Another Fight

Chapter Seven

I walk into the Room of Requirements. Also known as the the vanishing room. So that trip I missed had an important meeting. We are rebelling and Harry is teaching us to fight. I send one girl flying backwards against the wall. I smirk and do a dramatic bow since I won the duel. With a quick spin, I look at my brothers and sister. The winner goes against whoever they want.

"If I have to keep this from my boyfriend, I challenge one of you."

Ginny smirks and steps up.

"I accept your challenge little sister."

"By a minute."

We bow to each other and take turn. A quick three steps and we face each other.

"Stupefy," we both cast. Both of us go flying back, hitting the wall. Fred and Neville helps me up while George and Ron helps up Ginny. I notice everyone is staring at us in shock.

"That is why twins are best duels to watch," I joke around. Everyone is laughing or smiling. "I am the winner anyway."

"No. I was born first so it was my thought."

"Tell yourself what you need to, Ginny."

People chuckle at our bickering and I stick my tongue out at them.

I take off running to Dumbledore's office. My bare feet slapping the stone ground over and over again. I go flying through the door to see my siblings there along with Harry and Hermione. I motion for them to wait a second as I catch my breath.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO DAD?" I shout.

"He's been attacked," Professor Dumbledore informs me. "The Aurors have already called for. The seven of you have to go straight to the Weasley's tomorrow. No exceptions. Everyone but Mr. Potter leave."

I do as he says, heading straight down to the Slytherin common room. As soon as I enter, Draco embraces me.

"What happened?" he asks softly.

"M...my Dad has b...been attacked," I sob out. "I d...don't even know i...if he's okay."

He rubs my back in a soothing way and lets me cry in his shoulder.

I pin my hair up and head downstairs. Everyone gathers around the table. And by everyone, I mean us Weasleys, the Order, Harry, and Hermione.

"Daddy's home," Mum smiles as she helps Dad in his seat. He still covered in scars and cuts.

"Welcome home, Dad," Ginny and I tell him at the same time.

"Glad to be home. And all thanks to Harry."

Everyone pats his shoulder and we joke around. Mum passes out presents and we start to open them. Ginny and I got matching blue sweaters. Also I got a bracelet from Draco and everyone pitched in to get me a guitar.

"Why don't you try it out?" Lupin asks. I smile and start strumming.

"Hey there Delilah. What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away, but tonight girl look so pretty, yes you do. Town square don't shine as bright as you...."

I stop the moment I realize I am singing the lyrics. Blushing, I look up, ready to apologize. However, no seems hurt. Or even in a trance.

"That was lovely, darling," Mum states. I guess that either a.) I did not have the Siren's Gift anymore, or b.) I can sing certain things without reproductions. And I really hope it is the second option. That would be cool.
