Chapter 31 part 2
“What do you mean they are not here?” Ginny yelled outraged after having barged into James’ room. Lilly tried to convince her that they haven’t entered Albus’ room and that after that James had gone back to sleep, but she wasn’t so good at lying and Ginny was great at reading the truth. So after she barged into James’ room to find it empty, Lilly was forced to tell her the truth.
“Are you telling me that they left the house when Death Eaters are out there and they are in desperate need of their blood?” Ginny shouted at the verse of hysteria.
“Well, Albus lelt and James went after him”, Lily explained.
“He should have told me, not go after him by his own!”
“He didn’t want to worry you”, Lily replied.
“Too late for that!” Ginny said angrily as she climbed down stairs. “I’ll call mom to stay here with you and the baby and I’ll go look for them”.
“Mom, I’m thirteen years old!” Lily rolled her eyes. “I think I can stay in the house by my own!”
“I know you can stay in the house by your own Lily, but what if Death Eaters attack while you’re alone?” Ginny said as she approached the fire place ready to communicate with the Burrow through it.
“But I thought our house is super protected, I mean isn’t that why the Death Eaters haven’t attacked like they did with Aunt Hermione’s and Uncle Ron’s house?”
“No, honey, our house was protected”, Ginny sighed. “I don’t know all the protective spells and incantations that were used to make that possible and most of them need to be refreshed every day and there’s no one to do that with your father…gone…”
“But mom maybe they don’t know that”, Lily said. “I mean they haven’t attacked yet so…”
“Yes, but they can attack any moment and…”
Just before she finished her sentence the windows of the living room blew up in thousand pieces of glass.
“Mom!” Lily yelled terrified. Ginny rolled her eyes.
“I had to talk”, she grunted taking out her wand and Lily mimicked her. They waited but nothing else happened and then…
Pop! Artemis appeared out of thin air right in the middle of the living room.
“You”, Ginny whispered as hatred rose inside her and overwhelmed her. The woman that stood in front of her with an irritating smile upon her face, that woman was the same person who had caused the death of her husband. She was the one who took him away from her.
“Me”, she nodded as more and more cloaked and masked figures appeared and started surrounding them. “This was easier than I thought”.
“Really?” Ginny smirked and with that she raised her wand and when it came back down a blinding light emerged from it that made all the Death Eaters to cover their eyes for protection. Ginny grabbed her daughter’s hand and they run in the kitchen.
“Lily, we’re gonna apparate, hold on to my hand tightly”, Ginny told her and the next moment she turned on the spot. Nothing happened. “Damn!” she swore under her breath, but she couldn’t say that she didn’t expected them not to have blocked her power to apparate, like they did back when they were attacked in Luna’s house. She turned to Lily again. “Okay, honey, I want you to get out”, she said pointing at the kitchen door, “grab a broomstick from outside and fly as fast as you can”.
“What are you gonna do?” Lily said with her eyes huge.
“I’m gonna stay back and hold them off until you’re far enough”.
“No”, Lily shook her head terrified.
“I did not ask”, Ginny said with a cold, calm voice. “Now go!”
“No, mom, I can’t leave you…I can’t lose you! Not you too!”
“Lily, you’ll either gonna leave by your own or I’m gonna use the Imperius curse on you!” Ginny threaten. Lily took some steps towards the door but was still hesitating. “GO NOW!” Ginny yelled and Lily opened the door and run out, just when Artemis walked into the kitchen. Ginny raised her wand, but she didn’t.
“Cool spell”, Artemis said appreciatively. “You blinded us for a while, but I expected you to use the Bat Boogey curse; that’s what he said you were gonna use”.
“What?” Ginny asked confused, but Artemis only smirked.
“Here’s the thing”, she said as her Death Eaters came to join them. “We’re ready to bring the Dark Lord back, but we need to kill someone to do that and I want to kill you because your mother killed my mother”, she said like she was asking her if she could borrow her earrings.
“I’m sorry but I cannot be of your service today”, Ginny said ironically.
“What if I promised that we will never hurt your children?” Artemis proposed.
“Yeah, right”, Ginny laughed. “Voldemort will come back and he’ll leave them alone for sure!”
“Right”, Artemis sighed. “Good point. What if I could grant one wish for you?” she smirked then.
“There’s nothing you can do for me”, Ginny said while her hands were trembling with anger. “Or wait…scratch that, you can drop dead, yeah, you can make that wish come true”.
Artemis laughed.
“You know if I haven’t had to kill you, I would found you pretty amusing”, she said.
“Oh, I can be very amusing…wanna see?” Ginny said raising her wand again.
“Wait”, Artemis sighed looking tired of the conversation. “You know that we can force you to come with us….” She stopped as Ginny laughed loudly at that and then went on. “But I would hate for my sacrifice to be maimed. So you will have to come with us willingly”.
“Can you say long shot?” Ginny asked her.
“Your husband is alive”.
Ginny’s face whitened and her eyes widened in surprise, but that was just for a moment because the next they were filled with pure anger.
“How – dare – you?” Ginny whispered slowly while she was trembling with ferocity. “How dare you talk about him? How dare you using him as a pretext?”
“Oh, I see you don’t believe me”, Artemis said. “Well, this may help”, she added and with that she left a small object, that she was holding in her hand all this time, on the counter in front of Ginny. She looked down to see what it was and when she did, she felt like all the air was sunk from her lungs. What was worse she felt a small, a tiny part of her forming a faint hope inside her, but she knew that she couldn’t let herself hope for the impossible, because she knew that no matter how faint her hope was, her sorrow would be immense if it was crashed. She had thought all of that in the few seconds that she was gazing down at Harry’s wedding ring. She took it in her hand and then she raised her eyes to look at Artemis again.
“I am not coming with you”, she said calmly.
“Really?” Artemis said with a happily surprised tone. “You don’t want to see him one more time before you both die? What’s the matter? Problems in paradise?”
“I don’t believe you”.
“If we don’t have him, then how is it that we have his wedding ring?”
“I don’t know; you were there, you killed him”, Ginny said with a cold voice.
“He’s not dead”, Artemis repeated. “Come with us and see for yourself”.
“I’m not gonna come with you; I’m not gonna leave my kids alone”, she said and raised her wand.
Artemis sighed frustrated.
“You’re just too stubborn”, she said and with one of her nod, all five Death Eaters around them pulled their wands out, but just as Ginny was trying to decide what curse to set upon them first, a loud cry came from upstairs. Ginny and the Death Eaters froze, as a large smirk spread on Artemis’ face. She turned to the Death Eater next to her. “Go upstairs”, she told him.
“NO!” Ginny yelled and with a flick of her wand she immobilized the Death Eater. She couldn’t believe it, but everything had happened so fast, that she almost forgot that Hope was upstairs in the nursery. Artemis turned to look at her.
“If you won’t come with me for him then come for your baby”, she said. “Or you want us to bring it along?”
“Not it, her”, Ginny grunted. She took a deep breath and after glancing upstairs she lowered her wand.
Albus landed on their garden first and he was getting of his broom when James landed next to him.
“Told ya I’d beat you”, Albus said in a James-kinda-way. His brother grunted.
“It’s because I’m missing practice or else…”
“I still cannot believe you left our Quidditch team to go out with Professor Jenks!” Albus exclaimed.
“A little louder Al, I don’t think they heard you at London”, James rolled his eyes as he set off for the house. “And anyway you wouldn’t be flying that good if it wasn’t for Corny anyway”.
“Can you please stop calling our Professor that?”
“She’s my girlfriend too”, James reminded him.
“Ew”, Albus said for the hundredth time. They were a few meters from the door, when James stopped at his tracks and as a result Albus bumped on him and fell down. “Hey!” he complained, but as James ignored his ridiculous fall he jumped up, knowing something had to be wrong. “What?”
“The windows of the living room are broken and the door is open”, James replied only inches away from panicking. “Somebody’s been here”. Albus gulped, then pulled his wand out and made to walk into the house, but James stopped him. “No, Albus, I’ll go in, you stay here”.
“What? Why?”
“I don’t know what they’ve done”, James replied blankly and with that cryptic comment, he left his brother’s wrist and entered the house.
It was true, he thought, he didn’t know what they’ve done. As he walked carefully through the house, fear clenched his heart. If the Death Eaters decided to attack the Potter residence, they would have obviously come determined to hurt the Potters, so what if…what if…? He couldn’t even allow his mind to form the thought properly, yet he knew that there was a great possibility that more than one of his family members were dead and he couldn’t allow Albus to see that.
As he looked around in the living room, suddenly he heard a noise from the kitchen. He held onto his wand tightly and walked there to find the door closed, he breathed heavily and then deciding that it was no time to be hesitant he kicked the door open and burst into the kitchen. The loud scream that followed his entrance, made him almost drop his wand in surprise. Lily was standing in the middle of the kitchen, with their baby sister in her arms.
“JAMES!” she yelled. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”
“Lily…? What…what happened?” James asked lowering his wand. Lily sighed and left Hope in her chair.
“Death Eaters”, she replied laconically, but before James could make any more questions, Albus rushed in, wand-in-hand and out of breath.
“What happened? Who screamed?” he said looking around for possible enemies.
“I did”, Lily sighed. “James made me think the Death Eaters came back the way he barged in!”
“Death Eaters?” Albus asked frightened.
“Where’s mom?” James asked his sister.
“James…"
“Lily, where’s mom?” James repeated his voice an octave higher than normal. He knew that if Death Eaters attacked there was no way their mother was going to leave Lily and Hope alone after it ended; not willingly.
“They…they took her”, Lily whispered.
“WHAT?” Albus and James both exclaimed at the same time.
“Yeah, that’s why they came; for mom. When they attacked she told me to run, grab a broom and fly away, but I didn’t. I hid outside and saw everything from the window in the kitchen. Artemis…said…she said…”
“What?” James encouraged her, but she was looking at Albus.
“She said that…that dad is alive, that they got him”, Lily said and a broad smile appeared on Albus’ face as James gasped.
“I TOLD YOU!” Albus yelled. “I KNEW IT!”
“Mom didn’t believe her though”, Lily whispered.
“She didn’t?”
“It’s a good thing she didn’t Al, because they wanted her to go with them willingly, so they thought that if they…”
“If they told her that dad was alive she would”, James finished her sentence.
“What? No, James…” Albus said.
“It was a lie”, James said discouraged.
“No, I’m telling you…”
“The point is that they wanted her to go with them, so they could kill her in order to bring Voldemort back!” Lily said as her eyes were welling up; both Albus’ and James’ faces whitened. “She wouldn’t go, but then Hope cried and…and…”
“And she went with them so they wouldn’t hurt Hope”, Albus was the one to finish their sister’s sentence this time, as James threw himself in a chair.
“What do we do?” Lily asked them.
“We must alert Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione”, Albus said quickly. “They will know what to do”.
“I already send an owl to them”.
“But we need to do something now!” James exclaimed jumping out of his chair.
“Like what?” Albus asked him.
“Like go find mom?”
“And how are we gonna do that, James, we don’t even know where they took her…”
“Actually we do”, Lily said hesitantly. “I heard them say it as they were leaving. They’re taking her to that temple dad found that book”.
James covered his face with his hands.
“Mexico? Mexico! How the hell are we gonna go to Mexico?”
“And that’s why we should wait for Uncle and Aunt”, Albus said tiredly as he sat down next to Hope’s chair.
James groaned but gave up.
“I just hope they’ll be here soon”.
