Ginny walked down the long corridor once more, this time heading for who know what. Voldemort had requested a meeting with her. She was afraid, very afraid. She had heard plenty of stories about him and hoped that none of them were true, but she knew all to well.

The hooded man led her into a chamber with dimly lit torches lining the walls.

" I must leave you here, The Dark Lord awaits you just through that door," The hooded man said as he raised a bony finger to point at a large stone door.

Ginny advanced slowly toward it. She took her right hand and began to push it aside. When the door was completely opened she found her self-staring into a dark green room surrounded by statues of snakes. At the far north part of the room sat a black throne in which she could make out a figure.

"Come in young lady" A snake like voice hissed from the depths.

Ginny walked shyly in to the room and toward the throne.

" My dear. I wanted to speak with you today because I believe we have used you for our purpose. You accomplished what you were meant to. We used you as a lure. And we were correct in doing so. You see we knew that that fool Harry Potter was madly in love with you! And we were correct in assuming his jealousy. He followed Draco that night and we captured him. So as for you, consider yoursssseelf lucky this time. You have done the Dark forces a great deed. Now we are sending you back to that stupid school of yours. " Voldemort said.

"WORMTAIL!" he screamed. The hooded man came back through the door and bowed before him. "TAKE THIS GIRL BACK TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM!"

The hooded man called wormtail promptly shoved a snake figurine into Ginny's hands and she felt herself flying away from the stone room. When she landed she was outside the gates of Hogwarts. She scooted over to a stone pillar and cried. Partly because she was happy to be back but mostly out of sadness and fear for Harry. When he was killed at Voldemorts hands, she would be the one to blame, she would have caused the rise of Voldemort, and she knew that the grief over the loss of harry would ultimately consume her. She would become an outcast of society when everyone found out, and she didn't think she was prepared to deal with it.
