Ch- 10 In the Library PART IRon sat on the stone beside him. His eyes looked at Hermione in disbelief.
Her eyes were red and puffy but she wasn't crying anymore.
"Was I wrong?" Unable to bear the silence, Ron finally asked.
"No. You weren't."
"Then why was she behaving that way?"
Hermione looked up at him. Her eyes steady, not watery any more. She explained to him why she had pulled her hand back.
"Look Ron, this wasn't Ginny. I don't know, the way she said her last words here, it just didn't seem it was our Ginny who was talking."
"You mean she was bewitched?"
"Exactly. The same way she had been in her first year."
Too much of tension for Ron. He couldn't remember the last time he had cracked a joke or for that matter, even laughed. Ron realised it was no point wasting time. He just wanted his favourite thing in the world- food.
"Eh, Hermione? Can we please go to hogsmeade. I am starving like hell."
"'K. We need to get a move on." Hermione held out her hand, which Ron caught to get up.
Ron gestured towards Hermione to hold his hand so that they could apparate to hogsmeade but Hermione said, "Ron, do you mind if I do it this time?"
Ron smiled, "Of course not darling."
'Darling'? This guy was seriously going crazy. Hermione thought.
After a last look at their surroundings, Hermione and Ron apparated.
"They reached hogsmeade and had a light breakfast in one of the restaurants. Ron wondered if Ginny would be here but then nothing could be more awkward than meeting his sister in the middle of hogsmeade, so he pushed away the idea.
A waitress came, handed the bill and went away after the collecting the trays.
They payed 3 galleons and 12 sickles and then went to the library.
"Do you know where it is?" Hermione asked.
"No. But there is no harm finding one, is there?" Ron said.
They took directions and went the directed way.
The library was huge, after all it was the Hogwarts library.
Books were neatly stacked on all shelves. It was an absolute replica of the Hogwarts library except for the obvious fact that it was not in Hogwarts.
"Wow. Hello?" Ron's voice echoed through the massive shelves of books.
"Indeed, wow. I am coming here after aeons."
She picked up a book. Stroked its spine, opened it. The smell seemed to fill even more enthusiasm in her.
"Let's do it Ron. So should we search the Prophet first?"
Ron nodded. "Yeah. The most likely place to have anything in relevance with the Grillman. Which brings me to the fact, how many days have passed since we last read the Daily Prophet?"
Hermione replied, "I don't know. The last article was the one about..."
She stopped at the thought of mentioning Ginny. Ron understood that she was uncomfortable.
"Right. Do you think Madam Pince would be here?"
"Why do we need her? The newspapers are stacked right there. Lets go get yesterday's copy."
Hermione went up to a table and handed one copy of to Ron while taking another for herself.
Their jaws dropped when they read the headlines.
Another good ending!One suggestion that I have is that they should maybe be a bit more worried about Ginny. It seemed like they had dismissed the idea of her being possessed so quickly. Maybe you could just drag it out a little bit more.
Don't worry. I've planned for something in the second part.POP QUIZ- can u guess what the headline might be? :-)
Part IIThe two of them gazed at what was in front of them. Surely that wasn't possible. Hermione read out the article-
LOST AND FOUND
Harry Potter who was reportedly lost is now back again. Sources say he was sighted near his friend, Ronald Weasleys house after five days of his mysterious disappearance. Meanwhile, our minister of magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt has been missing form his hospital ward. People say he must have been engulfed by the fire. There are theories regarding the ministers sudden disappearance from St. Mungo's Hospital which was in the news for its fire tragedy. Kingsley had been rescued by Hermione Granger, Ginny and Ron Weasley from his room in Bags and Cases where he had been found severely injured.
Also, witnesses say that two men were seen who didn't look like healers and are suspected to be behind the fire. Although, there whereabouts are unknown, search. Is being made for them.
There is speculation that the person behind both the disappearances is one only.
For more, turn to page 9 and 10.
"Do you realise this Ron?" Hermione looked at him taking her eyes of the newspaper.
"Hell, I do." Replied Ron.
"Why didn't anybody inform us? I bet Harry was found the night Kingsley was rescued. Remember our patronuses weren't working that day."
Ron thought he was about to burst. "Harry's is back. Kingsley is gone. Ginny doesn't know. Why is this happening to us?"
He kicked the chair beside him.
"I have no idea. Poor Ginny. Now I'm sure she was possessed." Said Hermione.
"Those Grillmans. Uhhh! I am gonna make sure each one of them is dead. They are so gonna pay for this. What had Ginny done? She wasn't even allowed to participate in the rebellion against Voldemort. I guess her only fault was being Harry's girlfriend!" Ron growled.
Hermione tried to comfort him. She didn't want another fight between Ron and Harry, the first one happening just months back. She tried to reason with him.
"Ron even you know it's not Harry's fault. He couldn't help it. I suggest we go back to the burrow right now, fond Harry, and then come back here for something on the Grillmans. How about that?"
Ron understood her point but was still unsure. He now understood what Ginny must have been feeling when Harry was missing.
"I have to agree. What if we pick up a few Daily Prophets, huh? We can carry them in your moleskin bag. Then we won't have to come back." He suggested.
"Fine. Where's my wand?"
She pulled it out of her pocket and cried "Accio prophets!"
From the nearest cupboards assembled a collection of newspapers from all times.
"I reckon we should sort them according to their dates. Do it fast Ron"
Ron separated two sets of newspapers and after about half an hour their work was done.
"We're done here. Put these in your bag."
Hermione pulled out her wand and did the spell again.
The newspapers were kept in her bag.
"It's. time to meet Harry, Ron." She whispered to him
Ron nodded.
"Yeah. I want to ask him. Who did this? Do the honours Hermione."
Ron held Hermione's hand and they were off to the burrow.
Well, now I feel like a bit of an idiot for not being able to guess that title. (Not that it's really obvious!) Probably one of my favorite chapters yet!
I love writing these chapters, especially the endings!Thanks for reading and reviewing.
And maybe I was being stupid asking that question when I hadn't posted the part II. An author isn't supposed to do that, is she?
;-)
An author can do whatever he or she wants to do. :) The power of writing!
My god Nani! It's is the stroke of a genius. I haven't read the whole yet but I'll tell you what I think so far..........the story is very well structured and written. You have donned the writer's cap and written it using your own elements while the capturing the essence of the story in all its best. The extension to the original story seems natural and a is delightful read for all the Harry Potter fans. Good luck with the rest of the story. Hope to read more from you.
P.s. though I absolutely love the story, there are a few places where I believe the story could be personified and the descriptions elaborated. I'll be happy to point these out but only if you wish. Let me know.
Manasvi! U r not supposed to call me Nani!For those who don't know, Manasvi is my school friend and they have nicknamed me Nani.
And as said earlier all suggestions are welcome!
You both can tell me abt Ur viewpoints and I'll make sure that I edit my story!
Thank for reading!
:-D
Ch-11 What happens in Burrow....."Are we there?" Ron asked as they both landed on the steps of the Burrow.
"Doubtful?" Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"Not any more." He grinned.
"Move in, shall we?" Hermione said opening the door.
The door wasn't bolted, it was open. They stepped in. The same burrow. Nothing changed except for the fact that the situation was a bit out of control.
Ron gazed at what stood in front of him. He could smell sausages being fried. Ah! He missed Mrs Weasley and her food. He could give anythng to sit on his favorite seat and munch anything that his mother made. On the couch in front he could see two people. One whose face had an uncanny resemblance with his and another whose eyes said it all. Behind those glasses who could see the pain. A lightning shaped scar on his forehead reminded Ron of the dark times and that it wasn't over. Now that Harry is Ginny is not. All that he could manage to say was, "Hi."
"Oh my God! Harry. Mr Weasley. I can't tell I missed you so much." Hermione said
Harry got up from the couch and rushed towards Hermione to give her a big, tight hug.
"Ron." He said as he moved towards him to give him the same hug. Ron simply returned it.
"Where have you been? We've been mad all the time." Ron said, curious to know who was behind all this.
"Yes. Harry, What happened?!" Hermione asked.
Harry explained everything to them while Mr Weasley went inside the kitchen to talk to Molly Weasley.
Hermione's jaws dropped. Ron was speechless.
They'd been right then. About the Grillmans. But now I new question arised.
"What do we do about Ginny? We need to find her!" Harry said.
"You two really can't be without each other can you? Ginny was all Harry when you were gone."
This angered Hermione. She smacked Ron.
"RONALD WEASLEY! That happens to be your sister who is lost. And Harry is your best friend."
"I know that. But the point is that well find Ginny anyway. We know where Harry was kept dont we?"
"Actually Ron, I don't. I just know the village. They never let me out of the house. I was more like a prisoner but wasn't ill treated." Harry replied.
"Oh no! That means we still are clueless." Hermione said.
"On the plus side we're sure who it is. The Grillman. We can notify Aurors to check their records, now that Kinglsey is gone, they are our only hope."
"Ron is right. We need to be off tomorrow morning at most. The Aurors need to be told. Harry do you know anything about this place you were kept in?" Hermione said.
"Sorry Hermione. But I have no idea. Maybe my apparition can be tracked. Maybe they'll know where I came from."
"Maybe." Hermione said, not feeling the slightest of optimism.
"Oh come on Hermione. Don't be so dull. We'll go to the ministry of magic tomorrow. We are going to find Ginny. Promise." Harry said.
Hermione nodded, managing a small smile.
"Alright now. Lets go see mum. I am starving."
"Ron! You and your food. C'mon!"
Harry saw them walk towards the kitchen. Tomorrow. The day. They were going to be reunited. The four of them. All of this.. Being together with Ron and Hermione again. ... Gave him hope. It seemed they back in Hogwarts. Back to their daily life filled with joy and adventure.
He eagerly waited for the next day. He was determined to find Ginny. Determined to end his misery.
I am so sorry.It's been aeons since I've written. Really sorry if I kept you waiting a bit too long by I promise there's loads of action to be waited for.

Look Potter I got u another fan!
Ch-12 Back to the GrillmansGinny had had enough. She'd lost Harry. She'd fought with her very own brother. She'd not even spared Hermione. And now she was stuck at this dark place. She didn't remember anything after her sudden departure. Only that everything went black and then she recalled landing here. A man had come once to serve her food but she refused it.
"Tell me what place this is!!!! You can't just kidnap Ginny Weasley and GET AWAY!" She roared.
"If you behave that way, there's no way you are ever gonna see daylight. Your boyfriend was with us for a week or so but he escaped. Now don't you dare misbehave." The old man said. His voice was cold and hostile showing no signs of any warmth.
"Boyfriend? Do you mean Harry? Oh, now I get it. You kidnapped him didn't you? And now he has escaped so you got hold of me. But how did you manage all that." Ginny asked, still angry at being so stupid. Harry was safe now, but she wasn't. She cursed herself for being so dumb. Of she could've waited for just a day then she and Harry would probably have been at the Burrow with Ron and Hermione having supper.
"Well, you see girl," he said pointing at another lean man who looked just like the old man, "Miles, my son, here is very resourceful. It was all his doing but I am the brains behind this master plan." He gave her wicked grin.
Ginny glared at Miles.
"So what are you going to do to me now?" Ginny asked.
"Bargain, of course. We want Harry. We already have the Minister-" he was interrupted by Ginny.
"Kingsley? You scumbags got him as well? Where is he?" Ginny scowled at that old man, whatever his name was.
The old man gave her a painful stare.
"You are not supposed to interrupt your elders and you are definitely not authorised to call them scumbags!!! UNDERSTAND?"
Ginny gave him a 'whatever' look.
She looked at that man. She didnt recognise him. He didn't have such a great appearance. It wasn't appealing. Infact at first she didn't even believe that he was behind the whole game. Every kidnapping was linked. She was going to be used as a bait. In exchange of Harry. But what about Kingsley?
"So what's your plan? Why are you doing this. You a death eater by any chance?" She tried to start a conversation. To get as much information as possible.
"Ah! Death eater? I knew that that Voldemort fool won't last more than a year after Dumbledore. Harry had to defeat him. No. I'm not one of them." He replied.
"Then?"
"You see girl I want power. All I want is to overthrow the minister and kill Harry potter."
Ginny was puzzled at his reply. Ok, she understood that he might have been a power hungry lunatic but what was all that about killing Harry?
"But what has Harry done? Why do you want to kill him."
The old man understood where this was going.
"That's it for today then. I know you are curious and I'm more than willing to tell you but I can see where this is going. I'll tell you everything but step by step. Now eat that day else it wouldn't be right. Come on Miles. Lets give her some quality time of her own."
And saying so the father and son got up, opened the door and stepped out bolting it from outside.
Nice twist! Love the abrupt ending. Adds more intrigue to the story. Waiting for more.
