Gone

Ginny was up in her bedroom at the Burrow. The Death Eaters had finally left after interrogating everyone present. It was one of the worst experiences in her life. She couldn't help but shutter as she remembered what happened mere hours ago.

Avery grabbed onto Ginny and shoved her into the chair that Dolohov had conjured. Ginny saw that Avery and Dolohov weren't alone. Yaxley, Rookwood, Macnair, and Bellatrix were also present.

"Crucio!" Avery yelled and Ginny felt unbelievable pain. Pain she had never endured before. She felt as if a million white-hot knives were being driven into her body. She couldn't help but scream out in pain and agony. She slid off the chair and onto the ground.

"We just want to ask you a few questions. If you cooperate, no one gets hurt." Avery sneered at her.

"Like hell I'll answer!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Crucio!" This time Yaxley did it. Ginny again felt the piercing pain.

"Now…" Bellatrix also had her wand pointed at Ginny, "Where is Potter?" She spat out Harry's name, like it was something toxic.

"I don't know." Ginny answered truthfully.

"Liar!" Avery yelled, "Legilimens!" Ginny felt someone else inside her mind. She tried to block him out, but she was weak after being a victim of the Cruciatus Curse.

"She doesn't know." Avery muttered in astonishment.

"Of course she knows!" Bellatrix yelled. "She's with Potter." Again, she spat his name. "Are you really daft enough to let a child block you out?" Bellatrix looked furious.

"Crucio!" Bellatrix took her fury out on Ginny. Ginny couldn't help but squirm on the floor, and scream. She now understood why Harry didn't want her to know anything.

"Legilimens!" Bellatrix took her turn sifting through Ginny's memories. Bellatrix saw the one of her and Harry on his birthday.

"I knew it!" Bellatrix momentarily stopped. "You are with the Potter brat!" Ginny was about to respond when, "Legilimens!" Bellatrix started again. After a few minutes Bellatrix stopped.

"Are you with Potter?" She asked Ginny, who was still lying on the ground.

"Why would I tell you?!?" Ginny started to regain her fiery temper.

"Crucio!" Yaxley pointed his wand at her, "That's why!"

"Now, Blood-traitor, tell me, are you with Potter?" Ginny lost it.

"No! He dumped me, and left! I know nothing!"

"Legilimens!" Bellatrix yelled. "She's telling the truth. I guess Potter's not as thick as we thought. Just a heart-breaker." She gave her evil high pitched laugh; which was more of a cackle.

"Crucio!" This time Avery, Dolohov, Yaxley, Rookwood, Macnair and Bellatrix all yelled at once, wands pointed at Ginny.

If Ginny thought one Cruciatus Curse was bad, than six was death. Ginny screamed out in pain, as the door flew open, and Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George came rushing in.

"Stupefy!" The Weasley men called, pointing their wands at the Death Eaters.

Alecto and Amycus Carrow also came into the room.

"No sign of Potter!" Alecto cried, "Lets get out of here!"

Bellatrix shot one more Cruciatus Curse at Ginny, and then they heard eight 'POPS' a sign of apparation.

"Ginny!" Charlie was the first to act. He ran over to her, and picked her up off the ground. She was still slightly shacking from the Cruciatus Curse. As Charlie cradled her in his arms, she slowly lost consciousness.

And that was why she was hiding in her room. She couldn't stop thinking about Harry. She was starting to think about her true feelings for Harry. It couldn't be just a crush; she had decided she loved him. There was no other logic explanation. Just then, Ginny heard a knock on her door.

"Can we come in?" Ginny heard Fred's hesitant voice.

"Sure." Ginny's shaky voice answered.

The doorknob shook, and Ginny heard someone mutter, Alohomora and the door was opened.

George and Fred walked across the room and sat down on the edge of Ginny's bed.

"We're sorry about earlier." George said.

"Why?" Ginny was confused.

"We should have been watching over you. Then maybe you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Fred explained.

"I'm fine." Ginny muttered.

"Gin! You had the Cruciatus Curse put on you multiple times! Then you were unconscious for almost two hours!" Fred was getting frustrated with her. She constantly bottled up her feelings, and tried to act as if everything was okay.

"We know you don't like to seem weak, but, come on Gin! The Cruciatus Curse! You have to be feeling some pain!" Fred was now standing up. Ginny quickly got to her feet.

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell you that I feel so much pain it's unbearable? That my head is spinning and every bone in my body ache's!"

"Yes! Gin, it doesn't make you weak to feel pain! Why don't you tell us? We'll be able to help you endure the pain, but not if you keep it all bottled up!" Fred had turned the famous Weasley red.

"Fine!" Ginny melted to the floor.

"I feel so much pain," Ginny was whispering, "So much pain it's almost unbearable. My chest aches with each breath I take, every bone in my body aches. Every organ in my body hurts." She was speaking so quietly that the twins could barely hear her. "And I miss Harry so incredibly much."

"Gin," George slid off the bed and sat next to her. "We're so sorry."

"I know he just left, but, I miss him. I miss him being mine." Ginny finally succumbed to the tears that had been threatening to fall.

"I just can't believe that he's really gone. I have no idea where he is, or when he's coming back. Or, if when he gets back he'll want me still." Ginny felt herself being pulled into someone's lap.

Remembering the conversation they had had with Ginny at Dumbledore's funeral, they knew what she meant, and knew what to say. The twins had also had a conversation with Ron and Harry.

"Gin, I can honestly tell you that Harry will come back to you." Fred spoke as he too sat on the floor, and patted Ginny's back, who was in George's lap.

"How do you know?" Ginny's voice was muffled in George's chest.

"I just do." Fred answered. "As much as I don't want to admit it, Harry loves you, just as much as you love him."

"How do you know he loves me? He broke up with me, remember?"

"Gin, just trust me, Harry will come back to you." Ginny silently cried into George's shoulder.

"I just want this pain to go away."

A/N- I don't like this one very much. The beginning was a little 'if-y', but the middle was great, and the ending was kinda odd! Any who, like always REVIEW! (Niceness, constructive criticism, NO FLAMES)
