"Ginny? Ginny where are you? GINNY?"
"HARRY! HELP!"
"GINNY!" Harry ran and ran and ran towards her shout. Where could she be, he thought. They had only gone for a walk when he noticed that Ginny was no longer by his side. What could have happened to her? Surely it wasn't a Death Eater, the war had been over for a year now. They had all gone to Azkaban, hadn't they? Whatever it was, he had to find her and he had to find her quick!
"Don't move Potter!" Harry spun around to see Lucius Malfoy step out from behind a large tree with Ginny, her wand - He had obviously stolen it from her- pointed at her back. Tears were streaming down her face and Harry felt like he was going to explode with anger. Harry took in Lucius' appearance, it was hardly befitting of the once very rich man, he was wearing raged, torn, grey and black clothes, Harry recognized these as the clothes the prisoners that were in Azkaban wore, they were just like the ones Sirius was wearing when Harry first met him. Lucius was covered in dirt and his hair was dirty and long, again, much like Sirius' was except that Lucius had begun to go bald in places- Probably from stress and being unused to living in a cold cell in the middle of nowhere as opposed to living a life of luxury in his mansion with Draco and Narcissa. Harry was very grateful to Narcissa Malfoy, she could have just told Voldemort that he was still alive and let him kill Harry, but no, she asked him if Draco were still alive and Harry - hidden behind Narcissa - nodded ever so slightly and she, in return told Voldemort that he was dead. She had, to put it straight, pretty much saved his life.
"Harry..." He heard Ginny sob, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Quiet girl!" Lucius snapped at her."
"Let her go!" Harry shouted, raising his wand.
“Try anything Potter and I’ll kill her after, of course, I have had my fun torturing her.” he sneered unpleasantly. “The cruciatus curse seems suffice, don’t you think?” he asked with a twisted smile. Harry felt the colour drain out of his face, the thought of Ginny in pain hurt him so much it couldn’t be put into words.  “You seem a bit pale Potter.” Malfoy noted with a definite tone of glee in his voice.
“Why are you doing this? It’s over. You lost, Voldemort is dead!”
“I know the Dark Lord is dead. I know we lost. And no, it is not over. I am doing this because of you, yet again. Because of you I haven’t seen my son or wife for a year. Because of you I have had to spend the past year In hell. Because of you I was as good as dead in there. But now, now I am out, I am going to make you suffer. I will not kill you but I will hurt the one thing you care for the most. Ginevra Molly Weasley.”
Harry’s breath caught in his throat as he knew what was coming…
“Crucio!” 

Ginny’s screams echoed off every tree in the forest, intensifying the pain barely buried within in it. Harry went for his wand but before he could do anything Lucius stopped and said “Do anything Potter and I’ll kill her.” Harry lowered his wand. “Good. Now, throw it over there Harry so I know you can’t get it.” Lucius said in an almost kind tone. Harry, knowing there was nothing he could do without it resulting in Ginny’s death, tossed his wand into the forest. “Now,” continued Lucius “I must take precautions-” He waved Ginny’s wand and several snake like ropes shot out of the end and bound Harry to the nearest tree, securing his head so he was forced to watch Ginny being tortured. Harry could feel the rough bark of the gnarled and twisted birch tree scratching the back of his head as he struggled to loosen the leather ropes restricting him, but the ropes did not loosen, they only tightened. But not only did they tighten round his head, they tightened round his stomach to, giving him the feeling that if they were any tighter, the may cut him in half. “There. Now-” Lucius said as he turned back to Ginny, who was curled-up sobbing on the forest floor amongst leaves and twigs “I shall continue. Crucio!” Ginny began to scream again, Harry felt his heart brake into a million pieces as he sat bound to a tree watching her. Harry fought the stinging tears that threatened to flow from his eyes. ‘No, It’s what he want’s. To brake me’ he told himself, but it was to no avail. His eyes betrayed him and let the tears slip out and down his face. He was about to brake into sobs when-
“EXPELLIARMUS!” 
Harry stared in shock as he saw Ginny’s wand go flying through the air and land somewhere behind him. He recognised that voice. Ron! It was Ron! “Relashio!” He heard Ron say. The ropes restricting Harry fell to the ground and he lurched forward and dropped to his knees next to Ginny. Lucius ran as he saw Ron and disappeared into the depths of the forest. Harry pulled Ginny into his arms just as Ron reached them.
“Ginny!” Ron said as he dropped to his knees next to Harry. Ginny stopped sobbing, looked up and wiped away her tears.
“Ron? Wha-how?” Ginny spluttered but Ron shook his head and said
“I came looking for you two. You had been gone a while so…”
“How did  you know where to find us?”
“Well, I know you two come here to walk a lot. So I decided to look here first and when I apparated here I could hear your screaming so I followed it and saw-saw-”
But Ginny had let go of Harry and clung on to Ron, holding him tight and started thanking him, over and over again.
“Harry, where’s your wand?”
“Lucius made me throw it over there.” Harry pointed to his right.
“Ah.” said Ron “Accio Harry’s wand!” and then Harry’s Phoenix feather wand came flying towards them and Ron caught it in his spare hand. “Here ya go.” He said and handed it to Harry.
“Thanks.” Harry stood up. “We should probably go back to the Burrow now.”
“Yeah.” Agreed Ron. Ginny let go of him and they stood up. She turned away from Ron and flung her arms around Harry and kissed him deeply. But they broke apart when Ron, who had turned bright red at witnessing such a thing, coughed. Harry and Ginny laughed at the embarrassed look on Ron’s face.
“Honestly Ron-” Said Ginny grinning “it’s not like you and Hermione don’t do the same in front of us!” Harry grinned at Ginny’s words and Ron turned a deep shade of scarlet.
“Oh shut up.” Ron snapped, but Harry and Ginny only laughed even more. “We really ought to go now.” Said Ron, trying to change the subject.
“Alright.” Said Ginny. She wrapped an arm round Harry’s waist and grabbed Ron’s Hand with her free one and then they disapparated back to the Burrow.
