Chapter 5: The Dragon Awakens

It was the third day of the Holidays and Ginny had found that Hermione was next for the tattoo. Ginny couldn't wait to see Hedwig again and especially in a new form. Ginny was at the point of the day, where she was weaving cloth and magic together. Sure her mum knitted, and you could place a spell on the finished item but to have an item to have a permanent charm on it, woven in with the fabric, now that was tricky and it also gave amazing characteristics for the material. She had already made two cloaks. The first cloak was for Harry and the one she was working on now was for Neville, these cloaks were part of a group, they were for the gang, when out fighting as an unknown force.

The magic she weaved into the cloaks was complex, but Hermione had shown her some of the spells to use before the train stopped a few days before. The cloaks were black, but when a team cloak was needed, the hoods and shoulders turned to the colour of that team member. For example Harry's colour was green, so his hood and shoulders would turn green, Luna was going to be white. The other effect was when in that team mode the hoods extended and an obscuring charm came into effect on the whole cloak that Moody's eye couldn't penetrate, that and a one way vision though the hood. So the hood may be up, the wearer could still see what was happening to their side.

Strangely enough every time she weaved a cloak, time seemed to slow down and she was better able to collect her thoughts. Hence her course of action.

Ginny didn't like manipulating people, she had seen the effects of that on Harry and she disapproved, but still a girl must do what she must to protect her man.

First she wrote to Rita Skeeter about a lovely titbit of information, namely information about a certain past undersecretary. Just to bring a bit more information to Rita about Dolores, was the fact she should go see Lee Jordan.

One other manipulation was to hurt Draco, and that was by getting at Pansy. Well if it hurt Draco, great, if it didn't, well least it got another death eater wanna be out of the way.

The last one was to get two students together that were in separate houses.

That night Ginny was up and waiting for Hedwig to appear, well she wasn't the only one. Harry Too flashed in.

Ginny quickly silenced the room and locked the door and windows.

'Harry, oh thank goodness its you. As much as I'd like to see Hermione, I much prefer you.' Ginny rushed as she went to his enveloping arms that closed around her bringing her warmth and safety. Their lips met and for the next half hour they just kissed, Harry laying her down on the bed and cuddling up to her all the while kissing.

'OK Mr Potter, I am now turned on..what gives?' She asked whilst feeling very giddy and happy.

'What? I'm not allowed to be happy to see my sexy gorgeous girlfriend?' Harry looked very sad. 'I'm sorry Ginny, it wont happen again.'

Ginny leapt up, 'Oh I think you will Mr Potter because I enjoyed that a lot and I want it again in the near future.' She kissed Harry, and then leapt off of him. 'Common, tell me what I need to do, I wanna tattoo you know.'

Five hours later Ginny was stiring and found Harry lying next to her, she woke up to the feeling of her hair being stroked. Why the hell did he always make her feel this way, damn him.

'Harry love, you best get back to Privet before mad-eye gets here, oh here is your cloak, and here is Neville's if you could pass that to him please.' She padded softly to the drawers and pulled out two cloaks and handing them to Harry.

'Ok will do, I love you Ginny.' Harry replied not liking he had to go.

'I know, please be safe, and Harry, I love you more.' Ginny smiled at the teasing comment and she got a smile in reply. With that he was gone in a white flame.

Ginny took the charms off her door and room and opened the door to find Ron coming down the stairs.

'Hi Ron' greeted Ginny.

'Morning sleepy head, you must have slept through mum pounding your door last night.' Ron's subtle warning was not missed.

'Yeah I was kinda zonked out last night. Why is mum angry?'

'Shes annoyed you managed a locking charm that she doesn't know how to undo, but I think shes ok. You know I got this weird itch on my arm.' Ron stated indicating where the tattoo was.

'Yeah I got that too.'

They smiled at each other knowing that the whole group was now ready to got to war.

They went down stairs to find Remus, Tonks, Professor McGonagall, Arthur, Molly, Bill, Kingsley and Mad-Eye. They were all talking but what Ginny noticed the most was they were talking about Harry and what to do with him. As they entered, Molly got up and addressed Ginny, so what was so important that you lock your door last night hum?'

'Oh well I don't know maybe a bit of privacy would be real nice, peace and quiet knowing the twins cant get in and prank me whilst I'm asleep' Ginny retorted and stuck her chin out.

Molly struck by how her only daughter had responded could only think to say, 'Well don't do it again, I don't like it.' Molly turned back to the conversation about Harry.

'Potters got to be trained to fight, I don't care what Albus taught him I want me make sure he can fight.' Growled out Mad-Eye.

'I don't know, I want to protect him from all this' exclaimed the professor.

'Oh please Min, hes seen more than most of the new Aurors. Tonks, how often have you battled with death eaters or even Voldermort?'

Tonks sqeeked, 'erm death eaters twice, vold..vold..voldermort..erm never cos that's suicide.' She eventually got out.

'See he has faced Voldermort that he can remember what? Four times and come into contact with his death eaters three times. He will continue to be a focus for this war, he needs to be better trained!' Mad-eye stated.

'Well we could send him away for training with one of the groups, can we get him trained by a hit wizard or by an unspeakable?' Bill asked.

'We know some hit wizards, plus Scrigmore would love that idea as it plays in with the idea that the ministry is doing something.' Remus observed.

'Has anyone asked him what he would like to do?' Ginny intruded. 'After all it is his life your talking about, maybe he would like a vacation before starting on killing Tom.'

'Who is Tom?' Tonks inquired.

'Ok this is worrying, I might know more about Voldermort than you guys. Now that's comical, but you have yet to answer the question.' Ginny had an idea of what they were up to. Deflect her from her objective.

'well hes only a child and he's already on holiday with his relatives.' Arthur joined in.

'Really, being stuck in a house with out being able to go out side with relations that HATE you?' She emphizised the word hate to everyone. 'You call that a holiday, a break from everyday worries? I think not, try again dad.'

'Oh it can't be that bad surly?' He asked with a note of worry in his voice.

'Oh so that bar grill in the garage that we told you came from Harry's window is a figment of my imagination. Wow. That or the fact he is always skinny when he come here doesn't raise an eye brow?'

Ginny wasn't being mean or spiteful or even sarcastic. She was being truthful.

'So you protect him against an ever present threat of a death eater attack, but cant help him enjoy himself. Do you wonder why he hates you and the order so much?'

There it was the first stone cast. You could see the shock on everyone's face apart from Ron who followed her lead and just nodded. This is where they start wondering if he really did hate them and if he did, how far where they willing to push it so he would do his job as far as they saw it.

Bill started 'I think we should train him using him as a symbol of hope for the people, the people will start trusting the ministry and he needs it, surly he would welcome the chance to be better prepared.'

Ginny looked at her brother with remorse and betrayal in her eyes. 'You can try, but you will fail.' She whispered to the silent room and with that she turned and walked out side.

Bill turned to go after his little sister when he found an arm barring his way, 'here is a quick question do you wish to live Bill Weasley?' Asked a serious Ron.

'Ron get out of my way, I need for her to understand.' Bill tried pushing past.

'Oh we understand alright, we have been there with him when you and the rest of the world abandoned him. Now answer the damn question.' Ron spat out.

'Of course I want to live.' Bill shot back.

'Then it would be wise to leave Ginny and myself alone.' Ron suddenly spun so it was his body blocking the way and Ron shoved Bill back into the room. He hadn't meant to lift Bill off the floor or launch him onto the table, but hey, he was a growing boy who didn't know his own strength. He surveyed the mess, turned and left after Ginny.

Ginny was sat down by a fallen tree in deep thought. 'Hey Ron,' she greeted as her silent footed brother approached. 'Why is our family full of betrayals?'

'I don't know, but I do know I would always trust Harry, you and even Neville to do the right thing. Not to sure about Luna though, think she, might sell me for a crumpled horn shorn thingy.' Ron jested.

'Silly boy, and if it was between Harry and Neville, who would you follow, that is if there was a disagreement or one went dark.' She asked.

'Neither and both, I think I would stay with Hermione and get them to talk it out.'

'Ok who are you and what did you do to my brother? Cos you are way too smart to be related to me!' Ginny jumped up and mockingly held her wand backwards.

'You do realise what I had to do to get a kiss from Hermione was? Read a chapter of a spells book every night. That and practicing them seems to have awoken a sneaky side to me.' Rons face turned gormless. 'Me dumb dumb' he spoke with a silly accent.

'So Ginny, what are you gonna do about the Order?'

'Oh that bit's easy, prank them twice, and make sure they find life real difficult with the rest of society, via use of our little bug.' She smiled at the thought of McGonagall going into a clothes shop and being told what to wear, rather than being asked.

'Ginny?' Ron started after a few minuets silence.

'Yeah? Whats on your mind?'

'Well since we now all got this cool way of moving, where do we base from and are we going back to Hogwarts?'

'I think the answer to that one is yes, the reason we weren't gonna go back was the hassle of getting past the wards every time. The other one is a bit of a worry, I mean the room of requirements is a no go now. I suppose there is the lair.' Ginny signed in resignation. She knew it would have to be.

'Ron, I'm going to Harrys tonight ok and Harry and I will look at the lair. We'll clean it up and tomorrow night we all meet up down there. So I want you to go to Luna first then Hermione, get Luna to tell Neville.'

'Ok Gin, just make sure you aren't spotted' Ron reminded her.

'Cheers, I suppose we best go back in side and see what they are gonna try and do.'

Ginny flicked her wand and Rons impenertrable wall and muffling charm were nullified. As they walked back Ron just put an arm over her and gave her a half hug for good spell work and comfort for the upcoming 'discussion.'

Ginny walked into the house and Ron closed the door behind him, they were both making their way to their rooms.

'You two!' a voice called after them. They stopped and turned to find Kingsley striding to them. 'What you two did earlier was real shitty to your mum and dad. They have been through this shit before, you haven't so respect them. Also Neville lost his gran last night..'

'We know.' Interupted Ginny which annoyed Kingsley, being interrupted by a kid. She continued, 'we know his gran was killed by Bella, we do talk you know and funny how you offer to train Harry but not the rest of us, were you going to just keep us all locked up for the duration of the war?'

Kingsley could see the fire behind her eyes and looked at Ron and saw a calm fury awaiting him.

Ron brought him back to the now as fear was taking his mind. 'I wouldn't annoy us Kingsley, we may be kids physically, but I think we have seen more than what we should have and for that we have had to grow up a lot quicker.' Ron sounded in sure deep tones that reverberated into Kingsleys soul.

'Were trying to win a war here, not a quidditch game.' Kingsley responded and instantly regretted it.

Ginny and Ron turned and walked up the stairs to their respective rooms and closed the doors, Ginny weaved her cloak and Ron read up more spells and curses.

As she was weaving an itch started to form on her elbow, a persistant itch at that, until she physically touched it, it was the tattoo.

At last Ginny, I was getting worried. Came Harrys voice in her head, then she could see all he could.

Can you see all I can see Harry?

Yes, why?

Glad I wasn't in the shower then, I want you to be here when you see that sight.

Ginny could tell he had just crossed his legs.

Gotch ya, what you want Harry? She thought sweetly and playfully.

What you up to tonight?

Well I was gonna come see you and drag you off to a secret location that only a few know of and pitch the idea of it as our new head quarters.

Damn, you beat me to it, you coming here?

Yeah will be there at around two ish ok?

Yeah no worries, just make sure your invisible. Love you babe. Bye.

The link was cut and Ginnys mind was back at the itching sensation. She didn't have it now, but the Order soon would.

When it came to one in the morning, Ginny got up and walked upstairs to Rons room and left a wrapped parcel from herself. She knew he would be going himself to see Luna soon and it would be nice if he could take Lunas cloak to her.

She went back down the stairs and started preparing her self mentally for the nightmares to come back. At ten to two she flamed out to find herself lying next to Harry in bed, sadly he was dressed to go.

'Hello gorgeous.' Harry whispered into her ear.

Ginnys reply was far more artistic and fitting, she kissed him and ran a hand over his chest. 'The chamber of secrets' she whispered back and she was gone in a red flame. Harry disappeared in a Green flame.

Ginny found herself beside a Basilisk head, and it was still well preserved. Smell wasn't too bad, but the thing was bloody huge. She felt Harry appear beside her. 'Harry, I don't think Nagini is going to be too much trouble for you dear since you have clearly proven you can kill a snake.'

Ginny started to flick her wand at odd intervals and lights starting springing up from the wall mounted torches.

'Erm Gin, when did you do silent spells?'

'Pardon?'

'Well you just used magic, without words. You are supposed to learn that this year at school.'

'Oh, woops, didn't even notice.' Ginnys mind was a blur, it was always said strong wizards could wield silent magic and it drained them significantly, Ginny didn't feel any effects.

'Harry, want to spar, pure silence ok.' She smiled at Harry and he reluctantly agreed, even though he knew he was gonna have his arse handed to him on a plate.

Thirty minuets later Harry was huffing, but Ginny was fine like nothing had happened.

'Damn woman just how powerful are you?' Harry remarked.

'Erm I don't know, sorry.' She replied.

They looked around the chamber and then looked at each other, they silently got to cleaning the chamber, leaving the Basilisk on the floor. They found several chambers off to one side, one a potions making room, and one a study with a collection of books.

'Harry I think if we take those archways over there and make each one into a room, say the size of 15 by 21.' Ginny noted the three archways opposite the potions lab and study.

'15 meters by 21! Woman are you mad?'

'Meters? No feet you fool! What the hecks a meter when its at home?'

'International standard unit of measurement. Only OLD people use imperial, that and the Americans.' Harry teased.

'Erm Ginny what about the other three people?'

'Harry, we are all old enough and there are three couples. Work it out, who do you think you will be sleeping with?'

Harrys face was a picture of shock, 'But Ginny we havn't.. I'm not too sure that..'

'Relax, its sleeping, we not fucking every night, well not to start with anyway. I'm sure Ron and Hermione will make full use of it. Two people can sleep side by side and nothing happening, when those two people love each other you know.'

'But..'

'Harry do you love me?'

'Yes'

'Do you trust me?'

'Yes'

'Then trust me in this. It will all be fine, ok.' Ginny reassured him. 'you really do have no idea about women do you?'

'erm no not really.'

'Bloody Dursleys.' Ginny fumed, she calmed herself. 'Common, we got spells to learn to get these three rooms plumbed for their en-suites, and put some beds and wardrobes in them as well.'

It was about four in the morning when they lay exhausted on one of three sofas that were situated in the main chamber, in a triangle. Ginnys cloak flapped open as she leaned into Harry. Harry could see a long loose skirt, it was one that swayed when she walked, things were starting to stir. On top whe wore a Corset, Ginnys breasts where being firmly supported by a piece of material and harry wanted at them desperately.

'Oh its not fair…I get to look and instantly I'm turned on, what the hell can I do to you to turn you on as quick? Harry pleaded with Ginny.

Ginny stood up and let the cloak fall to the ground revealing a bare back, crisscrossed with the corset ties. 'Well Harry, you could try just kissing me.' She turned to face him and straddled him, pulling Harrys face to meet hers. She could feel the throbbing cock, she could tell it wanted attention and it was getting her horney as well. Her hands pressed against his strong chest.

'Please Harry, not yet.'

'what? I'm just kissing you, he grasped to get his breathing under control.

'I would have stripped you down and screwed you if you had kept going.' Ginny informed him.

Harry went red again. 'Sorry Gin.'

'Don't be, that was great.

She collapsed into his arms. Come six they were both gone and at their own bedrooms having pleasant dreams.
