Deatheaters' revenge, chapter one.

Author's notes...

I just bought the double DVD of Order of the Phoenix as it finally came out here yesterday a week later than promised. I have to say I was disappointed by the extra content. In particular I missed the cast interviews which we've had in the previous DVDs. I hope they do better with the final two.

I couldn't resist continuing a little further with my story. Let me know if you think it's worth continuing.

This is a sequel to Ginny and the muggles.

It was nearly six months after filming had been completed that Bonnie and Evanna were together again in London, this time with the other stars of the films for the usual round of interviews preceding the premier, both for television and for the extras that always accompany the double DVD of each film.

Although they'd been offered separate hotel rooms, Evanna had surprised everyone by insisting on sharing one with Bonnie, causing more than a few rumours, which both girls laughed off. Only Evanna knew the terrible nightmares which Bonnie still suffered and she didn't want to leave her alone.

The pace of interviews was relentless and Bonnie seemed to be tiring quicker than the others. She decided on an early night, then turned to Evanna. "You don't have to come with me. In fact, better if you don't. That would REALLY give them something to gossip about."

"You're okay?" asked Evanna, concerned for her friend.

"Yeah," nodded Bonnie, "just tired. I'll be better in the morning."

"I'll try not to wake you coming in."

But when Evanna returned that evening, Bonnie was moaning in the bed, sweat pouring off of her. She took Bonnie's hand and it seemed to calm her a little.

Suddenly she let out a loud scream and went rigid, before collapsing totally limp on the bed.

The nearest rooms were occupied by Dan, Rupert, Emma and Jeff, one of the computer effect technicians, who all had interviews the next morning about his work on the film. All four of them came running into the room together.

"What's happening?" Dan shouted when one of them finally managed to speak.

Evanna couldn't answer, she was in such a panic. She was sure this was effects of the cruciatus curse and she wished Ginny were here. Surely she'd know what to do.

A loud crack made her turn suddenly, then sigh with relief. "It's Bonnie," she began.

Ginny didn't need telling. "Oh, Merlin. I've got to get her to St. Mungo's." She flung herself over Bonnie's limp body and with another crack, they were both gone.

Evanna's "Let me know how..." was left hanging in the air as two of her best friends had disappeared.

She was left to face the shocked looks from the others.

"What just happened?" asked Rupert.

Evanna began to mumble something about tricks of the light. She knew it sounded feeble.

"Don't try to tell us that was a special effect," said the special effects guy.

She was grateful for the interruption as Matthew, James and Oliver came running in, both asking together, "What's going on?"

"Bonnie disappeared," said Emma.

"Bonnie?" replied James.

"But why would she run off?" asked Oliver.

"Not run off," said Emma.

"Disappeared," confirmed Dan.

"As in, one moment she was here, the next Ginny appeared out of nowhere, then they were both gone," Emma explained.

"Wicked," said the two twins together.

"But how?" added Matthew.

"We don't know," said Rupert.

"Evanna does," said Emma firmly.

"I... I..." mumbled Evanna.

"While we were all shocked and couldn't believe it, Evanna just looked relieved."

Evanna looked uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.

"Evanna?" asked Matthew.

"I can't say," cried Evanna, and then burst into tears.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Not far away another group was also in an animated discussion.

"So that damned film comes out soon. What are we doing to do about it?"

"What can we do?"

"Nothing. They've won."

"And now that... Potter... is a hero, along with all those blood traitors. I won't have it."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Me? We. We are going to make sure they don't get to enjoy it."

"Don't forget the mudblood."

"I won't forget her, don't worry. Not her, nor Potter's blood traitor bitch, nor the muggles that helped them. No. I won't forget any of them. You can be sure of that."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"What are you doing to her?" screamed Ginny as she watched another blue flash cause Bonnie's body to tense and relax suddenly.

"Restarting her heart. Keep back."

Another blue flash, then the mediwitch seemed to relax. "She should be okay now."

"What did you do?"

"A variation on a muggle technique, that's all. But what caused this collapse?"

"I don't know. I didn't have time to find out."

"We need to know if we're going to help her."

"I'll find out."

Ginny ran back to the entrance hall of the hospital, the only part of the hospital it was possible to apparate from, and ran straight into Ron and Hermione.

"What's going on?"

"Bonnie's hurt. She's upstairs."

"How?"

"I brought her. I've got to go back. The mediwitches want to know why she collapsed."

"We'll go with you," said Ron.

"But we ought to apparate nearby and enter normally, in case anyone sees," said Hermione.

"I, er... think it's a bit late for that, " Ginny admitted. "The room was full of people when I got Bonnie away."

"What have you done?" cried Ron.

"I didn't think."

"You never do."

"She was worried about Bonnie," said Hermione, defending her. "Let's go."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

They appeared in the bathroom attached to Bonnie and Evanna's room. They could hear arguing.

"But we have to tell someone."

"You can't."

"Why won't you tell us what happened? How did Ginny appear like that?" asked Emma. "And how did they disappear into thin air? It just isn't possible."

The bathroom door opened and Hermione stepped out. "Given what you apparently saw, I'd say that statement needs a rethink."

At the look of relief on Evanna's face, Ginny ran to hug her.

Emma was still looking at Hermione. "Who are you?"

Rob sniggered slightly. "She's you. Or to be more accurate, you're her."

Ginny and Hermione both rolled their eyes.

"Ron, you're not helping," said Hermione. "Are you okay, Evanna?"

"Yes. How's Bonnie?"

"They think she'll be okay," answered Ginny. "But they want to know what made her collapse like that."

"I don't know. I think she was having another nightmare and she just went rigid."

Ginny turned to Hermione and Ron. "I have to go and let them know at the hospital."

"Okay."

Ginny walked into the bathroom and there was a slight cracking sound. Rupert ran into the bathroom, which was now empty. "She's gone. How? Who are you people?"

"And what have you done with Bonnie?" asked Matthew. "If you've done anything to her, I'll..."

Evanna giggled, until Ron took out his wand.

"Ron! What are you doing?" snapped Hermione.

"Obliviating them. The same as always. What?" he added looking at her frowning face.

"I suppose I knew you had to do that, part of your job and everything. But I just don't like it."

"It doesn't do any harm. They don't know anything afterwards."

"But what gives wizards the right to interfere with muggles' memories?" she protested.

"It's necessary. To keep our world secret. And it's the way it's always been done."

"So wizards decide what's best for everyone else. And what anyone else thinks doesn't matter."

"Like house elves you mean?"

Hermione's growing anger subsided a little. "Touché! Okay. I admit. I shouldn't have tried to force them to be free. But the way wizards have treated other species..."

The others in the room looked from one to another as this verbal battle continued, until there was a cracking sound from the bathroom.

"What's going on?" asked Ginny, not noticing the stunned look on Matthew's face.

"They're arguing about house elves," explained Evanna.

"Oh. Again? Still?"

Evanna nodded.

"Ron. Hermione. Listen to me," Ginny said loudly. "You're both right and you're both wrong."

"Huh?"

"Ron. You know how wizards have treated elves for centuries has been wrong. Don't pretend you don't think that. And Hermione, you know that forcing your ideas on elves whether they want it or not is little better. Education is one thing. But you can teach them about freedom, but you have to leave them free to choose it, or it isn't freedom."

Hermione had the grace to look ashamed. "When did you suddenly get so wise?"

"I had a lot of time to think, while you three were off saving the world. Especially when I was hidden away being useless. There wasn't much else to do."

"Somebody tell us what's going on. Who are these two?" demanded Dan.

"Later, Dan," snapped Evanna. "Ginny. How's Bonnie?"

Ginny's face fell.

"Ginny?"

"She's okay, for now. They think she'll come round soon."

"Why do I get the feeling there's a but coming?" said Emma.

Ginny sighed. "Every time she relieves that memory, it could give a shock to her system like that. Evanna. If you hadn't been here..."

"Memory?" That was Emma.

Ginny ignored the question. "Evanna. It means that someone has to be with her all the time who can call us if it happens again."

"Why do you think we share a room?" Evanna explained. The look on the boys faces gave her a few ideas on that. "No, thank you very much. And yes, we knew that's what everyone thought."

"Is she like that a lot?" asked Ginny.

"Quite often. Normally her parents wake her up sooner. So do I, but I wasn't here. I should have come up with her. I nearly killed her didn't I?"

"No!" Ginny nearly shouted. "If it's anyone's fault it's mine. I shouldn't have got close to her, or you."

"Ginny," said Hermione quietly. "We've been over this. You've been spending too much time with Harry. You don't have to blame yourself for everything someone else does."

"But..."

"Or perhaps you'd prefer to have been able to protect Bonnie and have us all at war right now?" added Ron.

"No. But it's so unfair."

Ron turned to Hermione. "You see why I have to obliviate them? It's safer for them."

"Ginny. Did the mediwitches say this could happen again?"

She nodded miserably. "It's almost certain. The nightmares are so powerful. And if someone doesn't wake her in time or get her to St. Mungo's if they can't wake her..." At that point Ginny did something she was still proud she rarely did. She broke down in tears.

Hermione hugged her tightly. "It's okay. You don't have to be ashamed for caring about someone." She blinked a few tears from her own eyes.

All this time the others stood around not knowing what to make of what was going on.

Emma turned to Evanna. "Can someone please explain?"

Evanna looked at Hermione in a panic. Hermione glanced at Ron, who said nothing.

"There's no easy way to say this. To put it simply, everything in the seven books is true. This is Ginny, but her real surname is Ginny Weasley. This is her brother Ron and I'm Hermione Granger."

"But not for long," said Ron proudly.

Hermione had to laugh. "No. Not for long."

"You are kidding, right?" said Rupert.

"No. They're not," said Jeff, the effects technician, who had remained silent to that point. "When Ginny was staying with Evanna and Bonnie during filming and their trailer burned. It wasn't normal fire. Nothing could put it out. We tried, when we thought you were in there. Afterwards everyone said it was fire used by the SFX department, but we knew it wasn't."

"SFX?" asked Ron.

"Special effects. We were so relieved when we found out you weren't in there," he added to Evanna.

"Actually, we were," she replied. "Ginny got us out, the same way she made Bonnie disappear earlier."

"And there were other times, strange noises like little explosions, like when Ginny went into the bathroom and disappeared just now. Put down to effects again, but they weren't. And people being bumped into by someone, but when they looked there was nobody there."

Evanna giggled.

"What?" Asked Hermione.

"Luna wasn't as used to the invisibility cloak as Harry. She used to bump into people, especially if we went snooping around together. It was fun making people jump like that. We even sneaked food out of the kitchens a few times. But Luna said we couldn't take much or people would get suspicious and think Ron was there."

Hermione laughed at that, while Ron looked mildly annoyed.

"Luna knows you too well, Ron," laughed Hermione.

"I just get hungry," he protested.

"We know," giggled Ginny.

Determined to get back to the point, Emma asked, "So you're trying to tell us all this stuff about wizards an' stuff is true?"

"Yes," answered Evanna.

"But what has this got to do with Bonnie?"

"And why did Ginny have to take her away?" added Rupert.

"You're as bad as me," laughed Hermione. "Won't let anyone avoid the subject for long."

"Yeah," laughed Ginny.

"Though I hear you think you're not as annoying," said Hermione smoothly.

Emma reddened at the memory of that interview. Hermione saved her embarrassment by saying, "It's okay. I probably was. And to answer your question... Oh hold on, we should have done this before." She took out her wand, pointed it at the door and said quietly, "Muffliato."

She put her wand away. "Now nobody can hear us," she explained. "Yes, all this stuff about wizards and witches is true. I'm not saying everything in the books is exactly as it was, but basically it's a true story. Our true story."

"You mean there really is a Harry Potter?" Dan asked.

Ginny smiled. "Yes. There really is." She brought up her hand to show a ring.

"That's beautiful," exclaimed Emma. "What an unusual stone?"

"That was Harry's idea. He took a black onyx stone and a bright red ruby from Afganistan, and as the onyx is softer, he embedded them both inside a diamond."

"That's impossible," objected Emma.

"Not for Harry," shrugged Ginny.

This time it was Rupert to get them back on the subject. "If you girls can forget jewellery for a minute, I still don't see what all this has to do with Bonnie."

"After the war, we found out Umbridge was taking control of the filming of film seven," explained Hermione. "She was making small changes at first, causing accidents..:"

"I remember," said Jeff. "The SFX department got the blame for some of them."

"Harry and Ginny came to investigate what was going on. Ginny, as you know, got a job with you all. Harry stayed around using the invisibility cloak."

"The trouble was," added Ginny, "that Evanna somehow knew who I was straightaway. Then when we were trapped by the fire, I had to apparate away with her and Bonnie, so they both knew."

"We'd be dead if it wasn't for Ginny," said Evanna.

"Then Ron and the other aurors found out that Umbridge was trying to kill Bonnie, to make an excuse to change the ending, so Voldemort would win."

"Actually we didn't know all that," objected Ron.

"I'm cutting a long story short," snapped Hermione. "She arranged death-eater attacks to make Voldemort's return believable, and after the film came out would have caused a war between muggles and wizards, to force wizards to defeat the muggles and rule over them."

"So what stopped her?" asked Emma.

"Bonnie," said Ginny simply.

"Bonnie? How?" exclaimed Dan.

"That's not quite the whole story," said Hermione. "Umbridge had caught Harry by surprise and disarmed him and had him trapped..."

"But that would have made her mistress of the Elder wand..." exclaimed Emma.

Hermione looked at her with some admiration. "You know, nobody else realised that, apart from Umbridge and Harry, of course. Perhaps we should have had you with us in year seven."

Emma smiled, though slightly embarrassed at the praise.

"Anyhow. Bonnie interrupted them. Umbridge thought she was Ginny, and put her under the cruciatus curse, to torture her into insanity in front of Harry. Then Ginny apparated into the room and disarmed Umbridge. Bonnie was in St. Mungo's but Ginny had to play Bonnie playing Ginny for some of the final scenes."

"So that explains it," said Jeff.

"Explains what?" asked Ginny.

"I'm going out with one of the make-up girls," he explained. "And she said it was funny that Bonnie's skin and hair texture was a bit different in the last scenes, so she had to change the make-up she was using."

"So what happened to Bonnie?" asked Rupert.

"She was released, and she's okay most of the time. But she gets terrible nightmares about Umbridge," said Evanna. "But I never realised they were actually dangerous."

"Look," said Emma. "I know you want to make us forget, use the oblimate charm..."

"Obliviate," corrected Hermione.

"Sorry, obliviate charm on us. But if we know, can't we all look after Bonnie? The way things are going over the release of the final film, we're all going to be around her for months. If she has a relapse, we can call you."

"She's making sense, Ron."

He sighed. "Kingsley's going to kill me, you know?"

"Don't worry, little brother," said Ginny, hugging the brother who towered over her, "I'll protect you."

Everyone laughed at that.

Not to forget a single thing, Emma asked, "So, Ginny. You're now mistress of the Elder wand?"

"No," she admitted, a shadow crossing her face. "Harry made sure of that."

"He drugged her," explained Hermione, "then had a retired auror attack and disarm her, even though he didn't know why. When the auror died, the Elder wand's power was broken forever."

"He attacked Ginny just because Harry asked him to? Without knowing why?" exclaimed Rupert.

"You'd have to know Harry," explained Evanna. "He just makes you want to follow him. The way everyone looked at him at Hogwarts, it was like he was a god."

"You've been to Hogwarts?" cried Emma and the next hour was spent with the others badgering Evanna to tell them all about Hogwarts. Hermione, Ron and Ginny slipped away, almost unnoticed.
