Hogwarts 1994-1995
Summer at home. Yet another two months when she would keep her mouth shut and try to stay out of everybody's way.
She had given up now on trying to find a way to tell them that she'd been possessed in her first year. So much time had passed, and now that Ron had spread around that she was shagging her way through the school she was getting even more stink eye from her parents. Initially they hadn't mentioned anything to her, but then came the day only after a few days home that her mother found something in her laundry.
What other excuse could there possibly be for Ginny having nice underclothes than that she was prostituting herself out? The colour her mothers face turned while she was yelling at her had her a little concerned that she may just pass out from not breathing between her screams. Her father didn't look to much better as he turned purple in anger standing next to his wife. Her brothers had all crowded around her door to watch the show, glaring at her.
Ginny just sat there silently not portraying any emotion on her face. She was sitting back against her pillows blocking out the accusatory words coming out of her mothers mouth as she brandished the offending knickers in Ginny's face. Screaming now that she wasn't the daughter they raised.
She was right about that. The daughter they had raised had a loving family, one that would listen to her when she spoke, that would never listen to salacious rumors, or be the one to start them. This daughter was dying inside and every sideways glance and glare was killing her soul more and more.
A reprieve from her family came when she was left behind at the Burrow while the rest of the family went off to start preparing for the war or some such business. She wasn't privy to what exactly they were doing that required them to be away from home for days or weeks at a time. The family seemed to be taking it in turns coming back to the Burrow to check and see that Ginny was taking care of the upkeep. There were still animals to be fed, and chores that needed doing.
It was kind of nice to have the place to herself. No one digging a knife into her heart with cruel words or looks over meal time, no one yelling at her up the stairs while she hid in her room. No hiding in her room. She could swim or fly or go into Ottery St. Catchpole with-out having to give reasons for being there.
When she was by herself she could forget all the awfulness for a while, and just enjoy being surrounded by peace.
Then it was time to go back to Hogwarts.

The disillusionment charm was probably the most valuable spell she'd ever learned. And by learned she of course meant 'taught herself'. She spent over a year perfecting it. She'd taught herself all manner of charms and hexes in between, but staying invisible to her school mates, and sometimes Professors, or Filch had been immensely helpful. It allowed her not only to avoid being heckled by bullies, but with her now developing body and tight uniform, it allowed her to avoid unwanted male attention.
She still had to endure comments at meal times and in classes, but it was relatively impossible to search her out in between those times. The same could not be said for all of the other girls getting harassed. And Ginny noticed the harassed. And the perpetrators. And she remembered the day she noticed the perpetrators stop as well.
Marcus Belby, a Ravenclaw and Adrian Pucey from Slytherin were Prefects in their seventh year. They had been the worst for making leud comments in the halls, just out of ear of the Professors. They were rarely seen together, but she knew they did rounds together. They had always been 'accidentally' grabbing at girls, or brushing up against them and falsely apologizing. Then one day it all stopped, but they seemed entirely too smug, and she knew they hadn't gotten girlfriends or anything.
It nagged at her.
Nothing else seemed out of sorts, and she found that suspicious. She'd been paying special attention to Adrian in particular since that corridor incident to find some way to pay him back for it. So, she started following them silently, and disillusioned when they had rounds. She threw on every kind of spell she could think of to make herself unnoticeable, including her scent.
It may have been three years since she was threatened with expulsion at the end of her first year should she step one toe out of line, but she had been immensely careful to not cause trouble, or even lose house points. She had broken rules since, but she'd never gotten caught.
Ginny followed them one night on their rounds carefully as they checked every broom closet and empty classroom and they seemed to grow increasingly irritable as the evening drew on, and they hadn't caught any rule breakers. Perhaps they just got a thrill out of docking house points and reporting the culprits?
Belby snarled disappointed. "Damn it. I'm fucking worked up, and we don't have rounds for another week."
"Well, I'm certainly not going back to my dorm to deal with this myself." Pucey said sinisterly. In the dark light of the corridor Ginny saw the concerned and hesitant expression on Belby's face while he regarded Pucey. Pucey then pulled something from his pocket and shake some into his hand before returning it. "I'll make it easier for you." He then ran his finger down his own neck. Belby stepped forwards and inhaled deeply. Pucey let out a single dark chuckle and pulled Belby into the nearest room.
Ginny did not follow them in. Instead she waited outside the door and got close enough to hear a few sounds from within. It sounded like creaking wood and grunting. Her eyes grew wide. They were buggering each other!
She held a horrified hand over her mouth and backed away from the door. Them doing that to each other wasn't the problem she had. Her problem was that they had resigned to buggering each other because they hadn't found anyone out past curfew. Meaning, if they had…
But no one had reported any rape, or any misdoings by the two prefects at all. And it had been going on for a few weeks now if their change in character was anything to go by.
She walked back to her dorm in a trance. In the Slytherin Common Room she got into the girls' bathroom stall and removed her charm, then re-entered the common room finding a secluded corner to hide in and sat there, pretending to read until she saw Adrian Pucey come back in and head straight for his dorm, walking a little differently than he had been earlier.
There was no two ways about it. He and Marcus Belby had been committing heinous acts using their role as prefects. She just didn't understand how. And what was it that Pucey put on himself to make it 'easier' for Belby? Pheromones of some kind?
She was shaken about it the entire week until the next time they had rounds. She waited until just before Pucey would have to get ready to go and snuck into the corridor and applied all of her spell to slink behind him as a safe distance and unfortunately she found out what it was they were up to.
Belby and Pucey did come across a couple this night. They three of them heard a small noise eminating form a broom closet only twenty minutes into the rounds and the two prefects were smiling far too widely. Ginny moved around to stand back on the other side of the corridor from where the couple would be discovered.
The prefects pulled the door open abruptly and there were two yelps from inside. The prefects laughed at the reaction from the couple.
A Hufflepuff fourth year Ginny didn't know the name of squeaked an apology and attempted to re-do her buttons on her blouse while her boyfriend, a Ravenclaw that Belby seemed familiar with smirked at Belby, clearly thinking he would just get a verbal reprimand.
Instead Pucey shot him with the 'Petrificus Totalus' spell and pulled the potion from his pocket. He put some of the potion on his wrists, and some on his neck. Then handed it to Belby, who did the same.
"Don't worry darling." Belby told the confused girl. "We won't harm your boyfriend, or even give you a detention." He smiled.
Pucey stepped around the Ravenclaw boy and pulled at her blouse. Slowly undoing her buttons again. "How are you feeling tonight?" Pucey stroked a finger down her cheek. The girl got a dazed look on her face and moaned slightly.
"Wh-what are you doing?" She asked.
"Just picking up where he left off." Pucey eyed her body hungrily.
"Wh-what?"
Pucey shoved his hand under her skirt and she squeaked indignantly. "Nice. He got her wet." Pucey told Belby.
"Nice." Belby grinned evilly and put his hand on his crotch to adjust himself.
Ginny was horrified. She'd assumed it was something along these lines, and thought through the scenarios she would come across with these two. The girl was as frozen as Ginny found herself to be, as she had been the previous year when Pucey had come after her. She had been fortunate enough to have two people stop him from getting too far.
But there was nothing Ginny could do for the poor girl right now. This wasn't the first victim and she needed to know how they were getting away with it. She watched as Pucey pulled down the girls knickers and pushed her harder against the wall. She watched as Belby stood guard, stroking himself at the display before him. And she was horrified with it all, including herself for not being able to stop it and still get justice for their victims.
The girl wasn't putting up much of a fight, which confused Ginny. But this Hufflepuff girl seemed torn about whether she wanted it or not.
Pucey let out a thoroughly satisfied groan. "Oh yeah, she was a virgin."
Belby swore. "Why do you always wind up with the virgins? Every time I go first they aren't."
Pucey didn't do anything to respond but chuckle and groan as he continued to take this girls innocence.
It didn't take long for Pucey to finish. When he let the girl go and stepped back Ginny could see the tears glinting down the girls face, and a bit of blood trickle down between her bowed legs. Pucey cast a cleaning spell at himself, and her. He was pulling up his trousers as Belby went forward undoing his own.
Belby was not as quiet as Pucey had been. In between grunts she could hear the loud whispers of him asking if she liked it. Comments on how tight she was, and how good she felt.
Ginny hadn't realized she had tears rolling down her own cheeks as well. The girl had only whimpered in response to his comments. Then Belby finished too with a loud groan. He cast the same cleaning spell as Pucey had, then pulled up his trousers and stepped back.
"Thanks for that darling." Pucey said, they both snickered and stepped back in front of the frozen boy. Pucey picked him up under the arm, Belby took his other. They lifted him so he was right in front of his girlfriend, and they lowered his trousers and pants.
The girl still seemed frozen in terror to the spot.
"Ready?" Pucey asked Belby.
Belby took a deep breath. "Ready. Finite Incantum."
"Imperio." Pucey cast the Imperius Curse as soon as the boy was unfrozen. The boy was now seemingly oblivious to his surroundings and started snogging his girlfriend again, then against her half-attempted protests, started fucking her as well.
"Obliviate." Belby cast the memory charm. Ginny could see the level of concentration on his face.
The girls face went blank for a moment, then looked quite like she was enjoying herself, oblivious to her spectators.
The Prefects closed the door to the broom closet, waited a full minute, then knocked. "It's after curfew!" Pucey said angrily through the door.
Ginny heard a surprised squeak from inside the cupboard, and some hurried movements. Pucey and Belby laughed silently waiting for the door to open.
"Sorry." The Ravenclaw boy said when he opened it, fully dressed.
"You should know better, Corner." Belby chastised him. "I'll have to take house points from the both of you."
"Twenty each." Pucey said. "Now get back to your common rooms."
The two blushed and nodded before scurrying off. Pucey and Belby smiled at each other. "Guess that's a night then." Pucey laughed.
"Until next week." Belby gave him a mock salute.
As Pucey passed close to Ginny she caught the most amazing and intoxicating whiff of his scent. Like coffee and chocolate. It almost made her want to groan.
Amortentia, she realized after it passed. That was how they were manipulating the girls into submission.
She walked back to her common room in a daze. They were horrible, awful, despicable, nasty vermin. Abusing their power to steal the innocence of unsuspecting girls, maybe even boys, and their victims didn't even know it. That girl was in fourth year, she might not even know what Amortentia was, or know some of the subtle signs of having a memory charm on you. Nor the boy. And she'd just stood there watching it happen. Maybe she did belong in Slytherin.
There was only one more week until their next rounds, and she had to find a way to plan out how to put an end to it for good, and with the most impact. She found she had to write it down, write it down and go over everything that could potentially go wrong. Somehow poisoning the Amortentia wouldn't work. If they found themselves poisoned they would just wind up in the hospital wing and be more careful about their potion, and suspicious.
Duplicating their wands would be good, so long as she had spare wands around that she could exchange them with and make them look exactly the same. She could just knick some from a few first years and swap the wands out before they went on rounds, she'd have to switch them back after. She would also need to cast the same spells they did, for a Priori Incantem to be correct.
The other wands wouldn't work properly for them, so the spells they use on the victims wouldn't work properly.
The memory charm is the last spell they use, so she'd need to get someone with authority there before they attempt that one. Imperius was one thing. It either worked, or it didn't. But a bad memory charm could do serious damage.
She made sure that Marcus Belby was added to her map, Pucey she'd put on there last year. The professors too needed to be added.
The night of their rounds she'd transfigured two wands she'd knicked from first years to look just like Pucey's and Belby's. Whether they were perfect replica's or would feel right she didn't know. She could only hope.
During dinner she made the swap and had to pray that they wouldn't cotton on, or try any difficult, or easy to them, spells. She kept tabes on where each one of the Professors were in the castle during their rounds, and stayed a few corridors away from where the two decrepit boys were patrolling.
Then she saw them on the map. The two prefects were hovering just outside a classroom a moment before they burst inside it. The two students that were in there didn't show up on her map, which meant that they were either quite young, or they had never done anything untoward to her. Ginny felt as though a hand was tightening over her heart and throat as the Prefects walked further into the room. Pucey stayed in the middle of the room, while Belby moved forward to the far side by the window. It was his turn to go first.
Professor McGonagall was the closest Professor. Ginny ran to her quarters and banged on her door. She stepped back and remained absolutely still across the hall as she levitated a note in front of the door.
The door opened and cast light into the corridor. Professor McGonagall stood in her dressing gown and looked up and down the corridor before she read the note. She poked her head out to look down the corridor again with wide eyes and a slack mouth.
A ball of light was shimmering, floating in lazy circles that started circling more rapidly. To Ginny's relief the Professor did not take it as some prank, and promptly followed after it. Whether she heard Ginny following behind her at a safe distance while she controlled the ball of light leading them to the classroom, she didn't know. If the older matron did hear her, she hoped the Professor would understand her desire not to be called out.
They made it to the classroom just in time to hear Pucey cast the Imperius Curse. Professor McGonagall burst through the classroom door and discovered the Prefects. "Expelliamus" She screamed, and the boys were knocked away, their wands cast away from them.
Ginny caught where the wands had landed and quickly swapped them out for the boys actual wands. She saw that it had been Hannah Abbot and Seamus Finnegan that were the most recent victims before she tucked herself back outside the classroom to hear what was going to happen to the boys.
The wispy Patronus of a tabby cat ran out into the hall and out of sight. Ginny recognized the cat as the Professors. It was an exact match to her Animagus form. She could hear Hannah Abbot crying. The girl had just been raped.
Ginny felt awful for not being able to stop it from happening. She didn't know another way to make sure the boys would get properly punished for all that they had done. That was the mantra she kept repeating to herself, hoping eventually it would make her feel even the slightest bit justified in her course of action.
Allowing herself a peek into the classroom she saw that the two Prefect's were frozen in a seated position on one side of the room now. Seamus and Hannah were on the other. She was bawling heavily on the Professors shoulder. Seamus was seated in the corner, elbows on the desk and his face in his hands. Ginny's heart broke a bit more at the sight.
She stepped back again, anticipating that the reinforcements would be there shortly. She was tucked well out of sight in behind a suit of armor when Professors Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick, and Sprout came along one by one into the classroom. The headmaster and all the heads of house.
Ginny couldn't hear what was going on in the room, but Professor Sprout and Hannah Abbot were the first to exit. Hannah was still crying, hugged tight to Professor Sprouts side. They headed in the direction of the Hospital Wing.
Professor Snape was the next to make a swift exit. It seemed an eternity before he returned, but when he did he had a member of the Ministry with him. Ginny could only tell it was a Ministry Member because she recognized Gawain Robards. He was next in line for head Auror, right now he headed up the Investigations Department. She let out an inaudible sigh of relief.
Professor McGonagall was the next to leave the room after about ten minutes, she had a very red faced and shaking Seamus Finnegan with her. They too headed in the direction of the Hospital Wing.
"That wasn't my last spell!" Belby's voice carried out down the hall.
Ginny had considered that. She desperately wanted to get someone there in time to stop Belby from casting that spell. But wanted it to be the last one used with his wand anyways. It may lead to some unanswered questions, but it would make them understand how those two did their nefarious deeds.
She'd seen enough. Ginny came out of her hiding place and snuck down to her common room and into her bed. None of her dorm mates were there.
Feeling like some justice at least had been served, she fell into a fitful sleep.
The next day at breakfast in the Great Hall Dumbledore announced that Marcus Belby and Adrian Pucey had been expelled, and were on their way to Azkaban for committing highly morally irreprehensible acts, and admitting to all under Veritaserum.
Ginny put on a slightly surprised, slightly confused face and cast a wide gaze, noting that neither Hannah Abbot, nor Seamus Finnegan seemed to be present.
Over the next few days rumors circulated about what the two prefects had done, as well there were more sighting of parents in the halls than she'd ever noticed before. Lastly, a few more couples were breaking up then there had been, including Michael Corner and his girlfriend, who's name was Evelyn MacMillan.
Ginny ascertained that the Professors and Robards had gotten a list of the victims and had informed them of what happened. She sincerely hoped they hadn't reversed the memory charms though. There was no way to tell from Ginny's perspective, and the gossip mill was not reaching her ears if it was out there.
AN- If only I could have had the boys burn in hell instead of rot in a cell. I hope I portrayed Ginny's disgust with them, and herself enough.
