A/N: Hi all! I am so thrilled at all the wonderful reviews I have been getting. They make me feel so good! And that IS saying something…LOL!

I wanted to let you know that several of you have tried to figure out the significance of the vampire's name. Honestly, several of you have gotten *very* close, but no one has got it exactly right. Hang on, I swear it is coming! I will also e-mail (if you leave me a viable one) the first person who gets it correct…completely! I will also surprise you with a special character in my story (yet unseen).

I also promise to get a personal thank you out to my reviewers very soon. Things have been a bit out of whack! Sorry!

Again, I love to hear what you think about the story! AND, I like for people to keep me on my toes. If you think I have made a mistake, let me know! I'll check into it!

I also am quite aware that this is short…but I need it to be short to set up what is about to take place. Hold on everyone, this is about to get WILD! LOL!

Hugs,

LadyBrannon 

            The next few days passed quickly for the young, reunited couple. Their days were spent in class, the evenings immersed in homework or the prophecy and their nights were spent in passion.

            It was the night of the first full moon, after all of the chaos, that everyone became focused completely on Merlin.  That night, the lake that had stood quietly by the castle for millions of years, did something never seen before. The reflection of the moon in the lake did not show a large, golden ball high in the night sky. Rather, it showed the features of a feminine face with a worried, furrowed brow.

            Ginny and Draco saw the face from their window that overlooked the lake. Ginny was snuggled into Draco's chest as they relished each other and the beautiful night. Ginny was about to point out the odd reflection in the lake when Draco spoke first, "Yes, Ginny, I see it. She is here and with us. It is about to begin."

            Ron and Harry were playing wizard's chess when they saw it. Harry happened to notice the large, harvest moon and walked over to the closest window overlooking Hogwarts' grounds.

            "Bloody Hell," Harry said as he gestured for Ron to come and join him at the window.

            "What is it, Harry?" Ron asked as he joined him at the window.

            "Look, Ron," Harry said as he pointed towards the lake.

            "Harry- Harry, that is Hermione. Do you see her? That is Hermione there in the lake!" Ron was yelling by the end of his comments.

            "Yes, Ron, I see. This is exactly what Dumbledore was trying to tell us when he read the prophecy again the other night. Why didn't I see it before?"

            "What are you going on about, Harry?" Ron asked.

            "Come on, Ron. We need to get to Dumbledore's office."

            They took off at a dead run to Professor Dumbledore's office. They arrived just as Draco and Ginny were about to enter the passage way up the stairs.

            "You saw it too." Draco said.

            "Yes, we did. Seeing Dumbledore for the same reasons then?"

            They all nodded in agreement and were soon knocking on Professor Dumbledore's office door. The door opened and they slowly entered.

            Dumbledore was standing with his back to them. He was staring out a window, obviously looking at the reflection in the lake.

            "It has begun." Dumbledore said without turning around. The other four members of the room looked at each other and frowned.

****** MUCH LATER THAT EVENING*******************

            "Mistress Amberlin, is you ready?" the small House Elf timidly asked the beautiful, blonde woman in front of them.

            The woman nodded in agreement, sneered at the House Elf and prepared to leave. She put on her midnight black, velvet robe and began twirling in a viciously tight circle, the robe billowing perfectly. Everything in the room began blurring and soon the woman was gone.

******A FEW MINUTES LATER AT HOGWARTS*********

            "Hello, my sweet, I have wanted to see you for a long time."

            "Get away from me, you crazy bitch."

            'Tut-Tut, is that anyway to speak to your elder? I thought you had better manners than that. Your father and mother always had such good manners. Never mind, we will work on that later. Come here."

            "No!"

            "My dear, do you really believe that you have a choice. Oh, how sweet, you DO think you have a choice. You don't. Now get up."

            "I will not."

            Amberlin raised her right hand and waved it towards the body lying in the bed. It rose as if she had performed a levitating spell. She put her right hand back to her side and the body flew to her. She tugged the dead weight against her body, as it was really meaningless to her brute strength.

            She began spinning again. Soon she and the body were back at the castle. Her plan was going perfectly; the two were separated. And they would stay that way.

******BACK AT HOGWARTS************************

            Ginny woke from her nightmare grasping for breath. She reached out for her husband, but she was shocked to find that he was not there.

            "Bloody Hades," she thought, "It was not a dream."

            Ginny touched the small button on the side of her Barbie watch. She felt a slight pull, a bit like a port key, and found herself ceremoniously on the floor of Professor Dumbledore's private chambers.

            "Mrs. Malfoy? He is gone? She has him?" Dumbledore asked in a sad, sad tone.

            Ginny shook her head and began silently crying. Dumbledore pulled on his robes and gave her a brief, sweet hug. Then he walked over to his enchanted mirror and called all the watches to his chambers. Everyone arrived immediately, save one…Draco.

            Ginny was still sitting on his floor hugging herself and crying.
