Blood spilled out of her vaginal region as the teachers from the school rushed out to see what had happened. They were met with a scene that chilled them all to the bone. Ginny Weasley was on the ground staring blankly at the sky with her head shaking in terror and eyes looking around as if she was expecting an unknown danger to come and claim her. Her robes were shredded into bits of cloth, and even the Olympians took sympathy. There was a bite mark on her right breast, her nipple not even visible anymore. Claw-like scratches marred the flesh on her thighs and belly. Some reached on her neck and there were a couple of bite marks upon her tender skin.
Mrs. Weasley wailed, rushing to her daughter. What she didn't expect was Ginny to scream at the top of he lungs and scoot back in horror. Ginny's breathing was heavy and she grew two shades paler. Dumbledore pushed himself through the crowd, shock appearing on his face. He stood still, his mouth opening and closing as if to say something. The parents started to file out, but one look from Mentor Razmir told the Olympian students to hold them back. They filed in a line in front of them, putting up magic barriers so they couldn't get passed. Dustin stood straight in front of Ron and they were glaring at one another while Zane was face to face with Hermione who was demanding for them to release her so she could help her friend. The girl even had tears in her eyes.
"Ginny!" cried Mrs. Weasley. "Ginny! It's me! Mummy!"
Ginny just shook her head, not daring to speak. Her eyes bewildered, they settled on Harry who had pushed his way through the crowd despite the fatigue. She reached towards him, but he stood still pretending to be in shock. Sirius stood behind him, his view just out of reach for Ginny to see.
"Ginny!" cried Mrs. Weasley. She rushed again, and Ginny screamed.
Larila and Nico cautiously approached her with guarded eyes. She kept screaming, kept wailing. But they didn't stop until their hands were on her limbs. Madame Promfrey hustled towards them, pouring a sleeping draught into the students mouth. Within seconds the girl was asleep and the healers started to work as quickly as possible.
Headmaster Drennon gripped Dumbledore's arm, whispering something in the man's ear that made Dumbledore shake his head in confusion. They had a silent discussion among the yelling chaos, however Drennon had to have the man grip at his senses. He placed his wand to his throat, and the old man spoke with a strained voice. "I ask all visitors to leave at once! And for students to go to their dormitories until further notice!"
"Olympians get into pairs and help the faculty find the perpetrator!" bellowed Drennon as a stretcher for Ginny appeared and they three healer plus Neville, who Nico had pulled along side, to help out. Luna and Dustin paired up, following Alana towards the Astronomy tower. Draco and Rafaella fell into step with a few other pairs who were following Severus and Flitwick. Blaise and Pansy followed Spout. Then there was Harry and Zane who, along with Daniel and Annabelle, were on Hagrid's heels. And by Harry's set jaw, Zane could tell that when he saw him exiting the forest he wasn't strolling around there just for the views.
"That wasn't an ordinary creature," whispered Zane as both he and Harry ignited their wands. Hargrid had taken Daniel and Annabelle with him for searching and left Harry and Zane to scour the rest of the forest. The forest was all too quiet. It was almost as if the creatures had gone into hiding or had disappeared all together. "No man could do that. And those bite marks," he shivered.
"It is a pity," sighed Harry.
Zane glared at him. "What exactly did you do Harry?" he asked in all seriousness.
Harry glanced at the short man, shaking his head. "She deserved it, Zane."
The smaller boy stopped Harry in his tracks, looking him dead in the eyes. "Harry," he spoke softly. "Neville told me about whatever you were hinting about to him. What did you send after her?"
"It wasn't my idea," he smiled. "Chaos told me to do it."
"What did she tell you?" he pressed.
"Satyr," he said with a smile. "I sent one after them.""
"Them?"
"Slughorn and Ginny," smiled Harry. The shock of Zane's face was almost priceless. Harry laughed quietly to himself. "Just wait Zane," he said softly as he inched closer to him. His lips were barely touching his. "I'm going to find out whatever is going on in this castle." He then grinned. "And I want you to be by my side."
Time froze when their lips touched for a mere second, and the destinies of many were changed with that one action.
SHORT! I KNOW! But it's New Years and I wanted to have something out for you! Next chapter will be longer! One of my resolutions is to make more frequent updates!
