Chapter 10

Possessed

It was getting late, and Ron and Harry were re-entering Hogwarts with everybody else, Draco and Hermione seemed nowhere to be found.

"Harry, it's getting late…and, and I think whatever stalker you have is coming really soon!" Ron squeaked, clenching his wand too tightly inside his pocket.

"O calm down Ron, it was probably just a prank from Zonko's."

"Not this time Harry, I've never seen that before!"

"Maybe it's new Ron, just calm down!" But that didn't stop Ron from swishing his head to look at the sides of every wall, through every spare hall, or looking behind him every split second.

"Corollarium." Harry said, telling the Fat Lady the password.

But the Fat Lady was asleep.

"O for Merlin's sake, open the door you obese mass of fat!" Ron yelled, that woke her up, she glared her eyes at Ron and snarled, swinging open the door.

"See Ron, nothing's here." Harry assured Ron, although not proving anything. The dormitory was empty when they entered it, for everyone was downstairs in the Great Hall eating and working on homework.

"I'm going down to the Great Hall before something kills us, meet me down there soon ok Harry?" Ron hesitated.

"Go ahead Ron, I'll get there." Harry said, moving aside the question.

"Ok." Ron opened the door and began running through the commons and out the door. Harry snickered to himself.

What a worrywart Harry chuckled to himself. He began cleaning up around his bed, folding his dirty clothes to put in the bag to wash later the next day. He hummed a little song, not noticing the door creaking open. Footsteps began approaching him, he didn't turn, until a firm grip grasped his shoulder. He stopped, and turned around, dropping his folded socks to the ground.

"G-Ginny?"

Ginny Weasley, the youngest of the Weasley family stood before him, standing stalk still, her face a pale white, and her hair more electrifyingly red then ever.

"Ginny, are you all right?"

Without replying, Ginny's eyes began glowing redder and redder, nearly blinding Harry.

Her hair began flying upwards; she folded her fingers into a fist, and punched Harry, her strength and firmness shocking him, he hadn't suspected the blow, he knew she was possessed; he didn't want to hurt her, he staid still and unmoving.

"What's going on? Ginny!" Harry yelled, he hit the wall, his ankle was throbbing, and he could barely see Ginny rushing towards him to kick him, slowly and cruelly, he shrunk into a ball on the ground, at the edge of unconsciousness. Finally, Ginny raised her arm, a wand in hand.

"Torqueo!" she yelled. Harry began twitching non-stop, his eyes nearly closed. Ginny screamed, her eyes flashing red, then hazel, then purple, and then green, it kept on changing, changing into every color in the world. Finally, her arm was jolting, the power of the curse shooting at Harry was getting too strong, her arm finally gave and fell to her side, and the curse stopped, her eyes returned to her natural state, and she fell to the ground, her wand splintering into thin strips, a red Ruby in the center lay on the ground covered in shreds of wood, it sparkled and glittered, then finally turned clear, no color even reflecting off of it.

The two lay unconscious, lying on the ground, their knees bent, their arms close together, their bodies creating the shape…of a heart.
