Betrayal And Revenge

Chapter-3

Abduction

It was six o'clock in the evening at the Burrow and the Weasley's were in a panic. Ginny had been abducted from Diagon Alley shortly after noon that very day and they had not heard a word since Hermione returned with the news of her abduction. Ginny had been out shopping with her sister-in-law Hermione when several death eaters apparated into the alley. The group of six quickly cast several curses and jinxes into the crowd hoping to cause mass hysteria. Their true targets however were Hermione and Ginny Weasley.

Ginny pushed Hermione into the Leaky Cauldron before the death eaters could reach the two Weasleys and cast a locking spell on the door to keep the death eaters from reaching her sister-in-law.

Hermione pounded on the door, begging Ginny to unlock it but by the time someone could remove the charm on the door the death eaters and Ginny were long gone. The entire Weasley clan was sitting in the living room awaiting word on Ginny. Mrs. Weasley and Hermione were taking this hardest. As her only daughter, and the youngest of her seven children Ginny was the one she worried about the most. She was also the only one not married or seeing anyone. Hermione was upset because Ginny had sacrificed all to keep her safe.

The Weasley clock suddenly chimed six thirty and then came the sound a spoon moving on the clock. Molly went to look and saw the hand showing Ginny was home. She moved to the staircase and that was when she saw her daughter, slightly bruised, in tattered clothes, but very much alive. Ginny ran down the stairs and into her mother's arms.

"Ginny." Molly cried out as she held her daughter tightly.

"What happened? Where did they take you, how did you get away?" Ron asked as he embraced his sister.

"Draco Malfoy and five of his goons had me." Ginny told him.

The color of Ron's face suddenly turned as red has his hair.

"Don't worry, he's already in ministry custody, as are his associate." Ginny told him.

"But, how did you get free?" Hermione asked, happy to see the girl alive and safe as she hugged her tightly.

Ginny didn't answer she just hugged the girl back. No more questions were asked of her. She just gave each member of her family a large hug and told them she needed to get changed and cleaned up. When she was done, she walked down the stairs again to find her mother and father sitting in the living room awaiting her return.

"Sit down dear, we need to talk." Molly told her daughter.

"What is it mum?" Ginny asked.

Her father answered for his wife. "We need you to be even more careful from now on." Stopping his statement for a moment.

"You were very brave today, protecting Hermione, escaping from the death eaters. It's just. It might not be safe for you to go out without your brothers, mother or I." Arthur told his daughter.

"What are you talking about? What aren't you telling me?" Ginny asked, looking at both her parents.

Molly handed her daughter a folded copy of the Daily Prophet. She looked at the headline:

Harry Potter Escapes Azkaban!
Dementors destroyed! Aurors' Defeated!
Diggory and Dumbledore Stunned!

Ginny tossed the Prophet on the table.

"You're worried that Harry will come after me aren't you?" She asked them in a disgusted tone.

"We all are." Bill announced as he and the family returned to the living room.
