The Aftermath: Sequel to It Was Always You. A Ginny Weasley Fanfic

Chapter 5

Ginny-

Ginny's heart stopped and her breathing became heavier. Harry had been kidnapped?! Tears were swimming around in her eyes and began to fall slowly down her face. Each tear was hot and burned her cheeks.

"W-what?" Ginny said through her tears.

"R-Ron managed to get away. H-he tried to grab Harry but it was too late." Hermione tried to explain as much as possible.

Ginny sat down on the sofa, put her head in her hands and bust into tears. Everything was so perfect at the moment and now it had been ripped apart into pieces like paper. Caitlyn put her arm around Ginny and tried to comfort her. But it didn't work.

"Don't worry Gin. The Aurors will find him." Caitlyn said. Ginny looked up at her. Tears stained her beautiful brown eyes. A simple nod was her answer.

The others then left. Ginny got ready for bed. She climbed into the crisp white duvet and turned the lamp off beside her bed. She burst into tears again. She knew she didn't deserve this. Harry was the best thing that had ever happened to her. He loved her and cared for her. Ginny silently cried herself to sleep.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————

A new day dawned. Ginny woke up and groaned as she looked at herself in the mirror. She got ready for the day. Her hair was a mess and her face was as pale as a ghost. Only the ginger freckles on her face could be seen. Ginny brushed her hair and didn't apply any make-up. Ginny looked awful. A silver patronus then entered the bedroom.

"Miss Weasley, Myrida here, head of the Auror Department. We would like to speak to you regarding Mr Potter's kidnap. Please make your way over to the Ministry whenever you're ready." The voice spoke and then the Patronus vanished into the air. Ginny paused for a second. Had they found him already? It had barely been 24 hours! Ginny grabbed her jacket and slipped on her shoes and dashed out the front door. She took the floo network to get to the Ministry. A whoosh of green light meant that Ginny was on her way and moments later she found herself in the Ministry. There were loads of people doing their daily routine. The Daily Prophet was on sale and Ginny wasn't surprised at the cover.

Potter KIDNAPPED!

Many news reporters noticed Ginny's appearance and immediately rushed over to her to ask questions. So many photographers were snapping pictures in her faces making Ginny blink every second. A crowd had formed around her. Ginny then noticed a head full of ginger hair just like her. The body moved towards her pushing past people and revealed its face. Ron.

"Ginny! Thank god you're ok! Come with me. Myrida is waiting for you." Ron put his arm around Ginny and pulled her through the crowd. He started shouting at the people to move away and leave Ginny alone. Pictures were still being snapped but the sounds of reporters asking questions died away. Ginny then found herself walking along a marble corridor. Ron then lead her into a big office.

"Ah Miss Weasley please take a seat." Myrida said and Ginny sat opposite his desk.

"Now, we have assigned a top team to search and find Mr Potter. When we send our Aurors on missions we record them on a tracking system, to see their every movement. We noticed that Mr Potter was in a small battle with someone that we couldn't recognise. However, we can't rule anyone out at the moment but it seems that whoever he dueled with damaged their tracking system attached to them. Our tracking systems have been especially designed for Death Eaters not to destroy them but whoever destroyed this one must've been skilful and powerful." Myrida explained.

Ginny didn't say anything at first. The words hit her. She could understand the small battle but kidnapping him takes it too far.

"Where was he at the time?" Ginny asked.
