Ginny had been finally been out of the Hospital Wing after several days of
sitting around doing nothing. It was her first night back in her own bed
and she was extremely nervous. She had to go to classes tomorrow. But what
was even worse was that she had to go to breakfast beforehand, he would b
there. She decided to stop thinking about it and sleep. After twisting and
turning for several minutes, she finally went to sleep.
~~------~~~~~~----------~~~~~~~~~the next day~~~~~~~~~---------------------- ~~~~~~
She walked into the Great Hall and sat next to Harry, Ron and Hermione. She was chatting along, having a merry old time, until she felt eyes boring into her. She tried to shake the feeling, but it wouldn't leave. She twisted in her seat to try to find where the stare was coming from. She looked at each one of the tables and her eyes landed on the Slytherin table. She finally found a pair of eyes focused on her, his eyes She looked away quickly, and he smirked. Just then Dumbledore made an announcement
"Quiet everyone" his voiced boomed out onto the hall.
"We will be having a Yule Ball again this year. The catch is, if someone has asked you, you will have to go with them" he said this and his eyes twinkled mischievously.
Nearly everyone had good comments or complaints about it.
"SILENCE" he said loudly, with a smile.
"We are having this because we want everyone to have a date this year, if possible" he continued.
"The dance will only be 5th years and up" 4th years and younger started complaining, and he waited until they were finished.
"If you try to get out of this, there is a spell on the school that will immediately inform me or one of the other staff members that you tried to decline to the person that invited you"
"If we are informed of that you will lose house points and get a punishment that we find suitable"
"If you already have been asked and another person asks you the spell will not work"
"Of course I know there will be some circumstances that force you to decline, so just a accept the offer and then come and see me about it"
"That is all" He finished and sat down
Ugh, Ginny thought. She could already see that this plan was shot to hell. She didn't know Dumbledore could be this evil. Maybe it was his revenge on the students, she thought jokingly. She really didn't want to know what the whole point of this was, and why Dumbledore was doing it. Didn't he see this was going to have some seriously bad results? He had to had have a good reason for doing this. She shook her head and walked out of the Great Hall.
"Well, it won't be that bad" She said to herself and sighed
"Just ignore all ugly guys coming in your direction"
She continued walking down a corridor in the direction of her next class. She was pretty sure she was the only one down there, because everyone else was in the Great Hall talking about the Yule Ball. She also hadn't seen anyone come out behind her, but she had this odd feeling that someone was following her. She looked behind her and didn't see anyone. Must be my imagination, she thought.
"AHHHHH-" She started to scream as someone shoved her into an empty classroom in the dark corridor and put a hand over her mouth.
"Hello Virginia" said a silky voice she recognized almost instantly.
OHGODOHGOD, she thought and tried to struggle. It was him.
