Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.

Twenty years earlier -

"Girl, cant you get anything right?!"

I shuddered into my cauldron. I hadn't been sleeping well and this stupid teacher wasn't making me feel any better, but what did one expect from Snape?

"With all due respect sir, I believe I speak for everyone when I say have you ever been laid before? I mean you can't be so bad tempered all the time if yoou had had a chance to release all that extra sexual tension ... on that note do you have regular baths? I've heard that it can be bad for your health if you don't wash your hair ... then again you could probably make a fortune off the oil on your head."

"Is that all Miss Weasley?" I nodded, looking annoyed. He looked pissed

"Fair enough . DETENTION!"

"Arggh!"

I got up out of my seat and walked out the door towards my dormitory, well in the general direction anyway I had no intention of actually going there. Nothing to do in that tower anyway - my brother and his stupid friends all standing around, though I have notcied a few of them looking as bored as I felt at times. That just made me feel better, knowing that Ron wasn't as adored as he thought he was.

Ignoring Professor Snape's call of "If you don't come back here right this minute .!" I kept walking, the threat drowning out as I got futher away from that dredded classroom

'Bloody idiot! . Hey what was that noise?' I stopped in my tracks and looked around. A door at the end of the corridor opened and shut. Normal right? Wrong . there wasn't anyone there. 'Geeze Gin you're losing it. Keep walking Hun, walking . was that footsteps? . no! you're being paranoid . no one's there'

"Hey Gin!" I jumped and turned around.

"Oh . Ron . its only you . DON'T DO THAT!"

"Gin? What are you doing out of class so early? Aren't you supposed to be in potions?" Gods, I HATED Ron, always having to be Harry's second. He got the girl, the guy. He was liked by almost everyone . well except the Slytherins.

But I hated him. Prancing around as if he always knew what was best for everyone. Especially me. It wasn't as if I was some innocent that needed saving for Christs sake. I was 14! Not a child. Though I suposse that he thought of me as his little baby sister, untarnished by the war that was raging. Still an innocent. How was he to know that I, little Ginny had out grown him, out grown all of them.

"Snape kicked me out" Simple as straight to the point as I always was when talking to him. Even if it wasn't the truth. I didn't need him to see the emotions in my eyes so I kept them blank. A blank blue green that changed with my moods.

"Oh, well then I ... well ... you should go ... seeya Gin" He was hiding something. Ron never was any good at keeping secrets. I looked around and noticed that the door at the end of the corridor was still slightly open. I decided to investigate. I had been told that curiosity killed the cat, and I being the biggest cat, a Gryffindor, should have been warned.

Ron had dissapeared, under Harrys cloak no doubt. I don't understand how they could think that i didn't know about that cloak they were far to obvious about it. I turned back to the door and started to walk toward it. I didn't notice the shadows that followed me. I should have been aware but I wasn't ... everyone else was in class, why bother?

I reached the door and pushed it open, and was suprised by the fact it was just a bedroom. Had I listened at meals I would have known it was "The room" but I didn't. Investigating futher lead me into the room, it was green and silver, Slytherin colours. Another warning that I paid no heed to.

"HEY!" I jumped violently. "WHAT IN GODS GOOD NAME DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING GOODY GOODY GRYFF!?" Turning around I came face to face with Collette, Hogwarts resident slut.

"Sorry, my brother told me to meet someone here" I replied. 'Thank the gods I'm a good lier, comes in handy ...'

"Oh. Ron's little sister? gwen ... goth ... gen ... gin! Gin! that's it right? Well you go tell him that he's late, and I'm waiting!" and with that she lounged her self on the bed, in a rather unapealling position.

I didn't wait for her to tell me to leave I was gone from the moment she turned her back ... gods what was my brother thinking?! I was to pre- occupied with my getting-away-from-that-whore-that-i-didnt-want-to-see- anyways to notice the shadows had returned. They must have followed me as I walked deeper and deeper into the dungeons. I wasn't lost, one couldn't be related to Fred and George and not have a built in map of Hogwarts in their head. I was meerly passing time, I didn't atually feel like going to class or to the common room and figured I had a good 2 hours until lunch, no teachers patrolled down there either.

I heard a noise and turned quickly. I saw a shadow trying to sink back into the darkness and lit my wand.

"Who's there? I'm warning you ..." I called

"Ginny? Gosh you scared me!" Harry stepped out of the shadows and I was too busy being relieved that it was only harry to think of why he would be down here, in the shadows. I didnt see him wave his hand slightly as if to guesture to someone to keep going.

"Sorry Harry! what are you doing out of class?" 'Nice Gin ... now he's gonna wanna talk ...'

"Marbly asked me to go and find a boggart for him for the littler kids" Good old harry always looking out for those younger than him ... hes such a jerk! Sucking up to the new Defence against the Dark Arts professor ... What a freak! I have to get away from here ... he'll tell Ron.

"Well Harry, I better get going ..." 'Don't say you'll come with me, dont say it!' I pleaded silently

"Oh! do you want me to come with you? I can come and look for the boggart later ..."

"No it's alright ... Harry ... bye"

'Gosh that was close' I thought ... continuing on my way the shadows still following. I looked at my watch and cursed lunch was in less than 10 minutes and I was expected to be there, picking up my robe hem, grabbing my bag I piss-bolted to the Great Hall, making it just in time. Sitting down I looked for Harry. I spotted him with Pansy and Draco at the Slytherin table, ducked between them talking fast ...
