(thanks tegan!) 1. Ginny -------- Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for new characters and plots. J.K. Rowling has given me this opportunity by starting this great story. And I am only making up my own. Though it'll never be compared to hers as even good! *sob sob* "Ginny you don't have to go! Mom and dad are fine! We've been like this for years and we're still alive," roared Ron as Ginny told him what she was planning to do for the summer. "You don't get it Ron! I promised I'd go! And what's so bad about wanting to earn a couple of bucks," Ginny reasoned. Fred and George strode over to where Ginny and Ron were arguing for the umpteenth time that day. "You guys never give it a rest do you?" George asked them. "Of course not! Ron still thinks I'm a 5 year old!" Ginny exclaimed. At that moment Harry and Hermione arrived out of nowhere. "Hey Ginny! Hey Ron! What's up? Are you two arguing again?" Harry questioned. "Of course not, Harry. They're just having a civilized conversation like they always do,” Fred replied. Hermione looked over at Ginny questioningly. "Ginny, why does it look as if you're leaving soon?” asked Hermione "Because she is! She's going to work for those stupid Malfoys!" Ron stormed. "WHAT!" Hermione and Harry screamed in unison. "Yep," replied Ginny coolly,” I'm going to work at the Malfoys over the summer. Well actually just Malfoy Jr. His father and mother are going away to Holland for the summer for "private business" and I got the pleasure of taking care of Draco." Harry and Hermione stared at her dumbfounded by her response. Work at the Malfoys? Harry never knew they had been that poor! "Gin, you sure you want to do that? I mean his father's a death eater and his mom's who knows what! Malfoy is probably just the same as his dad! You could be risking your life!" replied Hermione in a know-it-all tone. There goes Hermione, always stating the obvious. It wasn't as if Ginny didn't know Draco. She had just completed her first year at Hogwarts and it wasn't something she was going to forget easily. The Chamber of Secrets had left her quite tired out over the last two weeks. But she had promised to go and she wouldn't break the promise, even if it was to the Malfoys. "Well, while you guys stay here and debate my future, I've got to go! Oh my god, I'm going to be late! Oh great!" groaned Ginny. She picked up her luggage and streamed out of the garden, inside the house, and into the kitchen. "Mom! Dad! I've got to go!" Ginny said. Her mom and dad dashed into the kitchen. Her mom gave her a tight squeeze and a kiss in her forehead while her dad briefed her on the importance of staying out of trouble. She took floo powder and got into the fireplace. "Malfoy Mansion," she screamed, as the feeling took over and she disappeared out of the fireplace. 2. Arrival and Accomodations ---------------------------- Ginny fell onto a cold marble floor. She gazed around as a breathtaking chandelier caught her sight. It was made of gold with emeralds and sapphires dangling around the edges. She got up to get a better look as a figure stepped in front of her. “And what may I ask is a weasel doing in my living room?” sneered none other than Malfoy Jr. “I'm here on business Malfoy and I thought you out of all should know why. I'm her as a babysitter,” she looked up to see his reaction to the thought of being baby-sat over the summer. She had made the deal with his parents but he didn't have a clue yet. She continued, “I'll be her all summer and the least you could do is show me some hospitality.” At that moment a lady at the age of about 20 walked into the room. She had beautiful hay blonde hair that looked as thin and felt as slippery as water. She had the dreamiest blue eyes Ginny had ever stared into. She looked like a beautiful figure and Ginny could not believe she was related to Malfoy. “Why hello there darling! You must be Ginny Weasley. I hope Draco here hasn't been any trouble. Draco your father and I are going away on PRIVATE business to Holland. We will not contact you and you should only contact us for emergencies. Ginny is here to look after you while we are gone. Oh and be nice and don't forget to show her your room. Bye sweetie,” she said as she planted a kiss in Draco's cheek and patted Ginny on the shoulder before disappearing into thin air. His mom was not what Ginny had expected. She had not done the deal in person so she had only seen her handwriting in the letter. But she was amazing. Her voice sounded like a cool breeze in the middle of a hot August day. And she looked stunning. As Ginny surveyed Draco she noticed he had got her outlook, too. He was shockingly handsome and had dreamy bluish silver eyes, too. *O lord he's gorgeous!* She thought. Wait! She mentally slapped herself. You're calling Draco what?! And why am I using his first name? “Weasley you're supposed to be working not checking me out. Now follow me so that I can show you your room,” he replied coolly. If he had any shock thanks to his mom's message, he showed none. Ginny followed him. The house, or should I say mansion, was huge. It had about 27 floors and over 250 rooms. And maybe even some underground. She looked out the window as they passed a few. “Wow!” she gasped as she stared at the amazing sight that was outside. There was a huge garden. And in the center was a huge maze. There was also a forest far off at the edge that reminded her of the Forbidden Forest. And to her shock off in the distant corner were three mini-gardens: a vegetable patch, a fruit patch, and a garden with flowers and trees. But by the look of it she thought deer and rabbits might live there. “Weasley stop day-dreaming and hurry up! What is your brain that poor it can't even pay attention?” Draco roared. “What a cliché Malfoy! What happened to your pitiful disses? Have they melted away along with your brain?” she questioned as she walked into the room. Draco had no time to answer as her mouth dropped. They had finally reached her room and it was beautiful. It was green and silver and the floor was glass. She walked around inspecting everything. The bed was off near the window. The sheets and curtains were pure velvet and silk. The bed was made of rosewood and the bathroom was all porcelain. The soap smelled of jasmine and chamomile and the shampoo was blueberry and a hint of jasmine. She inspected the dressers to find that they were just as beautiful. They were ancient. She could tell. But of course they looked young and new. They were rosewood, too. She plopped down onto the bed and it was heaven. It was springy yet comfy and she lay down to look at her room forgetting that Draco was still there. “I'm quite aware that this might come as a shock to you. Of course who was I thinking that you were used to the best of things. Maybe I should move you to the house-elves headquarters. Maybe then you won't day-dream as much and actually work. Come on follow me.” Draco stated. “No, please Malfoy please let me stay here. I promise I won't day-dream! Please, please, pretty please..” she whined and begged. Finally Draco agreed, but did not know why. Had he just been nice to a Weasley? He must get some sleep. “Here's the schedule, and please try to remember. You are to wake up at 4:30 am each day and head straight down to the kitchen after fixing your room. You are to fix my breakfast and Harmony Ellis will tell you what I like. Then after I come down to eat you may do my room. You must clean the bottom living room, dinning room, studies and salons once every 2 weeks. The kitchens and bathrooms are to be cleaned every day. The dungeons are never to be seen by your eyes unless told otherwise by me. You're not allowed in my mother or father's rooms unless I tell you otherwise. The rooms from the 3rd floor to the 27th are not to be cleaned by you unless I tell you too. Lunch is to be served promptly at 1:30 pm and dinner at 7:30 pm. You are allowed to answer the door and phone. Your allowed Sunday's off and Saturday's you only work form 2-6 pm. Got that?” he asked. “Yep,” she replied before squealing happily and unpacking. Draco walked out of the room muttering girls and left Ginny alone. Two hours later it was 7:00 and her door creaked open slightly. “Are you dressed?” asked Draco. “Yea, why?” “Ellis is waiting for you. Change into the robes in the dresser near the window and come out.” “Okay” Draco closed the door and strode down the stairs to the library, his thoughts rushing through his mind. When Ginny had arrived he had barely recognized her. She had been wearing a skin-tight goldish-yellowish tank top and hip hugger orange pants. He had figured out she loved color and was afraid of the things she could do to the room. Ginny put on the maid's robe and apron and rushed downstairs. Harmony was at the foot of the steps waiting for her. What she was like? Ginny was soon to learn. Thank yous: **Rea Yume: Ginny's going for money!

But something was odd about her. Her aura was quite strong. She had long brownish reddish hair that reached her waist and her eyes were a bluish brownish color. Her face was deciding whether to be pale or dark. It was caught in the middle. She was about 4 inches taller than Ginny and looked to be around Draco’s age. Ginny was hopping she would make a new friend. “And what may I ask are you staring at? Hmm? No day-dreaming! Now come on! Hurry up! Follow me! You are as slow as Draco said.” Harmony stated. Ginny was wrong. No friendship or mercy could be found in her eyes. They were just as ruthless and cold as Draco’s. O great! As if Draco wasn’t enough. She followed Harmony into the kitchen and listened to yet another lecture. “Okay Weasel this is Drakkie-poo’s favorites: Breakfast is either sunny side up eggs with ketchup, English muffins with an egg and some butter and FRESH orange juice, or cereal. He likes to drink herbal teas and orange juice. Milk is likeable but still avoidable. You have to pick a fresh batch of jasmines every day for the table flowers. For lunch he enjoys sandwiches either turkey, ham, or a hamburger but no hotdogs. For dinner he expects fancy food such as rice and beans, chicken with roasted potatoes and vegetables on the side. He likes carrots and broccoli but nothing else. He also enjoys turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes. Oh and if you want to get on his good side I suggest you make pasta. Penne and spaghetti are personal faves. That’s it. Now got any questions?” Harmony asked. Her voice was rough but had a girly tone to it. It was quite interesting. “Yes, as a matter of fact I do. What do you do?” Ginny asked. “Hmmm…well let’s see. I sit around and boss you. That’s my job. And to be there for Draco when he’s upset is also my job. Got that?” Harmony replied and stomped off before Ginny could get in another word. Dinner was in a bit so she decided to go get the jasmines. It was funny how Draco could like a flower, especially jasmines. It was her personal favorite, too. She dashed over to the small garden she had seen from the window. She picked out a handful and ran back. She got a vase and placed them neatly in the middle of the huge maple table. Then she set to work on the food. She was planning to start off my making penne with salmon sauce. She was preparing the food when she heard screaming coming from the room opposite the kitchen. She ran over to see what was happening after placing the food on the table and setting everything up “What! What do you mean you can’t! I thought…I..I..” It was Harmony’s voice and she seemed extremely upset. Ginny decided to listen a bit more before entering. “I can’t go and that’s it. Now that Ginny’s here I have to keep an eye out for her. Or else father will pin me on the wall and throw daggers throw me. You understand her background and she needs someone to keep an eye out for her. Now please exit immediately.” At that moment Ginny walked in. “I heard screaming and I came to see what happened. Is everyone all right? What’s the matter with Ellis?” Ginny asked. She hadn’t gotten off on a good start with Ellis and henceforth started using her last name . “Nothing Weasley. Now get out of my library and prepare dinner befor-“ He was cut off by Ginny. “I’m done. I made your favorite. Penne with salmon sauce and I got the jasmines.” Ginny was still pondering what he had said about that family background. What had he meant by family background? Had something happened when she had left? Ginny had no time to continue pondering these things as she heard a boom in the kitchen and ran to figure out what was happening. There in the kitchen stood Lucius Malfoy holding what looked like what her dad called airplane tickets. “Weasley where’s Draco?” he asked. “Right here father. What are the tickets for?” “You and Weasley here are going to take a vacation to Paris for a month. Then you’re going to Los Angeles for the other month. You’ll come back by Aug. 28 and then go back to Hogwarts. Now Weasley go pack. Draco stay here I need to tell you something very interesting the Dark Lord has informed me.” His father sounded grave as he stated the last few words. Ginny wondered what he was going to say but was left pondering as Ellis dragged her upstairs. All she heard was… “…she isn’t who she thinks she is. She is much more…” **hey** **guys! Thanks for reviewing! I hope** **ur** **enjoying it! Thank yous:** 1. **Kristin- omg thanks so much for** **ur** **reveiew!

More Answers and Yet More Questions -------------------------------------- Ginny’s jaw dropped as she heard these words. Was the she they referred to, her? How could she be so important? She was just after all a Weasley. Ellis had heard this part of the conversation, too. She turned around to find Ginny gaping and realized that Ginny must’ve heard too. They continued listening neither bothering to think of politeness. This conversation was too interesting. “What do you mean father? How could a Weasley be so important?” “She isn’t just a Weasley. What she is I cannot speak of at this moment. You will figure out soon enough. Be patient and answers will come smoothly. Now I must depart. Take care and take my advice to heart.” With that Ginny and Ellis heard a pop and figured that Lucius had left. They took this moment to run upstairs to their rooms to reflect on what they had just heard. Ginny’s room Ginny sat on her bed rocking back and forth, looking out the window. She wasn’t a Weasley? She’s more? What could be so important that the Malfoys would consider it of importance? She hadn’t had time ponder much as she heard the door open and turned around to find Draco in the doorway. “Don’t your parents teach you manners Malfoy? You’re supposed to knock no matter how important you think you are,” Ginny stated dazedly as she continued to stare out the window. “Shut up Weasley. Hurry up or we’re going to be late.” Malfoy stated with his usual icy tone. “I’m done Malfoy and anyway how on earth are we going to travel by airplane when neither of us know how to even get there.” “Unlike you Weasley, I’m not stupid. I am quite aware of how to use an airplane. Just because my family hates muggles doesn’t mean we don’t use their method of transportation. Now follow me.” Ginny looked at him quizzically. That didn’t make sense. How can someone hates muggles but use their transportation. O well. At least she got to go to Pear or whatever that place was called for free. She picked up her 3 suitcases and handbag so find Draco’s eyes staring at them. “What’s the matter Malfoy? A girl’s got to live and there’s no way I’m going to Pear, or whatever it’s called, without proper clothing.” Ginny stammered. “I never knew woman were so obsessed with how they look. But I understand you’ll need something to cover that hideous body of yours. Unlike you my body is gorgeous and does not need to be covered as much as yours. And I would hardly call your clothes proper. And since I will not be made a fool of in PARIS you are going to buy knew clothes when we get there.” Ginny was about to shout a couple of insults before reflecting over the fact that she had control over him. He was to keep an eye out for her and not let any harm come to her. So she had an advantage. She decided to use it wisely, or not. She followed Draco down the stairs as he lifted her luggage into the fireplace. Ellis came running out. “Hey Drakkie where you going?” she asked as she came up next to him and placed and arm around his shoulders. Draco pushed it off replying, ” It’s none of your business. And my name is Draco not Drakkie. Anyway what is your business is cleaning. While Weasley here tortures me, or I torture her in Paris, you have to clean everything up. And I want everything well polished for when I come back. Got that?” “Yes. Draco,” Ellis replied. She moved forward to give him a good-bye hug as he pushed her away. She looked dejected but got out of the room scurrying to probably cry about this unfair situation. “Hurry up Weasley,” he muttered. And in a matter of minutes they had appeared at the airport. What lies inside will have to wait: Will it be a normal airport…or will it be something else unknown.. &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&* **Yeah! Now tell me what you think! REVIEW!

Confusing Thoughts and a Bit of Paris! ----------------------------------------- Draco opened the double doors to reveal a sort of secret agency. Inside was not the usual airport Ginny’s father had described to her. It was completely different. For one, she was sure the airport didn’t have the a weird skull shaped thing with a snake coming out of it on all walls. And for another thing, everyone that wasn’t a passenger was wearing a long cloak with a hood that was a forest green shade. And not to mention the fact that everything had a sort of evil feeling to it. “Hello, Draco, my boy! And who’s this fine lad-,” he stopped in mid-sentence as he glanced at Ginny. “Draco, why is a Weasley here?! You know the rules! Have you lost your mind! You-,” he was cut off by Draco. “I am quite aware of the rules, thank you. She is here on business with me. Now if you would please allow me to pass,” Draco muttered lazily as he handed the man the tickets and a purple and green note. “Ah, I see. Yes, yes indeed. Very sorry Draco. You may enter.” The man moved aside and allowed entrance. Ginny followed close behind Draco. Questions were bouncing up and down in her head. She had to ask or comment. “Dra-Malfoy. Why are we here? This isn’t an airport. This place looks as evil as your father.” Ginny commented as Draco gave another man some documents. “For your information, Weasley, I was not planning to deal with any muggles today. We will be taking an airplane but a wizard airplane. And this place is evil. Haven’t you noticed the Dark Marks on the walls. The symbol of the Dark Lord.” Draco wasn’t worried about saying to much. His father had told him he was allowed to answer most of her questions and had told him which ones. At that moment Ginny made a run to the door only to be caught by Draco tugging on her arm and pulling her back. “They aren’t going to murder you,” he said releasing her arm,” unless under command to do so. And anyway we have to go to Paris, or have you forgotten already.” Ginny was not relived by this news. On any command she could lay dead on the floor. That was not the type of assurance she had wanted. But she followed Draco as he entered huge white doors to reveal a beautiful site. Ginny had, of course, never been on an airplane. Only heard news from her father. But this was not how she expected it to be. It was huge, but only had two seats. They were big and comfortable. And next to them were two big beds and two desks. Behind were two bathrooms and the kitchens. In front was a huge area Ginny guessed was were the pilot sat. She was so transfixed Draco had to tug on her arm to get her to budge . “I’m quite aware that people of your status have never seen anything beautiful but we must be going.” He stated icily. Ginny took her seat and lay back and to her surprise the chair adjusted itself to her position. She could get used to this. Five minutes later Draco told her they were about to take off and she had to watch him put on his seat belt to know how to do it. Once she buckled in the plane took off on the runway. It was an exhilarating experience. As they raced on the runway Ginny grabbed the armrests as if afraid to fly out of her seat. Draco cackled at her reactions when she plane took off. She gazed out the window and gasped. Since it was a wizard’s plane, it went higher faster with the use of magic. They already were in the clouds. It was breathtaking. Everything was white and blue. It was so pretty that all Ginny could do was stare as Draco went to the kitchens to order lunch. A couple minutes later, Ginny did the same. As she entered the kitchen, she gasped for the second time. It was huge. All polished wood with a mini table in the middle and a little seat perfect for her. And she also had a personal chef. She sat down and ordered her favorite, spaghetti with meatballs and a bit of parmesan cheese with fresh orange juice. When she finished she headed back to her seat. She gazed out the window for the resr of the flight, not wanting to conversate with Draco. A couple hours later, they landed. Ginny walked out to the most beautiful site. They landed right near the Eiffel Tower. And it was beautiful. Ginny stood staring at it transfixed. Draco tugged on her sleeve to get her to budge. “We should get you a leash. That way when I want you to move all I have to do is tug on it.” Draco sneered. “Shut up Malfoy,” Ginny replied. She was to amazed to try to get him mad. A couple minutes later they were right in front of a hotel. It was huge with about 8 floors and it was all silver and green. They walked in. It was beautiful. Ginny was already in love with Paris. Draco signed in and got the card. Ginny followed him as she gazed at everything in her sight. Ginny was amazed at the fact that Draco knew how to use so many things muggles made. And she was especially shocked when he called the elevator. She had only descriptions of all o these things. But to see them in person was something else. They arrived in the room 5 minutes later. It was beautiful. There was one bathroom, one kitchen, a closet, and a T.V. But to her shock, there was only one bed. “There’s only one bed! I’m not going anywhere near you!” Ginny screamed. “Hold your temper Weasley. Ill order another one,” Draco reasoned. He reached for the phone, but paused. He had no clue how to work this. He gazed at Ginny questioningly, hoping she would know. She did. She went up dialed 0 and asked the operator for a bed. Two seconds later a bed popped into the room. “Cool,” Ginny said. Both her and Draco were full from the flight and tired. So Ginny put on her p.j.’s and Draco put his on two. As Draco got out of the bathroom, Ginny gasped and turned around. “What’s the matter, Weasley? Never seen a handsome boy before. Oh, I forgot, you have to see your brothers all day.” Draco replied to her reaction. Draco had always slept shirtless with emerald shorts. Ginny couldn’t help to turn around and gaze at him for a minute. *He is handsome. He is so well-built and his peachy complexion makes him even cuter. Wait, eww, did I just consider him cute! OMG! EWW!* She turned back around and went instantly to sleep. Draco gazed at her for a couple of minutes. *She looks adorable when she sleeps. I wish I could be there, wrap her in my arms, and protect her. Or at least..Wait! Eww…I just called a Weasley cute. I’m out of my mind. What would father say!* He put his head on the pillow and fell asleep instantly. Paris was going to be an interesting expreince. What surprises hold for them here in the capital city of love?

About 10 minutes later Ginny awoke but lay in bed waiting for him to come out. When he came out he was wearing a long black robe with a green top and black pants. *What's with the dark colors?* She thought to herself silently. She got up lazily and went to dress. Draco waited for what seemed like hours before she finally came out. She was wearing a green shirt that said FLAWLESS with a kitty paw print next to it and khaki Capri's. The Capri's looked as if they belonged to her brothers and Draco didn't doubt that. But the shirt looked new to his shock. Ginny followed Draco as he walked down the hallway, to the escalator, and to the fanciest restaurant Ginny had ever seen. It had a real mini waterfall and waiters and waitresses. Draco ordered the table and Ginny just followed. She liked this. They didn't have to make any unnecessary conversations. But she was wrong. “We're going to go buy you some new clothes first. I do not want to be seen with a homeless looking girl. Then, unfortunately, you will have to come with me while I do some business around here.” Draco stated in his usual monotonous voice. “Why do I have to go with you everywhere? Why can't I look around while you do your dirty business?” Ginny argued. “Because Weasley my father and I do not want your family calling us to figure out that you got ran over by an automobile. You are to stay in my sight at all times. Got that?” “Does your father really care for me that much? I mean do you care if I got run over? It would just mean celebration. And I'm sure your father wouldn't mind paying. I mean you do have the world's money in your pockets.” Ginny stated angrily. She did not like the fact that he had so much power over her. “Weasley it is none of your business what my father thinks fit. You were hired by him and if you don't listen could end up fired too. So I wouldn't push my luck if I were you, which I never will be.” Ginny saw that this argument was pointless. He was never going to reveal what his father had said. But it would be interesting to see what type of business he had here. The food was brought and once they had finished up, Ginny followed Draco outside. She had no idea how they were going to travel from one place to another unless Draco got a Taxi, which he did. They rode for what seemed like hours until they finally stopped at a huge mall. Ginny followed Draco inside to find that it wasn't an ordinary mall but a wizard's shop, just like Diagon Alley. Draco had a quick pace so Ginny had no time to pause and look around. She followed Draco into a store that read Apparel for the Rich. “Good morning, Master Draco! How may I assist you today?” asked an eager saleswoman. *Master? Why master? Is he that important? Lord.* Ginny thought silently. “I'm looking for clothes for Weasley here. Robes preferably. Best quality, silk, velvet, or cashmere, preferably,” Draco stated. Ginny was going to like this. *Silk! Cashmere! Wait till my brothers see!* Ginny followed the salesclerk into a section full of skirts, shorts, pants, tops, robes, everything. Ginny gazed around before Draco handed her a pile of clothes. “Go try these on. Hurry up!” he said. “Why can't I choose my own clothes?” Ginny asked impatiently. “Because it would take you all year. Now hurry up!” Ginny took the clothes and went into the nearest dressing room. She was about to put on the pair of pants he had given her before a robotic voice said,” Hello dear. Let me help.” Two seconds later Ginny was dressed in the pants and her clothes were all neatly hung. Magic sure helps Ginny walked out and Draco approved of the pants. *This sure is odd. It's like I'm a model or something. O well! As long as they all become mine, I could do this everyday!* When she got back inside a second later the pants were hanging under a sign that said BUY and she had on the other pair. After about 2 hours they got out of the shop. Ginny squealed with delight as she looked at all the clothes she bought, or more along the lines of: Draco had bought: 4 pairs of pants: khaki, pale blue, summer orange, and black, 6 tops: blue, purple, yellow, green, red, and black. Each had a phrase on it. Then she had bought 3 mini skirts: denim, khaki, and green. Lastly, 4 new robes: red, green, black, and a new fashion: denim. “Oh, their so pretty! Thanks so so so much!” Ginny squealed. She was so caught up she bent over to hug Draco before realizing what she was doing. She quickly went back to her original position and continued following Draco. They went in a shoe store, bought her tennis shoes, a pair of sandals, and Mary Janes, and walked out of the mall. “Now where are we going?” Ginny asked inquisitively. Draco's father had plans but had not told Draco how to answer her. He thought for a couple of moments but didn't have time to answer. His father had just apparated right in front of them. “Draco there is a change of plans. You are to- He was cut off by a landing figure. “Stupefy!” shouted the anonymous figure. Lucius landed on the floor, stunned. The figure came up to Ginny and Draco and unveiled himself. Underneath was Severus Snape's face. “Professor! What are you doing here? What did u do that for? Why-“ Ginny was cut off when the Snape took out a boot. “Touch this! All will we explained momentarily.” Snape replied coldly. Without further objections, both Draco and Ginny touched the portkey and landed in a huge room. Ginny was first to recover form the fall and got up to look around. It looked like some sort of dungeon. But it was fairly convenient. There were two sofas opposing each other and three large windows on three of the 6 walls. There was a desk next to the farthest wall, along with a wooden rocker. And on one wall was a large bookcase that was about 14 feet in height. Ginny had no more time to look around when Snape landed two feet away. Draco opened his mouth to ask a question but was cut off. “Be patient. All will be explained soon. I am just waiting for- Ah Albus, you made it!” Snape greeted Dumbledore, both took a seat on one sofa as Draco, and Ginny dazedly took a seat on the other. “You are in for quite a revelation today.” Albus stated. **&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&** **Its gonna get juicy now!!!

More stupid revelations!” Draco commented, exasperated. “I’m sure this one will turn out much more interesting, Mr. Malfoy,” Dumbledore replied gently. “Now Severus, would you like to tell this or should I take over?” “I’d prefer it if I told this Albus.” Snape replied in an unusually calm and gentle voice. Draco gaped at his head of house’s new personality. Gentleness was the last thing he though Snape would attempt. “Now I’m only going to say this once, so listen up. This has to do with Ginny, so Draco, if you’re not interested, you may leave.” But Draco was not about to leave his professor in this state. *Had he just called Weasley, Ginny? He needs sleep.* Draco thought silently. When Snape saw Draco make no move for the door, he continued in a gentle voice that scared Draco. *Who take your body over? What happened! I want my teacher back.* Draco thought, stupefied. “Okay. First of all, Ginny, you aren’t a Weasley. You-“ he was cut off my Ginny’s dumbfounded voice. “What do you mean I’m not a Weasley? And why do you keep calling me Ginny? And what’s up with the gentle voice? What’s going on and happened to my slimy git of a professor?” “Now, if you are patient, I will continue and your questions will have answers. Now where was I? O yes. Your aren’t a Weasley. You see, every time your real family had a child, they sent it over to the Weasley’s. Haven’t you ever wondered why none of your parents have red hair and all 7 of you do? Your real parents had a good reason for not raising you themselves. That will be explained momentarily. Now, as for who your real parents are, well that will come as a nasty shock for you two and especially Ron. Your full name is not Virginia, like many have told you, but Ginny Anne Katherine………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..(hehe im evil!)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OKAY. Now for the time where I ask you all to review. Aimn’t I evil leaving you there. If I get 30 reviews, ill continue. If not, will say goodbye to figuring out Ginny’s real parents. Anyway, hope you liked this short chappie. Don’t forget to---oo I didn’t get you did I (sorri im hyper today) well here’s the rest: Snape.” He said the last word and watched as it took full effect on Ginny and Draco’s face. It was quite interesting. Draco and Ginny’s faces’ paled even more then their usual ghostly complexion (if that was even possible). Both their mouths stood hanging wide open as if they were trying to fit a globe in their mouths, or catch a mouthful of flies. Draco was first to recover. “Snape professor? You’re her FATHER? Are you sure there isn’t any mistake? And why are you telling us this now?” “Yes, I’m her father. Yes, I’m sure there isn’t any mistake. And I’m telling you this now because all of you and your brothers are in what I like to call the game of doom, or in other words, grave danger. The Dark Lord has figured out your real identities and I didn’t want you trapped in his lair not knowing you on earth he’s got you there. Hopefully, we won’t have to deal with this. Anyway, Albus would you mind telling the rest of them? I need to speak to Draco and Ginny alone.” With that Dumbledore nodded and left the room. Snape got up and started pacing around when Ginny finally spoke. “You’re my dad. The Weasleys aren’t my real parents. Oh my gosh, I’ve having a horrible nightmare. It’s all going to end soon. Somebody wake me up soon. Anytime now please.” At that moment Draco pinched her. “Ow! What was that for?” “To wake you up.” “Ugh, so this isn’t a dream! O lord…” “Now if you don’t mind paying attention to me for a while I’ll explain a couple of other things. Draco remember when your dad told you that Ginny isn’t who she really thought she was? Well that was true of course as you just figured out. Oh, and by the way, I’ll explain about your mom in a moment.” Snape muttered as Ginny gazed at him inquisitively.” Now since Ginny is in danger with the rest of them, I need your help. You need to figure out exactly how much Tom knows frrm your dad or when you have your initiation, if you already haven’t had it.” Draco and Ginny gazed at him at the mention of Tom Riddle’s real name. No one used it. Even Dumbledore used Voldemort unless Voldemort was standing right in front of him. Snape noticed this, but carried on in the same new voice he had acquired. “Now Ginny please close your mouth or the flies will come in and plus, it’s very un-lady-like.” Ginny closed her mouth slowly. It was going to take getting used to. If someone just told me my history teacher was my dad I’d puke. Imagine knowing someone for years through your siblings, knowing him personally for a year, an he/she was your teacher. Not only a teacher but a slimy, evil, mean teacher who picked on your whole family. Now imagine them telling you I’m your real parent. I’d faint. Luckily, Ginny’s stronger then that. Anywho, back to my story. “ Now as for your mother, she’s well, deceased. She died a month after you were born. No one knows how. She disappeared one day and they found here body in Madagascar, Africa. She looked just like you except she had hazel bluish eyes that were filled with innocence. Now, you may want to know why Tom would want you out of all the other purebloods he could have. Well there’s one reason and it has to do with your mother. Her name was Heather Antoinette Riddle.” Ginny fainted and Draco felt faint himself, but managed to stay sitting. “There’s more.” Snape said as he went to pick up Ginny from the floor. Okay I hope you all like this twisty idea! Ginny Snape! I’ve always longed to be a Snape! And now Ginny has stolen my spot! Meanie!

Revelations II ----------------- 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. **888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888** **Thank yous:** **Liberty Malfoy- Thanks for the review! Did u like the twist?** **LynnTurner- Yay!

Answers ---------- “But hold on,” Ginny said,” how does mom have red hair? You-know-who has black.” “Because her mom had red hair, too. Her name, though, I never knew. And my mom had red hair, too. I guess it just skipped a generation. Anyway, I won't keep you here all day. You can go play after I show you your rooms. Follow me.” He stated. Ginny and Draco followed him outside the room to find her brothers outside. “You alright?” Ron asked. “Yea, fine.” Ginny replied. Her brothers didn't go up with her because her father had told them to wait there and he'll be back. Ginny noticed that her new house was just as big as Draco's was. Actually, it was exactly the same. “I'm sure you've noticed that Draco's and your new house are exactly the same except for my choice of colors. All death eaters may have the exactly the same house unless they wish to end up with the dead. Colors may vary but sizes don't. Unless you have a higher status than others u get a bigger house. So if you are closer to Tom then you get a bigger house. Oh, and by the way, I'm not old if you're thinking that because Salazar and Rowena are my grandparents. My parents married quite young. At age 11 or 12 I think. But they didn't decide to have kids until they were on the verge of death. Unlike muggles, we can have children anytime. So my brother was born. He's dead though. Then I was born. And that was all the kids they had. Since they were old they didn't quite have a lot of patience so they raised us very harshly. I married young, too. I told you that I knew Heather when I was older. But truth is I knew her since I was quite young. Around 4 or 5 to be exact. You see, did you ever wonder why Tom killed his parents? Because he was ashamed of whom they were. Their names were Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff. That's why all of you are Gryffindors. And not to mention the fact that we told the hat not to put you in Slytherin because it was cause to much attention. Oh, and I married your mom when I was 9.”he finished off. “What! Nine! You were so young!” Ginny exclaimed. “Yes, I was quite aware of that. Anyway, I thin that's all I have to say. Oh, and this will be your room Draco and the one on the opposite is Ginny's. The rest of your brothers are on the second floor.” And with that he walked down the stairs. **Okay. Im going to end this chapter here cuz I think I gave you enough information.** **I hope u understood it all! If u didn't, tell me! Id be glad to clear it up! Main point is Tom's parents were Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff, hence the fact that Ginny's in Gryffindor.** **Btw, I made a typo on my last chappie. Her mom's name is Heather not Harmony, k. Anyway here r the thx:** **Hpfanmelissa: Oh, im so sorri that ur confused! Here let me clear it up! Snape's mum is Salazar Slytherin and Margaret Ravenclaw's daughter. Ginny's parents are Snape and Voldie's daughter. Is that clear? If u still don't get it, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks for the review! Hope u keep reading! Itll get less confusing later on!** **Enter Name: Awww, did Ginny being Snape's daughter ruin the stori for u? I hope not. Plz continue to read! Give Snape a chance! Please! Thanks for the review!** **Elf-Princess4- Ur smiley faces encourage me so much! Lol! Thanks for the review!** **Lady Malfoy- I'm so glad ur enjoying it!

If the chappies r getting confusing, don't worry. U won't need to memorize all this stuff! Enjoy the stori!** 10. The Library Book -------------------- A week passed since Draco and Ginny and all her brother had moved into this new house. Draco was still cold to all of them except Snape. Nothing had changed between relationships with each other. Ginny walked into the library to find Draco inside. He was sitting on an armchair in the corner reading a big, thick, black book. Ginny decided to see if being nice would kill her. She walked over and asked,”Whatcha reading?” “What’s it to you?” he asked frigidly. “Just trying to be nice. Something you will never be able to do.” “You want to bet?” “Sure. I bet you can’t be nice to me for a week.” “Your on.” “I will not allow you to bet at your age,” said a voice from behind. “But, Snape, I mean dad, please. It was a harmless bet.” “No. Anyway, Draco what are you reading.” He walked over and picked up the book Draco held in his arms. “The Dark Arts? Hmm…interesting you should pick this out of all the books here. Ginny are you going to get something. Muggle section’s the last one.” Ginny looked at him mysteriously. How had he known she wanted a muggle book. She walked over and looked under the fairytale section and found it. Cinderella. Perfect. Her dad had left and she seated herself next to Draco and started to read. When she finished she left the library leaving the book on her armchair. Draco picked it up and read it. He didn’t see Ginny watching him from outside. The next day Draco had decided to play Quidditch. Ginny walked outside heading towards the gardens when she say Draco dive for a snitch. *He plays real well. He just doesn’t put all his effort in the game when he plays Harry. Wonder why?* Then she remembered Harry. He might be owling her and she wouldn’t know. She rushed inside and told her dad. “I do not want him to know anything yet. You may get your letters but you aren’t to tell him your new location.” “Fine.” And with that she ran into the library. She picked up the book Draco had been reading and dropped it as she read chapter one. *This books pure evil. I can’t believe he reads this stuff. The most painful ways to kill someone? 101 ways of torture?* And then she saw the most interesting chapter that had a tiny star next to it. *How to avoid someone you feel doesn’t need to know anything about you or know your true feelings for them. Could it be true?* She picked up the book and took it to her room. **Okay dokey. Here’s chappie 10. hope u like it! I know its short but that’s because its building up to something. Next chappie is 4 pages! I just caught a cold so I wasn’t able to do much. Sorry! Please hang in there! Anyway u know wat to do. So start to review!** **THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! AS I SAID I’M SICK SO I WASN’T ABLE TO WRITE PERSONAL THANK YOUS! BUT THANKS!** 11. An Unexpected Drop In ------------------------- 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. **Okay dokey. Im gonna end it here. chappie. I made it long to make up for the other ones. Ill try to start making them really long but itll take a while. My teachers have loaded me with projects** **REVIEW REVIEW** **REVIEW** **Tell me wat u thin of the convo they had and ginny’s idea and Draco giving in to the idea.

I’m trying to finish my homework but I decided to post this soon so you woulnd’t have to wait for an update for a long time.** **THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWERS!** **Well review review review!** **J** 12. Conversations and an Initiation ----------------------------------- As Draco yanked Ginny up to his room he heard nothing more of the conversation the adults were having, though he was quite interested. Draco pushed Ginny into his room and locked the door. He turned around and looked at Ginny sternly. “Are you mad or something! Just because you’re a Snape does not give you a right to stand up there and criticize the most powerful wizard known! Your lucky my father didn’t do more to you then just a stupid Cruciatus Curse. I can’t believe my mother has enough sympathy to feel sorry for you!” He paused. Ginny hadn’t spoken all this time. She just trembled as tears welled up in her eyes. “I’m sorry,” she said between sobs. She choked back a tear as she tried to console herself. And Draco was surprised when she gained her pride back intstantly. “I’m sorry that your father hasn’t taught you a single thing in all of your life! He is not the strongest wizard alive! Dumbledore is! And I have every right to criticize him but your father has no right put me under that horrid curse! I bet it’s illegal! What sort of a father is he anyway! Now I know why your so cruel hearted. You’ll probably end up just like your father. That’s what you want, isn’t it? Evil ruling the world as the weak and good perish. Your mad!” She stopped there to see Draco’s reaction. His face had no actual change but Draco’s inside was hurting him. He didn’t want to be bad. But if he didn’t turn out like his father wanted him to he’d probably turn up dead instead. “You have no right to tell me what I think of my life! And neither do you have a right to criticize my father! Now get out of my room!” Ginny looked up and it was as if she could actually feel what Draco’s was feeling. Shame and guilt for acting so much like a guy he didn’t want to be. Sadness because he had no say in his life. And loneliness because he had no true friends. She dropped her gaze and was about to get up when Draco clutched his arm in pain and ran out the door. Ginny followed him down the stairs and back to where her dad was talking with Draco’s parents. And right next to Draco’s father was a face she hoped to not see very soon. There stood Voldemort himself. “Ah, I see the guest of honor has arrived.” “How’d you get your body back?” Ginny asked. The last time she had seen him was as Tom Marvolo Riddle and he was quite young. Now he still had he’s young body but she was wondering how he was able to still use it. “None of your concern. Now, Severus, I’ll call up everyone else and we’ll meet at the usual spot and Draco of course will be there, I presume.” “Yes, my lord,” Draco replied. Ginny giggled. “I’m not even going to ask.” “My lord!” she said between fits of laughter,” He’s like as old as you and you call him my lord! That’s so stupid. If you call him my lord then what should you call Dumbledore?” At the mention of Dumbledore’s name, Tom’s eyes glittered evilly. “Stupid, is it. We’ll see about your attitude later. I -“ “ Why do I feel as if I’ some kind of doll that you can change around and pass it here and there. I’m a human and I resent to being treated less like one. Now as for my initiation, to put it simple, I’m not going. I don’t want to join a bunch of people who follow a guy who says he’s king of the world and wants world domination. And your little group can’t even stand up for themselves. All they do is hide behind your cloak and do your dirty work while you sit back and enjoy it all. You disgust me!” And with that she ran outside so fast that she looked like a hummingbird racing for nectar. “Draco, go talk to the girl. She’s going to join no matter what.” Tom stated calmly. “But my lord I won’t be able to connive her more than a talking bee can. I have no influence on her.” “It does not matter. Try and you shall succeed.” Draco walked outside without any more questions an headed towards Ginny. He didn’t hear Tom mutter,” They will become much more.” “I don’t get you,” Draco said in an unusual voice. It wasn’t icy, but calm and gentle. Ginny had never seen this side of him. But she figured he was just doing this because of orders. “ I don’t understand you. It’s not like he’s going to ask you to go around murdering people. Just join the stupid thing!” he clamped his hand over his mouth as he heard what he had just said. Ginny gaped. “Stupid? Then why are you in it?” “Do you think I have a choice? I have to do what my father asks of me or he’ll end up killing me. Your lucky your father has mercy on you.” “How come they don’t push my brothers? Why me?” “The only thing I heard is because they think your stronger then all of them put together.” “Yea, and I’m going to believe that. I mean dad doesn’t let me do lots of things. Yea, I can wander around and do what I want, but I can’t read what I want. It’s like he thinks if I read evil, I’ll become evil.” “I have no idea where he got that from.” “You. He sees how much dark material you read and look how you turned out. You-know-who jr. otherwise known as Lucius jr.” “Shut up! I don’t get why everyone says that! I’m not my father! I don’t want to be!” Ginny looked at him and he looked away. All of a sudden she felt pity for him. He was forced to follow his father’s footsteps or end up part of history. “I don’t want pity. All I’m trying to tell you is that you can’t get out of the initiation. Either you let me take you or you’ll be forced to go. I’m just trying to make it easier.” Ginny sat there for a while and considered her choices. Finally, she made up her mind. “Fine, I’ll go.” “Ok. Now I’m going to go back there and tell them you’re going.” He stood up and left, leaving Ginny to reflect on her decision. After about 15 min of reflection she went back inside to find it empty except for Draco. “So how’d it go?” Ginny asked. “Good and bad. Good, they were happy to hear your answer. Bad, your initiation is today at 11 pm and I’m escorting you.” “Today,” she said with utter disbelief. “Yea. And guess what time it is? !0:58 pm. Come on.” Ginny stood there rooted to the spot. Ginny tugged on her sleeve and she followed him to the fireplace. “Is it going to hurt?” “You’ll see.” A moment later, they disappeared. Ginny landed right in the middle of a group of death eaters, while Draco landed farther away. “Ah ,excellent. You’re here,” Tom said. “Yea. Now can we get this over with. I don’t have all day you know.” “Stand up. Draco will do the honors.” “I will,” Draco replied unsteadily. “Yes. Now come here.” Draco walked over and Tom handed him a dagger. “I don’t know how to draw it,” Draco said. “No need to know. Just take the dagger and it’ll do everything else.” Draco raised the dagger nervously. He lowered his hand and pierced Ginny’s. He heard her muffle a cry of pain. Instantly the Dark Mark formed on her forearm. Ginny looked at it and then said, “So is that it?” “No, there is much more. Now to test your strength. Crucio!” The same pain that had taken over Ginny a couple of hours ago took her over now. She felt like a mountain splitting in half. Her intestines felt intertwined with all her other body. She dropped on the floor again, but this time she clutched the mark. That was where most of the pain was. Tears rolled down her cheeks like raindrops on a flooded day. After about 10 minutes, he removed the curse. Draco dragged her up and transported her back home. He looked at her worriedly. “Are you alright?” All she could do was nod her head silently as she struggled to limp back to her room. Her arm was still bleeding heavily from the dagger and drops of blood stained the cream colored carpet. So much dropped that it looked like a volcanoe exploded and that was lava everywhere. He decided to see her to her room to make sure everything was all right. She entered her room and went to get dressed in her pajamas. After many long minutes of struggling, she finally got it on. She came out of the bathroom when she finished washing and plopped down on the bed. Draco stared at her. “So, are you going to stay here all night?” she asked. “No, just making sure you don’t bleed to death.” “How long ago did you get the mark?” “Last Halloween.” “Are all the Slytherins death eaters?” “ Yea.” And with that he trudged out of the room. He stayed outside for a while and peeked at what she would do next. He saw her take out a medium-sized blue notebook. She also took out a fluffy blue and purple pen and opened the book. She flipped through the pages until she found her last entry. She wrote something and then put it back in it’s hiding place in her drawer next to her. She out her head down and instantly fell asleep. Draco crept inside and took out the book. He flipped to the first page and read : *Dear Diary,* *Today Fred and George made up expandable pockets so that they could carry lots of stuff without mom knowing. Then Ron and Percy got in a fight. I spoke to Bill about my weird dreams but he said they were nothing. I wonder why Draco appears in al of them. I’m confused so I’m going to go to sleep early. Bye* He flipped through the rest of the book reading a couple here and there. From these entries he figured out a lot about Ginny. She feels alone at home and she confides everything to Bill. She has weird dreams that include him and Tom and different plots each time. Most came true. She feels alone at school, too. Her only true friends are Colin Creevey and Annie Litsup. Then he read the latest entry. *Dear Diary* *Today was initiation today. You’ll never understand the p..there was a drop of blood there and in some places on the page, not to mention tears…Draco was there. He did it. I don’t blame him . It seems we have more in common then I thought. I want to get to know the real him but it’s going to take forever. I wish life was perfect. It’s too hard and confusing. Nappy time. Bye* Draco shut the book and put it back. He walked out of the room and into his own. He slid on his pajamas and planned what to do next. If she wanted to see the real Draco, then why not. Now the only problem was, how to show her. **Hey! K here r the thx:** **1. Sexytexy- Thanks for the long review! I loved reading it! And thanks for ur opinions!

A birthday, training, and two murders ----------------------------------------- **A/N- About Ginny’s attitude.** **This is the summer after her first year with the Chamber of Secrets. I’m not going to follow j.K. Rowling’s attitude that she gave Ginny because I think the Chamber would have a bigger effect on Ginny. I think that she should be a bit less forward yet a bit cheeky. I hope you don’t hate me for this! Please continue reading and hope you enjoy the long chappie!** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ginny woke up the next morning to the sound of rapping on her door. “Who is it?” she asked tiredly. “Me,” answered a manly voice form outside. From the sound of the me Ginny guessed it was her dad. “Come in,” she said. Her dad strode in and sat down next to her on the bed. He picked up her arm and looked at the mark that haunted him. To see it on his arm was something. But to see it on his only daughter’s hand felt as if he had betrayed himself by allowing her to get it. “It took the house-elves 3 hours to get the blood stains off the floor. And why is it still bleeding heavily? How did they do it?” he asked somewhat angrily. “Well, you-know-who asked Draco to do it. He gave Draco a dagger and he pierced my arm with it. Then a second later the mark appeared. Lastly, he did the Crucio curse again and Draco dragged me back here.” “A dagger and a curse? That isn’t how it’s done. I need to go talk to Draco, I’ll be back later. Go eat breakfast. Then I have a surprise for you downstairs.” He got up off the bed and left the room gently closing the door behind him. Ginny got out of bed slowly to find it soaked with blood. She carefully washed up and put on her clothes. She picked out the orange tank top with velvet yellow pants and a velvet yellow jacket. The jacket covered her mark but it wouldn’t stop bleeding so before putting on the jacket she looked for a couple of band-aids. She found some and put them on. It stopped bleeding for a while. She put the jacket on and walked downstairs. As soon as she entered the kitchen she found all her brothers sitting down as they watched Ron and Bill play chess the muggle way. But when she stepped in all eyes were on her. “What?!” she asked. They didn’t respond until Draco walked in. “What’s everyone staring at?” he asked. “Where were you two last night?” asked Ron somewhat mad. “None of your business,” Draco said in an icy tone that he hadn’t used for along time. “It is our business! And why on Earth are you wearing a jacket! It’s 116 degrees! Are you mad?” Ron commented. “Again, it’s none of your business,” Ginny replied. But it was no use. They stared at her and then Ron walked up to her and pulled the jacket off suddenly, knocking Ginny of balance. When she got up the band-aids had somehow disappeared and there lay in bright daylight, for everyone to see, her Dark Mark all bloodied up. “What on-“ Ron said. But he couldn’t continue. It was too much. “ Dad,” he cried, “Dad! Come see what happened to Ginny!” “He already knows,” she said calmly. “And I suppose Malfoy went with you! And I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it too!” Ron yelled at the top of his lungs. “Are you mental! What on earth is your problem! What were you-“ Draco cut him off. “Would you stop making such a fuss about it! It’s not like she had a choice!” Ginny stared at him. Had he just defended her? At that moment her father walked in. “What’s all this shouting for?” he asked. Bill spoke up before Ron could. “Ginny’s got the Dark Mark.” He stated plainly. “Yes, I’m quite aware of that. Now if you all don’t mind, leave her alone. Ron, come to my study later on in the day. Charlie, a dragon hatched and you need to go. Fred and George, take Ron for now and go play outside. Draco and Ginny, stay here.” Everyone followed his instructions, even Ron. But you could tell he was looking forward to the talk. He would make sure he was heard. When everyone left, her father spoke. “ It’s almost Potter’s birthday and as much as I despise it, you will be attending his birthday at the Weasleys. You will act as if nothing happened. Draco will teach you how to cover up your mark and as for the blood, I put a potion I your room. Take it today and that should suffice. After that, you two will be allowed to go to Hogsmeade to go shopping for Potter’s present. Draco, to make sure there is no suspicion, you, of course, will not attend the party. But you will have to accompany Ginny to Hogsmeade. If anyone sees you use the excuse that Ginny is your maid and that she was forced to come with you by your mother. You are not to tell your father anything that happens here at this house or this summer. Leave that to me. And leave Ron to me, too. Try your hardest to not rub in anything. He already despises the fact that I’m allowing you two to go to Hogsmeade. I would’ve told Bill to go with you but he has business to finish. Now leave and don’t come back soon.” Ginny and Draco sat there for a while before Draco got up and Ginny followed him upstairs to his room. He took out his wand and tapped it twice on Ginny’s mark, made a circular motion with it, and muttered, “Screetus Disapras.” The mark disappeared and Ginny stared at her arm where it had been a second ago. “It’s still there but it should not show unless you spill any form of liquid on that spot.” Draco said. Then he followed her back to her room as she retrieved her wand and drank the potion her father had left for her. Instantly, all the pain was gone. She followed Draco downstairs to the fireplace. He took some floo powder and Ginny did the same. They went into the fireplace and a second later, they were gone. They landed right in the center of Hogsmeade. Ginny had never been there before but Draco had come many times with his father. “Follow me,” he stated simply. “I have a question.” She said. “What?” he didn’t feel like answering nay of her questions, but he didn’t have a choice. “Why are you so cold?” “What?” “You heard me, now answer me,” she stated stubbornly. “It’s none of your business.” “Would it kill you to smile once in a while or be nice?” “Yes, it would. Now silence, a teacher’s approaching.” And he was right. Right in front of them was Professor McGonagall. “Hello, you two! How’s summer been so far?” she asked sweetly. “Excellent professor,” Ginny replied. “Oh, that’s nice to hear. What are you two doing here?” she asked. “I need to pick up something for my father and Ginny, as my maid, is accompanying me on behalf of my mother’s orders.” Draco said. And with that he pulled Ginny and got lost in the crowd. “Why’d you do that?” Ginny asked. “Because, if we didn’t leave, she’d ask more questions. Like why you’re wearing a velvet jacket in the middle of summer.” Ginny instantly took it off and tied it around her waist. “Why are you so cold,” she asked again. “Drop it.” “Why?” “Because.” Ginny sighed and followed him around Hogsmeade. She looked around and gazed at the sites. Draco walked into a store and Ginny followed suite. It was a broom store. Ginny looked around and found out that they had a new broom on sale. The Electricbreeze 67. It was beautiful. It was built form Rosewood and it was as shiny as could be. The bristles was soft and it was the best broom you could ask for. A salesperson saw Ginny staring at it and came up behind her. “Yes, it’s an excellent broom. Perfect steering directions and listens to your thoughts. If you spot the snitch it locates it using the mental picture you have and heads directly to it. It’s perfect for seekers and all the positions. But a seeker’s treasure.” “How much?” Ginny asked. “267 galleons and 5 sickles.” Draco took out a bag of gold and counted out the money before placing it on the desk. “Where did you get that money from?” Ginny asked. “Your father gave it to me this morning.” He replied. 5 minutes later the broom was neatly wrapped and a card lay neatly on it that said: *Happy Birthday! Enjoy your Quidditch matches! Love, Ginny* “It wouldn’t hurt to get him a present.” “Are you mad?” “Your hopeless.” At that moment Draco’s dark mark burned and he clutched his forearm. “I’m coming,” Ginny stated. Draco held her hand and a minute later they landed in an empty cell. “I didn’t know you could Apparate.” “It’s part of the training. Now stay here and out of sight.” With that he left into the door to their right. Ginny couldn’t help peeking in. “Draco, a pleasure to see you respond so quickly. Death eater material, you are.” Voldemort’s voice droned out. “A pleasure to be allowed to do business for you,” Draco replied coldly. “I have a task for you to perform. It’s very important so listen up. I want you to drop in on the Changs for me. I want the daughter killed along with the dad. I want it done in front of the mom so that she may weep for eternity. Later, erase her memory of you but keep the killing. Got that?” he asked. “Yes, my lord.” And with that he walked out of the room. Ginny got back in her previous state so he wouldn’t know she was listening in. Was he really going to kill them? She wanted to see what would happen next. “I’ve got something to do. You can come but you must stay outside at all times. Don’t let anyone see you. After I’m done we’ll go back to your father’s house. Got it?” he said. “Yes,” she replied. Her voice was a bit shaky. Was he really going to go through it? A couple minutes later they landed in front of a neat 3 story peach house. The lawn was neatly done and there was a huge palm tree in the front obscuring a window on the 3rd floor. Draco walked in without knocking and Ginny peeked through the crack in the door. Draco sauntered in as if nothing was going to happen and two seconds later she heard two thumps. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Two innocent people had been murdered right before her eyes and by Draco. She was going to kill him. Then she heard “Obliviate” and the frantic crying of Mrs. Chang as Draco walked out. Ginny assumed her original position and tried to wipe of her tears. But she couldn’t. Draco stared and her and figured out she had seen it all. This was going to be harder then he thought. “H-how c-c-could you?” she asked between hysterical sobs. “I told you to stay outside. You didn’t listen. Now if you don’t mind we have to go back to your father’s house so clean yourself up or their going to think something bad happened.” “S-somet-thing bad d-d-did happen! H-how c-c-ould you d-do t-that? You k-killed innocent p-people!” “It’s part of being a death eater, okay.” And with that he grabbed her arm and they landed in her kitchen. Her father looked up form his work when they entered. “What happened?” he asked. “Dad! He killed innocent people! He killed them! It was horrible!” “Who?” he father asked. “The Changs.” Draco replied. “They weren’t due dead until the end of August.” He said. “How could you two talk about this as if they’re some kind of toys?! They’re humans! How could you be so cold?” And with that she ran up to her room. “She saw it?” her father asked. “Yea. I should’ve returned her first. But he likes the job done quickly.” “I’ll have a talk with her later.” Draco headed for the library. When he entered her heard crying in the fairytale section. He walked there and found Ginny sobbing hysterically. “Look. It’s not my fault. It’s not like I wanted to do it. I have no choice. It’s either follow the job or get killed yourself.” But that didn’t help much. Ginny stopped her sobbing for a while. “Life’s not fair. Why is the world so cruel. Why can’t I go back to being a Weasley and having a happy family full of sunshine. Why?” she asked. “The world’s not perfect. There’s evil and all we can do is try to fight it. But in our case we can’t fight. Don’t go trying to do anything stupid when your called or you’ll end up with a lot more then what you asked for. Anyway, at least you don’t have to life with the guilt.” “How many people have you killed before this?” “7. A family of four: mother, father, and baby twins both girls, 2 5 year old boys, and a 16 year old girl. All wizards and witches.” “How?” “I don’t know.” Ginny couldn’t believe she had had an actual conversation with Draco. His last words lingered in her mind. They sat there for a while without talking to each other. Then Draco spoke up,” Are you still up for those lessons?” “Yea,” she said. She got up and followed him up to his room. She didn’t notice a mysterious figure in the shadows. They entered his room and he took out a book. He opened it up and began to talk. They spent 3 hours there rehearsing spells and incantations before Ginny yawned and Draco said they should go to dinner. She nodded sleepily and walked downstairs. She sat at the table and no one spoke the whole time. Charlie and Bill had gone off to work and Percy was in the library. Fred and George didn’t say a single word which meant trouble since they were usually noisy. Ron ate quickly and ran up to met their father in his study. Ginny finished rapidly, too, and went up to her room. Draco left after her and Fred and George sat there in silence. This went on for weeks and soon Harry’s Birthday arrived. Ginny looked through her closet frantically and finally decided upon a black dress that reached just above her knees. It had spaghetti strings and a bow that wrapped around her waist. She found black suede shoes to go along and tied up her hair in a green bow to add some color. But when she looked in the mirror she found herself looking as if she was going to a funeral. So she quickly changed into a red party skirt that reached her knees and a white tank top that had a little red bow on the side and mini red dots at the bottom on the hem. She picked out a little white purse and headed downstairs. Her brothers had already left and she supposed Draco was probably in the library. Her father was not going so she disappeared and landed in her old room. She looked around and when she found tears welling up in her eyes she left the room. She walked downstairs to find her brothers running around as usual. Fred and George held a couple pills in their hands and were trying to test them out on Ron and Percy. Bill and Charlie sat in a corner watching the mayhem. She smiled at the familiar site that she hadn’t seen in a long time. She wished her life had never changed. Little did she know that what was happening right now was nothing compared to what’s going to happen later on. Then she heard two familiar voices she thought she would never hear again. “Fred! George! Stop pestering your brothers! Harry’s almost here,” her mom said. No, nut she wasn’t her mom anymore. She was merely Mrs. Weasley. Ginny sighed and sat down awaiting Harry’s arrival. 10 minutes later the doorbell rang and the toilet Mr. Weasley installed flushed at the same time. Ginny giggled remembering all of Mr. Weasley’s old inventions. She’d never see them again. “Why hello there Harry! It’s so nice to see you again,” Mrs. Weasley said. (I’m going to use Molly and Arthur for now on since it’s faster to type). She pulled Harry into a tight hug and Harry was glad when it ended. “Hey Harry!” Ginny said before Ron ran up to greet his best friend. Harry winked at Ginny to tell her that he had acknowledged her and she smiled back. They day went like any old day full of singing, eating, and frantic screaming when George gave Harry a pill that turned Harry into a mini-Scabbers. Luckily, Fred had the antidote and Harry turned back to normal. Then gifts came and Harry stood there in shock as he opened up Ginny’s present. Then realization hit Ginny. She was still poor! She couldn’ afford that. But she quickly got an idea. “We all pitched in to get you that. Hope you like it,” she said innocently. She hated this lying thing. She wished she could tell him. But she obeyed her father and stayed silent. Harry was going to spend a week at the Weasley’s before going back so Ginny had plenty of time to enjoy scenes she would never see again. The next morning Ron woke up blue, literally. His face was completely blue along with his body. Screams were heard all through the neighborhood. They spent the rest of the day searching through Fred and George’s room looking for an antidote. The next day they went to play Quidditch while Ginny stayed in her room and practiced the spells Draco had taught her. She also spent a lot of time reading muggle stories. Her favorite was The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. Days went by and she was careful to avoid Harry. But one day she slipped. It was the 6th day and Harry was going to leave tomorrow. She walked downstairs to eat breakfast when her forearm started to ache terribly. Draco’s arm must’ve hurt, too, because a couple seconds later he apparated into the kitchen. Harry sat there gazing at this odd morning. Draco grabbed Ginny and apparated off with her. All Ginny heard was the voice of Percy trying to calm Ron down. Little did she know that later on she would be dying to hear his voice again. They landed in the same spot that Draco had took her to when his arm had burned. The pain was unbearable and Ginny was whimpering from pain when they landed in front of Voldemort. “We must teach you how to Apparate soon. We don’t want everyone figuring out our little secret do we?” he stated. Ginny just stood there. “Your training must start before school. So it will begin now. Lucius will train you as he trained Draco. Draco, take her to the playground and you may watch if you want.” Draco nodded his head and yanked Ginny out through the door at the end to reveal a huge playground. It had swings, monkey bars, ropes, tires, and a merry-go-round. Ginny wondered what the training would be. “Listen up. My father’s tough and he won’t let you go until you do everything perfectly. It’s hard so you’ve got to work fast and monitor your breathing. Now go!” and with that Draco shoved her forward and Ginny walked up to where Lucius was standing. “You must run from here to that hill over there in less than 6 minutes and 48 seconds. You must go through the whole obstacle course, too. Now, ready, set, go!” And with that Ginny ran for her life. She was quite good at the monkey bars and the ropes and jumping over the swings was simple enough. But running through the tires was hard and she messed up a couple fo times. So she decided to slow down since she knew she wouldn’t make this. *Why are they using muggle items?* She thought to herself as she ran the last step. “7 minutes 35 seconds. Lousy. Again. Ready, set, go!” And she ran again. But this time she did the tires perfectly and her time came up as,” 6 minutes 15 seconds. Congratulations. You may now leave.” She was so tired she couldn’t move a muscle. She just stood there catching her breath when Draco came up behind her and Apparated her back to the Weasleys. Ginny arrived to many glares and stares from her family, Molly and Arthur, and Harry. “What on earth just happened?” Harry asked. Ginny sighed. Draco had disappeared so she would have to tell him everything all by herself. Her dad was going to kill her. She explained to Harry and her fake parents what happened and her brothers listened eagerly when she told about the playground. They wanted to know what was part of the training. When she finished she sat silently waiting for an outburst. But none came. Then she heard a thump upstairs and noticed someone was missing. She saw Ron run upstairs and heard him scream. The rest of the family went upstairs including Harry. Along the way they found a vial that contained some sort of pale green liquid and a note that was blank. But the scariest scene was the one in Ginny’s bedroom. There on the floor lay a body. And it lay on her bed. And next to the body lay the letters: DEATH EATER OR NO DEATH EATER, DEATHS WILL STILL OCCUR. SOMEONE IS NEXT, AND YOU WILL CRY FOR SURE. A MYSTERY LAY UNSOLVED BEFORE YOUR EYES, LOOK CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT HAS A BIG DISGUISE. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was who was laying on the bed. And not only that but half of her brothers thought it was her who had killed him. Ginny was the first to speak. “Poor _____! WHO DIED?? **Who died? You’ll have to wait for the next chapter to figure out. Hehehe! Anyway here r the thx:** **1. Janet- Omg thanks soo much for the review! U rock!** **2. PercyWeasley12- I’m a first time writer and I know this story is completely well written. I thank you very much for your critiques.** 1.Hogwarts was founded all the way back HUNDREDS of years ago. **Yes. I was aware of this. But I wanted to change it a bit and play around with the years in my story.** 2.if the Snape works in Europe at Hogwarts, then why have a house in California? **I don’t know. Snape just spoke to me and said gimme a house in California. So I should why not?** 3.I thought that someone who would had just learned that basically their whole life was a complete lie would have showed some kind of pain. **You’re right, they would. And I am sorry that I totally neglected this. But I was thinking along the lines that Ginny’s life hadn’t been an exact haven. With all her brothers to compete against, and her family was so overprotective of her. But I do understand your point and I’m sorry that I passed over that fact in my story.** 4.why would ginny's mother go along with giving up her children? **You mean Molly? Well, Snape had already talked it over with her and she and Arthur knew that this would happen sometime. So, they were a bit resigned to the fact. But you are right, they wouldn’t do it willingly. I just didn’t want to put in a whole conversation between Snape, Molly, and Arthur but I had written it in my mind. I guess I made a mistake by not posting it.** 5.no weasley(i don't care how old they are or what year they're in) would ever let a Malfoy buy anything for them. **Well, Ginny was sort of in a daze at that moment. But you are right. Yet Ginny and Malfoy have never fought before. Ginny had just finished her first year so she doesn’t know Draco that well.** 6. even though the weasleys(and they aren't her real parents) are dead poor they have pride and they would've never let Ginny go work for the Malfoys. **But they were in dire need of money so I made it that they let her go work there. But you are right.** 7.what kind of parents sends their twelve year old daughter of to work? **A poor family in need of money.** **But I do see your point.** 8.The Ginny i've read about over the last five books is strong and independent and wouldn't act as dumb and childish as your Ginny(who acts like a two-year old) **But this story takes place in Ginny’s summer after her first year with the Chamber. And that has left her a tad weak and in a daze. So that explains why she has been acting the way she has.** **Thanks for your critiques I really appreciate it! Thanks for sticking with the story even though it has mistakes and holes that don’t make sense to you. I took all you said into consideration and it has really helped me write better. I hope you see a difference in the next chapter and I hope my story doesn’t continue to have this horrible hole-filled plot. Thanks again for the review! You rock for taking time to find all my mistakes and help me become a better writer!** **3. SexyTexy- I’m glad u remembered my fic! Lol! If my worst enemy grabbed a knife and split my hand in half I’d freak! Glad u think Ginny’s acting cute with Voldemort. I wanted to portray her more weakly than J.K. Rowling because I believe the Chamber might have had a stronger affect on her and she might have been less forward with life and more cheeky. Right, she’s not related to the Weasley’s at all but she is related to all her brothers, just not Molly and Arthur. Thanks for another long review! U rok! Cheers!** **4. xnishax08-Yay! Me happi that u like my stori!** 1.you should post more in your chapters, and you could go more in depth with a few things. **I Will try to do this but this is my first time writing an hp story so my story doesn’t have that good of a plot. I had thought up of this whole ginny/harry story over my 3 month summer but I forgot it all! I came to write it down and it had all slipped. I just remembered tid bits and formed this story from it.** 2. you should watch out for typos i spotted a few and it can sort of confuse people to try and figure out the words. **I Will try to be more cautious. Thanks for the tip!** **Thanks for critiquing my story! It helps me a lot! Thanks for the review! U Rock!** **5. Cassie-Lol! I’m so happy that you like the story and that you can relate to Ginny! Thanks for the review! It keeps my happi! U rock!** **6. Kathy- Thanks for the review! U really rock!** **Well that’s it! Review review review!

Joy and Madness in a Whirlwind ---------------------------------- “Poor Percy!” Ginny cried hysterically. Everyone was staring at her. “What?” “How could you kill him?!” Ron screamed. “I didn’t kill him! How could I? I was downstairs the whole time!” Ginny replied. Ron knew this was true but if she hadn’t done it then who had? Ginny had an idea and she rushed to the fireplace Bill chasing after her. She grabbed floo powder and before anyone could stop her, she landed in front of her father talking with Draco. “Percy’s dead,” she said between frantic sobs. She dropped down on her knees and cried her heart out. Draco picked her up and placed her on the armchair near him. Her father spoke. “Today? But I thought it was the middle of September?” “You knew! You knew and did nothing about it!” Ginny yelled at her father. “I was planning to do something but I thought it wasn’t until the middle of September.” Draco sat silent throughout the conversation and Ginny suddenly realized why. “You killed him didn’t you?” she asked Draco. Draco bowed his head and her father spoke up again. “When were you told?” “When Ginny was training he told me.” Draco responded. “How could you!” Ginny cried. “You can’t disobey his orders, Ginny,” Draco said. “Why are you here? You’re supposed to keep a low profile,” her father stated. “He figured out. My arm hurt and Draco came and took me to training. When I got back Harry wanted to know where’d I’d gone in a hurry and, I told him. I had no choice!” she reasoned. Her father sighed. “You will be spending the rest of the summer here. Your brothers can stay at the Weasleys if they want. But you’ll stay here and continue lessons with Draco,” he said. Ginny gaped. How did he know?” Draco didn’t tell me. I found you two talking in Draco’s room. I told you not to read the book and you disobeyed me. Draco, you may continue the lessons but don’t tell her *everything*. You know what to do.” And he apparated out of the room. Draco sat there on silence before Ginny spoke up. “How could you kill innocent people?” she asked. “I already told you.” “That’s not good enough of an answer. And my own brother! How could you? You’re something else.” “Thank you.” “Ugh, whatever. He’s gone! O lord this is going to be a horrible year!” “Same here.” “What! Did Draco Malfoy suddenly say that it’s going to be a horrible year for him! The Draco Malfoy! I’ve got to deal with my father being the potions master and me being You-know-who’s granddaughter!” “Just like everyone else, you think my life is perfect. My father spends all his time with the Dark Lord, as you should call him too, and my mother is a really happy person and that bothers me. Someone in the middle of these both extremes would do fine. But so far nothing’s come up.” “How about me! We both have miserable lives so maybe we can help each other.” “Help each other? You sound sickening.” “Why don’t you give me a try first. A month for me to prove to be an excellent friend or you can kick me out of your life. Deal?” “I can’t believe I’m about to do this, but I’m really desperate. Deal.” They shook hands and sat in silence for hours before her father popped into the room. “It’s all cleared up. But we will be staying at Hogwarts. Draco, you will come, too. Your brothers will be staying here. We don’t’ want Hogwarts underwater before term starts. Go pack your things.” Ginny and Draco looked at each other hesitantly before heading upstairs. A couple hours later they landed in Hogwarts. “You two will have a separate room then everyone else. It is located in the Slytherin Common Room. Follow me.” They both followed silently. Snape arrived at the portrait, recited the password “chicken with oil” and entered through. Ginny had never been in the Slytherin common room. It was gorgeous. It was all made of green glass that rendered it an underwater look. The coaches were green and black and the fireplace was beyond magnificent. There were chandeliers every couple of spaces so the area was well-lit. Ginny followed her father aghast down the passageway to her new dorm. The password was “meep meep boo boo”. They walked in to find a huge mini-house. It had 6 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, and 3 bathrooms. It was multi-colored. Each room had its own shade. Ginny’s was a sea green almost turquoise color. Draco’s was not emerald! Ginny was surprised to find Draco’s room a shade of light blue almost sky blue color. Draco smirked and started unpacking while Ginny left and did the same. Half and hour later they met up in the Great Hall. “Light blue?” Ginny asked still shocked. “Yeah. You got a problem with that, Ginny?” Ginny gaped at the mention of her first name. Draco just smirked again. He liked catching her off guard.” You said let’s be friends. Am I not being friendly?” “Umm…yea…you’re doing great, Draco.” She muttered. “Good.” And with that he seated himself down and upon muttering food, plates of delicious snacks appeared across the table. Ginny seated herself next to him and began to eat. Then she turned pale. “I’m stuck in the death eaters common room. I can’t believe I just did that! No more Harry, Hermione, Ron, or anyone! Oh my god, I’ve got to find dad!” “At least you’ve got your new *friend*,” Draco replied,” Anyway, your father told me to tell you that no matter how much you whine and complain he won’t change a thing.” Ginny sat in the same position for a couple minutes before heading off to bed. If she was to spend a year with only death eaters as company, then she would make the best of it, or she would sulk and cry and whine, which she did. She climbed onto her bed and whined and muttered a couple “I hate you dad” before dozing off into a dreamless sleep. She didn’t hear silent footsteps walking away hurriedly with news for others. How could she have heard? She slept like a rock and the footsteps were like pieces of snow falling onto the ground. Ginny woke up the next morning and looked around before she remembered her horrid disposition on this earth. Then she heard knocking on her door. “Come in.” Draco walked up to her bed holding his broom. “I’m going flying.” “So?” “Well, since you’re supposed to be a good friend, aren’t you coming along?” “Fine, but I’m not flying.” “Suit yourself.” Draco walked outside and closed the door behind him. Ginny wondered why he even knocked. Did Draco have manners? He just showed some, but that was little proof that a rascal as himself should have any. Ginny dressed hurriedly and dashed off to catch up with her new friend. She found him flying around after a little golden ball Ginny noticed was a Snitch. She sat on the floor watching him dive and swerve after it. Finally he caught it and landed in front of her. “Where’s your broom?” “I told you I’m not flying.” “I don’t get what it is with you! All your brothers fly and they’re not half bad! You’re learning-“ “how to fly.” Said a shadowy figure from behind Draco. Tom moved out from the shadows. “You must learn how to fly. How do you expect to get out of trouble?” Tom stated. “How are you here?” Ginny asked. “Most of Dumbledore’s little spells have loopholes, as you’ll soon learn. From now on, every Sunday Draco and yourself shall report to my lair and both Draco and I shall train you. And you will join the Gryffindor team soon enough. I should talk to your mo-dad about putting you in Slytherin. Might as well tell everyone. It won’t stay secret for long.” With that he left Ginny and Draco to reflect on his ideas. Ginny didn’t like it and Draco wasn’t pleased about it either. Little did they know that these weekly visits would turn into much more. A week passed and there was progress in Ginny and Draco’s friendship. She watched him fly and he put up with her when she went to Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade for new clothes, shoes, and anything else available. Hogwarts was going to start when news came. School began in 2 weeks and Ginny and Draco weren’t looking forward to it, especially when worse news came to Ginny one night. She was sitting on her bed studying potions when her father knocked on the door and entered. “Good morning,” he stated. “Hi” “There’s something I need to tell you. Albus only figured out recently but there’s some interesting information on your background.” “Like what?” “Like did you know I’m a Seer.” “Really? That’s so cool! Am I one?” “You might be. We can’t tell unless you get some strange dream or something like that. If you do tell us, okay.” “Sure.” “But there’s more. We have recently found an old legend. I heard at one of the death eater meetings.” “Why wasn’t I called?” “He can call certain people he wants. But the legend is a very ancient one and very true, though. And it has to do with a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. We’re sure the Gryffindor is you. But as for the Slytherin, well the Dark Lord says it’s him. But we think it might be Draco. He fits the description perfectly, but so does Tom, except for one part. He’s parents must be alive. His father pure evil and a mother pure. That describes the Malfoys and you should’ve seen the look on Lucius when he heard you were going to be wed to him.” “Woah, woah, woah! Back up! Did you just mention a wedding?” “Remember how I told you I married at age nine. Well that was because of a prophecy. This is another prophecy. And you and Draco are to be wed before Tom has a chance to do anything.” “But he wouldn’t do anything! He’s my grandfather for crying out loud! That would be so wrong!” “He’s mind doesn’t exactly work the right way, Gin. Anyway, I’ll be talking to Draco in a minute. The wedding is scheduled for August 31st.” “But I don’t want to get married! This is so unfair!” “I’ve got to go talk to Draco. I’ll be around later if you want to mope some more. By the way, your brothers don’t know yet so I suggest you keep it down for a while before I figure out how to tell Ron.” “I can tell Charlie, Bill, and Fred and George. That’ll be fun and easy!” “That’s it. Keep your hopes up.” And before Ginny could mutter anything she heard the thump of the door as her father walked out to talk to Draco. She really wanted to see this. She tiptoed over to Draco’s room and leaned slightly against the door. “The wedding is planned for August 31st.” “And my father agreed with this?” “He doesn’t know. But he knows the legend is about you and not Tom. I don’t believe he’ll take it horribly. He won’t be at the wedding, though. Neither will your mom. It’ll be you and Ginny and I. Her brothers might come depending on how well it goes when we tell them.” “Is there any way out of this?” “Yes. Tom will end up with her and I don’t want that to happen.” “What’s the rest of the legend?” “It has to do with a child. This child will hold powers beyond what we have ever seen. But its not a prophecy about how the child uses their powers to destroy evil. It doesn’t say the rest. More like we can’t translate it. It’s in some kind of odd language. We’re trying our best so far. But what do you say?” “The wedding is on.” “Excellent. I don’t know if Ginny took it to well, though. I’m interested in why you took this so well.” “If you must know, Ginny isn’t all that bad. I guess I just thought she was horrid because she bore the Weasley name. But know that we’ve had that friend’s truce I’ve gotten to see a better side of her. Except when she’s shopping. Then she’s just like Parkinson. Oh, what about Pansy?” “What about her?” “I was betrothed to her from when I was five.” “Oh. Well we’ll deal with that later. You’ve got to go get the supplies needed and I’m sure you and Ginny can arrange this wedding. This is the key to my vault. Take it and Ginny and go get ready. It’s in 2 weeks.” Ginny heard enough. She went back to her room and sat on the bed reflecting on what they had just said. Kids? No one had mentioned any kids to her. And had Draco just complimented her? Things do happen quickly in her life. Ginny wasn’t that fond of Draco, though. He was a cruel, heartless person to her. But maybe that’s because of his upbringing. *I mean if I was betrothed to someone like Parkinson at such a young age and his father bring me up, I would’ve probably commit suicide by know.* Then she remembered she had promised her dad that she would tell Bill, Charlie, and the twins. It sounded funny calling him dad. She couldn’t believe how fast she had accepted the fact. And she was astonished at how well Ron took it. *I wonder what dad told them. I mean only a couple weeks later all of us were calling him dad. It’s like it was a spell or something. I still remember Harry’s face when I told him. That was priceless.* Ginny had gotten over Harry, though most of her brothers still teased her. She wondered what school was going to be like as she headed off to the Weasleys to talk to her brothers. When Ginny had arrived her father was there, too. She saw a glimpse of his cloak as he walked upstairs to tell Ron. She hurried upstairs, too. She knocked on the twins bedroom to find everyone in there except Ron. “Hey Gin! How’s Hogwarts doing? How are you? We’ve missed you so much!” Bill said. Everyone came up to give her a hug. After the hugs Ginny told them about her private room and when she got to her truce, the twins disagreed. “How could you, Gin? He’s a Malfoy.” “But maybe there’s more than meets the eye. Have you ever considered what you would do if you had a family like his? His father doesn’t care for him at all. And not to mention he’s been betrothed to Parkinson since he was five.” “What!” Fred cried. “Yeah. And over the period of 2 weeks I’ve seen a really nice side of him. But there’s something I have to tell you guys. Don’t say anything until I’m done. Today dad came in and told me about his latest death eater meeting. The Dark Lord, (*Draco’s been getting to me more than I thought! Did I just call him the Dark Lord? O gosh),* told them about a legend. It has to do with a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. Well, the Dark Lord thinks that he’s the Slytherin. And everyone is sure that I’m the Gryffindor. But not everyone agrees with him. The legend says that the Slytherin’s parents will still be alive. The father’s evil while the mother’s pure. That means that-“ “It’s Malfoy! No way! What-“ George was cut off by Ginny. “Yes, it’s Draco. The legend says that they will marry to produce an offspring with powers beyond belief. But whether the child will use their power for good or bad, we don’t know. The legend is in an old language and they haven’t been able to translate that part yet.” “A child! Are you mad? You are not going to marry Malfoy and there certainly will not be a child named Malfoy Jr. running around anywhere near you!” Fred cried. Charlie and Bill had been silent the whole time. She looked at them, asking for their opinion on the matter. Charlie spoke. “You guys, we might as well give Malfoy a chance. I mean if I had his family who knows what would have happened to me! We should give him a chance.” Ginny awaited Bill’s response happily. She knew Bill would take this well. He always understood her best and always agreed with her. “I’m with the twins. Gin, you have no idea what his capable of! You could be putting yourself in danger. Just because dad said that it’s a good idea, doesn’t mean it’s right! He gave us to the Weasleys and just recently told us the truth. For all we know he could be lying!” “But Bill! He isn’t and you know he only did it for the best! What happened? I thought you would take this the best! You always stood up for me! Why is now so different.” She awaited a reply but none came. She dashed out of the room and into the garden. She sat there weeping silently. Why had Bill taken this all wrong? A couple minutes later Bill came out and sat down next to her. He embraced her tightly and spoke. “Gin, you’re my only sister. And losing you to a Malfoy is not an idea I want to accept right now. You’re the youngest and our only sister. I don’t want to lose you any time soon.” “But you’re not losing me, Bill. I’ll always be there. I promise.” Bill hugged her tighter and she cradled her gently. “Thanks. I’m all up for the idea.” Ginny looked up into his face and smiled warmly. “What about the twins?” “Charlie’s dealing with them.” “I love you.” “Love you, too.” Ginny got up and Bill went back inside. She could hear Ron’s yelling and felt sorry for her father. She giggled silently for no apparent reason and headed for the fireplace. She landed right in Draco’s room. “Hi.” She said. “Hey.” “Umm…what should we do first?” Draco looked up from his studies and thought for a moment before realizing she meant the wedding. “Why don’t we go down to Gringotts first so we can get some money and then we’ll split up. You go pick out your wedding dress and I’ll get my tux and your ring. We’ll meet back in the leaky cauldron.” Ginny nodded and they got out of the room and a second later landed in the bustling wizard town, Diagon Alley. Ginny followed Draco to Gringotts. They gave the goblin the key and headed down into the vault. When the door opened so did Ginny’s mouth. It was huge and every section was filled with galleons. Draco took about 10,000 galleons and they headed back outside. “Wow,” Ginny said breathlessly. Never in her life had she seen so much money. And it belonged to *her* family. Draco smirked and handed her 5,000 while he took the other half and they parted in different directions. ‘ Ginny headed into the wedding dress store. It was beautiful. “Hello dear. How may I help you?” asked the salesclerk. “Umm…I’m looking for a wedding dress. For me that is.” “Okay follow me.” Ginny followed her into the mini size section of the store. She looked around while the salesclerk went to help someone else. Ginny tried on 15 different dresses before picking one. It was ankle length and had a low neck-line. The sleeves were three quarters and the ends were cut in a diamond shape. It had a wavy hem at the bottom of the dress and it had a bow that tied around her waist. The veil was just like any other but it felt special to Ginny. She took the dress and went to pay. “1,000 galleons and 15 sickles.” Ginny paid and left the store happily with her bag bouncing up and down. Then she went to the boutique shop and bought a bouquet filled with jasmines, roses both red and pink, daisies, lilacs, and chrysanthemums. It cost 15 galleons. Then she bought white high heel shoes that reminded her of Professor McGonagall. When she finished she went to the leaky cauldron to find Draco sitting down enjoying a glass of butterbeer. Another glass was set on the table and Ginny guessed it was for her. She walked over and Draco pulled her chair out for her like a perfect gentlemen. Ginny smiled and wondered what other gentlemen-like things he actually knew. He handed her the glass of butterbeer and Ginny sipped on it happily. “Did you get everything?” “The wedding dress, shoes, and a bouquet of flowers. You?” “The tux and a ring that no girl would say not to.” Ginny giggled. They sat there for a couple of minutes before leaving and heading back to Hogwarts. Draco apparated them there and they sat in his room making plans. Finally, the day came. Ginny nervously put on her gown and shoes and picked up her bouquet. Bill had offered to help her. He sat in the room helping her put on the gown and commenting her on how pretty she looked. Finally, Bill steadied her as she walked out of the room with her high heel shoes. The wedding was to be held near the lake. They walked to the lake and waited in the cabins that had been built recently for this wedding. Ginny nervously kept looking at the flowers and twirling her neat hair. She had it tied up in a high ponytail and left a few strands dangling around her face. “Stop playing with your hair. You’ll mess it up.” Bill scolded. “I can’t! I’m so nervous! What if he figures out?” Ginny had been going to her flying lessons and trainings with Draco. She was sp nervous she would slip up and tell him that Draco had to put a silencing charm on her every once in a while. The flying lessons were no good. No matter how hard they tried she would not get on the broom. But the training was going well and Voldemort had said she would learn to Apparate soon. Ginny banished these thoughts from her mind when she heard Draco’s voice outside. Bill helped her up and she walked out of the cabin. She looked at Draco and found him standing near her father. He looked stunning in black. The wedding began and Ginny never forgot it. Ginny walked up to Draco and stood there as a phoenix came and landed on the perch to Ginny’s left. It spoke: *“Here stands a boy and girl* *On a hot August day* *The sun shines bright* *And the waves crash on the bay* *You can hear the bells and chimes* *And remember the happy times* *As you stand here today* *The rivers flow rapidly* *Awaiting the time* *Where the boy tells the girl* *You’re forever mine* *The sun shines bright* *Awaiting the time* *Where the boy tells the girl* *I love you day and night* *The trees sway in the breeze* *Awaiting the time* *The boy and girl* *Smile like* *the sun shines* *The whole world stands on its end* *Awaiting the ceremony* *That their hearts will mend* *Intertwined forever* *This newly-wed couple* *Shall never be severed”* During the ceremony this song played: **1.***When* *your days are dark* *And your nights are cold* *When you've just about* *Lost all your faith* *When your will is gone* *And your heart is torn* *'Cause nothing is going your way* *When the world has* *Got you trapped* *And you can't find that open door* *If you're ever in a battle* *And you just can't fight no more* *I will rescue you* *I will rescue you* *I will shelter you from the rain* *I will dry your tears* *Cast away your fears* *And bring you to brighter days* *Whenever you're lost and confused* *Like a fairy tale come true* *I will rescue you* *If you ever feel* *That you can't go on* *When your life just* *Becomes too hard* *And the dreams you thought* *Were within your reach* *Suddenly seem so far* *When the world is on your case* *And you don't have* *A place to run* *If the storm keeps getting stronger* *And you cannot see the sun* *I will rescue you* *I will rescue you* *I will shelter you from the rain* *I will dry your tears* *Cast away your fears* *And bring you to brighter days* *Whenever you're lost and confused* *Like a fairy tale come true* *I will rescue you* *And it don't matter where you are* *I'll be by your side* *I'll be the rock that you can lean on* *I'll be your guide* *I will rescue you* *I will rescue you* *I will shelter you from the rain* *I will dry your tears* *Cast away your fears* *And bring you to brighter days* *Whenever you're lost and confused* *Like a fairy tale come true* *I will rescue you* Draco bent down at the end and placed a gentle kiss on Ginny’s lips while slipping an emerald and ruby ring on her finger. At that moment the sun shined it’s brightest and the waves echoed a lulling harmony. The trees swayed gently bestowing a calm breeze and the whole world seemed to applaud the new couple in some way. The phoenix flew away and a golden feather fell behind them, blessing them forever. Ginny smiled as tears fled down her cheeks. The rest of the day went perfectly. Her brothers spent the day talking to Malfoy and trying to find a fault in him. Her father came up to her and gave her tight squeeze and planted a kiss on her forehead. Ginny smiled. Draco woke up the next morning and remembered that today was the 1st day of school. He pouted and went to dress. Ginny woke up and sulked when she remembered school started today. She hurriedly got dressed and walked out the door to bump into Draco. “Hey,” Draco mumbled. “Hi.” They were silent the rest of the way. They headed towards the Great Hall and everyone stared as Ginny sat down next to her brothers. Ginny sat restlessly during the sorting. Then Dumbledore stood up and made an announcement that left Ginny and Draco stunned. “Will Ginny Anne Katherine Snape and Draco Ethan Xavier Malfoy please stand up.” Ginny and Draco stood up and they heard murmurs around them. “Snape? I thought it was Weasley?” “What’s Draco got to do with her? What’s happening?” “Silence. Now as you all know, Ginny was known as a Weasley and so were her brothers. We believe that you must be informed that they are not Weasleys. They are Snapes. They have been told they were Weasleys to keep them from danger. Severus Snape is their father. Their mother is Heather Antoinette Riddle.” Gasps could be heard everywhere in the Great Hall. Ginny was praying he wouldn’t mention the wedding. “And over the summer, or more like yesterday, these two were married under the effect if a legend. Thank you all and have a great year.” Ginny’s heart plummeted when she heard the last sentence. It was going to be the end of her. She sat down silently awaiting the surprises the day would bring. She got up and headed for her first class, Potions. Colin followed her. “Your married to Malfoy?” he asked. “Yeah.” “Wow. I thought he was a slimy git.” “Well there’s more to him than meets the eye.” They sat down in class and Snape walked in. “Today we will be brewing a potion that allows you to see through someone else’s eyes on certain emotions. Today it will be sadness.” He clapped his hands and the instructions appeared on the board. Ginny set to work with Colin. They finished the potion and it was perfect. Her other friend, Annie, looked as if she had been avoiding Ginny because she hadn’t said a word to her the whole day. Her father strode over and told Ginny that she could test it out on Colin. Ginny took a glass and added a pinch of Colin’s hair in it and drank it. It didn’t taste bad at all which surprised Ginny. Then she started to see images. “And over the summer, or more like yesterday, these two were married under the effect if a legend.” Dumbledore’s voice echoed. She felt Colin’s heart drop and tears rolled down his cheeks. Then the effect stopped and she looked at Colin. She avoided him the rest of the day not wanting to cause him any more sadness. *So Colin likes me? O great. Some year this is going to be*. She went to lunch and hurriedly finished up and headed to her Transfiguration class. She took her seat next to Jake Mitler as Prof. McGonagall walked in and began the lesson. They were learning how to transfigure notebooks into mice. Ginny got it on her first try. She had top marks in all her classes except Herbology. She passed last year on a C average. She definitely needed help. Transfiguration ended and she headed to Herbology. Today they were studying Mandrakes. Ginny learned how the students last year had been cured. Herbology finished and she headed for Dinner. Annie ran up to her. “Sorry I’ve been avoiding you lately,” she said. “It’s okay. But why have you?” “Well I didn’t know what to expect from you. I mean who knows what could’ve happened to the Ginny I knew over the summer.” Ginny giggled and they sat down together as Annie told Ginny about her summer in Hawaii. Annie’s dad was a muggle and she always got to go over to exotic places with him. Dinner finished and she headed over to her bedroom. Draco came out to meet her with a grave look on his face. “Gin?” “Yeah?” “Umm… There is something I need to tell you.” “Okay, out with it.” “Your brother Bill died today.” “What! No way! How? Please let this be a joke, please.” “It isn’t a joke. He was found dead on the floor in the kitchen with the message. It said: **WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN, WE WARNED YOU AHEAD OF TIME. NOW IT HAS HAPPENED, BEWARE FOR MORE SHALL COME.** Ginny felt tears stream down her face. Draco hugged her gently and she cried on his chest. They stood like that for a couple minutes before her father came in. “I see you’ve told her already.” “Yeah.” Ginny looked up at her father. “Why? Why would he do it?” she asked. “We think he found out about your wedding, but we’re not sure. We haven’t met yet so no one knows.” Draco wiped the tears off Ginny’s face with his thumb gently. “I heard your not doing so well in Herbology.” “Yeah.” “Want me to help? I can tutor you.” “Okay.” Ginny followed Draco to his room and brought out her textbook. “What kind of a learner are you?” Draco asked. “What do you mean?” “Well, do you learn well with pictures, by reading, by hearing, or doing projects.” “Umm…I’m not sure.” “Okay, well let’s try reading. Read this paragraph to yourself and I’ll question you on it when your done.” Ginny did as she was told and Draco figured that it wasn’t the best way. He tried pictures, but that didn’t work well either. He tried projects, but to no avail. Finally, he tried reading to her and figured out she memorized pretty well that way. She was able to repeat everything he said. Prof. Sprout didn’t talk very much in her class so he understood that was why she was failing. But how did she do so well in Potions then? She had to read the instructions to know what to do. But he figured that she must have her father’s blood in her or something. Draco read to her three fourths of the textbook before his voice left him. Ginny told him they could do it tomorrow and he agreed. Draco took Ginny and tucked her in bed before he slipped in beside her. They both slept soundly. Ginny woke up the next morning and got out of bed to find Draco still asleep next to her. She blushed and shook him slightly. He woke up and smiled at her before planting a small kiss on her cheek. They both got dressed and ready for the day that awaited them. Ginny sat down next to Ron and chatted with him for a while before skidding off to her first class that day, Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA). They had a new teacher, Professor Remus Lupin and everyone had said wonderful things about. Ginny couldn’t wait to have him. She sat down next to Annie as Prof. Lupin walked in. “Good morning class. Today we will be studying boggarts.” He droned on about what a boggart is and how to banish it. Ginny listened attentively. She wondered what her boggart would be. She wasn’t exactly one to be afraid of anything. She hated spiders, but didn’t fear them. She didn’t mind heights. And unlike everyone else, she didn’t loathe Snape. Many went up one by one and each destroyed their boggart quickly. One or two of the boggarts were an exact duplicate of her father and she giggled as they formed. It was finally her turn. She walked up to face her boggart. It transformed into her grandfather and everyone in the room gasped. She quickly destroyed it and went back to her seat. No one had commented her on being his granddaughter so far, but now surely someone would. She wondered why no one had. Were they afraid of her? Had Annie been afraid of her yesterday? Ginny banished these thoughts as whispers were shared in the room. “Silence all. Now boggarts will be on your final test so we will do this one more time.” But this time Ginny didn’t get a turn. She didn’t mind, of course. She didn’t want to be the subject of mummers in the hall. When they were dismissed to lunch, Prof. Lupin called out to her. “Ginny, would you mind staying back for a while.” “No, professor.” “Do you fear your grandfather?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because of all the horrible things he did. It scares me that no one has the courage to stop him. Is he really that powerful?” “Yes, I’m afraid so. But being his granddaughter gives you an advantage. He will not hurt you because he needs you.” “I don’t get it.” “You will in time. You are dismissed.” Ginny left the room pondering the odd conversation she had just had. She walked down to lunch and seated herself in the same spot. She didn’t tell anyone about it. She planned to tell Draco about it later. Her day went by uneventfully until night. She walked back to her room. She walked in to meet face to face with a very serious father. “Ginny, you know the legend I told you?” “Yes.” “Do you know all of it?” “Yes.” “Well you accomplished one part very well. You now need to accomplish the second. A child.” “Are you mad? I’ve been married for three days and you expect kids?” “Yes.” “No way. How I am supposed to take care of it?” “I will hire a babysitter for it and it can stay in one of the bedrooms here.” “But, I’m not ready.” “No need to be. Here’s a potion you will take and it will take care of everything. Oh, and children in the wizarding world can come as soon as the next day or as long as 9 months. That’s the longest. It depends on the child. It’s very rare to have it exceed 4 months, but it might happen.” “Oh lord,” was all she could say as her father left. She drank the potion and knocked on Draco’s room. She woke up the next morning and dressed up hurriedly before rushing off to meet Madame Pomfrey. But first she woke up the sleeping Draco beside her. When she arrived she found Madame Pomfrey tending a child who appeared to have broken his arm. She walked over to her and the nurse knew exactly what to do before Ginny even said a word. Her father must have spoken with the nurse. She came back with a purple liquid in a bowl. She placed it on a table and told Ginny to dip her hand in. If the water disappeared, that means there is no child. But if the water turned green, that meant child. “But doesn’t it usually take a while before you can figure out?” “No, not in the wizarding world. Now hurry up dear.” Ginny placed her hand in gingerly. The color changed. It turned green. She was pregnant. Ginny took her hand out and rushed to tell Draco. She found him eating in the Great Hall. Today was Saturday so she had the whole day to relax. “Draco!” she exclaimed. Draco put his food down and walked over to where she was. “Hey,” he said as he placed a kiss on her cheek. “Guess what?” “What?” “I’m pregnant.” “What! No way!” “Yeah.” “Boy or girl?” “I don’t know.” “Did you tell your father yet?” “No. Come with me please?” “Okay.” Draco stared at his wife as they walked down to the dungeons. They knocked and opened the door. He was seated correcting papers. He looked up. “I’m pregnant!” she exclaimed awaiting his reaction. “I see. How long will you carry it?” “How can I tell?” ”How fast did the color of the water change?” “30 seconds.” “Then it’ll be some time at the end of October.” “Oh. Can you tell if it’s a boy or girl?” “No. Not now.” “Okay.” Ginny spent the rest of the day with Draco trying to understand his cold personality. A figure followed them all day and no one noticed. They spent the day by the lake. After a while Ginny wanted to go swimming and Draco didn’t argue. They fetched their suits. Draco had on blue trunks that matched his eyes mysteriously and Ginny had on a red bikini with black spots that made her look like a cute mini-ladybug. She dived into the water and floated around. Draco did a couple of laps before picking Ginny up from underwater and throwing her a couple feet away. “Draco!” “What?” he asked innocently. Ginny swam over to him and he threw her again. After about 2 hours Draco told her she better get out before she kills the child. She dried up and they raced back to their dorms. They took a shower and sat there laughing before Ginny had to go to the library. She was walking out of the room when she bumped into her grandfather. “How can you be here? You can’t Apparate into Hogwarts and you can’t walk in or someone would see you.” “I have my ways. Oh and by the way I have a secret for you. I’m not really your grandfather. I adopted your mom. You can’t tell anyone. I want to tell them. Got that?” “Yes.” “Excellent. Shall we have some fun?” “W-what?” But before she could answer her world began to spin. Draco heard frantic cries coming from the direction of the library and remembered Ginny. He ran over to the spot and found her lying there. Her clothes were tattered and she was weeping. He carried her gently over to her father. “Professor!” Draco cried. “What is- Oh lord, do you know who did it?” “No. She said she was going to the library and after she left I heard screams from that direction so I went to check it out. And I found her like that.” Ginny was still whimpering but managed to say,” Dark Lord.” “Are you sure, Gin,” her father asked. She nodded. “Eww! Her own grandfather!” Draco cried with disgust. Snape gave him a stern look to silence him because Ginny had started to cry again. “Take her up to Madame Pomfrey and tell her she’s been raped. Pomfrey should give her medicine and check if she’s pregnant.” “Okay.” Draco left with Ginny up to the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey put her in a bed and gave her the same test. All of a sudden the water……………. 1. I Will Rescue You by Plus one **Okay. HEHE im evil. I left you at a cliff hangy sp u better review if u want to figure out her state.

Troubles ------------ A/N- I have the rest of this story typed out. It’s going to be around 21 chapters. I even have the sequel ready. So all you have to do is review so all the chapters can come speedy delivery! I have an idea for another new story. It should be up after the sequel to spiraled. The sequel will be around 8 chapters. Enjoy! ~~~!~~~ The water turned green. “Oh my god…” Ginny muttered,” It can’t be true. How can I carry two people’s kids at the same time?” “In the wizarding world you can carry up to five people’s kids at the same time, dear.” “That’s really disgusting and wrong. And the water changed in 30 seconds, too. Oh lord this is a nightmare,” Ginny said between silent tears. Draco cradled her in his arms. He carried her back down to their dorm and told her father. She lay in bed restlessly tossing and turning. Finally Draco came in and put his arm around her and lulled her to sleep. Ginny woke up the next day. This time Draco was already awake. “Hey sleepyhead,” he said. “Hi.” “Want to go to the library and study?” “Mhmm.” “Then get dressed. Come on.” He walked outside and waited for her. They spent the day in the library. Draco tutored Ginny in Herbology and after a while, they finished the book. So now Ginny knew it cover to cover. “Draco,” she said,” how do you learn?” “I have a photographic memory,” he replied lazily as he finished up his history of magic essay. “Then don’t you have trouble in History of Magic?” “No, because after his lecture I flip through my notes and I memorize the pages easily. I might have trouble taking notes but Parkinson can always give me them.” Ginny got up and walked over to the muggle section and picked out a couple fairytales. When she came back and sat down, Draco picked up one of them and began to read out loud. It was Beauty and the Beast. When he finished he remembered something. “We’ve got to go to your flying lessons,” he stated as he grabbed Ginny’s hand and Apparated her out of Hogwarts. “O great,” she mumbled. “Ah, I see you have arrived. Excellent. Today you shall get on the broom and if you do well, I’ll teach you how to Apparate. Got that?” he asked as he eyed her stomach. “Yea,” she said, looking away from him and staring at the floor. He handed her a Firebolt and she got up on it half-willingly. “Now I want you to fly high in the air, to a loop, dive down, and pull up before he crash gracefully. Ginny decided to try her best since if she finished this, they would hopefully leave her alone. She got up high in the air and did a perfect loop. Then she dived down and pulled up landing beautifully near Draco. “Excellent. Now we can finally teach you how to Apparate. Now get of the broom and come stand near me.” Ginny got off but went to stand near Draco before Tom’s hands clasped around her and pulled her near him. “Now think about the place you want to be, in this case Hogwarts. Focus as hard as you can and imagine every aspect of that place. Then tell your mind to go and you should arrive there perfectly.” Ginny did as she was told. She vanished a couple minutes later, landing in Hogwarts library. Draco came after her. “That’s so easy! I’ve been waiting so long to learn that!” she cried. “Yea. But now he has to register you. He finished that up so now you can Apparate wherever you want. But there is a catch to this. You have to accomplish a task for him.” “Task? As in kill people?” “I don’t know how far he’ll go with you, but maybe it might be killing.” Ginny looked at him horrified. Draco walked out of the library and headed outside. Ginny felt weak. She went to eat lunch. When she went back to her dorm she felt even weaker and unstable. All of a sudden she lost consciousness all together. She dropped on the floor. Draco finished his jog and went back to the dorm. He opened up Ginny’s door to find her lying on the floor. He ran up to her quickly and felt her pulse. *Good, she’s still alive.* He picked her up and went to look for her father. He knocked on the dungeon’s door and found her father inside. “Professor, I found her on the floor, unconscious.” “O lord,” he went up to his daughter and felt her forehead. It was boiling hot. “We’ll have to take her to St. Mungo’s.” “Why can’t Madame Pomfrey cure her?” “Just do as I say. Apparate her to St. Mungo’s. It has begun.” Draco did as he was told obediently. He arrived at the hospital and checked in a room for her. He had been here before with his father. He walked into the room and placed her on the bed. A nurse came in a couple minutes and pulled up a chair for Draco. She checked Ginny’s temperature and told him it was 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course a normal person would’ve died. But a witch and wizard is different. Draco sat there patiently. He knew there was no cure for this but that it would wear off after a week. It was part of the test after you learned how to Apparate. Three illnesses would fall upon you. This was the first. The second one would be a painful ache that kept her paralyzed for a week. And the last one would be one where she couldn’t feel. She would have no feelings. Draco had passed all of them. But that was because his father had already prepared him. All he could do know was stare at the poor helpless Ginny. An hour later her eyelids fluttered open. “Draco,” she said weakly. “Shh..” he replied. “Where am I?” “St. Mungo’s. It’s a hospital.” “What! Why?” “You fainted on the floor. You’re lucky I found you. What happened?” “ I went to eat lunch and then I felt tired so I went back to our dorm. I felt dizzy and then I fainted. That’s all I remember.” “Oh,” was all Draco could say. “I saw something.” Draco instantly looked up. “It was somewhat blurry, though. I saw 6 kids running around us. But it they didn’t look like you. One did, the rest didn’t.” She stopped and looked out the window. Draco got up and called her father. “What is it?” her father asked. “I think she saw a vision.” “How do you know?” “It was blurry, she said. She saw 6 kids running around Ginny and I. One looked like me, the rest looked different. But she was sure they were hers.” “Interesting. We will wait a while. If it happens in the next two months, then she’s a Seer. If it doesn’t, then it was probably just a dream.” “Okay.” Draco walked back inside and sat by her. All of a sudden, Ginny couldn’t move. She moved her arm to touch Draco’s, but she pulled back and whimpered. Draco looked at her mysteriously. How could she be paralyzed already. Each one happens in it’s due time. Draco got up to tell her father, but it was a bad mistake. As soon as he got out, four shadows stepped into the room. One was the one that had been following them the whole time. “Hello Ginny,” said a husky feminine voice. “We’ve been waiting and watching a long time.” “Who are you?” Ginny asked. But that was soon answered when these figures walked out into the moonlight. Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Tom Riddle, and Marcus Flint. It was going to be some night, especially when Goyle and Flint moved forward on Parkinson’s orders. Tom waited for a while before going over, too. The sheets were ripped out of her hands. But she couldn’t move. She was paralyzed after all. All she could do was try to scream, but Parkinson put a silencing charm on her. Draco heard frantic cries for the second time this week. He rushed over to the room and found Ginny lying on the bed. The sheet was covering her but she was crying real hard. Draco went over to her. “What happened?” he asked. “Goyle a-and Flint a-and D-dark L-lordd and P-parkins-son came!” she replied. Draco looked at her and realized they didn’t come to visit. “I’ve got to go tell your dad, okay. I’ll be back soon.” He got up reluctantly and went to find her father. Ginny wept as she looked outside. The night was still and you could hear owls hooting. The breeze swept by blowing strands of Ginny’s hair away from her wet face. She relaxed as she heard her father’s voice outside. He barged in and walked over to Ginny. He handed her a bowl and Ginny did as she was told. The water changed color as Ginny’s face paled. How many kids was she carrying? She didn’t want to know. And they were all due in October. Her father looked at her, comfort in his eyes. He picked her up and cradled her for the first time. He truly felt sorry for her. Ginny wept a bit more before she cried herself to sleep. This condition lasted for a week as Draco had thought. Draco went to school and came and visited her Afterschool. They left a nurse with her every night as a caution. Finally, one day Draco came ad picked her up out of bed and took her outside. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Taking you back to Hogwarts, we’re flying by the way.” Ginny gave him an I-hate-you look as he placed her on the broom. She clasped her arms around his waist and held on tight. Her grandfather hadn’t pestered them about flying lessons because he knew of Ginny’s condition. Ginny and Draco had forgotten about those lessons since now she had real ones. All of a sudden Ginny’s clothes changed to her Hogwarts school robes. Draco looked at her with a raised eyebrow that made her giggle. “How did you do that?” he asked. “Do what?” She looked the way he was staring and gasped. How had she changed her clothes so quickly without a wand. “I’ve read about people like that. Their clothes change depending on their mood or location.” “You sound like Hermione,” she stated. “But that’s so cool!” Ginny told her father about what had happened and he confirmed Draco’s remark. School was just like every year except that kids kept coming up to her and asking her about her family. After a while it quieted down. Finally, it was the day before Halloween. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Was that a long enough chappie? I know most think that being pregnant with up to 5 people’s kids is wrong..but I wanted to make this story as different as possible! If it disturbs you, I’m really sorry! Thank yous: 1. xnishax08- Thanks for the review! U rock! 2. Anonymous- It’s explained in this chapter how she could be pregnant twice. Thanks for the review! 3. hpfanmelissa- This is my first story ever and I’ve been told quite a few times it moves too quickly. That’s why I’ve started work on another story I might have posted soon after the sequel to his story and I hope it’s much better. I’m sorry bout all the talking and no emotions. Thanks for sticking with the story and reviewing! 4. PercyWeasley12- Thanks so much for your enthusiastic reviews!

Lol, you really want to murder Tom. Thanks for telling me Draco gave in a little too quickly. I’ve really got to learn to put more struggle in these things. Hopefully my next story will be much better with all this advice. Lo, I’m sorry bout the rape. I don’t even know how my little brain thought up of it! Thanks for the review! 16. Delivery and a Broken Memory Charm -------------------------------------- **A/N-This story is going to be 21 chapters! Then I have a sequel planned that’s going to be 8 or 9 chapters! Thanks everyone! You guys rock!** ******************************************************************** Ginny still hadn’t delivered and it was the day before Halloween. She sat in the Slytherin Common Room pondering what had happened in at St. Mungo’s. How could they have raped her? *Ugh, I hate Parkinson! She’s so messed up!* The clock struck 11:30 pm. Ginny suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain. Draco rushed in and tried to calm her down. He picked her up and took her to the hospital wing. She lay there taking deep breaths as Draco waited beside her. Madame Pomfrey shooed him outside and Ginny delivered at the stroke of midnight. The first kid was a little blonde boy with eyes that resembled Draco real well. Ginny giggled as she say 4 beds next to her. One was labeled Malfoy, another Flint, Goyle, and Riddle. She placed the boy on the Malfoy bed. How did she know all this? It’s like a female Dumbledore. Next was another boy and Ginny gasped. He resembled Flint very well. He had black hair and beady brown eyes. Thirdly, another boy arrived and Ginny paled. *How many kids was I carrying?* This boy looked like chubby Goyle and had brown hair and brown eyes. Then another child came out. But not child, children. Twins. A boy and girl that resembled Tom except for the hair. They had strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes. Ginny sighed thinking it was finally over, but it wasn’t. Out came the last child, a girl. She had raven black hair and bright sky blue eyes. She looked like Tom, too. *How did I get 3 kids from him? One or two from St. Mungo’s and…o yea, from the hallway when I was going to the library.* She gagged, remembering what had happened. She looked at the peaceful kids beside her. She smiled. Draco walked in and placed a passionate kiss on her lips before heading over to 5 kids. She could tell he was stunned. Now to name them. “What are we to name them?” Draco asked. “Let’s name ours first. I’m quite fond of Christopher. It has many cute, short nicknames.” “Okay, fine. Christopher Allen?” “Okay! Christopher Allen Malfoy. Now Flint’s.” “How about Eric? Eric Flint Malfoy. You can’t keep him with the name Flint forever.” Ginny smiled. She had thought he would want to give them to some orphanage or something. But it seemed he had accepted them with open arms. But there was still her father. “Fine with me. Next is Goyle’s. How about Jacob Goyle Malfoy.” “Okay, next. Twins…..How about Matthew and…” “Megan! Matthew and Megan Riddle Malfoy. Now the last one, Aqua? It describes her eyes perfectly. They’re beautiful.” Draco had to agree. Her eyes were stunning especially with that raven black hair. It contradicted her pale complexion well. “Okay. Aqua Riddle Malfoy.” Birth Certificates: Christopher Allen Malfoy Birthday: October 31, 2000-Halloween Time: 12:00 midnight, Friday Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Blue Weight: 3 pound Height: 1 foot 3 inches Eric Flint Malfoy Birthday: October 31, 2000-Halloween Time: 12:00 midnight, Friday Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Brown Weight: 4 pounds (sorri if I get this wrong but I don’t know how much they normally weigh or how tall they are) Height: 1 foot 1 inch Jacob Goyle Malfoy Birthday: October 31, 2000-Halloween Time: 12:00 midnight, Friday Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Weight: 4 ½ pounds Height: 11 inches Matthew and Megan Riddle Malfoy Birthday: October 31, 2000-Halloween Time: 12:00 midnight, Friday Hair Color: Strawberry Blonde Eye Color: Brown Weight: 3 ½ pounds Height: 1 foot 2 inches Aqua Riddle Malfoy Birthday: October 31, 2000-Halloween Time: 12:00 midnight, Friday Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Blue Weight: 3 pounds Height: 10 inches Ginny’s father walked in and stood rooted to the spot as he stared at 6 kids. He was awaiting a kid or two, but 6! “Oh lord,” he said. Ginny lay in bed cuddling Aqua. She seemed special to her somehow. “Before you go off screaming in shock, wizard kids have a tendency to talk at the tender age of 4 or 5 months and they’ll have a full head of hair before you can remember your chubby, little baby,” her father informed her. “But what’s going to be hard is not letting your father and mother know along with Tom.” Ginny looked at Aqua and all her worries seemed to disappear. Two months later Ginny was up and about chasing after her already walking kids. She smiled as she remembered Halloween. FLASHBACK “Hey Gin, you look gorgeous,” stated Draco. She had dressed up as an angel and surely looked like one. She had on a white dress that came just above her knees. It had a pretty low neckline that came a bit above her chest. It had spaghetti strings and her tied up in a bun with hair falling neatly from it. She had on the angel wings, too. Draco came as a model. He had on a tight black top and tight black shorts. His hair was loose from his usual gel. They danced for several hours nonstop. They were the key couple on the dance floor. The rest of the day went by uneventfully. END FLASHBACK Christopher and the rest of the kids, except for Aqua, were playing tag. Aqua sat on the floor trying to read a book Ginny had bought for her. Ginny sat down beside her and decided to see just how smart Aqua was by teaching her the ABC’s. But this brought back memories of when she was little and all of a sudden remembered something a memory charm was supposed to make her forget. MEMORY “Hey Faten!” cried a hyper girl named Evelyn. (I found the name Faten in an Arabic book and I thought it might be neat. It means captivating). Evelyn had light brown hair and kiwi green eyes. She jumped up and down singing, ”I’ve got a pickle! I’ve got a pickle! I’ve got a pickle, hey hey, hey hey!” A blonde girl with green eyes came up to her and tried to shush her but to no avail. Her name was Katherine, but KK for short. “Hey Faten!” she said with delight. “Jenifer’s on the other side.” Jenifer was a new girl. She had black hair and brown eyes and loved to dance. Arya sat on a bench playing video games with Michael. Arya had black hair and brown eyes and so did Michael. Then in came a girl named Hana. “Hey fatty tuna sandwich! I need help with the homework.” I sat down beside her and helped her out. I couldn’t blame her, the questions were really confusing. Later on she talked about how depressed she was. She was a really depressed person. She liked cutting herself when she’s down. She had cuts and bruises on her shoulder blades and forearms. She showed me the new ones she had carved yesterday. We sat there chatting about our lives and trying to help the other out of the dark when the bell rang. We all went inside. Class was uneventful. In recess KK spent time talking about Kirby (a video game) while Jenifer talked about a new dance move and our mouse society. Evelyn sang This Is My United States of Whatever over and over. I never knew I would be thankful for this noise and commotion. After a while I got tempted to write a Harry Potter story. Little did I know I would soon be a character in my own book. END MEMORY Ginny sat there silently as she remembered the smell of that spring morning air. When had she been there? She didn’t remember that. She got up to go talk to her father. “Is Mommy all right?” she asked. “Mommy’s fine,” she replied. “I’ll be right-“ but as if on cue, her father walked in. “Dad, who are Evelyn and KK?” “Oh,” her father paused*. How had she remembered? She had a very strong memory charm on her.* “I might as well tell you. When you were small we sent you to a muggle school. We decided it would be good for you. So from when you were 3, you went to that school. When you were 10 and had received the letter to Hogwarts, we put a strong memory charm on you to forget your friends and everything except what you were taught there. Your brothers all had the same thing, but none of them remembered their friends. But it seems you have broken the charm.” “Why did you make me forget all that!” “It was your mom’s idea.” “Oh. I have a surprise for you and Draco.” Again as if on cue Draco walked in. “Perfect. Aqua come here,” Aqua did as she was told, “now read this passage.” Aqua began reading a college level book. Not only could she read it, but she could understand it, too. “Wow,” Draco said. Her father smirked and left the room. Tom apparated in. He put his arm around Ginny and stated happily, “Hey!”. Draco stood up and looked at his master. Ginny shoved his arm off and spoke up. “What are you doing here?” “Coming to visit my kids and coming to tell you the world is no longer in danger.” **************************************************************** **Okay!

He had just acted nice and had said hey. This was weird. “I’m giving up my title as world dominator-Voldemort. The only reason I did that was because of my father, Godric Gryffindor-“ “But wait. If he’s your father then wouldn’t your last name be Gryffindor?” Draco asked. “I changed it. I didn’t want to carry his name. He always wanted me to be good and get top marks. But when I was sorted into Slytherin, I saw things differently. My father was quite displeased and kept pestering me about being good. I got frustrated and changed my name and personality. I took up evil things and became one of the strongest villains in the wizarding world. My mother never understood me, either. She knew I had the good grades and I could do very well, but she didn’t understand why I hated getting top marks and being a goody-goody. I was made fun of by the Slytherins. Whenever I got a mistake on a test or in class I was laughed at. I didn’t want my life to be like that. So I changed. But it’s not worth it now. My parents are long gone along with my sister.” “Woah, woah, woah! Back up! Did you say sister?” Ginny asked astonished. “Yes, her name was Anne. She was pretty cool. She wasn’t such a goody-goody, but she was always favored by my parents. She tried to help me, but to no avail, because she died when I was 5. She was only 7 years old. My parents figured out that she was lying to them when they asked her how I was doing. They got mad and poisoned her. I couldn’t believe that Godric Gryffindor would do that. I saw him in a different light since then.” “And I thought you had an easy life.” Draco replied. “I still don’t believe your good. And you can’t have your kids, they’re mine!” Ginny stated plainly. “I had no plan of taking them. I was just visiting them. Oh, and congratulations on your wedding,” he said as he strode over to Aqua. “Mommy, who is he?” she asked. “He’s your um…um..” “Father,” Tom said. “Oh, I get it.” Aqua said. And she really did. Tom picked her up and hugged her before releasing her. Ginny stood there. *He can’t become good that fast. There is no way I’m believing him.* “Is there any chance I can stay here until I get my name cleared?” Tom asked. “Oh, sure. You can sleep in my bedroom and I’ll bunk with Ginny.” Draco offered. Ginny was about to argue but Draco silenced her by placing his hand on hers and squeezing it gently. Thus came the events. **Okay, I know this was short but I just wanted this chappie to be tom’s revelation.
