Chapter 25: Healing Ginny

Ginny Weasley nervously stepped inside the mansion. She had never step a foot outside Britain and after hearing about Mutants, it made her wonder: what kind of people will she meet?

And suddenly, with a smoke, a black boy with a tail appeared out of nowhere. Ginny gasped and hid behind Harry.

"And our broud hero has redurned!" said Kurt.

"Nice to see you to Kurt." smiled Harry. "Kurt? This is Ginny. Ginny, Kurt- Ginny?"

Ginny had hid behind Harry, shivering.

"Is she alright?" asked Kurt.

"Not really. She's gone through some hard time. Just don't do that to her again in a while. Do others know I'm here?" asked Harry.

"I vill go tell zem now. Zorry about zat. It vas pleasure to meet you Ginny." and Kurt disappeared with a pop.

"Don't be afraid Ginny. That's Kurt. He's one of my friend. He's one of the nicest person out there." said Harry.

"Where did he just go?" asked Ginny.

"To tell the other's we're here. His ability is teleportation. Moving from one space to another." said Harry.

"Professor Xavier is waiting for us. This way." said Scott.

"Come in." and the trio stepped inside.

"Charles, we're back." said Hank.

"Indeed. Welcome back. Harry, I'm especially pleased with the result of your latest mission." smiled Professor X. "And you must be Ms Weasley."

Ginny nervously nodded. "Have a seat and we can get to business." said Professor Xavier.

Harry and Ginny took a seat.

"So, firstly introductions. I am Professor Charles Xavier, the Headmaster of Xavier institute for gifted youngsters. Now, Ms Weasley, should I call you that? Or do you have other preference?" asked Professor X.

Ginny mumbled out "Please call me GInny."

"Very well. Now Ginny, has Harry informed you of everything? For instances, who we are and what we are capable of?" asked Professor X.

Ginny slowly nodded. "You can read minds?" asked Ginny.

Professor X chuckled. "That's the short version. Ginny. I would just like to start by saying I am deeply sorry you had to go through such a horrifying experience. No one should have gotten through such experience. While you're staying here, there are couple of things I would like you to remember no matter what. First, none of this is your fault."

"How?" snapped Ginny. "How is this not my fault? I was stupid enough to believe Tom. I went around petrifying people, it's a miracle no one died. The school nearly closed and Harry could have died. How is this not my fault?" Ginny was sobbing when she finished.

"Tell me. Did you want to do any of it?" asked Professor X calmly.

"Huh?" said Ginny.

"Did want to kill any of the students? Did you want the school to be closed? Did you want to have Harry killed?" asked Professor X.

"No." said Ginny.

"I believe you answered your own question. It's not your fault because you never wanted any of it to happen. You were a victim who got used." said Professor X.

Ginny sat on the desk, sobbing quietly. "Now, second thing. Everyone in this institute will help you. Never hesitate to ask for a help when you need it." said Professor X.

Professor X turned to Jean. "Jean, therapy session can start tomorrow. Please take Ginny and her belonging to her room. I believe she'll be staying with Rogue."

"I'll take her belongings to Rogue's room. Come on Ginny let's go." said Jean softly. And Ginny followed the red haired women out.

"One moment please Harry before you leave. There's couple of things I would like to discuss with you and I believe you have something you want to discuss with me." said the Professor.

When Ginny and Jean left the office, the Professor turned to Hank.

"Hank, report on what happened in the chamber?" asked the Professor and Hank gave him a tale about what happened. All the instructors looked impressed and Professor X gave them a smile.

"Now, firstly, I am immensely proud of your accomplishment. That was a very good accomplishment. In fact, you should give me a copy of your memory through Memory catcher." said the Professor.

"And another thing. As I mentioned, Ginny has gotten through a deeply traumatic experience. She has gotten a scar. Not a physical scar, but a deep emotional scar. Even if she gets her normal persona back, there is a chance she will still have that scar." said the Professor. "Everyone in the institute will help her, but I want especially you to help her."

"Not that I don't want to, but why me in particular?" asked Harry.

"Because I remember another young person coming here years ago with a deep emotional scar." said the Professor. Harry nodded, understanding.

"And another thing. Did you bring that diary from the chamber? May I look at it?" asked the Professor and Harry pulled out the destroyed diary from his pocket.

Professor X inspected the diary. "It's faint but it's definitely like that one before." thought the Professor.

"Also Harry. Besides the first reason, I have a feeling that you and Ginny more things in common." said the Professor. "Harry. Do you remember that day when I called you into my office? About two month after you first came here?"

Harry thought for a moment and said "Yes. Wasn't that the day you sent Logan in my head?"

"To destroy something inside your head. Some sort of darkness. But something's odd. You see I just sensed that exact same darkness from the diary." said the Professor.

"What? I'm sorry but I don't understand." said Harry.

"Allow me to explain in detail. There's something very strange about that diary. For instance, I feel like I can pick up few thoughts that are remaining on the diary. Now, I know what you are thinking. My telepathy only works on living thing and how could I pick up a diaries thought? Sure, it's magical but that doesn't mean it's alive. Or does it?" said the Professor.

When Harry still looked puzzled, Professor X continued on. "As I said, I felt the same darkness from that diary and your head. When Logan entered your mind, what he confronted was none other than Voldemort. I have a theory: what if this diary and that thing in your head was part of Voldemort? Like part of his soul?"

"Part of Voldemort's soul?" gasped Harry.

"Yes. What if it was something like part of himself that he managed to break it off and transfer into an object or a person?" said the Professor.

"It does make sense." said Harry. "Voldemort maybe did that so even if somebody kills him, there's a part of him lingering in the world. Shit. Do you think there's more stuff like this?"

"I won't be surprised if it does. But for now, we can not confirm this yet." said the Professor.

"Why? Can't we contact Dr Strange?" asked Harry.

"Baron Mordo has been sighted." replied Professor X. "He won't be back for a long time. Any way, getting bit off topic from what I was going to say. Another reason I want you to help Ginny is because you both have been touched by part of Voldemort. Difference is that you had the effect for far longer than she did. I have a feeling she might possess similar power like you. But fortunately for her, since she was under the influence of the soul for shorter time than you have, it is probably temporary powers."

"Basically, we have something in common that probably no one else in the world has." mumbled Harry. "Ok, Professor. But as I said, I would have helped her anyway. Now, there's something I wanted to ask your thoughts about."

Harry explained about what Riddle said to him in the chamber. "Professor. Could I really be the real Boy-Who-Lived?"

Professor X calmly drank his tea and asked. "The way I see it, there is no difference. If you really were the "Boy-Who-Lived", does it really make difference? Will that change who you are?"

"No. But I just wondered for a moment how different it would have been." said Harry.

"Do not dwell on the what if Harry. Think foreword for now and what will be. Think of this as shooting an arrow. You shot an arrow and that is stuck on a target, unable to move. That's the past. The present is the arrow that is currently going on. You don't know where it will land. The arrow you hold now is the future. It can go anywhere. Focus on the now and the future Harry." said Professor X wisely.

"We have to go down this corridor." said Jean.

Ginny silently walked next to Jean while occasionally looking at things in the mansion.

"Ginny, I know you are skeptical but trust us." said Jean. "Here's your room." and Jean knocked on the door.

Rogue came out and greeted the duo. "Hello. Is this the girl Harry brought?"

"Yes. This is Ginny Weasley. Ginny? This Rogue." said Jean.

Rogue extended her hand and Ginny shook it.

"I'll let you get settled in." said Jean as she put down Ginny's trunk. "I'll see you both at dinner."

"So… Ginny was it?" said Rogue.

Ginny nodded and she looked at the girl and frowned. It was very hot summer and yet she was wearing a glove.

"Why are you wearing a glove? Isn't it hot?" asked Ginny.

"It's because of my ability." replied Rogue. "I absorb people's power and occasionally memory as well."

Ginny's eyes widened. Harry told her about Mutants and what they are capable of before arriving in Xavier institute but it was still intriguing.

"You… you can absorb memory?" asked Ginny. She was never going to allow her to touch her. What would she think of her if she saw how horrible she was?

"Yes. But I never use my power in everyday life. Only during trainings and missions. If I contact someone for too long, they could die." said Rogue seriously.

Ginny was relieved to hear that.

"Last summer Hermione Granger came here. Do you know her?" asked Rogue.

"Come on Harry tell us!" said Sam.

"Please?" "Please?" "Please?" begged Jamie and this clones who swarmed Harry.

"You had a duo mission with Dr McCoy. None of us had a duo mission with an instructor." said Peter.

"Guys. Guys!" said Harry. "I don't have to tell you. Professor Xavier asked me to someday hook it up with memory catcher and the projector. However, today is not the day we will be watching it. It probably won't be for a long time."

"Why?" asked Bobby.

"Well, because the victim of the whole fiasco is currently with us in the building." said Harry. "She's deeply traumatized by it. Do you really think it's a good idea to show something like this?"

Others nodded, understanding. The door for the dining hall opened and the girls stepped in, with Ginny in the group.

"Hey Ginny. How are you doing so far?" asked Harry.

"Ok." said Ginny and when she saw group of boys, her eyes went wide and she quickly hid behind Harry, trembling.

"Ginny? Ginny? What's wrong?" asked Rahne.

"Hold on." said Harry as she led Ginny out of the dining room. "Speak to me Ginny. What's scaring you?"

"Boys… I get nervous when I see boys." trembled Ginny.

"But I'm a boy and you are not afraid of me, are you?" asked Harry.

"You're different. You saved me." mumbled Ginny.

"Ginny, believe me when I say again that they are some of the best people you will meet. Sure, Peter and Kurt looks intimidating but they are funny and thoughtful and some of the nicest person you can meet. Give them a chance." said Harry. "How about this, I'll sit next to you and Rogue can sit next to you. Will that make you feel better?"

Ginny nodded, albeit reluctantly.

Harry returned to the dining room, where everyone was already eating. Students all begin to introduce themselves to Ginny and to Harry's delight, Ginny was slowly opening up.

But it will still take time for her to get used to physical contacts or loud noises.

Next day, Ginny went to Professor Xavier's office for her therapy session.

"Good morning Ginny. Slept well?" asked Professor Xavier.

Ginny nodded slowly. "Fabulous. Shall we start the therapy?"

"Professor?" said Ginny.

"Yes?"

"Is it ok if I have Harry with me during therapy?" asked Ginny. "He makes me feel safe."

"Of course Ginny. Give me a minute." and Professor X sent a mental message. "Harry, Ginny asks you to be present in her therapy."

About 5 minutes later, Harry stepped in and sat next to Ginny.

"Good. Now first thing I would like to do is go through your mind, with your permission of course." said the Professor.

Ginny looked unsure and even bit scared. "Can this person really help me?" thought Ginny as she looked at Harry and then back at the Professor.

Harry gently reassured her. "Ginny, don't be afraid. Trust them. I did and it helped me." said Harry. Ginny stared at Harry for a moment and nodded.

The Professor gently placed his hand on Ginny's head and closed his eyes.

"Dear Tom. Today I saw Aiden Potter talking with my brother Ron. I wonder if he will ever notice me?" wrote Ginny. Words appeared on the diary.

"Ginny, of course Aiden Potter will notice you one day. How could he not notice a gorgeous girl like you?"

"Thank you Tom. You're the best." wrote Ginny while smiling widely.

"So, Ginny. Why don't we talk about Aiden Potter like we did yesterday? What was that they call him? Boy-Who-Lived?"

-scene change-

"Tom something's wrong. Colin got petrified today. First it was the cat and now Colin. I don't remember anything about both days!" wrote Ginny.

"You must have been very tired. I mean after all, it's your first year. You need time to adjust." said the diary.

"Maybe you're right." wrote Ginny but she looked very skeptical.

"Of course I'm right. Ginny. I'm always right."

-scene change-

"Tom, there are rooster feathers on my robe. I can't remember the days people got attacked. Tom, I think I'm attacking everyone!" scribbled Ginny.

If a diary could laugh, it would have probably let out a very cold laugh. "Did you just realize that you worthless girl? You've helped me greatly this whole time. Pity you found out about it." said the diary.

"I'm going to tell someone about this!" said Ginny but as soon as she took a step, she collapsed, feeling immense headache.

"Don't try Ginny. Didn't it go through your stupid head that I control you? You'll never tell anyone about this." said the diary.

"Why Tom?" sobbed Ginny. "I thought you were my friend."

"Foolish girl. Friends are only good for using and then discarding them after." said the diary.

-scene change-

"Where am I Tom?" trembled Ginny.

"In my chamber Ginny." smirked Tom. "A place in which I will be resurrected and you'll be ending your miserable life."

"No… Please Tom." trembled Ginny.

"I really have to thank you. Because without you, all this would have been impossible." sneered Tom.

"I won't help you Tom!" said Ginny defiantly as she tried to stand up.

For a moment, Tom's ghost like body solidified and he slapped Ginny, causing her to fall.

"Did you forget you foolish girl, that you are mine?" growled Tom. "I own you now."

"No… Tom." said Ginny as she slowly slipped into unconsciousness.

"I must say, it really was fun playing with you." said Tom licking his lips.

Professor X took a swig from the cup on his desk and wiped his forehead.

"That bad?" asked Harry.

"Worse, I'm afraid." said the Professor grimly. Professor Xavier explained about how she was possessed by Voldemort's soul, which made the young girl horrified. Professor X sent a message asking for Jean.

Jean Grey stepped in with a clipboard and asked the duo to follow her to her office. Professor X has already sent her information about what Ginny experienced.

Ginny and Harry sat down facing Jean.

"So Ginny. Could you tell me how you feel about yourself?" said Jean.

"I feel so dirty." said Ginny. "I feel like I will never feel clean again."

Jean wrote what Ginny said. "Why do you feel so dirty?"

"I feel like I've been violated. Tom made me do awful things and he laughed at me." said Ginny, tears once again welling in her eyes.

Harry wiped the tears away and gave Ginny a comforting look. "You are not dirty. What Tom did to you was awful treachery. He's the one who's dirty."

"Yes but there's something I hate so much about myself." sniffled Ginny. "I… I liked him. I trusted him. I think I even LOVED him. I'm just as guilty as he is. I'm just a worthless slag like he told me I was."

Jean put down the clipboard and looked at Ginny in shock. Then Jean pulled Ginny into a shock, where the girl collapsed onto her, and sobbed.

"Keep sobbing. Let it all out." Jean said quietly. Ginny sobbed and sobbed. By the time she was done, Jean needed a new shirt.

"You poor girl. That's not true in slightest. You are not worthless and you are definitely not a slag. He pretended to care for you and when you opened up, he used your trust in worst way possible." said Jean.

"There's nothing wrong with liking him Ginny. You believed he was a good person and he is a good actor. You being tricked is not dumb or any of your fault." said Harry.

"Do you really think so?" asked Ginny timidly.

"We know so." said Jean and Harry reassuringly.

"Hey Ginny?" said Rogue in her room.

"Yes Rogue?" said Ginny.

"Can you believe it's been a month you came here?" said Rogue.

"It's been that long already?" asked Ginny in surprise. Ginny's therapy has been going quite smoothly. She no longer cried as much and became quite good friend with Rogue. She even slowly opened up to the boys in the institute and learned about various muggle cultures and technology. "I guess time really does fly when you're enjoying yourself."

Ginny sat there in silence and she spoke up. "Hey Rogue? I have something I want to ask you."

"Hmm?" said Rogue. Ginny slowly explained about what happened to her, why she was receiving therapy. Ginny had told Rogue that so she could she her reaction. Would she be disgusted at her, or will she embrace her like Harry and Jean did?

"Do you think I'm to blame?" asked Ginny.

Rogue stood up and sat next to Ginny.

"Oh, GInny. That's obviously not your fault. How could you be blamed for something that you had no control over?" asked Rogue.

"Maybe this will cheer you up." said Rogue. "3 days before I first came to Xavier Institute, I was living my life, with absolutely no idea who I was or what power I had."

"See, I was playing with this neighborhood boy. It was tag and when I grabbed his arm, he suddenly fall to the ground and I begin to see his life. But when I snapped out of it, I got so scared at the thought that I killed him. So I ran away." said Rogue.

Ginny listened to every word Rogue was saying. "Few days later, a bald man in wheelchair and a short guy smoking a cigar came to me. Professor Xavier assured me that boy was fine and told me about my power. He said, and I quote "It's not your fault things happened and you didn't have control over it. Best thing you could do is making sure something like that never happens again to you or anyone else." So, that's my stance. If you had no control over what was going on and you were being used, you are a victim."

"Thank you Rogue." said Ginny breaking into a wide smile, happy that she didn't lose a friend.

"I must admit that you are one tough cookie. I mean, possesed for a year by a soul? Incredible." said Rogue.

"Alright, everyone be quiet." shushed Harry.

As soon as Rogue entered with Ginny everyone yelled "Happy Birthday Ginny!"

Ginny was surprised but realized it was August 11th, her birthday.

"Oh! Thank you everyone! I forgot it was my birthday!" said Ginny happily.

Everyone laughed and enjoyed the party while Ginny got gifts like stationary set and t shirt that said Xavier Institute.

As everyone was enjoying the birthday party, Ginny asked Harry. "Hey Harry? Can you do me a favor?"

"Anything Ginny. It's your birthday after all." said Harry.

"I overheard some boys talking about it few days ago." said Ginny. Her heart was thumping but she decided to overcome her fear and say it. "Can we watch what happened at the chamber?"

Harry looked surprised. Sure, he knew she will probably be wanting to hear about what happened at the chamber but actually see it?

"Are you sure Ginny? It might be too much for you." said Harry.

"No. I think watching it will help me get through my fear. Sure, I got a lot better than when I first came here but I still have nightmare sometimes or flinch when somebody yells. This could be a big step." said Ginny seriously.

Harry ran his finger through his hair and thought for a minute. "Alright. Hey guys I'm turning on the Memory catcher! Can somebody get me a projector please?"

Everyone sat down to get comfortable. The room went dark and Harry linked the memory catcher and the projector together, and started it.

Harry's friend all watched excitedly as Hank attacked the Basilisk. The teacher's looked impressed at Harry's tactic and plan he came up with. Ginny was watching the scene, making sure she's not missing out even a slight detail.

And the memory ended with Harry sticking the diary in the Basilisk's mouth and Tom disappearing. Everyone congratulated Harry and complimented him and Dr McCoy on their combat.

But Harry wasn't paying much attention to compliments. Harry was looking at Ginny, who was looking down.

"Ginny? Ginny?" Harry called.

Ginny looked at Harry with tears in her eyes but also a big smile. "Oh, Harry. Thank you."

"Is something wrong?" asked Harry.

"No. I'm just really happy. First you and Dr McCoy risked your lives to save me. And I'm really grateful. And… I can't understand anymore." said Ginny smiling.

"Understand what?" asked Harry.

"The Basilisks. I can't understand what it was saying. It was all just hissing." said Ginny.

"That's brilliant Ginny! I'm happy for you." smiled Harry.

"I know. Again, thank you so much for saving my life Harry." said Ginny and with that, she kissed him on the cheek.

A/N: I'm so sorry folks for the late chapter. I had bit of a work, writer's block, plus this was a tricky chapter to write. Hope it was enjoyable for you all. Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcomed!

Ginny temporarily understood Parseltongue because she was under influence of Voldemort's soul. Reason Harry can still understand even with Voldemort's soul gone from his head is because he had it for far longer years than Ginny, and thus the effect still lingers on him.

Oh, and Harry and Ginny aren't going out yet. That kiss was just saying thank you.

Saraloche98: Sorry to tell you that they won't appear in the story. I wrote in author's note that other heroes might get mentioned once in a while but not physically appear. Probably only non X Men character that will appear in the story is Dr Strange.

Red Dragon: Thank you for your ideas again.

Gates2Hell: Yeah, I really should have done a better job researching about the place. My bad.

Random Harry Potter fact of the day: Ginny's birthday is August 11th.
