Ginny crept cautiously into the hall. There was not a sound in the house. "Do does he expect me to find the kitchen, or anything else for that matter." She thought angrily to herself. She walked as quietly as she could, but her footsteps echoed in the vast hall. She dared not looked in any of the rooms for fear of what she might find.
From one of the rooms she heard crying and a house elf came stumbling out of the room.
Ginny was shocked, "Winky! What are you doing here?"
Winky's large eyes were full of tears. The elf collapsed at Ginny's feet and sobbed loudly. Ginny sat down beside the elf and patted her on the back comfortingly. After Winky calmed down a bit Ginny asked, "How did you get here, Winky?"
The elf took a shaky breath and said, "I was looking for a family to serve. After I became sober and all, that is. No one wanted an elf that had already been given clothes. Then I got an offer from... from..." she lowered her voice to a whisper, "...You-Know-Who..." The elf took a few more reassuring breathes and continued, "Dobby warned me not to and told me how bad it was to be a servant of a dark wizard. I thought he was just being Dobby, the crazy house elf. Now I understand what he meant." Winky shuddered and shook. "There are so many secrets I keep, things that affect peoples lives. I want to talk to Dumbledore or Dobby... but no I am a good house elf. I will keep my masters secrets." The Little elf mopped her faces with the rag she was wearing and finally stopped crying. Ginny decided not to question her further on this subject.
"Winky, could you please show me to the kitchen."
"Certainly, Miss," Winky bowed deeply and took the girls hand and led her to a large kitchen. A couple of house elves where hurrying around. None looked happy as they had at Hogwarts.
"What would you like, young lady?" asked an old elf.
"Just some oatmeal with a little sugar, please," replied Ginny kindly. Winky took Ginny to a table and pulled up a chair. In a few minutes she found a steaming bowl of oatmeal and a glass of milk in front of her.
"If you need any help, just call my name," Winky said then hurried off to help the other elves. When Ginny finished she got up and thanked the elves then turned to Winky and said,
"Where is you Master?" At this many elves muttered darkly among themselves.
Winky pointed with a shaking finger, "At the end of that corridor." Ginny tiptoed down the dark corridor and knocked on the door at the end.
"Who is it?" a smooth, silky voice replied although he already knew. He could feel her presence.
"It's me."
"Come in, darling." The door opened. He stood up and approached her. "You look beautiful." She felt as if he was hypnotizing her, but at these works she forgot her worries. She pulled her close and kissed her, then wrapped his arms around her, pulling her right up to him. She reached up and placed her arms around his neck.
"Now what was it you were going to ask me?" He whispered.
"I was wondering how I am to find my way around."
"Well," he said bringing her to a chair and sitting down. She sat down on his lap and looked up at him, "I could give you a house elf as your personal servant."
"That would be wonderful. I met one downstairs named Winky. Can she be my servant?" Ginny pleaded.
"Of course," the Dark Lord answered, "WINKY!" I house elf poped oout of nowhere and bowed and remained bent over until Tom spoke again, "You are to be Virginia's maid. You will take orders from her and make sure she is happy."
"Yes, master." Said the house elf.
"You are dismissed." The house elf disappeared, and the dark lord returned his attention back to Ginny. She went back into her trance. "Anything else you want?" She did not answer except by kissing him.
A death eater apparated and saw the couple. He did not recognize either of the "teenagers." When the couple realized he was there, the girl got up and stood by the door, behind the man.
"Where is the Dark Lord?" the death eater asked. Voldemort decided to test the loyalty of this man.
"I do not know." He replied.
The death eater looked frustrated and said, "You are no use." He turned around and faced Ginny. "Hey, I recognize you, weren't you the one who the dark lord has chosen as his wife. The dark lord will be very angry to hear you have been with another boy." The man grinned maniacally. "I won't tell if you don't." The man lunged and Ginny and kissed her on the lips.
"Crucio," Tom yelled turning back in to himself. "Apologize to my future wife." The man shrieked and writhed on the floor, but Voldemort would not lift the curse.
"I didn't –"he gasped, "know...She was- I-am-sorry."
"That is not good enough," bellowed the Dark Lord, "Winky," he called and the elf appeared, "Take Virginia away from here."
"Follow me," squeaked the house elf. Ginny needed not urging. She knew what was coming after the torture and didn't want to witness it. Winky led her to her room.
"Are you okay, Miss?"
"I think so," panted Ginny.
Winky looked worried, "Young mistress, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I believe the Dark Lord is controlling you. It happened to my old master and I am not going to let it happen to you."
"But Tom loves me-"Ginny tried to say, but Winky cut her off and said.
"Not for the reasons you think..." Winky stopped, "I must not tell my master's secrets."
"Winky, I am your Mistress. Tell me why he loves me," Ginny ordred.
Winky gulped then said, "A prophesy was said that who you decide to love, either Harry or Voldmort will have a great weapon in the war."
"But I think I already love the Dark Lord," Ginny said quietly.
"No, Ginny, you do not. He is trying to make you believe that with his hypnotizing. Don't fall for it. Voldemort has not compassion in his body and you can't give I to him."
Ginny pondered this and realized that this was true. She did feel like he was controlling her. Her love for him was not more than a school girl crush. "What will I do?" cried Ginny.
"Well, don't worry whatever happens, you won't die at least till the final battle," Winky said in a would-be-calm voice. "Then he will either take you as his wife or kill you mercilessly." Ginny was not at all comforted by this thought. She knowe she must choose between Tom and her family. If she choose one it meant abandoning the other. For Ginny that was not really a choice. She must choose her family, but that meant she must consider Harry.
"Sure, he is kind, brave, and good-looking," Ginny admitted to herself, "but can I love him? I must at least try, or I destine my family to death." Finally she spoke aloud to Winky, "How will I get away from here and not endanger those I love."
"It's dangerous, but I think I have a plan," Winky said.
