Ginny woke up in the living room of the old Riddle house. It was
surprisingly clean for a house that hadn't seen much use in the past forty
five years. A green sofa stood near the window that allowed he moonlight
to shine through.
She looked up and realized that she was completely surrounded by a circle of Death Eaters.
"Where am I? What's going on?" she questioned, getting to her feet.
No one answered her.
"When my father hears about this.." She attempted to pull a Draco.
"When your father hears about this what?" Lucius stepped forward, his face hidden behind his mask. "Call the Muggle police?"
The Death Eaters laughed.
"That will do." Voldemort stepped from the shadows. Ginny's eyes went wide with fear as he towered over her. "Miss Weasley, do you know why you are here?"
"Because I'm friends with Harry Potter?" she backed up away from him, huddling on the floor.
"Harry Potter? Why is it that everything has to come back to Harry Potter? Don't be foolish."
Ginny was trembling with terror. "What do you want then?"
"Ginny, dear why are you so afraid? Is it my appearance?" Voldemort smiled sweetly at her. "Maybe this will ease your fear." As he spoke his shape and voice changed. He looked like the sixteen year old Tom Riddle again.
He was right, it did help. Ginny got to her feet and walked over to him.
"Let me go." She pulled her wand from a pocket and pointed it him.
Tom Riddle laughed at her. "Or else?"
"Ill hex you." Ginny attempted to sound bold.
"Such a pretty face." He reached up and touched her pale cheek. His hand looked normal but his skin still felt like dried out fruit.
She shuddered.
"It's a shame to lose such a pure creature like you." Tom said, his blue eyes sparkled in the candlelight. Hermione laughed to herself at pure being a word that described Ginny Weasley.
"What are you going to do to me?" Ginny backed away, forgetting she had a wand in her hand.
"Why, Miss Weasley, you have a very important job. You're going to assist my newest servant in learning a few spells.
"I don't know any spells."
"Oh you don't need to know any spells." Tom said backing away and transforming back to Voldemort. He looked up at Hermione who was hidden behind her mask. "If you'll please."
Hermione took a deep breath.
Ginny looked confused.
"Imperio!" Hermione yelled pointing her wand at Ginny.
Ginny's expression went blank and she stood up straight, not shaking anymore. She walked over to Voldemort, unblinking. "Lord Voldemort I think you are all powerful and the greatest wizard who has ever lived." She said robotically. Voldemort smiled evilly and approvingly at Hermione.
"Next one." He said, enjoying himself.
Hermione took a deep breath and fixed her wand on Ginny who had turned to face her, her face full of fear again.
"Crucio!" Hermione yelled.
Ginny fell on the floor, yelling in pain, on her hands and knees. She looked back up at Hermione, beads of sweat on her pale forehead. She didn't appear to be in pain anymore and Hermione heard Bellatrix give off a small but sharp laugh.
Voldemort looked disappointed.
Hermione pointed her wand at Ginny again. "Crucio!"
Ginny yelled again, but quickly got to her feet.
"I'm disappointed." Voldemort finally said. Hermione didn't understand what was the problem. Why couldn't she perform the curse?
"Lord Voldemort, if you would allow me to speak with her for a moment." Snape spoke up before anyone could say anything else.
"Alright, make it quick."
Snape lead Hermione out of the room. She tore off her mask.
"Why cant I do it?" she shouted angrily.
"You need to mean it. It's a bit like conjuring a Patronus. You think happy thoughts. With the cruciatus you need to think thoughts of hatred. You have to do it, Granger or else they'll kill you."
Hermione nodded and slipped her mask back on and walked into the living room.
"Are you quite ready?" Lucius said, crossing his arms.
"Yes." Hermione said angrily pointing her wand at Ginny again. "Crucio!"
Again, Ginny fell to her knees, but looked back up at Hermione. She laughed.
"Some Death Eater you'll be. You cant even curse a fifteen year old girl." She slowly stood up.
"Ooh I like her spite." Bellatrix laughed evilly.
Hermione suddenly felt flooded with emotion. She thought of all he things that bothered her all at once. Bellatrix knocking Sirius through the veil, Draco calling her a Mudblood, Harry sulking around, Ron and his constant bickering, her entire life for the past six years being a tangled mess, Ginny sleeping around with every guy she met, failing a class in school, the Dementors, the suppression of House Elves, it all flooded to her at once.
She screamed in an uncontrollable rage and ripped her mask off and pulled her hood down.
"Hermione?" Ginny's blue eyes opened to their full extent in surprise and hurt.
"Crucio!!!!" Hermione yelled with out another thought. Ginny screamed in agony as she fell to the ground twitching. Her arm spasmed until it broke itself, her leg shaking. As the curse wore itself off Ginny lay sobbing on the floor.
"Nicely done, Miss Granger." Voldemort praised. From his place between Lucius and Peter.
"Thank you, my lord." "Now finish her." He ordered, the praise gone from his voice.
Hermione understood. Voldemort wasn't going to kill Ginny as she had initially thought. She was going to do it. She was going to take her friends life. It was the price she would pay for freedom.
"Is it worth it?" he conscious tugged.
Yes. It was worth it to have freedom and not live in fear anymore.
Hermione raised her wand to Ginny, who saw her demise coming. She shut her eyes. She would never understand why Hermione switched to the other side.
"Adava Kedavra!" she roared. There was a flash of green that illuminated the black masks of the people around her.
"Excellent." Voldemort smiled, looking down at the lifeless body of Ginny Weasley.

I know your evil sides were all cheering on the sad death of Ginny Weasley. My first instinct was of course feed her to the Death Eaters. Then I thought it would be much more interesting to have Hermione do it. Chapter 8 is coming with more Death Eater yumminess I promise.
