Chapter seven: Wow that's sparkly.

OoOo Tom/Voldemort oOoO

Voldemort smirked as he hid his arrangement of fireworks in the attic. He knew that eventually he would set his plan into motion, but not for a few days. He still had a few bugs that he needed to work out, he wouldn't want to be arrested or anything. And plus, fluffy didn't seem too fond of the idea.

As he placed the fireworks behind a very dusty cardboard box, he saw a very suspicious looking crate over in the corner. It was small in size, no bigger than a postal service flat rate box. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and had chains on it. And can you say 'curiosity killed the cat.'

He made his way over to the small box and picked it up. It was lighter than he had expected it to be, it weighed no more than Fluffy. "Hmmm," He said raising an eyebrow. "What could possibly be in this crate?" He said before tucking it under his arm.

He carefully made his way back to the stairs. He wanted to open in down stairs. He didn't like the attic, it was all creepy and full of spider… and he was pretty sure there was a monster or two; He didn't want to put up with them today.

When he reached the sitting room he sat the box down on the coffee table next to Fluffy VonMeow and pulled out his wand. Seeing as he was on house arrest, it would only perform a certain number of spells. These spells were mostly simple house cleaning spells, levitating spells, spells for entertainment, unlocking, defensive and various other harmless spells.

"Alohamora," He said pointing his wand at the crate. The small lock on holding on the chains popped off. He was grinning like a school boy. Once he had successfully removed all of the chains he threw them over his should, breaking something in the process. He would worry about that later. As for right now, he wanted to know what was in the box.

He pulled off the bubble wrap and threw it to the ground, only after popping all of the bubbles, and looked at the crate. He ignored the warnings painted on the top of the box. The only part of 'DO NOT OPEN, ITS EVIL' he saw was Open.

He silently cast a spell that made the lid pop off. Inside of this small box was a clown. It was painted in colorful paint and had creepy eyes.

"Well hello Handsome, aren't you a cutie." He said picking it up out of the box and admiring it. "Why did they have you locked up in that dark dank crate? He sat it down on the table and proceeded to clean his mess up.

Fluffy Growled from behind him and he spun around. The clown was glaring at him, not to mention holding a knife.

"HOLY MOTHER OF HADES!" He screamed as he scooped Fluffy into his arms, and then booked it to the door. And that is why; you should ALWAYS pay attention to warnings.

OoOo Ginny oOoO

Ginny couldn't quit grinning with excitement; despite the fact she didn't any idea as to what he was planning exactly, but her imagination had run wild. She looked impatiently at the clock for the thirtieth time in the last five minutes, and she was sure to look at it again thirty more times before the ten minutes was up.

She listened to the steady ticks of the clock above the fire place. It didn't calm her, or take her mind off of anything. "Harry! Can I just come back in already?" She called out to him impatiently.

"Surely you can wait five more minutes." He chuckled from the other side of the door.

"Oh but I don't think I can!" She exclaimed. She was tapping her fingers on the armrest of the couch. Before long she was tapping her foot on the oak floors as well.

"Okay, you can come back in now!" Harry called from the kitchen. Her eyes darted to the clock and sure enough it had been ten minutes. She jumped up and practically ran to the kitchen. She quickly pushed open the door.

He gave her a wide grin. "Well I guess this wasn't much of a surprise…" he said sheepishly.

Ginny didn't know what to say. In the middle of the room there was a small table set up. The only lighting in the room was the rose scented candles that were spread across the room in an intricate pattern. Plates full of fruit, pancakes, sausage and waffles covered the little table set up in the kitchen.

"Oh Harry," She said walking up to him and wrapping her arms around him. "You made me a special breakfast."

"Well kind of…" He said when she took a step back.

"What do you mean kind of?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.

He smiled. "Well, you see the thing is; you only get the breakfast if you say yes." He said kneeling to the ground. Her eyes grew wide and her breath caught in her throat.

"Oh my Merlin!" She whispered as Harry pulled a small velvet box from behind his bag, a nervous grin spread across his face.

"Ginny Alice Riddle, Will you marry me?" He asked nervously holding the box out to her and opening it.

"Harry, that's a stupid question!" She said smiling at him with tears in her eyes; she looked at the ring as he slid it on her finger. "You know I will!"

She looked down at the ring. It was silver and was an intricate pattern, it was beyond words (A/N: I will have a pic of it on my profile soon)

"Wow, It's sparkly!" She said smiling up at him as she turned her hand in the light. She watched as it reflected diamonds onto the walls around them.

"It was my mother's, I found it in at Gringotts bank a few months ago, and I know that she would have wanted me to give it to you." He smiled. "Now, WHO WANTS WAFFLES!"

OoOo Hermione oOoO

Hermione was sitting on the couch when people began to return a few hours later. She had been reading a book, surprise, surprise. The first to return had been Luna and Blaise, they were eager to hear what was to happen next. Soon Taylor, Christian, Cherokee and Seamus arrived. Her parents were the next.

"Where's Harry and Ginny?" Taylor asked as she sat down in her regular spot on the library couch. She had been about to pick up the book, it still glowed with the same soft blue it always had.

"That's a very good question…" Hermione said' she had realized that they weren't there, it had really puzzled her. She looked up at the clock above the fire place. They had all agreed on being back here at seven in the evening, and it was seven fifteen.

"Maybe they are 'entertaining themselves…'" Draco snickered in a suggestive manner; much to Tom's dismay.

"Don't even go there…" Tom said closing his eyes. He was mentally erasing a very disturbing mental picture.

"Well it's likely…" Draco said just before they heard a loud *pop* echo through the house. It wasn't long before Harry and Ginny burst into the room panting for air.

"I am so sorry we are late!" Ginny said as she made her way over to the group of people. As she sat down she brushed a stray hair out of her face. Hermione screamed.

"OH MY SWEET MOTHER OF MERLIN!" She jumped up, No one, not even Ginny knew what to think. She was even confused about what her sister was shouting about.

"Herm… Ohhhh!" Ginny said remembering the rig on her finger. Hermione dashed over to her sister and hugged her.

"Finally! I can't believe it Gin, Why didn't you tell me sooner!" She asked. She could see Harry's expression out of the corner of her eye, he was grinning.

"I do believe that I am lost." Blaise spoke up, and he wasn't the only one who was lost. Ginny held up her left hand so that everyone in the room could get a glance at her engagement ring. All the girls In the room shrieked when they saw the beautiful ring on her ring finger.

"GIN!" Luna said hugging her friend. "I am so happy for you."

OoOo Tom oOoO

"I am assuming you are marrying this fellow…" Tom said pointing at Harry. Every one turned to look at him. It was like he had grown an extra head.

"No father, I'm marrying Prince Charles." Ginny said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'm marring Harry."

"Hmm…" Tom said his gaze lingering on Harry, "I told you she would say yes…" He said a smirk spreading across his face… "As did Arthur."

"You asked my father's first…" Ginny said, she was about to cry. She hadn't expected that.

"Of course he did, he is terrified of me." Tom said proudly. "And that reminds me." He said; his smirk was more of a devious grin now. "I decided on a wedding gift." He saw this as an opportunity. This was a very clever opportunity, one that dealt with a very pressing matter.

"Oh Merlin," Amethyst said from beside him, she had a bad feeling about this.

"Oh, it won't kill them…" He trailed off for a moment… Though he meant no harm to them what so ever, he had a feeling that that statement wasn't entirely true… "Hopefully…"

"Tom!" Amethyst said to him sternly. "You will not give them anything potentially harmful."

"Sure I won't…" He said grabbing the book from Taylor.

"Hey wait your turn!" She said trying to take it back.

"Too late," He said before starting to read.

OoOo Mira-Bella oOoO

"What are you going to do if you screw up?" Teddy asked Ali and I as we prepared for our first official trip back into the past. I knew that this was a question that had been bothering him for the past week. He seemed to think we would screw everything up.

"We go back and try again." I said looking up from the carefully crafted map in front of me. It was the very same one that Uncle Harry had been given in his third year. He gave it to me when I turned thirteen. He knew that he wouldn't be using it anymore and thought that I would like it.

I'm not too sure why he didn't just give it to Theodore; his dad had even helped make it.

"What if it isn't that simple?" I rolled my eyes. Why did Theodore have to ask so many questions? I admit that he had a point, and I will forever live with the consequences of what I messed up on. How was I supposed to know what was going to happen.

"We try again." I said. I remember how sure of myself I had been that day. I didn't think I was going to fail, I had it all planned out in my head. Me and Ali would go back in time, to the day of the final battle and keep Ron from getting to my dad, simple enough… Right?

"Teddy, I don't really think we are going to mess up." Ali said as she slung a bag over her shoulder. "We leave, stay for what… a few minutes, and then we leave what could go wrong?"

Those four words still ring in my head over and over again; they can make a girl loose her mind. Especially when you have nothing but time, and when I think about who said them, my best friend. Well the one that isn't Theodore.

"It's your funeral." He said as I cast the spell. We landed in the middle of the war.

I pulled the map out the moment we landed. I needed to make sure I was in the right place, which I was. "Seventh floor…" I said knowing that so far we were good. "Wait… why are they on the ground floor?" I checked my watch. I know that I had my times right. My father had been killed in a fire started at nine p.m. It was nine and they were all down stairs…

"WHAT!" I asked in loud confusion as I threw the map back into my bag. I took off toward the stairs in a panic. I knew that Ali was right behind me, I could hear the soles if her shoes beating against the stone. I knew that something wasn't right about this. I didn't really have a guess as to what was going on. I had no clue of what to think.

I don't know how we made it to the Entrance Hall so quickly, but I do know that we saw a death eater aim his wand at my father, which should have been my next clue as to the fact that this was all wrong. We all know that Ron killed dad.

"NO!" I screamed running forward as the green curse flew through the air like a bullet, Ali was still behind me.

"HURRY, BRI!" She shouted to me, she wanted to succeed as much as I did. I felt my body crash into his, knocking him out of the way. And I turned to see the spell; it was flying towards another person.

"NO!" Ali and I screamed in unison as we watched the curse hurdle through the air. It was flying towards a woman that I knew all too well. She was tall and had long blond hair that fell in soft curls to her waist, her jade green eyes were like sea foam and she had beautiful features. She was still young, about two years older than my parents. You could only just see a bump beginning to form in the place of her belly. We watched as it hit her in the chest, tears ran down my eyes. I looked back at Ali, her expression matched mine.

It takes a minute for your world to come crashing down around you and It takes a second to ruin a life. That was the first time I lost something dear too me, and it was all because of my carelessness… My dad had been the target and I had pushed him out of the way, If I hadn't, two people wouldn't be dead, there wouldn't be two more people that I had to save. Cause all I needed was a longer list.

OoOo A/n oOoO
