The Spiraled Staircase of Truth

HeavensEyes588

Ginny eyes fluttered open as she examined her surroundings. Unfortunately, they weren't what she was expecting. Not the family of Weasleys, but her dad and Draco.

"Finally! I don't have all day Weasel! Wait! I can't you that anymore! And now I can't make fun of you or I'll be making fun of Professor Snape! Great!" Draco stated in extreme dissatisfaction.

"Wow," Ginny stated warily, "you just admitted defeat."

"I did not."

"Whatever." Ginny was too tired to argue. She reviewed what she had heard yesterday. How could she be Voldemort's granddaughter? No wonder Snape, I mean dad, had no problem saying his real name. It's his father-in-law. Ginny didn't like her present situation. It was even worse then being a poor Weasel.

"O gosh," she sighed, "Did you have to tell me that? You could have just told me she's dead."

"But you would've been curious. Anyway, now you know everything. Actually almost everything. Um, well you see Ginny, when you were born you were out on the initiation list." Draco's jaw dropped.

"What!" said Draco and Ginny in unison.

"Draco, you already know what it means. It isn't a good thing in you case to be on the initiation list. As you might have heard me tell Draco before, an initiation is when you join Tom and his group of death eaters-

"So that means I'll join you, too." Ginny replied nonchalantly.

"No. You have to understand I'm not working for him but I'm a spy. I gather information and give it to Dumbledore and he-O great. Draco stay here with her for a moment, I'll be back. O wait, are you coming?"

"I don't have a choice." He replied.

"Ginny stay here and don't move. I'll be back," her father said before disapparating with Draco.

They must have been called. I'm confused. I have to join the group of death eaters? But shouldn't I have a say in this? And if my name is on the list wouldn't You-know-who already know who my real parents are?God, I'm confused. I have to ask them when they come back. Snape's my dad? Lord, this is weird. Calling him dad is going to be hard to get used to.

Ginny waited for about 1 hour before they both fell down in front of her.

"Don't you two know how to land?" she asked.

"Silence. You have no idea what we have to endure." Her father commanded.

"Whatever," Ginny said without thinking who she was addressing. "Anyway, I have a question. If my name was on the list wouldn't he know that you're my dad and his daughter's my mom?"

"Yes, he would. But we didn't use Ginny Snape or Ginny Weasley. We made up a name for you. Annabelle Jackleen Ferren."

"Then why would he allow me on the list if he doesn't know who I am?"

"Because as long as the person is powerful and known by one of his death eaters, that's all that matters. Your mom signed you on and since he knows her very well he thought you must be good enough."

"Mom signed me on! How could she! That-

"I still don't know why she did it. And since she's dead we'll probably never know. But-

"Why did you marry her?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you marry You-know-who's daughter?"

"Do you think she used her real name? She had a fake name. She was known as Rose India Kayleen. That's what I knew until 5th year when she got her initiation. She came to one of our meetings and a fight ensued. I didn't speak to her for a year and she didn't try to communicate with me either. We stayed like this until I remembered she was a wonderful person even if she was related to him. So I talked to her and her we are now."

"No wonder your so miserable," muttered Draco in a barely audible voice. But Snape had picked it up.

"Excuse me Mr. Malfoy. I have to be mean to her just like everyone else or they would suspect something. And I'm not miserable. I just contain my happiness very well."

"Whatever," muttered Ginny. Her father gave her a menacing stare before speaking again.

"Any other questions form you two?"

"Yea," Ginny replied," when's my initiation date?"

"September 25."

"What! That's only a couple of months away. O by the way, how did you get past your father. What happened? Tell me!" Ginny whined.

"My father didn't know Snape hexed him. He just reported what happened and then asked me what happened after that. I told him I took Ginny back to the hotel and contacted Snape and he bought it like kids to Quidditch."

"That last phrase doesn't work since not all kids enjoying hovering in the air. "Ginny replied sourly.

"Just because your afraid doesn't mean you count as everyone. By the way, professor why don't you fly?" Draco asked.

"That is none of your concern. Now if there are no more questions I'll explain the rest of your summer plans. You are going to say here-

"Where are we?" Ginny asked.

"Snape's Study. Now if I may continue, you will stay here for the rest of your summer. I spoke with your dad and he said it will be fine since he doesn't want any more attacks like that. Yes, Ginny?"

" Where is this place?"

"It's America. Los Angeles, California to be more precise. And to be even more precise, Bel Air."

"O that's so neat! Alice always talks about how neat the states are! I can't belive I'm right here! I want to go shopping, and to amusement parks, and to ice skating rinks, and movies and-"

"Please stop your rambling! It's unnecessary." Draco replied. " Why can't I stay with father and mother?"

"Because they still have business to attend to. Now as to what business, I may not say. Let's just say they're on a wild goose chase. Now as to what you can do here, there's plenty. I'll show you to your rooms momentarily. I have a huge library and study. You can catch up on your homework or just read. There are muggle stories as well as magical stories. You may play in the gardens but you are not allowed in the one that is farthest one form this place. I will nor tell you why as you do not need to know every secret in this house. You are not allowed in the dungeons and you are not allowed in my room-

"OOOOOO," Ginny taunted.

"Silence. I forgot how annoying kids can be."

"Excuse me, but you were a kid once."

"Yes and I feel sorry for my parents."

"Who were your parents?"

"What?"


"Who were your parents? You know your mom and dad."

"Oh. Well if you really want to know my parents names were Ethan Snape and Margaret Slytherin."

"What!" Ginny and Draco roared in unision.

"You heard me very well. My grandfather was Salazar Slytherin. My grandmother was Rowena Ravenclaw."

"Wow. Too much stuff for a day. Oh my god. They're my grandparents. No way." Ginny uttered in disbelief.
