"If you want to kill him, you've got to get through me first", Draco said.

Virginia stood in front of him. She didn't look happy or amused. She looked angry and outraged. For a moment, she looked deeply into his eyes as if to hypnotize him. Her dark black orbs forced his silverish grey eyes to open up his soul to her. She was getting into his head and his mind. All of a sudden, Draco saw fog and Virginia was very misty. She didn't look like Virginia though; she was in Ginny's form. The soft red auburn hair and the dark brown eyes accompanied by tears.

"Draco.... Why are you doing this? Don't you love me anymore? Why are you putting yourself in this position? Draco...." her voice played in his head.

Her voice was hoarse and it was as though she was almost on the verge of tears. An image of her stood in front of him. She stood there in front of him, looking so broken. She looked into his eyes and brought the feeling of guilt in him. Tears were falling down her cheek as though as he had betrayed her. The look of betrayal in her eyes was heartbreaking.

"If you loved me, you would have joined me. Be with me, Draco. Do not leave on my own, please. Just let me finish my job and join me. Draco..." she pleaded.

Draco stood, stunned. He was breaking in the insides. He couldn't stand the sight of Ginny crying in front of him. He longed to comfort her and bring her into his arms. She stood there in front of her looking so fragile. The image of Ginny crying in front of him was more than just heartbreaking, it was tearing him apart. He dropped his wand and reached out for her. Just when he was about to touch her..........

"Expelliarmus!" someone shouted.

Draco snapped. The image of Ginny crying broke into a million pieces as if it was a mirror. Virginia was lying of the ground due to the unexpected blast she got from Ron. Draco saw both Ron and Hermione on their feet and they were prepared to strike Virginia down at any time at all. Virginia groaned in pain as she stood up. They had managed to hurt her somehow. Blood was dripping down her forehead. Virginia felt her forehead and saw blood in her hands. She seemed so confused.

"You hurt me! You have injured me!" she shouted.

Her looks was beyond anger. She pointed her finger at Rob and lifted her finger up. As she did that, Ron was lifted up by his collar. Ron tried to squirm but he was afraid that he was going to fall because it was actually quite high from where he was. The corrupted Fawkes was hovering around him and was pecking him every so often.

"People, a little help here!" Ron shouted.

"Ginny! You've got to stop what you're doing! You're only hurting yourself", Hermione shouted.

It was obvious that her cries were in vain. Hermione raised her wand towards Virginia and shouted the first thing that came to her mind.

"Rictus Siempra!" Hermione shouted.

A bolt of lightning came out of Hermione's wand and struck Virginia down to the ground. Ron fell to the ground on his ass and his elbow. The impact that hit his elbow was enough to break it and broke it he did. Dumbledore came to him and muttered a healing spell, healing the broken bone. Draco and Hermione both got to Ron and helped him stand up. They managed to get their wands and held it up together. The three of them stood right in front of Dumbledore, waiting for Virginia to do her worst.

Virginia stood up, looking very upset indeed. A sudden change of energy came towards her from the glowing locket on her neck. She was then engulfed in an energy of flame. A blinding light had managed to cover her in the flame itself. Draco, Hermione, Ron and Dumbledore covered their eyes with their hand. The heat was also getting to them.

"Protecto Alliarmeas!" Dumbledore shouted.

Dumbledore shouted a protecting spell and it managed to put all four of them in an invisible ball. The heat turned the ground red and Virginia was still in the flame. Moments later, she appeared out of the flame. When she opened her eyes, they all gasped. Her eyes had turned from black to red. The four stood on their ground. Dumbledore was as calm as ever. He stepped back to get Fawkes back. The bird had been injured due to the blast that Virginia had made during her transformation. The three stood in their invisible ball, in fear of Virginia.



* *



Virginia had her focus to the three people in front of her. Then, all of a sudden, she started hissing as if she was speaking Parseltongue. Dumbledore had Fawkes in his arms and was stroking it even if it was still corrupted. He managed to mutter a few words of healing to heal the bird. The flame turned orange and red again but Fawkes was still down. Virginia's focus was no longer on him. She had wanted to kill the three people that managed to hurt her. The locket was reminding her of them. The things that they have done to hurt her.

"Ginny! Get out of the way, you're only distracting us!" Ron shouted.

"This is not the kind of thing for you to do!" Ron shouted.

"Would you stop following us around?!" He shouted.

~*~

"Sorry Gin but we've got to exclude you out of this", Hermione said.

"Ron's right, you are only going to distract us", Hermione said.

"You can't come with us, you don't belong with us", Hermione said.

~*~

"What do we have here? Another Weasel that's from the trash", Draco said.

"Get out of my way Weasel! You're ruining the air by breathing it!" Draco insulted.

"Why Weasley, can't even afford to send a better looking robe?!" Draco said.

Virginia felt hurt. She felt so betrayed. After all of those years, she had been behind them and she had even become their doormat but they never accepted her. For all those times that she had cried, alone. They were never her friends. They were never there for her. They were always there to put her down for whatever she had done. She couldn't forgive them. She spoke in Parseltongue to get all the reptiles she knew in the room to come and help her kill those people that had caused her so much of pain.

In a few moments, hissing noises were coming from all parts of the room and snakes of different kinds appeared. Some were dangerous, some were poisonous and some were just plain huge. They all surrounded the three. Luckily, the three were in protection balls but they were still afraid. The snakes were trying their best to get into the balls and the protection barriers were failing the three. They had no choice but to fight the snakes with their wands. They managed to mutter every single spell and charms that they had learned for all seven years in Hogwarts.





* * *



"Ginny! You've got to stop what you're doing!" Ron shouted.

"Listen to us, you're only going to hurt yourself", Hermione shouted.

"Gin, listen to us. Stop this now!" Draco shouted.

Virginia covered her ears. She didn't want to listen to them. They have hurt her so much. She felt anger taking over her. The snakes had managed to get through the protection barrier and the three were using their wands to dispose them. The locket was reminding her about all the things that they had done to her and this brought even more anger to her heart. The dark power was consuming her.

"No! You all have hurt me endlessly. You never accepted me for who I am! You made me a doormat! You walked all over me! No matter how hard I try to be with you guys, you shunned me out and ignore me as if I was never there!" Virginia shouted.

The three looked at her. The snakes had all stopped.

"There were moments where I tried to end my life but I couldn't because I always thought that maybe one day if I tried hard enough, I would be accepted! I would be a part of the group but no! I never did! So in my first year, I let Tom take over me. He understood me. He knew how I felt! I let him leave me with the curse! He told me that he will always be there for me and he had! He kept his promise to me! He kept me and protected me from where you all never did!" She shouted in anger.

Ron's face fell. Hermione couldn't help but cry. Her tears were coming out because she felt so bad. Draco was getting paler than he already was. Dumbledore was quite. There was a moment of silence.

"You all never truly cared for me. You are all liars, you don't care what happens to me", Virginia said, bitterly.

Another moment of silence took over.

"You're wrong, Gin. You know that deep inside, we all do care for you. Everything we do, we were just trying to protect you from the outside world because we care", Draco said.

Draco walked towards her. Virginia looked up to see Draco. She couldn't be hurt by him. She waved her hand and a blast of energy hit him. Ron and Hermione stood there, shocked. Draco fell to the ground but he got up again.

"Gin, I told you that I will protect you and I had kept my promise. I told you that I love and I still do. Why are you doing this to yourself? You know that I'm not lying to you", Draco said.

Virginia covered her ears. She didn't want to listen to the lies that she had heard all her life. The locket was also taking effect. Ron and Hermione took their cue.

"You're my sister, Gin. I can't let things hurt you. That was the reason why I told you that you can't join us. I don't want you to get hurt", Ron said.

"Ginny, listen to us. We do care for you. We had to do what we did to protect you", Hermione said.

Virginia held out her hand and them and sent an energy ball to hit them both down, unconscious. It hit them but they just fell down to their knees. She was confused and she was scared. The dark side continued to corrupt her mind. It sent dark images to her. It kept sending dark images to her mind. Two different shades took over her. One was red and one was black. It kept battling between her. She kept attacking the three with energy blasts. The three fell to their sides, weak from her attacks. They didn't give up on her. They knew that they had done things in the past to hurt her but they did it for her own good.

"Ginny, please stop!" Ron and Hermione shouted.

Virginia sent another blast of energy to knock them out and she succeeded in it. The moment the blast hit them, they fell unconscious. Draco still stood, holding his injured arm. He walked up to her even when she kept blasting him. She stepped back with every step he made to her. She didn't want him to come near her. She was scared. She didn't want to get hurt inside. She had felt too much.

* * * *



"Gin, you've got to stop this", Draco said, gently.

Virginia closed her eyes and kept stepping back as she kept blasting him. The blasts were growing weaker and weaker. She didn't want to listen to him. When she opened her eyes, she saw his eyes, pleading her to stop. She couldn't. She didn't want to stop. The locket managed to send even more memories to her.

"Don't come any closer. You don't want me to blast your life away", she threatened.

Draco didn't take heed over her threats. He walked towards her and reached out for her. She shivered when he touched her. The moment he touch her, her eye color changed from red back to black. She shook away from his grasp.

"Why can't you let the past go, Gin? It doesn't matter what they have done to you in the past. They care for you too much and it's hurting them to see you like this", Draco said.

Virginia looked at him. Tears were trickling down her cheek. Then, she started shaking her head as if to ignore whatever he had just said to her. The flame had also left her. She looked ever more confused. Still, Draco went to her, to hold her in his arms. She stiffened and even held her hand at his heart. He let her do so. Then, he reached out for a blade which was in his pocket and took it out. She looked even more confused. He closed in to her and placed the blade in her hands. Tears kept falling down her cheek.

"I will kill you! Stop what you're doing", Virginia yelled.

Draco didn't stop. He leaned in to her. One hand holding her hand with the blade and the other holding her cheek.

"I'm not stopping you, Gin. It hurts me to see you this way. I love you too much. If you really want to do this, I'm not stopping you. You have already had your hand over my heart. You are what my life is about. I don't want to join the dark side. I rather be killed by you", he said, leaning in and claiming her lips.

Just as their lips touched, he held her hand up and stabbed his own heart with her hand. Tears flowed down Virginia's cheek even more as she felt what was going on.

"I love you, Gin" he said, before falling.

He kissed her again right before he fell. His warm lips was still on hers and the next moment, he had fallen down in front of her. The blade was still on her hand and blood was flowing down her hand. Her hands shook, tears fell down and she saw Draco's blood on her own hands. She had killed him. He had let her kill him on his own will.

I love you, Gin.

She heard it over and over again.

What have I done?

Tears fell as she fell to her knees next to his lifeless body. She placed her hand over the wound where she had stabbed him. Blood was flowing out. She tried as far as possible to let her energy heal it but it won't.

"Draco!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed.

She cried and cried but she couldn't heal him. Flashbacks of the memories they both shared flashed before her.



*Memory flashback*

"I never thought I'd ever see you visit me, Weasley"

"How did I fall in love with you?"

"Looks like this is the beginning of a very strange friendship"

"Is that so, Weasley? Are you saying that you are not even a bit attracted to me?"

"Well Gin, if you held on to me, you wouldn't find yourself unbalanced" "Gin, don't ever say that you are not worth protecting because I love you"

"That's what's going to happen to you if I don't protect you, love"

"Please accept it, Gin. I want you to wear it all the time because I want you to know that you are loved, all the time by me and with this locket, I give you my solemn promise that I will be here to protect you as long as I can"

"You're not the only one down on your knees, love. I am as well, more than you can ever imagine and think about"

"You look beautiful tonight"

"Ginny, do you mind doing me the honour of dancing with me?"

"Ginny, I've got no choice. It's either me or you. I'm too much in love with you to let you go. So please, Gin, don't make me decided against my own"

"I'm sorry, Gin but I've got to go"

"I'm not stopping you, Gin. It hurts me to see you this way. I love you too much. If you really want to do this, I'm not stopping you. You have already had your hand over my heart. You are what my life is about. I don't want to join the dark side. I rather be killed by you"

"I love you, Gin"



*end of memory flashback*



She held his hand in her hands and cried. She had lost him. She felt for a pulse but she couldn't find it.

"Draco! You can't leave me here, please don't" she cried.

He didn't reply. That was when she saw the blade near her. She did the first thing she could think of. She held the blade up and stabbed it into her own chest. She felt pain for a while and she saw her life flashing before her. Then, she fell into darkness. She could no longer see anything; she just fell into the darkness as it consumed her sight.
