Ginny Weasley sat in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place in early June, just after her fifth year. She was sipping a cup of tea, and nibbling at a plate of toast, when she heard footsteps. Not making a sound, she left her dishes, and drew a wand and a dagger, slipping behind the swinging kitchen door. As the steps drew closer, Ginny controlled her breathing, and crouched slightly, ready to attack or defend. The door swung open, and a blonde walked in, instantly, Ginny held him with her wand at the middle of his back and her dagger at his throat, though she only came up to his shoulder. "Identify yourself, and tell me why you're here," Ginny hissed.

The blonde froze entirely. Without moving anything but his lips, he replied calmly in a coaxing manner, "My name is Draco Malfoy. Professor Dumbledore brought me here for safety in exchange for a testimony against my father."

Only sheathing her dagger, Ginny ordered, "Face me." Malfoy did so, and was shocked to see the identity of his assailant. "Do you know the address of where we are, Malfoy?" Ginny questioned.

Shaking his head, Malfoy smirked, "No, Weasel, I don't; but if you're here, your brother is here. If Weaselby is here, then Mudblood and Potter aren't far away."

Ginny hissed, "Wakimoduli!" a jet of blue and yellow swirled light shot from her wand, and hit Malfoy, he glowed a white, then a green, and then a silver streaked with brown. "Fine, don't expect me to enjoy having you here. Oh, and just so you know, neither my Ronald nor his friends are here. They decided they would have their own adventures this summer, and as they are all seventeen or their guardian not present, the adults here were unable to find any way to permanently prevent them from leaving in time." Ginny flicked her wand at her plate and tea cup before striding out of the door and right into Mad Eye Moody's chest.

The wooden legged auror had his wand on Malfoy, and he yelled, "Accio wand!" The wand didn't make an appearance, and Moody grunted, "Accio wand!" Ginny's wand flew from her pocket, and she reflexively yanked it out of the air. Good eye widening, Moody bound Ginny with cords, emptied her pockets, eye growing wider the entire time, and finally grunted at Malfoy, "Boy, come with me. You'll need to witness to all the things that just came out of her pockets."

The three went upstairs, Malfoy leading, by Moody's instruction, and Ginny being floated behind him with Moody in the rear. In the drawing room, Dumbledore was quietly conferring with Snape, and both men stood as the party entered. Dumbledore frowned, and asked, "You found the source of the Dark Magic, I take it, Alastor?"

Moody levitated Ginny forward, and the Headmaster and Snape both showed shock in their own ways. Snape raised an eyebrow, while Dumbledore's eyes widened. Moody said, "I accioed Malfoy's wand, and nothing came, so I accioed the wand that cast the spell, and Ginny's flew out of her pocket. She caught it on the way to my hand, and then I searched her. Take a look, and this is just her pockets. Imagine what we'll find in her room, Albus."

As Dumbledore and Snape examined the evidence with Malfoy looking over their shoulders, the headmaster asked, "Ginny, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"Ask Snape how evil the Dark Items you see there are, when there is no dark intent behind their use. Then ask Moody why they are considered Dark. If you're still not satisfied after that, I'll let you poke around my head." Ginny nearly spat.

Even though Malfoy and Snape were shocked, Dumbledore did as Ginny asked. Snape's reply was, "Nothing Dark but the Unforgiveables is actually Dark Magic unless the intent is Dark. Many a warlock or hag has been released on charges due to that, so long as they could prove the intent with which the Dark Items or spells were used."

After Moody was asked, he admitted that the items had only been banned because the large majority of the time they were used was for ill purpose. Looking at Ginny sadly, Dumbledore inquired, "How much may I look at, to see that we are safe in assuming these were used with only good intent?"

Ginny locked eyes with Dumbledore and pulled him into her mind, and then lowered all her barriers. Barely seconds later, Dumbledore fell to his knees, and broke the contact. "You can see why I allow no one in, Professor. Are you content that I didn't use my 'rare' artifacts with ill intent?"

"More than reassured. Alastor, let her go." Even though Dumbledore ordered it, Moody didn't release his young captives bonds.

The auror frowned, "Professor, I have to see for myself."

Ginny did a bridge in mid-air, though the ropes turned her extremities purple, and she locked eyes with Moody, doing the same as she had with Dumbldore. The results were immediate. The auror fainted dead away, and as he did, the bonds on Ginny fell away. Landing in a crouch, Ginny immediately felt for a pulse on Moody's body, and found none. Entirely forgetting the people in the room, Ginny sat on the floor cross legged at Moody's head, and touched her first two fingers to Moody's temples on either side. Rubbing gently, Ginny applied slight pressure, and concentrated. Her hands began to glow, and Moody began to breathe again. Soon, it looked as if he were merely asleep.

Ginny sat back slightly, after removing her fingers. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and instinctively she flipped them over next to Moody. "Oh, I'm sorry Professor. I get a bit antsy after a healing like that. He'll need to go to St. Mungo's, to deal with the trauma you know."

Dumbledore brushed himself off, and looked at Ginny in wonder. "Given your past my dear, I think it might be best if you became a field agent for the Order. Your mother can't exactly object, since legally you are of age."

Immediately, Ginny replied, "Only if I can two time Tom. He picked the wrong person to double cross, and I will make sure he regrets it."

Snape and Dumbledore drew back in shock, due to the fact that they both knew what ordeal she was referencing. Malfoy however, spat, "Oh, and you could fool the Dark Lord, Weasley? There's a laugh, some little girl thinks she can take on the very man who came back from death?"

"Malfoy, would you care to know how personally this is my war? Would you even dare question my right to fight, even from the other side? I have more right to be in this war then The Boy Who Lived to Get His Name in the Papers!" Ginny hissed, "Moody had a heart attack from post-traumatic stress disorder, and I just had to muck around in his brain enough to get it started back up. Do you realize that Voldemort possessed me, and used me for a year; and then took my life to embody his soul fragment? Do you know how many people's lives I saw taken after being tortured? Have you ever killed a living, breathing, awake, talking human being? Have you ever half woken up from sleep, just to realize that you can't control your body as it slits its own arm open and uses its own blood to write on walls? Were you ever tortured to within an centimeter of your life, repeatedly? Daily? Hourly? Forced to die for something you don't believe in simply because you wrote a few paragraphs about yourself on a page in a diary?"
