CHAPTER 3-Father
Ginny had seen his face in the crowd easily. He stood out no matter how much he tried to blend in, he had an aurora of power and dignity around him that made him stand out. She told her daughter to run. As soon as Raven had gone she herself bolted off turning the corner. She looked around, she couldn't go to the apartment no that wouldn't be safe for Raven she *had* to keep her safe. She lowered her pace to a fast walk moving swiftly through the crowds. She pulled a hat out of her purse making sure that her fiery red hair didn't give her away. She felt him gaining but she kept this steady pace it could help Raven...her little baby...Raven with her wit temper and sarcastic comebacks. She was truly a brave little girl...well not little anymore in the sense of age, but height wise...she turned into a large shop hoping to hide among the racks of clothes. He was getting closer, she wouldn't, *couldn't* give up yet no not now. She had run from him for 18 years she could last for Ravens sake. She sighed wondering why she was taking a walk down memory lane when she should be running her ass off. Raven had grown up with out a father but she hadn't shown any signs of regret.
~FLASHBACK~
A five-year-old Raven was laughing as she went higher on the swings. Ginny watched her daughter smiling. Raven ran over to her and hugged her leg.
"Mommy did you see how high I went?" She chirped her soft raven hair in soft ringlets.
"Yes I did sweet heart..." Ginny said smiling at the little girls enthusiasm.
"Mommy...will I ever get to meet Daddy?" Ginny froze looking deep into those large black eyes. Raven looked at her mother her brow furrowing, she looked a lot like him when she did that, she was a lot like him in the sense she could charm you into doing almost anything she chose, but her little girl was not evil.
"Maybe some day...when you're older." Ginny said finally, that seemed to appease the little girls curiosity as she ran off to play again.
~END FLASHBACK~
Ginny slowed her pace as she reached a clothing rack ducking her head slightly so that it would be harder to spot her. She should have known it would never have worked. All to soon a hand had come to rest gently on her shoulder.
"Why hello Virginia it has been a while." Came his deep baritone voice she shivered as his grip tightened and he pulled her close forcing her to turn and meet his eye. He still looked like he was 20 years old so much like her. "Lovely as ever..." He said with a final smile before everything disappeared and they were once again in his rooms. She shuddered, they were in the sitting room and Death Eaters started to file in surrounding them in a half circle.
"I won't tell you anything." She said calmly gathering her courage to stare him straight in the eye. He laughed softly.
"My, my have you raised our *daughter* with that tongue?" He snapped furiously.
"She has a temper of her own far worse than mine...if it were her here instead of me she would have already insulted you all several times in fifty different languages and have hexed you into next week." Ginny snapped.
"Virginia darling bring her here...don't you think I have the right to see my daughter? After all I have missed the first 17 years of her life." He said Ginny took a few pictures of Raven out of her purse and threw them at him.
"That's the closest you'll ever get to seeing her." She snarled as he looked at the pictures.
"Master...may we see the daughter?" Asked a Death Eater Voldemort flicked his wand once and the pictures became enlarged. One was of a five-year-old Raven scowling at the camera and shaking her head in disgust at the dress she was wearing. Ginny suppressed a grin Raven had always despised dresses. Another was one with her in her Quidditch robes leaning against her broom -a Nimbus 2010 the best her mother could afford- taking a snooze while a few of her team mates creeped up behind her with a tub full of water dumping it on her. And the most recent was of Raven smirking and winking blowing kisses at the camera, dressed in a cheerleading out-fit walking around kissing her guy friends who if not dying of laughter were whistling in approval.
"I knew I should never have let her dress up like that for Halloween 'Mom you are so uptight...' my ass..." Ginny muttered under her breath. The Dark Lord looked at her calmly. She glared at him furiously, "I raised her that's my child you are not getting anywhere near her."
Raven walked into her room and grabbed a backpack stuffing clothes and other articles into it as fast as she could. She took out her wand and muttered a quick enlarging spell on it to fit more. She shoved spell books in and her collapsible cauldron. She looked at herself in the mirror and put a few highlighting charms in her hair. She now had emerald streaks running through looking very good indeed. She tied her hair back once more and put on a hat. She grabbed her bag and walked out the door. Pulling herself together she walked down the street. She had to get a cab maybe stay at a hotel tonight...then she could apparate over to Damians stay there for a night before taking a plane to England. She'd go to her mother's family...or she could go straight to Hogwarts. She shook her head she'd think about it in the morning. She waved down a cab and hopped in.
"Any hotel close to the LA Airport and make sure it's cheap." she said to the driver a porky Mexican man who nodded and started the car. She took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. It was almost 10 at night when she reached the hotel. She payed the cab driver and checked in. "Best to check on mom...an image spell should do the trick." She thought as she quickly put wards up around her room. She lay down in bed focusing on her mother's location.
Ginny glared the Dark Lord fiercely in the eye the Death Eaters still surrounding them.
"I think not Virginia darling...you see you're going to tell me..." He said slowly touching her face.
"Like hell, you son of a-" Just then someone began to clap slowly. Raven came walking lazily towards her mother.
"Jeez mom and you're the one telling me to be polite and to stop swearing?" Raven said flipping her long black hair with emerald streaks.
"RAVEN WHAT DID I TELL YOU TO DO?" Ginny shouted furiously
"Mom I'm fine relax.mom what the hell is going on I deserve a fucking explanation for why-" Raven began when the man who was standing next to her mother started laughing. "What the hell is so funny?" Raven said with a deadly sort of calm.
"Do not speak to me with that tone." The Dark Lord snapped raising his wand.
"Why the hell not? It isn't like you could do anything.seeing as I'm only a shadow." Raven said rolling her eyes, Ginny wished that her daughter did not have so much sass right about now.
"Yes.but your mother." He grabbed Ginny pulling her towards him so that her head rested on his chest. Ginny struggled he laughed softly. Raven became stonily still her black eyes became hard.
"If you do anything to my mother I swear to the Gods that you are going to regret it." Her voice was soft and sleepy it sounded too dangerous.
"I am your Father do not speak to me like that." (A/N: What will Ravens reaction be? Draco will show up in the next chapter. And the term 'shadow' I'm using from the Dark Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. It's a great series to read.)
