Chapter 2 – Destroying the dream
Ginny slowly woke one morning, she still had her eyes closed and she was feeling around the bed for Harry, instead, when she felt his pillow, she felt a piece of paper, and cut herself on it.
"MERLIN'S CRAP!" She shouted, quickly sticking the cut finger in her mouth, she picked up the paper and read the note.
Morning Beautiful, had work this morning but I couldn't wake my Angel from her angelic sleep. I'll see you this afternoon, love Harry.
Ginny smiled despite the stinging pain coming from her finger. 'He is so sweet sometimes.' She thought.
Ginny got up and went to the bathroom, having a nice long bath before she went downstairs, where the lunch was already on the table.
"Good morning!" She exclaimed happily, her family looked at her strangely.
"We were about to send someone up, we thought you were still asleep!" Molly told her, Ginny put her hand to her mouth.
"Whoops?" She muttered, they all laughed.
"Here Gin, I'm guessing that your hungry." Hermione said, moving up to let her soon-to-be-sister-in-law sit next to her.
"Yeh, starved." Ginny said with a grin, "Exercise does that to you."
"Since when did you exercise in the morn- oh." Molly muttered, Ginny and Hermione laughed.
"Argh Ginny, we don't want to know about your sexual habits at the table!" Fred exclaimed, Ginny giggled.
"Sorry, I love annoying you." She stated, then filled her plate.
"Did you hear about the thirty odd Death Eaters they caught?" Hermione asked Ginny, "That's why Harry and Ron had to go to work this morning, the Death Eaters need questioning."
"Oh? I didn't know." Ginny said with a frown. "I wonder why thirty Death Eaters were congregating together anyways. Where were they found?"
"Malfoy Manor." Fred filled in for Hermione, Ginny 'oh'ed in realisation.
"That'd be why." She muttered, Hermione nodded.
"They're hoping to get names of other Death Eaters from them." George said, Ginny nodded.
"I hope that they do." She stated.
The day went by quite quickly, and when Harry and Ron appeared in the fireplace at around eight, Ginny was relieved.
"How long were you there for?" She asked exasperated as she stood and went to hug Harry, he stiffened in her hold and pushed her back slightly. "Harry?" She asked, cocking her head inquiringly. Next she knew, she was on the floor clutching her cheek from where Ron had punched her.
"RONALD WEALSEY!" Molly shouted.
"Be quiet Mum." Ron said, glaring at Ginny. "She betrayed us." He said.
"What?" Nearly everyone asked, Sirius and Remus had come round that day also.
"She betrayed us. She's a Death Eater." Ron repeated, everyone looked shocked, including Ginny.
"What!" She exclaimed, "Ron, I wouldn't! Harry?" She turned to Harry, who looked away from her. "You believe it?"
"Twenty-seven Death Eaters told us Ginny, we're here to tell you to leave before you get taken in." Ron said forcefully, "Though I don't know why we are doing this."
"Ron, I'm not a Death Eater!" Ginny exclaimed, standing back up with a hand on her cheek. "Why would I be? Voldemort ruined my life! Why would I want to be a Death Eater?" She asked rhethorically.
"DAMN IT GINNY! I DON'T KNOW! YOU TELL US! ALL WE KNOW IS, TWENTY-SEVEN DEATH EATERS TOLD US THIS!" Ron shouted, "IF IT HAD BEEN ONE DEATH EATER, I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT TWENTY-BLOODY-SEVEN?!"
"RON! Listen to me! I'm NOT a Death Eater!" Ginny shouted.
"Then tell me," Ron said, "Where were you on the first of August? In the evening around the time six till nine?"
"I've already told you that I was around Janine's!" Ginny exclaimed, "Ask her!"
"How can I? She was murdered! And all of the evidence points to you!" Ron exclaimed.
"Evidence? EVIDENCE! What evidence!" Ginny exclaimed.
"All you need to know is that we have it." Ron stated bitterly, "Now leave before we take you to Azkaban." Ginny looked shocked and looked back at Harry.
"Please do not tell me you believe this Harry." Ginny begged, "I would never betray you!"
"Leave Ginny." Ron repeated, Ginny looked at him, then to all her family before speaking.
"You have made the biggest mistake of your life Ronald Weasley, and I won't be coming back when your grovelling at my feet." She stated, before apparting away. Molly broke down whilst the Weasley brothers, Hermione, Sirius and Remus sat there in shock.
"Ron, she couldn't have possibly..." Hermione trailed off.
"She betrayed us all Hermione. Now we've just given her the chance to hide." Ron stated, glancing at Harry, who had collapsed on the sofa with his head in his hands. "You weren't to know mate." Ron said to his friend, who nodded into his hands.
They all sat in silence, just contemplating what had just happened.
Ginny firstly went to Gringotts to get the little money she had before heading off. Having nowhere to go, she apparated to a homeless shelter in London and stayed there for a few nights, thinking about what she could do.
Deciding that she wanted to persist with the idea of her dream career, she brought a small apartment in Borehamwood, which was on the outskirts of London, and she changed her name to Virginia Summers.
Virginia found a job in a small fashion house less than an hours drive from her house (Harry had insisted that she learn to drive) and she worked as a sales clerk, it was a start.
It took her less than a month to get her life back on track, and for that she was glad.
Seven weeks had passed since Ginny had been kicked out, and some shocking news reached the Weasley's and Harry. She was innocent. The Death Eaters main goals were to ruin Harry's life, and in a last attempt, they had decided to try telling Harry that Ginny was a Death Eater, and it had worked. In all of the Death Eaters trail's, they were questioned with Veritaserum, and Dumbledore had told the family after the last trail that Ginny was innocent and that they'd made a big mistake.
They tried owling Ginny, but the owl always came back with unopened letters. The Weasley brothers soon gave up, ashamed at what they had done to their sister, though Harry and Molly kept trying to find her for years afterwards, with no success.
Virginia's biggest shock came weeks after she had moved and settled in. She was unsure at first, but after talking to a muggle doctor, it was verified. She was pregnant. Knowing she couldn't bear getting rid of the baby, she went into work a few days later and told her new boss, Elsa Greenway.
She nervously knocked on the door of her bosses office after the secretary told her to go through.
"Come in." A voice called, Virginia nervously entered and sat in the chair, after a moment of silence, Elsa looked up. "Something I could help you with Virginia?" She asked. Virginia nervously played with her hands.
"I know I've only just been employed, but please hear me out and please let me keep my job." Virginia started, Elsa nodded for her to continue, "I'm pregnant. And I know that might mean that I might be a little late or things but I promise to work just as hard and-"
"Virginia." Elsa said, stopping the young womans rant, "I will let you carry on working here. You act much more mature than the others and you look a keeper, but I still expect you to be at work on time." The woman said, raising an eyebrow at Virginia, who looked completely relieved.
"Thank you so much! You don't know what this means to me." She said happily, Elsa smiled at her.
"I also wanted to speak to you today about these drawings." Elsa held up a fashion drawing which Virginia had done, it was a brief sketch of a wedding dress, Virginia looked shocked.
"Oh nuts! I'm sorry, I was bored the other afternoon because there were no customers and-"
"Whoa!" Elsa exclaimed, "I like it girl, maybe you have some more I could have a look at? As I suppose being a clerk isn't the job you want forever. Maybe I could help you reach those better heights." Virginia looked excited.
"Really? Oh, I could bring my sketchbook to you if you wanted." Virginia suggested, Elsa nodded.
"I'd like that, then maybe I could introduce you to one of my private clients whom you could work with." She suggested, Virginia nodded. "Well, you had better get back to work, thank you for informing me of your condition and congratulations." Elsa said with a smile, Virginia nodded slightly.
"Thank you, for everything." She said, then left with a grin on her face.
Throughout the years, Virginia slowly made great leaps in her career ladder. She had a beautiful daughter, Paisley, and she lived for her. Virginia went from being a clerk, to a fashion assistant to Elsa, then she went into partnership with Elsa, then finally, she opened a small shop a little away from Elsa's, designing and making clothes, and also tailoring some to suit certain people. Her shop done well and she was invited to lots of fashion shows, her name was becoming nationwide in the fashion industry. Her daughter was a model in all of her walks and Virginia made a trademark, Summers Designs and sold her merchandise to big shopping stores in London whilst she also worked in her base shop, tailoring for people from all over for thousands of occasions.
