Chapter 24: Silver...
Harry and Ginny looked around at several shops before coming to a small jewellery shop. They browsed the shelves until Ginny found a pretty silver photo frame but she then placed it down once she noticed the price tag.
"Don't worry Gin, I'll get it"
"No Harry, you can't!"
Harry leant over and kissed Ginny on her forehead, "Now Miss Weasley, it's not like I can't afford it!"
"But-"
"No Gin, I'm getting it. I've gotta get something else so do you want to wait outside?" Harry asked
Ginny frowned, nodded then left the store. Once he finished handing over the galleons, he heard a scream. "Ginny!" Harry yelled. He ran out of the store to find a hooded man holding Ginny by the throat, pointing his wand at her heart. Harry noticed one of the Death Eaters arms were silver. It was Peter Pettigrew.
"Ah, hello Potter. I wasn't aware that you took in charity cases" Pettrigrew laughed. Wormtail tried to sound confident but his voice began to shake.
"Let go of Ginny, Wormtail!" Harry yelled, His blood was boiling with anger.
Wormtail pulled Ginny towards him, her back leaning against his chest.
"I wouldn't bother personally. The dirty blood traitor deserves to be put down"
When Ginny heard this she threw her head back and felt her crown connect with his chin. Wormtail let go and Harry directed a disarming charm towards him. Wormtail's wand shot out of his hands but before Harry could stun him, Wormtail summoned his wand then apparated from Diagon Alley.
Harry ran towards Ginny and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"It's OK Harry, I'm fine really!" Ginny said.
Harry smiled and kissed her pasionately on her lips.
Ginny laughed, "Hey if I get that for being stupid enough to get attacked, maybe I should become a hostage more often!"
Harry frowned.
"I'm joking Harry! Really!"
At that moment Fred and George ran up to Ginny and hugged her tightly.
"Merlin Ginny, you scared us!" George said
"Yeah, I nearly shit myself when I saw that Death Eater grab you" said Fred
"And that wouldn't of been pretty!" added George.
"Right" said Fred "It wouldn't" The twins laughed.
"Come on, you can floo back"
Harry grabbed the presents and followed Fred, George and Ginny back towards 'Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes'.
"I thought you two were still at the house?" Ginny asked
"Well our young sister, after our conversation we decided to come down to our shop" Fred started
"And work on some products to use against Malfoy" George finished
"I'm glad we did too!" Fred added
"We can look after ourselves" Gnny answered
Fred and George looked from Harry and Ginny, "As we noticed" George smiled
They all entered the shop and walked towards the fire place.
"By the way, what is with the both of you?" Fred asked
"Well um-"
"Ginny's my girlfriend, if that's what you want to know" Harry answered
"But what about-"
"He knows and he is supportive of me!" Ginny replied looking at Harry to make sure he really was. Harry smiled and winked back at her for reassurance.
"Ok then" said George.
"We better get going. I can trust you two not to say anything about what happened"
"Which bit little sis? The bit about how you two were attacked?-" George replied
"-Or the bit about you and Harry?" Fred finished
"Both would be good actually" Ginny answered
"Right o then" Fred replied
"Well it's time to go" Ginny looked at her new boyfriend, "Harry?"
"You go ahead Ginny, we need a word with young Harry here" George said
Ginny looked at her twin brothers then back to Harry.
"Oh it's nothing really major, just business stuff" Fred reassured her.
Harry nodded at Ginny to go. She mouthed 'good luck' then travelled to Grimmauld Place. Harry backed away slowly from the twins who were both wearing evil smiles on their faces.
"Don't worry Harry, we're not going to hurt you-" George started
"We just want to give you a friendly warning." said Fred
"If you do anything to cause Ginny any more hurt and suffering-"
"-we won't be happy!"
"And you wouldn't want that now would you Harry?" George finished
Harry laughed "I would never want to hurt her. I love her too much" he replied
"You love her?" Fred asked
"Yeah I do" said Harry
"And you would never hurt her?" George asked
"Never"
"We'll see"
"Indeed we shall dear brother" George replied
Harry looked at the twins, "Can I go now?" Harry asked
"Yes you can but-"
"-remember our words young Potter" Fred finished
Harry laughed at Fred and George and then flooed back to his Godfather's old house.
