After the incident between Elliot and Draco, Ron and Harry become his best 'mates'.

"It was an honest mistake, seriously."

"So what, everyone has always wanted to do that!"

"Hmm.. Maybe but I have nothing against him personally." Elliot still didn't understand why Ginny's brother hated her boyfriend, at his house; everyone had to agree on the daughter's boyfriend before they got together.

During that week, Elliot and Ginny trained in the Forbidden forest and she had learnt the stunning spell, 'Stillianos' and the counter, 'Gulino', she also learnt the torture curse, it took a bit longer as Ginny was not too enthusiastic, and she also taught Elliot the disarming spell, Elliot told her that it would of come in handy before.

As the days to Halloween tightened, DADA lessons were now spent solely on to train people to defend themselves and how to attack, not too much, but enough to stun them.

When the day before Halloween came, Draco still hadn't asked Ginny to the ball, she was getting nervous, 'What if he had someone else? What if he was only using her?' she stopped thinking there because it was too horrible to bear.

It was Saturday and Ginny went to Draco's and he was already waiting, Ginny suddenly realised something, 'They only ever have sex, shower, eat then go, they never really spent much time with each other.' Whenever she felt like there was no one she could talk to, not even Draco, she always had Elliot, he would turn into a dog and Ginny would carry him down to the lake and night and they would just sit there, enjoying each other's company.

"Hey, Ginny?"

"Mmmm?" Ginny answered, secretly hoping that he would ask her to the dance.

"Mmmm... I don't know if we should go to the dance together.." And his voice trailed off.

"WHAT!! I spend all this time with you, and, and you don't even ask me to a stupid dance!!" Ginny yelled as she started to get up, 'If THIS was love, she certainly didn't want to feel it.' She got up before Draco could stop her, and left.

Ginny was in the library all day, not doing anything, whenever the librarian came by, she picked a book up and began looking at it.

"Hey." Whispered a soft voice behind her.

"Mmmm?" she said, turning around and looking Elliot right in the eyes.

"Oh, hi Elliot!" She said happily, she was glad he was here; she could do with his company.

"I thin it's about time to practice, you know what!" he said, making her drop her book with a loud CLUNK.

"Are-are you sure?" He nodded

"It's less then 5 hours away, we have to!" he said sternly, yet, Ginny could see the fear in his eyes; she knew that he wanted to protect her. "Anyway." he started sheepishly. "I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me tonight?" he asked blushing. "But, if you're going with Draco, I don't mind."

"Sure!"

"Really? Yes!" he whispered fiercely but so that the librarian couldn't here.

They went to the forest, everything looking a bit eerie, as it was the afternoon. Ginny took out her wand; she had a frightened look on her face.

"Ok, I got information that the spell in my time and yours are the same as before." Ginny laughed with relief, she didn't think that two were too great, let alone one.

"So, (He raised his wand and Ginny followed.) On the count of here, I want to say (I don't know how it's spelt so, you know.) Adava Keradava."(Again, I warn that I don't know how to spell it.) and he flicked in wand in a sort of, flicky fashion

"1

"2

"3!"

"Ada. (You know the rest)!" Suddenly, a green light whipped out of her wand and smashed the rock into bits; she got so scared that she dropped her wand in shock.

"Well if you can do that for about a minute, no prob. Offcourse, minus the wand dropped." He said in a sort of 'funny' but not 'ha ha' just like a sick-twisted joke, catch my drift?

Ginny went upstairs after practising so she wouldn't drop it; she was scared about using it in only 2 hours.

Ginny got ready and looked at herself in the mirror, she had a beautiful royal blue robe on which clashed nicely with her hair which fell on it wavy with a little bit of frizz, thanks to Hermione's bottle of, stuff, that she herself used two years ago.

Ginny went down and waited for Elliot, then, he came striding down, and even the boys gasped as he strolled down the stairs. With his armified body and his blonde, almost silver hair and black, almost red eyes, his dark black robes fitted nicely with Ginny's outfit. Ginny was beaming as he came down, took the arm he held out and walked out, she didn't even notice the girls watching in admiration as they stood next to their flimsily, clumsy boys.

Elliot and Ginny were talking, Ginny seemed nervous as she held her wand tightly in the pocket she made in her Dress robes; Elliot did the same.

"So, where'd you learn to be a gentleman?"

"Hello, spending most of life in a family like mine or to straighten you up!" he said as Ginny laughed.

Draco heard Ginny laughed and turned to see her with Elliot, her adoring eyes locked with Elliot's. Draco felt his blood boil as he her watched her, slip into the hall so gracefully as Pansy next to her was whining that they go inside, so, he sighed and led her in.

Ron was drinking a bottle of butterbeer as he saw Ginny enter, with Elliot? He choked on his butterbeer and he pointed at Ginny when Harry and Hermione came and helped him swallow, Hermione looked up and her eyes widened as she saw Ginny with Elliot, she felt so happy, she saw how well they got on, she also noticed a pocket in Ginny's robes with something that strongly resembled a wand in it. Hermione also felt her own wand, she, Harry, and Ron had all bought their wands as Ginny gave them a warning, as they might need them tonight. She also saw some of their teachers touch their pockets whenever there was sudden movement; this confirmed it for Hermione. Draco also brought his wand, although, he was actually awaiting the moment they came in, it would give a good excuse as to attack Elliot from behind, no one would even know, he thought as he smirked.

"Wow." Whispered Elliot as they sat down, Ginny felt a tingling sensation as he looked at her and held her hand.

"What? Me or the room."

"No, 'wow' is for the room, no words describe you." He said smiling his perfect smile, Ginny laughed nervously and started to blush, no, that's an understatement, it looked like she was in the dessert for 4 days, minus the feeling of raw skin and peeling. (Yuck.)

"You're crazy you know?"

"Thankyou."

"Why must you act like a gentleman?"

"Don't you like it?"

"No, I mean, yes, it's just." She looked at Draco, biting her lips.

"I would never want yo to do anything you don't want to." Said Elliot, hopefully hoping she DID want to be with him.

"You're so nice!" Ginny said, grabbing his arm and resting her head on his shoulder, but she never closed her eyes, they both were too worried to do so.

The Halloween dance was going great, Ginny and Elliot danced to a very nice, slow song, Ginny glanced at Draco from time to time, it was true that she had always wanted Draco, but was it for love, or lust?

BANG.

Several people screamed and the teachers, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Draco, Ginny and Elliot rose their wands, everyone was running away as they advanced, about 50 'Dark Ones' came, suddenly, the shadows in the wall that Ginny took for nothing, emerged to be aurours, one by one they came out, followed by Mad-Eye Moody.

Elliot covered Ginny, like a loyal dragon to the owner, Ginny smiled in gratitude, Draco looked away.

The Dark Ones separated leaving a row between them, suddenly, a man, rode on a griffin out of the shadows, everyone gasped except for Elliot; it was the Dark Leader!

"Why, hello there, so many young ones, we have a feast here tonight boys!" His drones laughed menacingly as he smiled wickedly, now Ginny realised why Elliot was so afraid of him.

The leader had long, black hair, his eyes were flaming red and his face was white, (Voldemort with a more humanly touch.) he did not have a snake as Voldemort had but rather, a griffin, Ginny would of preferred a snake, but, the Griffin seemed to leave as the leader got off it.

"Ah yes, Elliot, I was wondering when I would have the pleasure of meeting you at last, It has many, MANY years, hasn't it? I couple of centuries maybe?" Elliot looked at The Leader, evil shot through his eyes, alarming Ginny; it was hatred as she had only seen once in Harry's eyes, pure hatred!

"And, who are these? Do they know who I am? Or have you been too afraid to mention my name, yes, I am sorry, but I have disposed the apparent 'threat' you lowly people refer to as VOLDEMORT." He ended, his laughter shook in every inch f everyone except for Elliot.

"My name is 'The Dark Lord'!!" He bellowed, everyone was still, Elliot gritted his teeth, 'The Dark Lord?' Ginny thought, 'Oh well, it sort of makes sense, the dark ones are there right?' she looked a bit stunned as she heard this.

"Mmmm.. Now, I know one of you are Riffulus?" He asked, searching the audience, then he saw Draco, so full of hatred, he knew it was he. He raised his wand at Draco, Draco looked stunned as he saw he wand at him, suddenly, and a quiet voice said, "Me."

"Who said that?" He demanded, his followers all pointed to a Girl with Ginger hair dressed in blue robes.

His lip curled as if trying to hide a laugh. "You cannot expect me to believe that a GIRL is the man who I fear?" he ended in a cold laugh.

The students were now well out of the school, Prof. Mcgon and Snape returned.

"No, I never need expect anyone to believe, I just let them find out themselves, you know, unless they are dead in the head." Ginny replied, with more confidence then she had two seconds ago.

"You have his spirit, I promise you that, but do you have what it takes?"

"I have everything I need to rid the world of the likes of you!" She screamed, only, it didn't sound like her, it sounded like someone else, like.. Riffulus!

Ginny could tell that The Dark Leader was taken by surprise, but he merely grinned.

"So, it's true then." He said, with a sneer that would make anyone recoil, who was normal.

She stood in front of everyone, as if leading her own army, in a split second; she yelled out, "We lived together! We trained together! WE DIE TOGETHER!" She bellowed the last part, and then, it begun.

Green shots flew everywhere, Harry, Ron and Hermione just started paralysing people with the spells Ginny had taught them, and were ok, Draco was killing people and was showing no mercy, he was feeling like getting some anger out of him.

Ginny was left, staring at The Lord, both holding their wands out, daring the other to move first, then, last an instinct hit her, she ducked, a green light flew over her.

"I see you have improved in your technique Riffulus!" He said.

"I see you still haven't, to much of a gloat to take your chance." She answered as if it was Riffulus answering, he looked sourly and, they fought.

They duelled each other and slashed each other's clothes as purple streaks streaked out of their wands, they kept on going, not wincing and satisfying the other opponent, but having a strong look of determination amongst their faces.

It was other in a second, The Dark Ones were out numbered, suddenly, everyone stopped and watched as one of the leaders fell down and landed with a loud thump on the ground.
