Chapter Nine

Bestfriends

Harry sat on a log, over looking the small lake that was in front of the manor. It was still raining. Harry watched the rain hit the surface of the pond.

Suddenly; a hand touched his shoulder, he jumped up. Harry turned around. Lily and James were both standing there. Harry backed away, but tripped, and fell to the ground.

Lily ran over to him, and helped him to his feet. Harry just stared at the red head.

"Harry… Let us explain!" Said James. Harry looked towards his father.

"Explain! What is there to explain!"

"Harry…" Said Lily in a calm voice. Harry sat down, Lily and James took a seat on either side of him.

"Okay, then… Explain." Lily and James shared a look before they began.

"Well… It all happened a week, before, our supposed deaths." Began James. "We were walking; we had left you with Sirius. Then, we were jumped by Death Eaters."

"They brought us to Voldemort, and he asked us to join him, we resigned at first. But he said he would kill you if we didn't." Said James.

"So, we joined him, he put people that looked like us at our house." Said Lily.

"That's basically it, when Voldemort was killed we went and lived in the U.S.A. But when he was resurrected… he came and found us… We had to join him." Said James. Harry looked at his two parents. Tears were forming in his eyes. Harry then did something unsuspecting. He jumped up, and gave his two parents a hug. Just then, there was a shout from the doors. Harry let go of his parents and looked over.

Ginny was running forward. She ran over to Harry.

"Ginny? What is it?" Ginny's face was beat red, and she looked angry.

"They kidnapped Ron and Hermione!" Snapped Ginny. Harry frowned.

"Voldemort?" Ginny nodded, Harry began to feel his face go red.

"Let's go." They ran off across the grounds, leaving Lily and James to stand there. They ran into the Manson, and ran into the throne room. Ron and Hermione were being restrained by some death eaters, they looked over as Harry and Ginny walked in, and immediately stopped struggling.

"Harry? Ginny?" Said Hermione. Harry stared at his two bestfriends.

"Ron! Hermione! What are you doing here?"

"I have no clue. The last thing I remember is being hit on the head with something!" Growled Ron. Harry looked over at Voldemort, he was looking amused.

"What are they doing here, Voldemort?" Snapped Harry. Voldemort looked at him.

"I was going to give them a chance to join us, potter." Said Voldemort.

"What? Doing something like this… without asking me?"

"I knew you would object. You can talk to them for a bit, but by the time I come back, they better have decided." Voldemort walked out of the room, the death eaters following. Ron and Hermione were dropped to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Asked Harry. Hermione nodded. Ron didn't do anything, he looked sick.

"Why did you join him, Harry?" Asked Hermione. Harry and Ginny looked at each other.

"Well… I joined because he was going to kill Ginny."

"And I joined because of Harry." Said Ginny. Hermione and Ron looked at each other for a brief second, and then looked at Harry.

"We'll join you, mate. But only because of you…not because we want to kill innocent people!" Said Ron quietly.

"All right… We'll tell Voldemort. Stay here." Harry and Ginny walked out of the room, Voldemort was going to be happy about this.
