Chapter 3: Detention

Friday wore on as I waited for my detention. I sat in my bed, wondering what detention would be like with the Carrows? For the past day I had to deal with Demelza, Lavender and Parvati scolding me for not staying quiet. I know they were all worried, but I could handle myself. Neville on the other hand didn't have much to say about it. He just smiled when I told him what I said to the Carrows. I wonder what my parents will think if they find out. I shuddered at the thought. My watch read 8:40pm. Dragging myself out of the bed, I grabbed my wand and headed out the door and down the stairs to the common area. It was filled with students, yet none were really conversing like usual. Gryffindor tower was pretty quiet, everyone was relaxing but none had true smiles on their faces. I walked passed everyone, ignoring the stares and was about to open the portrait when my name was called. It sounded like Neville.

"Neville?" I called out. He was running to me all the way from the boy's dormitory staircase. He was a little out of breath.

"Do you mind if I walk with you? It's late and I don't want anyone to try anything." He said.

"Neville no offense but that would just be two of us. We won't be able to do much if we get attacked." I said softly trying not to hurts his feelings. Instead he smiled wide.

"That's why Luna is waiting for us. We're not going to let you walk alone." He said pulling my arm, guiding me out the portrait hole. Just like Neville said, Luna was waiting patiently outside the portrait. I couldn't help but smile at my two friends. Together we walked to the dungeons, all in complete silence until we reached the dungeons.

"Thanks for walking with me, it really meant a lot," I said gratefully.

"Don't worry Ginny, we will always be here. We are a team, and we need to stick together." Luna said completely shocking Neville and I.

"She's right," Neville, answered, "We are a team, and we need to stay together, now more than ever." I smiled, my first real smile since the summer.

"Thanks, well I better go," I said checking my watch.

"Do you want us to wait?" Neville asked. I shook m head.

"It's okay, I don't know how long they will keep me." I said. I honestly wanted them to stay, but I can't let myself rely on anyone right now. I need to stay strong. I left them there, standing watching me walk into the unknown.

I walked into the dark room.

"Ah there you are Miss Weasley." A voice said. Standing to the front of the room were Both Carrows and some Slytherins. "Let's wait, ah there he is now." Amycus Carrow said. Next to me stood a little boy, no more than 12 years old, he was wearing Ravenclaw colors. "So now that both of you are here, we can start. I take it you know Gergory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe?" He said, "Well they need to practice some curses and who better to try it on that rebellious students who need to learn their place." He said staring at me, "And to get to all their classes on time." He added staring at the terrified little boy next to me. I took the boys hand, not liking where this was heading. "So who would like to go first? Ah Weasley I think you should do the honors, or would you rather little Charles Connor?" He smirked.

"I'll go," I said doing my best to erase any sign of fear. I stepped away from Charles and faced the boys.

"Goyle you first" Alecto Carrow ordered. A big Slytherin walked forward, he wouldn't have scared me if he didn't have this creepy excited look on his face.

"Crucio!" He yelled before I could even compose myself. Instantly I felt like I was standing in front of a fire. My body was slowly starting to burn. Then it suddenly stopped. I was kneeling, my arms wrapped around my body as if automatically protecting myself.

"Impressive Goyle. Mr. Connor step forward now." He ordered. I forced myelf to stand and looked back to Charles. He looked utterly terrified, he was noticeably trembling. He had small tears falling down his cheeks as he walked slowly forward.

"No!" I somehow forced myself to yell.

"Weasley it seems you haven't learned when to speak. I guess I will let that pass, but only for a moment. You see I heard from a reliable source that Potter and you were very close last year." Amycus smirked. I tried my best to not show any emotion. My heart wanted to scream at him to leave Harry out of this, but what good would that do? "So tell me, where is he?"

"I don't know, he dumped me last year." I whispered trying my best to convince them. I honestly didn't know where Harry was, but that kiss we shared over the summer was my way of saying i would wait for him, but of course the Carrow's could never know that.

"Ah so he got tired of you? Well that's too bad, but I also hear you are friends with the mudblood. I believe she is with him. So I will ask you one more time to tell me where they are." He yelled. I guess I didn't answer quickly enough because soon that burning feeling returned.

"I don't know where they are!" I yelled. A fire raged inside of his eyes.

"well that's just too bad, Connor get over here now!" He ordered.

"No!" I yelled. "It's me you are angry with. I will gladly take his punishment!" I yelled. Charles looked like he was going to faint. "Wouldn't you rather torture me? He's just a kid!" I yelled, "Isn't this enough of a punishment for him?" I asked angrily.

"Fine, you want to take his punishment, I don't see why not." He smirked, "Crabbe it's your turn" Crabbe walked forward and had this smile on his face.

Before I could even prepare myself, my body was on fire. It felt like a thousand knives were grazing my skin. Each just placing small cuts, opening wounds just to let them bleed out. He definitely had a lot of hatred in him. Then as quickly as it started, it ended. I was on the floor, and my throat hurt. I think I had been screaming.

"Okay Crabbe, good job. You are both dismissed. Next time I hope you will think twice before you forget your place." Professor Carrow spat before leaving. I could barely move, my body was too sore.

"Please wake up!" A voice cried, "We need to get you up" The same voice cried, it sounded like Charles.

"Luna, find Luna Lovegood" I said, "Tell her to get Neville, I think it's time we got our old group back together" was the last thing I remember saying before everything went black.

Author's note: Well there you have it. If any of you are wondering what she meant by "i think its time we get our old group together,"...then read the next chapter because it will be called the DA.
