Chapter 7

When Ginny could see clear again, she noticed that she was standing in the middle of a square. In front of her was a huge church. The weather was nice and warm and she could see people bustling around. She looked to her right and saw Pansy and Blaise coming towards her.

"Sienna" Pansy said.

"Lovely town, this time of year" Blaise commented.

"Very funny guys" Ginny said. The three of the grinned.

"Now that you've got me here" Ginny said. "What's the plan for today?"

"Oh no" Pansy said, shaking her head.

"What?"

"You're not going to spend the day with us, dressed like that" Pansy replied.

"Yeah! You're (aside from Narcissa) the richest woman in the whole world and you're wearing that?" Blaise remarked.

Ginny looked down to her jumper and faded jeans.

"That money is from Draco" Ginny said.

Pansy an Blaise looked at each other.

"Why are you speaking about him like..." Pansy started.

"Like he's still alive" Blaise finished.

There was an awkward silence. Ginny thought about her answer. To tell them...or not to tell them.

"My mistake...hard to get used to..." Ginny hated lying, but she didn't want to ruin the day and that would certainly happen if they didn't believe her. So she'd tell them aboutit a bit later. Ginny hoped that they were going to believe her.

Pansy and Blaise took Ginny out for a day of fun. Shopping (but only for a while, because Blaise couldn't hold out too long) A great lunch, a walk through the city, looking at some artists that were around, a tour bus that drove them through a pretty big part of Italy and they were just having fun.

Ginny did have fun...she really did, but without Draco, she could never be...really happy. When they decided to have dinner, they looked up a nice restaurant. Pansy and Ginny dropped their shopping bags and they all sat around a little table. They all began looking through the menu's.

Okay Gin...now's the perfect time to tell them of Draco

"The 'Bistecca alla Fiorentina' sounds good" Blaise said. (hell...I hope I spelled it right)

"Yeah and- " Pansy started, but she didn't got to finish it.

"I have to tell you something" Ginny blurted out. Real smooth...

"What?" Pansy said, eyebrow raised.

"Well...it's about Draco...you see...I don't think he's really gone, because.."

"Ginevra" Blaise said, addressing her with her full name and serious facial expression. "We are devastated too, you know" He indicated to Pansy with his hand. "Not a moment goes by without us wishing that Draco was here"

"I know and I have found out that-" Again Ginny was cut off, by Pansy this time.

"We know, but you have to face it…he's gone"

"You don't understand, now listen to me!" Ginny said furious. She opened her mouth again, but then she heard screaming.

"It's coming from outside" Blaise said, jumping up. The three of them grabbed their wands, but held them out of sight. (there were muggles everywhere)

They ran outside. They heared that all the noise came from the square where they had first arrived. They headed out there and Ginny saw that the church was on fire and something else too.

Death Eaters! Ginny's first instinct said. But then...she saw that they were different. They were no longer wearing their heavy cloak, but black pants and shirts. The only thing that wasintact was the mask that they were all wearing. They were shooting random curses everywhere. Ginny saw amother trying to protect her child, but got hit by a VERY painful curse. The little daughter looked at her mother in horror as she saw her twitching and screaming in pain.

Pansy started shooting spells and Ginny and Blaise followed her example soon after. Difference is, Ginny didn't use her wand. Anger once again fueled her up. Were those people never going to give up?

She waved her hand to the right and Death Eaters went flying. Waving to the left, stunning spells went out, but only hit two of the intended five Death Eaters. She ducked for a curse that was sent towards her.

Muggles were screaming everywhere. Then the Italian Aurors appeared. Ginny could hear the leader of them say: "Ottengali immediatamente tutti" ((Get them all, immediately)) The aurors scrambled around trying to round up all the Death Eaters. Muggles were still running from all different places and Ginny could see some of them lying on the ground...not moving. She didn't even know if they were really dead or unconscious or something.

A crack was heard and in the middle was another Death Eater. Though he was different. He was the only one of them that actually WAS wearing a cloak. Even from meters away Ginny saw that it was made of fine silk. Power was radiating from this person. He turned around, facing Ginny, Pansy and Blaise. He began walking towards them, his face was covered by the hood of the cloak.

"I smell trouble" Blaise whispered to Ginny.

The Leader of the Aurors stepped in front of him.

"Dia in su" ((Give up))

The Death Eater didn't even reply, right before he cursed the auror. He went limp...falling to the ground with his eyes closed.

Ginny held out her hand.

"Fregos!" She said, attempting to blow the person away...literally. A blue orb sped away from her, heading to the Death Eater at top speed. A meter before it was supposed to hit, the orb disintegrated.

Ginny stared in disbelief. That spell was powerful, not many could have survived it, let alone defended themselves against it. It was from the book that Draco and her had stolen from the Department of Mysteries to look up the Comprendiex spell.

The man reached to his hood and pulled it of, revealing someone Ginny had NOT expected.

Ow! A cliffy! Enjoyed the chapter? Review!
