When The Worst Is Coming.
Chapter fifteen
Fear of the unknown.
"Ginny how are you?" Hermione asked stepping out of the fireplace and in to The Burrow, giving Ginny a small hug.
"I'm fine thanks, how are you? Wait, shouldn't you be in Bulgaria?" Ginny said in a rush, pleased yet puzzled to see her.
"Oh," Hermione's face fell. "I never went, he cancelled due to 'personal reasons'"
"Ouch," Ginny pulled a face.
"umm, anyway I wasn't particularly looking forward to it anyway."
"Look lets not even talk about Krum because he is not worth it," Ginny smiled hoping today she could cheer Hermione up.
"Hey," Ron said waking into the living room and spotting his best friend and his sister.
"Ron, me and Hermione are having a girly day, so get lost," Ginny said to her brother.
"Oh okay that's fine but then I suppose you wont want to read this owl I just got from Hedwig," Ron said waving a piece of parchment around.
"Owww a letter from Harry, what does it say?" Ginny giggled.
"Give me a chance I haven't read it yet, besides I thought you two were having 'a girly day'"
"Shut up Ron and read it before I get angry," Ginny said irritably.
Ron did so and suddenly went really pale as he skimmed over the letter he looked up and Hermione saw pain in his blue eyes, "What is it Ron?" Hermione said as Ginny took the letter carefully from Ron's clenched fist.
Hermione watched fear as Ginny's brown eyes widened while she read the letter, a large knot of worry settled in Hermione's stomach.
Finally Ginny finished reading, Hermione glanced at Ron who was still staring ahead his eyes staring at a unseen place, before Ginny fled from the room letter still in hand.
Hermione automatically followed, her feet pounding against the floor and yet her mind was numb. It seemed like she was always worrying over her Harry for some reason or another, but he was always okay in the end, unfortunately a part of her mind seemed to juxtapose this like some kind of a sick joke.
Once she spotted Ginny she found she was sitting alone in her room, a tear running down her cheek. Hermione didn't ask what was wrong, she did not trust her voice. She just picked up the crumpled parchment from the bed and read to herself.
Dear All,
Firstly I would like to express my deepest apologies for having to hear like this, because you are all most welcome to come to the castle but I doubt anyone there feels in the mood to take the time to express what is going on…
The letter went on to explain Harry's current situation, and the treatment (without going into too much detail, but it got the point across, that Harry would probably not survive) it also explained that it had been Sirius' decision.
Once again I would like to say how sorry I am and repeat that with your parent's permission you may visit, but I feel it will be extremely upsetting. Harry takes the first potion tomorrow at mid-day. Maybe see some of you then.
Albus Dumbledore.
Hermione let the letter drop to the floor, and sat next to Ginny, who was still crying she put an arm around her muttering comforting words while the tears running down her face gave away the fact that even she had little faith left in her own words.
**********
The Dark lord was standing pacing in front of a frightened Death Eater called Shadow (aka Clara) just after the latter had left her surveillance of The-Boy-That-Lived in her Animagus form, a black raven, this was Simply because she was tired of waiting for him to leave. '_Why_did she have to wait till he was leaving anyway?' Clara asked herself.
Anyway this had displeased her master greatly, looking back she realised that this had not been her greatest move that she had ever made, in fact a good 500 miles from it.
"You fool, you stupid naïve ignorant fool, by returning to me you have let the boy go." Voldemort hissed to the Death Eater.
"But master if I return now the boy will still be there, I have not left him for long." Clara quickly tried to back-pedal from the situation she had got herself into.
"Wrong, I'm afraid, I have been informed from seer that he left your house only five minutes ago."
"Oh shit, well I better just go home and check."
Voldemort cackled, "You my dear, are not going anywhere. Not until I think of a suitable punishment," he suddenly started another bout of the insane laughter, which brought fear to the victim and any which were unfortunate enough to hear.
A/N Please, please tell me what you think regarding ships in this story, no slash sorry but sara*magic is not a big slash fan, though I appreciate that it can be very well written. Anyway I prefer H/G and I do not mind H/R, but I am not a big fan of it prob coz I do not like Ron that much! Sorry he can be fun, but…I dunno there's something missing, don't flame its jus my opinion! Or no ships? Its up 2 you, tell me in your reviews.
There will be a death soon, an it will not be Clara, mwhahahaha.
Sorry that the plot has not really moved on much in this chapter, I will try and get the next one up soon, also my last exam is on Tuesday so I can update much more regularly after that. YAY! Oh yea, please review…
