Demensha: Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 1

Ginny Weasley was walking slowly and carefully through the forest. On the outside she was alert and ready to fight. Inside, though, she felt horribly depressed and pissed off.

Harry was gone, but she didn't know where, nobody did. He could be hurt or…... no, she mentally told herself firmly. I cannot think about that, not when I have a job to do. She sighed and kicked a tree in frustration.

"Ouch," she whispered. Damn, that hurt

A flash of bright green light caught her attention. It had been in the trees, far ahead of her. A sudden rush of adrenaline shot through her, making her pain vanish. Ginny immediately crouched out of reflex and strained her eyes to look through the night and trees. She couldn't make see the attacker or tell who the target had been.

Then, something shot up above the trees, it's red light illuminating the darkness of the sky. The signal.

Oh, shit, they're here. She knew that they were being attacked and by whom.

But that's why we're here, to protect and fight. So why are we being told to retreat, she thought confusedly.

There was another flash of light, closer to her this time and she distinctly heard something fall to the ground. She started to run as quietly as she could, weaving in and out of the trees.

What do you think? Please review. I need criticism. I know it's really short, my next chap will be longer, I promise.
