Alright I hope your enjoying my story now. This chapter is the 1st battle of the 2nd war…as you will soon find out…..

The Battle

"I'm telling you, mate, they probably just went to bed early," Ron said earnestly for the fifth time. Harry and Ron had been looking for the girls ever since they didn't show up for dinner.

"Ron, do you honestly believe that?"

"No," he said quietly.

"Ugh! We've looked in every place possible! Where could they be!" Harry's temper was rising. He didn't like the idea of Ginny and Hermione missing with Voldemort so close.

"What about the tower?"

When they boys finally make it up to the tower they saw nothing…at first.

"Hey, Ron! Over here! Isn't this Ginny's wand?"

"Yeah…but why is it up here? Holy shit! Is that blood?"

"Great Merlin… it is. She's been hurt…looks like a struggle."

"But someone would have seen a Death Eater with Ginny, wouldn't they?"

"Not if they got out a different exit."

Both boys' faces drained of their natural color and ran to the balcony. No Ginny. However, in the distance two hooded figures were trying to escort a person with fiary red hair.

"Oh, Lord, help us all," Ron whispered seeing his sister disapear into the Forbidden Forest. He looked over at Harry, but Harry was gone.

"Hurry up, Ron, and grab Ginny's wand. We might need it."

"What the-"

"I AM NOT GOING TO STAND AROUND AND DO NOTHING! VOLDEMORT HAS RUINED MY LIFE TO MANY TIMES! I WILL NOT LET HIM HURT GINNY OR HERMIONE!"

Harry stormed down the steps with a speechless Ron following. They made a quick stop at the boy's dormitory where Harry grabbed Sirius's old knife.

"Harry, what is that for?"

"I can't beat him in a duel because of our wands," he said in a cold, harsh voice. "I'm ending this once and for all."

Ron and Harry marched out on the grounds, secretly knowing that this would be the end, but for which side was the question. Before they knew it a huge crowd of Death Eaters poured on the grounds, around fifty total. Students could be heard behind Ron and Harry still in the castle seeing the first battle of the second war.

Three Death Eaters came in from of the black crowd, each holding a different, terrified prisoner. The Bagman daughter was on the far left while Hermione on the far right. Ginny was in dead center.

Then Voldemort himself stepped in front of all. His hood back, reveling his ashy white skin, blood red eyes, and snake-like nostriles.

"Now, now. Harry…we meet again," he hissed so loud Harry was sure even Hogwarts could hear. "Alas, even after the lesson I taught you in your 5th year, you are still dreadfully predictable." His eyes heated with excitement as he stoaked Ginny's face with his abnormally long fingers.

"You see, this might be my most ingenious play yet. Why not have a little fun with this war then savour my victory at the end? Cause you as much emotional pain as possible and then kill you with a pleasureable victory? Well as you see these young ladies behind me have had some encounter with me one way or another. By dreams… or death of family memebers…or…" his grin tuned sickening. He was loving torturing Harry this way, "mind control.." Harry took an angry step forward at Voldemorts mention of Ginny and her first year, but Ron held him back.

"Oh, do not worry, dear Harry… I will not kill them…yet. See this blad over here is bewitched by a new spell I just created. If contacted by a person's blood that person will have nightmares about old memories, horrible flashbacks during the day, and a constant burning where ever they are cut. All I will do is cut a V in their right arm and then set them free. I hope you will enjoy the guilt of their pain."

After he was through he snapped his long fingers which signaled the first Death Eater to cut a large V into the young Bagman girl's arm causing her to cry out in anguish. Harry's heart stopped when he snapped again. Not Ginny! They pulled out a blade and cut the same large V in her arm, shoving her to the ground. When he snapped his fingers for a third time, Hermione shoved at her Death Eater's knees causing him to fall giving her a chance to escape.

Harry and Ron saw their chance as well and ran straight at the large group. Ron was shouting all the spells he knew right and left. Harry took off straight towards Voldemort. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Death Eather after Death Eater fall. He soon realized member of the Order and the D.A were at his side. The first battle had truly begun.
