A/N: Please forgive my lack of update, busy busy weekend, I am also working on two other fics, so please please read the next one I post and enjoy this one :)


Hermione Jean Granger was not someone who would make deals with the Death Eaters and their Lord. In fact, she would rather hex them straight into the pits of hell and into Lucifer's waiting hand. But the events of this morning had completely changed her mind.

Ginny Weasely was truly a forced to be reckoned with and she was going dark quickly. If she were to be stopped, if Hermione was to convince Harry, Ron and the rest of the Order then she would have to prove that Ginny was one of them.

Hermione had convinced herself somewhere in her uppity Gryffindor mind that she was justified in what she was doing. Ginny was already partially dark, so what was a little push, a little frame of mind? That was why Hermione Granger was meeting Theodore Nott in the Astronomy Tower.

Where Hermione had gotten her sources that he was among the ranks of the Dark Lords services was beyond Theodore. What wasn't beyond him was how much hatred she had towards Ginny. It was thrilling and sexy to see the young witch use her power on those two weaklings, a thought that turned him on more than most.

He was also aware that Ginny was still carefully neutral, not yet choosing a side. As her new powers opened up, they would either lighten or darken her. Theo was more than willing to lead her to the Dark, and with her snap of temper this morning had given Hermione Granger the weapon to pin her as dark.

It fell straight into Theo's hands.

He smirked as he noticed Hermione had her wand ready, as any good noble Gryffindor would when facing an enemy such as this. Her brown eyes found his blue eyes, and she gave him a weary look.

"No funny business, Nott. I'm here just to make a deal."

Hands came up in a gesture that showed he had no wand and was ready to listen. "Likewise Granger; I believe it is you who is aiming the wand at me."

He saw the blush rise to her cheeks; saw how flustered she had become from just that simple observance. He shook his head, if Ginny didn't kill her first, Voldermort would crush her with his finger. She was weak.

"What is it you want?"

Hermione took a deep breath, then huffed out. "I'm sure you saw the little escapade in the Great Hall this morning."

Theo raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"She nearly killed her brother and former boyfriend. She obviously is not light like we are. She must be destroyed." Her eyes looked back at Theo. "Turn her into one of you."

It was the cold laugh that erupted from him that made her shiver. His body was visibly shaking, before he calmed down.

"Granger, do you realize that in by asking me to do that, you are asking me to hand of the one person the Dark Lord wants more than Potter himself?"

"Well yes but-'

"Silly girl, do you also realize that if you don't defeat Ginny before Voldermort claims her, all of your lives will be destroyed. Ginny can be ally or enemy. You forcing her to be your enemy very well could be the end of you."

"I KNOW! I won't let her harm Ron again, or Harry. This is the only way I can help Harry-"

It was as if a light-bulb clicked into place. "You were the one that caused Harry to break up with Ginny in the first place. How very Slytherin of you."

Hermione blushed. "I did. Harry didn't need her. I've always been by his side. So one night-"

"You slept with both of them. Potter, in all his Gryffindor shame dumped her."

Hermione looked down at her toes and Theo gave a malicious grin.

"You sure you want this Granger? I'll turn her over to us, but once I do, and my Lord discovers her, you would have twenty four hours or less."

"Yes I do."

"If you're sure. I won't back out on this Hermione, and it could mean the end of your life."

Theo reached out his hand, and Hermione carefully took it. When they shook, Hermione got the feeling that she had just signed over her life.

"I will let you know when it is done then. You'll hear about it. Careful Hermione, the pretty little head may just come off one day. One more thing, Ginny is under my protection until I notify you. You or your friends go near her, and I will kill you."

With that, Theodore Nott left Hermione Jean Granger completely frozen and shaking in the astronomy tower.


Fred and George Weasely were lying in their flat above the shop; Fred's head resting on George's chest when the owl from Ron and Mum flew in. Disgruntled that their evening cuddle session had been interrupted; they hesitantly, slowly moved to retrieve the letter.

George's eyes went to his twins, when he read the letter out loud. Ginny hadn't snapped, and they knew it. Harry and Ron had done something, had got her to snap her control.

"You know what this means, brother mine. It means someone is teaching our dear Ginny." George said, softly.

Fred nodded. "I say we help them then. Ginny is a fire cracker as it is. As her powers grow-"

"It will harder to keep her in line." George agreed.

The connection between Fred and George had always been there, as is common with someone you share the womb with. When they left Hogwarts, they had discovered that it was far deeper than just a sibling connection. Their love for each other ran far deeper and more purely then any females they ever had. Granted, they still shared their females, but they preferred to be together mostly.

It was a humming thread of life that stretched between them, and it had been Snape that had taught them of their soul Personalities, their powers as soul mates, and as twins. The magical world would not know would hit them, if George and Fred decided to unleash their power.

Fred began packing up some clothes and his twin didn't have to say anything to understand the implication.

Someone was going to have to watch over their Sister Love, and someone would stay here. Ginny had always been closer to Fred, had always learned the best under him. George sometimes wished that Fred was just another guy, if only so Fred and he could be public.

Those blues raked over the other man's body. Then again, he wouldn't trade this bond, this Love for the world.

"When do you plan on leaving, Gred?" He asked.

"I don't know Forge, as soon as possible." Fred said, turning to see the warmth and longing in his brothers eyes.

George closed the gap between them. "Be careful then, that castle is teeming with enemies and evils. I won't live if I lose you."

"I won't breath if I lose you, but neither of us will be alive or breath well if something happens to out little firecracker. If she goes dark we die, if she dies…"

"We die." George finished, cupping his brothers face in his hands.

"Before you go, make love to me." George requested.

Fred didn't answer, just bent his head and kissed George with everything he had. Plans and plots were being made around them, and all they had was this moment….
