Disclaimer: I could tell you I own everything *sees lawyer approaching and cowers under desk* on second thought... I could tell you I own nothing seeing as the lawyers are still mad at me. I kinda beat them with a stick in one of the other fics I write...they haven't forgive me yet. *watches lawyer leave and climbs out from under desk*


!!!!Note: I am only posting disclaimers every three or four chappys...it saves me time, plus it takes a while for my mind to think of anything ingenious!!!


Chapter 1:The beginning


"Virginia Weasley! We're leaving for King's Cross in one hour!" I heard mum yell from below. I wasn't ready to go back to school yet. Plus, after catching my boyfriend cheating on me, then walking in on Ron and Hermione, I felt I was surely traumatized for life.


I looked in the mirror. I had my curly auburn hair half up and was wearing my school uniform. Ha! Not for long. As soon as I got on that train, I planned to change into one of the many outfits I had bought in America while visiting Fred and George.


One hour? I looked around my room and realized I may be ready, but I wasn't even half packed yet. After I got my school crap and new clothes in my trunk, I just started randomly throwing things in until I was satisfied. Then I took my trunk downstairs and left for Platform 9¾.

"You have one hour, and not a minute more!" I flinched as the cold, heartless voice echoed into my room.


"Yes sir!" I yelled back. Seeing as I was already packed, I put extra care into looking Malfoyish. Not that it mattered, the faÇade was coming off as soon as I got on the Hogwarts Express. This summer had been the breaking point, after days and days of endless torture, Lucius had finally tried to force the Dark Mark on me. I resisted and of course I got more torture, as well as time in the dungeon, and now I'm treated like a prisoner in my own home.


I made sure I was in the entrance hall at five minutes to the hour. I herd Lucius coming down the hall and stood stock still. Thankfully he ignored me, allowing me to get in the car in peace. As we left the manor, the only thing going through my mind was how much I missed the safety of school.
