Ginny watched as Pig flew in the window carrying a large letter bearing her name. Today finally she would get her answer. She grabbed the letter as soon as Pig landed and ripped it open. She at first couldn't believe he was finally responding, but then she became confused because the letter just said he was alright and not to worry basically.

"HARRY POTTER!" Uh oh. Ginny felt a jerk behind her navel and before she knew it the she had been port keyed to a dingy kitchen.

Looking around Ginny saw a small round table, on it sat Hedwig, Harry's owl, who gave a short, loud hoot.

Voldemort was not happy. His best Death Eaters had failed to find Potter yet again. Not only that, the Dementors had also failed to dispose of Potter's two friends.

"Master." Snape said as he walked in and bowed. Voldemort didn't acknowledge Snape's presence.

"Master, we may have found where Potter has been hiding." Snape said raising up just a bit. Voldemort quickly snapped up upon hearing this.

"Where?" he asked.

"In a house in Scotland. The house is in a dingy muggle neighborhood." Snape replied in a disgusted tone.

"Very good." Voldemort said and went back into his stupor. Something had been bothering him lately. Something odd.

"My Lord?" Snape asked trying to get Voldemort's attention again.

"Yes." he replied grumpily.

"My Lord, the Malfoy's have fled." Snape said his face a mask.

"They are of no use to me anyway. You are dismissed." Voldemort snapped and again returned to dwelling on the weird feelings.

"Hello?" Ginny asked, looking around the dark kitchen with wide eyes. No one answered but something moved in the shadows.

"Hedwig?" she asked a bit scared. The thing moved again and she felt two eyes watching her.

"Come out before I hex you into next year!" she yelled pulling out her wand.

"Expelliarimus." a voice said and her wand flew out of her hand.

Something large and black emerged from the shadows and jumped onto the round table. It looked like a dog with long black shaggy fur and brilliant green eyes. Wait green eyes?

"Harry stop scarying her!" Hermione said as she burst into the kitchen followed by Ron.

"Aw do I have to?" Harry was now sitting where the dog had been a few seconds ago.

Ginny took a deep breath ready to vent her anger on the boy who disappeared and found herself engulfed in a group hug.

"You don't know how hard it was leaving you out of it!" All three said in unison.

"You planned this didn't you?" she asked when they all let go.

"Well, sort of." Harry replied grinning.

"We wanted to all scare you," Ron explained, "but Harry got here first."

Draco Malfoy was normally cleaner and much more confident than he appeared as he sat in a pub in Scotland sipping the fire whiskey he bought with the last of his money. Draco was on the run, from the Minstry and Voldemort. As much as he hated it he needed help. Since Dumbledore was dead and he was not welcomed anywhere else he was traveling to the last known place Harry Potter had been seen according to his informant.

"Another one kid?" the bar tender asked taking his empty glass and starting to clean it.

"No." Draco simply replied and hitched his traveling pack up further on his shoulder.

The bar tender watched Draco leave the pub and went into the back room where he turned into a slim woman with a heart shaped face and pink spiky hair. The woman looked in the corner at the unconscious bar tender, then pulled out her wand and sent a large silvery wolf out the door before sitting down comfortably to wait for an answer.

She didn't have long to wait for a sharp crack was heard and an man appeared wearing a black traveling cloak. His eyes roamed the room checking for something before he took a seat next to the woman.

"Tonks, what did I say about knocking out people?" the man asked looking disapprovingly at the unconscious bar tender.

"It was the only way to monitor the bar without arousing suspicion, Remus." Tonks replied.

"Well is it him?" Remus asked anxiously.

"No not him but it was my little cousin." Tonks replied looking very sad she had not found Harry.

"Well good enough." Remus said and started to walk out the door.

"You don't know which way he went." Tonks said and followed him.

"Duck!" Harry yelled as a curse zoomed over his head.

Ginny didn't think she would be joining Harry against Voldemort just yet since she had just arrived but here she was only having arrived a week ago and already risking her neck.

The abandoned orphanage they were in was supposed to hold something very important that Harry needed. Ginny had been told the story of Voldemort's life in a simplified version and was quickly briefed about the Horcruxes. After Hermione said she couldn't think of a place Voldemort could have hidden the other Horcruxes, Ginny had quickly put two and two together. She figured that Voldemort was hiding them in places that had an influence over his childhood.

They all walked down the hallway avoiding anything else that would set off the curses left by Voldemort. Harry stopped in front of a door and pushed it open. The hallway was filled with a greenish light that was momentarily block by Harry going through the door his wand pointed at the source of the light.

Hermione pushed past Harry and approached a table with a mouth organ floating over it. The organ seemed to be floating inside a pillar of green sickly light.

"This is it." Harry said and walked around to the other side of the table. Ginny and Ron followed standing on opposite sides to each other.

"What now?" Ron asked staring at the mouth organ.

"Well, I guess I'll try to grab it." Harry said and extended his left hand toward the organ.

"Wait!" Ginny said and picked up a splinter off the floor. "It could be dangerous." she explained and threw the splinter at the mouth organ. The splinter hit the column of light and passed through it unharmed.

Harry thanked Ginny for thinking of it and plunged his left hand into the green light. Nothing happened for a minute until Harry closed his hand around the mouth organ. The column of light turned red and Harry gritted his teeth as he tried to remove his hand. It was stuck.

"Ok, someone help?" Harry said still trying to pulled out his hand. Ginny grabbed his arm and pulled followed by Ron. After several minutes Harry's hand hadn't moved a centimeter and he finally gave up on it to rest.

"Wait." Hermione said and stuck her hand inside the red light. She stared as she removed her hand as easily as she inserted it. She put it in again and grabbed the mouth organ from Harry. She pulled and the mouth organ came out and fell on the table. The light disappeared freeing Harry just as a crash was heard from the basement.

"Inferi?" Ginny asked helping Hermione to wrap up the mouth organ.

"More than likely." Harry said and led them to the front door which they found to be locked tight.

"Alohamora!" Ron said and tugged at the door. "Well it was worth a try."

A louder crash was heard and a hand burst through the kitchen door.

"Gather round!" Harry yelled and started to cast a spell just as the Inferi burst through the kitchen door.

A ring of fire formed around them as they tried to break down the door with no luck.

"We have to get out!" Ginny said panicking.

Harry watched as the Inferi backed away from the fire back into the kitchen and he grabbed Hermione's shoulder.

"Apparate?" Harry asked and clutched his left hand to his chest.

Hermione grabbed Ron and Ginny's shoulders and they all apparated out.
