Chapter 14

They were sleeping peacefully (somewhat) until -

"AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHAT THE BLOODY -"

"WHAT'S GOING - HARRY!"

Harry (O) and Harry (Y) both sat upright in their beds, clamping their hands over ther heads and trying not to cry out again.

"That... bastard... I'M GOING TO KILL HER!" Harry (O) raged, jumping out of bed, grabbing his wand and heading for the door. His scar was still acheing and he was still shaking.

"What happ-" Ginny (O) started, tears in her eyes.

"I'M - GOING - TO KILL - BELLATRIX - EFFING - LESTRANGE!"

Remus, Molly, Arthur, Sirius, Ron, and Hermione ran in.

"He had a dream as well."

*

Both the Harrys had had the same dream - they saw Lily being pulled away from Tonks, a bewlidered look on her face and a empty look in her eyes (which were darting aroiund) as Bellatrix pulled her down the hall.

Then Bellatrix threw her into some kind of cellar; Harry (O) wanted to cry when he saw Lily get shot with the curse for the first time.

He never wanted his little girl, his youngest child and only daughter to know what the Curciartus Curse felt like. He never wanted her to feel what he had before, what Ginny had - he didn't ever want it to happen, and it tore him apart.

When they finished telling everyone their dream, there was a silence. Ginny looked like she was going to cry, but she held it back.

"This is all my fault," Harry (O) said quitetly, getting up and leaving the room.

It was still late at night, but no one made any move to go back to sleep. Ron (O), Sirius, Arthur, Remus and Molly talked in the kitchen area with their voices lowered about the possibilities of where Lily could be, as always. Ginny (O) went to talk some sense into Harry (O), and Hermione (O) stayed with Harry and Ginny (both Y) in kind of an awkward silence.

"We've got to locate his Horcruxes too," Ron (O) said, "and the Sword of Gryffindor was destroyed years ago... so that means the only thing we can use to destroy them is a Basilisk's fang."

"Oh, how convinent," Sirius muttered, rolling his eyes. "Because we all have Basilisk's fangs in our pockets ready for use. Where are we going to find one of those?"

"There's only one place. But we might not need one, maybe Harry knows another thing to use..."

"How would he know?" Remus asked.

"I dunno, he knows a lot of random things we somehow seem to need later on. It's actually kind of weird. This new Minister of Magic guy is a little suspicious to me, this just keeps on popping up in my head... Wouldn't send out a search for Lily and Tonks. Kingsley, and how he dissapeared so suddenly. He's a downright prat, this guy is, and I think he might be a bit mental."

"That is a bit... curious," Arthur said.

Ginny (O) suddenly walked in. "I've got it. This new Minister guy - I'm going to call him Mr. Prat - is a Death Eater. He kidnapped Kingsley and locked him away somewhere while he applied as new Minister. When Mr. Prat won, he knew he couldn't possibly let us anywhere close to finding Lily and Tonks, so he wouldn't send out a search. Right now he's stalking us down, and Ron, guess what, I think you're right - he's completely crazy and idiotic. And mental. Like you."

"The isn't the time for joking around," Ron (O) reminded her.

"I wasn't joking around. I was being serious. It's the only explination of why Mr. Prat is such an -"

"There mught be something else we haven't -"

"Maybe he's like Fudge," Remus said, "and doesn't want to believe things are happening again."

"I wonder where Kingsley -?" Molly began.

"We have a search going on for him," said Ron (O). "In secret, like this one, except it's going nowhere at all. No trace of him, just disappeared..."

"What about Malfoy?" Sirius asked. "I mean, isn't he a Death Eater?"

"Formerly," Ginny (O) said. "He didn't want to be. His dad made him - pretty horrible dad, if you ask me. But in the battle he was trying to stop Harry from destorying one of the Horcruxes, and Goyle set the Room of Requirement on fire. The idiot, he ended up killing himsef from that very fire. Anyway, Malfoy was trapped in there, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione found some brooms and started flying toward the exit. Well, they turned back and saved Malfoy. And Malfoy's mum told Voldemort Harry was dead, when he was really alive. He's good, at least I don't think he's a Death Eater."

"Harry scared the crap out of me when everyone thought he was dead," Ron (O) said. "I swear I jumped three feet into the air when he just popped up, grabbed his wand and ran away... That was hilarious."

"Why, what happened?" Remus asked.

"I'll tell you later," Ginny (O) said. "Ron, you are such a git, that was not funny!"

"Well, not to you because you're boring. To everyone else it was hilarious, and then Voldemort was so mad his face was so -"

"Go to bed, Ron. You sound tired."

"Fine..."

*

The next morning everyone was tired from staying up. Harry and Ginny (both O) didn't even get out of bed. Everyone else was out eating breakfast when Ginny (O) suddenly jumped out of bed, screamed, "I'VE GOT IT!" and ran out. Harry (O) didn't even move, he was used to that kind of stuff.

"Everyone, everyone, guys, GUYS!" Ginny (O) yelled as she ran into the dining room, bumping into Ron (O) but ignoring it. "I've GOT IT!"

"What, a disease? We already knew that." Ron smirked.

Ginny scowled. "No, not a disease, hypocrite. THE SOLOUTION!"

"To what?" Sirius asked blankly as he chewed his cereal.

"Well, I was lying in bed, thinking when -"

"That's what she said," Ron (O) muttered to Remus, who almost choked on his food for laughing.

"Shut up guys! That wasn't even funny. Anyway, I just was thinking when I thought, 'Isn't there some kind of spell we could use to find out where magic is performed?' So I tried to wake Harry up but it didn't work because he's like as hard as a rock when he sleeps -"

Ron (O) burst out laughing. "That's what she said!"

"OH MY GOD RON!" Ginny (O) said, doing a faceplam but trying to bite back laughter. "Don't think like that. I meant as still as a rock. Not hard."

"Who's as hard as a rock?" Harry (O) asked as he walked in sleepily.

Ron, Remus, and Sirius wouldn't stop laughing.

"Screw you guys," Ginny (O) muttered. "Harry, is there a spell we can use to detect where the unforgivable curses came from?"

Harry stared at her blankly for a moment, but then, slowly, a grin spread on his face. "You. Are. Brilliant, Ginny."

"I know I am..."
