'So here we are the first day of Ginny's fifth year. This is where our story begins the real

turning point in young Ginny's life, let the story begin'

The September breeze cooled her heated face as she stepped out of the bustling train,

people pushed passed her as they went not paying attention to what was around them all

grateful to return to the safety of Hogwarts castle.

Ginny sighed staring up at the castle as the wind whipped her fiery red hair about her face,

looking around her she wondered how everyone had got through the summer. Voldemort's

attacks had began again and his army was growing in numbers with each passing day. For

the first time Ginny had regretted staying at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

Remembering what she had been told sent shivers down her spine, she had cried for days

knowing what that.thing had done to all those people. She called him a thing because he

wasn't really anything. He wasn't human. Nor beast. He was a monster something so vile it

made her stomach turn. Something so horrible it made her blood boil with fury and rage at

what he did.

Ginny sighed as she watched Harry climb off the train, his face was hollow and pale as was

her brother Ron's and her best friend Hermione's, the three had become more involved in the

order's comings and goings and the three were extremely tired. Ginny sighed remembering

how distant all three had been with her this summer, she had felt so alone and so isolated not

allowed out of her room for most of the summer she had gone back to being ignored by all

those around her.

After encouraging words from Dumbledore Ginny retired to bed saying goodnight to all and

fell into a dreamful sleep

The quiet night air was pierced by a gasp, Ginny's gasp. She breathed in her throat burned

her eyes watered she felt like choking but no sound came out it was as though she was

suffocating she could feel herself growing light headed and before she knew it she was

staring into space having no control of her body.

As though from far away a voice whispered in her ear causing her hairs to stand on end, with

no idea what it had said she suddenly stood up her bedcovers falling around her and into a

heap on the cold stone floor. Her head was screaming 'STOP!' but her body wasn't listening it

was as though someone was controlling her as though she was a puppet on strings.

Slowly she walked through the hallways of Hogwarts everything seeming so alien to her

inside she was screaming, terrified of what she was going to do where she was being taken

for as she grew nearer her destination she recognised the route. She was heading for the

girls' bathroom.

All Gryffindor courage disappeared as she stared at herself in the dusty mirror, the bleak

candle light reflected her hollow eyes, her face was pale her lips blue with the cold of the

castle.

Her mouth moved without her control and a faint hiss escaped her innocent young lips before

she knew it her nightclothes where whipping around her as she plunged further into the

darkness her hair whipped her face painfully clashing with the bitter cold oh her cheeks.

Inside she was screaming for help. For Ron. For Fred. For George. For Hermione. For Harry.

For anyone.

Landing painfully on the mossy, soggy and smelly stone floor she walked further and further

passed the heap of collapsed rock, but as grew nearer the whispering in her ear grew louder

and she could make out certain words

'Almost' and 'Darkness'

Her feet slapped on the floor causing tiny splashes in the water making marks in the filth, it

was as though the echoes of her every movement

Finally as she reached the doors a faint hissed escaped her lips again and then a load

piercing scream echoed around her like a banshee louder and louder Ginny was screaming

too struggling against a terrible grip the sound was so painful she screamed louder and louder

the sound rattled her brain

'HELP!' she screamed

'GINNY!'

Ginny opened her eyes, sweat dampened her pillow and was running down her face, her hair

was soaked and stuck to her face.

The girls she shared her dormitory were staring at her with great concern and holding her was

Hermione fear etched all over her face her grip tight concern obvious in her eyes

'Ginny calm down it was all a dream'

'But it seemed so real'

'Don't worry it wasn't' Hermione said holding her

Then a foreign voice entered her head

'Oh but it was Ginny'
