Chapter Eight

June woke up in a cell. Bars guarded her way out. The cell smelled like rats, and water was seeping through holes in the walls.

June sat up, and winced as a shot of pain ran through her. June felt her head, it was still bleeding.

The cell doors opened, and a figure walked in. He was hooded and cloaked in black.

"What do you want?" Snapped June. The figure didn't answer. He just walked towards her.

"What do you want!" Repeated June.

"The Dark Lord wants to see you." Replied the figure.

"Well, I don't want to see him!" June glared at the figure. Before, June could do anything. The figure had picked her up, and flipped her over his back, and started walking.

"Wh-what are you doing! Put me down!" Screamed June. She banged her fists on his back, but he didn't set her down. June screamed all the way to the throne room.

Finally, the Death Eater set her down. She looked over at the throne and saw Voldemort sitting there, looking amused.

"Hello June Evans." Sneered Voldemort.

"What do you want?" Questioned June.

"I want… your brother…"

"My brother?" Voldemort smiled.

"Yes. I believe you found out about him, before I attacked you." June just stared at Voldemort.

"I believe his name is Harry Potter." Said Voldemort, his lips forming into a smile.

"I...How…?" Stuttered June. Voldemort sneered at June.

"I'm done here." Said Voldemort, addressing a Death Eater. "Take her away." The Death Eater walked over to her and picked her up, and carried her out of the room.

Harry woke up with a blasted headache. He took deep breathes in and out. Harry couldn't remember much of yesterday, it was all a blur. Harry rubbed his eyes, and then looked around.

He was at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. Sirius was sitting by his bed, his head lying on the sheets.

"Sirius? Sirius!" Called Harry. Sirius woke up and looked at Harry.

"H-Harry?"

"Hi!" Smiled Harry. Harry's voice was scratchy. Harry stretched his arms out, and gave a yawn. Sirius sat up and hugged Harry. It felt ackward. Harry tensed up in Sirius's arms, and then hugged Sirius back. Sirius let Harry go, and brushed the hair out of his face.

"I thought you were almost dead!" Confessed Sirius.

"Well I'm not." Harry sat up against his pillows and looked around.

"Where's Ginny?" Asked Harry.

"She's just outside; Want me to go get her?"

"Yes, Please." Sirius ruffled Harry's hair, before he walked out of the room. Soon, Ginny came walking in.

"Hey!" Cried Ginny. She ran up to him, and kissed him gently on the lips. Harry smiled as Ginny sat down beside him. Ginny put her head on his lap, and looked at him with big blue eyes. Harry locked eyes with Ginny; he could tell she was worried. Harry didn't call her on it, he just decided she'd tell him when she was ready.

Soon, Ginny and Harry fell asleep. Harry had his arm around her and she was snuggled up beside him, smiling.

June sat against the wall, manacles pinning her there. She struggled against them. They soon began to cut into her skin. June knew she was going to die. Voldemort would kill her when he got her brother. She'd never met her brother before, but she heard about him a lot.

The cell opened, and in walked Lucius Malfoy. His long white hair trailing behind him. His face wore a sneer.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Snapped June. Malfoy sneered at her, before raising his wand on her.

"Crucio!" June felt immense pain. She withered in pain. The chains digging into her wrists, soon the curse was lifted. June looked at Malfoy, and saw he was smiling.

"Don't talk that way to your superiors." Lucius flicked his wand and the manacles holding June, disappeared.

"Come here, Girl." Said Lucius in a sickly tone. June got up, and walked over to Malfoy. He grabbed her cut wrists and dragged her out of the room.

Soon, they were standing in front of a black door. Lucius Malfoy opened it and dragged June in.

The walls were covered with knifes, swords and whips.

June tried to run, because she knew what this room was. Malfoy tightened his grip on her. He dragged her over to a table in the middle of the room, and forced her onto it. He flicked his wand, and ropes appeared and tied her to the table.

The door opened and a man walked in.

The man was tall and bulky. He had long black hair, and a tomato size nose. His eyes were black.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Lucius." Spoke the man. He had a cold voice.

"It's alright, Richard." The man named Richard walked forward. He grabbed something on the wall and walked up to June.

"Let's get started, then." Richard lifted something. It was long, and sharp. It had a black handle, and had weird markings on it.

He grabbed June's hand and forced it open, palm up. Richard then stabbed the sword through her hand. A scream echoed around the room. Blood spilled onto the floor, as June shut her eyes, and fell almost too willingly into the black that surrounded her.

The next few days passed slowly. Harry and Ginny spent a lot of time together. Soon it was time to go to Diagon Alley. Surprisingly, Harry was allowed to go. Sirius said he was going to come, so that they didn't need many Aurors. Tonks, Lupin, and Moody were also coming.

Harry and Ginny were seated in one of the ministry cars. Sirius, Ron, and Hermione sat with them. Ginny was sitting on Harry's lap.

After, much talk and waiting, they were off. The trip was smooth enough. Soon, they were outside the leaky cauldron. Harry got out, then Sirius, then Ginny, and then Ron and Hermione. They walked into the Leaky Cauldron, walked past everyone, and opened the back door.

They stood in front of a brick wall. Sirius took out his wand. Three across, two down.

Ginny grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him through the gap that the wall made.

"Where are we going first?" Asked Hermione. Her bushy hair bouncing as she jumped up and down.

"We'll go to flourish and blott's First." Said Sirius. The company made it to flourish and Blott's in record time. Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Ron went in, while the adults stayed outside. The only new book on their list was The Standard Book of Spells, Grade Five. Harry paid for all four books.

They soon found there selves walking towards Madam Malkin's Robe Shop for all occasions. They all needed new robes. Half an hour later they walked out of the store. Sirius decided they should go for lunch.

They walked to the Leaky Cauldron and sat down at a table. Tom came by and asked what they'd want. Everyone agreed, soup was the best choice. Once they were finished Harry got up and back away. He accidentally bumped into someone, and they both toppled over.

Harry looked to see who he had tripped, and found himself face to face with Cho Chang.

"Cho!" Cried Harry, in surprise.

"Harry!" Cho's eyes widened.

"Long time no see." Said Harry.

"Ya… About a year. It's nice to see you!" Smiled Cho. Both stood up and faced each other.

"Well… I better go. See you around Cho!" Cho gave Harry one more warm smile before she turned and walked away. Harry turned around and saw Ginny's face was red.

"What?" Asked Harry. Ginny didn't answer. She just grabbed his hand and dragged him away, so that they could go to their last store. They decided to go to Fred and George's shop.

They walked awhile and soon saw the Orange building. They walked in.

"Sirius?" Came a dazed voice. The company turned and saw Fred and George standing there.

"Hi, Fred… George." Smiled Sirius.

"We thought you were-"Started George.

"Dead?" The twins nodded their heads.

"Well, I'm not… I've seen you've kept busy." The rest of the afternoon they spent roaming around the store. Fred and George asked if they'd like to stay overnight. Sirius agreed. Though, Tonks, Lupin, and Moody couldn't stay. They soon left.

The day ended and George and Fred led them to a back room. There were five beds already ready for them. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Sirius crawled into bed and soon fell asleep. Harry was the last to fall asleep. Soon, he shut his eyes and dozed off. The moon sinking behind the cloud. For once Harry felt save, he didn't know why, but he did. Harry smiled at the sleeping form of Ginny. Then fell asleep.

(A/N) I know, long chapter, I couldn't find a way to end it. I hope you enjoyed it. Please, PLEASE review. I also received a review… It's not really a question but I guess I should answer it.

Peluge said 'I just don't understand why Voldemort didn't take Harry with him before disappearing...

Well… I just didn't want Voldemort to get Harry then, for many reason's you'll see.
