The Strike

________
Chapter 13
________

Molly was barricading herself on the garage, she knew it wouldn\'t hold much longer and she started to calculate a way out of that mess. She was unharmed, so was Fred, but George\'s leg had been seriously hit and Ron was severely hurt and getting worse by the minute. They had to do something fast.

They had arrived at the Burrows only a few minutes before, apparating on the front yard to celebrate Ron\'s new apparating licence. Arthur was coming later by floo with Ginny after he got out of the office.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ron got hit by a spell and fell to the ground. If it wasn\'t for the twins they would all have fallen by now. They reacted faster than Molly could think and started to cast spells on the attackers as she dragged Ron to the closest shelter. The garage. She had caught a glimpse of them before the twins manage to close the double doors. Death Eaters.

\"We have to do something, get out of here or ask for help.\" She could hear Fred saying while George was checking Ron \"We can\'t simply stay put and wait for them to...\"

BOOM!!!

The side wall was blown away, leaving the way open for three Death Eaters to step inside shooting spells in at the Weasleys who were taken too much by surprise to react in time to do something. In a matter of seconds they were all immobilised on the floor.

\"Well, look what we have here\" said one of the hooded figures

\"Potter is not here\" said another.

\"It doesn\'t matter. We kill these ones and get Potter some other day\" said the third, who seemed to be the boss.

\"hehehe, where do we start? How about the twins? Do you think they will react the same way to the curse?\"

\"Don\'t be silly. We start with Potter\'s little pet here\" said the boss pointing his wand at Ron \"Let\'s make sure we send a clear message for that brat\"

Molly whimpered as she tried to break the bonds to protect her child. Tears were falling free from her eyes but somehow see never saw clear in her life. Her son was barely conscious on the floor while a wand was dangerously pointing at his heart, the twins struggling on her other side, with another wand pointed at them and a third Death Eater was standing almost in from of her, also pointing his wand.

Molly Weasley was not the kind of woman who would let any child be hurt, let alone one of hers. She could feel her magic fighting the bonds holding her down and for a second she was almost convinced she was succeeding, but she could not get herself free. Starting to panic she notice something that made her heart miss a bit, crawling out of Ron\'s robes was a black snake. Her mind started to race even faster.

\"Did Ron get bit? Is it poisonous? I don\'t remember ever seeing a snake like this one, did they bring it with them?...

Her thoughts were cut short by the Death Eater standing on top of Ron. He aimed his wand and started to cast a spell, but the snake seemed to realise something was going on disappearing inside his robes and before anyone could react the man shouted.

\"Argh! Something bit me. Something is biting my leg... \" and he started to jump up and down around the garage, his companions turning to him to try and understand what was going on.

Molly though that was a good opportunity to turn the table if they could get free, but before they manage to throw the spell off she saw them. Behind the first three Death Eaters, who were to busy finding out what was going on, another five apparated, wands drawn, masks in place, robes billowing around them as they made their way to the garage.

\"Oh, Merlin, please, not like this. Please, just one more chance to fight, let me save my children. I\'ll do anything. Let me save them\"

She was so caught up in her prayer that it took her a moment to realise what was happening. The new arrivals shot spells at the Death Eaters and standing over the prisoners and quickly remove the binding spells holding them. Three of the new ones started to tie the first ones together while the other two started to check the Fred and Ron.

The Death Eater checking Fred removed his mask. It was Snape. The Weasleys calmed down after seeing his face. It had to be a group from the order to rescue them. Snape handed a potion to Fred without saying a word and performed a healing charm on his leg.

\"Snape, what happened?\" asked George helping his brother to sit up and drink the potion.

\"How is he?\" Molly asked the same time to the hooded figure checking Ron. She gasped as Lucius Malfoy took off his mask.

\"Severus. This one is seriously hurt, I can\'t figure out what they used on him\"

\"Malfoy!!\" The three Weasleys shouted at the same time \"Snape! What is going on here?\"

Snape moved to Ron\'s side casting detection spells to figure out what was wrong with his son\'s boyfriend.

\"Lucius, If you please be so kind to explain, I believe we have to move. We don\'t have much time\" he said without taking his eyes out of Ron\'s unconscious form.

\"Mrs. Weasley, boys\" Said Lucius in a very polite tone \"I\'m afraid you been lied to\"

\"What do you mean? What is going on?\" asked Molly very aware of the fact the their wands were being pocketed by the Death Eaters. They were still defenceless.

\"Perhaps knowing who your attackers really are would help. Humm?\" Lucius said, gesturing for the others Death Eaters to remove the mask of the ones on the floor.

\"Oh! Alastor! Mundungus! Kingsley! What is going on here? Since when have you became Death Eaters?\" Molly shouted.

\"They are not Death Eaters, Mrs. Weasley\" said Lucius calmly \"We are\"

\"What?\" Molly was frantic, nothing made sense anymore.

Snape got up and made a gesture to the others Death Eaters, one of them pick up Ron, while Lucius help Molly getting up before lending a helping hand to George, who was helping Fred, the two others pick up the false Death Eaters, Kingsley was unconscious for some reason and before the Weasleys could realise what was happening they felt the familiar tug on their bellybuttons and they all disappeared.

Ginny was ready to faint, a few minutes ago she was reading a book in her room at the OotP headquarters when Harry ran in asking for a favor and now she was sitting in a large sofa with a cup of tea in from of her and the Dark Lord himself sitting not ten feet away from her. How did that happen?

* flashback *

Ginny felt a tug behind her navel and felt herself being pulled, in a moment she was standing in the middle of what looked like living room, a very expensive living room judging by the décor. No one was around.

“This must be another hideout for the Order… a much nicer one. How come we don’t use this one as a headquarter? I bet there is a lot more rooms in this place that at Grimmaud, if the size of this one if anything to judge from. Now, where Snape or Trelaway could be. Harry did say it was urgent” she mused in a heartbeat while looking around and deciding that yelling was the best option.

“PROFESSOR SNAPE! PROFESSOR TRELAWAY! HARRY NEEDS HELP” Ginny started yelling as she moved to one of the double doors, before she got there the door opened and Snape came running in. Ginny was to too busy handing him the note to notice more people coming in the room “Professor, it’s from Harry, he said it was a matter of life or death”

Snape took the note from the girl and read it, turning around to talk to someone standing behind him.

“My lord. Harry’s boyfriend is being attacked as we speak”

The hair on the back of Ginny’s neck stood still as she notice who else was in the room. From where she was standing she could see Snape, Lucius Malfoy and at least four others she recognise as Death Eaters…

Wait! What did Snape just say? Harry’s boyfriend? Ron is Harry’s boyfriend. Ron is under attack? Who… a voice made her shut her mouth before she utter any of her questions. She had never heard that voice before, but she knew without a doubt who was speaking. She knew exactly who was in that very same room with her.

“Snape, Malfoy, Avery and you two, go now and make sure the boy is save, and I want to know who is behind the attack. GO!”

Snape and the others bowed and apparated away. Now there was no one standing between Ginny and the wizard she prayed everyday to never see again in her live. She was too scared to even begin to wonder how come Harry had send her here, that Ron was under attack and that she had no way of getting out of wherever she was. Everything but mind nubbin fear faded away.

She barely register someone standing next to her and never felt Trelaway putting an arm around her shoulder and stirring her towards one of the sofas where they sat side by side as the teacher said.

“Come now, child, there is nothing we can do. Let’s have a cup of tea while we wait for them to return”

Ginny sat there with the cup of tea in front of her getting colder while she could not bring herself to tear her eyes way from the wizard sitting not ten feet way from her.
