Chapter 1 A Turn of Events
(Ginny's POV)
"Ginny! Come down for dinner!" My mother called from the stairs.
No screaming could be heard from Sirius' mum's portrait because Remus took it down. It's finally okay for someone to scream or trip over something in Tonks' case. I took a moment of the silence in the room and looking at all the different things in the room before standing up and going downstairs.
Almost everyone was there. My brothers Charlie, Percy, who I have yet to forgive, the infamous twins Fred and George, and of course, Bill. Bill looks completely different now since that werewolf attacked him. It's really interesting to watch Bill when he is in "werewolf mode", as I like to call it. It's not that he will turn into a werewolf but he will have wolfish qualities. He won't really turn into a werewolf since Greyback, the werewolf that attacked Bill, wasn't a werewolf that day. Remus, Tonks, Professor McGonagall, mum, dad, and some aurors that I'm not familiar with were also there.
That day was going to be memorable throughout everyone's life that was there. That was when Phlegm, or Fleur, confessed that she didn't care about Bill's looks and she will still love him no matter what. I guess we were really wrong about Fleur only liking Bill for his good looks. They are happily married now. Mum broke down crying more than Fleur did at their wedding. That was also when Dumbledore died and had a lament. When we found out that Snape killed him. So many memories…
I sat down and was filled with many greetings of hellos and good evenings from everyone at the table. I filled my plate with food and ate quietly while everyone was chatting about various topics. I overheard Tonks and Remus talking about their wedding plans to my mum and dad. They sounded really excited. I mean who wouldn't be?
I finished my food and stood up.
"Mum, can I go outside for a bit," I asked her, almost pleading.
After Dumbledore died, my mum has been really protective of me. She is one of the reasons on why I'm still staying at Grimmauld.
"I don't think so dear. It's very dangerous to go out there alone at night," she said with finality in her voice.
"Mum! I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself!"
"You are not of age yet. You cannot use magic outside of school."
"Mum, Death Eaters won't come here. I will just be out by the swings (A/N: Are there swings near Grimmauld?). Please, I really need some fresh air."
"Let her go Molly. I can keep watch of her," Remus said.
"Okay, now you put it that way, I will let her go."
"Thanks mum," I replied happily.
Remus and I headed out the door after Remus was done with his food.
"Thanks Remus for convincing my mum to let me go outside. God, she sounds like I have already been kidnapped by Death Eaters," I said while sitting on a bench.
"No problem Ginny. So how are you coping so far? You must miss the burrow."
"I do, but it's great here. It's just the memories of Sirius that get to me sometimes."
"I know what you mean."
"Yeah. You must miss him more than anyone of us."
"Yes, he may have gotten in a lot of trouble in the school days but he was a really great guy. He would always go and prank Slytherins with James, Harry's father. We would sneak out at night and go to the kitchens because Sirius is always hungry. Sirius and James would always make fun of Severus many times. Good times. Good times."
A silence took over Remus and I and we just sat there staring into the darkness what the street lamps couldn't illuminate.
"So, you want to go back inside? This should be enough fresh air for you," Remus said breaking the silence.
"Can I stay out here? I just want to be alone for a little bit."
"Okay, but come back in a few minutes. I don't want your mother screaming at me for leaving you out here alone. If you don't come back I will come and get you alright?"
"Yes, sir!" I saluted and Remus laughed.
"Good."
Remus left me there to think again. My thoughts led me back to Draco Malfoy for some odd reason. I wish I were there when he almost killed Dumbledore. What I always wondered is why he didn't kill him. Why did he wait? My thoughts were interrupted when someone stunned me and I fell unconscious. The last thing I heard was Morsmordre.
(Normal POV)
Remus walked outside to get Ginny. He looks at the bench they were sitting on and finds that she isn't there. He looked up and saw the dark mark hovering in the sky. He ran back inside and stared at the people at the dinner table.
Molly was first to see this behavior and asked, "What's wrong, Remus? Where's Ginny?"
"Its Ginny. She's…gone."
A/N: Sorry for the cliffie! If I do have tenses changing, I am sorry about that. I am not very good at tenses. Please review!
