I wish I could wipe away the pain. It hurts so much. These wounds refuse to
heal. I can't tell myself that it's over. I want it back so much....but
it's impossible.
The pain is too real.
Ginny closed all the windows and doors in the room, blocking out all the light. She lit a couple candles to see, but that was it. She put on some old music. There were no voices, just the piano. It was beautiful, but Ginny was in too much pain to pay attention to that. She danced by herself to the music, to help numb the pain. It usually went away when she lost herself into the music. She danced for what seemed like hours, and the pain dulled a little.
She would have to go to the ball tonight, and listen to what to Angelus said. She would ignore the pain. Pretend it would go away. She'd put on a mask. She'd ignore Spike....she really hoped he didn't go. She would give all her attention to Angelus. She knew it would help save Spike, and that was enough to make her devoted to Angelus. She could do it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---------------------~~~~~~~~~~~ Ginny had a couple hours to get ready for the ball. She went into the bathroom for the sixth-year girls in Gryffindor. She was early so no one was in their yet. She decided to take a bath. She stripped out of her clothes and turned on the water.
"Need some help?" came a familiar voice from behind her.
"Angelus" she said in a voice void of any emotion.
"The one and only"
"What are you doing in here?" She asked, not even looking at him.
He came up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She could feel him breathing on her neck. She shivered.
"Why, Virginia, I've come to join you" he said and began and taking of his clothes. When he was completely nude, he gently led her to the bath tub. He did her bathing for her, washing her himself. It was one of the more erotic things she had done in her life, but she couldn't erase the pain, and dirtiness she felt. She felt like she was betraying Spike by doing this, but she handled her emotions by not showing any. She let him do what he wanted, but, luckily, he didn't demand anything of her (i.e sex). Neither of them talked the rest of the time.
After they both got out of the tub, he left, and no one else saw him, and she finished getting ready for the ball.

Harry and Hermione watched as Ginny descended the steps from her dormitory. She looked beautiful in a deadly sort of a way. She was wearing a dark red v-neck, long-sleeved shirt, a black short skirt, and red heels. Her long locks of scarlet were done up in a fancy twist that had all of her hair bundled on top of her head. She had on very dark makeup: red lipstick, black mascara and eyeliner.
"Wow, Ginny, you look beautiful" Harry exclaimed. Hermione and Ron nodded in agreement. She ignored them.
She put on her black dress robe over her outfit, but left it open, as they were all walking to the ball together.
They noticed something was wrong, but didn't think they should ask because she didn't seem to want to talk. When they reached the entrance to the ball, Angelus was standing there waiting for her. She walked to him.
"Ginny what are you do-" Ron began but was stunned into silence at the sight of his sister taking Angelus' hand.
"Are you ready Virginia?" Angelus asked
She looked at him, nodded, and pulled him in for a rough kiss. He smiled.
