Chapter 14 – The Revelations
The four of them reached the doors of the Great Hall.
"Who wants to open the door?" Cho said nervously.
"I will." Harry sighed. He pushed and the huge door opened with a loud squeaking noise.
Everyone turned their attention to the door as it slowly opened. The crowd gathered at the Weasley twins stall turned around. Fred, who was also busy snogging former Gryffindor captain Angelina Johnson also turned around.
"Ginny!" George shouted and ran to Ginny's side. The huge crowd also followed George and surrounded the 4 of them.
"What happened?" Fred stuttered, not believing his sister just died.
"Murdered" Harry said softly, "by Voldermort.
The name sent shockwaves to whoever was around them. Ron had one hand on George's shoulder, trying to comfort his sobbing brother.
"Now now, what's happening here?" Professor McGonagall's clear voice sounded as she tried to drive through the huge crowd. Her face turned pearly white as she saw what happened to Ginny.
"What happened, Mr Potter?" McGonagall said in a squeaky voice.
"She was killed, by You-Know-Who." Hermione said, noticing that Harry was too disconsolate to speak.
"Everyone out of the way!" Dumbledore's loud voice echoed around the crowd. Obediently, everyone made way for him. As he saw what had happened, Harry saw a tear fall from his eyes.
"All students are to make their way back to their common rooms. All guests are requested to stay in the hall." Dumbledore said. "I would need to speak to the four of you," pointing to Harry, Hermione, Ron and Cho.
The short walk to Dumbledore's office was the quietest moment in Harry's life. No one was talking at all. Even talkative Ron was not saying anything.
"Pompous Airbag" Dumbledore said. The door whizzed open and they walked into the office.
"Now Harry," Dumbledore said, "Tell me what happened."
And Harry told all. All about the dream, the fight in the Chamber of Secrets. The choice Voldermort made him choose.
Dumbledore put a reassuring hand on Harry's shoulder. "I know how you all must feel. To lose one of your best friends is one of the worst feelings anyone can feel. I assure you that Ms Weasley will get a funeral service in Hogwarts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to contact the rest of the Weasleys." Dumbledore then swept out of the office.
Harry slumped onto one of the couches and thought "I caused Ginny to die. Who'll be next?" That thought ran through his mind so many times till he fell asleep.
"Ginny!" The loud cry of Mrs Weasley's voice woke Harry up. He saw the Weasley parents, together with Bill and Charlie come into the room. "What happened?" Mr Weasley asked.
"Ms Weasley was killed by Lord Voldermort." Dumbledore said, bringing chills to everyone but Harry.
"Why?" Bill asked,
"I will tell all of you what happened" Dumbledore said. "But now, I believe they," pointing at all 4 of them, "need to go to bed."
Harry stood up and walked away dejectedly.
In the Gryffindor common room, the mood was much worse. Nobody was talking, playing or even doing their homework. Everyone was just too shocked.
"Why did he kill Ginny" Parvati piped in, "She was such a nice person.
"Don't talk about it." Ron whispered. "You'll piss Harry off."
"Potter, I need to talk to you." The voice of McGonagall spoke
"Yes, Professor." Harry limped lifelessly towards her, with Ron and Hermione following behind."
"Well you see Potter. We need 3 more people to be Ginny's pallbearers during the service." McGonagall said
"We'll be glad, Professor." Ron said.
"Well than, OK Mr Weasley," McGonagall said. "And Potter," turning to Harry, "it's not your fault. We believe you."
"Thanks, Professor." Harry muttered.
"Oh yes," McGonagall said as she walked out, "You'll need to give a small speech on that day."
"Yes Professor." Harry mumbled.
Kinda sad, eh? Anyway, in this story, the Ministry still doesn't believe that Voldermort is back. It's a backdrop for the next chapter. Pls continue to R&R thanks.
