PROLOGUE

A girl woke up in a heap on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets. Her flowing, straight, brown hair was matted out across the damp, dirty floor. She sat up at once.

"What am I doing here!" She cried, I look of shock and fright flashed across her features.

She moved her hair out of her face, and she tried in vain to clean off her robes. She heard a sound to her left. She turned toward the source, standing and getting into a defensive stance.

"Whoever you are, show yourself!" She cried, trying to hide her fear.

A man stepped out of the shadows. His thick black hair falling, messily into his face. As he moved forward, the dim light caught his eyes, and they gleamed a deep red.
His emerald green robes, swished as he walked. His skin was very pale, and on his forearm was a snake coiling down his arm. His long, pale fingers were gripping a wand pointed in her direction. Her eyes widened as he spoke.

"Crucio." He said in a cold voice that practically hissed.

A black light burst from his wand, and everything went out of focus as the girls tortured screams echoed throughout the chamber...

And so, Ginny Weasley awoke from her deep slumber...


"No, no!" Ginny was screaming as she woke up kicking and clawing at her blankets. Only when her nails hit flesh did she calm down long enough to realize that Fred, George, Ron and Harry were holding her down.

"Gin, Gin! It's alright, calm down." George yelled.

Ginny stopped thrashing, but was still shaking with her arms wrapped around herself, breathing heavily.

"Merlin, Gin… what happened?" Fred asked, panting a little himself.

"What do you mean, 'what happened'?" Ron yelled at his brother. "She was screaming at the top of her lungs!" Ron put his arms around Ginny in what was supposed to be a comforting embrace. But she yelped, and pushed him away, practically falling off the bed in the process. She looked at him with wide, scared eyes.

Ron backed up with his hands in the air.

"Alright, don't want to be touched."

"P-" Ginny stuttered. "P-please l-leave." She whimpered.

"Alright, Gin." Harry answered, nodding to the Weasley boys who were on the verge of protesting. They all walked out the door, Harry walked out last. He glanced back to Ginny, with a worried look in his eyes. Then he too left and shut the door behind him.

Ginny just lay on her side, thinking about the dream she'd just had. Who was that girl? She knew who the man was. It was Tom. The one who had possessed her in her 1st year at Hogwarts. It was because of him that she was having so much trouble. Everyone was still afraid of her, four years later. Afraid that somehow she would be possessed once more. They believed that since she had been possessed once, that she was evil. Many of the Gryffindors had even taunted her by telling her that maybe she should be in Slytherin. She fell asleep with tears falling down her face.
