Chapter 10

If looks could kill...Harry Potter would be six feet under at the moment.

"Do you have ANY idea how much trouble you're causing me!" She ranted. Ron's temper also rised.

"Harry, why the hell did you do that!" He yelled.

"Yeah, Harry!" Ginny said, agreeing with Ron. "No offence, but you're not strong or smart enough to help me!" (of course, the implied: no offence, means OFFENCE)

Ron looked at Ginny, but turned back to Harry. "Actually I meant, why haven't you shown me how to do it?"

Hermione pinched Ron. "Ron!"

"What 'mione?" He snapped. Hermione rolled her eyes. He was the thickest person she'd ever seen!

"Ron! It's not right to do a spell like that! And Harry, you know that Ginny is more powerful then us and that you would be causing more trouble then actually helping"

Harry still remained silent and looked at Ginny. Ginny turned to Hermione.

"I always knew you were the smart one of the three" She said gratefully.

"Ginny?" She heard Blaise say. She turned to Pansy and Blaise who were standing in the corner. Pansy walked over, together with Blaise. Both of them hugged her tight.

"Bring Draco back safely, Gin" Blaise said. Pansy could only nod. Ginny smiled back a little.

She grabbed her bag that had filled itself with the items, she would need. Holding her hand out, her broom flew to her hand.

"Wait Ginny!" Harry said, speaking for the first time. "I'll go and get my broom and some stuff"

"You do that" Ginny sneered, while getting on her broom. "See you in three hours" And with that, she flew of. Despite her being REALLY annoyed at Harry, she couldn't help but grin. Her, flying off like that was REALLY going to annoy him.

"Serves him right" She muttered. She flew for a few miles and then stopped, hovering in the air. Next item on the agenda for today: What the hell was she going to do now? She took her time trying to lessen the chaos in her head.

Okay...so Lucius Malfoy is the new Dark Lord and is out to get me;
I suspect that the enchanted Rose that I have is some sort of an equivalent to a portkey to the Otherworld;
I ran away from Home to find Draco;
Stupid Boy-who-signed-his-death-sentence is coming in three hours;
I have no idea on what to do now...

Any less chaos yet?...No don't tell me the answer...I don't wanna know...

After a few more minutes thinking, she decided to find an inn or something, so she could think quietly on how to go about all this chaos. After flying for about an hour, she arrived in the nearest wizarding village. She put on a cloak with a hood low enough to cover her face. It wouldn't do her any good if she was recognized. People were still celebrating the death of Voldemort and Ginny had no doubt that someone would recognize her, should she go without a disguise of some sort. In a public floo-fireplace, she flooed to The Leaky Cauldron. She quietly requested a room of Tom the bartender. Showing her face only to Tom, the old man gave her his best room, free of charge. Ginny was very grateful for that and asked him if he wouldn't tell anyone that he'd seen her. Tom agreed.

As Ginny walked to her room, she saw happy people talking and laughing with each other. Probably all of them thinking that everything would be great now that little old Voldy was dead. She knew that wouldn't last long. Tomorrow the Death Eater attack in Italy would be all over the papers and the mood would lessen a bit, she supposed. With a grim face, she entered her room.

Tom had really given her his finest room. It was large and lavishly furnished. She stood in her living room. She dropped her bags and after giving herself a tour, she concluded that it contained two bedrooms, one BEAUTIFUL bathroom, a large kitchen and a study. All rooms were beautifully decorated, but Ginny liked the bathroom the most. Having spent her own bathroom (at the Burrow) with six older brothers, wasn't fun.

Sitting down one of the couches, she pulled out the enchanted Rose and inspected it carefully. The color wasn't like any rose she'd ever seen and it was truly exquisite. She remembered Rosie saying something that these roses were rare in this world and that she wasn't sure if they existed in here anymore. So Ginny made up her mind. If Rosie said that...then it must've existed here (or maybe still does) at some point. Who could she contact that knew a lot about plants. She couldn't go to Professor Sprout as Ginny and her didn't like each other much. Ginny never knew why though...so she would go to her best student number one!

You know who he is...

Neville Longbottom! She remembered him backing the Gryffindors when they banned her from the Common Room until Curfew and for that she was still mad at him. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Step number two: Where the hell does Neville live? Ginny knew that he lived with his Grandmother (Merlin only knows that he's always talking about the old woman)

Maybe Harry knew?

Okay...so maybe the boy had ONE use...she'll just have to wait until he arrived. She checked her watch and noticed that it an hour and a half had passed since her departure. She decided to have a shower and then whip up some food.

--> Back to the Burrow!

After they had all seen Ginny fly off like that, Ron began to mutter incoherently, Hermione's jaw hit the ground, Blaise and Pansy left quietly and Harry looked annoyed. The (now alone) Trio looked at each other in silence. They could hear Molly weasley say goodbye to Blaise and Pansy. Then Molly's voice rang upstairs.

"RON, GINNY, HERMIONE, HARRY!" She screeched. "TEA!"

"What are we going to tell her?" Hermione asked the boys. Ron didn't even appear to hear her, because he was busy glaring at Harry.

"Why haven't you told me about that spell and why are you so insisting on going with MY baby-sister"

Harry...never the one to yell, but also he could have a temper. "I want to help, maybe even a little bit, to fight against the people who support the murderer of MY parents" He yelled back.

Ron's face softened a little. "Okay...so no problem...after the three hours are gone, you'll be transported to Ginny's location and send us an owl to let me and 'mione know where you two are so we can come too" He reasoned, looking insanely proud of himself.

Harry shook his head. "No Ron, I won't take you with me"

Ron started to get angry again. "WHY NOT!" he shrieked.

Harry didn't answer (annoying little git), but turned to walk downstairs. Hermione and Ron followed, with Ron red as a...red...thing. (I can't think of anything red! I'm colorblind!...wait...as red as the apple that Snow White ate when the old hag offered her one...yeah...that's about right)

When they arrived downstairs, they saw that Molly had already set 5 steaming mugs down, filled with tea. She looked up.

"Be a dear Hermione and fetch Ginny for me..."

Hermione looked panicked. What should she say.

"We can't Mrs. Weasley" Harry answered for her.

Molly still didn't suspect anything.

"How many times have I told you to call me Molly, Harry dear" She said, lovingly. "And what do you mean you can't? Is she in the bathroom?"

Hermione looked down and Harry fidgeted.

"To hell with all" Ron said, throwing his hands up in defeat. Molly looked astonished. "Ron!" She scolded.

"We can't get Ginny, because she ran away to find that Draco Malfoy back, because she believes that he is still alive and...for all I know...she's mad" he ranted.

Molly said nothing at first and then burst into tears. "My baby" she said. Hermione threw Ron a scornful look. He had the decency to look ashamed. Molly left soon after. She flooed to the Ministry of Magic to tell Arthur of Ginny's disappearance. She left Ron, Harry and Hermione alone.

Ron stormed away to his room. Mad as he was. Hermione said nothing and went to get her mug of tea, sipping it slowly. Harry went upstairs too, to start packing. He entered Ron's room. Ron was pretending to be reading a book. He looked like he was really interested in what he was reading, but Harry knew he was not reading anything. (He knew that for a fact that Ron was holding his book upside down)

Harry packed everything he needed. He showered and ate a little bit. Soon enough…three hours had ALMOST passed. He went to see Ron in his room. He had put down his book away and was openly glaring at Harry.

"I hope that someday you'll understand" he said. Downstairs, Harry hugged Hermione. "I hope to see you soon"

"Be safe" was her reply. He stepped back as he felt magic surging through his body. He was whipped away from the Burrow and before he knew it, he was standing in a large room, with Ginny eating some pancakes on the table.

--> Ginny P.O.V.

She saw Harry appear in front of her.

"Took you long enough"

"Hello to you too" He snapped, annoyed.

"I imagine that you and Ron had a bit of a...fight? Not concerning me I hope?" Ginny smirked, she knew her brother.

Harry scowled.

"Longbottom" Ginny said.

Harry glared at Ginny. "My arse is not THAT big! And insulting is rude you know" he huffed.

Ginny rolled her eyes...what a Drama Queen.

"I meant NEVILLE Longbottom...do you know where he lives?"
