Chapter Ten; Halloween

Alright guys sorry it's been a few days but I've been really busy getting ready for Halloween already watching horror movies and stuff since I love the holiday, so I thought that I'd in cooperate it into here, so sorry for the wait and I hope you enjoy it! Oh and thanks for the reviews, favorites, and follows!

It was October 31st, Halloween. Ron had gone over to Harry's house (in which April had been staying there as well after she finally found her brother and met Rickie) with Sheela and Chase. "I can't believe it's already been a few months since Chase has been born and Hermione went on her world tour with the rest of The Cheetah Girls." Ron said while he fed his son a bottle while his daughter played on the floor with her toys.

"I know, I sure hope that Ginny's doing alright. I miss her so much." Harry said.

"So whatever happened to the chipmunks?" April asked.

"The girls took them with them." Ron responded.

"Isn't that kind of dangerous? I mean they're so little that they could get hurt out there." April pointed out.

"It isn't the chipmunks that I'm worried about." Ron began. "It's Ginny." He finished.

"Why? What's wrong with her?" April asked him. "I think she's pretty nice." She said.

"Oh yeah that's right I forgot, you're new and you don't know her too well." Ron began. "I mean no offense or anything to you Harry, I mean she is nice and beautiful and stuff but she's a little what's the word_ overbearing at times." He told her.

"I hate to admit it but he's sort of got a point." Harry said.

"What do you mean?" April asked him.

"Well when Ginny founded The Cheetah Girls she was a little bit of a control freak. She wouldn't even let Luna join at first." He explained.

"Why not?"

"I dunno." Harry began with a simple shrug. "But obviously she eventually did and now they're the best of friends just like the rest of the girls." He said.

"Yeah but I still think that the chipmunks have a less of an advantage when it comes to standing up to her if they need to." Ron said as Chase finally stopped sucking and he brought him up to his shoulder to burp him.

"So what are you guys going to be for Halloween?" April asked them suddenly feeling the need to change the subject.

"I'm going as a troll, Harry's going as a vampire, and Sheela's going as Belle from Beauty and The Beast even though I suggested that she should be Ariel because of her hair but clearly she inherited her stubbornness from her aunt." He explained.

"Well I think she'll look really cute as Belle." April said as Ron continued patting his son's back.

"Come on kid, I need to get your sister down for her nap!" he groaned impatiently.

"No nap!" Sheela shouted angrily as she suddenly stood up and Chase belched all over his father's shoulder.

"Eww! Yuck!" Ron cried as he started to wipe it off with disgust.

"Do you want me to give you a hand with putting her down so you can take care of the baby?" Harry asked him.

"Yes, thanks Harry. You know it's really hard without Hermione being around so I appreciate the extra set of hands." He said.

"Sure, no problem." Harry told him before he bent down and picked up his niece.

"But Uncle Harry, I don't want to take a nap. I want to stay here with Daddy and Chase." She told him.

"Well I'm sorry but you have to if you want to be well rested for trick-or-treating tonight." He told her. "Besides, Chase has to get ready to take his nap too." He added as he carried her down the hallway.

….

"Do we have to go out there?" Amber asked anxiously as she stood by the doorway and slowly peeked out of it.

"Yes Amber we do, all our fans are counting on us to perform." Ginny told her.

"Ginny's right, they already paid for their tickets and now we've got to go and perform stage fright or not." Hermione told her but she simply shook her head.

"Who says that I'm worried about stage fright?" she questioned. "I'm talking about all the werewolves, vampires, and ghosts that are out there. And not to mention zombies. I mean it's Halloween, and every witch and wizard knows not to go out on Halloween." She said.

"Oh yeah? Well Harry and Ron_" Ginny began before giving a pause. "Hermione? Is there supposed to be a full moon out tonight?" she asked her.

"Yeah, there is every Halloween why?" she questioned her back.

"Oh no! Harry and Ron are taking the kids out tonight for trick-or-treating!" Ginny exclaimed. "Harry's going to turn into a werewolf! April's going with them and she probably doesn't even know about it yet!" she cried.

"Well didn't Harry take his wolfsbane potion?" Casey asked her.

"No, because I forgot to leave it with him! I've got to go back and stop him from going along!" she cried before she disapperated.

"Now what?" Amber wondered.

"We don't have any choice, we have to go on without her." Hermione told her. "Besides, the chipmunks are opening up for us and we can't ruin it for them. We've just got to hope that she gets to them in time before Sheela and Chase get hurt." She said.

"But what if they do? They're your children." Amber pointed out.

"I'll just text Ginny and tell her to text me back if anything happens." Hermione said before she dug out her cellphone.

Meanwhile Harry and Ron were busy getting into their costumes while Sheela put on her dress and April watched the baby. "Alright Rosie are you ready to get some candy?" Ron asked his daughter while he handed her a bag and then made sure that Chase was strapped inside his stroller tightly.

"I'm sure she is, I mean what little kid isn't excited about going trick-or-treating?" April questioned before they started walking out of the house and down the driveway. That's when suddenly Ginny appeared in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Ron began. "I thought that you were in Scotland." He finished.

"I was but I just wanted to make sure that Sheela and Chase were alright." She told him.

"Well, why wouldn't they be alright?" he asked her when suddenly Harry caught a glimpse of the full moon.

"Oh no." he said nervously with a gulp.

"Ron, April get the kids back inside the house right now!" Ginny yelled. April didn't know what in the world what was going on but she knew better than to stop and ask questions.

"Come on Sheela let's go!" she told her as she lifted the little girl up inside her arms while Ron frantically pushed the stroller back towards the front door.

"Harry you have to listen me, you can't change tonight. I know you've got the willpower so please don't change." Ginny pleaded although she knew that it wasn't any use as she watched his teeth and fingernails become pointy while he grew fur all over his body. As he gave one look at her she knew that she was in danger.

Harry opened his mouth and roared loudly at her. "Ginny, run!" Ron yelled as he suddenly appeared back outside the front door and watched his sister make a break for it behind the house. Just as Harry got down on all fours and started sprinting towards her Ron leapt on top of him and they tumbled over each other onto the ground.

"Ron!" Ginny cried as she watched in horror as her brother landed on top of him and grabbed ahold of his jaws and held them open so that he couldn't bite him. The creature continued to snarl and spit his saliva everywhere.

"I'm really sorry about this Harry but I can't let you hurt my sister or my children. You'll thank me for it once you become yourself again because it's your wife and niece and nephew that I'm preventing you from hurting." He told him before he looked back over at Ginny.

"You and April go take Sheela and Chase. I'll hold him down." He explained.

"No, I can't just leave you here." Ginny told him.

"You've got to, it's your only chance. Otherwise Sheela won't be able to go trick-or-treating. I've got him, trust me." He assured her as Ginny blanched and nodded her head fearfully before she went back inside.
