Once Upon a Time.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters you have seen in the Harry Potter series written by the lovely, creative, talented J.K. Rowling. I own any knew characters my odd little mind wishes to put in; along with the plot.
Chapter1: The Bargaining: A Soul for A Life
'No not again! Please stop.I can't take it anymore.' she pleaded, tears streaming down her delicate, freckled cheeks, as she watched the horror unfold in front of her very eyes.
The tall, figure dropped his wand to his side and faced the petite redhead, laughing as he pasted the crumpled body to his right, advancing towards her.
'Please.' she pleaded 'I-I'll do anything. Just don't hurt him-please don't kill him!'
The laughter grew louder, as if to mock her. Finally a male voice spoke.
'Any why should stop my fun' he said, giving her a cruel smile. Staring at her with his icy, blue eyes he continued. 'Why after-from what you have told me-should I stop at what has defeated my future self?'
'Because I love him!' she shouted. With all of her strength, she pulled herself from the floor of the chamber.
A cruel, meniching laugh erupted from him, sending chills up her spine.
'So you are telling me that I should spare his life, just for your love for him? What would you give me in return?' he asked simply, calmly as though this was just a game to him. That a person's life is nothing more than the dirt beneath his feet.
'Name you price,' she said in defeat 'I do not care what it is, just let him live.'
'Is he worth it?' he asked innocently ' is Harry Potter worth it, Virginia?'
She took a look at the blood protruding from above his left brow. He was knocked unconscious. She couldn't bare the sight of his mangled body, crumpled only a few feet from her. She had made her decision.
'What do you want from me? What every it is.it's.yours' she said, her voice quavering.
'You love him that much.' he said
'Just tell me what you want.' she said angrily. He stood there reflecting for a moment before an evil smile broke onto his boyish face.
'You're soul' he said
'M-my soul!? What could you possibly need with my soul? Why would you want it?' she said franticly, but still holding her ground. Not moving from the position she was in.
He gave a small string of laughter before explaining. 'I will own you. You will be mine.forever.'
'Will I be able to live without my soul? Will I be able to remain with my family?' she asked weakly
'Oh of course, but you will be mine. You will serve me! You will be one of my faithful servants.mine.' he said smiling 'I don't need nor want anything else-well except to kill my future enemy' he added.
She stood there. Was he worth it? she thought..
'Do it.'
Raising his wand, laughing like a lunatic, he practically screamed the incantation.
'Almamio eternamente!'
She screamed as she saw a silver orb withdraw from her torso, the pain unbearable, making her pass out in the process.
She caught a glimpse of Tom Riddle capture her soul in a green bottle, murmuring a spell, before she hit the floor and black out.
It had felt as though, a mere seconds had pasted when she began to stir.
When she noticed Harry in front of her, she began crying hysterical.
Maybe it didn't happen, she thought, maybe Harry killed Riddle and I never bargained my soul.
'It's alright,' said Harry, holding up the diary, and showing her the fang hole.
Oh I hope I didn't, she thought once again.
'Riddle's finished. Look! Him and the basilisk. C'mon, Ginny, let's get out of here-'
She began weeping uncontrollably, saying anything to Harry she could think of. Maybe it's all in my head! I dreamt the whole ordeal, she thought as she stepped out of the Chamber of Secrets.
Her worst fears were answered as she heard those three words that had condemned her life to misery
'You are mine.'
Virginia woke up screaming. 'That same dream! Why is my life replaying before my eyes! Riddle just leave me alone!'
She got up from her four-poster bed in her dormitory, which she shared with four other girls in her year, and went to the bathroom. She wasn't worried that she had woken any of them up. Neither of them had stirred the last 3 times she had awoken from the very same dream. She didn't think it would wake them up now.
She opened the down the girls' bathroom and went in. She ran the coldwater tap and splashed the cool water on her face. She dried her face with a scarlet towel and looked at her reflection in the mirror above the sink.
A girl the age of fifteen-stared back; with honey brown eyes flecked with gold and traces of green and dark auburn hair with a few strands on brown; looking far more worried than any normal fifteen year old should look at this age.
For as you all ready know.she had made a bargaining with the most powerful wizard of the century.
Her soul for his life. But.he didn't even know that her-Ginny Weasley- had saved his life. Hoping for more attention, perhaps to actually be loved in return, but she wasn't good enough for that ungrateful git.
She saved his life - he broke her heart. Fair exchange really, wasn't it?
Well, I hope you don't think so because you may not enjoy this so-called tale.
Virginia Weasley didn't see any decentness or anything impartial about it at all.
But I'm getting off topic - lets get back to the story shall we?
"Why now, Riddle?" she whispered looking away from the mirror. "I fought against you last year at the Department of Mysteries.why are you doing this to me now? Why now then?'
'Because I need you now, Virginia' a voice had said from the back of her mind.
She jumped away from the sink and scanned the bathroom with her eyes. No one. She had to have been hearing things.
'You aren't. I'll be visiting you very, very soon' the same voice had said again. A cold breeze flew into her face, throwing her off balance. The window had to have been opened. She went to go shut it but it wasn't open.
"What do you want from me?" she whispered louder. But nothing happened and the voice didn't answer back.
"I'm going crazy" she said aloud once more "I'm hallucinating."
She had her had on the handle of the bathroom door, when she heard someone breathing heavily by the window.
She tensed up; knowing someone or something was in the room with her. She turned around slowly and saw the window had a mist of what appeared to be dust. Then as though someone was running a finger through the dust a message formed:
YOU ARE MINE
A spasm of terror went through Ginny. She backed up slowly until her back hit the door. She fumbled for the handle clumsily and threw the door open.
She ran up to her dormitory and jumped in her bed. Knowing that it would do no good, she closed the curtains of her four-poster bed and did not sleep the rest of the night.
