I don't own any of this... wish I could say I was J.K. Rowling's but I'm not. I only own my idea...
Chapter 6
Previously on Born to Live for a Lost Love:
Ginny opened the box, inside was a pair of silver pair of snake earrings, with little emeralds for the eyes. She ran her finger over one of the earrings and it hissed softly to her, "Welcome back Mistress."
Being the only two, to arrive in the Common room was Draco and Pansy. Both stood in shock at what they just saw. Draco knew something was different about Ginerva Weasley. Pansy's jaw dropped, she couldn't believe that this ex-Gryffindor opened the power.
Ginny on the other hand was confused, "Back?"
"Yes Mistress, we can feel our Goddess' soul and power in you."
Ginny thought about how that made since. She assumed the Goddess who left these earrings was Artemis. "I understand. What power is it that you possess that I opened? I thought Artemis gave me all her powers."
"Well that Mistress we can not tell you. You must learn that on your own. You will be able to use some of the powers we possess, but not all 'til you find your love. Then and only then will you fully attain your full power." With that said, the snakes went silent. Then rose off of the velvet-lined box, and onto Ginny's ears.
Draco watched as Ginny touched the earrings, believing nothing would happen as every time before. Ready to take the box back and put it back in the glass case, Draco was shocked when he heard hissing come from the box. He stumbled back from the shock She opened the power! How? Then he swore he heard her hiss back, but it was so short he thought he heard wrong. Draco was dumbfounded when she started speaking Parseltongue. How could this, girl? No she wasn't a girl anymore… How could she open 'the power!' What was the power anyways? Was it the ability to speak Parselmouth? For some reason he highly doubted it was. When Draco was sure nothing could shock him anymore, he saw the earrings float on their own accord onto Ginny's ears.
"How?" he heard Pansy whisper.
"I'm not sure. Didn't you hear them?
No she didn't hear them you spoke Parseltongue, Ginny. Angele informed.
Oh… do you know what power these earrings will give me?
"No, you spoke Parseltongue. Was that the power they gave you?" Pansy asked in awe.
Sounds like a good reason Ginny, use it. And yes I know, and no I can't tell you.
"Yes, but I didn't know that at first," she noticed Draco didn't looked convinced.
"So, what did they say?" Draco asked trying to find a flaw in her reasoning.
"They welcomed me. I said thanks. They said the Goddess told them I'd come. I asked them what the power was, and they said the power was to talk to them and their brethrens." Ginny said, though she was sure she didn't have control over what she just said.
It sounds plausible, but there's still something missing from her story… I know it! Draco thought.
"Well," Pansy piped in, "that's cool and all, but I'm tired, Ginny I'll show you to our dorm. Night Draco."
"Alright. Goodnight Draco," Ginny smiled and turned to follow Pansy out.
"Night Pansy, Goodnight Ginny," he called as he walked to his dorm.
Ginny and Pansy walked down the hall that led to the dorm room. Ginny expected the room to look like the one's in Gryffindor tower, but they weren't. There were only two beds; Pansy explained that they only had two people in a room. The floors were marble as well as everything in the Slytherin common room. The walls weren't the same green as the walls in the common room, but they were silver, with a green ceiling boarder. The biggest difference was these rooms had two rooms to them. One was a little common room, and the other was the bedroom, and adjoined to the bedroom was a bathroom.
"This is so cool, this is so much better than Gryffindor!" Ginny laughed.
"We'll us Slytherins always do it better!" Pansy smiled. Sitting down on the leather couch that was their common room, they talked about the differences and similarities, which were small.
"Pansy, can I ask you a question?" Ginny asked.
"You mean other than the one you just asked, sure," Pansy teased.
"Why are you and Draco being so nice to me?"
"Well I'm not exactly sure why Draco is, but I honestly never had a problem with you other than you were a Gryffindor, it's the Dream Team I have a problem with. Mostly Hermione, but never had a problem with you. Now that you're in Slytherin, there's no need to be 'enemies' now right."
"Right."
"We'll Gin, I'm beat lets go to bed. We can talk tomorrow alright."
"Sure."
Neither Ginny nor Draco slept well that night. Ginny, because so much has happened to her in such a short amount of time, and she didn't know what to do. Everything she felt she needed to do was building pressure on her. Not even Angele could calm her nerves. Draco, because he couldn't figure out what was so different about Ginny, and how she opened the power of the earrings. Also he couldn't figure out why he cared to find out in the first place.
"Ginny. Ginny! GINNY! WAKE UP!"
"What? What's wrong Pansy?" Ginny slurred with sleep.
"We have exactly 30 minutes to get down to the Great Hall for breakfast!"
"What?" Ginny jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, to take a shower. Twenty minutes later Ginny came out, and then dashed to her closet. The dress code had changed, they still had to wear their house cloak, but underneath they could wear anything they want. Ginny started to grab her hand-me-down cloths, when Pansy stopped her.
"Ginny, you're a Slytherin now, we help each other. I know you don't need it, but come here." Pansy handed Ginny, a fitted emerald green tank top, with a green plaid schoolgirl skirt. "Wear these."
"Pansy I couldn't… are you sure?"
"Yes now change!"
Ginny changed into them, then added a little eyeliner and mascara. Deciding that she looked good put a little lip-gloss for the final touch, and turned to Pansy, "How do I look?"
"Smashing, now I'm hungry lets go eat!"
In the Great Hall Draco waited for Ginny and Pansy to show up. He and Pansy always waited for each other to eat, why? He couldn't remember anymore but it's just something they did. When the Great Hall door's opened and Pansy walked in. Draco watched the door, waiting for Ginny to come through.
"Her brother wanted to talk to her before she came in here. She's just outside the door." Pansy informed him with amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Why would I want to know that Pansy?" Draco sneered.
"Because you don't understand her, and you want to understand everyone." she pointed out.
"Whatever."
CRASH
Before anyone could register what just happened Draco was up and out the doors.
"Ginny can we talk?"
"Sure Ron, Pansy you go ahead." Ginny told Pansy as she turned to her brother, "So what do you want Ron?"
"Ginny, what were you thinking? Did you know that you were going to be resorted?" Ron asked trying to keep the infamous Weasley temper under control.
"Yes Ron I knew, and I also knew where I was going to be sorted. The Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Slytherin my first year but I told it I couldn't be put there, I told it to put me in Gryffindor."
"You knew! You knew you were going to be sorted into Slytherin and you still did it! Why? How could you do that to me? To the family? Do you know how mum and dad will take this?" Ron raised his voice with every word that left his mouth.
"Yes I knew, its part of the reason I did it. -"
"HERMIONE WAS RIGHT! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! WHY WOULD YOU WILLINGLY BE SORTED INTO A HOUSE FULL OF DEATH EATERS? SLYTHERINS ARE A BUNCH OF SLIMLY, EVIL, MANIPULATIVE, DEATH EATERS, AND YOU WILLINGLY WENT THERE!"
"RON! SHUT UP! ARH!" Ginny threw her hands in the air ready to walk away when Ron was thrown across the hall… "Ron?"
A/N: I hope you like this chapter everyone. I rewrote the argument between Ginny and Ron a few times and this was the best I could get. The first time I wrote it, Hermione and Harry were there too, but I decided to let it just be Ron. If you have any ideas about what kind of magic the earrings can posses let me know. So far I'm going to have Ginny have telekinesis. If you can think of anything else let me know…
AngeliqueCollins: I hope you like the reactions. It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted Ron's reaction to be, but I hope it works well.
Fallen0angel15: Was the update soon enough? Hehe… I'm glad you like this story. I can't wait to see what happens next either, ever since the third chapter everything's just been happening, I tried planning it and when I did, the chapters weren't that good.
sakura-no-hana-hoshi: I'm glad you like my story, thanks for your review. You're new to this and I thank you for reviewing means bunches to me!
The Pendulam Swings: I'm honored that you think my story is am amazing piece of writing. It makes me feel like I'm doing well. I'm glad you love it; I'm loving it too. Thank you for all the reviews; I'm not sure how to change the first few. I really need a beta, but I refuse to stop writing 'til I get a beta.
Girl Without a Life: I guess so, I just figured Ginny's had so much happen lately that she really wasn't shocked anymore. It's what I was going for… I hope you like this chapter!
natalie: I'm not exactly sure what all the earrings are going to help Ginny do, but right now she has telekinesis. Later she might get the ability to read peoples minds, but I'm not sure maybe manipulate particles, but I won't know 'til the time comes.
OHLuver: I'm glad you liked how Ron acted. I hope you still like it. I know I've read a few where Ginny's sorted into Slytherin and Ron yells. I kinda like the idea of him yelling as you can see in this chapter, but I also wanted something different. Hope you enjoyed it. I've always pictured her as a Slytherin as well. But I thought about keeping her in Gryffindor and she would be like, if I was in Slytherin everyone would expect me to do it, but here I'm innocent Ginny Weasley, but I went with Slytherin, it just works better.
Please Review, it keeps my mind in working mode, and let me know what's going through your minds... Good, bad, indifferent. I'm thinking about holding the next chapter hostage until I get 35 reviews. I don't want to, but I'm seriously contemplating it. I wont do it this time, because I got up to 26 reviews last chapter… maybe next chapter if I don't get a lot of reviews. The reviews keep my mind working and functioning. Boost's my ego a bit… well review your thoughts…
