Chapter 11: The bodies

Ron stiffened, Charlie gasped like a fish out of water, Bill let out a startled cry, but the twins were smirking.

"We thought you deserved a little punishment for forgetting about her. She's fine… asleep, but fine," George said.

There were several moments in which Ron tussled with the twins, Hermione's eyes were still wide with shock, and Charlie and Bill scowled, but it settled down rather quickly.

"We need to carry Ginny and Harry outside then apparate with them pack to headquarters," Charlie advised.

"What do we do with the Death Eaters?" Hermione asked. "And what about that prophecy? Did you guys notice how once Snape made that prophecy our curses hit them and they didn't even try to block them… maybe they were in shock?"

"Yeah… maybe…" Bill said, he was obviously thinking hard. "Do you remember what the prophecy said Ron?"

"Yeah, actually, I do. I didn't understand it but it said…" Ron closed his eyes concentrating hard. " 'The followers of the Dark Lord will be punished, they shall not escape again. Forceful winds will make sure everything is done right. The rightful fighters and workers shall be rewarded beyond their dreams. The balance will be restored, evil will be gone from the world.' "

"How did you do that," Fred asked. "You just remembered all of it… just like that."

"It has to do with prophecies. Harry said that when Professor Trelawney made that prophecy to Dumbledore, he remembered it all also." Hermione said. Her eyes were bright with excitement. "We need to decipher it! If we find out what it means then we can work it… most of it made since, but what was that about 'forceful winds'?"

Fred and George sniggered at the mention of 'forceful winds', but did not say anything.

"We're not going to work on it here or now," Charlie said sternly. "We have to get to the headquarters and do something with the Death Eaters. I suggest contacting the Ministry to come and get them and put them in Azkaban… the stunning spells should last a couple hours more."

So that's exactly what they did. Fred found some parchment and a quill in a desk in the next room over. Charlie wrote the letter and put it on the desk. Tapping it with his wand the letter disappeared.

"How will they find the place?" Ron asked.

"The Indagio spell, the tracking spell. I placed one on the letter and they can trace back to where the letter was sent. I told them in the letter," Charlie explained. "Now let's get Harry and Ginny back to headquarters."
