Chapter 37: Legilimency...
"Ah Wormtail, it seems that you have redeemed yourself. Everything seems to have gone to plan" Voldemort said as he glided past Peter Pettigrew
"My only aim is to serve you my Lord" Wormtail stuttered while bowing low.
The Dark Lord turned towards Wormtail and shot him a deadly glare, "You lie but I'm not concerned with that at this moment, are the Deatheaters in place?"
"Yes my Lord. I gave them the hairs of the students thatI removed and are in position" Wormtail squeaked
"Good. And what of Bellatrix?"
"She is in position too my Lord and the apparation wall around the school will be removed any moment"
"Excellent. Once we have the girl, the attack on Hogwarts will begin. By tommorow night, Dumbledore and Potter will be gone forever" Voldemorts laugh echooed through the room.
Harry sat up quickly, drenched in sweat and clutching his scar. Turning around in the bed he saw a letter laying upon the pillow instead of a beautiful red head. Harry sat up and opening the letter, reading it slowly.
To my dearest Harry,
I woke up early from what I think was a brackston hick ( practice labour pain) and thought to myself that I should get back to the common room before anyone, especially my brother, became suspicious.
I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart and soul Harry and I want to thank you for just being you. When my lifehas becomedark, it seems to brighten when you are around. I can't imaginemy life without you.
I'll see you in the morning.
Love Always,
Your Ginny Forever.
Harry grinned as he placed the letter back upon the pillow. Thinking of Ginny, his mind raced back to his dream. 'She's in trouble' Harry verbalised. He quickly got dressed and ran out of the Room of Requirement.
Reaching the gargoyles, he yelled every sweet name that he could think of:-
"Chocolate frogs, sherbet lemons, fizzing whizbees, acid pops, bertie bott's every flavoured beans, cockrach clusters, chocoballs, exploding bon bons, fudge flies, ice mice, jelly slugs, licorice wands, pepper imps, sugar quills, sugar mice, peppermint toads" Harry recited. He looked at the gargoyles and they did nothing.
"Yeah that would be right!" Harry said to himself "For I know it could be something like M&M's!" Harry stoped when the gargoyles moved. Harry climbed up the stairs two at a time and burst into Professor Dumbledore's office. A startled headmaster turned towards Harry while still stroking his phoenix, Fawkes.
"Professor, there is going to be an attack on the school!"
"Are you sure Harry? Dumbledore asked
"I am certain sir"
"Well then, we must prepare the school and notify the Order" Dumbledore stoped as he noticed Harry walking back towards the door "Where are you going Harry?"
Harry turned round to face the headmaster "I need to see if Ginny is ok"
"I see" Dumbledore replied "Harry, is there anything you would like to tell me?"
Harry looked closely at Dumbledore and realised what he was doing. Harry opened his mind to Dumbledore to show him his thoughts. Harry thought of the dream that he had just had then hethought of Ginny and the baby and how he wanted the baby to be his. He also thought of the dreams that Ginny has been having, the pendant and about his vision about Voldemort not wanting Harry to change the babies genes. Then his thoughts drifted before he could stop them to what had happened between him and Ginny only hours before.
A huge grin appeared across Dumbledore's face and his eye's seemed to twinkle even more "Very well Harry, you may go. I will alert the school and you can go and check if Miss Weasley is fine"
Nodding, Harrya thaks tothe Headmaster and left the office without a word, running back to the common room. 'She'll be fine' Harry thought, 'she's probably curled up in front of the fire in the common room'.
Harry's thoughts were stoped abruptly when he turned the corner to find several Deatheaters blocking his way.
Ginny woke up by a gentle shake of her shoulders. Leaning over her was Madam Pomfrey, Colin and several other Gryffindors from varying years. Behind them was Dean who was sitting in the corner.
"Ginny dear, are you ok?" Madam Pomfrey asked tentively while gently patting the bump on her head with a damp cloth.
"Yeah I am but I have to warn Harry-"
"Shhh, it's alright Ginny" Madam Pomfrey whispered.
"What do you mean it's alright? Hogwarts is under attack and here we are in, in-" Ginny paused and looked at her surroundings. They were in a very large prison cell that seemed to be in an old cellar. "I guess you could call this a jail in god knows where!"
"I think we are at the Malfoy Manor" Madam Pomfrey commented
"It doesn't matter, we need to get out of here now!" Ginny thought for a moment then felt around her neck for the necklace that Harry gave her. She looked around the ground for the necklace but she couldn't find it. She then searched her pockets for her wand.
"They took your wand and anything that they thought we could use against them" Colin said glummily
"Anything that looked magical really" A first year added.
Ginny groaned "What are we going to do!"
"You my sweet, are going to drink up this little concoction we have made for you like a good little girl"
Everyone turned towards the cell door to find Bellatrix standing in the threshold holding a goblet and with 7 Deatheaters behind her.
"Get away from her!" Dean yelled as he ran towards Bellatrix. As he approached her, a Deatheater grabbed Dean and threw him across the cell, knocking him out cold.
Bellatrix laughed while 5 Deatheaters held the students and Madam Pomfrey back as 2 others grabbed Ginny and tilted her head back.
"Let go of me!" Ginny yelled. She tried to kick and squirm away from the Deatheaters.
"My, my you are a feisty one aren't you?" one Deatheater observed
"Open her mouth" Bellatrix ordered.
Ginny snapped at the Deatheaters fingers as he tried to pry her jaw open. He quickly jerked his hand away and went to slap her across the face but was stopped by Bellatrix. She waged her index finger from side to side at the Deatheater. Turning back to Ginny, she came face to face to her and spoke softy, "That was very naughty Miss Weasley. Now let us give you your medicine then we will be on our merry way. If you don't, I will kill one of them" Bellatrix pointed towards the others then turned back to Ginny "and do not fear,your medicinewill not harm your baby"
Prying Ginny's mouth open again, the Deatheaters applied more pressure upon her while Bellatrix poured the potion down Ginny's throat.
"Good girl! Now swollow," Bellatrix blocked Ginny's nose so she could swollow "excellent. Now if you will excuse me, I will be off to kill some Hogwarts Professors" Bellatrix laughed then left the cell with the others. Locking the door behind them, the group of Deatheathers apparated away.
Ginny got to her feet then collapsed again from a pain that ran from her abdomen to her back.
It's a little smaller then the last chapter I thinkbut I'm going to post another one on Monday (here, Sunday I guess for everyone else) then one every day from now until it's finished I hope!
