Well I did it; chapter 15, completed, checked and delivered in a day. I wasn't sure if I would get this done in a day, as there is a lot too this, so hopefully it will not seem to rushed.

I own nothing apart from the seven Harry Potter books, and the six films that are on DVD.

As it turned out, the plane journey went pretty smoothly. Ron managed to not vomit; despite many visits to the bathroom (Hermione had stopped counting at around twenty three), George had only slept for around an hour or two and had spent the rest of the journey talking to Luna about some of the old tricks he and Fred used to play on Ron and Percy, and Arthur had remained quiet for almost the entire journey; after four hours, the rest of the group were sure Molly had performed the silencing charm on him.

Charm or not; Arthur was able to talk all the way from baggage claim to the street outside about the brilliance of Muggle invention. ''So, Hermione what brilliant machine are we going to use to travel to the hotel.''

''Actually, the hotel is just two streets away so we'll be walking.'' Hermione replied, assuming that Arthur wasn't going to like that answer.

''Oh well, walking in amongst the Muggles; that will do for now.'' Arthur still looked incredibly excited, and all of his children shared a look that said 'he's going to be a nightmare'.

The Australian sun quickly made an effect on the group, and halfway down the street, everyone but Arthur had removed their jacket; he was too busy admiring the use of the bicycle, wondering if they were ridden differently in Australia.

Once they reached the hotel, Hermione went to the front desk and got the three room keys. ''Alright, all our rooms are close to each other and are on the third floor; so we'll take the elevator.''

''I wonder if these are any different to the ones in the Ministry.'' Arthur whispered in Molly's ear as Hermione led the group into an open elevator.

The hallways were a golden yellow, which matched the golden metal room numbers attached on to the front of the pure white doors. Hermione stopped about halfway down the long corridor. ''Okay, the two person bedroom is 57 so Mr and Mrs Weasley you will be in there. 58 is the one opposite 57 and is the three bedroom; so that's mine, Luna's and Ginny's room, and 59 is the one next to 57; which is the four bedroom for the boys.''

Hermione passed Molly the key to her and Arthur's room, and the other to George for his room, before unlocking the door to the room she, Luna and Ginny would be staying in. As the girls walked into their room, the boys went to walk into their own; but were stopped by Molly standing in the doorway.

''Now I want to make this very clear. If I see any of you three...' her finger indicated George, Ron and Harry ''...sneaking into the girls' room, you will not need to ask if I'm angry.''

The boys all nodded, and then walked into their room once Molly had moved to go into her own.

After around an hour, the girls we settled in; Luna was currently pressing buttons on a mysterious metal box which displayed moving pictures in a glass rectangle; the buttons appreared to be changing the moving picture, Ginny was looking through tourist leaflets she had picked up in the lobby, and Hermione was continuing with her book.

All three were broken out of their respective activities by a knock on their door. Hermione got up to open it.

''Hello ladies'' George walked in as soon as Hermione had opened the door, and walked across the room to Luna.

''George, you are not supposed to be here.'' Hermione said quietly, she didn't want Molly's bat-like hearing to know George was there.

''How'd you know? She said that after you came in here.'' George asked from his seat next to Luna.

''I heard her talking about it to your father on the plane.'' She replied. ''Anyway, if even Ron and Harry are following the rules for once, then surely you can too.''

''Actually Harry and Ron said they were going to come over, just as soon as they knew that Mum hadn't caught me.'' As soon as George had finished, there was a quiet knock at the door.

Hermione sighed and walked back to the door. ''Honestly, will you two ever do what you are told?''

''Can't see it happening myself.'' Ron replied, putting his arm across Hermione's shoulders and kissing her temple.

''Where's Percy?'' Luna looked at George beside her.

''He went for a walk, we would of been over earlier if he wasn't here.'' George jumped up and looked out the window which looked over the hotel entrance. ''Need to keep a look out for when he comes back though, he's may be twenty two but he will still tell on us.''

The boys spent around forty five minutes with the girls before George spotted Percy walking back into the hotel. ''Oh bloody hell, time to go.''

He gave Luna a quick kiss on the lips before running to the door. He checked for any sign of his parents and then ushered Harry and Ron through when he saw that the coast was clear.

A couple of minutes after the boys had left, Molly came into the girls' room. ''Me and Arthur thought that, since we are just settling in here; we wouldn't do too much today. So we'll have dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant, and then maybe go for a walk around the neighbourhood; we've just been speaking to Percy and he says it's lovely around here.''

The three girls expressed their happiness with that plan, and Molly returned to her own room.

Dinner had been eventful.

Firstly, on seeing a sign of free cakes for birthdays; George had dared Ginny to go to the front desk and tell them it was Ron's birthday, leading to a group of around eight waiters standing around their table and singing happy birthday to Ron; whose face went redder than his hair (but he did enjoy his portion of the free cake afterwards).

Secondly, on walking past the kitchen; Arthur had walked into a waiter carrying a blender and had spent nearly twenty minutes asking about its basic functions, until Molly had gone looking for him and dragged him back to the table.

After all the laughter and excitement, the group greatly appreciated the walk Molly had mentioned taking.

They were not to far away from the beach, and in amongst the many buildings; there was a gentle coastal breeze around them.

''It is very beautiful here.'' Luna spoke dreamily; her arm was through George's and she was leaning her head on his shoulder.

''Yeah it is, so why is it so quiet around here?'' George looked around and could see no other people, except two men who were stood facing an empty shop window.

George continued to walk with Luna, but behind him; Harry had also noticed the two figures, but unlike George he noticed that there was something wrong with those people. They were wearing jeans and jackets; the usual Muggle wear, but both were stained with dirt and torn in many places, and he wondered why were they staring into an empty shop?

As Harry walked past them, he saw their faces in the reflection of the shop window. The man on the left looked of his shoulder; his eyes darted straight to Harry with a look that was only too familiar to Harry.

''Run'' he shouted.

The group all turned to Harry; only to see him throw himself to the ground in an attempt to dodge a stream of red light.

The two men were now both facing the entire group; their hair was tangled and wild, their eyes we diluted red, and in their hands they were holding their wands.

''Stupefy'' Harry remained on the ground, and pulled his wand from his sleeve and aimed it at the two men, sending the man of the left through the shop window.

''Crucio'' The second man waved his wand down towards Harry.

''Expelliarmus'' George pulled his wand from his pocket and aimed it at the second man; whose wand was sent across the street.

''Crucio'' The man Harry had thrown through the window had jumped up and had waved his wand at George. A string of red light hit George in the arm and the blast knocked him on to the ground.

''George, are you okay?'' Luna dropped to the ground and sat beside him, her eyes began to fill with water.

''Yeah, I'll be alright'' George winced as he sat up, holding his arm.

''Expelliarmus'' The man climbed through the window and stepped back on to the street, and then disarmed Ron. Hermione moved into an offensive position at the front.

''Petrificus totalus'' she waved her wand and both men froze and fell backwards.

''Everyone alright?'' Arthur looked over everyone. ''Harry?''

''He's fine Dad.'' Ginny replied as she helped Harry get to his feet.

''George?''

''I'm alright Dad.'' George was now standing, but still had a grip on his arm.

''You are not alright George.'' Luna looked horrified that George would brush it off so casually.

''Luna...' George looked concerned at Luna, but did not finish as he saw his father walking towards the two men.

''Are they...' Harry gestured towards the men.

''Death Eaters, yes.'' Arthur confirmed. ''They must have followed us here.''

''I don't understand, what are the chances of two Death Eaters being here.'' Ginny looked at her father for an explanation.

''Actually...' Ron walked back towards the group, having fetched his wand. ''...looking at them, it think I saw them on the plane.''

''Death Eaters on holiday? Come on Ron.'' George chuckled at the notion of the idea.

''Actually George, that would explain why they are here.'' Arthur spoke, but did not look away from the two paralysed men.

''The Ministry are certain that many of the Death Eaters that escaped the war have gone into hiding amongst Muggles. Is very possible that on our way to the airport, those two saw Harry, and followed us here.'' Percy said.

''Well then, I think we should apparate these two back to London. Percy will you fetch this one's wand...' Arthur indicated the man George had disarmed. ''...me and you will take them to the Ministry. Molly will you take the kids back to the hotel; I don't see why we should ruin our holiday because of this.''

Molly led the others back toward the hotel, while Percy and Arthur apparated back to London with the two Death Eaters.

For the entire walk back, Luna did not speak a word; George had initially believed that she had been angry at him for geting himslef hurt, but the distant look on Luna's face told him that maybe there was a greater problem. Having no idea what to say to her; George simply walked beside her, occasionally wincing when his injured arm stung.

Once the group reached the corridor to their hotel rooms, Molly turned to look at them. ''Well, I think I what we all need is a good nights sleep. I will wake you at breakfast.''

Everyone but George began to make their way into their rooms.

''Um...Luna...' George called after her, knowing that he would be spending most of the night worrying about her if he didn't get answers now.

''George dear, let her have some rest.'' Molly interrupted him.

''Mum, something really bothered her when I got hit by that curse.'' George insisted, maybe if he could convince his mother that there was something wrong, then she would talk to Luna for him.

''George, seeing the person you love get hurt can affect people in many ways; some get angry, some get sad. Luna is an unusual girl; I'm sure she is just reacting in her own way.'' Molly began ushering George towards his own room. ''Now get some sleep, and talk to her in the morning if she is still acting strange.''

Molly walked into her own room, leaving George to look longingly at the door to Luna's room; what his mother had said made sense, but deep down George knew that there was much more to Luna's behaviour than it seemed. Reluctantly, he turned and walked into his room.

In her own room, Luna lay on her bed facing away from Ginny and Hermione. George had called after her; he knew something was wrong, but Luna didn't believe that she would ever be able to tell George the true reason for her reaction, and as she closed her eyes, the tears began to fall, and the memories began to emerge.

Next chapter; Luna's past comes back to haunt her, and George learns the reasons for her strange behaviour.

Now you will press that button that says 'Review', otherwise the Death Eaters will come to get you. ;^)
