 My apologies, more story later ... Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert
Neville for all his lovable clumsiness, forgetful tardiness and shy boyishness could on occasion try to compensate and do something entirely stupidly heroic. *Otty uses and adverb just to show you can* Ginny did not know that like herself who was always one trying to prove her own merits in a long line of brothers with extremely auspicious credentials and her own only visible credit being that she was the only girl, Neville wanted to show that he could be great. This of course was not always followed by judicious judgement.
So as Ginny stood over the array in the burnt house surrounded by men in black robes and dark tattoos she figured to send out a secret distress signal and allow the villains to take them perhaps find out what she could about who they were and where they were headquartered. Neville however, had other plans.
"I suppose you're all constables?" Ginny asked.
"Aye, you suppose right missy," another voice came from behind them. Ginny did not bother turning around, she knew already they were grievously outnumbered. She turned to look at Neville, to tell him to play along and lie low but it was already too late.
"Y-y-you're not ... y-you're not taking us anywhere. Stupefy!"
Once the first salvo was shot Ginny could do nothing but back up her friend's play. She ducked, touching the array she felt the power still emanating from it and fired a spell at the man behind her, "Inflamo!" The man tried deflecting the spell but was flung back by the explosion anyways.
Neville fired a Jelly Legs jinx which missed, though not by much, the man angered by the audacity of the boy fired back with a killing curse. Neville stood in shock as the green light of death came at him but Ginny standing up levitated a rock to block the spell. At least, that had been her first intention. All the stones from the fallen wall rushed at Neville and the blast hit the rocks.
"H-How how'd you do that?" Neville asked cowering on the floor. "I thought you were going to ... stone me."
Ginny ran over grabbed the boy's hand and started running. "I don't know Neville but we need to get out of here."
The three men in black robes followed after them over the fallen stones. Ginny and Neville ran down the little hill the house had sat on into the streets of a nice muggle suburb.
"We stick out like sore thumbs, Ginny, where are we going to hide from 'em?"
"I don't know Nevs. I don't know." She said.
They ran down the streets holding hands as the afternoon waned and darkness promised to envelope the world. They turned down a darkened alley where a cat meowed at them. He looked up at them and decided to follow them instead.
"These two look like an easy mark," the cat thought to himself.
Elsewhere, a girl in a long red cloak walked atop the buildings of the city, watching the muggles running around beneath her. She was hiding from Death Eaters, the Ministry and well from Professor Dumbledore. It was the latter that had her most afraid. She ...
