A/N: Here is the chapter that you have all been waiting for. The chapter where the traitor shall be punished and also the Ice Queen's test to see if Harry and Tonks can make the cut. I would like to say thank you to all that reviewed with ideas on how to punish the traitor.
Warning: If you haven't noticed Harry is becoming a bit darker as the story develops, and this chapter just adds to that a bit. This is not your normal 'poor' 'little' Harry any more he is changing and not always for the better. Also Tonks is changing too, so no flames about it.
I would like to say thank you to jessdarkwater, HPfreakout, VaterVonMelkor, Pleione, Never Odd Or eveN, and The Black Lycan for reviewing.
DJ Rodriguez: Thanks for reviewing and I am glad you liked the chapter. I will see about the "action" between Harry and Tonks, though I doubt there will be much of that kind in this chapter, since it is the test chapter.
Ulkser6666: Thank you for your excellent idea, though I am not sure if that will be the final decision.
Just Me: Excellent idea for a way to punish the traitor, and we will have to see if that is the out come.
Japanese Jew: OUCH! You have a wicked mind indeed and I will consider it, though I am not sure it will happen.
Chapter 18: Ice Queen's Test
Harry returned to the mansion with Tonks and went to their room for the night. They had an important test coming up, and they needed their rest.
The next morning they made their way down to the dinning hall where they met Spade and the rest of the team members.
"Wolf we have decided to hold a meeting to see what exactly we should do with the man who tried to kill you." Spade said as he motioned for Harry and Tonks to sit down. "I feel that his betrayal warrants a harsh punishment, though I felt the group as a whole should make the decision."
"Spade we aren't actually part of the group." Tonks said in a low voice.
"You are correct Panther, at this point you are not officially part of the team. However since the attempt was made against Wolf, you both shall have a say in his punishment." Spade said as he looked at everyone seated at the table. "Who would like to give their opinion first?"
"Actually sir I have a theory." Ice Queen said in a harsh tone. Spade motions for her to speak. "I think we should cut off his balls and send them to the ministry as a warning not to piss with Wolf or any of us."
"As tempting as that sounds I am not sure any of us would like to do that to him." Spade said with a sick look on his face.
"I would gladly do it, I could even decapitate the bastard and send that head to the ministry as well." Ice Queen said with an evil grin on her face.
"No my dear I am sure we can find something else to serve as his punishment." Spade said as he directed his attention to Blade. "Blade do you have any ideas?"
"Well I think that Wolf should be the one to punish him, so maybe he could put him under the Cruciatus Curse until he goes insane." Blade said as he glanced at Harry with a grin on his face.
"That is a tempting offer, but I don't know if driving the man into insanity will be the solution that we seek." Spade said, as he looked around for any more suggestions.
"We could always take him high in the air and let him plunge to his death." Tiger said as looked at Spade.
"Interesting choice for you Tiger." Spade said as he looked at Tonks. "Panther what do you feel should be done with the traitor?"
"Honestly I don't know, maybe we could use him to get the ministry off of Wolf's ass for a while." Tonks said as she looked at Harry.
"Interesting theory, and suggestions on how we could do that?" Spade said as he looked around.
"You could use my hair to make a Polyjuice Potion couldn't you?" Harry asked as he looked at Spade.
"Actually Wolf, if that is not your true form the Polyjuice Potion would make him appear as your natural form not your current one." Quake said, and since he is the resident potions master he would know.
"Oh, I didn't think about that." Harry said as he looked down wishing that Snape had taught him better in potions class.
"Actually that is a good idea, but instead of using a Polyjuice Potion, how about we transfigure him to look like you Wolf. It isn't permanent, but it should buy us some time and it would prove we are serious about what we do to spies." Quake said as he looked at Wolf.
"That is an idea, but I don't think that will do much, but irritate the Ministry." Tiger said as he sneered at Quake.
"Yeah it would irritate the ministry, it wouldn't be a great punishment, but it would get their bloody attention." Blade said as he glared at Tiger.
"You expect me to do that! The man tried to kill me and all you want to do is irritate the Ministry!" Harry shouted as he stood up. "Look I will agree to send a message to those at the ministry, but it will be done in a way that will really get their attention."
"Wolf what do you have in mind?" Spade asked with a worried expression on his face.
"I say we torture the bastard and send whatever is left of him back to the ministry with a warning if they try this again the next one doesn't come back alive! Further more we obliviate him so he can't remember a damn thing." Harry said as he looked around.
"All in favor?" Spade asked and watched as everyone but him raised their hand. "So that is what will happen."
"I agree with Wolf, but I also think that I should be there." Tonks said with a hint of excitement and concern in her voice.
Spade looked at her and nodded as their breakfast was brought in. "Wolf, Panther and you will be given access to the prisoner after breakfast, but don't torture him to long because your test with Ice Queen is scheduled for ten o'clock."
Harry grinned as he loaded up his plate. "That's more than enough time for us, right my love?"
Tonks gave Harry a weary smile as she put some food on her plate.
After finishing their breakfast Harry and Tonks made their way into the dungeon with emotionless expressions upon their faces. Both were dressed in matching black robes with a red trim.
Harry aimed his wand at the man as he went to open the door. "Don't try anything or you die!"
The man cowered in the corner of the cell as Harry opened the door. Harry and Tonks both walked in with determined and uncalculating expressions on their faces with their wands aimed at the man.
"Davey Gudgeon you have been found guilty of attempted murder and are here by sentenced to be tortured by my hand for your attempt on my life." Harry said in his Silver Wolf voice.
"Please, I am sorry, please don't do this, please show me mercy." Davey pleaded as he crouched in the corner out of fear.
"Mercy! You should be thankful Wolf agreed to only torture you, because honestly you deserve death!" Tonks said in a heartless tone that she didn't even recognize as her own.
Harry looked at her with a shocked expression on his face not believing that she said that. Harry then grinned at her. "Thanks love" he said and then turned towards Davey. "Panther is right your worthless bastard you are being shown mercy."
"Please no!"
"Enough of your whining! Crucio!" Harry said as he watched the man collapse in agony and he started screaming from the pain.
Tonks looked at Harry and grinned as the man screamed out in pain. "You enjoy this so much it is scary, but really is Crucio the best you can do love?" Tonks asked as she aimed her wand at Davey. "Electrika!"
Davey screamed out in even more pain as his body was filled with electrical current that could possible electrocute him to death, but Tonks kept it low enough to just fill him with lots of pain.
"Very nice love…didn't think you were one for dark magic, but I got one better. Refgra!" Harry said with a grin as Davey screamed out as his bones were twisted and pulled in a very painful manner.
"Technically that was a dark curse I used, but if you want something a bit darker how about this. Machina!" Pink needle like threads shot out of Tonks wand at a rapid rate nailing Davey all over causing him a great amount of pain.
"That was interesting." Harry said as he sent a bone-breaking curse at Davey.
The contest continued on for a half hour, Harry and Tonks taking turns to see who could cause the most pain. However they had to stop after a half hour as they were both beginning to get a bit excited about torturing the man who tried to kill Harry and Tonks in the maze.
Tonks ran her hand over Harry's chest. "Wolf I am so damn horny right now."
Harry could tell by the glint in her eyes that she was getting really excited. "Later babe we must finish here and meet up with Icy for her little exam."
Harry aimed his wand at Davey. "It is time for you to forget all, but what I tell you. Obliviate Totalmente!"
When Harry said that he would forget all, but what he told him he wasn't lying. The curse he used erased every memory the man ever had in his lifetime. All that remained was the warning to the ministry, which was.
If anyone tries to attack any member of Silver Wolf's pack again like this traitor did they will be killed on the spot and the lifeless corpse will be all that is sent to the ministry!
Tonks had to push her 'excitement' to the back of her mind until later as she made her way up from the dungeons with Harry. They made their way to the living room where they were to meet Ice Queen at ten o'clock.
"Is the prisoner taken care of?" Ice Queen asked with a glint of excitement in her eyes.
"Yes ma'am he is on his way to the Ministry of Magic with no memories, but with the warning I told him to tell the minister." Harry said in a cool tone.
"Very nice, Spade was a bit worried when his screams died down, he thought you might have accidentally killed the poor fool."
"No the putts passed out, so we had to revive him so he would be alert to what was happening." Tonks said in a cold tone that matched that of the Ice Queen.
"Well then since that is done, it is time to go for your test." Ice Queen said as she looked at both of them. "We are going to a small island that Spade owns. The test will be held inside Spade's Wizarding Hotel."
"What is our test Ice Queen?" Harry asked as he tried to figure out what the test could be.
"It is a simple test really, all you have to do is get to Fox and get her out without being captured. There will be no killing curses used, but all others are welcomed." Ice Queen said in a matter of fact way. "There are people inside that will act as guards, and you will act as if this is a hostage situation since Fox is being protected by guards."
Harry stood thinking for a moment about what was said. Tonks and him would have to go in and save Ginny Weasley, also known as Fox, from the 'guards' that were holding her. "Sounds simple enough what's the catch?"
"Now if I explained all the tricks to you there would be no real test now would there. Just remember it will take you both to save her, so you must work as a team."
"Ice Queen you said that this is a Wizarding Hotel, so does that mean there will be more witches and wizards in there other than the ones posing as guards?" Tonks asked trying to figure out what she meant.
"Yes Panther and thank you I almost forgot to mention that point. The Wizarding Hotel is full of Wizarding families and other witches and wizards that come to the private island as a way to get away from their normal lives. That is why I said no killing curses are to be used, since there are hotel guests there. Not like we want our own members killed anyway, but I like to warn you about it. Those that are there on vacation know only that there will be a drill today, so if they see spells being fired that they have nothing to worry about. I am sorry that I can't tell you which ones are guests and which are guards but as you can guess that is part of the test."
Harry and Tonks used a Portkey along with Ice Queen to get to the location of the test. Before them stood a tall building that did resemble that of a muggle hotel. It was fifty stories high with a penthouse on the top of it.
"You have thirty minutes to come up with a plan of attack and then you will be given one hour to get to Fox and get her out. If you are not out with her by noon then you will fail the test." Ice Queen said as she Apparated to her vantage point to observe the test.
"So love any idea on how to save our hostage?" Tonks asked in her normal sweet tone as she looked at Harry.
"Actually I don't yet, I am more concerned with what we don't know about this situation." Harry said as he glanced at the building from his location about thirty feet away.
Tonks looked at Harry and then at the building. "Yeah she did seem kind of vague about the whole test. There has to be more to it than just the guards watching the building."
"My thoughts exactly, and now all we have to do is figure out what else is hidden in there." Harry said as he looked around and saw a small table off away from them. "It would seem that Queen gave us a little more to work with."
Harry walked over and saw a map on the table showing the inside of the building. It was a normal map that only showed the building plans for the building. "Well this should be useful, it will at least give us an idea of what the building looks like inside."
"Well those plans might show us the rooms, but without knowing where she is being held and how many guests are inside we could run into problems."
Harry pointed at the penthouse on the map. "My Galleons are on this, I would bet anything they have her in there. It is likely that they would keep her away from the guests and make our job even harder to get to her."
"I don't know love that seems to obvious to be her location. Think about it Wolf, if this was anyone else doing the test I would agree, but we are dealing with Ice Queen. She would put her somewhere that we wouldn't think about looking."
Harry looked at the map for a moment more and then looked at Tonks. "You're right I guess I wasn't thinking, obviously she wouldn't put her there. We need to get inside the hotel and see if we can find anything that could lead us to Ginny."
"Well we have about twenty-five minutes to plan out this rescue and then we have to get her out of there."
"I say we don't waste time planning because we will need all the time we have to locate her. I just wish we had some idea where they were keeping her!" Harry said as he slammed his fist down on to the table.
Tonks put her hand on Harry's shoulder and looked at the map. "Wolf what if we charmed the map? We could put a location charm on it, and that should show us where she is."
"Nice idea hun, but we would need something of hers for the charm to work." Harry said as he looked helplessly at the blank map.
Tonks walked around the table thinking and glanced down at a small section that was like a drawer. "Wolf did you check that drawer?"
"What drawer?" Harry asked as he looked at Tonks and then followed with his eyes in the direction she was pointing. Harry reached down and opened the drawer and pulled out a yellow envelope and a pair of Omnioculars. Harry opened the envelope and a small note fell out.
I didn't think you would find this, but if you did then you were actually trying to make a plan instead of running head long into this. Well I hope the contents of this envelope and the Omnioculars will help you in your planning process, good luck.
Ice Queen
"That is interesting, she didn't trust us to make a plan." Harry said in a smart tone as he looked in the envelope.
"Well you were about to run in without a plan, so maybe she wasn't too far off." Tonks said in a joking tone as she looked at the contents.
Harry pulled out three strands of hair from the envelope, a red hair, a blonde hair, and a black hair. There were also two IDs and two room keys for the same hotel room inside the envelope.
"Now why would she give us three hairs?" Harry asked as he examined the IDs.
"The better question would be what's up with the IDs?" Tonks said as she looked at the cards in Harry's hand. One had a picture of a man and the other was of a female. The IDs indicated that they were a young married couple.
"I think it is time that you and I played the role of a young married couple Panther, because there here are our ticket into this hotel. Most likely only those with these cards can gain access to the hotel, and the room keys is probably for a room registered to this couple." Harry said as he sat them down and started to look at the hairs. "The red one is most likely Ginny's, but I am still not sure about the other two.
"Maybe they belonged to the couple we are to mimic?"
"I doubt that babe since we could just change our appearance to look like them, unless they are still in the hotel."
"Well how about we do the location on all three hairs and then we can see where the people are in the hotel. We might not know who they belong to, but that will give us somewhere to start."
Harry nodded and started to work on the location charms and when he finished he found that the red hair person and the black hair one were in the same room. The blonde haired one was located in the penthouse.
"Are you sure the red haired one is in that room?" Tonks said pointing to a room on the sixth floor.
"Yeah, that's why it is a red dot, the black dot is the black haired person, and the white dot is the blonde haired person."
Tonks picked up the Omnioculars and aimed them towards the hotel and after zooming in she was able to see in the windows. There were people all around from what she could see, and didn't know where to even begin.
"Panther I need you to do me a favor. Do you remember the Halcyon Tierces charm?"
Tonks thought about it for a moment and then grinned. "Sure that's a basic transfiguration spell to change someone into a falcon, why?"
Harry grinned as he looked at Tonks. "I want to check out that penthouse to see if my hunch is right, and I can't walk up there to see. I want you to change me into a falcon, so I can fly up and check it out."
"What am I suppose to do while you are flying around?" Tonks asked with a bit of concern in her voice. "After all we are to be working as a team here."
"We are my dear see while I am checking that out, I want you to take on this appearance." Harry said as he handed Tonks the ID for the female that they had. "I then need you to use it to get into the hotel and make your way to our room. Once there open the window, so I can get in. If I am right we will be able to bring this test to an end rather quickly."
Tonks agreed and turned Harry into a falcon and then made her way towards the hotel after gathering all their stuff.
Harry flew up into the sky and made his way up the fifty stories until he was at the top of the hotel where the penthouse was located. He flew around the penthouse a few times and located a window that he could look in. He landed on a ledge and peered inside and saw a red hair girl tied to a chair. He couldn't see her face since her back was towards the window, but he assumed it was Ginny tied to the chair. He could also see three men standing in the room with their wands out by their sides. Harry flew off as one of the men walked towards the window.
Harry flew down to where his room should have been located and found Tonks standing in there with the window already open. Harry flew in and landed on the bed out of breath from the flying.
Tonks said the counter charm and turned Harry back into his human form, and he stretched out on the bed for a moment still catching his breath.
"Well?" Tonks asked as she walked over to him.
"The blonde is a decoy like I suspected. They had her use Polyjuice potion to look like Ginny thinking we would rush to the penthouse to save her. So looks like you were right about Ice Queen out thinking us, but since we know Ginny isn't there we can go get her out of room six without bothering the decoy."
"That seems to simple." Tonks said as she looked at the map again, which showed the same things it had before.
"Well I don't think Ice Queen expected us to find that envelope. I believe she thought I would just rush to the penthouse and rescue the wrong person."
"Maybe, but it still seems all to convenient to me."
"Yeah I know what you mean hun, I just can't think of what else she could have planned." Harry said as he ran his hands through his hair.
Tonks sat down on the bed by Harry. "We have ten minutes left for planning and then an hour to get her out, so we need to figure out something."
Harry was still lying on the bed when a knock came to the door. "House cleaning" came a female voice from behind the closed door.
Tonks looked at Harry and he quickly changed into the male appearance on the ID. Tonks stood up and made her way over to open the door as Harry hid out of sight with his wand aimed at the door.
Tonks opened the door to see a lady dressed in a maid's outfit. "Hello dear I am here to clean the room unless this is a bad time."
Tonks looked over the woman and then motioned for her to come in. "No now is fine."
The woman walked in with her wand in hand and started to use it to clean up the room. Tonks shut the door and Harry stepped out and fired a stunner at the maid dropping her to the floor.
"What did you do that for?" Tonks asked as she knelt down by the maid.
"Because my dear I think you would look much better as a maid." Harry said and then winked at Tonks, which indicated what he meant.
They tied the maid up and put a silencing charm on her. Tonks quickly changed her appearance to look exactly like the maid and then changed her clothes to look like the maid's outfit. "Is that better dear?"
"Well I would rather see your body in that outfit, but that will have to wait. Now then you will be able to access the sixth floor as the maid. I think it is time for us to go visit that floor hun."
"Umm how are you going to go down there with you still looking like that?"
"Well I am a guest here, but you're right they might know the identity of the guests that we could impersonate, so I will just have to go unnoticeably with a concealment charm."
Harry and Tonks made their way down to the sixth floor using the stairs. As they exited the stairs Harry moved forward a bit still hidden by the concealment charm. There were three guards watching the hallway that went down to where the room was located.
The guard farthest down the hall was leaning against the wall right beside the door, which probably led into the room where Ginny was being held. The second guard, who was half way between the two other guards, seemed to be asleep leaning against the wall. The third one, which was closest to Harry, was pacing back and fourth at the end of the corridor.
Harry ducked back to the stairs where Tonks was waiting for him. "There are three guards that I can see outside."
Tonks looked at Harry and still had a concerned look on her face. "Why does this seem so much like a trap?"
"It probably is a trap, but we have to rescue Fox and get out of here, so I think it is time for a little diversion." Harry said with a wink to Tonks as he glanced around to see the guard walking down the corridor towards the stairs.
Tonks grinned and then pushed up her breasts to make sure their was a good amount of cleavage showing out of the maid's outfit as she walked out of the stairway and down the corridor towards the guard.
"Can I help you?" The man said as he looked at Tonks in her disguise.
"You could let me pass sir, so I might go about cleaning." Tonks said as politely as possible as she stepped closer to the man.
The man grabbed her by the shoulders. "Why would I let you pass dear? Didn't you hear there are special guests on this level, so only authorized people are allowed down here."
"Surely you could let little ole' me down here to do my job." Tonks said in a sweet voice as she pressed she body closer to the man's body. "I could make it worth your while."
The man looked at her and glanced down at the cleavage practically bouncing out of her top. "How about we go over to the stairs and you show me how nice you can be. If you're a good girl I will see about letting you clean up."
Tonks nodded and walked back towards the steps swinging her hips in a seductive way. The man followed behind her looking directly at her ass as she walked with a grin on his face.
Harry felt a rush of rage and excitement flourish through him as he watched Tonks seduce the guard into following her. Harry waited until the man was inside the stairway and then nailed him with a stunner. He then nailed him with a full body bind, Harry then put up a silencing charm, so he could talk without fear of being heard.
"Nice work babe, you had that guy drooling all over you." Harry said as he aimed his wand at the man and woke him up after removing the concealment charm off himself. "Sorry bud, but I am the only one who gets to see how nice my lady can be."
"So now what babe, we have the guard, but they will be looking for him if he is missing too long." Tonks said as she looked at Harry with a grin on her face.
Harry looked at the guard for a moment. "Tell me what traps are set up!"
'I can't" was the only thing the guard said.
"Imperio!" Harry said as he aimed his wand at the guard. "What traps are in place?"
The man tried to fight the control, but Harry over powered him and he was forced to reveal the secrets he knew. "The straight corridor is set up with a detection charm, so as soon as Wolf or Panther enter it the guards will be alerted no matter what disguise they are in. once the alert sounds the corridor will fill with guards looking to bring them down."
"What about the room itself, what is in there?" Tonks asked as she looked at the man.
The man tried again to fight it, but Harry forced him into telling. "Fox was made to look like one of ours, so no one would know who she really was. There are five guards inside the room, our captain is guarding Fox and the other four are watching the door. The room is set up, so only guards can enter the room."
"Wolf what are we going to do? I knew it would be trapped, but this will be near impossible to get in and out of." Tonks said with a bit of concern in her voice.
"Panther we have been trained to deal with this type of situation. When the odds are against us we just have to improvise." Harry said as he kissed Tonks on the cheek, and then turned to the guard. "You will escort Panther to the room and claim that you captured her on the floor."
"Wolf! Are you nuts? You're handing me over to them?" Tonks said now really concerned about what he was doing.
"My love I would never allow them to hurt you, but as you said we will need to get in there some how and the odds aren't favorable for us to just fight into the room." Harry said giving Tonks a reassuring grin, which didn't do that much to make her feel better. Harry turned his attention once more to the guard. "Once you have taken her in you will suggest using her as an extra hostage. Once your captain agrees all three of us will attack the men inside with stunners, but neither of you do anything until you see the captain fall."
The guard had no choice but to do what he was told and led Tonks into the corridor and an alarm sounded causing guards to rush out of rooms with wands in hand.
"Jarvis what do you think your doing?" One of the guards asked the man who had his wand aimed at Tonks back. Harry stood behind him once again concealed from view, so he could sneak into the room.
"I caught this one trying to make her way down here by posing as a maid. I am taking her to the captain to see if he will keep her as a hostage too since we still need Wolf." Jarvis said as he poked Tonks making her step forward.
"Hold it! I need the password, so I know you're not Wolf in disguise." The guard said as he looked at Jarvis.
"Ice Pop." Jarvis said in his normal tone. "Now can I go?"
"Go ahead.' The guard said to Jarvis once he was given the password. He then turned to the rest of his squad. "Check the floor for Wolf, and then get back in your room to wait for him."
Jarvis continued to move Tonks towards the room and then said the password at the door, so he could get inside. Harry slipped inside unnoticed by any of them.
"Jarvis what is the meaning of this?" The captain asked as he looked at his man, who should have been on duty in the hallway.
"Sorry captain but I captured Panther, she was trying to pose as a maid to gain access to the floor." Jarvis said as he looked at his captain.
"Well, well if this isn't an interesting twist. Miss Panther if you would change into yourself, so I can be sure that you are in fact her." The captain said in a cool voice.
Tonks concentrated for a moment and changed into her normal appearance for Panther and stood before the captain.
"Well Miss Panther you have just became another hostage in this little exercise. I would hate to stun you, so please just sit down beside Fox and behave."
Tonks walked over and sat down by Ginny and waited for her cue to attack. She had a spare wand hid for just an emergency, since she willingly turned her other wand over when 'captured'.
"Jarvis you can go back out, and nice work keeping an eye out for Panther." The captain stated and then started to turn away as he was hit with a stunner dropping him to the floor.
Tonks jumped to her feet and fired a stunner at one of the other guards as he ran into the room. Jarvis nailed a second guard as he came in to the room. Harry sent two stunners that took out the other two guards.
"Fox you ready to leave?" Harry asked as he became visible again.
Ginny looked at him for a moment, something about the way he fought seemed all too familiar to her. She was stuck in her own thoughts as Tonks grabbed her shoulder. "Fox you okay?"
Ginny looked at Tonks not really knowing what was happening. She did know that something didn't feel right, but she also knew her role in the exercise. "I'm fine, just a bit surprised that you managed to see past the decoy so quickly."
"Fox I would love to explain it all to you, but we are only half way done here. I will say that it is our training that helped us, but for now we have to go. We have a little more than a half hour to get out of this hotel with you in hand." Harry said as he finished bounding the guards.
"We can't Apparate out, they have wards protecting from it. There is an Apparation point but I am not sure where it is." Ginny said still not sure who Wolf was, but having a feeling she knew him.
"Just great, well I should have expected this from Ice Queen. Panther please keep watch, while I look for a possible Apparation point." Harry said as he unrolled the map and started to look at the map.
Tonks went out of the room to watch for any guards, and Ginny stayed in the room with Harry as he looked at the map.
"Damn it I wish I had my father's skills." Harry muttered to himself as he looked at the map wishing he knew how his father, Sirius, Remus, and Peter managed to make their map of Hogwarts.
Ginny was watching Harry and managed to make out what he said, though she didn't know exactly what he meant by it.
"That's it!" Harry said as he slammed his fist down on the map. "Why was I so dumb, of course! All I have to do is cast the Locaration charm on the map and find out where the Apparation point is located."
Ginny's eyes went wide when she heard Wolf's outburst, no one knew about the Locaration charm. It was a charm that was developed by Hermione and Harry in the seventh year. Ginny knew about the spell because she was part of the DA team that went to rescue Ron when Voldemort captured him. Hermione was afraid of what they might run into so she wanted a spell to locate an Apparation point that was to be set up Order members on the outside. Since the DA team didn't know where the point would be Hermione used her spell on a map they found of Malfoy's mansion to locate the Apparation point, so they could Apparate out once they had Ron away from Voldemort.
Ginny's mouth opened and shut a few times as she stared at Harry and then finally she lost it. She ran over and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "Harry you're alive!"
