"The Croft girls have what's mine"
"My Lord, we have been trying hard to-"
"It hasn't been working; I want the ring, the amulet, and the reactor!"
The crowd of people in robes surrounding Lord Voldemort quaked in fear.
A man in a gold robe approached the wizard that had a startling resemblance to a snake.
"We will retrieve the devices and all will be right" The golden-robed man said confidently.
"I hope so, because if you and your cult don't retrieve the devices, our little alliance will be severed and you will all die at my hands" Voldemort said as he grabbed the man in gold robe by the neck and squeezed until the man no longer breathed.
"You see" Voldemort continued "If I don't get what is promised to me, people die" He said and dropped the man's body.
The deatheaters laughed, as the remainders of the demon worshipping cult stared at the body of their former leader.

"Hello Gin" Lara said as she raised an eyebrow at Ginny's appearance.
Dumbledore smiled at her "Would you like to tell her Lara?"
"Yes, I would, if you don't mind"
Dumbledore motioned for her to continue.
"Well, Albus informed me that you had been attacked via owl" Lara told her with a worried and somewhat guilty look on her face.
"Oh...... by the robed men?" Ginny asked "The ones in gold and black?"
"Yes, well, Alex and I had a similar attack, and we think they may be after the artifacts we found in the tomb we discovered."
"You mean they were after the ring?" She said as she held her hand up to reveal the ring they had taken from the tomb.
"Yes, and we decided it would be best if we came to help you if you were attacked again, which is likely" Lara continued with a serious look on her face.
"I could handle myself" Ginny argued
"I know, but we want to be here anyway, in case of emergencies" Lara said with a softened facial expression as she hugged Ginny.
Ginny hugged back, and as they were hugging Ginny let out a low gasp of pain.
Lara's expression was curious again as she realized she had accidentally brushed up against Ginny's upper thighs, and that was what had caused her pain.
Ginny flashed an impish grin.
The other people in the room obviously didn't realize what had just passed between the two girls.
When Lara and Ginny sat back down, Lara was the only one who noticed Ginny's flinch as she sat back down.
"Lara and Alex will be teaching here in the meantime- a muggle, physical, self defense class" Dumbledore said with another one of his smiles and a twinkle in his eye.
"No way!" Ginny exclaimed with a grin. "This is fucking fabulous!"
Dumbledore chuckled at that exclamation throughout the rest of the day.
----------------------------------------------------------
Lara and Alex had a day to settle in, and their arrival would be announced at dinner that night. He also granted Ginny some time to spend with them before she had to go to classes.
Alex went off to get settled in, giving Ginny and Lara some time together. He made sure to give Ginny a playful leer before he left, though.
Once he was gone, Lara's voice took on a more serious tone
"Ginny, there is something going on with you, what is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ginny, don't play innocent with me, that outfit is convicting enough"
Ginny fingered her duster.
"And, I can tell you're hiding something- something that's physically harmful....." Ginny looked wide-eyed at Lara.
"Why don't we talk somewhere more private?" Lara asked as she put a comforting arm around Ginny's shoulders and led her to the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.
They sat down on the bleachers together, Ginny wincing again slightly.
"Well" Ginny began "It all started with a guy........"
Lara sat back and listened as Ginny explained her situation with Draco, starting with when he led her to the infirmary her first day back to Hogwarts, to the events that had happened that morning. Ginny had blushed several times throughout her story, she had gone into more detail then she had meant to.
"Well" Lara began, not sure how to approach the issue.
"Are you mad at me?" Ginny asked, tears forming in her eyes.
"Why would I be mad at you?" Lara responded with a smile as she put her arms around Ginny for comfort.
Ginny sobbed into Lara's shoulder, wetting her shirt.
"I just" Ginny mumbled into the older woman's shirt.
Lara patted her on the back as she continued.
"I didn't mean to, go that far with him, I mean- I thought you'd be angry with me"
Ginny looked up into Lara's eyes, her face red and blotchy.
"No, Gin, I love you too much for that" She said as she hugged the redhead again.
"My parents would've hated it; they probably would've disowned me if they were still alive"
"Your parents would've wanted you to be happy, and would've known that everyone makes mistakes"
"So, what do you think I should do, Lara?" Ginny asked with a sniffle
"Honestly?- I don't know" Lara responded with a shake of her head "I haven't had the best track record with men, but I think you should be careful with this boy"
"He's confusing, he seems to like me, but I don't know in what way, y'know?"
"Considering he shagged you, I wouldn't think it would be that hard" Lara said, laughter in her voice.
"I know he's attracted to me- no doubt of that, what I mean is what kind of a relationship does he want, friends that shag, enemies that shag, partners that shag, just a normal romantic relationship, or something else entirely?"
Lara laughed outright at her response "Welcome to the world of dating, my dear"
"Is it always this sore?" Ginny said through clenched teeth as she readjusted.
"Well, it usually is a little sore afterwards, but you look like you were experiencing a little more pain than normal" Lara said, thinking it over.
"Oh, is that bad?"
"Depends, considering you had street fight before and it was your first time, it's not surprising."
"We were kind of rough, that might be the reason, I may even bruised him, it was nice though.......really nice" Ginny said with a sigh.
Lara raised her eyebrows, laughter obvious in her eyes.
Ginny blushed "I didn't just say that out loud"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
After her talk with Lara, Ginny took a shower and changed. She knew having Lara with her at Hogwarts would be great.
She got her bag and went down to breakfast.
She sat down next to Hermione, who looked suspicious. Ginny made a decision right there, the only person she was going to tell about her and Draco was Lara. She couldn't tell anyone else.
"I didn't see you come back from the library last night"
"Really?, I stayed out a bit later than usual, you must've just missed me" Ginny responded, trying to play it cool.
"Perhaps" Hermione said her eyes still guarded and suspicious.
Ginny looked up as Draco walked into the hall. He looked right at her, his stare was intense. He winked, and she looked away. Ginny finished breakfast and was about to head to class, but was stopped by none other than Draco Malfoy. He put a hand on either side of her, so she was pinned to the wall.
"Ello Red" He said with a nibble on her ear lobe "Rough night?" He teased.
"Malfoy, I don't have time for this" She said, trying to pull away from him.
He didn't budge, just pushed more firmly against her.
"Listen, Ginnykins, I'm sorry that I upset you this morning, so I want to make it up to you" He said his lips inches from hers, teasing her. He didn't sound sorry at all. He played with a lock of her hair.
She pushed away from him, unsuccessfully trying to make herself look like she wasn't flustered.
He pushed a piece of paper in her palm.
"Meet me there, at that time" He instructed her "All the information you need is there"
"What makes you think I am going to come?"
He smirked, and rammed her back against the wall. His mouth on hers crushing her lips, full of passion, like the night before. The kiss that seemed to define him. He nibbled her bottom lip before pulling away. Her eyes fluttered open and he was already swaggering away.
"Bastard"
She leaned back against the wall; he made her feel like the world had stopped spinning. She felt like she couldn't breathe. It felt good.
