Chpt. 4- The Crime
Ginny woke up the next morning and headed down to breakfast. "Ginny, I need to talk to you" came an abrupt voice. Ginny looked up into the startling green eyes she knew so well. "Okay, sure" she said and was about to leave when Harry grabbed her hand. Their eyes connected for a moment, then Harry turned and ran. Ginny thought it was rather odd when she then saw Cho giving her quite a nasty look. Ginny looked down at a note that Harry had left in her hand.
"Meet me at the clock tonight at 12 a.m. Don't be late"
Blushing, Ginny folded the noted and placed it in her pocket. She couldn't wait until tonight. Ginny was changing in her room when a sheet of paper fluttered down from her robes. Picking it up, Ginny's eyes quickly scanned the note.
"Change of plans. Meet me at 11:30 p.m."
Ginny looked at her clock which read 11:26. Gravving her shoes, Ginny left the common room, heading towards the clock tower. The school seemed darker already even though there were some students up and about. Finally, Ginny arrived at exactly 11:30. She glided past the clock, over to a windowsill. She stared at the night sky and sighed. She couldn't wait for Harry to come.
She heard some movement and turned her head. "Patrificas totalous" shouted a voice. A blue light suddenly shined in front of Ginny. She couldn't feel anything except a tingling feeling. She couldn't move, only stare. Figures were surrounding her. "Tie her up" shouted a voice. Ginny felt ropes come aroung her hands. They cut into her flesh like knives. She felt the blood drip down her hands. She thought she could scream when she realized that she couldn't because a cloth was put around her mouth. Ginny was hit hard on the side of her head and felt blood trickle down her face. Tears silently ran down her face. "What should we do with her now?" whispered a voice. "The window, out the window" said another voice. Ginny couldn't believe what she heard. Their going to throw me out the window! Thought Ginny. She felt herself being lifeted from the ground.
Suddenly she was face to face with a pale face and dark brown eyes. "Hope Harry thinks twice about cheating on me with you" said the face. Ginny knew who it was. She didn't have any time left to think as she was thrown through the window of the tower. The air was falling all around her as the ground grew nearer and nearer. Until everything went black and the ground felt oh so soft.
