In All Cases Whatsoever

"Ginerva!"

Ginny flinched as her husband bellowed.

"Ginerva! Where the hell are you?" He shouted. "We need to be at the Ball now."

"You heard him," She snapped at the Mudblood maid. "Hurry your lazy ass up, you hussy." Having no choice but compliance, the once rebellious woman apologized and finished Ginny's hair in record time. Looking in the mirror, she was both delighted and repulsed by what she saw.

The deep, bloody red silk of her strapless sheath clung to her dangerously skinny body, revealing more chest than it hid. Skin that never saw the sun made her green eyes blaze. Her lips and hair matched the dress perfectly. On her forearm, the same red was inked into her skin; a special Mark, for the Dark Lord's Consort.

"Whore!" She spat at her reflection. Turning to leave, she saw the ill-disguised contempt in Hermione's face. Furious, Ginny backhanded the woman who had been her closest confidante. "Don't you ever look at me that way, you filthy Mudblood slut!"

"Ginerva," Voldemort was suddenly behind her. "Remember, dear, what I said about tardiness?"

She bowed her head, "Yes, Lord Voldemort."

"And who is your master?"

"You are, milord." Ginny was startled when he pushed her to her knees. Grabbing her hair, he forced her to look at him.

"When do I possess you?"

"In all cases, whatsoever."

Voldemort pulled her up by her hair and kissed her passionately. "Good girl. Now. We're late for my Celebration Ball. I know you love to celebrate the day the rebels died."

As they Apparated to the party, Ginny tried to tell herself she didn't enjoy this, that she still believed in the reason she celebrated.

She celebrated because she would never have to see the looks on the faces of Harry and her family when they saw her brought so low. She celebrated their lives. She celebrated her death, her rebirth.

A/N:

The phrase "In all cases whatsoever" was first/most famously used by Britain, just before the American Revolution. British Parliament declared that they had sovereignty over the colonies and were thus able to make decisions for (and tax) them "in all cases whatsoever." The colonists, however, soon made use of the phrase as an example of British tyranny.

And that is your history lesson for the day. Feel free to review, love me, hate me, rave, flame (preferably with reason), point out my errors, my brilliance, etc.
