Ginny sat in the common room on a chair. Well, she was actually sitting with her feet over the arm of the chair, but no matter. She had been half asleep, having had nothing to do all day. So she was completely surprised when an owl came swooping into the school and dropped a letter on her lap. She almost fell off of the chair, actually.
She picked the letter up and looked at the front critically. Her name was written in scratchy black ink, and there was no official seal on the envelop or even a return address. Ginny's stomach clenched at this. She knew who it was from if it was sent like this.
She tore it open and groaned;
Ginvera Molly Weasly Sulai,
Please expect a Time official at your current place of residence, Hogwarts School, tonight. You need to explain a few things to us.
There was no signature, but still Ginny's heart was in her throat. She hated the Time officials. Sh had once been one, along with Conan, but had stopped messing with the flow of Time upon her divorce. What was the problem now?
She had no clue what this was about, but was pretty scared. The Time officials were the only ones who could actually make someone really disappear so that they never existed.
"Trouble ginny?" he asked stepping himself out of the shadows as he seems to be good at these days.
This time, Ginny did fall out of the chair. She landed on the floor with a slight thud and a yelp. The letter flew from her hand and slid away from her as paper is apt to do.
"Ow!" She said, sitting up and rubbing her head. She looked at him, "No. Nothing." She said, shortly.
She wasn't sure if she wanted Devon, or Sarah, or Cho, or any of the younger students she taught to know about this. It might creep them out a bit.
reaches down and picks up the paper and hands it back to her without reading it, he did believe in privacy after all. "Sorry, didnt mean to scare you." He exclaimed offering her a hand to help her up.
"Thanks." She took the paper and stuffed it in a pocket of her black robes and took his hand, standing up. She let go of his hand and ran both of hers through her hair, her eyes jumping around the room with a slightly panicked look in them.
"Ginny, youve been here for me enough....whats wrong, let me return the favor....well with the exception of that whole werewolf fiasco. I owe you one."
Ginny laughed, darkly, "You don't want to help me with this. You were shocked just by learning I killed thousands of people."
"i believe the exact word was Millions....and that would shock anyone....but you've personally helped me. Which is more then many since........well you know......I would like to help you in return."
"There's not much you can do to help, I'm afraid. These people can't be taken down in any sense and I'm at their mercy..." She told him, shaking her head. Then she shot him a look.
"And why does me killing surprise you anyway?"
shrugs...."you seem.....no offense....somewhat innocent."
Ginny let out a laugh, that wasn't what she had expected, "No offense taken. I don't think I've heard that one before." She shrugged tapping her side, where the letter lay folded in a pocket.
what is it?
"The letter?" She asked him, frowning. She wasn't sure she wanted to talk about this.
ahhh is that what it is?
from the ministry?
from the prime minister?
from the queen?
from Noah?
At the mention of the name Noah, Ginny twitched, slightly. But she shook her head, for it was not the Noah he was thinking of.
"It's from the people who control Time."
control time?
"Yeah. You know, tick tock...1832...hours...minutes...?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I know what time is. Painfully aware of it." He sighed, wishing even a few minutes with his mom that he could remember. "Why would they want to talk to you tho?"
"Because I was a worker for them not too long ago." Ginny said, softly, "And I did things that I['m ashamed of."
want to talk about it?
"Which it?" She said, frowning. She wasn't going to tell him her life story, which was full of her mistakes.
any of it.
"Not especially. I'm not my biggest fan." She told him, shaking her head. "Conan would tell you in a heart beat. He's rather proud of some of the things we've done..."
Cho came in apparently looking for someone. She saw Ginny and said,"Hey Ginny.....there's a problem huh? I think some people are looking for you right now."
well im here for you.
((wait when are the time officials supposed to come?))
Jessie walked down the stairs *Hey Ginny, Cho, Devon* she said nodding a hello to each one of them. She looked at everyone's face in turn, then said*Alright guys, whats the deal!?*
smiles at cho and gives her a kiss.
Cho was surprised and smiled kissing him back slightly blushing.
"I've got the gift of one-liners, and you've got the curse of curves..."ron was singing to himself as he entered the common room. He stopped abruptly, when he saw his sister looking distressed."hey sis...whats up?"he said, looking concerned.
((oh yeah I forgot you guys were siblings.....LOL))
((Yes, we so often don't RP together anymore. Lolz. *waves to Ron* Hiiiii!))
Ginny turned to Ron, he knew something about this whole mess, "Time Officals are coming here...they want to talk to me..." She told him, frowning.
Then the clock above the mantel piece stopped clicking, the clouds in the sky stopped moving, and everything representing time simply froze in place. Ginny's face paled as the door to the common room walked in and four or five men in white robes stepped through the portal.
Cho realized they were time officials.
((umm are we all frozen too?LOL))
ron moved next to his sister, and whispered.."which thing are they after you for?" (heyy...thanks for the pic comment, lol, I didn't even have to ask!)
((No, Cho, they coulda frozen you guys, but they didn't. Silly goose. :) ))
Ginny gave a small shrug as two of them stepped forward.
"Ginerva Sulai-" One of them started.
"Weasly." Ginny corrected softly. He looked confused and Ginny cleared her throat, "I um...went back to my maiden name."
They gave her a blank look, the continued, "You are under arrest." The others moved around her and grabbed her wrists, snapping on handcuffs that glowed bright blue.
((FYI, these guys are really hard to beat. Brute force isn't going to do anything.))
Cho stepped up and shouted,"Hey what are you trying to do....unhand her!"
Ron would have loved to have tried to fight back, but he wasn't stupid.He knew they were strong."On what charge?"ron asked.He gave cho a calming look.
Cho backed off and said,"Yeah....you haven't said why she's arrested...."
"For adding and escaping criminal, then the murder of said criminal." The one speaking told Ron.
Ginny was shocked and confused, "What are you talking about?" She asked, softly.
"Mahn Herion."
Ginny's face fell at the name. This was serious.
Ron picked up the letter they had sent."And, I suppose you have evidence?" He asked calmly. He glanced at ginny. He didn't know if she had actually done this, but he was going to help her.
They nodded, but didn't offer any information, "That will be disclosed at her trial." They pushed her towards the door and Ginny scowled, darkly.
"I didn't kill him, you know." She told the one.
"ah.naturally." ron said. "And does she have a lawyer appointed?"He asked, pointedly, more.to ginny then to them.
"Not a court appointed one. She is a judge. She is able to defend herself." He told Ron as they led Ginny from the room. He made to follow, which would close the portal between them.
"right." He stood behind him, planning on following himself.
Cho watched as they took Ginny away. She had an urge to run after them and Ron did too so if he left after her so would she.
"Stop!" He raises a wand and conjures up a whole lot of galleons, alot more then more then a few people see in a lifetime. "Whats the Bail, I'll cover it." he exclaimed holding up the rather large amount of Galleons.
((LOL....what the heck....I don't think that would work....))
"Bail? There is no bail." The man said, his eyes rather blank. He stood, his head tilted and looked at Ron.
"You are related to her, arn't you?" He asked, although that was obviouse. They both had red hair and freckles, only an idiot couldn't see they were related.
((LOL....where are you going though Ginny...Askaban until your trial?))
"Ha of course they are....can't you see...."
((No, you see, Time works through out the entire universe, not just in our little world, therefore, there is a separate place, outside of our universe. That is where Time is controlled from. Confusing, I know...))
((oh I see...so can I go...because as you can see I would really like to go and I think Ron too....but it seems like a no for me but a yes for Ron.....LOL))
(( you guys can all go if you ask, lolz.))
"Can I go with her?" Cho asked her voice softening now.
The man looked at her, offering a nod.
"If you want to."
Cho smiled and looked up at the man's face. She thought she saw him smile kindly but there wasn't a smile when she looked up.
((now we wait.....wow that was easy.....LOL))
"yes. And I'll come to." He said.(lol, I didn't know it would be that easy...)
((I know.....I thought they would ask why and everything....wait is this a trick....is there a limit?))
((Nah, I'm just making it semi-easy for you guys. It gets harder.... ;D ;D...let's just say, for his sake since he hasnt been getting on that Devon comes with us.))
The man nodded at them and followed the ones leading Ginny out of the school and down to the grounds. A large portal was opened there, but it made no noise as portals are apt to do. The man stepped through first, then the others p ushed Ginny in.
(...saying you guys were through the portal)
Upon landing, one could see they were in a dim, lark stone room. A few torches were lit along the walls, giving a flickering light. Clocks could be heard in the hallways stemming off from this main room. They led Ginny down one hallway, and a few waited for Ron, Cho, and Devon. They were to be given rooms to stay in. Their stay would be alot more comfertable than Ginny's.
((okay....Ginny sorry but in the 'All Grown Up' rp, I apparated you and Devon there...just join in the conversations I guess....LOL...where is Devon....))
Cho gave a small wave of bye to Ginny and slightly smiled. She was unsure where they were going now.
Ron looked skeptical. this had been far, far to easy. these rooms looked far, far to cushy. And the food in the mini fridge was far, far to expensive.He waved goodbye to ginny.He looked at cho."what do you make of this place?"
((.....LOL.....nice description....))
Cho said softly,"Suspicious.....look at this place....this is far too easy....I bet it's a trap....."
((.....mini-bars.....you make me laugh!))
Ginny, however, didn't get any sort of mini bar. In fact, she'd be lucky if she was fed between now and her trial. She was literally thrown into a cell, hitting the stone floor with a small thud. She rolled and sat up, rubbing her shoulder. This was the second time she had hit the ground today. And that hurt, alot.
She sat up, swiping a hand across her face as they closed her cell. Where she was was almost dark, with little to no light. But she could see very well, having been here several times before.
((several times huh....wow.....LOL....so when are you going to make our lives here miserable?))
"I don't know why they've given us rooms..." He narrowed his eyes. " I know they didn't give ginny one." (yeah, I try when I can. ^.^ )
"They've given us such luxarious surroundings while Ginny doesn't.....really suspicious...." Cho said making sure there was no cameras hidden in the room they were in.
((Soon enough...))
Ginny leaned against the bars f her cell, linking to Ron first, because that was easiest, them being siblings and both being very powerful psychics.
~Ron...have they been in to see you yet?~
As soon as Ron recived that, there was a knock on the door of the room.
~no, but they are now..~ Ron answered the door. "er-yeah?"
Cho looked out to see who it was.
Did not look happy. In fact the others could see that there might be trouble. Devons Eyes were inky black, but not completely yet, about 60% of his eyes were completely black, the rest was ice blue.
A man in a white robe stepped into the room. He was diffrent from the rest of the Time officals, as in his face was not blank. He was smiling. His hair was dark brown, his eyes even darker. He seemed almost giddy.
"I suppose you want to know what your little sister has been up to, eh Mr. Weasly?" He asked Ron, practically hopping from excitment.
Looks over at the 'official' while he spoke. "You better be treating her right." He snarled.
He reaches out with a thought like she had told him so long ago now ~Ginny?~
~Yes, Devon? What's wrong?~ Ginny's voice echoed in his head softly, sounding tired. And she was. Being taken from the school and thrown into a dark little cell under supposedly false accusations would make anyone tired.
The offical raised his eyebrows, "I do nothing concerning your sister. They won't let me near her. They think I will compromise the investigation." He giggled, rather childishly. "But they have allowed me to come and answer any questions you have."
~Are you well? and if things start going badly......Can my Hairy friend be of any help?~ He asked, she knew what he was indicating.
"First you can tell us were she is and Show us that she is being treated well." He demanded.
~No, I'm afraid they've delt with werewolves...and if things get too bad for them, they'll just freeze Time and you. I only broke out of here once...~ Ginny told him, softly.
"She is in a cell, and being treated just like every other prisoner here." He told Devon, firmly, "And no, I cannot show you to her. She gets on visit before her trial, and none afterwards if found guilty. I suggest you save that visit."
~How did you manage it the first time?~ he asked her
"Do you know who i am sir?" This being one of those very very few times that he will ever drop names. "I am the Nephew of Minerva McGonagall. Who is a very close friend of Albus Dumbledore, infact you could say that our two families are almost like family. Unless you want trouble with everyone that they can rustle up. which im sure even you in your......time warping ways.....would not like to do....I advise you find a way to make an exception."
~I had help...~ She told him, suddenly not saying more.
The man thought for a moment then remembered who those people were, "You don't seem to undertsnad the vastness of our control." He told Devon, smiling, "To take care of them, we simply go back in Time to their births and stop them from being born. Ms. Sulai gets no exception, even if she was one of us."
((When he refers to Ms. Sulai, he is talking about Ginny.))
"You are talking about Miss Weasly not this.......Sulai person." He stepped towards him. "I insist that you bring Professor Dumbledore here or Mr Fudge.....Or do you not believe in the right to coucil for so called prisoners?"
"Oh, that's right. She went back to her maiden name. Her married name was Sulai." He shrugged, not caring. Ginny's name was still Sulai as far as he was concerned, "And, from what I understand, Mrs. Sulai is a judge and understands our ways. She is more capable than anyone at defending herself."
"Ahhhh so you do not believe in rights here....we should remember that.....That IS a Choice....not an assumption sir." He snarled again this time taking a step closer to the smaller man. Devon was larger then what he was when he got here, just over 6'5" tall now and closer to 250 pounds now. "Courtesy would be for me to walk with you over to that cell you have her in, watch you give her some food and then ASK her who she would like to represent her.....I will even be nice enough to swear not to talk to her while I watch you do this."
"When Mrs. Sulai joined us, she most vehmently decvlared that she did not want anyone from her time involved in the trail if she was accused of a crime. She even wrote it down and signed it. I'm surprised that she hasn't demanded you all be taken back. So I suggest you be quiet until you do get your chance to talk to her." The man snapped, not afraid of Devon in any aspect.
"Guess what Enstein......Things change.......times change.....hell you should know that......theres alot of people involved here.....and a war your interfering in. So Shut your piehole and take us to her." He snarled again.
The man raised his eyebrows, "No." He told him, turning back to Ron, "Your sister will get to see you in what you will percive as three hours. No sooner, no later." He then turned and walked out of the room, annoyed with Devon.
Ginny, who had been listing to the whole ordeal from all the way back in her cell (she was still linked to Ron and Devon) shook her head slightly. She had indeed signed a paper for that, and the only reason she didn't demand they be taken back was she wasn't sure how this would work out. She was unable to see the future in a place where all Time started and ended.
Growls loudly and literally punches a hole in the wall nearest to him.
"Well, I'm glad I got to ask questions about my own sister."he said, faking a jovial voice. ~not that I needed to...Anyway, don't suppose you have a plan?Or Should I start formulating?~
turns to look at Ron, his features were gathering a very lupine look at the moment and his eyes were almost entirely black, he wasn't in a good mood. He muttered an apology towards him, which seemed real enough, but was sorta hard to tell with the growling meant for these Time dinks.
Ron just nodded in understanding. "No big deal, mate."
~We should be careful, we dont know if they have anyone who can monitor this conversation~
Ron nodded. "We better not say anything important then." He walked back and forth, still waiting for ginny's response. "No Lawyer...I can't believe they're not giving her a lawyer."
growls at that....."that makes me mad." he snarled, and found himself apologizing for snarling at Ron again. He was trying to regain control and force himself back down but it was difficult in this maddening situation.
~They can't, Devon. I'm on a secure...channel I suppose is the best word. And no, Ron. No plan. I'm guilty...for at least half of it.~ Ginny sat with her legs crossed and her eyes closed. To anyone walking by, it would seem she was meditating, and she kinda was. Talking to Ron and Devon, as well as searching for something, took a bit of concentration.
~ah...I Guess we'll just have to wait~He sighed out loud.
~The thing I don't understand is...why did they suddenly decide to pick now to arrest me? Yes, I did help him escape, but I didn't kill him. We had called a truce.~ Ginny told them, lightly. ~He's also how I got out of here the last time.~
Ginny's body was still, her mind searching every Time she'd ever been to. She had to know whether Mahn was really dead or not. He was, after all, a huge threat to her alive.
~Ginny, with all the respect in the world.....Hush........They maybe able to hear what we're talking about, and then use whatever, Im sorry i didnt think of it earlier. Just know ill take the risk if i have to get you out of there.~ He replied. Devon had more tricks then david coperfield.
Cho nodded and looked grim. She didn't know Ginny's outcome and what woud happen to her.
Ginny giggled, softly. She couldn't help it. Devon telling her to 'hush' at the moment was very funny. Especially since she had made sure no one would interrupt their conversation, securing it with her mental blocks, which she didn't need to use here. The ones that normally held back the flow of visions. She couldn't get visions here.
~Oh you hush, Devon. I'm talking to my sweet brother Ronniekins.~ Ginny told him, laughter apparent. Then she stood up, walking over to the bars and yelling out.
"Hey! I need to talk to someone..." She called. A Time worker, came, his face blank as the others.
"Yes?" He asked. Ginny smiled.
"Hey, can we move my trial up? I want to get this over with." She told him. He nodded, indicating he would see what he could do and walked away.
~I just asked them to move the trial up. Which means you guys can meet with me sooner.~
Cho laughed softly and sent her a message hearing all those messages. ~Okay good.~
Heavy breathing can be heard from a ventilation shaft inside the walls of Ginny's cell. Someone was there.
((Um, that would be hard for you to do. Since the portal from Hogwarts closed and it's impossible to get there without the portal, which only opens for Time workers))
((LOL..yeah and you're like a first year aren't you....unless you did something like Ginny here did :o :-X ))
((figured hed be another prisoner of theres....just managed to get out, sorta))
((How? You'd need a crime and such. If you can figure all of that out, go ahead. But I'm still going to end up having Ginny go to trial.))
((Figured something stupid with his brother....he's not really guilty of anything just bad timing and judgement with his brother))
((Um, you do know this isn't Azkaban, right? It's a high crime facility for Time crimes. When something happens that affects the flow of Time (for example what Ginny supposedly did) they bring them here to ralise the effects of their crime, and then Time workers go back and fix it.))
ahhh kk nm then))
((Haha, it's okay. If you want, make a new RP and we can join.))
((dont know really were to start...))
((make a new thread and just start! it's easy.))
((you can start with your crime and all....))
((see Azkhaban under slytherin house if yer interested))
(are we going to continue?)
((yes we are.....now where were we?))

~I just asked them to move the trial up. Which means you guys can meet with me sooner.~
~Well that's good.~ Cho sent to Ginny hearing that last message. ~The sooner the trial the sooner we get to leave.~
~knock on wood with that one, cho.I hope we ALL leave.~
~I think she was trying to be optimistic.~ Ginny told him softly, for only Ron to hear. She kept it so only he could hear her for the moemnt, ~I don't really know what my punishment will be.~
Not long after she says this, several people come to her cell, leading Ginny out and to where Ron, Devon, and Cho are. They knock on the door softly, just as the man with dark hair shows up.
Ginny turns and stares at him for a long time while they wait for someone to open the door.
steps over to Ginny "You ok?" he asked, his eyes still jet black. He was not happy.
"Yeah. I'm fine. What do you think they were doing to me? Twisting my arm?" She asked, smiling slightly. She looked to th Time workers, "No offense, guys, but you normally don't sit in on these things. I'd appreciate it if you left so I can talk to my brother and friends. Alone."
The man with black hair scowled darkly and nodded to the others, "We'll be just outside, Sulai."
"Yeah yeah." Ginny said, waving him out of the room. She pushed it till she heard the definite click of it closing and turned to thm.
"I have to go to trial, guys."
Cho said sarcastically,"Oh wow.....what surprising news.....we didn't know...." Then her tone of voice changed from sarcastic to concerned. "Why do you need to go to trial....I still don't get it.....what if you're proven guilty because of stupid reasons.....what's going to happen to you?"
Ginny smiled reassuringly, "Oh, don't worry about it. I'll be found guilty, but they won't kill me." Her smile said she had a secret, but her eyes were slightly concerned. That man with the dark hair. He was so familer...
ron knew the secret. "Is there any way for you to actually win?" he looked at his sister."a loophole, something.."
Ginny shook her head, "No, I'm afraid not. I did help him escape. But I didn't kill him. Wish I had." She shrugged, lightly.
Ron sighed."Well, is he definitley dead?"
"I have no clue." Ginny told Ron, honestly, "I've been trying to figure that part out..." She paused, thinking again of the man with dark hair. Why was he so diffrent from the rest? Was it the fact that he was showing emotion?
"Well...it certainly is interesting that they would charge you out of nowwhere."
"Mmmhmmm...."Ginny said, sighing. She tugged on a strand of her hair, sadly, "I helped him escape months and months ago...back before Xaver disappeared..."
"ah...well, how is doom suiting you?"he glanced at her."because unless we can figure out if he's really dead..."he trailed off.
Cho sat there quietly gathering all the information into her head. She looked at Ginny's face and noticed it looked abit confused as she was talking to Ron. "What's with the confused face, Gin?" Cho asked softly all of a sudden.
"Hmm?" Ginny asked, glancing at Cho. She smiled, though, at Ron. "Doom? I think not. If I die, so do many secrets." She giggled, slightly, looking alot happier than she felt.
((what's going on....that is, what should I say to join?))
Cho shook her head not wanting to discuss it further.
((well sorry Jessie.....you might have to join later, we're here because of a portal.....))
((oh ok, just tell me when I can join.....))
