Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Harry Potter.
A/N: I finally got some Ginny's POV in. So from now on, the sections labeled with nothing is Draco, and the other sections labeled with Ginny's POV is Ginny.
The Mission
Unlike Virginia, I don't have close friends. I have always been somewhat of a loner though Father
has tried to beat it out of me. So to please him, I 'befriended' Crabbe and Goyle, the sons of two
Deatheaters. Their fathers are friends of my father.
Crabbe and Goyle are very easy creatures to handle. They don't take much effort, and they are
oblivious to their surroundings until I tell them otherwise. This leaves me with time to do
whatever I want without worrying about reports being sent to Father. I spend much of this time
reading or thinking of Ginny and the meetings. I prepare the next lessons and then research to
know more about our powers.
It is interesting how alike Ginny and I are though we have such different backgrounds. The first
and most obvious similarity is our powers. Also, we both lost our naivete at young ages. At the
tender ages of eleven to be exact. Mine was lost when Father started beating me. Her innocence
was taken when the Chamber of Secrets incident happened.
Virginia and I have similar dispositions. Cynical and wary. I flaunt it for Father. She hides her
attitude well. That is another similarity. We hide our emotions. She is very good as am I. I can
still read her thoughts through her eyes however. I have learned to hide my emotions behind a
mask of scorn for many years. She is still learning the technique.
I do not quite understand why she would do this. I know that she has loving family and friends.
Well, I suppose I know her reasoning. She does not want people to know her secrets unless she
tells them.
Completely understandable. I am the same way. I mistrust very easily. I suppose that has
something to do with my youth. In my early years, I loved and trusted my parents. And I thought
they loved and trusted me too.
Father told me 'important' Deatheater secrets and made me feel special. He spent hours teaching
me fencing, horseback riding, and ballroom dancing.
Mother taught me about music. I was taught to play the piano by her.
Father also taught me about history, behavior, and magic. In behavior and history, he made me
learn pride. Pride in my bloodline and pride in who I am.
Magic was my easiest class with Father. Because of my powers, it was simple for me to
memorize the words for spells, curses, and charms. I could -and can- memorize a textbook by
reading it once.
I have what Muggles call a photographic memory. Of course, over the years, I have focused this
through meditation. Now, I can recall everything about the most minor detail instead of just what
it looked like.
I kept most of what I knew from Father even back then. I guess that even when I was young, I
knew that something about Father was off. Some part of me knew that Father was just using me
for his own purposes and that if he knew I was powerful, he would use it to his advantage.
My photographic memory is a blessing and an annoyance. In my mind, most of my thoughts are
with Ginny. My memory supplies images of her and conversations we have had. My mind
wanders to her in class. I am forever wondering what she is learning.
The curiosity that builds up during the day is satisfied when we meet. Before and after our
lessons, she talks about her day. Of course, she never asks about mine. And for that I am
appreciative. We also discuss history and other subjects related to our powers.
When she writes in her diary, I get additional information that she does not tell me in my dragon
form. She writes that she thinks of me as her best and favorite teacher. I believe that this is
because she feels more open with me. Plus, she is the only student in the class. The lesson is
always one-on-one. She learns more because no one if holding her back.
***********************************
As I walk through the forest in my fox form, I am astounded by my surroundings. Even though I
have walked down this path for the better part of a year, it still fascinates me. I enter the clearing
where my professor is standing. He growls a hello, and I nod in response. I don't understand it,
but I am perfectly at ease in his presence. He is easily the best teacher I have ever had. What he
teaches intrigues me. Probably because I haven't already learned it.
After he quizzed me on the dragon vowels, he started on the verbs. He talks in dragon throughout
the whole lesson like he always does.
Many people don't know this but dragon is a beautiful language. The dragon language is filled
with unique words and phrases that send chills down my spine in their sound.
We go through the lesson at a steady pace as always when suddenly he stops. I ask him if he is
alright. He motions for me to come to him. I sense something wrong, so I creep up to him slowly.
Then he raises his head. His whole face is changed. His expression is one of disgust and hatred,
and his eyes are as cold as ice.
What have I done?, I ask myself. Then my professor growls in a voice to match his face. "Run. I
dare you. It will be more fun to hunt you down, then devour you flesh and soul." I just stared at
him. He stepped closer and growled menacingly to prove his point.
Lord, have mercy on me, I thought. Then I ran for my life. In my mind, I knew that I could never
outrun a dragon. But still I ran. I had reached the outer rim or trees in the forest when I heard him
land behind me.
I whirl around excepting to see a massive Swedish Short-Snout dragon coming closer. But I
didn't see that. Instead, I saw Draco Malfoy silently running up to me with the same angered
expression that Professor Felton had had.
I can't think. I stumble and fall to the ground. Oh God, he's going to kill me. "No, not yet,"
Malfoy said, reading my mind, "I want you to die a slow, painful death. Until tomorrow night."
With that, he disappeared.
******************************************
(Ginny's POV)
I woke up, gasping. Oh God, it was a dream, I thought thankfully. It was so different from my
other nightmares. So real.
And that's how it started. Night after night, I have been having nightmares. Each one picks up
where the last one left off. It is a long series.
I have decided to tell Professor Felton about the nightmares. I have not done so before because I
stupidly thought that he would be offended that my subconscious made him evil. But the more I
have the dreams, the less I feel it has to do with my subconscious. I think someone might have
planted the dreams into my mind.
I can barely stay awake in classes anymore. Professor Felton is starting to notice how tired I am
even though I pretend to be normal with him. But tonight I will tell him.
In my free time, I go to the library and research about dreams. But it is so hard to concentrate on
the writing. I have thought about going to Madame Pomfrey and requesting a Dreamless Sleep
Potion, but I doubt it would work. I would have to tell her about the dreams, so she'd let me take
the potion. Then she'd definitely tell Dumbledore, and everything would go wrong. But what if
Professor Felton tells Dumbledore? No, I trust the Professor. He wouldn't do that without my
consent.
