Note: This chapter is kind of short. I didn't want to add in the Death Eater and Ginny appearing at Malfoy Manor because it didn't really seem to fit with the title.
The Trip To the Burrow (pt. 2)
~In the fireplace~
Faster and faster she was spinning. Ginny had always loved traveling by floo powder it reminded her of when she was a little girl. She remembered the first time she had ever used floo powder. It was the summer before her first year at Hogwarts. Harry had been with them then, too. It was his first time using floo powder as well. She missed those days so much. She wished that none of this had ever happened. She wished she had a proper family again. As she was reminiscing about these things, she stopped spinning and came to a halt in the fireplace in the living room of the Burrow.
~Inside the Burrow~
"Mum? Dad?" Ginny called out. No one answered. "Ron? Hermione? Harry? Is anyone here?"
"…I'm here."
Ginny whipped around and was standing face to face with a tall, cloaked Death Eater.
"Who are you?" Ginny asked, stalling for time.
"Never you mind. Come along now. We mustn't keep him waiting."
"Who?"
"The Dark Lord, of course."
Ginny realized that she was sweating very badly. Fear was etched into her young, pale face.
"What have you done with my family?" she asked, trying with great difficulty to remain calm.
"Oh, them? That insipid boyfriend of yours really does need to recognize the difference between dreams and reality. The Dark Lord sent him off on a wild goose chase. For some strange reason your boyfriend and his friends believe you to be somewhere in the heart of London being chased by dementors. You would have thought that after that little "incident" with Black, he would have learned his lesson. Ah, well. All the more better for us."
Ginny backed away from the Death Eater. Her heart was pumping extremely fast and hard. She was so nervous that she tripped on the hearth rug and fell back into the fireplace. She was about to shout the name of a place to escape to, but before she could utter one word the Death Eater glided over to her and shouted,
"Malfoy Manor!!!"
As they disappeared from the fireplace, Harry apparated into the burrow. He caught a fleeting glimpse of them and heard Ginny shout his name before they swirled out of sight. Ron and Hermione soon joined him. When they arrived in the living room of the Burrow, they saw Harry sitting on the couch with his face in his hands. They rushed over to him. He looked up, with tears staining his face, and said sadly and angrily,
" We're too late… She's gone."
