The Spiraled Staircase of Truth

HeavensEyes588

Ginny walked up to her room and placed the book on her bed before throwing herself down next to it and opening it up to the star chapter.

She started reading. A death eater must be able to hide all his/her feelings from others, especially love. That must be concealed the most. Feelings for others should not disturb your work. This is-

She shut the book when she heard someone knock on her door.

"Come in!" she cried.

Her father strode in and stood next to her. She sat up straight but she kept her finger in the middle holding her spot. That was unwise because her father picked it up and opened it to that chapter. His eyes scanned the page briefly before commenting.

"Why are you reading this?"

"I picked it up after Draco finished and found a star there so I thought it might be interesting to see what he likes to read. You always told me to be nice to everyone so I'm trying to see what he likes so I know what to talk to him about."

"He reads this because his parents allow him and he's a death eater trainee. I don't want you copying him or reading what he reads. Stick to fairytales and anything else but dark arts. Got that?"

"Yea," she said angrily. "it's not fair."

With that her father took the book and walked out the door and back down to the library. Her father denying her the right to read the book only made her more anxious. So she decided to ask the mini-master at the dark arts to help her.

She walked outside to the Quidditch field and found him hanging in air looking around.

"Malfoy! Malfoy!" she cried.

He looked down and saw her. What on earth does she want with me?

He flew down next to her.

"What now?" he asked grumpily.

"You know that book you were reading? Well, can u summarize it to me and teach me it or whatever?"

"What are you playing at? Your father wouldn't want you reading that book and I'm not going to teach you it."

"But if I don't know anything how am I supposed to survive being a death eater?" Draco considered this for a moment before answering.

"Fine. Every night in your room at 9 pm."

"Why not your room. My room's a mess."

"Because it is none of your concern what my room holds."

"Oh, I see. You have dark objects and stuff you don't want us to see. Oh, wait until I tell dad."

"Your acting like an immature 2 year old. Fine. In my room then. Don't be late or I'll lock the door. Got that?"

"Yea, thanks," and with that she skipped off into her house. She raced to the library when she bumped into Ron.

"Whoa, where are you going so fast?" he asked.

"Library," she replied, panting.

"That eager. Reminds of Hermione."

"Can I please pass?"

"Yea, sure, sorry." And with that he walked away.

Ginny ran inside the library when she heard a pop nearby. She looked around and heard voices from outside the library. She walked out to find Narcissa Malfoy talking to her dad. She walked in and a sat in a chair near her father.

"Ginny, so nice to see you dear. How are you adjusting, dear?"

"Umm... Fine." Ginny replied.

"Excellent. Then Severus has been quite a father. Draco will be escorting you to your initiation. I believe your house has Quidditch practice. That won't be a problem for you since you don't fly. Maybe Draco should teach you some time."

"No offense, but why does Draco have to come with me?"

"Because it'll be easier that way."

"Are you a death eater?"

"No."

"Why not. Your husband is and your son is. How can you allow him to be one. I mean its awful! How could you marry one is a better question. Now I know why Draco's so cold all the time. I don't want to be one and I'll get out of it somehow."

"You can't get out of it, my dear. And I married Lucius for reasons you'll understand when your older."

At that moment Draco walked in.

"Mother. What are you doing here?" Draco asked. Ginny giggled. "What, may I ask is so funny?" Draco said.

"Why do you call her mother and your dad father. Why not mum and dad? Why so formal? I mean it's not like your addressing You-know-who or something."

"Because formality is politeness. And he's your grandfather and you still call him You-know-who. That's what I don't understand."

"Because he doesn't deserve any amount of politeness and I can't wait until someone vanquishes him from this planet."

"You shall not speak like that, young lady." Her father said sternly.

"Why not Just because your afraid of saying it doesn't mean I can't. I don't even get why you don't stand up to him and tell him he's an idiot and get it over with. I mean all of you can kill him together if you tried."

"Tell who he's an idiot?" asked an anonymous voice from behind. Lucius's figure stepped out from behind the shadows.

"Hello, father," Draco replied.

"Who's the idiot?" he asked again.

"You-know-who is," Ginny replied angrily. Lucius looked at her angrily.

"Severus, the girl obviously has some language issues. We will have to discuss that later."

"I do not have language problems. You're a coward for not standing up for yourself and not following some nutcase. "

"Crucio," Lucius said. Ginny screamed as she fell to the floor clutching her stomach in pain and agony. Tears rolled down her cheeks. After what seemed like a century, Lucius removed the curse.

"Lucius that was uncalled for," Snape stated.

"She has to learn sooner or later. She's weaker then the rest. How do you expect her to stay in tact?"

"In other ways. Now Ginny, Draco, please excuse us for a moment," Snape said.

"And Draco, dear, help Ginny off the floor," Narcissa stated affectionately.

Ginny lay there on the floor trembling from the pain. Draco hadn't wanted to have any contact with her yet but he followed his mom's orders. He pulled Ginny up and pulled her put of the room and up to his.
