Chapter Six
Smile! It's Your Lucky Day!
It wasn't very fun to have the entire school population turn against you. Well not the entire population, just the closest people she know and care about the most. Things definitely weren't easy for Ginny. To her luck the only person willing to talk with was Hermione, at first she wanted to get an explanation from Ginny on her behavior but she quickly changed her mind and stopped trying.
"You're spending too much time in here, Ginny it's not healthy." Hermione picked up a book and gave it Ginny.
"I beg your pardon? Where is Hermione Granger and what have you done to her?" she arched an eyebrow and placed the book in its place.
"Don't be like that Ginny, I'm just concerned, you hardly ever in the common room, you eat your meals as fast as you can and after classes you rush over here." The two walked over to the next section and stocked back the books in their right place.
"That's not entirely true."
"Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the forth time this week that we spend our afternoon in the library and it's not even for studying."
"I have Quidditch practices."
"That doesn't count."
"Why not? I work hard!"
"No you don't. You do as little as possible because you don't want to stand out and talk to Harry."
"I hate it when you go all physiologic on me." Hermione smirked at Ginny and placed the last book in the shelf. "Done! We can do whatever you want Hermione."
"Actually I have to go. I promised Ron and Harry I'll help them with Charms." She really did look sorry.
"Oh that okay I'll just go outside or something."
"So you're not mad?"
"No and besides a promise is a promise."
She bid Hermione goodbye and made her way to the Entrance Hall and from there to the Hogwarts grounds.
"Watch it Ginny." Said a young boy and pushed Ginny to the ground. "I told you to watch it."
"You have a knack for me on the ground, don't you?" she helped herself up and brushed the dirt from her rare end.
"On the contrary, I would love it, if you'd get up and have some fun for a change." He smiled at her and showed her the path leading to Hogsmeade.
"Fun as in let-make-Ginny-all-miserable-and-friendless fun? Because I already did that, remember? I destroyed Harry package for you just like you told me to."
"I never told you to destroy it I asked you to keep away from him."
"You said to keep it away from him by all mean."
"I did. I was you're choice how to interpret it. You have your own free will."
"So you're basically saying that it's my entire fault and that I have to live with the consequences?"
"We do things, sometimes the hard way sometimes the easy way, were willing to except the consequences, just like I'm asking you to do."
"Well thanks to you Harry hates me and my own brother won't even look at me."
"Free will." He began walking with her. "You do know that's it dangerous these days to leave Hogwarts with no permission and go to Hogsmeade."
"Free will." She smirked at him and marched away. "And by the way, it was you that showed me the way to the village."
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you." She waved him off and walked away out of the castle gates.
Ginny walked out of Honeyduks with fair share of candies and was on her way to the bookstore down the street when she heard a blood freezing scream. All of a sudden the once always loud and full of life village became deadly silent.
"Death Eaters." Someone said. "Death Eater." Another one answered and suddenly the word speared out and fear took over.
"Death Eaters." Ginny whispered to herself and dropped the bag of goods to the ground and started shouting. "Look out for safety!" no one abide her order they were too scared and too curious in order for them to run for their lives.
"Oh My God!" yelled an aged witch and pointed at the stream of black figures. Panic took place and as the first person began to run a shot of green light came from the Death Eaters direction.
Ginny drew out her wand and began walking towards them. "Move out of my way!" she said out loud and pushed her way over. Her Gryffindor courage was on high gear and pumped in her body. As she made her way she noticed that some people just like her didn't wait for the Aurors to arrive and took charge. Her path was death eaters free but a threatening feeling increased in her stomach.
"Well look at this, the Weasley girl." She heard a feminine voice behind her. It sent chills through her spine. She slowly turned around held her wand steadily as possible. Ginny flinched as she saw her cold eyes pierce her with the need to kill. "The Dark Lord will be very pleased to know that I took the only Weasley girl in generations down."
"Over my dead body." Ginny raised her wand pointed it to Bellatrix Lestrange's heart.
"I planned it to be so." She smiled at her a menacing smile. "Not before I have some fun." Her wand was leveling Ginny's. "Crucio." Ginny fell to the ground and cried in pain, it was like a thousand hot knives stabbed her body. Her screams must have been heard by someone because unexpectedly the pain ended. "Isn't much fun is it?" Bellatrix asked and Ginny the cold sweat covering her body, she respired and her chest moved up and down fast. She looked up at Lestrange's murderous glowing face got up on her feet. "Feisty little weasel are you?" Ginny spat on her black robe as a retort. "Crucio." She muttered angrily and Ginny fell on the ground again.
"Had enough? Or would you like me to end it all at once?"
"Is it really a question?"
"No." she raised her wand again and began to mutter the curse when…
"Stupefy!" and all of a sudden Bellatrix dropped her wand and fell to the ground unconscious.
Without other words the stranger that rescued Ginny took her in his arms and started running over to an alleyway so they can hide from the death eaters. As he laid her down Ginny felt herself drifting away and getting weaker and weaker.
"Stay with me Ginny!" the stranger cried and shook her, it helped her to be a little more focused but as quickly as it came it went and she felt her body giving up. "Damnit Weasley!" and then Ginny felt a hurtful slap on her face and she got back to focus.
"You?" she panted at him and felt her eyes sting and tears began to pour. "You saved my life!" with all the power she had she wrapped her arms around him into a loving hug. "I knew you still care about me!"
"Don't get too loud we don't know if the death eaters are gone yet." He covered her mouth with his hand as he heard voices coming from the main street. There were fighting sounds, and Ginny huddled closer to him and he wrapped him arms around her. "Don't worry the Aurors are wining, those are the last death eaters here, the rest has all ready left or captured."
They waited in silence for approximately an hour when they heard the last apprating sounds and he carried her in his arms out of the alley. They walked in the smoking main street and tried to make their way through the small fires and a few bodies.
"I'll take you to the hospital wing as soon as we get to Hogwarts." He said and stroked Ginny's hair. "I'll make sure you'll be safe before I leave."
"Leave? You're not staying with me?" she looked away and noticed the cuts on her arm and on the rest of her body.
"You know I can't stay with you, Tiger, it's too risky." they reached Hogwarts gates and he ran up the path to the castle.
"Please?"
"Don't do this, Tiger." He ran through the great oak doors and up the staircase and on to the hospital wing. He found a free bed at the end of the room and walked with her unnoticed seeing that Madam Pomfry was busy with the other people that got hurt.
"Are you comfortable?" he asked lovingly much his and Ginny's surprise and smiled at her as she nodded helplessly. "I have to go, Tiger." He squeezed her shoulder and turned to walk.
"Percy!" he stopped on his track and turned back to face her. "I missed you calling me Tiger."
"I missed it too, Tiger." He walked back to her and kissed her on the forehead. "Promise me you won't tell anyone about this?" Ginny looked at him for a moment and nodded in silent agreement.
"Just remember who your favorite sister is, Percy." She smiled at him and Percy chuckled.
"You're my only sister, Ginny." She frowned at him. "But my favorite nonetheless."
Ginny smiled at him and took his hand in hers just before he'll leave. "Thank you, Percy." She kissed his cheek and let go of his hand.
"Anytime, Ginny, anytime." He whispered in her ears and walked out in fast steps…
A/N: I wanted it to Draco Malfoy at first but I had a change of heart…I promise next chapters will be sooner then this one…
