Prologue
I was running away from my worst fear. Down this long narrow hallway that never ends. I've been running away from him since my first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His name was Tom Riddle or known mostly as Lord Voldemort (he-who-must-not-be-named). And who am I you ask? I'm Ginny Weasley of course...
Chapter 1
Back To Hogwarts!
I woke up with cold sweat running down my face, it was two o'clock in the morning. I had the same dream I have every night or should I say nightmare.
Today I would be heading back to Hogwarts for my 6th year. The boy-who-lived and his two best friends would not be back this year because they were searching for the Horcruxes. I would be alone this year without them. We will also have Professor McGonagall as headmistress. I finally dosed back to sleep.
"Ginny!" Mum yelled. I woke up startled. I walked down the lonely hallway. I was the only child left here and it has been a very boring summer. "Morning Mum." "Morning, Ginny are you sure you want to go back to school?" She always asked this, because she is worried that something bad would happen at Hogwarts now that Dumbledore was gone. "Mum I'll be fine, if anything bad happens I'll come right home." "Ok." She sighed.
I finished eating, than headed upstairs to get ready for the long train ride and the long school year.
" Bye Ginny dear." Molly said. "Bye Mum." I said. "Behave and have a good year." "I will dad." I gave each of them a hug and boarded the train. I sat with Luna, and Neville for most of the train ride, but in the middle of the ride a girl walked in. "Oh! Sorry I didn't see you guys in here." She started to leave. "Hey, don't leave, sit down." I said. "Oh, thank you!" She said sitting down. "I'm Ginny Weasley. This is Neville and Luna." I said. "I'm Keira Black." And a Black she looked like. She looked like Sirius little sister with the black hair and blue eyes. "Where are you from?" Luna asked. "I've lived in England my whole life, but with my uncle Sirius on the loose I was kept hidden so they didn't ask any questions to where he was." She answered. "Sirius was a good person." I said. "Yeah he was, how did you know him?" "My friend Harry Potter was his godson so we stayed Sirius house over the summer before he passed away." "I see." "Are you a traitor like the rest of the Blacks?" Luna asked. "Luna-" I was cut off by Keira. "Oh its fine, no I would never take the Dark Mark." Keira said. "Welcome to the gang." Neville said. She smiled.
