Ginny laid on the couch reading her book, entirely alone in the massive room. Well, massive compared to the Burrow, anyway, and that wasn't really saying that much. She put her book down when she heard a low rustling noise. It sounded as though there were some small animal very intently crawling about, but when she looked around the room she couldn't see anything of the sort.

After a couple minutes of wondering, her eyes fell onto the curtains which covered the Black family tapestry. They were undulating very slightly in one particular spot. She carefully walked over to the wall, grabbed one curtain in each hand, and pulled them apart to reveal the tapestry. Before she quite realised what she was looking at, she inhaled sharply, holding her breath in an appalled gasp. Once she did realise, she blinked rapidly, trying to see if it would change, to no avail. She turned and bolted from the room, rushing to Hermione's bedroom and dragging her back with her.

"Ginny! Ginny!" Hermione demanded in a vain attempt to free her arm from Ginny's grasp. Ginny did not answer her. They stopped abruptly in the doorway.

"Ginny? What are we doing?"

Ginny took a deep breath and sighed shakily.

"Remember that conversation we had with Ron? When he said he thought he might be gay?"

"Yes, but how-"

"Well, he is."

"How do you know that for certain, though, Ginny?"

Ginny speechlessly walked forward into the room, proceeding over to the wall. Hermione followed her a moment later, looking at the distressed Ginny rather than at the tapestry in front of them.

"Right here," Ginny said, barely managing a whisper as she pointed to the marriage line that extended from Draco Malfoy's name on the tree. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other in disbelief. Malfoy's name was linked with the name Ronald Bilius Weasley.
