Chapter two: Death Eaters

"Harry! You are going to make us late if you don't hurry up!" Ginny yelled from the bottom step. Her hair was pulled back out of her face. She wore a pair of jean shorts that came to mid thigh and a dark green shirt.

"We are not going to be late! Besides if you would not move my things I would be done already!" Harry complained from their room.

"Your shoes are by the door so come on!"

"I need a shirt. What did you do with my Cannons one?"

"You are not wearing that shirt it clashes with my hair. Wear your black one." She called back as she paced at the bottom. Her stomach growled again.

"Is it in your trunk?"

"Yes! Now hurry up!"

Harry pulled the shirt out of the trunk and headed out of his room, pulling the shirt over his head. Ginny smirked at him when he reached the bottom. "We need to go shopping my clothes aren't fitting anymore."

"Well they aren't going to if you keep working out." Her eyes traveled over his chest. The shirt was too small now and was pulled tight over his muscles. With a wave of her hand the shirt increased slightly so it fit him a little more comfortably.

"Thank you, come on then." Harry said as he pulled her out the door. The sun beat down on them. It was one of the hotter summers and he had no idea why they had to be outside today. Ginny linked her arm with his and enjoyed the summer sun. "Where are we meeting them?"

"In the park of course."

"Why in the world are we outside today? I mean its way too hot to be out here," Harry whined.

"This is your fault so hush. You were the one who wanted to get along with your cousin so we have to be nice. If I didn't like Jamie so much I would make you go on your own."

He laughed as he wrapped his arm around her waist, kissing her forehead. "Have I told you I love you?"

"Not since this morning."

"Well I love you."

"And I love you in those tight shirts," she said with a smirk.

"Are you purposefully making my shirts smaller?" Ginny only smiled at him. "Ginny!"

"I'm not but I wanted to see if you react like that and you did! No you are finally growing and getting muscles so your shirts aren't going to fit as well as they used to. Though, now I get a whole new set of clothes!" She said happily.

"You were already wearing my shirts to begin with."

"That's true but now I can keep them."

"You already kept them!" Harry said exasperated.

Ginny laughed and kissed his cheek. "Well that really doesn't matter. Lavender and Parvati will be thrilled to take you shopping again, though I am not sure if I like that idea."

"Why is that?"

"Well that means they will see you like this, nah I think I will take you myself." Harry smirked at her.

"You do realize they have boyfriends?"

"So? Doesn't mean I want them looking at you. You're mine and I am not partial about sharing." He laughed again and kissed her. She whined when he pulled away. "Stop that!"

"Nah I don't think I will."

"Look there they are!" Ginny said as she pointed towards a large tree. Jamie and Dudley were sitting under it. Dudley had taken to working out with Harry in the morning and it was beginning to show.

The two made their way to the tree and took their seats. "You're late again," Dudley told his cousin.

"See I told you we would be late!" Ginny said as she hit his arm. He stuck his tongue out at her.

"Sorry but someone keeps moving my things."

Jamie and Ginny laughed. They had come to enjoy a picnic. After eating a large lunch they all were relaxing. Ginny was the first to notice the tension in the air. She sat up, Harry having just fallen asleep, and looked around. Jamie was doing the same thing, her eyes scanning the clearing.

"Do you feel that?" Ginny whispered.

"I can feel it."

They looked around for a moment then almost at once they felt the arrival of death eaters. "Petunia!" They both said at once.

Even though she still didn't seem to care for anything involving the wizarding world, she had begun to talk to the girls. The three of them would sit and talk in the kitchen, while Harry was teaching Dudley all about Quidditch. Ginny had started to come to like the woman but was still a little resentful for her treatment of Harry.

The two of them raced off back towards the house. Harry woke the second they left. "Come on Dudley!" Harry said as he shook his cousin awake. The two boys running after their girlfriends.

Ginny and Jamie had their wands already drawn as the house came into sight. Outside of the house were six death eaters. Vernon stood on the lawn yelling at them to go away. Petunia was no where in sight and Ginny had a feeling she wasn't home. Ginny racked her brain as she thought if the wards would still be in place if both Harry and Petunia weren't in it.

"Expelliarmus!" Both girls shouted together. The death eaters turned to face the girls.

"Get them," one of them shouted. Four of the death eaters moved to attack them. Ginny tossed up a shield around them, which kept them safe.

"Get off my property!" Vernon shouted his face was purple with fury.

Harry came running up in time to divert a spell that was aimed at his uncle. "Well if it isn't Potter," the death eater sneered.

"You can't hurt us here."

"Maybe not you but that doesn't count for them." Harry turned and watched as one of them hit Ginny with a Crucio in her back. Her shield had dropped as she had to concentrate her magic on spells. Another hit Jamie and then Dudley. He could feel the pain with Ginny and she was pushing him away. "NO!" He screamed as he began shooting rapid fire spells that slammed into the death eaters with such force they were actually knocked unconscious.

He didn't see the other death eater fire the killing curse at his uncle. "Harry!" Ginny screamed but it was too late, his uncle fell to the ground, dead. Turning Harry spotted Wormtail.

"You!"

Peter turned and started running but was stopped as Harry hexed him in a full body binding spell. Ginny had moved to guard his side, Jamie was in front of Dudley, who was unconscious from the spell that had hit him.

Before Harry could do anything more to Peter Aurors began to arrive on the scene. Harry stood over Peter, his wand pointed at his throat. "You will pay," he ground out.

Peter only looked at him, eyes wide with fear. "Harry!" Tonks cried as she hurried over to him. "What do you have here?"

"Peter Pettigrew. He killed my uncle and I managed to bind him. He's an anigmus, a rat, so you have to keep him from transforming."

"Did you just say Peter Pettigrew?" Another Auror asked.

"Yes, he isn't dead. You might want to find the buttons on them and portkeys so they can't escape."

"Already have." Tonks said. "We can take it from here Harry." He nodded and turned back to Ginny. She was shaking slightly but was still fine.

"I'm alright."

"I know," he said as he hugged her tightly. She hugged him back. They were just bringing Dudley around. His eyes fell on his dad.

"What happened to him?" He screamed as he ran to his father. Jamie moved to stop him.

"I'm so sorry Dudley but he was hit with the killing curse," she said weakly. Dudley just stood there, unable to comprehend what she was telling him. Tears were in here eyes as she hugged her boyfriend.

"H-Harry?" Dudley questioned.

"I'm sorry Dudley I really am. I didn't see him coming." Harry said in a low voice. "I tried to stop them, I really did."

Dudley didn't reply this time but hid his face in Jamie's shoulder. Ginny pulled back to look up at him. "It's not your fault Harry, you did all you could," she whispered to him.

He could only nod his head. As much as he hated his uncle for what he had done to him he still didn't like to see him dead like that.

"Harry, Ginny are you two alright?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"We are fine Dad," Ginny mumbled as she continued to hold Harry. His face was hidden in her hair.

"I'm sorry Harry," Mr. Weasley said quietly to him.

"What happened here?" Dumbledore asked as he came up to them.

"Death Eaters appeared at the house. Jamie and I came as soon as we realized what had happened. Harry was protecting his Uncle when they put us under the Cruiatus Curse. He was too busy stunning them to realize that Peter came up behind him. He killed his uncle," Ginny replied softly.

Harry pulled back from his girlfriend as he heard Petunia. Her eyes were wide as she saw her dead husband. "Vernon!" She cried as she moved to his body. Harry moved to stop her, catching her against him. "What happened to him?" She demanded from him.

"He was killed by the same man who got my parent's killed," he replied softly.

"Where were you? Why didn't you stop them?"

"He tired Mum but he didn't see him coming," Dudley replied from beside her. "They attacked him directly, we were at the park. Ginny and Jamie got here first and were keeping some of them occupied. Harry came to protect Dad. Then they put us under some spell that hurt really badly-"

"Cruiatus," she said quietly.

"Yes that and then someone snuck up on them while he was getting rid of the ones that attacked us. They hit him from behind."

Petunia didn't say anything for a long moment then broke down in tears. Harry held her as she cried into his shoulder.

"Did he say they have Pettigrew?" Dumbledore questioned Ginny.

Her eyes flashed as she looked at the man. "Yes, the Aurors have him. By the way your wards are useless," Ginny snapped as she turned and headed over to where the others were.

"I'm sorry for Ginny she is a bit protective of Harry and doesn't like him getting hurt." Mr. Weasley said to him.

"The wards are still in tact though, what does she mean?"

"I have no idea but I hope Molly doesn't hear about th-" A loud pop showed the arrival of Mrs. Weasley. Her eyes took in the scene before her and she moved with ease to the group.

She gently pried Petunia from Harry and led her into the house. Ginny wrapped her arm around Harry as she led him inside as well, followed by Dudley and Jamie. Vernon was now gone from the yard and the Aurors were working on altering the muggles minds.

"I think I should help my wife," Mr. Weasley said as he headed inside the house. Dumbledore was still turning over Ginny's words, not really sure what she meant by all of it. With a sigh he apparated away.

Ginny led Harry to their room. He was in a daze at the moment. "Lay down," she said softly as she managed to get him in bed. She settled down beside him and talked quietly to him until he fell asleep. When she knew he was fast asleep she carefully got out of the bed and left the room. She closed the door quietly behind her as she went to check on her mum.

Molly was talking to Petunia, who had finally stopped crying. They looked up when she entered. Petunia's eyes were slightly unfocused and she was shaking slightly. She got to her feet and approached Ginny. "Thank you for trying to protect my husband and son."

Ginny nodded her head slightly. Jamie moved into the kitchen then. Petunia thanked her as well. The two girls hugged the older woman, offering a small bit of comfort for her.

"Where are the boys?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Asleep, we didn't think it would do well for them to continue to brood," Jamie said quietly.

"I think that would do well for me," Petunia said as she headed up to her room.

"I'm going to give her a potion so she can sleep, I'll be back in a minute." The two girls took seats and remained silent. Ginny's head rested on her arms as she stared into space. Jamie was gazing at the wall, both lost in thought. Ginny could feel Harry stir slightly and sent reassuring thoughts to him which helped him slip into a deeper sleep.

Mrs. Weasley returned a few minutes later.

"I thought this place had wards on it."

"It does but they aren't really for anyone. They are protecting inside the house and they managed to pull Harry and Vernon off the rest of the property. It was too simple Mum. They weren't as strong since neither Harry or Petunia was in it. Harry was safe because of his blood protection."

"They hit us with the Cruiatus. That's all it took for them to get Harry's attention away from his Uncle. They hit him in the back with the killing curse." Jamie continued the last bit. "I knew mother had a reason to hate Dumbledore."

"You're a witch?" Molly said a bit shocked.

Jamie nodded her head. "My mum thought I would benefit better with her teaching instead of going to Hogwarts. She thought that Dumbledore wasn't fit to be doing what he was doing."

"Who is your mum?"

"Anna Smithson, she lives about ten minutes from here." Suddenly the door opened and Anna came in.

"Jamie!" Anna said happily as she hugged her daughter. "I just got the news, this isn't good at all."

"What's happening? Arthur had to leave so I am confused." Molly said.

"Well they have Peter Pettigrew and some of the other death eaters that attacked. Whatever Harry used has them completely out. They can't wake them up at all. Fudge is getting hounded by the press, who got wind of the attack here. It's really not good at all." Anna said quickly. "I'm Anna by the way."

"Molly Weasley."

"Nice to meet you. You must be Ginny, Jamie told me about you." Ginny nodded her head.

"Sorry I can't talk much but Harry is waking up again."

"Do you want me to give him the potion?"

"No he just wants me there. Nice meeting you," she said weakly as she made her way back to where Harry was at.

Jamie sighed heavily. "I think I'll go stay with Dudley, he isn't doing well. How did you get here?"

"Apparated since you had taken the car." Jamie nodded and headed upstairs as well. Anna sat down in the seat her daughter had given up.

"So what will happen now?" Molly said out loud.

"Something big," Anna mumbled quietly. "I thought wizards weren't allowed in this house?" She said suddenly.

"Well they aren't supposed to be from what Ginny tells me about these wards."

"Of course, Dumbledore did a bad job with these wards."

"You seem to hate Dumbledore a lot."

"Look where he left Harry at. I bet he never told Harry about his vaults or his houses or anything like that. Lily would be furious if she knew what he had done to Harry."

"You knew Lily?" Molly asked surprised.

"I'm Anna, the missing Auror. I left the country after everything went downhill. I returned a few years ago with my daughter. I fought the Ministry to keep Jamie at home and out of Hogwarts."

Molly remained silent. Things were just getting more and more confusing as time went by.

"Damn right I am furious!" Lily sneered.

"Lily calm down."

"I will not calm down! Look at what has just happened James! You do realize how easy it was for them to kill anyone of them?"

"Well look at it this way, Harry has got Peter, which means that Sirius will be free."

Lily thought about that for a moment. "He's still safer with Petunia. The blood protection will do fine for the time being."

"You mean you don't want him with Sirius?"

"I want new wards on that house! I may not have always liked my sister but I don't want to see her dead as well. That's what they were after James, my sister and her husband. When he gets here I have a few words for him," Lily said in a heated voice. "Hurting my baby like that."

"I was right…." Ginny said in a low voice. "This is only the first one too. We got lucky when we saved Cedric and Sirius. With changing the past it means that things are going to get worse. People who hadn't died are going to die now," she said to Harry. James and Lily turned to look at her. "No one is safe any more. We came back to protect us and my family."

"We will still do that Ginny. There was no way this was going to get by without losing someone in this." Harry told her.

"I know and we will have to wait and see what is going to happen. I don't think Petunia is going to make it out of this."

"What?" Lily questioned, her eyes going wide.

"I think something is wrong, something doesn't feel right. Petunia has never left the house before, so why now? I don't get it, why did she pick today to leave?"

They all remained silent as they thought about it. "Where did she go?" James asked.

"We can't know now it only shows us small things."

"Voldemort is after her now. I believe he was after her to begin with but now more so then ever. I don't think she will make it…" Ginny said slowly as if she still wasn't sure on if she was right or not.

"Then we can only hope she lives," Lily said softly.
