Ginny lightly pushed Tom away. She couldn't do this. She was betraying Draco. Tom studied her carefully.
"What's wrong, Virginia?" he asked, his voice laced with fake concern.
Ginny stared back. Within her mind she was battling with herself. She could so very easily give in to Tom. But what she felt for Draco was real. In a way, Tom and Draco were quite similar to each other. They were both sweet talkers, able to persuade almost anyone into anything. Both knew large amounts of dark magic, albeit for different reasons. Not to mention they could both make any girl melt. Well, Ginny wasn't sure about Tom but she guessed as much. Just like Draco, he was very easy on the eyes.
Ginny frowned. She raised her green eyes to Tom's blue ones. They were cold and lifeless. How could she ever compare Draco to Tom? Tom was evil and manipulative. Draco was not. That in itself set them miles apart. How could she even consider giving into Tom Riddle?
Ginny fixed a smirk across her face again.
"Nothing, Tom," she replied smoothly.
"Good," Tom said leering at her.
He moved closer to her, moving his lips towards hers once again. Ginny backed away a bit causing Tom to frown.
"If you are going to be my queen Virginia, it is not a wise move to refuse me," he said through gritted teeth.
Quickly, she leaned forward and planted a firm kiss on his lips.
"I'm just a little tired. Do you think I could have a few minutes rest? I promise you'll get what you want later," she replied pouting slightly.
Tom rolled his eyes.
"Ten minutes only my love," he drawled before disappearing into thin air.
Ginny sighed. She had ten minutes to work out a way to get out of this mess.
'Think Gin. Think.'

"Are you sure Albus? Delerdium? This is extremely serious."
"Severus," the Headmaster sighed, " I am one hundred percent sure this is what we are dealing with."
Snape nodded and pulled a small vial filled with clear liquid out of his robes.
"I will add a strand of Miss Weasley's hair to the potion to make it more effective," he stated, screwing the top off the potion. "Mr Malfoy, will you bring me some of her hair please."
Draco nodded solemnly. Hermoine was nervously fidgeting in her seat while Ron and Harry were looking decidedly worried. Carefully, Draco separated one strand of hair from her curly tresses and pulled it out. He handed it back to Snape.
Snape dropped it into the potion. Instantly, the potion changed to a fiery red colour.
"Who will be performing the spell?" Snape asked monotonously as he swirled the contents of the glass vial.
Dumbledore looked at the four students in front of him.
"Umm…I don't think I'm the best person to do this, Professor," Harry said hurriedly.
Dumbledore smiled. "I understand Harry."
He turned to Ron.
"Ron?" he asked looking over his spectacles at the red headed boy.
Ron sighed. "Professor, I can't even perform a simple healing spell. I don't think there's any way I could make this work."
Draco glared at him. This was his bloody sister for Merlin's sake! How could he not want to even try?
"Miss Granger," he gestured towards Hermoine.
Hermoine looked across at Draco and bit her lip. "I- I don't think I can," she answered her voice hitching slightly.
Draco glared at the dream team. What was their problem?
"I'll do it," Draco said firmly.
Dumbledore smiled. "Are you sure, Mr Malfoy, what you are getting yourself into? Something could go wrong. Are you sure?"
"What can go wrong?" Draco asked nervously.
"There is a possibility that while you are performing this spell, you will be taken into Ginny's mind yourself. If the curse it too strong, it will take you," Dumbledore replied gravely.
Draco took a deep breath.
"I'll do it," he repeated.
"Okay. If you do get taken the only way to get back out again is if the two of you say the incantation together. It is very important also that the both of you want to leave," he instructed Draco.
"What do you mean, Professor?" Draco asked suspiciously. "Why wouldn't Ginny want to leave?"
Dumbledore sighed. "Just be prepared Draco."
He nodded.
"Here is the incantation," Snape said handing Draco a piece of parchment.
He studied Snape's articulate scrawl.
Redimio nos una.
Nostrum animus.
Nostrum pectus pectoris.
Effrego malum
"So I recite this?" Draco asked looking up at his professor.
Snape nodded. "Recite it while administering the healing potion. You must concentrate as hard as you can."
Draco nodded. Swallowing nervously he took the vial from Snape's hand. He only had to take five steps to get to Ginny's side - but it felt like more. They echoed in his head as he drew closer, praying that this would work.
'It will work,' he told himself.
It had to.
Looking down at the parchment he recited the incantation under his breath so he could commit it to memory.
"Redimio nos una. Nostrum animus. Nostrum pectus pectoris. Effrego malum."
"Redimio nos una. Nostrum animus. Nostrum pectus pectoris. Effrego malum."
"Redimio nos una. Nostrum animus. Nostrum pectus pectoris. Effrego malum."
Taking a deep breath he cleared his mind of everything except the girl lying in front of him.
With shaking hands he carefully tilted her head up……….
"Redimio nos una."
…..placed the vial to her lips……..
"Nostrum animus."
……and let the potion trickle down her throat.
"Nostrum pectus pectoris."
The glass vial slowly began to empty. Draco continued saying the incantation.
"Effrego malum."
The others in the room looked around nervously at each other. Nothing appeared to be happening.
Draco placed the empty vial on the table beside Ginny's bed.
"Redimio nos una. Nostrum animus. Nostrum pectus pectoris. Effrego malum. Redimio nos una. Nostrum animus. Nostrum pectus pectoris. Effrego malum."
Draco started to feel his head spin. The room appeared blurry and his voice was distorted and unlike anything he had ever heard. It was echoing through his head. Over and over. Slowly he felt Ginny's hand slip from his own and saw the room dissolve.
Suddenly, everything was clear again. But he was not in the hospital wing. And what he saw made his chest constrict in pain. He had found Ginny.

"I'm back."
"I'm back."
"I'm back."
The last two words Ginny wanted to hear. Tom was back. She forced a smile.
"Why don't we pick up where we left off?" Tom asked suggestively.
Ginny let out a low laugh. "The dark lord wouldn't be that eager, would he?" she asked twirling a piece of hair round her finger.
"Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to talk about how stunningly exquisite our reign of evil will be?" she continued, praying he would agree.
Tom smirked. "Oh, Virginia. Nothing but you can live up to the title of 'stunningly exquisite'……………but I'm sure our reign will come a close second."
If it had been anyone else saying those words in any other situation, Ginny would have melted.
Tom stalked closer. Ginny opened her mouth to say something but Tom held a finger to her lips.
"Shhhh. You'll ruin the moment," he whispered.
Softly, he reached out and stroked her hair off her face. It was almost a tender action. But she knew it was all part of Tom's manipulation. She did have to admit though, that he was damn good at it.
He wrapped his arms gently around her waist and pulled her to him softly planting a kiss on her lips.
Tom smirked. She was breaking. He knew she wouldn't be able to resist much longer.
He leaned down and kissed her again, this time harder. He traced her lips with his tongue smirking against her mouth when she parted her lips and slipped her tongue into his mouth. They battled with each other for awhile before Tom started guiding her backwards until her back hit the stone wall.
He trailed his lips down the side of her neck while she ran her fingers through his hair. Pulling his head up she kissed him firmly. She felt a familiar feeling jolt through her body as her veins started to pulse. Heart racing she bit lightly down onto his bottom lip moaning. What was he doing to her?
He reached down and lifted her legs as she wrapped them around his waist. Ginny began to grind her hips into Tom causing the both of them to moan in ecstasy.
Ginny didn't care about what was right anymore. All she cared about was what was happening this second.
"Perfect time to produce an heir……don't you think, Virginia?" Tom whispered huskily in her ear.
She nodded slightly before capturing his lips again.
"Virginia," the cold voice rang through her ears.
Ginny froze. That wasn't Tom's voice. It was….
"Draco Malfoy," Tom drawled detaching himself from Ginny. "Seems we have a visitor my love."
Ginny slid down the cold stone wall head in her hands. For a moment there was silence.
How could she be so stupid? She felt nothing for Tom. Nothing but pure loathing. He was bending her so easily.
Draco had seen them.
She let out a loud scream of frustration.
Slowly she drew her eyes up to Draco's.
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN. Was that worth the wait? Yes, I know……it was a looooooooong wait. But there are only a few more chappies to go and I hope to have them done ASAP
You know what to do
