"Happy Birthday!" It was February and the whole gang was together to celebrate Daphne's birthday. Harry had organised getting everyone to his place and spent the day pretending he didn't know what the day was.

"You bastard!" Daphne near shouted, turning to face Harry. "I though-"

"Like I'd forget your birthday," Harry said, leaning down to give Daphne a kiss. "Now then say hello to everyone." He finished, slightly pushing her into the room with a slap on the arse.

"Dick!" Daphne called back before going to mingle with her friends. While she was off talking, Harry's phone rang. Looking at it, he noticed it was an unknown number.

Leaving the room to answer the call somewhere quieter. He answered and spoke into the phone.

"Hello?"

"It's nice to hear from you again, Mr Potter." Came the rough voice on the other end of the line.

"I wish I could say the same, Greengrass." Harry growled.

"That's no way to speak to your future father-in-law, boy! You better listen well, or things will be messy for you rather quickly.

"Destroy any and all evidence you hold again me and my wife. You wouldn't be able to convict us anyway, this will just make my life easier. If you fail to comply, well, I'm sure you wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious family.

"Keep my daughters in the dark. Destroy your evidence and everything will be okay. Understood?"

"Okay..."

-=- HP -=-

Daphne was awoken one night to the sound of her ringing.

"Hello?" She asked into the phone.

"Daphne?" Came the timid voice on the other end of the phone, it belonged to Ginny. "C-Can you and Harry come pick me up? I... I don't feel safe."

It was a Thursday night and Ginny said she was staying around a guy's house. However, it was clear that it didn't go to plan.

"Ginny, what happened? Where are you?" Daphne asked, leaning over to shake Harry awake.

"It was a trick, Daph... she set me up... she's coming back... please, I'll text you the address... please hurry." The line went dead, a few seconds later Daphne received a text. Harry took one look at it and his eyes went dark.

"Harry?" Daphne whispered, concerned.

"She's with Susan." He simply said, before rushing to get changed. Quickly getting dressed herself, Daphne climbed into Harry's car with him and he sped off.

Less than ten minutes later, they arrived. Harry rushed out of the car, before throwing the front door open.

"Ahh," Susan said, turning to face Harry. "If it isn't my little brother?"

"Where's Ginny?" Harry growled.

"Well that's not very nice, is it?" Susan laughed, "You came all this way and you won't even say hello? Mummy and Daddy would be very cross with you!"

Daphne's breath hitched. How could someone as kind as Amelia raise such a bitch?

"I'll ask once more. Where is she?" Harry growled back, taking a dangerous step towards the girl.

"If you must know, see for yourself..." Susan threw open a pair of curtains to reveal Ginny naked and beaten, tied to a goal post in the backyard. There was a boy standing next to her, hitting her with his fits.

Seeing this, Daphne burst into tears. Harry, however, simply took out his phone and aimed the camera towards Ginny.

"I always knew you were a perverted one, little brother. What, is the blonde not doing it for you anymore? Here, let me get in the shot for you." Daphne looked up at Harry, anger in her eyes. How dare he capture Ginny like that in a moment of shame!

"Nope, but I know your Aunt would just love to see what you've done." Harry responded. "Either let her go NOW, or this gets sent straight to her!" He shouted. Susan looked back at him in disgust, before knocking on the window. The man outside untied Ginny before grabbing her by the hair and dragging her back into the house. Finally he threw her to the floor by Harry's feet.

"Daphne, pick her up. There should be some blankets in the car. Start the car while you're there, we need to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible." Harry said with a deadly calm in his voice. Once Daphne got Ginny up and into the car. She covered her with said blanket and climbed in herself after starting the car. What she happened next shook her.

Harry came rushing towards the car, followed by Susan. She picked up a brick from the floor and threw it into the window of the car, smashing the glass. Covering her face and Ginny's body, she saw the car felt the car start to move.

"What happened?" Daphne asked Harry, fear in her voice.

"I meant to delete the picture, but my shaking hands accidentally sent it to Amelia." He responded with a smirk. "She isn't getting away with this."

Harry's phone started to ring and he handed it to Daphne to answer.

"Hello?" She called.

"Daphne... please... tell me that wasn't real..." She could hear Amelia's broken voice from over the phone.

"I'm sorry... I can't..." Daphne responded, tears pooling in her eyes.

"Do you have the victim with you?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah, Harry is currently driving to the hospital." Daphne replied.

"In that case, I'll meet you there. I've already sent officers out to... arrest my niece..." Amelia said before ending the call.

"This is going to break her..." Harry mumbled to himself.

"I know..." Daphne whispered back.

-=- HP -=-

Daphne sat in the waiting room of the AE department, her knee bouncing in worry. Harry walked over and handed her a small overpriced coffee.

"Here..." he whispered, taking a seat next to her. "I used her phone to contact her family and they are on their way..."

"Oh god Harry, what if she couldn't have rang me?" Daphne cried.

"We don't think about 'what if's. We focus on the fact that she is alive. She is safe now, Daph." Harry said, before placing a kiss on her forehead.

Just then a large group of redheads rushed through the door. The female of the group rushed to the reception desk.

"Hello? Is my Ginny, okay?" She cried at the sleep deprived receptionist.

"Mrs. Weasley?" Harry got up and called to the woman. Taking a few strides over, he said. "My name is Harry Potter, I rang you?"

"Oh my dear boy!" She whispered before pulling him into a hug and saying 'thank you' over and over again. "You save my little girl!"

"I shouldn't take all the credit, Mrs Weasley. My girlfriend, Daphne, was the one who Ginny contacted." He said, trying to calm the woman down.

"Mrs Weasley..." Came a voice before behind them. "My name is Police Chief Amelia Bones... I would like to apologize..."

"What for?" Said the oldest of the men, clearly Mr Weasley.

"It was my niece, Susan, that did this to your daughter. Right now she is on her way to a holding cell. I want you to know, I am treating this as if it's any other perpetrator. I don't know where I went wrong with raising that girl..." Amelia explained, tears falling for her own eyes.

Mrs Weasley let go of Harry before taking small steps towards the woman. Before anyone could do anything, Mrs Weasley was hugging Amelia.

At that moment, a nurse came out to speak to the family. After pulling Mr and Mrs Weasley into a small meeting room, the other Weasleys all took a seat. Amelia pulled out a notepad and turned to Harry.

"You've been through this before, you know what's coming..." She said.

"How has he been through this before? Has this happened to Ginny before?!" The youngest redhead shouted.

"No, however, this will be the second time Harry has given a statement to me. The first time was when he was just five. So then, what happened?" Amelia responded.

"Around two hours ago, Daphne received a phone call from Ginny. She stated that she was in danger, claimed a female had tricked her. You see, she indicated that tonight she would be staying with an unknown male.

"Before she could explain more, she hung up and texted her an address. I, of course, recognized it straight away. After all, I do OWN the house."

"What?!" A redhead yelled. "She was your tenant?!"

"No, she was basically my sister..." Harry responded. He could see that Amelia was starting to get annoyed at the interruptions. "When I got there, I had a stand off with Susan. I demanded that she gave us Ginny. She simply pulled open the curtains and we could see Ginny tied to a football post, stripped of her clothes being beaten by an unknown male.

"By this point, I knew I couldn't let her get away with it. So I took that image that I sent you and threatened to show you unless she released Ginny. Once she released her, I got Daphne to take her into the car and wrap her up warm.

"She demanded that I deleted the image, however, I sent it to you and bolted. Susan threw a brick through my rear window as we drove off. You know the rest from there..."

Silence rang amongst the Weasleys before the youngest spoke.

"So, what you're saying is... you took a picture of my sister naked?!" He shouted, only to get slapped around the face by Daphne.

"You shut your mouth! He saved your sister from dying and you worry about how he got evidence to make sure she couldn't be hurt again?!" Daphne screamed before getting up and walking out of the waiting room.

Harry quickly got up and chased after her.

-=- HP -=-

Just as they were turning the corner, Mr Weasley stuck his head out of a room.

"Do you two want to sit in here, this seems like it could be important to you two as well..." he said to Harry and Daphne.

"If you are sure?" Daphne began. Her anger fading at the broken look on Mr Weasley's face.

"You're her housemate, and Harry saved her. I think you deserve to be in the loop." He responded, opening up the door some more. When they both got into the room, they sat down on the free chairs and faced to listen to the nurse. Daphne took ahold of Mrs Weasley's hand in-order to offer her some comfort.

"As I was saying, Ginny is suffering from multiple broken bones, internal bleeding and possible permanent nerve damage. The full extent of the damage can not be determined till after she has undergone surgery and is awake again. However, there is a fear that she may never be able to properly use her limbs again..." The nurse concluded, looking solemnly at the four.

"What... what about her sports course?" Daphne asked, trying to grasp onto something normal.

"There is every chance that she won't be able to play physical sports again..."

At those words, Mrs Weasley broke down, followed by Daphne. The two clung to each other, trying to find some sort of comfort. Mr Weasley stared blankly at the wall before getting up claiming he needed some air. Harry got up and helped him outside.

In the waiting room, Amelia walked up the Harry. After he explained what they'd just been told, he continued to help Mr Weasley outside.

Amelia turned to the rest of the family before sighing and sitting down in-front of them.

"Listen kids..." She began.

-=- HP -=-

The surgery was a successes and Ginny was moved off the intensive care ward she was placed on just before. As soon as she was able to, Astoria was up there just about everyday, all day. Daphne had offered her room in the shared house for the Weasley couple so they could stay close by, however, the rest of their family left to only visit when they could.

In the newspapers, the day after the attack, the story was reported on. Amelia stated that even in one million years she wouldn't defend her niece's actions. She visited Susan in her holding cell once, just to tell her that she no longer considered her family.

The trial was as quick as it could have been, Susan Bones and the now named Draco Malfoy were sentenced to twenty years in prison each. Amelia was praised for not allowing her Niece to go, to which she always responded with: 'I don't have a Niece anymore...'

A week after the surgery, Ginny was starting to wake up. When asked how she felt, she stated she couldn't feel her legs. Hoping it was an effect of the sedatives, they waited two more days. No change.

Ginny Weasley had lost the use of her legs.

-=- A / N -=-

Now, before you all start to kill me, let me explain. Ginny - from the beginning - was always meant to endure this. It will lead to more character growth in the future.

While she may not be able to play sports anymore, it doesn't mean she won't still play an important role in Harry and Daphne's story.

Just keep that in mind for next time, so - until then - don't forget to favourite, follow and review!
