Disclaimer - I do not now, nor have I ever, claimed to own Harry Potter or
anything in his universe. I do how ever claim that I own this plot.
And Victoria. She's mine so if you feel like stealing her (though I don't
see why anyone would) please ask first.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The harder you fall the higher you bounce.
She's not as bad as we all thought she was, Pansy I mean. I was one of those people who didn't get teased - I was never noticed enough to get teased. Pansy and I ran into each other as I was returning to the corridors that I had been haunting that morning. She was running along calling for something, I didn't catch what. When she saw me it was as though it was the first time she actually had looked at me. The she grabbed me muttering "You'll do"
That was the afternoon that changed my life but I had no way of knowing it then.
I was pulled into a room with several other girls in my year, I recognised two of them. Harry walked in next with Draco ... his sworn enemy? I was gaping and I knew it, so to dragged my gaze from them and studied the room. Cold, dark, wet and green. Like all Slytherin rooms ... I don't know why they even bother with the green ... it's not like anyones really going to notice it anyway ... dumb.
When Draco started to talk I turned to Harry and looked at him, he was unaffected and staring off into space.
"Virginia!"
I snapped around when I heard my name being called, Draco wanted my attention for some reason or other. I gave him the privelliage of my looking at him and replied "What?"
"What?! I just asked you a question and you ignored me. Maybe you should go back up to Gryffindor ... wait a minute who invited you here anyway - wasn't this supossed to be a non - Gryffindor thing? No offence Haz"
'Haz? Since when has Harry been called anything but Harry? Bloody Slytherins ...'
"Gin?" Harry's voice cut through my thoughts, he sounded inquisitive but not all there.
"WHAT?!"
"Draco asked you if you understood the meanings of this meeting - and what you are doing here"
"Pansy brought me and I don't give a FUCK why you're all sitting in a dank, damp, bland room discussing the dooings of a lunitic that isn't even a pureblood!" I shocked myself and everyone else into silence. I don't think I'd ever said that much to anyone at one time - ever. I saw Harry slightly nod at Pansy and she pulled out her wand and threw a hex at the rest of the girls in the room, they got up and practically ran out of the room.
"What did you do to them?" I asked Pansy
"Gave 'em a shock and sent 'em on their way, we've got who we need. You knew that Moldy-Wart wasn't a pureblood and you don't seem to like him. That was the requirements on the notice wasn't it boys?"
Harry and Draco nodded, each looking slightly scared at the formidal 15 year old holding her wand. I couldn't help but wonder if she had ever done an unforgivable.
"What notice?" I asked.
Draco looked at Pansy and went to slap her, Pansy jumped behind Harry and Draco glared.
"She didn't see the notice! Why in the hell was she here then Pans? Did you feel like bringing her to see what would happen when she saw the dark mark? Did you think that she would handle it? With the grace she needs to?" Draco pretty much screamed at Pansy.
"Oh my god Draco, SHUT UP! I brought her because she was wondering around the dungeons and I thought it would be funny for Hazza's love interest to be involved and yeah I think that she would have the grace and poise needed to be a death eater ... what do you think Haz?"
"First of all Pans - don't ever do that to me again and second I personally think it was a good choice. Who'd ever suspect a Weasley? I now have someone in my house to plot with and maybe we can even get her moved up into our grade. Or aleast some of our classes ... "
I sat there taking it all in. These idiots wanted me to go behind my mothers back and become a death eater and i couldn't believe that it was Harry Potter of all people who was pushing me. What happened to the Light and the Dark? The resistance? Those people who have put their lives on the line to keep him safe? I guess that didn't matter to him anymore. I had to say something, so I did.
"Ok let me get this straight. This notice that you are going on about - was a "Death Eater Sign up" sheet? You were advertising it in the dungeons in the well used areas with a glamour charm so that only those who were looking for a way out would see it ... I wonder why I didn't ..." Pansy looked a little suprised that I had managed to come up what had happened really quickly and had the guts to say anything outloud.
"Well yeah, but ... how did you know? It's not like your a brain or anything ..." Ah the nice way to say 'Sorry Gin, you're just not smart enough to be involved in anything that we do. No offence!' Bloody heck! 'Course I was offended ... What did Pansy know about me? Stupid bitch. I'd show her ... one day.
"Pfft. Thats nice, excuse me I think I'll go back up to Gryffindor tower and do something useful - like homework." I attempted to walk off but Draco grabbed me and instead of recoiling like the moron he was, refused to let go no matter how I struggled. After a while I stopped struggling as it became apparent I wasn't going to get anywhere. 'Draco ... hated me ... why? Hey, he doesn't actually smell so bad and he's not cold ... he's warm ...' The grip lessened and suddnely he let go of me. Pansy said something to them in another tounge, one that someday I too would learn. They left and Pansy asked me to sit down on the chairs that had been conjured.
"Ok Virginia, Gin - what do you like to be called?" Pansy said, actually sounding interested.
"Gin ... whatever just don't call me Ginny ... I hate that name! Stoopid Ron thinks it suits me. Him and that Collette slut!" I replied grimicing as I talked about Ron and his latest.
"Oh, I take it you've met Collette? She was one of us, but decided that cursing people was no fun and started to hex them. Which is why she's a slut ... the only useful hexes that can be used upon humans are the ones which dull the mind or body. She uses that to her advantage and fucks anything that walks. I mean anything!"
"Well you do realise that everyone in this school thinks that you are like her, even worse. But you're not are you?" It was a statement, not a question and Pansy realised that as I said it. She just shook her head and shrugged.
"Let them think what they want to think. I bet you didn't know that that mudblood skank Hermionie has a thing for fucking Slytherins did you? It's disgusting. I'm the only one that gets offended and then I end up cursing her - literally, not verbally"
"So thats where the spots came from? You know, you're a lot smarter then you let the public think - does Moldy-Wart know?" I was being nosey but she didn't care.
"No, and I want to keep it that way. Ok enough chit-chat, you're probably wanting to know why we even organised a sign up. We wanted to start an undercover branch of death eaters, but we're not call death eaters. We are the death stalkers, we stalk the original death eaters and if we can, kill them. Of course its not a bunch of 15 year olds verses the much older, uglier death eaters. There are higher level death stalkers, like Professor Snape. Basically we are the Dark version of the resistance squad. I am one of the leaders, you met the other two. Drake and Haz were one of my first members, yeah I came up with the concept, I got people interested but it was those two that got everyone to join. Haz turned those who we're close to him and could be trusted not to tell anyone and Dracke turned every Slytherin and many Hufflepuffs that weren't already involved in either the resistance or the dark lord. As I am one of the founding leaders I am respected and feared, well to my followers anyway. Im just the ex Slytherin slut to everyone else and as much as I would love to run into the great hall and claim everything that I have ever achieved the only people I care about already know so there's no use." Pansy stopped took a breath and waited for my comments. I didn't have any so she conitnued.
"I, being the brains behind everything managed to get Drake to do whatever I wanted him too and I had people flocking to me because he told them too. What I wanted however was someone who has been put on a pedistal and worshipped by the light, for the light ... " I cut her off
"So thats where Harry comes in? This is ingenious really - no one would ever think of him, out of all people, to be involved with the dark." Pansy nodded and said
"Thats what I thought. But convincing him was the hardest thing I have ever done. But he's sworn to me now so there's nothing anyone can do. Now do you want to join?" Pansy asked, sugar coating her voice.
"Look you don't need to sugar coat your voice sweety," Mine, dripping with honey was suddenly cold and clipped "I'm in!"
Pansy's face lit up and she squealed "Yay - uh I mean ... very good. If Drakes a bastard to you, don't take it personally its the way he is. With everyone including me ... he just doesn't show it in public. Haz is Haz, nice to all until you take something he likes then you'd watch out. The only reason the Slytherins even accept him is bacuase he brought down Cedric Diggory ... sure he was good for a fuck but he had corrupted so many of the hufflepuffs to the light and they wouldn't even listen to Haz anymore."
I was amazed, this time yesterday I had been moping around my dorm trying on make up and working out how to lose a few kgs, now I was sitting in a dark room with a Slytherin Goddess! I was stoked.
Pansy smiled at me and got up saying something about classes. I jumped up, thanked her and piss-bolted to charms. I made it with 0.3994 seconds to spare.
That night whilst I was sitting in the common room I noticed signs everywhere about the death stalker leauge and I even saw Ronald looking at one, though when I looked again it was a notice for a chess club.
Pansy sent me an owl around an hour later and it said that if I wanted to talk to her at all that I didn't need to hesitate, I could come up to her in the hall way if I wanted.
I fell asleep that night thankful that I finally had a friend who knew about my dark thoughts and used it to her advantage.
