Draco was
very much not alone and very much kissing Pansy.
"Get off him right now you bitch!" Ginny tore across to where they
stood and proceeded to pull her off him. She had just tossed her to the floor
and was ready to punch her when she felt a hand on her arm stop her and pull
her around.
"I don't know who you think you are but get of my girlfriend please."
"Draco what are you..." She looked into his eyes for something but
she didn't find anything there. In fact his eyes looked soulless like there was
no one home.
It's a spell; I know it is- it has to be. Maybe I can snap him out of it.
"Draco, it's me, its Ginny." She took a hold of his shoulders and shook
him lightly. "Remember? I'm your girlfriend not her-"
"You're highly mistaken. That's my
girlfriend right there, and I don't know any Ginny so-"
His words were cut of because at that moment Ginny had kissed him. She pulled
back and looked at him again and saw a tiny spark of life in him. "Draco
remember that, please say you remember that please." At that point tears
began to pour down her cheeks and he just kept saying
"I'm sorry you have the wrong person."
She whirled around, and started walking towards Pansy- her hands in fists.
" You whore, what did you do to him what did you give him?!?" She
knocked Pansy down, and starting hitting her blindly, her tears blurring her
vision.
As Draco put his arms around her waist to pull her off, she managed to get a
hold of the necklace that Pansy was wearing around her neck. Draco threw Ginny
over his shoulder, and dropped her firmly outside the tower.
"I don't know why you're here, or why you are hurting my girl, but I'm
afraid you're going to have to leave." He then proceeded to firmly close
the door on her.
I can' believe that just happened. What the hell did she give him? She looked
down at the locket that was in her hand. Pansy had it on her. It was a little
to heavy for a locket. It was in the shape of a heart with vines rapped around
it. Very strange… She noticed something that looked like a minute cork at the
top of the locket. She took hold of it and she pulled as hard as she could.
Finally it came out and immediately the air smelled heavily like rosemary and ...
and… she couldn't quite figure it out but she knew this had to be what she gave
him.
But how
will I know… Hermione, she'll know what it is.
Without a second thought she started running toward Gryffindor tower. She was
half way up a stairway when she remembered Hermione had detention with
Professor Snape. Without even thinking she automatically turned around and
headed towards the dungeons. She ran as fast as her feet could carry her. When
she reached the door of his classroom, she paused to catch her breath. She
opened the door as quietly as she could, which was maybe a bit too quiet, for
there in front of her she found Hermione firmly kissing the potions professor.
She closed the door and took awhile to clear her head. I can't believe I just
saw that… She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before she knocked on
the door. She waited a while and then knocked again, and louder. She was about
to knock a third time when she heard Snape.
"Come in."
She opened the door slowly and stepped gingerly into the room. She noticed that
Hermione looked very flushed and her hair was slightly messed up. But other
then that you wouldn't have suspected a thing.
"Well Miss Weasley, did you want something?"
"Yes, I was wondering if I could speak to Hermione for a few seconds. Its
an emergency."
"Certainly. This will lengthen your detention time, I hope you know."
Hermione just nodded her head without turning back, as she and Ginny walked out
into the hall.
"What is it?"
"First of all, way to go Mione."
"Wait, you saw? You won't tell any one will you Ginny? Please oh please
don't tell-"
"Hermione, please of course I wouldn't, besides no one would believe me.
And anyways I think he's an improvement over my brother." At this they
both laughed and Ginny almost forgot all about the tower until she almost
dropped the necklace. She looked down at it and felt her smile disappear from
her face.
"Ginny what's wrong?"
"Well, see. I got that note form Draco, actually now imp not even sure
that it was Draco who sent it, but any way I went up there after dinner and
when I got there I found him kissing that thing-Pansy- and I couldn't believe
it and when I looked into his eyes they were all empty as if he wasn't even
awake, like his soul was gone or something, and I knew then and there that he
was under some spell and then he told me he didn't know me and that Pansy was
his girlfriend and then I pulled this off of her before he threw me out of the
room. I mean he literally picked me up and dropped me outside of the room and I
opened up the damned necklace and it has something inside and I think she gave
it to him or something but I don't know I'm just so confused I mean he wouldn't
do this to me on his own I know it an-"
"Ginny!" Hermione had to scream because she was talking so loud and
so fast she didn't know if she was going to stop. "First of all let me see
what you pulled off of her". Ginny gave her the necklace and Hermione
looked at it and opened it and smelled it. She scrunched her brows up in
concentration. Then she had a look of sudden realization. "Oh my gods, it
can't be. But it only makes sense. I have to ask him." Hermione quickly
turned around and walked into the room and strait toward Snape, with Ginny
close behind.
"Sir can you please take a look at this?" She handed him the locket
and he examined it and proceed to smell the contents much like Hermione did,
except that he only smelled it once before he turned on the girls.
"Where did you find this?"
"Actually I found it sir." Ginny stepped around Hermione and face
Snape. "Actually, I got it off of someone. I was wondering if you could
tell me what it is."
"This," He reached for an empty container and poured out the contents
of the locket. The container slowly filled up with a deep purple sand." Is
a very powerful 'love potion' as you might call it. It drains the persons' soul
and desire and is replaced by whatever the bearer wants it to be. It is very
dark, and highly dangerous. Not to mention banned." He corked the potion
and brought it to his stores. When he came back he stared long and hard at
Ginny.
"Whom did you get it from?"
"Pansy Parkinson sir."
He raised his eyebrow and when Ginny started to cry he sighed. "I wouldn't
worry too much about young Malfoy. The potion will wear off eventually, though I
cannot say when. If she put in enough to confuse him, than I would say that all
should be right by morning. I do hope that you find resolution in my
answer." He handed her back the necklace and closed the door.
That was strange, but at least now I know. Nothing to do now but wait I guess.
With that thought she headed upstairs to her dormitory and slept. If she
dreamed she didn't remember it.
