Chapter 20- Training and Tests
"You must master the three unforgivable curses by our next Death Eater meeting, Ginny." Draco said during there 5th day of training. "You have two down. You just need to get Avada Kedavra down."
Ginny sighed. "The meeting is tonight, Draco."
Draco nodded his head. "Don't worry. You will be fine. Right now we just need to concentrate on the killing curse. You have managed to almost kill a mouse, but you need for it to just drop dead. Like this." Draco said as he raised his wand at a mouse on the floor and spoke. "Avada Kedavra." As soon as the green beam hit the mouse it dropped dead. He then turned to Ginny. "Ok you try."
Ginny nodded her head and pointed her wand at another mouse. "Avada Kedavra!" The green beam shot out from her wand and hit the mouse. The mouse feel over instantly. "Oh my god, did I?" She asked as she watched Draco go over to check the rodent.
Draco checked the mouse for any signs of life then looked up at Ginny grinning. "You have." He then walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Good, now try again with that one." He said as he pointed to another one.
"Avada Kedavra!" Ginny said with her wand pointed at the mouse. The green beam once again shot out and hit it head on. Instantly he fell over dead. "Yes!" She screamed happily. "I'm so ready for the tests, but you still haven't told me what is going to happen at the meeting."
"I wanted to make sure you got the unforgivable down before I told you." Draco said as he took a seat on a wooden chair.
Ginny nodded her head and sat down on the wooden chair across from his. "Well now I can. So spill it."
"You have the mark. Only now you have to prove your loyalty by putting the Imperious Curse on someone, Giving someone the Cruciatus Curse and killing someone. Lord Voldemort will chose the person whom you will perform these on."
"So I will be doing all three to one person?" Ginny asked.
Draco nodded his head. "Ok, but lets try them all one more time before we go up stairs and get ready for the meeting."
"Alright." Ginny said standing up. "What should I practice on?"
"Practice the first two on me and the last one on a mouse." Draco said as he stood up beside her.
"On you? I couldn't." Ginny said while giving him a weird look.
"You have to. You have to be willing to do these on anybody." Draco said. "I did them on you on the first day so you could feel what they feel like and how to counter them." Draco said truthfully. "I want to make sure you are doing them correctly."
Ginny sighed then nodded her head. "Alright."
Draco then walked in front of her and waited for her to cast the first curse upon him. "Remember not to keep the Cruciatus Curse on me long."
Ginny nodded her head then pointed her wand at him. "Imperio!" She said loudly then watched as a stream of light came out of her wand and hit Draco in the chest.
Draco suddenly got emotionless. He just stood their staring at her.
"Smack me." Ginny said. She decided to use this because she knew Draco would never do this to her unless he was influenced by magic.
Without saying a word Draco walked up to Ginny and slapped her across the face hard. Ginny then raised her wand at him and said loudly. "Finite Incantartum."
Draco quickly snapped out of it and looked at her. "Very good. It felt how it should have felt. Now do the next one." He said looking her in the eye.
"Crucio." Ginny said as she pointed her wand at him. When the beam of light him he quickly dropped to the floor in pain. Ginny let this go on for a couple seconds then casted the counter curse to stop it.
Draco stood up weakly and nodded his head. "Very good. It felt like hell." He said. "Which is a good thing." He then looked over to the mouse on the floor by the table. "Ok, kill him."
"Avada Kedavra!" Ginny said then a green light came out of her wand and hit the mouse. He quickly dropped over and died.
"Great. Now that you know what your doing, we can go get ready for the meeting tonight." Draco said as they headed for the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not soon after Ginny finished getting dressed she heard Draco knock on her door. "Meeting is going to start. We have to get down into the dungeons."
Ginny went to the door and opened it. "Let's go." She said then followed Draco down in the Malfoy Mannor Dungeons.
Once they got inside they noticed that almost everyone was already there. "You have to go stand up front." A man said to them after they walked in.
Ginny and Draco quickly took their places in line and waited for Lord Voldemort to show up.
A couple minutes later Lord Voldemort appeared in a cloud of smoke. "So nice of everyone to join us." He said shortly then turned to the new Death Eaters. "If you do not complete all the tasks I will kill you." He said flatly. "So lets get started."
"Blaise Zambini step up and do what I say." Lord Voldemort hissed out.
He quickly stepped up and waited for his instructions. Out of no where a young woman appeared. "You will perform the three unforgivable curses on her." Voldemort said then stood back to watch.
Blaise went through all three quickly then took his place back in line. When Ruby O'Reilly got called a young man appeared and she successfully preformed the unforgivable on him. But when Aidan Peterson came up he successfully completed Imperious Curse and Cruciatus Curse, but when he tried to do the killing curse he called.
Lord Voldemort stepped up in front of him with an evil grin on his face. "You have failed. Now you must die." Voldemort then pointed his wand at the young man and said loudly. "Avada Kedavra!" Aidan quickly dropped to the ground dead. A couple Death Eaters came up and removed his body then the ceremony continued.
"Virginia Weasley." Lord Voldemort said while looking at her. When Ginny stepped forward a muggle teenager appeared in front of her. "You know what to do." Voldemort said then stepped back into line.
Ginny grinned mischievously at the muggle then pointed her wand at her. "Imperio!" She shouted and watched as the girl became zombie like.
Voldemort then handed the teenager a dagger and stepped back to overlook Virginia's turn.
"Stab yourself." Ginny said and watched as the girl plunged the knife into her side. Ginny then extended her wand again. "Crucio!" She yelled and quickly the teenager dropped down to the floor screaming in agony. Ginny let this torturing go on for a few minutes then decided to put her out of her misery. "Avada Kedavra." The green light blasted from the tip of her wand and hit the girl who instantly died.
"Excellent. You may now stand down with your fellow Death Eater and watch the last person." Voldemort waited until Ginny was standing with his other followers then called upon Draco to come up. Draco successfully did all the tasks and went to stand beside Ginny.
"Meeting Dismissed." Voldemort said meanly then disappeared.
"Potter is coming over tomorrow." Draco said to Ginny as he walked with her up to her bedroom. "He will be here at 10:00 a.m. So be down by 9:30." Once they got to her door he stopped and kissed her softly on the mouth before looking into her eyes. "Good night. I love you."
"I love you too. Night." Ginny said before going into her room and getting ready to go to sleep.
