Disclaimer: I own Draco, Ron, and Lucius Malfoy… not! If I owned anything, would I be writing a FAN fiction? Nope. I don't even really own Alex or Cassie, they're based on two girls I know. Though I do own Angelina Michaels.
Ginny suffers through so much in her sixth year, and who's there to help her pick herself up? No one… for now.
Chapter 6: Crossed With Reality

"What are you doing in here?" Draco asked Ginny, looking at her blushing face.
"I was… uh… I was coming in here to…"
"Well?" Draco asked, tossing his hip slightly.
Ginny nearly laughed at the feminine move, "Uhm… I was here to finish what we had started earlier." Ginny answered with more confidence, "I left you for no reason when I really wanted you." She hoped her voice sounded sexy and seducing.
"Really?" Draco asked, no emotion in his voice.
"Really." Ginny confirmed, sitting on her knees on the bed. He looked at her unbelieving, so for him to believe her, she pulled her tank top off to reveal a lace tan bra that was barely noticeable on her tanned skin.
Draco dropped his towel… well, the one in his hand for his hair. She reached around for her bra clasp but Draco's hands stopped her.
"I want you." Ginny said.
"Why are you really here Weasley?" Draco asked softly, temptation in his voice.
"I told you. I want you. I want to have sex with you." She sighed and jokingly asked, "What? Do I have to explain what sex is to you Malfoy?"
He smirked a bit before kissing her. She kissed back with as much heat and passion he was giving, like she was challenging him. He pushed her back on to the bed and started kissing her neck. She arched her back as he kissed and licked a sensitive spot. He took the opportunity to unclasp her bra and pull it off, revealing her breasts.
Her hands reached down for his towel, but he pulled away and said, "Well, Weasley. You're hot, surprisingly. But the fun ends here."
Ginny started, "What?" As she sat up her breasts bounced, getting a small, almost unnoticeable moan from Draco. She growled and put her bra back on, followed by her tank top. She grabbed her leather jacket and said, "You'll regret this Malfoy."
"Why? You're just pissed that I didn't tell you what you want to know."
Ginny stopped, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You want know about the Death Eater activity."
Ginny looked shocked, "How…?"
"Third year in Gryffindor is Millicent Bulstrode's cousin. She's a sorta spy for us."
"Bloody hell." Ginny muttered.
"Yeah, now Floo back to your little Tower and stay the hell away from me." He growled.
She stopped at the fireplace and smirked, "I think I'll go out the portrait." She answered and blew him a kiss. Leaving the room she traveled down the stairs and into the Slytherin Common Room. She shrugged on her leather jacket and pulled her hair out of her jacket. She walked by curious stares and out the portrait. She heard soft moans to the left and went that way. Looking to the right, she saw Angelina and Blaise up against the wall, Angelina's hair messed up, her make up smudged, her top untied and revealing her right breast clad in a red bra, her pants half way unbuttoned.
Ginny walked by and caught Angelina's eyes.
"Uhm…" Angelina said, her eyes rolled up as Blaise teased her neck, "We'll continue this later." She whispered, pulling away she walked towards where Ginny had turned around the corner. She sighed and buttoned her pants and fixed her strap.
"Have a good time?" Ginny asked the tousled Angelina.
She nodded dazedly and said, "Mm-hmm." It was high pitched sorta in her throat.
Ginny smiled and chuckled and turned Angelina around and tied the strings again for her. Then brushed her fingers through her hair, "That good?" Ginny asked.
"Mm-hmm." Angelina groaned out, "Couldn't you've waited another half hour?" Angelina asked, "Wait, what happened? What? Is he a one-minute man?"
"He was ready, only a towel on, but he has a spy in Gryffindor, knew why I was there. I'll have to think up a new strategy."
"I'm in." Angelina said, "Especially if it involves distracting Blaise. Damn he's hard, why'd you have to come out?" Angelina said, "I mean, he has hard abs." She smiled and chuckled as Ginny laughed.

Ginny tapped her quills feather against the book. She mumbled out what the book said and sighed, "This makes absolutely no bloody sense."
Ginny sighed and plopped her head down onto her mountains of books. Shutting her eyes, she fell into a slumber.

"What did we ever do to you?" Charlie asked, as he knelt down on the ground, wand disposed and broken in the grass by him.
"You know what you did. What your whole family did."
"My? They were once yours." Charlie said, wincing as the knife pressed harder against his throat.
"Shut your trap Weasley."
"Let him go!" Ginny screamed.
"He can't hear you. You're just observing, Virginia." The voice taunted as he circled her.
"Why do you do this?" Ginny whispered.
"Say goodbye Charles." The knife slit his throat open. What little blood was left in Charlie, that hadn't drained from the other slashes, slid from his throat.
Blood splattered from his neck on to Ginny's white blouse. She cried silently as he drove the knife repeatedly into Charlie again and again and again.
The scene changed rapidly and Ginny found herself in that field again with him above her, in the white dress. He pressed the knife against her throat and slid it slowly across, starting in the centers. Near her right pulse point, he was shoved off of Ginny. Ginny cried out in relief and looked up at her savior.
"Draco…" She whispered. His long hand came down towards her. He pulled her up and held her in his strong arms.
"C'mon Gin." He said to her, "We're going home."
"Home?"
"Home." He confirmed, "To Malfoy Manor." He told her with a smile before looking over at the limp body that had been tossed off her.
She followed his eyes before looking back up into Draco's. Only, they weren't Draco's anymore. She gasped and gave a strangled cry, shoving herself away… Except now, she was being held back. She let her hair cascade around her face as she looked down at herself. She was wearing the dark red satin strapless dress. She looked up and found Draco's dead and beaten body a few feet from herself.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" She whispered, "The real reason."
The back of a hand collided with her face, "Bitch does not talk directly to me. Let her go." He watched the guards let her go, "Now stay still so I can kill you whore."
Ginny stood slowly, her eyes connecting with his, "If you're going to kill me you sick bastard, do it while looking in my eyes."
"Do it." A voice croaked, "Kill the girl."
"Don't encourage him. If he doesn't have enough courage to kill me, that's a good thing for you, isn't it… Tom?" As she said his name, she looked over at the shrouded figure.
Gasps filled the cavern.
"You dare speak my name, whore?"
"Why not? You let me five years ago. Tom Marvolo Riddle." She said and sighed, "Too bad you turned out to be such a prick, you were Hot, imagine what you'd turn out to be now if evil hadn't consumed you. You probably would've been a better sorcerer than Dumbledore."
"You're very dumb to speak my true name Miss Weasley. Or very brave."
"What? Did you take that from Lucius Malfoy?" Ginny asked remembering Flourish and Blotts in her first year.
She could feel the angry seething off Voldemort, "Kill her." He said after a long pause.
Ginny watched as the knife raised. She closed her eyes and after a few minutes, felt no pain. Nothing. She opened them and was in the dark forest… with her brothers murderer standing in front of her.
"Oh my God." Ginny groaned out, fright underlying her voice, "Oh my God!"
"That's right Virginia, your dreams…" Everything felt realer.
~/
"… Have crossed with reality."
Ginny sucked in a deep breath, "Oh, Shit." She said.

"Where the hell is Ginny?" Angelina shouted in the hallway.
"I saw her heading out to the Forbidden Forest." A voice said from behind her.
Whipping around, Angelina was faced with Blaise, "Thank you." Angelina answered. She turned to run but Blaise caught her by the arm and pulled her around to kiss him. She groaned as she pushed him away, "I would really love to do this. But another time. Ginny's in danger, she's not supposed to go into the Forbidden Forest for so many reasons. Oh God… what if the Death Eaters are waiting…" She turned around and started to run.
"So, you and Angelina Michaels?" Draco Malfoy came out of the shadows, "Her father has been kidnapped by the Death Eaters, your dad was one of the men that kidnapped him. He also suggested it. Fraternizing with the enemies daughter?"
"Like you're any different? I walked into your room the other day and saw through the portal into the library. Got cozy with little Virginia Weasley, ey?"
"Trust me, she ain't that much ova a virgin." Draco snickered.
"Oi, I think Angelina's worried bout your girlfriend. Said she was in danger. Something about Death Eaters…" Blaise shrugged and turned to look at Draco but he was already out the front door, "Oi! Malfoy, wait up!" Blaise shouted, running after him.
Draco ran into the Forbidden Forest followed closely by Blaise. A few dozen feet a head of him, Angelina was running herself trying to find her friend. All three whizzed around trees, through tight spaced ones, and gained various scratches from sharp branches or thorns.
Angelina huffed and wheezed slightly as she stopped for air. Starting up again, it didn't take her long to make it into the clearing where Ginny and him stood.
Angelina stopped dead in her tracks, "Oh my God. Its… you…"
Draco and Blaise ran up behind her and stopped too. Ginny lay on the floor bleeding and crying, he stood above her with a sick happy smile on his demented face.
"Angelina, so darling of you to join us. Draco, Blaise, welcome. Your fathers will be pleased to hear you were in on this."
Angelina turned to look Blaise in the eye. They set downcast, avoiding hers. She turned around and found herself face to face with him. He back handed her to the ground and she backed away slowly, dragging leaves and soil with her.
"Oh my God." She said again, looking into familiar eyes, "You… you." She whispered disbelievingly and scrunched her eyes in confusion.
"Miss me pet?"

I'm so sorry! I thought I had updated yesterday.
Kinda clichéd, I know, but at the time of writing I couldn't think of anything else. The killer is probably really not that much of a surprise and he's exposed in one of the next two chapters. I'll update sometime this weekend.
Oh, sidebar note, Angelina in this fic, is no way the Angelina that plays Quidditch… or did. She's gone and out of school. Definitely not the same Angelina. My Angelina is Angelina Michaels, the JK Angelina is Angelina Johnson. ^__^
Update for ya later!!!
