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

Chapter 10

Ginny-

Another hour went by. And another hour. Not one Auror had returned from the mission. It was now 5pm. The media was still outside and they looked impatient. Especially the Daily Prophet. They were always blood thirsty for information.

Ginny stood in the office and once again began to pace back and forth. She kept saying to herself that they should've been back by now. Her pacing got faster and faster. Ginny's mind was telling her that she should keep calm but Ginny ignored it.

"Ginny if you take one more step I might have to hex you!" Alexis cried. Her pacing was beginning to annoy Alexis and Caitlyn.

"Sorry I'm just so nervous! They should've been back by now." Ginny sighed and sat down.

"Lex is right Gin. Just don't panic." Caitlyn gave her a warm smile.

These words sunk in and Ginny sat back down in her chair. She knew that they were both right. She would just have to be patient.

Only time would tell.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15 minutes passed. Nothing had changed. But then, someone had apparated into the office behind Ginny, Alexis and Caitlyn. They immediately whipped their heads round. It was Seamus.

"Seamus?! What's happened?" Caitlyn gasped running into his arms.

"Everyones fine. We've found Harry they're bringing him back soon." Seamus gasped.

"Oh thank god." Ginny breathed out a sigh of relief.

"They said I should come back and wait with you guys. They shouldn't be long."

"You've been gone ages. We were getting worried." Alexis said.

"There were traps. Set all around. They tricked us a couple times. They knew we would come and find Harry so they set them to make us fall." Seamus gasped for breath.

"Is anyone else injured?" Ginny asked.

"No not really only cuts and bruises." Seamus answered.

"Is Harry ok?" Caitlyn asked.

"Yeah, he didn't look thin or anything. He said that they hadn't done anything to him or anything like that. Apparently house elves had apparated into where he was to bring him food. He's been worried sick about you Gin. He thought they were going to target you after that." Seamus said.

Ginny's eyes widened a little when Seamus said this. What was she kidding? Of course Harry would be worried about her! It was too obvious.

"So what happened after that?" Alexis asked.

"Well we immediately went to set him free but we heard the door shut and in stepped Lucius Malfoy along with his wife Narcissa, weirdly enough not Draco. They locked the door so we couldn't escape. After a number of duels with them and Ron being knocked out unconscious Myrida called in more Aurors and we went for plan b. They had a back up as well along with previous Death Eaters and we duelled with them. Most of us occurred cuts on our faces with Jack suffering a more serious wound." Seamus explained.

Ginny heard Alexis gasp very quietly.

"Omg is he ok?" She said and Ginny could see the panic and small tears appear in her eyes.

"He's fine, Hermione patched him up but the minute they get back he's going to St Mungos. Anyway after that, we got even more of a massive shock. Dolores Umbridge turned up. Obviously she was on their side. She made things even worse and at one point they looked stronger than us. We managed to fought them off and they apparated away. Once we checked that the coast was clear we set Harry free. I was then told to come back here and wait with you lot once they sorted everything out."

Ginny watched Caitlyn wince as Seamus mentioned the name Dolores Umbridge. Everyone knew the relation between them two. Although she said that she didn't bother her anymore, Ginny still noticed the look on her face when her name was mentioned. No matter what she said to her and Alexis, they would still notice the signs.

Then someone else had apparated outside and more cameras clicked. Ginny lifted up the blinds to see people heading towards the office. As the figures got closer Ginny noticed that it was Hermione, a now conscious Ron, Jack and the rest of the Aurors. The door latched open and they stumbled inside gasping for breath.

"Are you all ok?" Ginny asked once everyone was inside and they had caught their breath back.

"Yeah we're fine Gin." Hermione breathed out.

"Where's Harry and Myrdia?" Alexis asked once Jack had sat down and she sat on his lap.

"St Mungos. Don't worry they're both fine. We got told to come back here and once we met up with you we would all go to St Mungos." Ron said.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Caitlyn cried standing up. Ginny nodded and apparated to St Mungos. She felt the horrible sensation of twisting and turning making her head dizzy. Then, Ginny found herself in St Mungos and heard others apparate in behind her. 

Myrida had lead the way and soon Ginny found herself outside Harry's room. Everyone else had left to get treated for other injuries while Ginny stood and peered into Harry's room. Burning hot tears poured down her face and her cheeks began to turn a dark shade of red. Ginny's feet were glued to the floor and she couldn't move. He looked like he was almost asleep but Ginny knew he wasn't. He was like that to make his recovery quicker.

Ginny silently cried to herself letting each tear represent an emotion that was swimming through her head at that moment in time.
