the light he'd left on in the kitchen.

He ran faster and soon saw the reason.

Ron was stood in the middle of the ruins looking like he didn't know what to do with himself.

It didn't take Harry long to guess who'd done it.

"I can't believe he'd stoop so low," hissed Harry as Ron made his way towards him.

"What's wrong? Where's Ginny?" asked Ron trying to keep his back to the wreckage.

"I know who did this. My so-called half brother. He took Ginny and disappeared," said Harry

"My parents are going to freak when they see this." Said Ron biting his lip wit deep felt guilt.

"Listen Ron, you have nothing to be guilty for. Just go to the nearest floo network station and go find your parents. I'll go find Ginny and try and talk some sense into my so called half brother," said Harry

"OK. You know what to do if you need me," said Ron getting his wand out his pocket and switching on he alarm.

"Yeah I know. Go on Ron. I'll let you know." assured Harry

Ron gave him a weak smile as if he was trying to stop tears from falling.

He then ran in the direction of the nearest station leaving Harry to plan what he was going to do.
