A/n: No one reviewed the last chapter so I do not know if anyone read it so...... I am sorry I have been so long but I have been going through a lot of stuff!

Chapter 13: Family Ties

Dumbledore Sat at his desk looking though the old yearbooks of hogwarts for a precise student He had. He knew his name but he wanted to check out some dates, for the sake of a little girl. He flipped though to the finial page of the seventh years. There was a picture of a Pure Blood wizard known for being a 'Pyro'.

Now Dumbledore remembered him, Markus Lark. He was in slytherin and Most though he was going to join ranks with Voldermort, but he was destroyed before he left Hogwarts. He hated Muggleborns and a lot of them were burned in hallways for no apparent reason. He also had trouble controlling it when he was younger. He even burned Dumbledore once when he yelled at him for burning a student.

Mark also had top marks and was head boy in his seventh year. Dumbledore thought he would be the last person to be with a muggle. That is what shocked him about this whole situation, but there are none other pyros around these parts of the world. Maggie was three if he was correct, Mark would be the only one young enough.

Dumbledore pulled out a piece of parchment and a Sugar quill. He had to write back to Mrs. Granger as soon as possible.

Mrs. Granger,

As soon as you wrote I did some research, and as it seems Maggie is most likely a pryo. It is very important that you find out if Maggie's father was mark. His picture is marked in the yearbook. He is the only pyro that fits the dates of Maggie's birth lives around here. As you most likely know, pyro is inherited, mostly from close family like a mother or father!

Albus Dumbledore

Albus folded the letter and put it in a Hogwarts envelope, then tied it to the yearbook on his owl's leg!

Jimmy was scared and left sitting in his room. His bother flipped out when he found him sitting there. Billy was always mean to Jimmy, especially in front of his friends. Billy hit him and threw him in his room and Jimmy's Mother did not believe it. Billy told them he fell and Billy set him in his bed when he was coming to get her. Jimmy also told him mother what he over heard his brother saying but she did not believe that either. Jimmy did not think anyone would after all he was just a little boy. Jimmy hurt his arm bad, he could hardly move it. His father said that if it were not better in the morning he would take him to the doctors. The only problem was, he kept rolling over on it and waking up. He was trying hard not to cry, his brother told him only babies cry and he was not a baby. He hated anyone who told him he was a little boy.

"Jimmy?" Billy walked into his room. He was wearing all black and had a mask in his hand. Jimmy moved to the back corner of his room away from his brother holding his arm. "Don't be like that!" He walked to him and kneeled in front of him. "I need you to make sure that on Sunday night at Maggie's party that you hide when all the lights go out!"

"W-why" He stuttered. He knew his brother was planning something bad and it scared him. Jimmy wished he were big so he could stop it.

"You ask to many questions!" Billy told him.

"I k-know what y-your going to do!" Jimmy stood up tall, as he informed his brother. "I won't let you!" Billy laughed quietly to him self while pushing him back down to the ground.

"You are just like her, always got to be the hero!" he told Jimmy "She had to put the sheriff in his place, and now she is dead!"

"I'm not Amanda!" Jimmy told him.

"No but you will end up like her if you don't hide when I said!" Billy told him, He had that look in his eyes that clearly said not to mess with him.

"You don't even care!" Jimmy yelled at him "She was your sisters best friend and your going to hurt her!"

"You don't know what your talking about, you only a little boy!" Billy told him grabbing his hurt arm. Tears sprang to Jimmy's eyes. "See still crying like a baby!" Jimmy ripped his arm a way holding it to his chest, fighting back the tears.

"I'm not a baby!" Jimmy's voice was weak. He was scared to death

"Just do what I said!" Billy warned him before walking out of the room. Jimmy fell to the ground and cried.

"Hermione?" She heard from the window. Hermione looked up to see Ron at her window. He looked good, he was wearing a pair of Jeans with his boxers sticking out of them and His shirt was nowhere to be found.

"Ron I thought you were staying with your Parents" She said in a whisper as she got up and walked over to the window.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay!" Ron told her. "You know with your parents and all!"

"I'm okay." She told him. They yelled for at least an hour before She was sent to her room. They still do not trust her after everything and that is what upset her the most but she will not let anyone know that.

"Are you sure?" He definitely had a way of reading her, and it scared her a little. She just nodded. He walked over and kissed her on the cheek but Hermione turned her head turning it into a kiss on the lips. If there was one thing about Ron that she loved it was his lips, they were small and soft. She loved them and the way he always gently kissed her, it was intoxicating! His hand rubbed the side of her face gently with his hand. She loved him so much it hurt sometimes. The fact that he was finally hers excited her and scared her at the same time. She felt like she was falling with no net. "Hermione I love you!" He whispered into her ear.

"I love you too!" she told him as she leaned up and kissed him it lasted a little bit longer then the first one but it was just as sweet and soft. " Could you stay a while?" Hermione asked him.

"Sure!" He replied. She walked over and laid on her bed, Ron just stood there. She laughed, he was nervous. She just wanted him to lay with her.

"Come here!" She told him. "I just want to lay down with you." Ron walked over and laid down rapping his arm around her. They fit perfectly together. Hermione was never so comfortable in her bed, as she was when Ron was there.

"Hermione?" Ron asked after awhile.

"Hmm?" she asked somewhat sleepy.

"I'm worried about Maggie!" Ron told Hermione. She sat up to look at him. "She Just found out she has this power, and she is only three"

"She is smart for her age, Ron I'm sure she will be okay." Hermione told him, she was surprised that Ron cared that much. "Besides I wrote Dumbledore about it." He smiled at her.

"I figured as much!" He said chuckling to his self.

"What dose that mean?" She asked him bewildered.

"You always write to Dumbledore or a teacher when time gets ruff!" Ron told her. "I would bet my broom on that!" He told her smiling.

"I was just a worried as you so I wrote him" Hermione told him defensively. Ron just laughed at her, so she kissed him to stop him and she noted to remember that next time she wanted to shut him up. It worked perfectly.

Ginny laid in her bed listening to her parents talk about Mr. Malfoys In the other room. She was supposed to be sleeping but she could not. Her head filled with thoughts of Malfoy and Jay. To tell the truth she had a big crush on Malfoy but she was with jay. When she heard them talking about his father she found herself ease dropping.

"He is looking at a life if convicted!" her father told Charlie and Her Mother. "They're also investigating His Wife.

"What about Draco?" Charlie asked. Ginny knew that Charlie hated that she talk to him, but he also knew she had good judgment in character.

"They don't know yet, they don't want to cross that bridge till they have too." Her Father told his son. "They also are worried that he might fallow in his fathers footsteps." Ginny knew that he didn't want to. She remembers talking to him after everyone heard about his father.

~FLASH BACK~
Ginny was walking down the hall way on the way to the library. She wanted to go some place quite, away from all the gossip and the talk about Voldermort. She was sick of it; none of them was there to see what happen.

She walked a little further, until she heard some one crying. She could tell it was a boy, he was cursing. Then she heard a loud smash coming from an empty classroom. She opened the door a little bit, Draco Malfoy stood inside. He was bleeding from his hand and there was a hole in the cabinet. She never seen him so.... Weak!

"Damn you Father!" Draco yelled. Them he noticed the door open he walked over and swung the door open before Ginny could move. "What are you doing Here Weasley?" His voice was cold and harsh and yet Ginny was not afraid of him.

"I heard you when I was on my way to the library!" Ginny told him.

"The library is the other way!" Draco told her, wiping his eyes with his sleeve.

"I know I didn't want to hear any more gossip or people talking about things they don't know anything about!" Ginny informed him.

"Then you heard me and thought you would Remind me how my father is a low life you, got what he deserved!" Draco snapped. "Or that I will get mine just like him!"

"No, You're not your father!" Ginny told him, She always knew he was not. "It isn't your fault your father is a death eater." Draco was looking at her in shock.

"Well you're the only one that thinks that" Draco told her. "Why aren't you with St. Potter?"

"Because he won't talk to anyone anyway!" Ginny informed him "Besides Why would he want me to be there?" Ginny did not know why she said it but she did.

"That's because he is stupid, Potter likes to be the hero when he can't save everyone!" Draco told her. "Even I will admit he has it ruff with the death of the people he cares about, but at least he is loved!"

"And your not?" Ginny asked him.

"Everything I have been bought for me!" Draco told her. "My friends, my spot on the Quidditch team, all of it/" She had no idea why he was telling her all this but he was. He picked up a chair and threw it at the wall, before He collapsed to the ground. "I have no one!" He said in a defeated tone. Ginny walked over and sat next to him.

"Maybe it's time to come out of you fathers shadow." Ginny told him. "You need to decide who you want to be, and it is up to you to pick your allies!"

"I know everyone expects me to pick," He informed her. "What would you say if I told you I never wanted to be a death eater?" He asked Ginny. She just looked at him. She knew she had to choose her words carefully.

"I would say you don't have to be!" She told him. She could tell by his face that no one really ever told him that to his face.

"My father would kill me!" Draco told her. "Then I wouldn't even have the friends that are paid to be my friends!" He said looking at the ground. "Then you would have real friends, like me" She offered him. He turned and looked right in her eyes.

"Why should I trust you?" He asked her.

"I don't know why did you trust me this far?" She countered. He smiled a real smile, not his usual smirk.

"Your alright Weasley!" He told her.

"So are you Malfoy!" Ginny told him

~END OF FALSHBACK~

Ginny didn't know why she trusted him she, but he did. When it was just the two of them it was great, but around everyone else they acted like nothing changed. The both also promised that they would keep there friend ship a secret until they were both ready.
