Once the sorting ceremony was over, everybody ate, Dumbledore stood up and everybody stopped talking.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! As the second years and above know we have a new flying instructor, Mr. Oliver Wood. Now he's young and says he wants to be called Oliver, because being called 'Mr. Wood' makes him feel old." He took a deep breath. "We also have a new Charms professor and head of Ravenclaw house, Miss. Penelope Clearwater. And now it's time for me to introduce the new D.A.D.A teacher! Miss. Stacey Carter! I believe Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger have met her before." He said. Ginny raised an eyebrow at Hermione. "How would he know that?" Hermione muttered. "Now that we're all known to each other, I have to tell everybody that the Forbidden Forest is well. Forbidden! And also, no student is allowed on the forth floor corridor. Now, let's all head off to bed!" He clapped.

"The forth floor corridor is forbidden? What's all that about?" Ginny asked. "I dunno." Hermione said. The teens started walking in the direction of their common room when Ginny heard somebody calling her. "Miss. Weasley! Stop!" Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron turned around to see Snape. "Yes?" Ginny asked. "I would like to talk to you. Now." Ginnys' eyes grew wide as she looked behind Snape and saw Draco. "Go ahead and go to the common room. I'll be there in a sec." Ginny said to Harry, Ron and Hermione. They nodded and walked away. Snape motioned her to follow him and Draco. "Mr. Malfoy told me when the train stopped, you were injected with something by a strange woman? And then you kept losing your balance?" Snape said. "Yes, sir. I don't know who she was. Harrys' scar hurt the whole time, too. His scar only hurts when the dark lord is near or really angry." Ginny replied as Snape was walking towards the hospital wing. "Well, we're going to run a test on you to see if we can find out what you were injected with."

Draco, Snape and Ginny walked into the hospital wing and Ginny saw Stacey. "Hey, Stacey." Ginny said. "Hey. OK, this won't hurt. I'm just gonna take a little bit of your blood." Stacey said, pointing her wand at Ginnys' arm. She muttered a spell, which caused Ginny to have a small cut. Stacey muttered another spell after getting Ginnys' blood in a vial, which healed Ginnys' cut. "OK. Time to see what's up." Stacey said. Stacey pointed her wand at the vial containing Ginnys' blood and muttered another spell. The blood glowed bright orange then brown. "Venom." Snape murmured. "Excuse me?" Ginny said. "Miss. Weasley. I don't know how to tell you this. The poison you were injected with is very poisonous, and the cure has not been seen for over a thousand years. You will most likely be.dead be the end of this school year." Snape said. Ginny had a few tears leaking from her eyes, and Snape left. Stacey frowned.

"I'm sorry. I have to go." Stacey said. Draco steered Ginny out of the hospital wing. They walked in silence, until Ginny stopped. "What?" Draco asked. "Draco. I still need you to pretend to be my boyfriend. I can't let anybody get close!" Ginny said. Draco frowned, but nodded.

Ginny ran through the portrait hole and saw Hermione sitting in an armchair. "HERMIONE! I REALLY need to talk to you!" Ginny exclaimed. Hermione nodded and stood up. Ginny and Hermione went into the fifth year girls' dorm. "Hermione, on the train, when the lights went out. A woman came into Harrys' compartment and mine. Harry's scar started hurting, and the woman injected me. With poison. Snape said the cure hasn't been made nor seen for over a thousand years." Ginny said all this really fast. Hermione had tears in her eyes. Hermione and Ginny hugged. "You can't tell anyone. Draco agreed to pretend to be my boyfriend still." Ginny said. Hermione nodded.

'Life was just getting better and better!' Ginny thought sourly.

"Did you do it?" Voldemort hissed as Cylia walked into the room. "Yes, I did." Cylia grinned. "Good. Now go to your room." He said. "Excuse me? You can't tell me to go to my room." She exclaimed. "Yes, I can. You're annoying me." Voldemort said. She rolled her eyes and opened the door. She came face to face with Lucius. "Fancy seeing you here," Cylia said sarcastically as she walked past him, bumping into him on purpose. "Master, why is she here?" Malfoy asked once he closed the door. "I told you! Once we're able to attack Hogwarts, I will take her powers and kill her. She's nothing but a nightmare. She'll get in the way," Voldemort hissed. Malfoy smiled evilly. Malfoy and Cylia NEVER got along. And her dying is what he always wanted.

"How long have we been without food?" Tina asked. "I have no idea." Cedric replied. Cylia then burst into the chamber. "Somebody please tell me why my father is a complete insufferable, ungrateful, displeased jerk?" Cylia yelled. "What happened now?" Tina asked. "I injected Weasley with a potion that will kill her because I'm the only one with the cure, and then I went to see father and he told me to go to my ROOM! AND I WAS ANNOYING TO HIM!" "Which Weasley is gonna die?" Cedric asked. "Ginny." Cylia grinned. "You're sick," Tina hissed. "Don't I know it! But it's okay, because, Tina. You're going to be released any minute now." Cylia said. Tina looked at Cylia in disbelief. Just then, Peter Pettigrew walked in holding a key. Cylia took the key and unlocked the chain. Tina rubbed her wrist while Cylia locked the chain again. "Now, go to Hogwarts and tell Dummy-Dork that he will be the one to die if he gets in my way." Cylia said. Tina blinked but nodded. Peter led Tina out and Cylia turned to face Cedric.

"You know, you really suck." Cedric said. "Hmph! You suck too. Maybe sucking is contagious around here? Too bad!" Cylia said as she ran out of the chamber. Cedric shook his head. She could be really immature sometimes. No matter how much he hated her, she was funny sometimes.

Hogwarts had been the same as ever. It had been a week since school started, and Ron and Hermione were having a heated argument about him spilling his coffee on her 3-foot Potions essay.

"SNAPE IS GOING TO KILL ME, RONAL WEASLEY! IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, HE HAS BEEN UNBEARABLE THIS YEAR! AND NOW I'M NOT GOING TO GET ANY SLEEP BECAUSE OF YOU BEING CLUMSY!" She shouted.

Nobody had noticed the American transfer student, Annabelle Sanders looking like she was in a trance.

"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, HERMIONE! JUST RE-WRITE IT! YOU HAVE A BIG BRAIN, I'M SURE YOUR REMEMBER WHAT YOU WROTE DOWN!" He shouted back.

Annabelle stood up and closed her eyes. "Abby? Are you OK?" Colin asked. She opened her eyes. Her eyes were gleaming red and her nose started changing into slits. She ignored Colin and walked towards Harry. She started speaking, but her words were more like hisses. She was speaking English of course, but it had a hissing sound to it. "The Dark Lord wants Harry Potter to suffer," She hissed before turning towards Ginny. She whipped her wand and pointed it at Ginny. "Crucio!" She hissed. Ginny started writhing and twitching. Ron looked horrorstruck. Ginny was screaming in agony, Annabelle dropped her wand and fell to her knees. Her nose went back to normal and her eyes were red anymore. Ginny was sweating and panting. "What-happened?" She panted. Annabelle looked at everybody. "I swear. I didn't-I wouldn't-I couldn't-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I couldn't control myself!" She cried. "Hermione, get Dumbledore." Seamus said. Hermione nodded and ran out of the portrait hole. She soon returned followed by Dumbledore and McGonagall. Ron was holding Ginny close to him as if she were to break any moment. "What happened?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

Annabelle started crying and Seamus hugged her. "Hey, you said you couldn't control yourself," He whispered.

"Will Mr. Potter, Miss. Weasley and Miss. Sanders please come to my office?" Dumbledore asked. Harry, Annabelle and Ginny followed Dumbledore out of the portrait hole. McGonagall looked at everybody before turning her heel and followed them out.

The whole common room broke into chatter about what just happened. "My.. Sister. Under.. A unforgivable. I never want to see that again." Ron said. Hermione hugged Ron. "She's okay now." She whispered. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. He leaned in, and so did she. Their lips touched and Seamus started howling with laughter. Hermione and Ron ignored him and continued to kiss. Dean and Parvati just walked in and Parvati yelled, "YOU ALL OWE ME FIVE GALLEONS!" Hermione pulled away. "Excuse me? You all had a bet on how long until we started dating?" Hermione sputtered. Parvati grinned and nodded.

This evening had been interesting.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Annabelle had told Dumbledore what all she remembered feeling. She apologized at least fifty times. Every time she apologized, he said it wasn't her fault. She still felt bad. "Ginny, you know I would NEVER try to hurt you, don't you?" Annabelle asked. Annabelle and Ginny shared the same dorm. "Of course." Ginny said and turned her attention to Dumbledore. "She won't get in trouble will she?" "Of course not!" Dumbledore said. "Sir, what did she mean by the dark lord wants me to suffer? We all know that!" Harry said. "I don't know. But you and Ginny need to look out for yourselves." Dumbledore said before excusing them.

When they got back to the common room, Hermione and Ron were blood red.

Seamus was taunting them. "Aww. How cute! Ickle Ronnikins and Ickle Hermies are all grown up! Kissing in the common room!"

"WHAT!?" Harry and Ginny yelled at the same time. Hermione and Ron stood up and ran out of the common room. "ABOUT TO HAVE A MAKEOUT SESSION!?" Dean yelled after them.

Ginny snickered and went to bed. Annabelle soon followed. Harry and Seamus were the only ones left in the common room. "Took long enough." Harry said talking about Ron and Hermione. Lavender was also in the common room, but asleep on a pillow in Seamus's lap. "I know." Seamus said. "Now we can tease them." Harry said. "Don't even think about it." Hermione said as she walked into the common room followed by Ron. "Enjoy your make out session?" Seamus taunted. "WE DID NOT MAKE OUT! I had to re-write my potions essay!" Hermione screamed, waking up Lavender. "Gosh, Hermione. Keep it down." Lavender said as she stood up. "I'm going to bed!" Ron and Hermione yelled in unison. They both blushed and ran upstairs. When they got to the point they had to separate, Ron kissed Hermione. "I'm glad we decided to change our minds." Hermione said. "Me too," Ron said as they both went to their own dorms.
