A/N: Thank you so much for your reviews!!! I really I am trying to get these up, I swear. But between school and acting and stuff there isn't much time. But seriously.

I still can't believe that people are reviewing. Thanks again!

It wasn't all that hard once Harry had subdued Malfoy, actually. All the fight went out of the white-robed people. That wasn't to say that the room wasn't a bloody mess. And that people hadn't died.

More people on the other side died than on ours. I could see Zabini and Bulstrode laying side by side, a hole in each of their fore-heads. Crabbe was on the other side of the room, his neck a deep purple, he had obviously been strangled. Seamus was standing next to him, gazing off into space. When he saw me staring at him, he smiled weakly. "For Dean."

We had causualties too. Colin Creevey was crying his eyes out over his little brother, and Neville was holding onto Padma's body as Parvati wept. Cho was levitating Michael Corner's body somewhere, and crying so hard you'd think tha ther nose would blowo ff from the impact. It was so bloody, I couldn't help but tear up as well. I wanted to rage. I wanted to scream. I wanted to kill. I wanted to murder Malfoy. But instead I sat down on a chair, going through all the most painful ways I could hurt him in my head. I wished Ron was there, to guide me, to help me. Fred and George and Bill and Charlie were all right, but they weren't the same overprotective brother that had been on of my closest friends. Harry came over, and put his arm around me reassuringly.

"We're going to question them in a minute." He said, nodding to the bound Malfoy and Parkinson. "Want to come?"

I nodded feverishly, and started to get up. Harry put a restraining hand on my shoulder. "Fred's just been in contact with Amelia Bones. We have permission to kill Malfoy after we hear a guilty confession because he escaped from the Ministry before. Just Malfoy, though. Still sure you-?"

"I still want to come, if that's what you mean." I interrupted Harry. "But what does Amelia Bones have to do with this, she's-"

"The Mistress of Magic. Merlin, how shut off have you been from the wizarding world?"

I shrugged. I had canceled my subscription to the Daily Prophet, and lived as a Muggle. Was there something wrong with that?

"Lets go." We walked into a chamber off main room, where my brothers, Seamus, Lavender, and the bound Malfoy and Pansy were waiting.

"Hey, Weasley." Malfoy siad weakly as we shut the door behind us. "There's reasons for everything. I alone can tell you why my father picked you. Let me go, and I will."

Ifroze. "You can?"

He nodded, "And I'm the only one who knows those secrets."

Wait a minute! He and his kind killed Ron! What was I doing? "Liar."

"We can bring back Weasel."

I opened my mouth to say yes, but I saw that everyone was frozen in time, except for me and Harry. "I have got to learn that spell." I grumbled.

He waved his arms in the air, almost knocking into the motionless Seamus. "Gin!" he practically yelled. "You were about to say yes! To Malfoy! "

"Like you would have said no."

"Gin, I did!" He stared at me. "My first year.! Voldemort offered to bring back my parents! He offere to tell me everthing! Any you know what I did? I said no!" I hung my head.

"Do you get it now?"

"I'm not as strong asyou, Harry. All my life I've had abotu5000 people watching myback and catching me if Ifall. And the ringleader was Ron. You couldn't understand that."

He shook his head. "No, Gin. No I couldn't. I can'tguess what it would be like to lose a brother, because I never had one."

"Well, its the best and worst of the world. Nad when its gone, its horrible."

He touched my shoulder gently, " But you said it yourself, Gin. He's not gone. NAd you have 5 others."

Time went back to normal and Harry reappeeared five feet away.

"No."

HArry winked at me, "And thats what Veritserum is for."
