P.S. I Love You

Chapter 4: Our Story Begins

The sunlight poured into the room through the drawn-back curtains. Harry and Draco were in the kitchen whispering.

"Where could he have-" Harry started but Draco cut him off.

"Be quiet someone might hear you!"

"Well, we're going to have to tell them sooner or later."

What in the world are they talking about? What are we going to find out? Questions fluttered through Ginny's mind. She pulled the blanket off of her and got up. Harry and Draco quickly looked from each other to her in the living room. Ginny walked across the hall, went into the kitchen, and said, "Tell me what's going on. I know something's up. I heard you."

"Nice going loud-mouth," Draco said annoyed, to Harry.

Ron felt his head was about to explode. He had no idea where he was and why in the world he was at this place. He looked around and saw someone staring back at him.

"Bout time you got up," this man said...he seemed strangely familiar...and then he realized.

"Wormtail?" Ron gasped. He couldn't believe it. What the heck was going on?

"Yes. I would prefer if you called me by my real name. Peter. Or rather Mr. Pettigrew. Oh wait! Master Pettigrew! Yes you shall call me Master Pettigrew," Wormtail said babbling on about a rather stupid subject.

"How about I call you by what you are," Ron said getting up.

"And what would that be?" Wormtail replied turning his back to Ron and messing with something.

"How about 'Butt hole'. That suites you well." Ron replied. Wormtail turned around to look at Ron.

"How about I torture you until you say what I want you to say. That will suite me perfectly well."

"How about no, Butt hole," Ron said, sneering at Wormtail.

"Cruc-"

"Wormtail!" barked a man standing in the doorway. Ron knew immediately who he was. His head was still hurting badly but anyone would have known who it was. It was no other than Voldemort still looking the same as he did 5 years ago. "You know your aren't to harm Mr. Weasley here. It will ruin our plan. Now...put down your wand and go out. I want a word with Mr. Weasley."

Wormtail put down his wand, as Voldemort had asked, and proceeded to go out of the room.

"Now, Mr. Weasley, finally you have woken up. You have been asleep since you got here this morning. It is now nine o'clock at night."

Ron just stared at Voldemort, not daring to say a word.

Voldemort continued on. "As you might know, you are bait to get Mr. Potter to come here. That is all I will tell you on that matter. I cannot risk you figuring out how we are doing this, in case you might try to figure out a plan yourself."

Again, Ron just stared blankly at Voldemort. He still couldn't really comprehend what exactly was going on.

"You will stay in this room until I decided to move you. And of course you will be fed and well kept, but barely. I don't like to be that generous to prisoners, but yes you will get food and stay alive, in order for our plan to work. That is all I have to say." And with that, Voldemort swept out of the room. Ron fell onto his back and rolled over to his side.

"I can't believe this is happening." Ron said out loud.

Back at Draco and Ginny's house, they were all up with the exception of Julian. Harry was talking to Hermione and Ginny about last night and where he thought Ron might be. Of course they were only guesses, seeing that he didn't know crap about this situation.

"You don't think he could have run away. Do you?" Ginny said in a small voice.

Harry looked at her, then he finally replied. "No I don't think he did. He seemed okay to me last night, and any way there is no reason for him to have." Harry knew Ron wouldn't do that. He doesn't seem the person to.

Draco walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. He had a big hunch that this had a lot to do with Voldemort. In a few minutes Ginny came to sit down beside her husband, and burst into tears.

"I'm so scared," she said through her sobs. "I know this has something to do with You-Know-Who. He's been at the large for the past 5 years, and I just knew one day he would do something like this to try and lure Harry to him. I just knew it!" Draco wrapped his arms around Ginny and said to her, "That's exactly what I was thinking. It's going to be all right Ginny. Everything is going to be fine." Draco only half believed it.
