Chapter 9

Kidnapped

Christmas Break flew by to Ginny. She was going to leave her salvation of home and go back to the hell that was Hogwarts now. Even though she knew how bad it was there, she still was determined to go back. She still had to lead the D.A and to see Neville and Luna who kept their promise and kept writing to her over break. Ginny said goodbye to everyone at the Burrow and she and her mom departed to Kings Cross. She boarded the train with Neville and Luna, said her last goodbye to her mom and then left.

"I've been looking through books for more spell we can work on in the D.A during break and I wrote down a couple," said Neville, handing Ginny a piece of parchment, covered in spells and charms.

"You didn't have to do this," said Ginny, although she was very impressed.

"I had a lot of time while Gran was helping some neighbors stay safe," he said. "And I also found a spell that is able to fix our coins so we can send messages to one another as well. I already set mine and Luna's to try it out and it worked."

"Really? Neville you are a genius," said Ginny, handing him her coin.

"It didn't take much," he said modestly. He pulled out his wand and started muttering under his breath, then handed Ginny her coin. "There, it should work."

"It was a lot easier than sending owls," said Luna.

Ginny looked at the coin and it had little letters around the numbers. Ginny tried it out.

"I got you message," said Neville, reading it. He sent one as well.

"And I got yours," said Ginny, reading the short messages they were sending each other.

"The messages can be longer," said Neville.

"This was a great idea Neville," said Luna.

"So is your dad still writing to stay on Harry's side in the Quibbler? I haven't been keeping up," said Ginny.

"Yes he has," said Luna, who grabbed her bag and pulled out two magazines and handed them to Ginny. "He's been reprinting them and sending them out to people. He's been getting letters too saying that they really appreciate him doing this and think he is really brave."

Ginny read through a couple of the articles in the magazine then was about to hand them back to Luna, who shook her head.

"You can keep them," she said, "Dad gave me a lot of them."

Ginny put them in her bag. A little bit later, they left the compartment to change into their robes and went back into the compartment.

"Hogwarts isn't the same as it used to be," said Neville.

"No its not," Ginny agreed.

"Daddy says it will get better for us," said Luna.

"I hope so," said Ginny.

"I won't, trust me," said a voice at the door. Ginny, Neville, and Luna jumped to their feet, wands raised to see Lucius Malfoy was standing there, smirking.

"What do you want?" asked Ginny.

"I'm here to pick someone up," he said.

"And who would that be?" asked Neville.

"Miss Lovegood," he said pulling out his wand. Neville shifted slightly so that he was in front of her. Ginny whispered 'stupefy'. The spell soared toward Lucius, who deflected it without trouble. Ginny and Lucius sent spells at the same time; Ginny's hitting the compartment door, Lucius's hitting Neville, who fell to the floor unconscious. Ginny sent a spell back again, only to get hit with a full body bind curse. She fell on the ground as Lucius grabbed Luna and disappeared. Ginny laid on the ground, unable to move until the curse broke, who sat up when Neville spoke.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Luna was kidnapped," Ginny replied.

The train slowed down and came to a halt.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"He put me in a full body bind and he grabbed her and took off."

Neville swore under his breath.

"What do we do?" he asked. Ginny shook her head. She didn't know what to do. Just then, something burned in her pocket.

"The coins!" she exclaimed.

She pulled it out and began reading the message on them.

'I'm alright, just worry about yourselves.'

Neville was reading his.

"I wonder where he took her." Neville asked, as he and Ginny walked over to the carriages and climbed into one. "I mean, it can only be a place the Death Eaters know about."

"I don't know," Ginny said.

"I hope she's not taken to Azkaban," he moaned. "It would be my fault if she is."

"No it wouldn't be," said Ginny severely. "We did the best we could."

"I knew he was going to hit me first because I was in front of Luna-"

"But I was the one who let Malfoy get away," said Ginny.

Neville fell silent after this, mostly because he didn't know what to say. Ginny looked out the window. Luna messaged them, so she still has the coins, which was a very good sign. The train stopped and everyone came out and went inside Hogwarts castle. Ginny and Neville went to the Gryffindor Common Room and saw Seamus and Parvati.

"Hi Ginny and Neville," said Seamus, "Did you have a good holiday?"

"Yeah," they both said.

"Is everything alright?" asked Parvati.

"Luna was kidnapped," muttered Neville.

Parvati gasped and covered her mouth with her hands and Seamus looked shocked.

"How did that happen?"

"A death eater snuck up on us and we tried to fight, but he beat us," Neville said.

"I wonder where they took her," said Seamus.

"I don't know," said Ginny, "but she was taken because of the things Xenophilius is saying in the Quibbler."

"That doesn't surprise me as much," said Seamus, "he is a bit outspoken with that magazine."

Nobody said anything else; it was late so they all went up to their dormitories to go to sleep. The next morning, they all went to the Great Hall for breakfast and ate breakfast when Professor McGonagall came over to Ginny.

"Miss Weasley, may I have a word with you for a moment?" she asked her. Ginny nodded and followed McGonagall to her office. McGonagall sat down behind her desk while Ginny sat in the chair in front of it.

"Now I heard that something happened on the Hogwarts Express that you were involved in, is that correct?"

"What do you mean?"

"Our dear headmaster," she said, "told me that someone was going to be taken, and you would be involved, I thought that meant that you were going to be kidnapped, but as seeing as you are still here that I see you weren't."

"No, Luna Lovegood was taken."

"Do you know why?"

"Her father is the editor of the Quibbler and he prints articles about Harry saying that people should follow him. Lucius Malfoy was the one who took her."

"I see," said McGonagall, "I'll tell the teachers immediately."

Ginny nodded then left the office.

"What did McGonagall want?" Neville asked when Ginny met him in the Great Hall for lunch.

"She asked about Luna," muttered Ginny.

"What did she say?"

"She said she will let the teachers know."

Neville nodded. "Did you see all the new rules Snape put up. They were the educational decrees Umbridge put up 2 years ago."

Ginny nodded. It was true. Snape put up the rules that nobody can read the Quibbler, where no organization over 3 people can exist without the consent of Snape, Weasley Wizard Wheezes products are banned, and many more. Then there was the new rule, the Carrows are in charge of punishment, even though they were before, and every teacher reported misbehaving students to them. Ginny found that most of the teachers didn't follow this rule. They just take care of it themselves, but sometimes, the Carrows find out, and the teachers can't stop it.

"How many more rules do you think he will make?" asked Neville.

"I hope not many more," said Ginny. "Let's go to the common room."

Neville agreed as he and Ginny got up and left the Great Hall.

"'Lo Ginny and Neville," said Hagrid, who was outside the Hall.

"Hey Hagrid," said Ginny, "How are you?"

"Alright, listen," he said, leaning toward them and whispering, "how would yeh like it if yeh were invited to a party?"

"What kind of party?" asked Neville.

"I'm havin' a 'Support Harry Potter' party."

"I thought you said it wasn't good for us to do things like that anymore?"

"Well, it ain't, but after, you know, after Luna got kidnapped, I thought it was a good idea."

"I say we do it," said Neville, "It'll be fun."

"Okay, we'll do it," said Ginny.

"Good, I don't know when I'll have it, but I'll let you know," Hagrid said.

"Okay," said Ginny. Hagrid walked outside while Ginny and Neville went to the common room for break.

"The common room is a lot less crowded now more than ever," said Neville.

"It is," said Ginny.

"I hate this place," whispered Neville. "It's just hell now."

"Yeah," said Ginny.

The rest of the day was quiet. They did the same thing they always did, spoke out during DADA and Muggle Studies, and then went to bed, waiting excitedly for the next day for the D.A meeting.
