Chapter 10 ~ The Evil Plottings Of Parvati

Parvati Patil sat in her throne like chair in her cave, twiddling her Theroscope in her fingers. She had known that Lavender really intended to use her Theroscope on Dean Thomas, for her own personal benefits, which was why she had sent Anivatria after her. Anivatria was good at scaring people into doing what Parvati wanted:

~~Flash Back~~

Ginny Weasley was walking into the Great Hall, worried about her friendship with Hermione and how it would falter if she were to remain friends with Malfoy. Ginny suspected Malfoy wanted so much more than friendship from Hermione, which was why she was scared for Hermione.

Ginny took her place at the Gryffindor table with her 6th year friends. She always sat right on the boarder of the 6th and 7th year places at the table, so that she would be able to talk to her friends who were in 7th year. That morning, Dean had chosen to sit next to her, and Seamus on the other side of the table.

Parvati and Lavender walked up to them, Parvati taking a seat next to Seamus, while Lavender seated herself next to Dean, with a small smile on her face. Parvati turned to Ginny, not looking too friendly.

'Ginny, come with me, I have something I would like for you to see.' Parvati stood up, and beckoned for Ginny to follow her. Ginny quivered, but followed Parvati reluctantly.

'Where are we going?' Ginny asked after they had travelled deep under the school. Parvati stopped walking, and turned to face Ginny.

'We are going to a place only myself and Lavender know about. We discovered it in our first year at Hogwarts by accident, and since then we have used it as our secret place. Now you will know about it.' Parvati said, her voice hoarse and barely above a whisper.

The two Gryffindors continued their journey, deeper down the Hogwarts path they were following. After what seemed to Ginny like a lifetime, they reached what appeared to be the entrance to the place that Parvati had been talking about.

Ginny noticed that it was a cave. In the middle was a large pile of rectangular ember, which Ginny suspected was some sort of fire place. Right in front of the open fire place was a large, throne like chair. It was red and black, and fit for a queen. The walls of the cave were sturdy rock, and the floor was cobblestones. There were some large red and black rugs stationed around the fire place. In one corner stood a woman's figure. She was tall, and had a creamy complexion, with milky brown eyes, and very straight light brown hair, which she wore long and flowing. She had a small nose, and delicate features. On her slender form, she bore robes of brilliant, darker than midnight black.

'This,' Parvati began, 'is Anivatria.' Ginny trembled, the witch seemed somewhat intimidating. She strode across the cave and stood in front of Ginny. Ginny looked up at her with a plain look of fear on her face.

'Hello Ginny,' Anivatria's voice was smooth and reminded Ginny of a trickling stream. Some fear escaped her.

'Now, Ginny, watch.' Parvati said, motioning to Anivatria. Anivatria seemed to have tripled in height, her gown and hair streaming back as if there was a strong wind. However, there was no breeze in the cave. Anivatria's eyes went completely black, and her mouth curved into a sneer. Her nails appeared like claws, and Ginny cowered in pure terror.

'You will obey Parvati's every command!' Anivatria boomed, her voice no longer like a trickling stream, but like thunder. Ginny, still trembling, nodded meekly. Parvati seemed happy, however, Anivatria remained scary.

'Ginny, you will not falter in your promise, of I will see to it that you are destroyed, along with Hermione's loyal friends.' Parvati warned. Ginny didn't move, or say a word. 'I'll be watching you, Weasley.'

Anivatria shrunk down to size, her hair, gown, eyes and nails went back to normal. She once again looked like she was a queen, not a monstrous creature.

'Come, Ginny, you have now passed your initiation test. You may now go back to Hogwarts. I shall be expecting you to do and say exactly as I ask, or you will face the wrath of Anivatria along with the rest of those Gryffindors who remain loyal to Hermione.' Parvati said, leading Ginny to the entrance of the cave. 'I will not be leading you back, I trust you will be able to find this place again if necessary?'

'Y-y-yes, that shouldn't be a problem.' Ginny stammered. Parvati frowned dangerously.

'From now on, you refer to me as "Master", got it?'

'Yes Master.' Ginny said, and hurried out of the cave.

~~End Flash Back~~

Parvati laughed at the memory of Ginny's face when Anivatria spoke to her in that booming voice. Ginny would not falter in her mission to make Hermione believe she has no friends. Those who remain loyal to Hermione shall perish before her. Parvati had formed a list in her head of the people who Hermione was to watch die:

Ron Weasley

Neville Longbottom

Albus Dumbledore

Draco Malfoy

Phillip Cassady

Luna Lovegood

Professor McGonagall

This was her list so far, if there was someone else who Parvati believed would get on Hermione's side, that person would be added to the list.

Anivatria was not present at this time, she was out making sure Lavender did not falter in her mission to eavesdrop on Hermione's thoughts. Parvati only hoped Hermione was thinking about something useful, and not about that moron Malfoy. At the very thought of his name, Parvati sneered. She could not stand that guy, she hated him with a purpose, and that purpose was to kill him. In time, she would eventually have Hermione killed as well, but first she would suffer for betraying Harry.
