Here is the next chapter. I did not truly see it going this way but as I wrote it, it kind of just came to me like this. All advice on what you would like to see happen is welcome. Please review and let me know what you think love Angel x
Ginny looked too stunned to be threatening right now. She simply sat down but did still keep out her wand which Narcissa noticed with a slight scowl.
"Now you asked me who I am and the answer is that I am the wife of Harry Potter. My name is Narcissa. It is not his business to tell everyone he is married when he doesn't want to" she said as the door opened again with Harry entering under his cloak as she eyed it and closed it. Ginny was too surprised to notice it otherwise she would have.
"But you can't be married to him! You simply can't be. Professor Dumbledore and my parents said he'd be marrying me! I know recently I was selfish taking that job with the Hollyhead Harpies. It wasn't fair to him and I can see that now. To be honest I was running from my mum. I don't want to be like her but I can see that this is what Harry does want so I am willing to change for him. I can give him children very quickly and as many as he likes!" she said extreme desperation coating her voice as Narcissa scowled at her.
"Miss Weasley you'll find that looks can be deceiving. To tell you the truth if my own son saw me now he wouldn't even know me. I was at the bank today and inherited something very interesting indeed. My great Aunt was Lucretia Black. This name may mean nothing to you but will mean something to your mother. Essentially dear old Lucretia trusted no one and left the Prewett line ownership to me. As your mother was a Prewett before she married I could make life very difficult for her but I don't want to have to do that. Show me your memories of this conversation!" she commanded as Ginny looked horrified.
"It wasn't just one conversation. This happened over years! I don't know how to extract memories! Just please look inside my head and you will see I am not only telling the truth but that by marrying you he broke the law!" she said as Narcissa pointed her wand at her head and looked inside it. The first memory appeared there. Ginny was so young. She was sitting at a kitchen table somewhere Narcissa assumed was her home or something. Albus and Molly were over on the other side of her smiling at her.
"Ginny dear this is Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts where Bill goes. Do you remember what we said about the boy in your bedtime stories while we drunk your special juice?" Molly asked her daughter seriously holding up a book about Harry Potter and his adventures. One that had later been proven to be all lies.
"Yes mummy I do. This is my hero Harry Potter the boy who lived! I will make him the boy who loved in my life when I am of age! You said I will be a perfect wife and give him many children just like you are with Daddy" she responded her eyes glowing with hope and desperation solution which she'd been fed for many years now. Narcissa could see her expression via the wall mirror on the opposite side of the table. She looked to be about ten or so years old and ever so nervous.
"Miss Weasley your mum has informed me of your desire to marry Harry Potter and I am aware of your family's status as light and this pleases me very much indeed. I am his legal and magical guardian in our world and I would wish for him to marry someone light instead of someone neutral or worse yet again someone dark. Here please sign this contract now and you will be promised to him when he is older. This means he will have no choice but to marry you! If he doesn't marry you sweetheart he'll go to jail for a very long time but I don't want that for him and I know you don't either" Dumbledore said passing over a contract which Ginny easily signed.
She was furious at how willing they all were to manipulate this young little child who knew no better. As the memories went on she saw more and more how Harry was manipulated and fed various love potions. She saw Ginny being dosed with desperation, love and loyalty potions by Dumbledore and her own very desperate mother. She was disgusted at how neglected and abused not only Harry but Ginny herself had been. She had known nothing and everyone around her had abused this getting her to consent with being with a man who would never love her. Harry watched as she came out of those memories looking sad indeed. It was utterly astounding. Yes they'd not done any dark rituals but for all the potions they'd used on their daughter they may as well have done the dark ritual and had done with it. It was so disgusting and did hit far too close to home.
"Ginerva I am so sorry! I am so sorry no one ever listened to you or asked you what you wanted. This is unacceptable. Unfortunately I am left with no choice but to ask if you wish to remain a Weasley or become a vassal to my house and become a Prewett member. If you did this you would have to do what I say however I would only ask you to take a potion cleansing broth and do what it is you actually want and not whatever others want for you. That is not good. You were only ten years old! What in the hell does a ten year old know. I myself was abused at a young age so I know what I am talking about! It's never fun!" she said suddenly passionate as Ginny burst into tears.
"But you saw that I signed that contract! He has to marry me now! He saved me in the Chamber of Secrets! You saw it! Why would I want to leave my family?" she sobbed as Narcissa straightened up her logical Slytherin cap now firmly on.
"You wouldn't be leaving your family just your parents. They cannot properly love someone who they manipulate into thinking they have only one choice in their life. I saw your mother telling you that if you'd not been so selfish in your career choices things might now be easier with Harry. I was forced to marry someone awful when I was too young myself and you don't want that trust me! It truly is awful" she said with compassion as Ginny broke down further. Harry watched from the other couch in fascination. He'd not known that this had happened because he'd not wanted to. In fairness he did have other things on his mind at the time. He was furious she had been manipulated so much herself and that he'd been fed potions forcing him to love her because he'd not known about that. Ginny looked up then sadness still quite evident in her expression.
"Who were you forced to marry Narcissa? I am so sorry to hear that. My parents don't have money. I think I was their last hope although that's a guess I am not sure. I love working with the Hollyhead Harpies. I don't truly want to stop but my mum said I have to if I'm to get Harry and be a good true loving wife like she is to my dad!" she said looking highly upset and confused. This had not gone at all as Narcissa had been thinking it might but when she saw how manipulated Ginny had been it hit far too close to home and she couldn't take it. She couldn't not intervene when she saw this!
"Please give me a vow you will not tell anyone who I was previously married to as I would rather people don't know unless they either guess correctly or I choose to tell them. It was awful and my parents forced me into it using a very dark ritual!" Narcissa said shedding some tears of her own although she did so delicately.
"I Ginevra Molly Weasley do hereby swear on my life and magic that I will never reveal who you are unless you say I can so mote it be!" she said glowing blue to show it had taken affect.
"My parents forced me to age to the correct age using a very dark ritual and forced me to marry Lucius Malfoy whom they thought was the best suitor for me. I was really thirteen but everyone else thought I was seventeen. I started school at seven instead of eleven like I should have it was awful!" she said Ginny gasped.
"Why was your son so awful then? Draco was totally horrible! You do not seem horrible at all and why are you married to Harry!? I mean isn't he a bit young for you?" she said as Narcissa sighed deeply.
"I cannot answer for Draco or his actions. I did the best I could but Lucius was very abusive or controlling if you prefer and would not allow me to raise Draco the way I truly wanted to. I have only realised how vein and ridiculous Draco is recently. Yes he changed sides in the war but he was awful before he realised his father was not right. In fact he took too long to see that in all honesty. I wanted him to be proud of his heritage and uphold a good position in society but I wanted him to do so through honesty and chivalry not lying and misdeeds as he did!" she said pausing to take a drink from the glass of water Kreacher had given her earlier on. Ginny also had one but hadn't touched it yet.
"I married Harry because I was always meant to. Both my parents for me and Professor Dumbledore for him insured we were never married although we were always meant to be. I cannot say anymore then this right now. To be honest with you I hate Albus Dumbledore! He was not there for me at a time when I desperately needed his help. I was told it was my own fault I wasn't in Gryffindor as he'd have been able to help me if I had been!" she sneered deeply her disgust evident on her face.
"I am sorry to say he was never good at hiding that he quite obviously favoured his own house. I am sorry he couldn't help you that's awful. What should I do now because I feel highly conflicted and it's not something I can seem to get over!" she asked as Narcissa looked at her seriously.
"Ginevra to be honest I cannot see this go on and continue a moment longer. No one was ever there for me when I needed them and no one ever cared for me like they should have. Kreacher! Yes please bring me a cleansing solution. Miss Weasley here will be taking it and then deciding with a clear mind what she wishes to do next!" she ordered carefully as he bowed once popped away and popped back in a few minutes later with the solution. The solution was handed to Ginny who looked at the bottle such fear in her system. She was terrified. What if she truly was an awful person and those potions she'd been fed all her life made her the great person she was today? What if she had no true substance to her at all? How would she feel? Narcissa took her hand comfortingly and looked at her with kind eyes. Ginny looked stunned to the core at this action. No one had ever looked at her that kindly and with honesty apart from Bill before and it was shocking. With shaking hands she opened the vial and drunk from it downing the horrendous tasting potion as there was an explosion sound with her whole body being covered in smoke. When the smoke cleared she looked way more curvy then she had. Her hips were much larger as was her chest. Narcissa had to adjust her top for her repairing it as it had split during the sudden growth. She seemed to have less freckles and was taller than before by about four ft. Her pants was magically adjusted to fit her new height and Narcissa smiled deeply.
"How do you feel Ginevra?" she asked her kindly as Ginny smiled at her looking highly relieved to say the least.
"I feel like me at last! I feel like the lady I was always meant to be. I don't love Harry at all. I mean he's cool don't get me wrong and hey we could even be friends if he'd like but I can see that the way I behaved was desperate and ridiculous. It's obvious to me that I was forced to love and desire him beyond belief which I do hate. Is it awful if I say I hate my mother? I do love my brothers no question but I am so very mad that none of them ever seemed to notice how bad or different I was except for Bill. Bill is my favourite brother. He noticed and spoke to my mum but she just told him I was an exceptionally hormonal teenager and unfortunately for me he just bought it!" she said her hair flaring out around her via magic as her rage became evident.
In fact she looked a little scary when she was mad. Narcissa waited for Ginny to get it all out of her system.
"I apologise Narcissa but I was previously literally conditioned to hate and mistrust you. I was conditioned to mistrust Harry severely if he chose anyone but me. That's not living. I don't know what that is to be honest but living it certainly is not. Is there a way to make her no longer my mum? Can I do that? Do you even know?" she asked regret filling her voice. She looked more mature now and was asking very sensible things.
"Please Kreacher give this lady a hot meal while I go out. She is to get anything she wants. I need to speak to my lawyer for a moment!" she said leaving to tell Harry who ran after her explaining what he'd done with his cloak. At least he understood. She asked him to wait for her here and left via floo for the lawyer's office. This would be a long day.
