Saving Brothers

Chapter 20: Broken

Regulus walked Ginny back to the Gryffindor's common room. It was near curfew and they did not want to get each other in any trouble. Regulus and Ginny stayed in silence all the way back to the patriate, neither of them knowing what to say. Once they got there Regulus turned to face Ginny and said,

"Good night Ginny. I hope everything turns out alright for you and your sister."

Regulus leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. Before Ginny could say anything Regulus was gone. She just touched her cheek; she could not believe that he kissed her on the cheek. She entered the tower and saw that the Marauders were sitting by the fire talking. Ginny walked over to them and sat down in the plush chair. She faced all four Marauders and said,

"What are we boys talking about today?"

"We are not talking about anything dear Ginny." James said with a smirk.

"No, you four are planning something. But if you don't want to tell me that is alright. I can just give Lily a leak that something is going to happen and the Marauders are behind it." Ginny said with an evil grin.

"You ma 'ma are an evil little girl. But if you have to know it is....." Sirius said but passed when he was Hermione walking in.

The room went silence when they saw that Hermione had ripped clothes and you could see all of her scars. No one said a word and Ginny ran over to Hermione. Sirius was right behind her; he got their right before she fell into his arms. There was no movement, no one said a word. They did not know what to do.

"Peter go get Professor Dumbledore! Sirius we have to take her to the Hospital wing. She needs to get medical help." James said scared.

"Sirius, James is right. Hermione need medical help. She just pasted out in your arms. Trust me that those scars are not the worse." Ginny said.

Sirius picked her up and carried her bridal style to the Hospital wing. Ginny and the rest of the Marauders were right behind her. When they past Lily on the way Lily looked frantic and started to follow. James filled her in while they headed to the Hospital wing. Everyone was worried about their brainy friend. Ginny knew that something horrible happened to her. She knew that her best friend put up a fight with whoever did this to her.

Once they entered the Hospital wing Madam Pomfrey ran from the back and said,

"Put her over there. Lily I am going to need your help. Get some ingredients from the back to start to make potions for this young girl." Lily was already grabbing things off the shelf when Madam Pomfrey was speaking. "What happened to her?"

"We don't know. She came into the Gryffindor tower like this. If Sirius was not beside her she would have collapsed onto the floor. We brought her here as soon as we could. She has been unconscious for about ten minutes now." Ginny stated.

Madam Pomfrey started to cast spells on her to detect any spells. She found a glamour spell on her and a few dark curses. Madam Pomfrey took the glamour spell off and the sight shocked her. The whole time everyone forgot about the Marauders until now. Ginny turned around to hear the gasping noises coming from the Marauders.

"You cannot tell Hermione that you saw her like this. We all know that she is a fighter but she gets very insecure about these scars. She has been through a lot to earn each battle scar." Ginny said.

"Ginny you make her sound like she has been in war." Remus said concerned.

Ginny gave him a sad look and then turned back to Madam Pomfrey and Lily watching them heal her. Madam Pomfrey turned to Ginny and asked,

"Has Miss Reeve ever been a victim to the Crucio curse?"
