Blond hair...
Piercing eyes, boring into her own...
Lucius Malfoy was standing there in all his glory. After Ginny heard Ares say that her made a pact with Voldemort, saying that if Voldemort would lose then Ares would get the soul of a few of his Death Eaters. She figured that since Lucius was in Voldemort's inner circle, that he was the one losing his soul too.
"We meet again, Miss Weasley"
"I would say: what a pleasure, but my manners say that I shouldn't lie"
"Are you enjoying your day out, Ginevra?" He said, stepping aside to give Ginny more view of the destruction that the (weird) Death Eaters were causing. She could see a Death Eater torture a young boy and many others were doing horrible things to the muggles. Auror were helping, but they were outnumbered. Ginny knows that
"I believe that I have not given you permission to call me by my first name, Malfoy" Ginny turned to Pansy and Blaise. "Help them, I'll take Lucius"
Blaise stepped sideways to duck a curse coming from Lucius.
"Ah ah ah" He said, shaking his head. "Don't want to miss the REAL fun, don't you?" He said mockingly.
"Enough with the small talk! Why are you here? Why isn't you soul on it's way to Ares and why am I the one to have to do it now?" Ginny wanted to handle this quickly so that she could help the other aurors and the muggles.
His smirk grew wider.
"Yes, I thought that you might think that...despite everything, Voldemort believed that there was a small chance that he might lose"
"Yeah...so" Ginny said, not understanding.
"He wanted to be sure that someone could take over, should he die"
"And that's you!" Pansy snapped.
Lucius turned his attention to her. "Why aren't you the smart little girl" he said sarcastically.
he continued. "This...is just a warning. To let you know that a new leader has come, new and very much improved. So watch your back Ginevra" With that, Lucius seemed to disappear. Not apparating, but something like fading slowly until you could only see his malicious eyes.
"See you soon" was the last thing they heard before the eyes too had disappeared. Numerous cracks were hear signaling that all the Death Eaters had apparated away. Immediately Pansy, Blaise and Ginny went to the muggles that were lying on the hard stone floor of Sienna. They began healing them. The aurors (that were able to) got up and began helping everyone. Soon medi-witches came into view and a team of the Ministery of Magic, ready to wipe out as many memories as they can about the incident.
Ginny was helping a little boy and was covered in blood from the gash that he had when a medi-witch joined her.
"Oh Sweet Merlin, what have they done to you boy" She said, looking at the muggle. When the medi-with looked up to look at Ginny, her eyes widened.
"Y-you are the girl...t-that defeated YOU-KNOW-WHO!" She said. Ginny stood up and looked around. Many people had stopped and looked at her when you-know-who was mentioned. Suddenly the magical people began recognizing her as one of the defeaters of Voldemort.
"It's Miss Weasley!" one of them yelled.
"Continue helping!" Ginny shouted. Blaise and Pansy had joined her side as soon as they saw what happened. They were all three touching the toothbrush and suddenly Ginny felt a jerk. They fell right back onto the floor of the Burrow.
Nobody was in the living room at the moment, but the voice of Ginny's mother rang out of the kitchen.
"Ginny? Pansy? Blaise? Is that you? I thought you would be gone all day?" she yelled.
"Um...something came up" Blaise replied loudly. Pansy nudged him in the side.
"Smooth Blaise"
"Come on...let's go upstairs and fresh up...I hope we won't bump into the others" Ginny said as she turned towards the door. It was then that she noticed it was too late to bump into the others. The others had just come through the door, seeing them covered in blood and dirt. Hermione shrieked!
"Shhh!" Ginny shushed, but it was too late for them too be silent either. Molly had come to see what all the fuss was about and shrieked also.
"Oh my gosh, what happened to you? Are you hurt?" She began fussing over them.
"We're going to freshen up, why don't you...make some tea to make us feel a bit calmer" Ginny hoped that her mother would raise to the bait. Molly's eyes lightened at the thought of bringing comfort with her te. She had made sure that none of them were deathly hurt and hurried of to the kitchen.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"not now, Harry" She sighed. The three of them went upstairs and each took a shower, using magic to clean their clothes. Once they were all clean, they retreated to Ginny's room.
"I can't do this guys!"
"What do you mean, Gin?"
Ginny began pacing while muttering to them.
"Nobody understands..." She looked up and faced them.
"I know for certain that Draco is still alive somewhere and I KNOW that he is waiting for me to come and help him. I've tried to go on with my life, being home and all, but every time I do something to get closer to helping Draco 'they' question me" Ginny said pointing at the door. Pansy and Blaise understood that she meant the Weasley's and Harry and Hermione.
"And then today, I try talking to you, thinking that you two of all people would understand. But you don't...you don't...and I don't need people not getting me, so I'm going to do something"
She held out her hand and various things happened. A weekend-bag flew out of the closet and began filling with various clothes (the rose was packed too of course) and different things like books, parchments etc.
"You're leaving?" Pansy said, astonished.
"NO!" They heard coming from behind Ginny's door and before they knew it Harry, Ron and Hermione were inside.
"You can't just leave! Mum would be devastated" Ron said immediately, not even apologizing for eavesdropping.
"I know, but it's not going to be for forever"
"You're more vulnerable out there Ginny, I'm sure there are still remaining Death Eaters wanting to kill you for what you did to their master" Hermione reasoned.
"Lucius Malfoy is their new leader, the Death Eaters are new and improved and yes, they want to kill me" Ginny said, giving the trio an update.
Three jaws hit the ground.
"And I'll be fine"
Harry spoke up for the first time ever. "I'm going with you"
"what!" Ginny blurted out before she could stop herself. Everyone looked at Harry.
"I know that I didn't bring Voldemort down and all and I know that I'm not the main target of Lucius Malfoy, because he's after you, but I still want to fight them all for what they did to my parents...and everyone" He said, quietly.
"Harry...I understand where you're coming from, but I can't really just take someone with me"
Ginny was caught so totally of guard...she really hadn't suspected...Harry had his wand out in a second and a bright flash surrounded him and Ginny as he said something inaudible.
"What did you do Harry?" Ron said, getting confused at his mate's actions.
"That...was a complex spell" Hermione said.
"Yes...the bound-charm...it bounds two people to each other and so…one can't leave another for longer then three hours. If one would leave...the other person would automatically be transported to their location" Harry explained, all the while looking at Ginny.
Ginny stood there shocked. He had done WHAT?
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT, YOU IDIOT!" Ginny blew up. Harry didn't seem fazed.
"I'm going with you whether you like it or not..." he said calmly.
Even though Ginny didn't want to admit it...there was no way around it...Harry was coming with her.
Review please people!
