Chapter Twenty: Ginny Weasley
Ginny Weasley sat in silence, tears falling unchecked and unnoticed down her pale cheeks. Her knees were drawn up close to her chest as tightly as she could with out aggravating the obviously broken ribs, courtesy of her loving brother.
In one hand a crumpled piece of parchment was clasped tightly in her balled fist, the other hand was holding a bloody rag she had used to mop up the blood that had been streaming steadily from her nose. All because she wouldn’t let Ron see who she was writing to. She had told him that it was none of his business but he had thrown her against the steps and had forcefully tried to take the letter from her hand. She had managed to keep him from seeing the letter but the end results were something that she could definitely done with out. Ron had it in his head that she knew where Hermione was and he was planning on making her tell him. She had repeatedly told hhat hat she didn’t have any idea what he was talking about, and that Hermione was dead and he needed to get on with his life. Of course she knew that Hermione was safe and sound and Ron would never hurt her again. But it seemed that now that Hermione was no longer Ron’s stress reliever he had dubbed her as the replacement.
It was one thing to be beaten by your brother but there were lines that one didn’t cross, ones that he had no regards for and it had sickened her at what a monster her brother had become.
Ginny had tried to tell her mother and father what had happened but Ron had beaten her to them. He had told them that it was obvious that she was still obed wed with Harry Potter and would do anything to break up their family. So now her whole family was against her, except Bill and Charlie. But there wasn’t much that they could do from their respective homes in Egypt and Romania.
It was time to get out before something worse happened, although after last night Ginny wasn’t sure that it could get any worse.
She slowly unwrinkled the letter that was still clutched tightly in her hand. She smoothed it out as best as she could and made sure that none of the words were illegible. Seeing that it was still in good shape she rushed to find Pig. Her parents were still gone trying to find out where Ron was so she had free run of the house. Personally she hoped that they never found him, although death would be too good for him.
Finally finding the little owl she quickly tied the letter to his leg and threw him out the window. Running back up to her room she scanned what little she had and gathered up what she wanted to keep. She knew that it wouldn’t be long and someone would come for her. She just needed to be ready for when they did.

Lucius was debating on when they should leave. They had come back from the dungeons and had gone immediately to Tom telling him to expect a swift retaliation for the kidnapping of the Weasley twit. That was another thing that they were trying to decide on. What to do with the little bastard.
Remus wanted to kill him as soon as possible and leave his mauled and mutilated body either in front of the Ministry or in front of Hogwarts. His reasoning was that he didn’t want that filth around his daughter or even in the near vicinity of her for more time that was necessary.
Athena and Narcissa had agreed that Hermione should be the one to decide on what to do with the boy. After all he was the one that had caused her all the pain that she had had to endure. Their end agreement was to let Hermione be his judge, jury and executioner.
Lucius was afraid that Hermione would have a relapse and would loose everything that she had gained back over the last few months if she was even in the same room as the boy. She had come so far in such a short span of time and he was afraid of jeopardizing her mental health along with her physical health especially her being with child. Lucius had come to care quite a lot for the young girl in the short time that she had been there, and when they had found out that she was also his niece only made it that much better. He just didn’t want to see her get hurt again.
On the other hand Severus was wanting to see what Harry’s reaction would be more so than Hermione’s. Harry had bottled up a lot of anger and aggression when it came to the Weasley boy and he would rather enjoy watching what his son could do when properly motivated. Some would think that to be a terrible thing to say but Severus was rather sadistic and for him to be able to watch his son unleash the power and the darkness that he was truly capable of would be phenomenal. Severus knew that he wasn’t the only one thinking along these same lines.
He glanced over at Tom and seen the same gleam and malicious smirk on his face that Severus was also sure he himself had been donning. After all what Dark Lord wouldn’t want to see his own Heir in action. To see his grandson show them all exactly what it was to be the Heir of the Darkest Dark Lord since before Merlin. Many had believed that title had belonged to Grindewald. But that was just another ploy of Dumbledore’s to keep people following him and keeping them in believing that he was the most powerful wizard around. But that was simple not true, at least not anymore. Dumbledore hadn’t realized it yet, and probably never would, that the Light had lost this war long before they even realized there would be a war. They had lost it the day that Albus Dumbledore had created “Harry s Pos Potter”.
Lucius finally realized that they needed to stop this discussion and start preparing to leave. He nodded his head toward Tom. Tom stood suddenly causing the room to become silent.
The Dark Lord smiled, to have that kind of power was a beautiful thing, but before he could say anything a small house-elf peeked into the door trembling terribly.
Lucius seeing this stood and approached the terrified creature.
“Who is your Master elf, and what are you doing in Malfoy Manor?” He snarled. It was better to be intimidating and cautious then nice and dead.
Winky swallowed audibly, “Winky is having no Master, Sir.” She bowed low to the ground exposing the back of her neck, a sign of complete submission. “Winky is having an important matter to talk with you about Master Malfoy sir.”
Lucius was intrigued. This elf was the one that Crouch had sacked prior to his ‘unfortunate’ death. He never could stand that pitiful excuse of a wizard or his son for that matter. Crouch Jr. had been a bit overly enthusiastic, as well as his insane sister-in-law Bellatrix LeStrange. They had gone off the deep end and had gone after the Longbottom’s for reasons only their own. Had Tom been in corporal form he would have killed them before the Aurors had a chance to get their hands on them.
“Speak Elf, there is no one here that is untrustworthy.” Lucius spoke harshly wondering if this wasn’t some elaborate plan of Dumbledore’s to get into the Manor.
Winky bowed again and kept her eyes to the ground. “I has been a bad house-elf. I has been spying on the old Headmaster Dumbledore. Winky is knowing that Headmaster Dumbledore is being a mad wizard and is doing very bad things. But Winky is a good elf and old Dumbledore isn’t be knowing that Winky has been following him, trying to catch him being a bad wizard.” Winky took a deep breath before she continued. “He isn’t knowing that Winky took the dead man from the dungeons. That bad wizard was going to hurting Master Harry’s godfather. Winky is a good elf. Winky rescued Master Harry’s dog man from the chains that held him to the wall in the deepest darkest cell in the Hogwarts dungeons.”
Remus looked sharply up at Lucius, “No it can’t be true, this is nothing but another trick of that fucking manipulating old bastard!” Remus fell to his knees sobbing and Athena rushed to comfort her distraught husband.
Lucius rushed over to the shaking elf and pulled his wand out of his cane, pointing it at the creatures head he whispered in a deadly calm voice, “You had better be telling the truth or my wand will be the last thing you see!”
Winky nodded furiously, “Winky is telling the truth Sir, he is being in the kitchens now Sir!”
Before Lucius could turn toward Remus to tell him to stay put so that they could check it out first Remus was running out the door toward the kitchens.
Running at full speed he almost collided with a befuddled looking Draco as he slid to a stop out side the kitchen entry way, not wanting to think about Draco at that second he walked slowly forward.
Remus reached the kitchen door and stopped, he was almost afraid to open that door and see what was waiting for him. If this were a joke he would hunt down Dumbledore tonight and rip his throat out.
Taking a deep breath Remus reached out and grasped the kitchen door; pulling it open slowly he peered inside and gasped.
“Siri?” his voice trembled and then the tears began pouring down his cheeks.
“Oh God Moony, I didn’t think I would ever see you again!” Sirius sobbed into Remus’s robes clutching at him desperately wanting to reassure himself that this was real and he wasn’t dreaming again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t know. God how I wished that I could change what happened, what James and Dumbledore did. I swear on my life that I will do everything that I can to help you find Athena and your daughter. I swear it Moony, I swear.” Sirius cried as he began to shake from exhaustion.
Remus looked up at his best friend and smiled, “Siri, we found them. They are here and safe.” Remus said softly as Sirius raised his head with disbelief.
“That is the best thing that I have heard in a long time, old friend, is Harry… is… he ok?” Sirius asked quietly.
Remus smiled, “He is better than ok. And there is so much that we have to tell you but first we need to get to a safer location. It is too dangerous to stay here any longer.”
Sirius smiled, “Where ever you lead I will follow my dear Moony.”
