Yeah, sorry it took so long, but I got engrosed in my cd's again and was unable to write anything while I spazzed out to the rock. This one is shorter than the last one. I don't like it much, but it had to be said. The next one I assume to be more exciting. Review if you like get lost if you dont.

Disclaimer: No matter how much I may want to own it... I don't. SHIT!

Firestorm and New Arrivials:

"Ginny!"

"What?"

"Stop doing that!"

"I didn't touch you Hermione!"

"NO! Stop slamming Malfoy into the wall!"

"He deserves it."

Hermione and Ginny argued about abusing Malfoy all the way up the basement stairs (Harry and Ron were in front of them discussing Ron sudden outburst of genius). Ginny levitated Malfoy into the sitting room. Grinning at Hermione, she let Malfoy crash to the floor at Snape's feet.

"What's Malfoy doing here?" Snape demanded as he struggled against his bonds.

"Well it looks like your favorite student was trying to do us all in," Ron sneered. "You included."

"Now we have some questions for you." Harry said coldly as Snape continued to stare confusedly at them . "Ron, would you care to help me?"

Ron stepped forward and pointed his wand at a large hole in Snape's robes right above his elbow. "Ready."

"Tell me what-" Harry pulled Ravenclaw's pendant out of his back pocket, "this is. Is it a horcrux?"

Snape pressed his lips together. He obviously was planning to give them a hard time. Harry scowled for a moment at that pale face. How much he loathed him. He took pleasure to look up at Ron and give him the signal.

"INCENDIO!" Ron said forcefully.

Snape's right arm began to smolder. He narrowed his eyes up at Harry and Harry glared back. Snape knew that Harry wouldn't stop the fire until he talked, but he would just have to let his arm burn. Snape was not talking.

"Aguamenti" Harry sighed after 30 seconds of this and extinguished the fire. That wasn't working anymore.

Ginny leaned to whisper to Harry. "Let me handle it."

She stepped in front of Snape and glared at him for a moment. The rage coming from Ginny was slightly alarming. Harry and Ron slowly backed away in fear of being injured. She pulled her wand out, but didn't point it towards him. Instead she aimed it at one of his many bookshelves.

"Talk or I'll destroy them." She said barely above a whisper. There was a startling glint in her eyes, somewhere between rage and amusement. Harry could tell why she was amused though. As she mentioned burning his books, Snape gasped in horror. Those books were probably worth thousands of Galleons and were Prince family heirlooms.

"You wouldn't?" Snape pleaded.

"You don't think so? Well all those times you put me in detention might have caused all these ill feeling I have towards you, or maybe it's the fact you murdered Professor Dumbledore."

Snape's face was paper white. His loyalty to Voldermort and his love for books seemed to be fighting against each other. It looked as though his master was winning.

"Well?" Ginny asked fingering her wand.

Snape said nothing. He did however grunt a few times as if make sure he wouldn't say anything.

Ginny flicked her wand at the shelf closest to them. Harry was astonished to see it burst into flame just as Dumbledore had done to Riddle's wardrobe when they had first met.

Snape let out a shrill cry as he watched his beloved novels go up in flame. "NO! Stop, stop please!"

Ginny lifted her wand and stared down at Snape. "Will you talk?"

"No."

The books burn again.

"OK, OK! Give me a minute!"

Ginny turned to face him leaving the bookcase to smoke. She grinned at the amazed Harry and Ron and the whimpering Hermione. Hermione seemed revolted that Ginny would do such a thing to books.

She rushed over to examine the damage Ginny had caused.

"Now will you tell us what the pendant is?" Harry asked as Ron continued to gape at Ginny.

Before Snape was able to say anything, Harry heard a gasp, a painful clunk, and a low moan.

He spun around just in time to see Ron give Malfoy another kick in the ribs. Malfoy groaned in agony. Ron's powerful kicks had to have broken a rib or two.

Harry knew it must be awfully hurtful, but as Ginny had said earlier, 'He deserved it'. He had not forgotten how Malfoy had broken his nose the previous summer.

"Nice of you to join us you brainless git." Ron said with another kick at Malfoy as he tried to sit up. The kick made contact with his head and he collapsed on the floor once again.

"That's enough." Hermione snapped looking over at Malfoy's now lifeless body. The kick in the head must have knocked him out again.

Ron seemed to find it hard to not kick his vulnerable enemy. However, he mastered his feelings and reluctantly turned to face Snape.

"Ok. Let's try this again." Harry fumed as he also faced Snape.

CRACK! Once again Harry swung himself around to see the source of the disturbance. He caught a glimpse of a pale-faced witch with lengthy silver blonde hair a split second before Hermione sent her into the wall.

"What are all these wizards doing here?" Harry yelled as he swept over to meet the new arrival.
