Chapter 6: First mission…failure

"The sword? What sword?" Neville asked

"Yes, the sword Harry used during my first year back in the chamber f secrets. I heard Harry, Hermione, and Ron talking about it during the summer. Dumbledore left it to Harry, but the ministry won't release it to him. I saw it hanging in Snape's office earlier."

"So you intend to steal it?" Luna asked,

"Wait what were you doing in Snape's office?" Neville asked right after.

"Long story" I replied, "But this is important, this sword could help Harry. I don't know about you, but I need to do this. This may be the only way I could help." I finished. For a moment it was silent and I waited for Neville to start talking me out of this.

"Well count us in" Neville responded with a small smile.

The hallway was dark, the lighting minimal. No movement was noticed as we waited patiently for our signal. Suddenly a really loud bang was heard throughout the castle. Instantly the gargoyle moved and out walked Professor Snape. He walked by angrily, mumbling things about a deep hatred for children.

Neville looked at me, waiting for the okay. We both nodded and quickly emerged from our hideout. The hall was still empty, actually deserted would be a better word for it.

"Er-Do you remember the password?" Neville asked. I guess some things never change.

"Dumbledore" {A/N- only password I could think of} I said without hesitation. Immediately the Gargoyle moved.

"Perfect," we both said in unison.

"We ran up the stairs and into his office. I don't think Neville has been to Dumbledore's office before because he looked around dumbfounded. I went directly to where the sword was hung. It was just as I had remembered it, except for the bloodstains. Hmm how do I get it down? I asked myself.

"Alohomora," I mumbled. Nothing happened. Great we don't have time for this! I yelled in my head.

"Reducto" I mumbled at the glass holding the sword, instantly a loud crash sounded.

"Ginny? What the-" Neville said after he nearly had a heart attack, by the looks of it. I grabbed his hand and with the sword we ran down the stairs and out the office. The hallway was still deserted, so we ran towards the stairs leading towards Gryffindor Tower.

"I see you go it" Luna's dreamy voice stated. Neville jumped, while I just stood there. Not many things make me jump these days. "I guess the diversion worked"

"No time for this" I said holding the sword up, "We need to hide this before Snape finds us" I said frustrated.

"I think you may be a bit too late for that," A voice said from behind us. We all turned to see none other than professor Snape there, watching us with peculiar eyes. "What I'd like to know is how you three ended up with my sword, and what exactly you were planning to use it for," He said with a small smirk.

~HP~HP~HP~HP

We were all seated in individual chairs, while Professor Snape kept asking questions. The sword was on his desk, just teasing us.

"So again, what were you intending to do with this sword?" He asked, his tone was getting louder each time, "Perhaps" he started giving me an evil look, "You were trying to send it to Potter." He accused.

"I have no idea where Harry is." I said with a complete straight face, void of any emotion. "He broke up with me last year, its not like we keep contact" I tried my best to say without any anger.

"So then what good would the sword of Gryffindor do for you three? Especially you Miss Lovegood, you are indeed a Ravenclaw.

"My dad likes to collect famous artifacts, that would look very nice on my living room wall." Luna said with a dazed voice. It was all I could do to not laugh when I heard this. Snape looked ready to kill.

"I could throw you all to the Carrows! I'm sure you would love that, Miss Weasley." He said, staring at me waiting for any emotion. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

"Ah Severus, what have we here?" A voice said from behind us. We turned around only to see both Carrows staring at us with excited looks. "Could it be that Miss Weasley will be facing another detention with us? How lucky are we?

"I am sorry to say that no they will not be, Amycus." Snape replied with an even voice. Both Carrows gave him a questioning gaze.

"Well why not?" Alecto Carrow yelled

"Calm yourself Alecto" Amycus said. "Well why aren't we?"

"These three need to be punished. I found a better and more suitable punishment for them. Now I think that will be all." Snape said, shocking me. I was almost scared to know what kind of punishment could be in store for us. What could be worse then the Carrows? "You three, tomorrow at 10pm meet our gamekeeper for your detention. You will be going into the forbidden forest. 50 points from each of you for breaking into my office and 10 extra for lying to me. Now get out!" He yelled at us. Quickly we got up, not wanting to change his mind about our detentions. The Carrow's both had angry looks on their faces as they watched us leave.

~HP~

"We are so lucky" I said as soon as we were on the staircase.

"How do you reckon?" Neville asked. "we still have to go into the Forbidden Forest! I heard the animals in there have gotten worse than they were my first year."

"I know, but it is better than a detention with the Carrow's, trust me." I said, "Plus we get to be with Hagrid, what could be better?"

"Is it me or is this detention kind of 'soft'?" Luna asked, "It almost seems to me like he assigned it to us on purpose," Luna said in a spaced out voice.

"Hmm" I replied.

"Yeah right" We all replied at the same time. All I know is that Hagrid's detention isn't exactly something I was too worried about.

A/N- So how was it? WEll next chap will be on their detention, hopefully i will have it up soon. Please Review. I would really like your feedback.
