Chapter 11: Beautiful Nightmares

"Ginevra you look absolutely gorgeous." said Tom as he nibbled on Ginny's neck.

"What makes you think I did any of this for you Tom?" said Ginny, in disgust.

"Who else? Certainly not that bastard Harry Potter, who can't make your body sing like I can. Come on, Ginevra. I know you inside and out. I was the first. I taught you how to pleasure yourself remember?" he said, taking his hand and sliding it under her knickers.

"Stop it!" cried Ginny as he stuck a finger inside.

"What does he have that I don't?" hissed Tom as he bit hard into Ginny's neck causing her to scream. "He won't even listen to your warnings of me. He doesn't want to hear a word that you say."

"I don't need to talk to him about you." said Ginny, struggling under Tom's touches, fighting the fact that she somewhat felt aroused.

"So you run to Draco Malfoy? Pathetic boy. He could never make you feel how I make you feel."

"Yes he can. Better even! Let go of me!"

"Oh yeah Ginevra? Prove it. Give yourself to him." said Tom, sticking another finger inside of Ginny.

"I...I can't do that! No!"

"You've already given him part of you. Give it all. Let me guide you. Let me show you that no man could ever make you do they things that I can. Come on, Ginevra. You know you want to."

"Noooooo, please!"

"DO IT DAMMIT! DO AS I SAY!" yelled Tom thrusting his fingers painfully hard into Ginny.

Ginny cried out loudly as she snapped out of her dream. She found herself not in her warm bed, but against the wall near Slytherin dungeons. She had no idea how she had gotten there. And no idea why she was just in her bra and underwear.

She felt a slight pain coming from the left side of her neck. She put her hand there and could feel both a cold wetness as well as warm. When she drew her hand back, it had spots of blood on it.

She raced to the path that led to Draco's room and got through. She pounded on his door until he answered.

Draco opened the door, prepared to give whoever was disturbing his slumber a good argument. He was shocked to see an almost naked Ginny crying at his door.

"Ginny what the fuck! Get in here, where the hell are your clothes?!" said Draco as he pulled her into his room and put the robe he had on over her.

"I don't know what happened. I don't know... I think I'm going off the bend... I'm so bloody scared." sobbed Ginny, not able to get her sentences straight.

"Calm down and start from the beginning." said Draco, conjuring up a glass of water and sitting Ginny on his bed.

"I can't..."

"Yes you can. Is it Tom?"

Ginny nodded, holding tight to her glass.

"What happened?" asked Draco calmly.

"He's... He's getting stronger. He's trying to get me to do something that I shouldn't do. He is possessing me again. And I have no idea how." said Ginny, tears falling from her eyes.

"He wants me, Draco. He wants me bad, but how can this be happening when he is only a memory? A destroyed memory?"

Draco sat and thought to himself. 'This must be the power that Voldemort wants. Somehow, Tom Riddle survived Harry stabbing the diary. And if that was the case then that meant…..shit. Fucking shit. Ginny is a fucking horcrux. And Tom Riddle survives in her. Fuck!' thought Draco as he put it all together.

This was more than Draco was ready to deal with. Horcruxes were dangerous and deadly. No telling what could happen to him trying to unleash that power. And what of Ginny? What was to become of her?

"Why do you think you're half naked, Gin?" asked Draco.

"I was like this in the dream. He was talking to me. Kissing on me. Biting- oh shit!"

Ginny put her hand on her neck trying to cover up the still tingling spot on her neck.

Draco moved her hand and his eyes grew big.

There on the side of her neck was teeth marks. Almost fang like. With bits of dried blood and saliva around it.

Draco went to the loo and wet a washcloth. He came back and patted the spot, causing Ginny to wince. He then impulsively kissed the spot. Ginny shuddered at the feeling of Draco's lips on her neck, kissing the tingle and pain of the bite away.

"Draco please...don't." whispered Ginny.

Draco stopped, lifting his head away from her neck. "I'm not going to try anything. You sound like you've been through enough as it is "

"It's not that." said Ginny.

"Then what? Potter?" said Draco annoyed.

"Well yes, but that's not the whole reason. In my dream, Tom mentioned you."

Draco was stunned. "Mentioned me? How the hell does he know about me?"

"I don't know Draco, but he did. He wants me to... he wants me to give myself to you." said Ginny blushing.

"But why?"

"He wants to see if you are better than he is." said Ginny feeling ashamed.

"Woah woah, what do you mean?"

"He wants me to have sex with you, and I don't know why. He keeps saying he wants to show me something. Draco, I'm scared."

"Shhh... it's going to be okay." said Draco pulling Ginny into his chest and wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm scared to sleep. The only time I feel any relief is when I'm around you." said Ginny, making Draco feel like absolute shit.

"You can stay here Gin. Fuck what your brother and Granger have to say about it. And fuck Potter too. You can stay here, come here, whatever. I don't care." said Draco truthfully and sincerely.

Ginny looked up at Draco and managed a smile. Draco pushed the strands of her hair out of her face and tucked them behind her ear.

"WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS GOING ON?!" yelled a voice from Draco's door.

Ginny gasped and Draco looked surprised for a few seconds, but dropped his expression and made it into a smirk.

There, standing at the door with a wand in one hand, and his map in the other, was Harry Potter.

And he looked downright pissed.
