Chapter Three: Reaction

Ginny?

What in the world was she here for?

Obviously there was some sort of mistake. She was not as stupid as this. What did she think she was doing. Or was she even thinking at all?

At the exact moment that I saw her, my thoughts and feelings split into varied reactions.

Reaction One: What is she doing here! How could she be so stupid. Doesn't she know that she will probably be killed. What kind of idiot is she?

Reaction Two: Oh no, oh no! What if she is too weak to become a deatheater? I'll have to kill her.

Reaction Three: At last- I can see someone from my family!

Reaction Four: How would I look if my younger sister was better at being a deatheater than I was.

Reaction Five: Noone better try and hit on her. I'll kill them.

Reaction Six: Why does she not seem to be scared?

It was impossible to tell which reaction was the strongest. They were all flitting through my brain. Clouding my vision and almost making me faint. Which would not be a good idea. Then I would be considered weak and probably killed myself.

Which would, in my opinion, not be a good thing.

The other person on idiot patrol with me did not look worried about anything. That was probably because he did not have his younger sister in front of him.

The first test was coming up. Prisoner. When you had to use the forbidden curses on a prisoner. The more pain they felt and the stronger the curse was, the better you're score and the more of a chance that you would survive to become a deatheater.

Everyone survived to the end of all the tests. Then the points were added up and anyone with a score of two hundred and fifty one points would not be killed. All of the others would be.

I had enjoyed idiot patrol the last time that I did it. I had not known any of the people so I felt nothing towards them.

This was going to be very different.

A/N: The reason that this is a short is that I needed to move onto the tests next and it would be on a new chapter.
