My fourth fan fic!! the title says it all
- since i've never been asked to put a disclaimer in before and have done now i'd better - i credit Jk Rowling for the creation of the characters... and what ever else and that she's an inspiration not copying ... Chapter One “Harry, Harry wake up”
“Huh – what’s going on?”
“We’ve got to go – now”
“Their here?”
“Yes, I can hear them behind the trees on the right of the clearing”
Harry waved his wand and the tent disappeared into his backpack.
“Come here” he held out his hand for her to take and she grabbed it. They apparated into an alley way behind a busy street,
“We need to get into the crowd” he peaked out, “We have to keep moving for a bit”
She nodded,
“We might have to change what you look like again Gin”
“Blonde hair this time then?-” She smirked, “-And maybe a new face”
“I’ll always like you better as a redhead and your Weasley nose” he grinned tapping her brown hair with his wand as it changed to blonde,
“I’ll stay as I am” he smiled a hand ruffling the messy Draco cut.
“If either of us is red we’ll be found” she grinned. “So stick with the blonde for now”
“Let’s go then”
He held her hand and then linked it through his arm, “Did you get any sleep?”
“No, Azkaban’s still fresh”
He held her closer, “I’m sorry”
“Don’t be, you got me out of that hell hole”
“You’re going to be ok” he smiled looking down at her, she still managed to make the same face without her normal features,
“We’re on the run from the law enforcement squad, in the middle of a city during the Christmas rush”
“You’re innocent and we won’t be found” He led her down the street “We should catch a train – go to the middle of nowhere”
“We were in the middle of nowhere” she sighed, “At least to me anyway”
“Then we stay where it’s packed – but move to a different city”
“Ok”
“Then I think we should head towards Hogwarts”
“What but -”
“It’s the safest place apart from putting you in a vault at Gringotts, it’s going to be empty in a few days that’s when we can apparate into Hogsmeade and go through the tunnel in Honey dukes”
She nodded and kept walking until she saw something – “Harry” she hissed stopping, both of there faces paling as they looked at the front of a newspaper there own old faces mirrored back.
“It was going to happen sometime” he handed over the muggle money for a copy of the paper.
“We need to get a room somewhere and get you some sleep”
“It say’s we’re murderers on the run Harry”
“You didn’t kill anyone neither did I – they did” he said pointing to the paper, “I’m Will and your Sarah and we’re students travelling around England” he guided her into the hostel on the corner,
“We need a two bed room for the night”
“You got £10 cash and names”
“Will and Sarah Reynolds” he handed over the money,
“Married?”
“To my little sister - no”
“Oi” she grinned and punched his arm “Only older by a minute”
“She’s my little twin sister” He grinned “But she’s a big pain in the butt”
He handed over a key, “Up the stairs on the right, the bathrooms at the end of the corridor on each floor”
“Thanks” Harry smiled and they made there way up,
“You just think that lie up” she asked,
“Yeh and with the hair we look more related then as a couple which is what there looking for”
“You really are thinking like an auror”
“It ‘all come in useful for next year” if they got that far, and if they hired someone that managed to break into Azkaban and take a prisoner with him on the way out,
“This is grotty” Ginny sighed “It’s about as nice as my cell” she said looking around,
“It’s just for tonight, we’d better not use magic anymore or they’ll find us”
“Why would they think it was me Harry? How could I kill my own brother?”
“I don’t know Gin, but whatever happened to Percy was not your fault”
“He was standing there pointing at me with his wand, telling me that I should tell the ministry where you three were if I knew, I took out my wand but I didn’t say anything I didn’t cast a spell and then there was the green light and he was gone, he was just lying there with his eyes open and a shocked look on his face” She shivered remembering the moment,
“Then what happened?”
“They grabbed me, like they knew I’d cast the spell, like – like they were waiting – Harry you don’t think?”
“They set you up Gin”
She looked up at him sitting on the bed parallel “Scrimgeour but why?”
“I don’t think he’s thinking for himself anymore”
“He’s gotten close enough to him to imperious Scrimgeour?”
Harry nodded, “If its right it means there not after you Gin, there after me using you and Percy”
“Do you think there’s a chance he’s still alive”
“I don’t know, I’m sorry, but until we get more information we can’t be sure that was even Percy”
She focused on the floor for a moment, thinking and then looked up at him “Why did you come alone?”
“Ron wasn’t speaking, he hasn’t opened his mouth at all since it happened, Hermione’s hasn’t left his side, the paper just said you’d been taken to Azkaban for killing him and I went straight there to get you out”
“They think I did it don’t they, my family think I’m guilty”
“You can’t think like that-”
“But they do, they never told you there’s a chance I might be innocent they just assumed guilty straight away”
“I don’t think it’s like that -”
“I’m right though aren’t I, I know you believe me, you rescued me from an impenetrable prison on a rock without out any evidence, but my own family turned there backs the moment I need them”
“I have all the evidence I need, I know you better then anyone else, you wouldn’t kill anyone let alone your own flesh and blood” he got up and wrapped his arms round her as she cried into his chest, “They’ll believe it soon, we’ve just got to give them proof”
“I’m a Weasley that should be proof enough”
“It will work out, I’ll make it work”
“We’re on the run in a city I don’t even know the name of”
“It’s Birmingham; we’ve gone to the midlands”
“How do you know where to go?”
“I came here once; I caught a train from Surrey to here under my invisibility cloak to get away from everything for a day”
“Did you do it a lot?”
“It was an easy way to get away without anyone knowing; I could sneak up and down the stairs early in the morning or late at night and just be away from them for a whole day”
“Wish I had a cloak to do that”
“You’ve got me you’ve got my cloak” he smiled “Now its time for you to sleep” He gently moved round and laid her down on the bed,
‘How long have I got you for?’ crossed her mind quickly but she replied to him instead with, “What if I can’t?”
“You’ve got to keep trying or this isn’t going to get any better Gin” his fingers stroked through her hair tenderly and he smiled looking down at her,
“You would know right” she said with a smile back,
“You know I do” he leant in and kissed her forehead and made to move to his own bed but she reached out holding his hand,
“Stay here… please”
He knew what she meant and lay down beside her; she moved his hand to rest on her waist, the other under his head as he looked at her. She closed her eyes hesitantly.
It left him in thought. They weren’t together, he told her they couldn't be while this war was going on, but then this happened. He’d been in the forest with Hermione and Ron and they got hold of a prophet at a known wizarding village near by.
They’d tried to convince him it was a trap to lure him out of hiding but he had to find out for himself, she wasn’t going to suffer for him, not Ginny - he - he – his thoughts choked themselves as if he were speaking aloud and they wouldn’t go any further. He couldn’t put her in that kind of danger, he couldn’t love her because it would kill her, and it nearly had already.
