Voldi *singing*: "Winterbreath and Firegoddess don't own Harry Potter or any of the others, only her OCs, nananana, nananana."
A/N.: As you can see Voldi is, unfortunately, still here!"
Voldi: "Hey! I heard that!"
Me *sarcastically*: "No, really?"
Voldi: "Hmpf!"
Me: "Why are you here anyway, isn't there another person you can bother?"
Voldi: "I want to know how Lucifer is fairing, after all he was sorta my pupil!"
Me *sighing*: "O.K., O.K., just sit down quietly and let me write, will you?"
Voldi *grinning happyly*: "Yes! Thank you" *wants to hug me*
Me *shivering at the sight of seeing him smile happyly and the thought of him hugging me*: "Erm, it's all right, you don't have to hug me. Now on with the fic!"
Voldi: "You forgot the dedication!"
Me: "Whopsi! Do YOU want to do it?"
Vodi: "Sure! Winterbreath and Firegoddess dedicate this chapter to everyone who reviewed. I'm too lazy to say who it was."
Me *looks at him darkly*: "Before we start I'd like to apologise that it took me long to update again. I had a pretty bad cold and afterwards I went to Germany to visit some relatives. I hope you are not too angry with me *makes puppy dog eyes* Oh! And reviews are answered like always at the end of the chapter!"
Chapter 7: BEING UNDERCOVER AMONG PERVERTS CAN BE FUN (guy bashing, yahooooo!!!)
What happened last...
Obscuritas Manor floo room..
When Ginny opened her eyes she found herself standing in a huge chimney carved of black stone, she was in her destination.
"I wonder what awaits me here.." she thought. Suddenly a voice broke her out of her reverie.
"Welcome in Obscuritas Manor Miss Bonetti!"
Following the source of the voice she stepped out of the fireplace and turned left coming face to face with three smugly grinning man.
"Oh joy!" she thought.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Please follow us Miss Bonetti, we will lead you to Mr Damons office!" the man continued.
"Thank you," the now brunette answered dryly.
When they were about to pass the door leading into a dark corridor the very same man motioned her to go first, apparently in a gentleman like act.
"Why don't I like this a bit?" Ginny thought while stepping forward.
She should get her answer immediately. As soon as she had passed him she felt the guys hand on her butt. Quiqly she turned around and rammed her knee into that zone where the sun doesn't shine, catching him completely by surprise. Then she grabbed hold of his arm and spinning around again she flung him over her shoulder and onto the floor, next lifting her left leg so that the (extremely thin, two inches long) heel of her boot was not even an inch apart from his throat while he was lying on the floor, whining and moaning in pain. (A/N: "Muahahahahaha! He deserved it!")
"Never, ever do that again if you want to keep your masculinity intact!" she growled dangerously, "Do you understand me?"
"Y_ Yes," the man stuttered, his eyes wide with fear. Meanwhile his colleagues where laughing their heads of but soon found Ginny sending them a death glare.
"Do you find this funny in any way?" she asked threateningly.
This brought them to stop instantly and had them shaking their heads vigorously instead.
(Voldi: "Weaklings!"
Me *sends him death glare* "What did you say?"
Voli *shivering*: " Ehhhmmm..The wheels of the bus go round and round..?"
Me *sweatdrops*)
Now that everything was according to her satisfaction Ginny retrieved her leg from where it was hovering above the perverted guard (who let out a breath of relieve now that no pointed high heel threatened to pierce his throat anymore) and ordered the three men to bring her to Lucifer Damon. She had been following them for some time now along the corridors of the manor, taking in its.. erm... beauty. She noticed water dripping from the walls, bugs crawling on the floor and a heavy smell of rotten whatever (she didn't really want to know what it was) and figured they were in the dungeons as there weren't any windows to be seen and everything around her was pitch black except for those places illuminated by the dim light of the torches the men were carrying.
"Nice!" she thought scrunching her nose.
Next they were climbing a winding staircase with slippy steps and Ginny thanked god for the balance she had gained during her karate training, else the high heels would have been her death on those stairs. When they were on top of the staircase The man who had groped her opened a big wooden door and the three blew out their torches. They stepped now into a broad corridor laid out with a blood red carpet, old dusty paintings decorating the walls. Most of them were empty, thought you could clearly see that there had been persons portraited in them once.
"No wonder they left," Ginny thought, " If I lived in a place like this I would have run away a long time ago. or at least I'd have gotten a professional to redecorate it!"
Between the paintings there were huge windows with blood red, heavy curtains.
"Cute!" she thought sarcastically, "Black walls, blood red curtains and carpet.. Where am I? Dracula's Castle?.. Hehe, that pervert is still walking funnyly, I didn't know I had kicked him so hard"
Soon they were standing in front of a large, carved wooden door which marked the end of the corridor.
"Here we are," one of the two who had laughed at his colleague said while the groper knocked on the door.
"Who is there?" asked a dripping cold voice form the inside.
"Here's Mathews, sir. I bring Miss Bonetti!"
"Very well, come in then," the other person snarled.
Mathews opened the door and motioned Ginny to go first again. With a warning glance at him she passed and entered the room closely followed by the others.
"Welcome Miss Bonetti, I am Lucifer Damon. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Ginny bowed, happy he couldn't see the mocking _expression which was on her mind when she answered: "The pleasure is all mine!"
'About as much pleasure as putting your arm into a bin full of scorpions, worms and other similar creatures,' she thought.
Then she shifted her gaze to get a closer look at the man in front of her. He was tall, she could see that even if he was sitting in a chair. His black hair went down till under his shoulders and his features were aristocratic and handsome. But the most amazing thing about him were his eyes, they were deep blue and held a violet shimmer in them, they would have been beautiful if they weren't cold and full of anger and hate.
Suddenly his eyes shifted to Mathews.
"Why are you fidgeting so much, and why that pained face?" he demanded harshly.
Ginny cackled evilly: "Oh, it's nothing! He just got himself a major case of groping pervert's disease!"
Damon smirked in understanding: "I see.. Well you three, you are dismissed, get your lazy asses back to work before I have to curse you. I'll have many thing to talk about with Miss Bonetti."
Mathews and the other two bowed and left the room, leaving Ginny and Lucifer alone.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Meanwhile in Mystic Alley Nr 3...
Kevin had retreated to his room like he always did when Ginny was on such a mission. Even if he didn't say it out loud or admitted it to himself, he was preoccupied about her safety although he knew what she was capable of. He was always afraid of her cover being blowed up, afraid of losing her, his only love, the light in his life..
(A/N: "Ahhh yes, young love!"
Kevin apparates in the room: "You are only jealous cause you have no boyfriend, ,neither you nor Firegoddess!"
Me *gets teary eyed*: "I'm a loseeeeer"
Voldi *gives Kevin thumbs up*: "Way to go guy!").
Luna and Harry as well as Draco and Hermione sat in the living room cuddled in each others arms (their respective partner's that is.) and were wondering how Ginny was fairing. Ron had left for yet another date with Lavender having to endure the other's teasing about when he was going to propose to her, a very delicate question which always left Ron with a nice, crimson coloured face.
"She's probably talking to Lucifer right now," Hermione mused.
Luna smiled and nodded: "The only thing we can do is wait, she promised to contact us as soon as she was done with him."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Back to Obscuritas Manor..
"Well Miss Bonetti, I'm glad to have you here, especially as I already got to see some results of your skills." he grinned remembering the pained _expression on Mathews' face.
Ginny put on her best evil grin, which was pretty scary, mind you, and answered: "Thank you Mr. Damon, the honour is on my side. I always wanted to work together with a man of your capacity and reputation. I'm sure everything will go well."
"Oh, it surely will, I'll take care of that.. Anyway, what do you know exactly about my newest plan?"
"Well, I know that the Scroll of Evil is in your possession and so it's easy to guess what your going to do. take over the world."
"Very true Miss Bonetti, but that's not everything. I'm also out for personal revenge. You see, my wife was murdered during one of our missions which was intercepted by a famous trio of fighters. One of them was the one who killed her and now is going to pay" he finished with a hiss.
"A famous group of fighters? Who was it?" she asked innocently although she knew exactly.
Lucifer smiled: "I'm not going to tell you all my secrets right now Miss Bonetti, perhaps sometime later. Now moving to the Scroll of Evil issue, the ceremony will be held next week, on Thursday to be more accurate. Till then our main mission is to protect the scroll from people wanting to steal it. In other words the Auror top trio and Albus' Angels who both got in the way of my plans far to often for my liking."
"Lara" huffed in disdain: "Yeah, we had some problems with both of them, too! I'm happy that, after the scroll's power is unleashed, they will be anihilated."
Lucifer flashed her a sinister smile: "I see we pretty much think alike Miss Bonetti, I actually find myself looking forward to working with you. Now I think we should rest. I'll call Jackson, my second man and so you can meet him and then he can escort you to your chamber."
Ginny bowed her head and smiled back: "Thank you Mr Damon, I'm actually pretty tired."
Throwing a bit of floo powder into the fire which was burning in a chimney located in the wall to his right (the window was to the left) he called for Jackson's office and asked him to come over. Some minutes later a knock on the door was heard.
"Come in Jackson!" Lucifer Damon called out in his usual cold voice.
Ginny turned towards the door and saw a blond man with an ugly scar across his left cheek enter the room. "Miss Bonetti, allow me to introduce you to Mr Jackson Hunter, Jackson this is Lara Bonetti" the two of them shook hand smiling coldly at each other.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Hunter said in a business like tone.
"Same with me." Ginny answered with equal enthusiasm.
"Well then, I've got some affairs to take care of, Jackson would you please show Miss Bonetti to her room?" Damon asked his old friend.
The scar faced man nodded: "Sure Lucifer. Please follow me Miss Bonetti."
Ginny turned to Lucifer: "I'll see you later Mr Damon."
Lucifer nodded and the two left the room. Soon they were silently walking along the manor's dark corridors, Ginny a few steps behind Jackson. Some corridors and a flight of stairs later they arrived in front of a door.
"This will be your quarters," Jackson said taking out a key and handing it to Ginny, "Dinner will be served in the dining room at 8.30 pm, someone will come and pick you up five minutes earlier. I have to go now, have a good rest."
Without waiting for an answer he turned around leaving her behind. Ginny scowled at his back and opened the room with her key. As she entered she felt even more like in a horror movie. Only a dim light illuminated the room due to a huge tree growing right in front of the window, it's thin, skeleton like branches swaying in the wind and casting oddly shaped shadows on the walls. Old pieces of furniture were scattered around the room, A huge four poster bed stood in the middle, it's dark blue see through curtains closed. She had a feeling that it had been a log time since someone last lived between these walls and she felt a shiver down her spine.
"I guess I'll just contact the girls now" she thought, "Hello girls!"
"Hey Gin!" came the immediate and unison answer.
"So tell us, how is it there?" Hermione inquired.
"This place is like bloody Dracula's castle!" Ginny exclaimed exasperated.
"Which one, the movie's or the real one?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, cause I found Vlad to actually have some taste for interior décor and I thought you liked his house, too." Hermione added.
"Well, I mean the one of the movie, you can also take Frankenstein's castle for all I care! The thing is, this place gives me the creeps and if that wasn't enough I already got groped!"
"Oh boy, I'm pittying the guy who did that. Bet he's suffering from groping perverts disease right now?" Luna threw in, her evil grin evident in her voice.
"Yeah, being undercover among perverts can be fun!" Ginny agreed.
"That's if you enjoy guy bashing as much as you do!" Hermione stated.
"Oh, come on Mione, as if you didn't enjoy kicking some ass!" The three girls laughed, Luna and Hermione also out loud leaving Harry and Draco feeling left aside.
"O.K., back to the business," Ginny said when they had recovered, "I didn't really find out very much till now, only what we already knew. Oh, and it seems Lucifer is also out for revenge for the death of his wife.."
"Ow." Hermione moaned weakly.
"Yeah." Luna agreed.
"Well, better tell the boys now, I'll just lay down for a while and then get a shower, at least this creepy room has an en suite bathroom! Bye girls"
The connection broke and Luna and Hermione directed their gaze towards the boys who were already eyeing them expectantly.
"And?" Draco asked when he noticed the girls seemed reluctant about sharing the news with him.
The two looked uncertainly at each other but it was Luna who finally spoke.
"It seems that there is more to this whole thing than just Lucifer wanting to take over the world," she said with a sigh retelling the conversation to the boys. What they heard left them pensive.
"So he wants revenge." Harry whispered.
Luna nodded: "I'm afraid so!"
Suddenly Hermione stood up, determination written clearly on her face: "Well there's nothing we can do now until we know how exactly he wants to avenge his wife's death. I for my part am going to break the news to Kevin, be back in a few minutes!"
With that she left the room, leaving the other three behind.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Obscuritas Manor, dinner time...
In the meantime Ginny had changed into burgundy red dress robes because she guessed that dinner was a formal thing at Obscuritas Manor. She had just finished applying some discrete make up after pinning her hair up elegantly when she heard a knock on the door.
"Must be my escort to the dining room," she mumbled to herself and went to open the door. Outside stood a man whose eyes shone with lust when he saw her, looking her up and down. As soon as his gaze met hers she gave him the Angel's patented physical harm promising, ice-cold death glare. Her personal one held more Physical harm promise, Luna's held more ice-coldness and Hermione's held more death. but there were only subtle differences, the fact is, it worked, the man looked hastily away, seeming extremely interested in the tapestry hanging on the wall while he tried to conceal the fright in his eyes. Ginny grinned evilly, he had no doubt heard what had happened to his companion and thought it to be an overreaction. Most men didn't believe women could intimidate them until they met the Angels. or got married that is! (A/N: ^_^)
She followed the man who introduced himself as David Burke through a mass of corridors and staircases and thanked her good memory for it would allow her to find her way back after dinner and to the dining hall next time. She didn't like to depend on others.
Soon they reached the dining hall which could only be described as pompous. I was doubtless the centre of the house and its owners had done everything to show their wealth and power in it. Big crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling which was decorated with paintings, tapestry in rich golden and red tones decorated the walls, thick velvet curtains kept the night breeze from getting into the room and a huge marvel chimney took half of the back wall. Above it a portrait of Lucifer's wife hung, it had her size in real life and it was framed with carved gold. On each side of the fireplace there was an armour, one carrying an axe, the other one a spear, both had the Damon family's crest printed on their chest, a crossed, silver coloured sword and spear behind a blood red, fire breathing dragon with extended wings all on black ground.
Ginny greeted Lucifer and was introduced to his closest co-workers who were all sitting there and soon the house elves brought the entry in. The red head aknowledged the extreme unfriendliness with which the men treated the small magical creatures and frowned inwardly, she had never been a member of S.P.E.W., but this was going too far. She thanked god that Hermione wasn't the one doing this job cause she would have surely blown up her cover going on a bout elvish rights (she still hadn't given it up). Well, if anything went according to plan these elves would be free soon.
"They'll surely be able to get work at Hogwarts," Ginny mused, "Wait, I'm going off the topic, I'm here to cross Damon's plans, not on a house elf liberation mission! I definetly spent too much time with Hermione."
Dinner went by quietly and soon she, Lucifer and Jackson Hunter had retired into Lucifer's office in order to discuss some matters over a brandy. Before he poured their drinks in though, Damon called a man by the name of Quentin Albury through the interior floo net and told him to come to his office for he had a task for him which should be fulfilled the next day.
They hadn't even started their conversation when there was a knock on the door and a handsome but nevertheless dangerous looking man entered the room.
"Ahh, Quentin, meet miss Bonetti. Miss Bonetti, this is Quentin Albury, he should have been there at dinner, but he prefers eating with his men, he is the chief of my. obstacle removing group," he finished with a meaningful grin.
Ginny eyed Quentin, he was tall and blond with dark brown eyes and a charming, yet false smile which you could see if you looked closer and had met false friendlyness before. Ginny guessed that his smile had been the downfall of many women who didn't know better and realized once more how important a good judgement of people was in life.
"It's nice to meet you miss Bonetti, you're already pretty known in here since you arrived. I heard you put Mathews into his place, it was about time someone did it!"
Ginny smiled and shook his hand although she noticed he was trying to flatter her, probably hoping he would get into her bed that way, she could read it in his eyes as he couldn't quiet conceal the lust flackering in them, she also noticed he was constantly racking her body with his eyes when he thought she couldn't see it.
"Well Quentin, I asked you here to show you this," Lucifer said beckoning the other man over to him and showing him a photo he had taken out of an envelope,
"Please, take care that this obstacle is removed. I'll make you a copy so you can show it to your man, but I'd rather keep the photo. Replicatus!" Immediately another photo appeared in Lucifer's hand and he handed it over to Albury who took it and promised he'd have taken care of it before dusk the next day before wishing a good nights rest, throwing a smug grin at Ginny, and leaving the room. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to see the photo as the men had been standing too far away and she only had seen the photo's back. It would have been too suspicious if she had asked to take a look at the photos, so she decided to come back later in the night, when nobody would see her.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Meanwhile, Mystic Alley Nr 3
Hermione had already told Kevin everything about their conversation with Ginny and now they were all sitting together in the living room discussing the latest events.
"We'll have to wait and see how exactly he wants to take revenge," Draco mused.
"Yeah, but Ginny will find out soon, knowing her, most probably tonight!" Luna answered.
"Let's stop this gloomy talk, I'm beginning to feel depressed. When the time comes, we'll deal with whatever we have to face, now let's just change topic. Girls, did we hear right when we thought you said you had been in Dracula's castle?" Harry interrupted their former conversation.
Hermione nodded grinning, "Yes, you heard right. He helped us in a case where we were fighting against a vampire terrorists gang. Ironically enough, though vampire stories started with him he's a very nice guy."
"The perfect gentleman!" Luna agreed, "He also taught us the basics of swordsfighting while we stayed at his place."
"And he had a great sense of humour, I remember us laughing pretty often during our conversations with him." Kevin added.
For the next hour before saying goodbye to each other and retire for the night Kevin and the girls told Harry and Draco everything about their adventure with Vlad and of course about the Mississippi mission the guys had wanted to hear about. Both were send into fits of laughter when they heard how exactly the girls had ended up in the water.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Two o'clock in the morning, Obscuritas Manor
It was pitch black outside, except for the dim light the stars and the grownig moon provided when Ginny noiselessly slid from her warm and comfy bed and into her special cat-suit which was made of the same material as invisibility clothes. Thanks to Hermione it had been additionaly charmed into allowing the her to go through walls, a spell which the clever which had invented after their first misssion where it would have come in handy. Thanks to this she wouldn't need to open doors which cause a great amount of noise, especially in old manors like this. Nevertheless she cast a silencium spell on herslef, it was an improved version which would make her every move soundless. When she was ready she left her room and crept towards Lucifer's office, careful not to bump into any of the guards who were patroling the corridors. When she had finally reached her destination and entered said office she let out a small sigh of relieve and whispered another silencium spell to shield out any sound she would surely make inside the boureau from the corridors. She had engraved in her memory were Damon had put the photos, so thankfully she wouldn't have to search for a very long time. "Lara" went straight to Lucifer's desk and opened the drawer registred in her memory and was soon holding the brown envelope in her hands. Suddenly a strange sense of foreboding overcame her and, feeling anxious she opened it, taking the two photos out. The one on the top showed her and her friends sitting in a café. "So that's why we were being followed!" she thought. Then Ginny noticed that her fingers were feeling something strange on the photo below, it was like a scratch, like it had been torn. Putting away the photo of the group she looked at the other one. and gasped.
A/N:
Me: "Well, that was the seventh chapter!"
Kevin: "I loved the part where my Ginny beats that guy's ass!"
Voldi: "Those were weak." *stops when he sees Winterbreath's threatening glance*
Suddenly the door opens and Pansy walks in.
Pansy *cheerfuly*: "Hello Everybody!"
Me: "Hey Pansy! How come you came?"
Pansy: "I just wanted to see Ginny beat guys up like you told Mione and me in the Love Conspiracy author's note."
Me: "Seems like that is everybody's favourite part."
Voldi: "Wait a minute Parkinson, did you just say 'Mione'?"
Pansy: "Umh.. Yeah! She's my best friend after all!"
Voldi *laughing*: "Your best friend, that's hilarious! A whiny brat and a mudblood are best friends!"
Pansy *pissed off*: "Would you please stop that!"
Voldi *still laughing*: "She wants to threaten me!"
Kevin *noticing Pansy's murderous look*: "Ehh. Voldi, I would do what she says!"
Voldi *in baby voice*: "If I don't what will she do, bore me to death?"
Pansy *really pissed off*: "That's enough!" *a mallet appears in her hand out of thin air and she hits him into the orbit*
Kevin *awed*: "Wow! How did you do that? You didn't even use a wand to make the mallet appear!"
Pansy *grinning with satisfaction*: "That's something I learned from watching anime and reading manga!"
Kevin: "Cool!"
Me: "And then they say it's good for nothing!"
Voldi: "Falling back down to earth*: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" *THUD!!!!*
Me *grinning mischievously*: "Hey Voldi! How was your orbiting?"
Voldi *mumbles something incoherent and then turns to Pansy*: "Hey you, that hurt great deal!"
Pansy *rolls eyes*: "Stop being such a baby. Why don't you sue me! Oh, I forgot, you are dead.." *grins evilly*
Voldi *whiny*: "Winterbreeeeaaaath!!!!"
Me: "She's right! Go complain to someone else!"
Voldi *looks hopefully at Kevin*
Kevin *shakes his head*
Voldi *crying*: "Nobody loves meeee! Grindewaaaaaald!" *disapparates*
Pansy *sighing with relieve*: "Thank god he's gone! Now I can read this story in peace."
Me: "Great! Meanwhile I'll review and then I'll meet you in the author's note of the seventh chapter of Love Conspiracy."
Pansy *nods*: "K., see ya!"
Kevin *to Winterbreath*: "Do you want me to help you? So I can kill time till Ginny comes back to me!"
Me: "How sweet! Of course you can help me! Here goes!"
Answers to your reviews:
Firehottie: First of all, thanks for your review, I'm always happy about new reviewers. Well here was the seventh chapter, I hope you like it. Keep on reading please!
Jessica Black 5: Well, the sixth chapter was reposted and isn't so cramped anymore, I don't know what happened there. Thanks for reviewing again, I kinda missed your review in the fifth chapter, I hope your holidays were nice though, mine certainly were!
Queen Cari: I know that Luna is pretty OOC, but well I can't help it. In such a fic it's difficult to let her be herself. As to the sequel thing, I'll probably write one although I don't know when cause I have no idea what about (On the contrary to Love Conspiracy where the idea for the sequel was there before the idea for the story itself! It was a kind of Prologue now I'll be using as Epilogue and start for the sequel). I think this time I didn't take sooo long to update, so please don't AK me! *makes puppy dog eyes*
ProwlingKitKat: Thanks for your review, I'm glad you like the fic. I hope I updated fast enough for your liking. I already started the next chapter for Love Conspiracy, too. It should come out next week. Keep on reading both stories please!
Important final announcement (by Kevin): This will most probably be Winterbreath's last chapter before someday in January. She'll be going on holiday to south Spain (Málaga) on December the 25th and stay there till January 7th. Before she goes she still has to update her other story, do some more Christmas shopping and meet her friends (some of whom she hasn't seen for months cause they are studying in Germany) to see Lord of the Rings: The return of the King. So you do the maths about the chances to get another chapter done before she leaves!
Me: "Yeah, sorry about that! I hope you can forgive me!" *makes puppy dog eyes* "Before I forget, Merry Christmas from the whole Albus' Angels crew!"
Little note from Lucius Sikilmituile (who is responsible for posting this): Please don't kill me, pleasedon'tkillme, pleasedon'tkillme! *desperated* I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but everytime I went into my e-mail account there were so many updatenotices, I never realased Winterbreaths mail at all. I promise, next time I'll post it sooner. *on her knees infront of all readers* SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Voldi *singing*: "Winterbreath and Firegoddess don't own Harry Potter or any of the others, only her OCs, nananana, nananana."
A/N.: As you can see Voldi is, unfortunately, still here!"
Voldi: "Hey! I heard that!"
Me *sarcastically*: "No, really?"
Voldi: "Hmpf!"
Me: "Why are you here anyway, isn't there another person you can bother?"
Voldi: "I want to know how Lucifer is fairing, after all he was sorta my pupil!"
Me *sighing*: "O.K., O.K., just sit down quietly and let me write, will you?"
Voldi *grinning happyly*: "Yes! Thank you" *wants to hug me*
Me *shivering at the sight of seeing him smile happyly and the thought of him hugging me*: "Erm, it's all right, you don't have to hug me. Now on with the fic!"
Voldi: "You forgot the dedication!"
Me: "Whopsi! Do YOU want to do it?"
Vodi: "Sure! Winterbreath and Firegoddess dedicate this chapter to everyone who reviewed. I'm too lazy to say who it was."
Me *looks at him darkly*: "Before we start I'd like to apologise that it took me long to update again. I had a pretty bad cold and afterwards I went to Germany to visit some relatives. I hope you are not too angry with me *makes puppy dog eyes* Oh! And reviews are answered like always at the end of the chapter!"
Chapter 7: BEING UNDERCOVER AMONG PERVERTS CAN BE FUN (guy bashing, yahooooo!!!)
What happened last...
Obscuritas Manor floo room..
When Ginny opened her eyes she found herself standing in a huge chimney carved of black stone, she was in her destination.
"I wonder what awaits me here.." she thought. Suddenly a voice broke her out of her reverie.
"Welcome in Obscuritas Manor Miss Bonetti!"
Following the source of the voice she stepped out of the fireplace and turned left coming face to face with three smugly grinning man.
"Oh joy!" she thought.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Please follow us Miss Bonetti, we will lead you to Mr Damons office!" the man continued.
"Thank you," the now brunette answered dryly.
When they were about to pass the door leading into a dark corridor the very same man motioned her to go first, apparently in a gentleman like act.
"Why don't I like this a bit?" Ginny thought while stepping forward.
She should get her answer immediately. As soon as she had passed him she felt the guys hand on her butt. Quiqly she turned around and rammed her knee into that zone where the sun doesn't shine, catching him completely by surprise. Then she grabbed hold of his arm and spinning around again she flung him over her shoulder and onto the floor, next lifting her left leg so that the (extremely thin, two inches long) heel of her boot was not even an inch apart from his throat while he was lying on the floor, whining and moaning in pain. (A/N: "Muahahahahaha! He deserved it!")
"Never, ever do that again if you want to keep your masculinity intact!" she growled dangerously, "Do you understand me?"
"Y_ Yes," the man stuttered, his eyes wide with fear. Meanwhile his colleagues where laughing their heads of but soon found Ginny sending them a death glare.
"Do you find this funny in any way?" she asked threateningly.
This brought them to stop instantly and had them shaking their heads vigorously instead.
(Voldi: "Weaklings!"
Me *sends him death glare* "What did you say?"
Voli *shivering*: " Ehhhmmm..The wheels of the bus go round and round..?"
Me *sweatdrops*)
Now that everything was according to her satisfaction Ginny retrieved her leg from where it was hovering above the perverted guard (who let out a breath of relieve now that no pointed high heel threatened to pierce his throat anymore) and ordered the three men to bring her to Lucifer Damon. She had been following them for some time now along the corridors of the manor, taking in its.. erm... beauty. She noticed water dripping from the walls, bugs crawling on the floor and a heavy smell of rotten whatever (she didn't really want to know what it was) and figured they were in the dungeons as there weren't any windows to be seen and everything around her was pitch black except for those places illuminated by the dim light of the torches the men were carrying.
"Nice!" she thought scrunching her nose.
Next they were climbing a winding staircase with slippy steps and Ginny thanked god for the balance she had gained during her karate training, else the high heels would have been her death on those stairs. When they were on top of the staircase The man who had groped her opened a big wooden door and the three blew out their torches. They stepped now into a broad corridor laid out with a blood red carpet, old dusty paintings decorating the walls. Most of them were empty, thought you could clearly see that there had been persons portraited in them once.
"No wonder they left," Ginny thought, " If I lived in a place like this I would have run away a long time ago. or at least I'd have gotten a professional to redecorate it!"
Between the paintings there were huge windows with blood red, heavy curtains.
"Cute!" she thought sarcastically, "Black walls, blood red curtains and carpet.. Where am I? Dracula's Castle?.. Hehe, that pervert is still walking funnyly, I didn't know I had kicked him so hard"
Soon they were standing in front of a large, carved wooden door which marked the end of the corridor.
"Here we are," one of the two who had laughed at his colleague said while the groper knocked on the door.
"Who is there?" asked a dripping cold voice form the inside.
"Here's Mathews, sir. I bring Miss Bonetti!"
"Very well, come in then," the other person snarled.
Mathews opened the door and motioned Ginny to go first again. With a warning glance at him she passed and entered the room closely followed by the others.
"Welcome Miss Bonetti, I am Lucifer Damon. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Ginny bowed, happy he couldn't see the mocking _expression which was on her mind when she answered: "The pleasure is all mine!"
'About as much pleasure as putting your arm into a bin full of scorpions, worms and other similar creatures,' she thought.
Then she shifted her gaze to get a closer look at the man in front of her. He was tall, she could see that even if he was sitting in a chair. His black hair went down till under his shoulders and his features were aristocratic and handsome. But the most amazing thing about him were his eyes, they were deep blue and held a violet shimmer in them, they would have been beautiful if they weren't cold and full of anger and hate.
Suddenly his eyes shifted to Mathews.
"Why are you fidgeting so much, and why that pained face?" he demanded harshly.
Ginny cackled evilly: "Oh, it's nothing! He just got himself a major case of groping pervert's disease!"
Damon smirked in understanding: "I see.. Well you three, you are dismissed, get your lazy asses back to work before I have to curse you. I'll have many thing to talk about with Miss Bonetti."
Mathews and the other two bowed and left the room, leaving Ginny and Lucifer alone.

Meanwhile in Mystic Alley Nr 3...
Kevin had retreated to his room like he always did when Ginny was on such a mission. Even if he didn't say it out loud or admitted it to himself, he was preoccupied about her safety although he knew what she was capable of. He was always afraid of her cover being blowed up, afraid of losing her, his only love, the light in his life..
(A/N: "Ahhh yes, young love!"
Kevin apparates in the room: "You are only jealous cause you have no boyfriend, ,neither you nor Firegoddess!"
Me *gets teary eyed*: "I'm a loseeeeer"
Voldi *gives Kevin thumbs up*: "Way to go guy!").
Luna and Harry as well as Draco and Hermione sat in the living room cuddled in each others arms (their respective partner's that is.) and were wondering how Ginny was fairing. Ron had left for yet another date with Lavender having to endure the other's teasing about when he was going to propose to her, a very delicate question which always left Ron with a nice, crimson coloured face.
"She's probably talking to Lucifer right now," Hermione mused.
Luna smiled and nodded: "The only thing we can do is wait, she promised to contact us as soon as she was done with him."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Back to Obscuritas Manor..
"Well Miss Bonetti, I'm glad to have you here, especially as I already got to see some results of your skills." he grinned remembering the pained _expression on Mathews' face.
Ginny put on her best evil grin, which was pretty scary, mind you, and answered: "Thank you Mr. Damon, the honour is on my side. I always wanted to work together with a man of your capacity and reputation. I'm sure everything will go well."
"Oh, it surely will, I'll take care of that.. Anyway, what do you know exactly about my newest plan?"
"Well, I know that the Scroll of Evil is in your possession and so it's easy to guess what your going to do. take over the world."
"Very true Miss Bonetti, but that's not everything. I'm also out for personal revenge. You see, my wife was murdered during one of our missions which was intercepted by a famous trio of fighters. One of them was the one who killed her and now is going to pay" he finished with a hiss.
"A famous group of fighters? Who was it?" she asked innocently although she knew exactly.
Lucifer smiled: "I'm not going to tell you all my secrets right now Miss Bonetti, perhaps sometime later. Now moving to the Scroll of Evil issue, the ceremony will be held next week, on Thursday to be more accurate. Till then our main mission is to protect the scroll from people wanting to steal it. In other words the Auror top trio and Albus' Angels who both got in the way of my plans far to often for my liking."
"Lara" huffed in disdain: "Yeah, we had some problems with both of them, too! I'm happy that, after the scroll's power is unleashed, they will be anihilated."
Lucifer flashed her a sinister smile: "I see we pretty much think alike Miss Bonetti, I actually find myself looking forward to working with you. Now I think we should rest. I'll call Jackson, my second man and so you can meet him and then he can escort you to your chamber."
Ginny bowed her head and smiled back: "Thank you Mr Damon, I'm actually pretty tired."
Throwing a bit of floo powder into the fire which was burning in a chimney located in the wall to his right (the window was to the left) he called for Jackson's office and asked him to come over. Some minutes later a knock on the door was heard.
"Come in Jackson!" Lucifer Damon called out in his usual cold voice.
Ginny turned towards the door and saw a blond man with an ugly scar across his left cheek enter the room. "Miss Bonetti, allow me to introduce you to Mr Jackson Hunter, Jackson this is Lara Bonetti" the two of them shook hand smiling coldly at each other.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Hunter said in a business like tone.
"Same with me." Ginny answered with equal enthusiasm.
"Well then, I've got some affairs to take care of, Jackson would you please show Miss Bonetti to her room?" Damon asked his old friend.
The scar faced man nodded: "Sure Lucifer. Please follow me Miss Bonetti."
Ginny turned to Lucifer: "I'll see you later Mr Damon."
Lucifer nodded and the two left the room. Soon they were silently walking along the manor's dark corridors, Ginny a few steps behind Jackson. Some corridors and a flight of stairs later they arrived in front of a door.
"This will be your quarters," Jackson said taking out a key and handing it to Ginny, "Dinner will be served in the dining room at 8.30 pm, someone will come and pick you up five minutes earlier. I have to go now, have a good rest."
Without waiting for an answer he turned around leaving her behind. Ginny scowled at his back and opened the room with her key. As she entered she felt even more like in a horror movie. Only a dim light illuminated the room due to a huge tree growing right in front of the window, it's thin, skeleton like branches swaying in the wind and casting oddly shaped shadows on the walls. Old pieces of furniture were scattered around the room, A huge four poster bed stood in the middle, it's dark blue see through curtains closed. She had a feeling that it had been a log time since someone last lived between these walls and she felt a shiver down her spine.
"I guess I'll just contact the girls now" she thought, "Hello girls!"
"Hey Gin!" came the immediate and unison answer.
"So tell us, how is it there?" Hermione inquired.
"This place is like bloody Dracula's castle!" Ginny exclaimed exasperated.
"Which one, the movie's or the real one?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, cause I found Vlad to actually have some taste for interior décor and I thought you liked his house, too." Hermione added.
"Well, I mean the one of the movie, you can also take Frankenstein's castle for all I care! The thing is, this place gives me the creeps and if that wasn't enough I already got groped!"
"Oh boy, I'm pittying the guy who did that. Bet he's suffering from groping perverts disease right now?" Luna threw in, her evil grin evident in her voice.
"Yeah, being undercover among perverts can be fun!" Ginny agreed.
"That's if you enjoy guy bashing as much as you do!" Hermione stated.
"Oh, come on Mione, as if you didn't enjoy kicking some ass!" The three girls laughed, Luna and Hermione also out loud leaving Harry and Draco feeling left aside.
"O.K., back to the business," Ginny said when they had recovered, "I didn't really find out very much till now, only what we already knew. Oh, and it seems Lucifer is also out for revenge for the death of his wife.."
"Ow." Hermione moaned weakly.
"Yeah." Luna agreed.
"Well, better tell the boys now, I'll just lay down for a while and then get a shower, at least this creepy room has an en suite bathroom! Bye girls"
The connection broke and Luna and Hermione directed their gaze towards the boys who were already eyeing them expectantly.
"And?" Draco asked when he noticed the girls seemed reluctant about sharing the news with him.
The two looked uncertainly at each other but it was Luna who finally spoke.
"It seems that there is more to this whole thing than just Lucifer wanting to take over the world," she said with a sigh retelling the conversation to the boys. What they heard left them pensive.
"So he wants revenge." Harry whispered.
Luna nodded: "I'm afraid so!"
Suddenly Hermione stood up, determination written clearly on her face: "Well there's nothing we can do now until we know how exactly he wants to avenge his wife's death. I for my part am going to break the news to Kevin, be back in a few minutes!"
With that she left the room, leaving the other three behind.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Obscuritas Manor, dinner time...
In the meantime Ginny had changed into burgundy red dress robes because she guessed that dinner was a formal thing at Obscuritas Manor. She had just finished applying some discrete make up after pinning her hair up elegantly when she heard a knock on the door.
"Must be my escort to the dining room," she mumbled to herself and went to open the door. Outside stood a man whose eyes shone with lust when he saw her, looking her up and down. As soon as his gaze met hers she gave him the Angel's patented physical harm promising, ice-cold death glare. Her personal one held more Physical harm promise, Luna's held more ice-coldness and Hermione's held more death. but there were only subtle differences, the fact is, it worked, the man looked hastily away, seeming extremely interested in the tapestry hanging on the wall while he tried to conceal the fright in his eyes. Ginny grinned evilly, he had no doubt heard what had happened to his companion and thought it to be an overreaction. Most men didn't believe women could intimidate them until they met the Angels. or got married that is! (A/N: ^_^)
She followed the man who introduced himself as David Burke through a mass of corridors and staircases and thanked her good memory for it would allow her to find her way back after dinner and to the dining hall next time. She didn't like to depend on others.
Soon they reached the dining hall which could only be described as pompous. I was doubtless the centre of the house and its owners had done everything to show their wealth and power in it. Big crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling which was decorated with paintings, tapestry in rich golden and red tones decorated the walls, thick velvet curtains kept the night breeze from getting into the room and a huge marvel chimney took half of the back wall. Above it a portrait of Lucifer's wife hung, it had her size in real life and it was framed with carved gold. On each side of the fireplace there was an armour, one carrying an axe, the other one a spear, both had the Damon family's crest printed on their chest, a crossed, silver coloured sword and spear behind a blood red, fire breathing dragon with extended wings all on black ground.
Ginny greeted Lucifer and was introduced to his closest co-workers who were all sitting there and soon the house elves brought the entry in. The red head aknowledged the extreme unfriendliness with which the men treated the small magical creatures and frowned inwardly, she had never been a member of S.P.E.W., but this was going too far. She thanked god that Hermione wasn't the one doing this job cause she would have surely blown up her cover going on a bout elvish rights (she still hadn't given it up). Well, if anything went according to plan these elves would be free soon.
"They'll surely be able to get work at Hogwarts," Ginny mused, "Wait, I'm going off the topic, I'm here to cross Damon's plans, not on a house elf liberation mission! I definetly spent too much time with Hermione."
Dinner went by quietly and soon she, Lucifer and Jackson Hunter had retired into Lucifer's office in order to discuss some matters over a brandy. Before he poured their drinks in though, Damon called a man by the name of Quentin Albury through the interior floo net and told him to come to his office for he had a task for him which should be fulfilled the next day.
They hadn't even started their conversation when there was a knock on the door and a handsome but nevertheless dangerous looking man entered the room.
"Ahh, Quentin, meet miss Bonetti. Miss Bonetti, this is Quentin Albury, he should have been there at dinner, but he prefers eating with his men, he is the chief of my. obstacle removing group," he finished with a meaningful grin.
Ginny eyed Quentin, he was tall and blond with dark brown eyes and a charming, yet false smile which you could see if you looked closer and had met false friendlyness before. Ginny guessed that his smile had been the downfall of many women who didn't know better and realized once more how important a good judgement of people was in life.
"It's nice to meet you miss Bonetti, you're already pretty known in here since you arrived. I heard you put Mathews into his place, it was about time someone did it!"
Ginny smiled and shook his hand although she noticed he was trying to flatter her, probably hoping he would get into her bed that way, she could read it in his eyes as he couldn't quiet conceal the lust flackering in them, she also noticed he was constantly racking her body with his eyes when he thought she couldn't see it.
"Well Quentin, I asked you here to show you this," Lucifer said beckoning the other man over to him and showing him a photo he had taken out of an envelope,
"Please, take care that this obstacle is removed. I'll make you a copy so you can show it to your man, but I'd rather keep the photo. Replicatus!" Immediately another photo appeared in Lucifer's hand and he handed it over to Albury who took it and promised he'd have taken care of it before dusk the next day before wishing a good nights rest, throwing a smug grin at Ginny, and leaving the room. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to see the photo as the men had been standing too far away and she only had seen the photo's back. It would have been too suspicious if she had asked to take a look at the photos, so she decided to come back later in the night, when nobody would see her.

Meanwhile, Mystic Alley Nr 3
Hermione had already told Kevin everything about their conversation with Ginny and now they were all sitting together in the living room discussing the latest events.
"We'll have to wait and see how exactly he wants to take revenge," Draco mused.
"Yeah, but Ginny will find out soon, knowing her, most probably tonight!" Luna answered.
"Let's stop this gloomy talk, I'm beginning to feel depressed. When the time comes, we'll deal with whatever we have to face, now let's just change topic. Girls, did we hear right when we thought you said you had been in Dracula's castle?" Harry interrupted their former conversation.
Hermione nodded grinning, "Yes, you heard right. He helped us in a case where we were fighting against a vampire terrorists gang. Ironically enough, though vampire stories started with him he's a very nice guy."
"The perfect gentleman!" Luna agreed, "He also taught us the basics of swordsfighting while we stayed at his place."
"And he had a great sense of humour, I remember us laughing pretty often during our conversations with him." Kevin added.
For the next hour before saying goodbye to each other and retire for the night Kevin and the girls told Harry and Draco everything about their adventure with Vlad and of course about the Mississippi mission the guys had wanted to hear about. Both were send into fits of laughter when they heard how exactly the girls had ended up in the water.

Two o'clock in the morning, Obscuritas Manor
It was pitch black outside, except for the dim light the stars and the grownig moon provided when Ginny noiselessly slid from her warm and comfy bed and into her special cat-suit which was made of the same material as invisibility clothes. Thanks to Hermione it had been additionaly charmed into allowing the her to go through walls, a spell which the clever which had invented after their first misssion where it would have come in handy. Thanks to this she wouldn't need to open doors which cause a great amount of noise, especially in old manors like this. Nevertheless she cast a silencium spell on herslef, it was an improved version which would make her every move soundless. When she was ready she left her room and crept towards Lucifer's office, careful not to bump into any of the guards who were patroling the corridors. When she had finally reached her destination and entered said office she let out a small sigh of relieve and whispered another silencium spell to shield out any sound she would surely make inside the boureau from the corridors. She had engraved in her memory were Damon had put the photos, so thankfully she wouldn't have to search for a very long time. "Lara" went straight to Lucifer's desk and opened the drawer registred in her memory and was soon holding the brown envelope in her hands. Suddenly a strange sense of foreboding overcame her and, feeling anxious she opened it, taking the two photos out. The one on the top showed her and her friends sitting in a café. "So that's why we were being followed!" she thought. Then Ginny noticed that her fingers were feeling something strange on the photo below, it was like a scratch, like it had been torn. Putting away the photo of the group she looked at the other one. and gasped.
A/N:
Me: "Well, that was the seventh chapter!"
Kevin: "I loved the part where my Ginny beats that guy's ass!"
Voldi: "Those were weak." *stops when he sees Winterbreath's threatening glance*
Suddenly the door opens and Pansy walks in.
Pansy *cheerfuly*: "Hello Everybody!"
Me: "Hey Pansy! How come you came?"
Pansy: "I just wanted to see Ginny beat guys up like you told Mione and me in the Love Conspiracy author's note."
Me: "Seems like that is everybody's favourite part."
Voldi: "Wait a minute Parkinson, did you just say 'Mione'?"
Pansy: "Umh.. Yeah! She's my best friend after all!"
Voldi *laughing*: "Your best friend, that's hilarious! A whiny brat and a mudblood are best friends!"
Pansy *pissed off*: "Would you please stop that!"
Voldi *still laughing*: "She wants to threaten me!"
Kevin *noticing Pansy's murderous look*: "Ehh. Voldi, I would do what she says!"
Voldi *in baby voice*: "If I don't what will she do, bore me to death?"
Pansy *really pissed off*: "That's enough!" *a mallet appears in her hand out of thin air and she hits him into the orbit*
Kevin *awed*: "Wow! How did you do that? You didn't even use a wand to make the mallet appear!"
Pansy *grinning with satisfaction*: "That's something I learned from watching anime and reading manga!"
Kevin: "Cool!"
Me: "And then they say it's good for nothing!"
Voldi: "Falling back down to earth*: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" *THUD!!!!*
Me *grinning mischievously*: "Hey Voldi! How was your orbiting?"
Voldi *mumbles something incoherent and then turns to Pansy*: "Hey you, that hurt great deal!"
Pansy *rolls eyes*: "Stop being such a baby. Why don't you sue me! Oh, I forgot, you are dead.." *grins evilly*
Voldi *whiny*: "Winterbreeeeaaaath!!!!"
Me: "She's right! Go complain to someone else!"
Voldi *looks hopefully at Kevin*
Kevin *shakes his head*
Voldi *crying*: "Nobody loves meeee! Grindewaaaaaald!" *disapparates*
Pansy *sighing with relieve*: "Thank god he's gone! Now I can read this story in peace."
Me: "Great! Meanwhile I'll review and then I'll meet you in the author's note of the seventh chapter of Love Conspiracy."
Pansy *nods*: "K., see ya!"
Kevin *to Winterbreath*: "Do you want me to help you? So I can kill time till Ginny comes back to me!"
Me: "How sweet! Of course you can help me! Here goes!"
Answers to your reviews:
Firehottie: First of all, thanks for your review, I'm always happy about new reviewers. Well here was the seventh chapter, I hope you like it. Keep on reading please!
Jessica Black 5: Well, the sixth chapter was reposted and isn't so cramped anymore, I don't know what happened there. Thanks for reviewing again, I kinda missed your review in the fifth chapter, I hope your holidays were nice though, mine certainly were!
Queen Cari: I know that Luna is pretty OOC, but well I can't help it. In such a fic it's difficult to let her be herself. As to the sequel thing, I'll probably write one although I don't know when cause I have no idea what about (On the contrary to Love Conspiracy where the idea for the sequel was there before the idea for the story itself! It was a kind of Prologue now I'll be using as Epilogue and start for the sequel). I think this time I didn't take sooo long to update, so please don't AK me! *makes puppy dog eyes*
ProwlingKitKat: Thanks for your review, I'm glad you like the fic. I hope I updated fast enough for your liking. I already started the next chapter for Love Conspiracy, too. It should come out next week. Keep on reading both stories please!
Important final announcement (by Kevin): This will most probably be Winterbreath's last chapter before someday in January. She'll be going on holiday to south Spain (Málaga) on December the 25th and stay there till January 7th. Before she goes she still has to update her other story, do some more Christmas shopping and meet her friends (some of whom she hasn't seen for months cause they are studying in Germany) to see Lord of the Rings: The return of the King. So you do the maths about the chances to get another chapter done before she leaves!
Me: "Yeah, sorry about that! I hope you can forgive me!" *makes puppy dog eyes* "Before I forget, Merry Christmas from the whole Albus' Angels crew!"
Little note from Lucius Sikilmituile (who is responsible for posting this): Please don't kill me, pleasedon'tkillme, pleasedon'tkillme! *desperated* I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but everytime I went into my e-mail account there were so many updatenotices, I never realased Winterbreaths mail at all. I promise, next time I'll post it sooner. *on her knees infront of all readers* SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!
