~*The Party*~

Ginny ended up being late for the party, by about a half an hour. Some mix up with the

carriages and who was talking which one made her half to wait for what felt like forever. The

hall was large and was decorated brilliantly on the outside making it look like a large haunted

manor, the large rickety looking stairs were complete with stray black cats laying on the old

banisters and broken flower pots with real snakes nestled inside of them adorned the front of

the building. Ginny walked inside pushing the squeaky old doors apart and loud music hit her

instantly causing her eyes to widen.

The place looked even more spectacular then the Great Hall. The Hogwarts ghosts wafted

through the exposed rafters that were at least fifteen feet high, the squeaking noises from above

gave the building an ancient feeling. Ginny gazed around stepping it, the floor was worn wood

that was scattered with orange and black confetti that moved around on its own. Above her

head single candles floated in iron holders and many more were suspended in mid air, they cast

an eerie light on the room and Ginny had to restrict herself from shivering. There was one long

table with the regular Hogwarts food and many of the teachers were sitting in what looked like

almost a Opera balcony.

"Hey Gin!" said a voice from behind her, Ginny turned to see Pansy dressed in a green gown

dressed as some sort of royal lady.

"Oh hi Pansy.." Ginny said, she was trying to get a good look for Hermione so she could

apologize to her. She couldn't stand not talking to her, Harry and Ron.

"Raven's waiting for you..." she added grabbing her wrist and dragging her over near the stage.

Raven was there with a bunch of Ravenclaw guys, he was dressed in a rather sharply in a black

suit that made him look even taller then he was. His eyes were brushed with dark shadows that

looked hideously like he hadn't slept in about a week and his face was unnaturally pale. He

flashed Ginny a smile and she noted two sharp looking fangs, he was dressed as a vampire.

"I love your costume Raven..its wicked!" she said loudly over the music. Raven smiled looking

her over.

"You look beautiful.." he commented, Ginny felt herself blush. Her dress reached below her

knees and fell around her in a graceful way, it was a tank top sort of style but very much like

something from a fairy tale. Her hair was wavier then usual and fell below her shoulders in deep

red strands that had randomly placed small white flowers between the strands. She had a small

wreathe of the same flowers around her head, lace up heeled sandles and white satin ribbon

wrapped around her arms.

"Thank you.." she said, linking her arm with his outstretched one letting him lead her onto the

dance floor that was already heavily crowded by students.

The band was led by a long black haired woman, she didn't look over twenty but her voice

was more profound and beautiful then any Ginny had ever heard. (AN: Think Amy Lee from

Evanescence) Ginny could only catch a few words of her whimsical yet haunting tune.

"As I lie under the viel

the light rain stings like hail

I wonder if its true

And why those things i was put through

continue to haunt my dreams

and if they're as meaningless as they seem

do people actually care

or did i misread their odd stares?

Should i use the viel to hide behind for eternity

Or go out and be left feeling immortally empty"

Ginny sighed as her and Raven began to dance, she could relate to the song so well. She did

feel like no one cared, she did feel empty and she felt so alone. No one she really wanted to

talk to was talking to her, the one person she thought she loved seemed to think she hated him

and his face continued to appear in her dreams leaving her more hollow feeling then before.

Ginny didn't know how long she danced with Raven, she wasn't paying attention. She was

thinking silently to herself and she didn't really remember where she was until Raven prodded

her in the head.

"Ginny? Have you been listening to a word I've been saying?" he asked laughing.

Ginny shook her head clear of her thoughts.

"Um no..I mean yes..um sorry no. I think I need some air I'm sorry Raven I'll be back.." she let

her hands fall from around his neck and ran outside.

Sitting on the railing Ginny began to cry, silently but tears were running down her cheeks and

gently falling onto her chest. She felt so alone and she couldn't stand it.

She cried for about an half an hour and no one had yet come outside to check on her, that

made her feel even worse.

"How could I have been so stupid..Draco or no Draco I shouldn't have let a guy get between

me and Hermione's friendship...and where in the world is Missy anyway?" she wondered

aloud. She hadn't seen her in over a week..did Hermione tell her what Ginny had said and she

now hated her to? Ginny got slightly worried, jumping off the banister she headed up the stairs

finding Raven and Pansy blocking her way in.

"Oh hi guys I was just coming back in.." she said wiping her eyes. They both looked at one

another and smiled.

"Oh well they wont miss you that much will they Weasley?" Pansy laughed.

"Indeed..." said Raven and before Ginny could do anything he gagged her with a white cloth

and he carried her into the forest Pansy trotting behind like a dog.

~*A little Later*~ Ginny tried to scream but she couldn't seem to find her voice, they'd taken a port key to god

knows where and she was more scared then she had been in her entire life. It was beginning to

all make sense...the entire thing was a setup. Somehow these two had made Draco turn on

her..she wondered how but she knew that wasn't important. But what did they want with her?

Raven put her down, they were in some sort of English countryside and there was a large hill

before them. He un-gagged her but bound her wrist to his with some charm.

"Alright no screaming or your dead..no running away or your dead..and I'm not carrying you up

this hill got it?" he ordered. Ginny nodded but cleared her throat as they began to trudge up the

slippery hill.

"Who are you..and what have you and Pansy done?" she asked hatefully. Pansy laughed.

"Dumb little one isn't she.." she taunted scratching Ginny's head like she was a dog. Ginny

slapped it away with her free hand.

"Don't touch me bitch.." Ginny spat.

"Don't talk to me like that.." Pansy retaliated.

"Both you two shut up.." Raven ordered loudly.

"We both work for Mr. Malfoy.." he answered her, Ginny's jaw dropped as she panted for air,

the hill had become even more slippery and steep.

"Draco's father? What does he want with me?" Ginny asked her head racing.

"That's for us to laugh and taunt you about..and for you to find out.." Pansy laughed as she lost

her footing and slid about three feet down the hill. Ginny couldn't help but laugh.

"Raven let me go! Please!" she pleaded, she wanted to pretend she was strong and brave but

she had never been so scared. The sound of her heart racing pounded in her ears and she

feared what could be over the hill and what awaited her there. Her hopes began to falter as the

moon fell behind the clouds and the world was cast into darkness. She hated starless nights, and

this was the worst one she'd ever endured.

"You stupid child..I haven't done all this just to let you escape my clutches..Mr. Malfoy will be

so pleased.." he laughed as Pansy caught up with him covered in mud but she continued to walk

on.

Ginny and her kidnappers had been walking for over an hour when the rain hit, it wasn't the

sort of rain Ginny enjoyed playing in as a child. But a cold, heartless rain that bore down on

them with an endless chill. Ginny was glad of the rain because now her legs ached from walking

and her muscles screamed in protest with each step. Pansy looked like she'd never endured so

much exercise in her entire life and like she was about to collapse any minute, as for Raven he

didn't even falter. Ginny could just make out from the light in his wand that with each passing

minute a bit of facial hair appeared on his chin, he grew just over an inch and his robes were

beginning to look to tight. Now more then ever she was terrified of the person she was chained

to.
