Chapter 11: The Entrance
~/
Ginny and Angelina met with Ron outside his dorm room. He held his new Blaze 3000, Harry's Firebolt 500, Ginny's Firebolt, Angelina's Firebolt 500, and a look of anger on his face.
"I can't believe we're doin this!"
"It's the only way Ron." Ginny said, putting a comforting hand on her brothers' muscled arm.
He sighed and opened the door to the Head Boy bedroom with the password.
"Shit! Hermione's in there with him." Angelina cursed.
"We'll knock her out." Ginny whispered and then crept into the bedroom.
Hermione heard the whispers and looked up. She shrieked as Ginny pointed her wand in Hermione's face. Ginny used a simple spell to make Hermione unconscious and she fell limp in Harry's arms.
"What the? Hermione? You… Ginny? What're you doing in here? Why're you dressed like that?" Harry asked, still half-asleep.
"Sorry Harry. This is the only way." Ginny stated sadly and pointed her wand at Harry. He grabbed his and made to do the same spell as she, but was momentarily shocked when Angelina and Ron entered wearing similar dark clothing to Ginny.
Ron held up his wand, "Sorry mate. It's the only way." Ron said the spell and watched, torn, as his best friend fell to the ground.
"Get his invisibility cloak." Angelina instructed as she braced her arms under Harrys', ready to lift him. Ginny lay it out on the ground and stepped aside. Angelina stopped suddenly as she was hefting Harry upward, "Why the hell am I doing this?" She asked before flicking her arm out, her hand expanded, catching her wand as it flew from her jackets' sleeve, "Wingardium Leviosa." She said, Harry floated and she placed him on the Invisibility Cloak.
Ginny smiled and tied the invisibility cloak to Harry's body, with invisible ropes. She then made the body float and follow them. They calmly walked out of Gryffindor tower and met with Blaise and Draco down in the entrance hall.
"We ready?" Ginny asked with a heavy nervous sigh, taking in Blaise and Draco's brooms, both Blaze 5000's.
Blaise nodded, he wore black jeans, a black turtleneck, and black gloves.
Draco squeezed Ginny's shoulder reassuringly and said, "You sure you want to do this? We can send Auror's instead."
"Then the Death Eaters' will just kill our families. We have to do this Draco." Ginny pressed urgently, "I just wish you'd stay here. But, if I knocked you out, you'd just come when you wake up."
"Well. What's this?" A cheerful voice asked coming up behind them, "Mister Zabini, Mister Malfoy, Mister Weasley, Miss Michaels, Miss Weasley, there'd best be a good explanation for this."
"Headmaster!" Ginny squeaked.
"We're here on Prefect business."
"It's to my understand though the you don't need brooms for Prefect business, Miss Michaels."
"Professor Dumbledore, with all do respect, its not really something we informed you of for a reason." Angelina lied, "We find it easier and less tiring on brooms. And it's faster to avoid Peeves' tricks, sir."
"Right." He looked at them over the half-moon spectacles that always adorned his face, "Just be careful." He watched as they turned and started walking down the hall, "Unless I am mistaken, Hogsmeade is out these doors."
Angelina, Ginny, Blaise, Draco, and Ron froze, Ron bumping into Draco and Ginny.
"Sir, we can explain." Ginny started.
"If you haven't sent word or aren't back by noon, I'll send Auror's to the Mythology museum. Be careful, and make sure you don't kill Harry before you get to Hogsmeade. It'll suck if your leverage dies." He chuckled and walked away, leaving five very flabbergasted teens behind.
Ron open and closed his mouth several times.
"C'mon." Angelina said, "It's two o'clock already. The spell on Harry only lasts twenty-five minutes. It's been on ten. It'll wear off by the time we get to the museum."
Angelina mounted her broom and the rest followed suit.

"Dammit." Angelina said when they landed by the edge of the Forbidden Forests, behind the museum, "How come I got to take Harry?" She shoved Harry off her broom. He had waken up above the Shrieking Shack and had since then been trying to steer the broom around. The only way she'd been able to stop him was by threatening to kill or hurt Hermione.
"Because you weigh less. We all have packs and stuff." Ginny answered, heaving hers on to the ground.
"Why do you have packs?" Angelina asked.
Ginny pulled out ropes and tied them around Harry's wrists, behind his back. She then put a bandana around his mouth like a gag. She then tied her own hair up.
Angelina nodded understanding, "Ok, so, we'll be going in and straight to the left. Remember the map." She looked around, "Where's Luna?"
"She decided to not come." Ron said.
"You left her behind didn't you?" Ginny asked, hands digging through the sack she'd brought.
"Yep." Ron answered lamely.
"Angelina, can I talk to you?" Ginny asked, going off to the side, Angelina following.
"Sup?" She asked, taking a deep breath.
Ginny hugged her, "Love you."
"Love ya." Angelina replied, wrapping her arms around Ginny.
"Be careful sweetie." Ginny whispered.
"I will. But you need to too." Angelina said into her ear, "Go talk to your brother, can you send Blaise over here?"
Ginny nodded and sniffled, "I'll see you in a few minutes."
Blaise looked up from talking to Draco to look at Ginny. He looked over at Angelina and walked over to her, "Whats wrong?"
Angelina looked at his face and then kissed him slowly, "I need you to be careful. I need you to come out of there alive." She whispered.
"Yeah, I do too." He joked, then sobered at her serious face. He grabbed her face and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry. I'll come out." He whispered and brushed the pad of his thumb across her cheek, "C'mere." He said and hugged her.
Over with Draco and Ginny, similar conversation was just about to start.
"Hey." Ginny said, she sounded breathless as she walked up to him, "You can stay guard out here ya'know." She offered.
"No." He firmly stated, "I'm going in there with you. I want to protect you."
"I don't need protecting, Draco. You taught me how to take care of myself." She said, her hands smoothing out his sweater. She wanted him and was regretting not staying with him last night.
"Gin, I l…" Draco started.
"Don't. You can't tell me that right now. Because then I won't want to go in there, I'll want to go back to Hogwarts and let the Auror's try to extract my family."
"Let's do that."
"No!" Ginny said, tears threatening to fall, "I can't do that. I can't let them risk my family's lives."
"Ginny!" Angelina called softly, "We're going." She said.
Ginny sniffled and kissed Draco before running off to meet with Angelina and her brother.
"Did you do it?" Blaise asked softly, walking up to Draco.
"No. She wouldn't let me. You?"
"Couldn't. We sorta made a silent promise to wait till this shit was over before we do anything."
Draco nodded understand and clapped Blaise on the shoulder, "Ready to walk to your death?"
"Yep. You?"
"Yeah." Draco sighed and they walked over to Ron, Ginny, Angelina, the bound Harry, and asked, "Ready?"
"Ready." They confirmed.
"Don't do this!" Harry said, his gag falling.
"Shut up, Boy Wonder." Ginny hissed, "You're our leverage for our families. Harry Potter or ten lives?" She weighed her hands up and down. The one she'd raised when she said 'ten lives' raised higher than the other one, "Ten lives."
"Virginia Anne…" Harry started chidingly.
"You're not my brother, you don't call me by my full name." She said and forced the gag back into his mouth.
Ginny and Angelina walked ahead first, Draco and Blaise behind pushing Harry between them both, Ron behind them.
"We go in, left, we go straight through that room, right into the Family room, then take a right into the Olympians. Then we just follow the rooms into Zeus' where Voldemort is." Angelina whispered as they neared the museum.
"One last time." Ginny said, "We ready?"
Angelina nodded, Blaise nodded, Draco said 'yes', Ron sighed and nodded, Ginny smiled.
Angelina stopped and put her hands around the dirty brass handles, "Arg!" She grunted when they didn't move. Blaise pushed her aside softly and his hands replaced hers on the left one and Draco went to the right one and they tugged.
The doors opened creakless and they sighed in relief. Angelina and Ginny walked in first, then Ron and Harry, then Draco and Blaise, shutting the doors.
