A/N: This story is moving rather quickly, but I really hope you like it. I encourage you to review and voice your opinion! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the few who have reviewed last chapter.
A/N: This is a very short chapter. Sorry! But I think it was important to end it where I did.
Disclaimer: All I own is the plot and any spells or characters you don't recognize from the brilliant J.K Rowling's enchanting stories.
Ginny was still staring transfixed at the parchment, when Hermione rushed in with a piece of paper clutched in her hands. "Ginny, I think-. What's wrong?"
Ginny opened her mouth a few times to get the words out. The drawing of the castle was very detailed, well drawn, and creepy, for lack of better words. This was especially odd because she possessed no extraordinary artistic talent and sitting in front of her was a great piece of art, with the dark mark floating overhead. Ginny just handed to paper to her.
Hermione's eyes went oval, "Why did you draw this?" she demanded.
"I don't know. I didn't mean to, I was just doodling around and when I looked down this is what I saw." She stared at the parchment more closely and a smile played on her lips.
"What are you smiling at?" Ginny exclaimed, "This is downright creepy."
"Ginny don't you recognize this style of castle?"
"No," she said questioningly.
"There was a whole chapter of them in History of Magic. This style is found in Ireland. When you told me about your dream, I thought about what kind of spell it might be," she plopped down in the chair next to Ginny's bed and spread the crumpled piece of paper, "I wrote everything down. I remembered something we learned in Defense against the Dark Arts. I don't know who came up with it but it is gruesome, and characterized by the blue light that leaves the victim's body, and it-."
"Hermione, not that I'm not enjoying the history lesson, but what are you getting at?"
"The spell you described sounds exactly like the power drawing spell we learned about. It's a very temperamental spell; you need to be in the right climate and whole mess of other things. Ireland is the perfect place to perform this spell. The drawing of the castle you subconsciously drew confirms it. Though there are so many castles in Magical Ireland it could take forever to track down."
"So, wait," Ginny said a smile coming on her face, "We could be able to track down Harry?"
Hermione smiled also, "It seems so. Your vision reminded me of what," she paused a moment, "Harry used to get. His visions were normally correct, and it's obvious that your love holds some sort of power that can connect you," Ginny smiled she was truly happy for the first time in months. This only lasted a brief moment however. It felt like someone poured ice cold water into her stomach, as she remembered what else she had drawn. She grabbed Hermione's arm.
"But the dark mark was above the castle," she slowly said. Hermione looked instantly sick.
"Well, I've got to get to the ministry. They can resume search immediately," she turned to leave; not easing Ginny's worries any.
Hermione rushed out of Ginny's hospital room and ran right into Ron.
"Ugh!" he exclaimed as the rammed into each other. "Oh, hey, I was just stopping by to see Gin."
"No, we need to go to the Ministry. I think we may be able to find Harry!"
His eyes widened in shock, "What? Why?"
"Well, Gin had this- and the drawing. It all adds up, we just need-. Oh, come on let's just go, we're wasting time," she drug Ron by the wrist.
Ron let her drag him all they way out of St. Mungo's. When she was about to apparate he stopped her.
"Hermione! What is going on?" he questioned.
She sighed and turned to him, "Ginny has been having some odd dreams, dreams about Harry. She sees him being tortured."
"That is kind of like what he used to get isn't it?"
"Yes, that is why I found it so suspicious, so I looked it up and found out that the spell Ginny dreamed could only be performed under specific conditions. Every time the spell is performed it needs to be performed in moderate climate. This is easy to find, but there are few places in the world where the climate remains about the same year round. The first place that came to my mind was Ireland because I remembered reading about its fair climate. It almost always stays at about 9 degrees Celsius. So when I went back to see Ginny she had drawn a castle, subconsciously I suppose, that is almost identical to castles that are found in Magical Ireland," Hermione took a deep breath, having said all this in one.
Ron looked at her open mouthed for a moment, "Well, I'm not sure I got all that, but I'll take your word for it," he said grinning, "Let's go," they were about to apparate when a loud crack was heard behind them. Spinning around they saw a very bloody Harry lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
"Oh my!" shouted Hermione rushing to the body. She flipped him over on his back. His eyes were closed and his breathing was very shallow. Just as in Ginny's dream is dilapidated robes hung over a very emaciated body. His ribs jutted out from under his discolored skin.
Ron stood fixed to the spot staring at Harry's figure, "Ron! Help me get him inside. HURRY!" Snapping out of his initial shock he rushed over and through him onto his shoulders.
