Dislcaimer: MOAHAHA! I finally have JK Rowling's hair for my potion. Drops it inside. Begins to melt.
OH NO I FORGOT THE EYE OF NEWT… IM MELTING, IM MELTING… (mom comes and prods with stick) twitches
A small shadow, crouched low to the ground made its way towards Hogwarts Castle. It flicked its wand, and immediately a loud screaming noise was made, inhuman and terrifying. The shadow's face smirked under a large black hood.
"Do you have him?" It hissed to another shadow, beside him. The other robed person nodded, and smiled, lifting up a round eyed red headed boy. He squirmed, and tried to scream, but his mouth piece muffled his cries.
"Say goodbye, Weasley," A cold voice droned, and there was a flash of green light. The boy went limp, and he was dropped to the ground. They broke a small piece of wood and dropped it beside him, slicing his chest.
"Leave him for the thestrals, and cast the mark. I'm going to signal the others." The first robed person said, and the second one, a female, whispered a quick incantation and above the forest a skull with a snake appeared. The female disappeared into the forest as the male slunk towards the castle. He screeched a cry, and hundreds of other robed people ran behind him. One by one they cast spells at the large wooden door to the castle, causing it to cave despite its powerful security.
"THE WAR HAD BEGUN!" The leading man screamed, and the deatheaters charged into the castle.
"Harry! Harry, wake up, the deatheaters have arrived! There here, Harry, you need to wake up!" Hermione Granger shook her friend desperately, and he sat up, wiping the sleep from his eyes, throwing on a robe and some battle clothes. He grabbed his wand, and ran out of the door, racing down the stairs strait into Ginny, while Hermione woke the other boys.
"Harry, hurry – go!" Ginny screamed, tears pouring down her face, giving Harry a good push.
"Harry!" Hermione cried, running down the stairs, "I can't find Ron!" Harry stopped- his face like a sheet.
"GO HARRY, GO!" Ginny screamed, "I'll find Ron, go!" Harry ran, faster than he'd ever run before, and made his way to the great hall. Ginny ran up the boy's staircase, and looked for her brother herself. He wasn't there. She was about to run down when she saw something silvery hanging out of Harry's trunk. It was his invisibility cloak. She grabbed it, along with the marauder's map. She would have to use them herself. She ran downstairs and the common room was deserted. Suddenly a loud boom sounded and the walls shook. She needed to get out of the castle, now.
Running down the halls she felt dizzy, nauseous, tired, she didn't even stop to vomit, she just looked to the left and let it fall onto the floor, running still. Eventually she reached the front door, but was pulled aside by someone. A stern looking, thin lipped person.
"Miss Weasley," Professor McGonagall said, "We are going to loose this war. So I need your help." Ginny was stunned. How could she help?
"We were originally going to get Miss Granger to do this – but… due to recent happenings…" Ginny looked confused, and Professor McGonagall continued.
"I need you to go back in time. Back to the time of Tom Marvolo Riddle. Ginevera – the fate of the wizarding world lays in your hands. If you can go back, and convince Tom that he should not do this- Not become Voldemort- things just might go better. Your brother would be alive today. Ginny's eyes filled with tears. Her brother?
"W-which one?" She asked, her voice quavering.
"Ronald." The Professor said, her eyes downcast.
"I'll do it." Ginny said, not thinking strait. "I'll go." Her eyes burned, and she choked on a sob.
"You may never come back to this time, Miss Weasley," Professor McGonagall said quietly, "You may never find your way back. And if by one absurd reasoning you do… Everything may be different. The people you know may be changed…" Ginny nodded, trying not to think about it too much.
"I'll do it, Professor," She said, wiping away big tears. "But if I chicken out at the last minute – do me a favor… and send me anyways." The Professor nodded again.
"There will be no time to pack." She said, "You must leave immediately. As we speak our numbers are evaporating – students and teachers alike are being slain. Put your wand in your spell casting hand- Yes, now repeat after me." Ginny nodded, clutching the map, and putting the invisibility cloak over herself.
"Sith ad pa marnoenke,"
"Sith ad pa marnoenke,"
"Ekat em Ckab nock noresest,"
"Ekat em Ckab nock noresest,"
"Hogwarts, Tom Riddle's seventh year,"
"Hogwarts, Tom Riddle's seventh year,"
"Abashk! Mineosette!"
"Abashk! Mineosette!"
There was a flash of golden light, and Ginny Weasley disappeared, a hind of fluttering gold left in the wind.
"May Merlin be with her," Minerva McGonagall said quietly. A moment later the front door burst open, and in strode a masked and cloaked man.
"Goodbye Minerva." He said in a cold voice, and in a flash of green Minerva's life was swept away.
