Chapter Seven

Somehow I came across my own story here on I had forgotten all about it. This is what I had so far of chapter 7 done but now I can't even remember where exactly I was going with this. I have some new ideas but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to send them to me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

After Ginny had realized that her brothers, Tonks, and Hermione were missing she had been obsessed with finding them to ensure their safety. Now, she was downright curious. Dumbledore had assured the Weasleys of everybody's safety up in the attic, but his level of secrecy over what had happened to the missing four seemed slightly odd to Ginny.

When they had gone back to the kitchen Dumbledore had actually lied to the order members. He was rather good at lying she noticed. If Ginny had not known the truth she would have easily accepted Dumbledore's story, but, since she did know that the truth she couldn't help but be a little hacked off at Dumbledore's portrayal of Charlie and Tonks. His tale involved Tonks and Charlie confusing a rather tricky demon that Ron accidentally released from an attic closet with an attacking deatheater and immediately evacuating Ron and Hermione to Hogwarts. She had been especially upset when one order member snidely commented that he knew Tonks was clumsy but he hadn't realized quite how hollow her head was.

Luckily, everyone had accepted Dumbledore's explanation that they would be staying at Hogwarts for the rest of the summer. The official reason was for extra training to enable them to better aid Harry in his fight against Voldemort. Everyone had quickly departed and no, the only people left were the Weasleys, Dumbledore, Mad Eye Moody, Remus, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and to Ginny's great dislike Professor Snape.

Ginny couldn't help but wonder why Dumbledore had told everyone that though. Why didn't he want the order members to know what had happened to Ron and Hermione?

Judging from their facial expressions everyone else (except for Snape who had the same annoyed facial expression as always) were wondering the same thing.

"Albus, what has happened to our children?" her father asked while holding onto Molly, who looked like she could use all of the comfort that she could get.

"What I am about to tell you will come as a shock, it may even seem impossible, but you must remember that anything is possible."

"They are on another world."

Everyone, including Snape, stared at Dumbledore uncomprehending.

"What do you mean?" Bill asked.

"I mean that they have traveled to another planet, they are no longer on Earth."

"But that cannot be," Snape spoke up, "Wizards have been trying to discover other dimensions and worlds for thousands of years, it is impossible!"

"Remember, Severus, anything is possible. Do any of you recall ever hearing the legend of the Rurr mirror?"

Ginny was relieved to find that she was not the only one who was bewildered by his question, in fact, only Mad Eye Moody and Snape seemed to know anything about it.

"Everyone knows that's just some legend, Albus, every attempt to find that mirror has failed and people have been looking for it for over 8oo years!"

Mad Eye Moody, for his part, seemed to believe in the Rurr mirror, whatever that was.

"Just because it hasn't been found doesn't mean it doesn't exist," he spit at Snape, "But I'd be hard pressed to believe that it's been sitting around in the Black's attic all these years without anyone realizing what it really is."

"Ah, but you see, Alabastor, it makes perfect sense for the mirror to be sitting around in the Black's attic."

"And why would that be?" Snape asked in a disbelieving tone.

"You are forgetting a vital part of the legend, Severus. It is said that only a direct descendant of the creator of the mirror can unveil its powers."
