Parvati Patil. The Parvati Ginny had always known. Now standing in front of her, eyes filled with rage, and a sharp knife Ginny had not noticed before, clutched tightly in her hand.
'Parvati?' Ginny choked. How could it be?
'Yes, me, Parvati Patil. The sweet and innocent one. Just remember Ginny. No one suspects the innocent one,' Parvati said evilly, walking closer to Ginny. Ginny backed away slowly until she bumped into the glass table behind her and could move no more. Luckily, Parvati had stopped a few feet in front of her.
'I was the one my master chose to spread news about the party. I was the one who told your Mudblood friend about it, knowing that she would tell you. Why, I even dared Harry to kiss Cho in the library when I saw you spying on them from between the shelves.' Ginny felt her blood boil, but Parvati was talking again so she dared not interupt.
'I watched, hidden in the trees as that fool Draco Malfoy saved you from the depths of the lake. If only he hadnt chased after you, my work would have been done there. You would have been lost, forever in the lake. My master would have been very pleased at that. But he had to act the hero. But I had already made plans to get you Ginny. My master was pleased at how easy things would be for him. The party was such an easy way to lure you into my trap. And you never suspected me. Not one bit. But then when the master decided not to take you, but to take Potter and Granger instead, I got confused. My masters main plan was to kill you Ginny, not them. He needs you dead. But the master let me in on a little secret. The master needs more followers. He has come up with a new plan. A plan so perfect, so brilliant, no one will know until it is too late...' Parvati said, in a voice most unlike her own. She twirled the knife around dangerously in her hand, making Ginny very nervous. At any moment Parvati could throw it, or lunge forward. But she did not.
'Oh, but do not worry. Potter and Granger will return from where the master has taken them. But they will not be as they were. Oh no, never as they were. They will be on our side, my masters side. But no one will know of their new creation. Not one. This new creation is superior. No one will be able to tell the difference between these ones and the real. They have no faults. They are perfect...' Parvati paused before continuing.
'Like me. I am one of them. Lord Voldemort granted me with this special power and told me I can do with it as I wish, but on one condition. I bring you to him.'
Ginny stared at her in disbelief. She could not believe her eyes, her ears. She could not believe that her friend, Parvati, was a servant of Lord Voldemort. It could be true. It just couldn't be.
'You doubt me? You wonder, why would I sell my soul to Lord Voldemort for superior power? Well why not Ginny? Surely even you would like a bit of power! Being able to do almost anything you want, have people listen to you, and obey your every command? How could you not want that?'
'No one will ever obey you! You are pathetic Parvati! Pathet-' Ginny stopped when Parvati slapped her hard across her face, sending her crashing to the ground.
'Pathetic? I am not pathetic! Look at you Weasel! You are on the ground before me! Right where you should be. Right in your place.You are the pathetic one!' Parvati sneered. Ginny stared at the ground touching her face where Parvati had just hit her. She could still not believe Parvati could do this to her. She used the table to help her stand up and then looked at Parvati, tears forming in her eyes.
'Why?' Ginny choked, her voice full of fear, anger and sadness. Suddenly Parvati's face changed. Her eyes full of fear, her face twisted in anger. Ginny tried to take a step back but the table was right behind her. Parvati slowly walked closer. One agonizingly slow step after the other, until she finally reached Ginny. She pushed Ginny onto the table and grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling her face just inches from hers, forcing Ginny to look straight into her cold, dark eyes.
'Why? Beacause of you Ginny. All because of you. It's all your fault. Little Ginny Weasley. So much younger, more immature, stupid little Ginny Weasley, and still he notices you! Still he notices you..' Parvati trailed off shaking her head. Ginny looked at her, confused. Who could she mean? Who was she talking about?
'Oh don't act all innocent with me! You know exactly who I'm talking about! How could you not? The way he looks at you, follows you, talks to you,' Parvati said. She paused for a moment and then let out a small laugh.
'You really don't know do you? You haven't even guessed! How could you not have guessed? I don't believe this! And I thought he was stupid for liking you! How could you not notice?...' Parvati trailed off, shaking her head again. Ginny still stared at her frowning. She really still had no idea of who she was talking about.
'Harry Potter, Ginny. Ever heard of him? Or are you that up yourself that you don't even notice when a guy has a crush on you? Everyone knows about it. Everyone except you! He listens to you, talks to you. He pays attention to you Ginny, attention! He takes one look at me and thinks I'm white trash! He doesn't even notice me! He thinks I'm just some other mindless gossipy bimbo!' Parvati screamed.
'But no. I'm a lot more than a bimbo, right Ginny?' Parvati teased. When Ginny didn't answer Parvati narrowed her eyes. Ginny, too scared that she might infuriate Parvati, quickly nodded her head.
'Now I'm one of Lord Voldemorts greatest followers! I have power now. Power that I can use. People will one day kneel before me, as they do my master! I will be great, powerful!' Parvati laughed. Ginny cringed. Parvati sounded nothing like herself. She sounded evil.
'Don't you get it? She is evil! She isnt your friend. This is another one of Voldemorts mindless followers only interested in power!' Ginny reminded herself silently, shaking in disgust. Parvati had started talking again.
'I went to Lord Voldemort for help in return for my enslavement. He gladly accepted. He said I would be of great use to him. Far much more use then half of his Death Eaters put together. And I was, I am. For I am the one who will bring you to him, as I too, lured Potter and Granger. Your weak pathetic brother gave his life for your pathetic excuse for a boyfriend. I'm sure that my master would have loved to torture your brother as he would indeed be doing now to Potter and Granger, but he just had to go and get himself killed for that little brat Draco Malfoy. Why bother? My master wants him dead anyway. And what my master wants, he always gets Ginny. Always gets...'
Ginny's whole body shook with anger, but she dare not say anything. Not with Parvati that close. Not with the knife so close. Suddenly Parvati let go of Ginny's hair and pushed her aside. Ginny landed on the soft carpeted floor soundlessly on her back. Parvati laughed evilly, as she watched Ginny stand up off the floor, glaring at her.
'Oh, you do not like that game? How about a game of Dodge This!' At these last words Parvati threw the knife like a spear towards Ginny. Ginny immediately twisted around and threw herself on the floor, just behind the table. The knife, just missing her by a hair, flew past her and landed on a cushion not too far behind her. Ginny looked at the knife and then at Parvati who did the same thing. Then suddenly both sprung up and leapt for the knife. Ginny was closer and at an advantage, but Parvati was much faster. Parvati suddenly tackled Ginny to the ground, where they landed with a thud. Ginny screamed and kicked but Parvati was too strong for her. Pinning Ginny down with one arm, she sed the other to grab the knife from the cushion just next to her.
'Now I need to get you to my master... Alive. But my master did not say how alive you must be. Hopefully he will be pleased by my work...' Ginny stared at Parvati. What was she talking about. What work?
'It seems as though you did not like that game either. How do you like this one?' Parvati sneered as she plunged the knife deep into Ginny's stomach. Ginny gasped in pain. It was a pain so bad, a pain she had never felt before. It was as though a thousand bees were stinging her all in the one place at once. She tried to scream, but all that came out was a piteous moan. Parvati smirked in satisfaction. Suddenly the door burst open. Parvati's face changed immediately. Draco Malfoy stood at the door, wide- eyed and shocked.
'Oh Draco!' Parvati cried standing up and throwing herself into his arms, fake tears pouring down the sides of her face.
'Oh Draco please help! I couldn't stop her! I tried, but she just wouldn't listen to me! She was yelling and screaming at me, saying that it should have been you that died, not Ron! Then she...' Parvati trailed off and let out a huge fake sob. Ginny, watching all this from where she lay on the ground, felt tears sting her eyes. She coughed and touched the knife protruding from her chest. Wincing in pain, she withdrew her hand immediately. Blood flowed from the wound in her stomach and fell into a pool all around her.
'Draco...' Ginny choked, her voice breaking. She put a hand to her throat. Draco pushed Parvati off him and collapsed down beside Ginny, tears stinging his eyes.
'Ginny why?' Draco choked. Ginny opened her mouth to speak, but no words would come out. She gripped Draco's hand tightly, her eyes wide and alert as though she was trying to tell him something with her eyes. She looked at the knife and then at Parvati then back at Draco. Parvati had began to walk to the door.
'Parvati!' Draco said just as Parvati put her hand on the door handle. Parvati froze, and did not turn around.
'Get Madam Pomfrey! And hurry! Ginny is dying!' Draco yelled.
'No, Draco your faster. Why don't you get her? I'll stay her with Ginny. I'll make sure she's alright.' Draco looked at her, his eyes filled with doubt. Behind him, Parvati saw Ginny's eyes fill with fear, her face twisted into a look of pure terror.
'Draco come on! Your playing with her life here! These are precious seconds your wasting!' Parvati cried, covering her face with her hands.
'No, I cant leave her Parvati! Please, just get Madam Pomfrey! Please!' Draco cried.
'Fine! I'll be back as soon as I can!' Parvati said, running out the door and slamming it behind her. Draco looked back down at Ginny.
'Ginny, why did you do this to yourself? Why?' Draco cried, tears spilling on to his cheeks. Ginny looked up at him. Pain struck her heart. If she didn't tell him now, she may die and he will never know. But she was in pain, so much pain..
'D-Draco... I-It was... P-Par-Parvati...' Ginny choked. Draco stared at her in horror. Her throat burned at every word she said. But she had to tell him. At all costs, she had to let him know. She could not let Parvati get away with this.
'S-She serves th-the D-Dark Lord. She s-set everything up... She said... s- she said th-that H-Harry and H-Hermione w-would some back... b-but as n-new creations...' Ginny trailed off, choking back tears that threatened to spill. The pain was so intense but she had to tell him. He had to know of the evil being Parvati had become.
'Draco... y-you must st-stop her, at all c-costs! Sh-she will tr-try and g- get you too. V-Voldemort w-wants y-you dead...'
The pain in her stomach was leaving her now. It became numb. Her vision blurred, and she could not make out the words Draco was yelling at her. It becamse hard to breathe. Small and short breaths were all that she could take at any one time. The flow of blood became less and the pool of it around her ceased to spread. She looked up, through blurred eyes at Draco. She raised her hand and lightly touched his cheek.
'I love you...' Ginny whispered, before her head fell to one side and her eyes fluttered closed. The faint rise and fall of her chest was no more. Draco stared at her lifeless body in horror. She couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be. He put his head to her chest, but felt no pulse, no heartbeat.
'Ginny?' Draco said softly. There was no reply.
'Ginny please, wake up! Wake up! You've got to wake up, you've just got to!' Draco said, tears pouring down the side of his face. He shook Ginny's body, but she still did not respond.
'Give it up Draco, she's dead,' Came the little voice in the back of his head.
'No, she's not dead! She can't be dead!' Draco yelled outloud. His head was spinning. He could not think straight.
Frantically he scooped her up in his arms and stood up. He then ran to the fireplace and grabbed a fistful of floo powder in a pot on the mantle piece. He stepped into the fireplace, threw the powder at his feet and yelled 'St Mungo's'. He began spinning round and round very fast, and his elbows kept knocking into the walls. He tucked them in and held Ginny closer to him. She was going to be okay, he just knew it. She had to be okay. How could she be dead? She couldn't be dead! Not after everything they'd been through.
Then suddenly it stopped. He stumbled out of the fire place at St Mungo's reception area. Suprisingly enough, doctors were already there waiting for them, wearing robes of gleaming white. A stretcher had been levitated between them. They rushed over to Draco and took Ginny from his arms and layed her down on the stretcher. Then, all but one, a witch, raced through two big double doors to Draco's left. The woman that remained took Draco by the arm and led him into another room.
The woman spoke to Draco but he heard no word of it. He sat down in a comfy chair and stared into space, deep in thought, his eyes filled with tears as he thought about Ginny.
Ginny could not be dead. Not after Harry and Hermione had giving themselves up for her. Not after all these sacrifices. No, she couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be! I'm not going to believe it, I don't believe it!' Draco's head ached with all the thoughts stacked into his head.
He looked up at the witch who had brought him to this room. He saw her face, kind and sympathetic. She looked worried. Her lips were moving, but he couldn't make out the words. She leant closer to him and shook his shoulders, but everything was just a blur to him. His vision clouded. He couldn't see, or hear. He could barely think. All he could think about was Ginny. Questions, unknown answers, everything about her filled his mind.
Why had Parvati done that? How could she do it? Why Ginny? Was she going to be ok? Was she dea...'
Slowly he slipped off the chair and the ground came rushing up to meet him. Then he knew no more.
~*~*~*~*~
The second Parvati had closed the door she smiled and leant against it. This was going to be easier than she thought.
'Now that little brat Draco Malfoy will watch her die in his arms, thinking she killed herself and she wont be able to tell him otherwise. Oh my master is going to be thrilled!' Parvati thought, smiling. She then walked slowly down the corridor. She had a lot of time. Draco would think she would be going to get Madam Pomfrey... but no. She wasn't going to get Madam Pomfrey. Her plans were a lot bigger than fetching the school nurse. She turned a corner amd walked straight into something, or rather someone. She stumbled backwards. Looking up, she saw that it was Professor Dumbledore. Her eyes widened and she took a few steps back, a look of horror on her face.
'Why Miss Patil! Fancy seeing you out here so early in the morning! What on earth are you doing roaming around the corridors at this early hour?''Professor Dumbledore asked, an amused expression on his face.
'Oh... D-Dumbledore... I-I was just... I was just... I-I gotta go!' Parvati stammered, and ran off in the opposite direction. Dumblefore stared at her retreating back. Something was not right with her.
'That was close! Dumbledore of all people to run into after killing one of his students! He could have been the one to ruin it all. He cannot find out about this. And if he does..... then I will be long gone. Oh well, no matter. Now I must get back to my master..... but how? Where did he say to go?' Parvati thought, running down another corridor.
'Master said it was down here somewhere..... but where?' Parvati thought, becoming frustrated at her lack of memory. She walked up and down the corridor around three times before she remembered.
'Aha that's it!' Parvati said outloud, finally remembering where she was meant to be. She walked over to one of the doors to her left and opened it. She stood at the doorway frowning. This room was not the one she had intended on being in. It was the purple room. It was exactly the same as the one she was in before... the one where she had killed...
'No, it couldn't be. Neither Ginny or Draco are in here..' Parvati froze.
Her eyes that were just a few seconds ago searching the room, were now fixed on a spot on the ground. A spot in the ground covered with blood. Fresh blood. Parvati let out a strangled cry. This was the room where she was just before! It was the one where she had killed Ginny. But Ginny was no where to be seen, and neither was Draco for that matter. But it was indeed that room.
She had to find them! If they had gotten away, if Ginny told him, then everyone would know what she had done.... her cover would be blown. No, she couldn't let that happened! She had to find them!
She began frantically searching the room. She threw her wand carelessly on one of the chairs surrounding the table in the middle of the room. She threw the cushions over her head, searching for Draco and Ginny. She ripped the curtains off the walls, and looked under the sofa. She ran over to the purple table and over turned it. It hit the ground and shattered.
The purple rose, however, hung in mid-air. Parvati stopped and looked up at it. It was just floating there. How? Parvati reached up to touch it. Her finger touched one of the thorns and immediately withdrew her hand when she felt a stinging pain. She looked at her finger. It was cut open but not bleeding. Purple liquid was flowing from the rose bud and being sucked into her finger. Parvati gasped in pain and stared at her finger in horror. A weird sensation went up and down her body as the liquid spread like poison. She let out a scream, but no one was there to hear it. She couldn't breathe. She coughed and choked. She landed on her knees, holding her throat, trying to breathe, but nothing would come out. She kicked out, waving her arms about frantically. She knocked her wand off the chair beside the table. She was dead before it hit the ground.

A/N - Now wasn't that an interesting chappie? Now its starting to get evil! Sorry for all of you that like Ron, or Parvati for that matter. Oh and for any of you that don't like Harry and Hermione, sorry that I didn't write anything more about them being tortured in this chappie! (Yes I know I'm horrible!) lol. I am so proud of miself!!! I updated again in a few days!!! Oh I am so good! Lol. Ok enough of the bragging. Cuz it's the holidays now, I'll probably be updating at least every week, seeming as though I'm not going away. Well I'm going away for like five days to Philip Island (Australia) for New Year, but I'll write on paper and submit when I can! Cant expect much better than that can you?
Well I wont write an individual message to each of my reviewers anymore because it takes ages, and I'm sure you'd like more to read the stoy than to read messages to people you don't know right? Plus, wasn't there something saying somewhere that your not allowed to do that anymore? Well I'll just say thanks to you all!
Oh just to one of my reviewers. One of yaz said something about it supposed to be six feet under, not ten. I am fuly aware of that fact, and I have two reasons for changing it. One, it's the wizard world, so most sayings and quotes are slightly different, and two, I was trying to emphasize the point of how pissed she was. Lol, oh well. I guess I'm just weird! Lol. Well thanks for reading, and reviewing anyway!

The pain in her stomach was leaving her now. It became numb. Her vision blurred, and she could not make out the words Draco was yelling at her. It becamse hard to breathe. Small and short breaths were all that she could take at any one time. The flow of blood became less and the pool of it around her ceased to spread. She looked up, through blurred eyes at Draco. She raised her hand and lightly touched his cheek.
'I love you...' Ginny whispered, before her head fell to one side and her eyes fluttered closed. The faint rise and fall of her chest was no more. Draco stared at her lifeless body in horror. She couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be. He put his head to her chest, but felt no pulse, no heartbeat.
'Ginny?' Draco said softly. There was no reply.
'Ginny please, wake up! Wake up! You've got to wake up, you've just got to!' Draco said, tears pouring down the side of his face. He shook Ginny's body, but she still did not respond.
'Give it up Draco, she's dead,' Came the little voice in the back of his head.
'No, she's not dead! She can't be dead!' Draco yelled outloud. His head was spinning. He could not think straight.
Frantically he scooped her up in his arms and stood up. He then ran to the fireplace and grabbed a fistful of floo powder in a pot on the mantle piece. He stepped into the fireplace, threw the powder at his feet and yelled 'St Mungo's'. He began spinning round and round very fast, and his elbows kept knocking into the walls. He tucked them in and held Ginny closer to him. She was going to be okay, he just knew it. She had to be okay. How could she be dead? She couldn't be dead! Not after everything they'd been through.
Then suddenly it stopped. He stumbled out of the fire place at St Mungo's reception area. Suprisingly enough, doctors were already there waiting for them, wearing robes of gleaming white. A stretcher had been levitated between them. They rushed over to Draco and took Ginny from his arms and layed her down on the stretcher. Then, all but one, a witch, raced through two big double doors to Draco's left. The woman that remained took Draco by the arm and led him into another room.
The woman spoke to Draco but he heard no word of it. He sat down in a comfy chair and stared into space, deep in thought, his eyes filled with tears as he thought about Ginny.
Ginny could not be dead. Not after Harry and Hermione had giving themselves up for her. Not after all these sacrifices. No, she couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be! I'm not going to believe it, I don't believe it!' Draco's head ached with all the thoughts stacked into his head.
He looked up at the witch who had brought him to this room. He saw her face, kind and sympathetic. She looked worried. Her lips were moving, but he couldn't make out the words. She leant closer to him and shook his shoulders, but everything was just a blur to him. His vision clouded. He couldn't see, or hear. He could barely think. All he could think about was Ginny. Questions, unknown answers, everything about her filled his mind.
Why had Parvati done that? How could she do it? Why Ginny? Was she going to be ok? Was she dea...'
Slowly he slipped off the chair and the ground came rushing up to meet him. Then he knew no more.

The second Parvati had closed the door she smiled and leant against it. This was going to be easier than she thought.
'Now that little brat Draco Malfoy will watch her die in his arms, thinking she killed herself and she wont be able to tell him otherwise. Oh my master is going to be thrilled!' Parvati thought, smiling. She then walked slowly down the corridor. She had a lot of time. Draco would think she would be going to get Madam Pomfrey... but no. She wasn't going to get Madam Pomfrey. Her plans were a lot bigger than fetching the school nurse. She turned a corner amd walked straight into something, or rather someone. She stumbled backwards. Looking up, she saw that it was Professor Dumbledore. Her eyes widened and she took a few steps back, a look of horror on her face.
'Why Miss Patil! Fancy seeing you out here so early in the morning! What on earth are you doing roaming around the corridors at this early hour?''Professor Dumbledore asked, an amused expression on his face.
'Oh... D-Dumbledore... I-I was just... I was just... I-I gotta go!' Parvati stammered, and ran off in the opposite direction. Dumblefore stared at her retreating back. Something was not right with her.
'That was close! Dumbledore of all people to run into after killing one of his students! He could have been the one to ruin it all. He cannot find out about this. And if he does..... then I will be long gone. Oh well, no matter. Now I must get back to my master..... but how? Where did he say to go?' Parvati thought, running down another corridor.
'Master said it was down here somewhere..... but where?' Parvati thought, becoming frustrated at her lack of memory. She walked up and down the corridor around three times before she remembered.
'Aha that's it!' Parvati said outloud, finally remembering where she was meant to be. She walked over to one of the doors to her left and opened it. She stood at the doorway frowning. This room was not the one she had intended on being in. It was the purple room. It was exactly the same as the one she was in before... the one where she had killed...
'No, it couldn't be. Neither Ginny or Draco are in here..' Parvati froze.
Her eyes that were just a few seconds ago searching the room, were now fixed on a spot on the ground. A spot in the ground covered with blood. Fresh blood. Parvati let out a strangled cry. This was the room where she was just before! It was the one where she had killed Ginny. But Ginny was no where to be seen, and neither was Draco for that matter. But it was indeed that room.
She had to find them! If they had gotten away, if Ginny told him, then everyone would know what she had done.... her cover would be blown. No, she couldn't let that happened! She had to find them!
She began frantically searching the room. She threw her wand carelessly on one of the chairs surrounding the table in the middle of the room. She threw the cushions over her head, searching for Draco and Ginny. She ripped the curtains off the walls, and looked under the sofa. She ran over to the purple table and over turned it. It hit the ground and shattered.
The purple rose, however, hung in mid-air. Parvati stopped and looked up at it. It was just floating there. How? Parvati reached up to touch it. Her finger touched one of the thorns and immediately withdrew her hand when she felt a stinging pain. She looked at her finger. It was cut open but not bleeding. Purple liquid was flowing from the rose bud and being sucked into her finger. Parvati gasped in pain and stared at her finger in horror. A weird sensation went up and down her body as the liquid spread like poison. She let out a scream, but no one was there to hear it. She couldn't breathe. She coughed and choked. She landed on her knees, holding her throat, trying to breathe, but nothing would come out. She kicked out, waving her arms about frantically. She knocked her wand off the chair beside the table. She was dead before it hit the ground.

A/N - Now wasn't that an interesting chappie? Now its starting to get evil! Sorry for all of you that like Ron, or Parvati for that matter. Oh and for any of you that don't like Harry and Hermione, sorry that I didn't write anything more about them being tortured in this chappie! (Yes I know I'm horrible!) lol. I am so proud of miself!!! I updated again in a few days!!! Oh I am so good! Lol. Ok enough of the bragging. Cuz it's the holidays now, I'll probably be updating at least every week, seeming as though I'm not going away. Well I'm going away for like five days to Philip Island (Australia) for New Year, but I'll write on paper and submit when I can! Cant expect much better than that can you?
Well I wont write an individual message to each of my reviewers anymore because it takes ages, and I'm sure you'd like more to read the stoy than to read messages to people you don't know right? Plus, wasn't there something saying somewhere that your not allowed to do that anymore? Well I'll just say thanks to you all!
Oh just to one of my reviewers. One of yaz said something about it supposed to be six feet under, not ten. I am fuly aware of that fact, and I have two reasons for changing it. One, it's the wizard world, so most sayings and quotes are slightly different, and two, I was trying to emphasize the point of how pissed she was. Lol, oh well. I guess I'm just weird! Lol. Well thanks for reading, and reviewing anyway!
