Hinny? Hinny.

Chapter 15

"Stupid power outage. The universe just doesn't want Ron to win anything does he?" Ron laid back angrily, mumbling curse words under his breath.
"Now what?" Ginny asked the group
"We have all this time to ourselves for once and now we can't do anything."
In the corner Harry started laughing, laughing harder than he ever has before. Hermione groaned and rolled her eyes.
Confused, Ron and Ginny looked at each other, confused at what was happening.
"Have u forgot something?"
"I don't think i have....what?"
"Lumos" Harry whispered and the tip of his wand alit, lighting up his section of the room.
"Dumb gits. We're not muggles are we."
Ginny blushed, embarrassed that she hasn't realized that they could of solved the problem with A flick of their wand.
"I would say now is a good time to watch a movie? A T.V series maybe?"
"Oh I know just the one. It's a muggle show. Boy Meets World, it's called. I love it personally." Hermione said
"Oh Boy Meets World! I loveeee that show. I used to watch it from my cupboard when Dudley didn't know I could see it from my "room." Let's watch it, they'll love it."
Hermione popped in the DVD starting with season 1 episode 1 and plopped back down next to Ron, snuggling up to her new boyfriend. Ginny did the same and rested her head on his shoulder. The show was great, Ginny thought. Funny too. Nobody spoke, besides when Hermione had to explain the muggle jokes to Ron or when Harry had to comfort Ginny after a loud clap of thunder. A few hours past and before they knew it they were on episode 13.
"Hey, guys." Ron said, bringing them all back to reality.
"What time is it?" He asked sounding nervous.
"6:30" Hermione responded "Why what's wrong?"
"What's wrong??? Fred and George should of been back hours ago. Mum too."
They all shared a panicked look, embarrassed that they hadn't realized nobody had returned earlier.
"The storm. It must be because of the storm." Ginny said trying not to sound nervous.
"Maybe, but that doesn't make the situation better. It's really coming down outside."
The 4 of them ran over to the window and looked out into the distance. Pitch black. The dark clouds above lingered over the land like a blanket.
Boom- the noise shook the ground so fiercely even the gnomes got scared.
Zap- lighting light up the sky so quickly yet so powerfully that your whole life flashed before your eyes.
"Okay....this isn't good. What should we do?"
"We've got to take cover immediately! The wind is so strong, it'll knock down the house!" Ginny gave Harry a worried look and was clearly frightened by the sight outside.
"AHHHH" Hermione let out a high pitched squeal
"What is it 'Mione?"
She was speechless. Unable to find words to describe what was happening. So she didn't talk, she just pointed. They all followed her gaze until they saw what she was talking about. Forming above in the dark clouds was a much lighter colored cloud. Not white, but green. Greenish grayish. And not only was its color different, but so was its form. It twisted in and out, forming a figure.
"The dark mark." Harry said quietly.
"The dark mark!!!" He then said much louder. "They're coming. They're coming for me. And they'll get you too. All of you. No one here is going to protect me. Christ, no one IS here to protect me. You three hide immediately. I've got this"
"No way Harry! No way am I letting you go. You go, I go." Ginny said sternly. Harry was going to argue but he could tell by the tone in her voice that she meant it. He couldn't put her in that type of danger.
"Quickly! To the basement!" Ron yelled breaking the frightening silence that had fallen over them. They headed toward the stairs but suddenly stopped when they heard a loud BOOM.
"What was that?!?!" Hermione shouted over the loud noise of the storm going on above them. "An owl! Maybe it was another owl. I reckon mum sent one telling us what to do!" Feeling a bit relived Ginny ran to the kitchen. She couldn't tell whether an owl was outside with the all the rain and darkness. She opened the door, thinking she was going to find another dimwitted owl there. However it was not a owl.
It was a person.
