Ginny woke up groaning, it had been two months since she moved up a year and so far had been great.

However, things weren't going so well with her Mother, she found out about her Mother being a ex Death Eater.

They had a huge argument, her Mother wanted her to spy on the trio but Ginny didn't want to.

She didn't dare tell her Mother that she was friends with Hermione, Harry and Ron, she would go even more ballistic.

Ginny couldn't believe that her Mother was a Death Eater, she had never known and that man was suppose to be a monster.

The argument ended with Ginny shredding her Mother's last letter and telling Screech not to give her any letters for the next month.

Ginny didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the day, her friends kept asking her what was wrong but what could she say, her Mother was an ex Death Eater who wanted her to spy on Harry, Hermione and Ron.

Of course not, she loved her Mother, she couldn't tell anyone otherwise her Mother might be taken to Azkaban.

Suddenly Ginny thought, what about her Father, did he know her Mother was a Death Eater, was he a Death Eater as well.

What about her Uncle Lucius and Aunty Nacrissa, did they know, or were they even Death Eaters themselves.

Ginny shook her head, she had to think of something else, she would talk to her Father, there was no way she was going to talk to her Mother.

At breakfast, Harry and Hermione noticed Ginny was very distant again, they were starting to get worried.

"Ginny are you ok?" Hermione asked, Ginny looked up from her plate as she continued to poke her fork at her food.

"Fine, I was just thinking" she said and began to eat the mutilated food which she had spent the last ten minutes jabbing at with her fork.

"Are you sure?, you are starting to get pale, you don't look very well, maybe you should go to the hospital wing" Harry suggested looking unconvinced.

Ginny sighed "I'm fine, I don't need to see her" she said before standing up and heading to her first lesson.

She slightly cursed when she almost stopped for a moment as the tug grew, shaking her head, she carried on walking.

She went out to the grounds and headed to Herbolagy for her first lesson, she smiled when she saw Neville.

"Hey Ginny" he called as he waved at her, "hey Neville" Ginny greeted once she was close to him.

"I can't wait, Professor Sprout said we were looking at a new plant today" he said excitedly, Ginny smiled, Herbolagy was Neville's favourite lesson.

After a few minutes Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived outside the greenhouse, Ginny rolled her eyes at the concerned expression on Harry's face.

At lunch, another letter had been sent to Ginny, she petted Screech and new it wasn't her Mother otherwise Screech wouldn't have given it to her, she read the envelope.

Ginny, (open when you are alone)

She instantly recognised her Father's writing and put the letter in her pocket before continuing her lunch.

"Everything ok?" Harry asked looking over at her, still concerned, she nodded and smiled at him.

"Harry mate, we are against Slytherin for quidditch next week, hope our house wins" Ron said enthusiastically.

Ginny snorted with laughter "oh come on, no offense to my cousin or anything but with Draco as seeker, there is no way Slytherin would win" she said.

Harry beamed "Think I'm that good then?" he asked grinning causing Ginny to laugh more as she shook her head.

"No, I just know Draco is that bad" she said, Harry pouted which just made her laugh even more.

Ginny ran into her dorm and sat on her bed as she opened the letter from her Father now that she was alone.

Ginny,

Your Mother has told me what happened, please dear don't judge us untill

you hear what we have to say, take out your two way mirror at eleven o'clock tonight and make sure you are alone.

Father

Ginny sighed, she couldn't ignore her father, she loved him too much, she put the letter in her trunk and went to charms quickly.

At dinner, Dumbledore stood up at the teacher's table and got everyone's attention.

"As some of you already know, there has been a lot of complaints from all the houses about our Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, as a result, we had to let him go, for the next four months, the class will be cancelled, however, next year there will be extra Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons" he said.

Sudden cheering could be heard through the great hall, Ginny looked up and saw Harry beam at her, she smiled back and felt a lurch in her stomach.

She looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Daphne and Pansy giving her thumbs up and cheering, Draco was smiling.

"This is brilliant, nice one Ginny, this has to do with that lesson" Ron said patting her on the back.

Even Hermione looked happy, for the first few months she had a crush on Lockheart but it soon wore off.

Later that night Ginny closed the curtains of her bed and sat cross legged as she looked into her mirror.

She looked at the time and saw that it was 10:58, she quickly placed a silencing charm on her bed in case.

She wondered what her Father would say, was he going to be angry at how she acted or was he going to be ok with it.

She looked eagily and nervously into the mirror as it began to show an image, she saw her Father sitting in what looked like his office, he looked sad.

"Ginny, honey, please don't think of us as bad people, your Mother wasn't thinking straight" he said in a pleading voice.

Ginny's anger suddenly faded as she heard her Father's plea "were you a Death Eater?" she asked trying to calm her voice.

She felt tears prickle at her eyes when he nodded "why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

Her Father sighed "it's not something we are proud of, it was dark times and we didn't know how truly evil and nasty he was, we knew that he wanted power, just not the extent in which he wanted it, we knew you would be ashamed" he said.

"Then why did you ever become one?" she asked, she could tell it was hard for her Father to tell her.

"It was too late, we were young and he threatened everyone that we loved, we tried to leave but we couldn't, then he vanished and we saw new hope, your Mother only wanted you to tell her about your friends because she wanted to know how he was able to destroy that horrid man" he said.

Ginny felt her tears roll down her cheeks as she took in what her Father was saying and the hurt look on his face.

"Ok Father, I believe you, I am so sorry I jumped to conclusions about it" she said as she began to fully cry.

Her Father made soothing sounds "its ok darling, we are sorry we never told you, know how is your classes coming?" he asked.

"there great, it's strange though, it's like I just know everything before we learn it" she said unsure.

Her Father beamed "like I have said since you were a baby Ginny, you have always been special and this proves it" he said.

"I have to go now, go straight to bed dear, its late" he said before saying goodbye before his imaged dissapeared from thew mirror.

Ginny wipped her eyes and put down the mirror, how could she have been thinking such bad things about her family.

She loved them, to her, there was nothing she would change about them, yawning, she climbed under her covers and fell asleep.

Rudolf Lestrange put the mirror down and closed his book before getting up from his desk and walking out of his study.

He continued to the dinning room and smiled as he saw his wife, he walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist.

She turned around in his embrace and smiled as she put her hand on his cheek "well?" she asked.

Rudolf leaned down and kissed her "I have just spoken to her, I told her that we didn't know what Voldermort was like and that we are happy that he is gone" he said.

Bellatrix smirked "more importantly, did she believe you?" she asked leaning up to kiss him again.

When they broke apart, Rudolf's smirk grew "of course, she believed every word and I have news on her progress, everything is going to plan, she knows things before learning" he said smugly.

"Good, the little brat is influenced Screecher into not sending her any of my letters, I knew that it was a bad thing when he answered to her when she called him 'Screech' instead of Screecher and he began to nuzzle and hoot happily at her" she said.

Rudolf scowled at the memory but shook his head "remember we must continue with the mission, our master can not be gone forever" he said.

"Excelent, when he returns, she will only know our way and when she is old enough, her powers will be so great, even that old fool Dumbledore would be no match" she said.

Rudolf chuckled and leaned down to kiss his wife again, everything was going perfect.
