Chapter 3

The door swung shut and Harry watched as it bounced slightly in its frame. It opened again as Ginny walked through the door and he watched it again before speaking.

"It wasn't Ron"

"What wasn't? What happened to Hermione?" She said as she sat next to him at the table.

"Yeah... It wasn't him" He said as he looked at her. The anger that had been in her eyes had gone and they stared back as he continued. "It was... Someone else" He had almost said the Death Eaters but he wasn't sure that he wanted to tell her.

"Someone else? Harry, thats kinda obvious..." Ginny said softly. The look on her face told him that she knew he wasn't telling her something.

Turning away from Ginny, Harry re-focused on the door. The plain wooden door didn't move but he could hear people moving on the other side of it.

"Harry? Whats the matter?" Ginny said, placing a warm hand on his shoulder. "I know your keeping something secret... What is it?"

"Its just... If they're aiming at getting rid of us now... If they're aiming at the protectors... Then your in danger..." Harry said, his gaze never leaving the door.

Ginny moved uncomfortable in her chair. No-one had told Harry Voldemort's plan to recruit her. And she really didn't want to, but...

"Harry... There's, something, I haven't told you..." Her tone was awkward, her voice hesitant. Harry turned to look at her as she looked away. He caught the look on her face and was worried. It was pained and full of sadness.

"Gin... Tell me" He said as he turned on his chair so he was looking straight at her.

"Last year at school... The last time Voldemort took over... He... said something" She said as she tried and failed to look at him. She just couldn't face him right now.

"What did he say? Did he say it to you? Did he hurt or touch you?" Harry could feel the anger building in him as he stared at Ginny.

"Yes, yes and yes... Your scar started hurting and Alicia ran to get Dumbledore... Harry, he was waiting for him. As soon as Dumbledore entered the room you stopped holding your scar... I noticed it... But too late... He grabbed my wrist and pulled me in close to make sure that Dumbledore didn't try anything..." She said, rushing to get it over and done with quickly, tears pouring down her cheeks as Harry turned her round to look at him. "He said that Jamie couldn't always protect Alicia and that Ron shouldn't let Hermione out of sight... He said that he would spare me so he could... so he could turn me into a Death Eater... When I asked him why me, he said it as because I was your girlfriend... Harry, he thinks you'll be dead so you can't stop him... Harry..."

Harry cradled the crying girl in his arms as the door opened again to reveal a worried Alicia and a recovered Hermione. Harry's face was full of anger and loathing and it was plainly scaring the two girls.

Alicia stared at Harry for a moment before whispering something to Hermione. Turning back to Harry, she spoke softly.

"Harry, please..." Her voice held a slight hint of pleading but Harry ignored it.

"None of you told me anything about it...Why?" His voice was hard and cold, making Hermione step backwards slightly. Ginny heard nothing.

"That's not the reason Harry... We knew how you would react... We don't hate you" Alicia said calmly as she stepped further into the room. Hermione followed her back stayed back. She went to speak but Alicia held her hand out.

Harry sat at the table hugging Ginny while Alicia and Hermione stood on the other side of the room. Harry's face hadn't changed but Hermione could tell that Alicia was communicating with him telepathically.

"I don't care! You still should of told me! She's MY responsibility! How would you like it if Jamie said that?" He shouted, causing Ginny to look up at him.

"Harry?" Her voice was quiet, but it was all Harry needed to withdraw from the conversation.

"Shhh... It's okay..." He said as he pulled her close and shot Alicia a warning glance.

Turning to Hermione, Alicia motioned that it was time to leave.

'Don't come near me again...' Was the last thing Alicia heard before the door swung shut on Harry's anger and Ginny's tears.
