Aivirgin…..
Why do you doubt me?
"Because I do not trust you, Virginia. You almost destroyed the world with your boyfriend", Aivirgin answered.
Aivirgin was restless. The locket was calling out to her and she was getting extremely annoyed. She was in the middle of her charms homework when Virginia's voice decided to pop into her mind and bug her. She got so pissed off that she broke two of her quills, trying to ignore the voice in her head that was driving her to the edge of insanity and back.
Where did you hear that from?
Aivirgin got another quill out and dipped it in the ink before starting on her work again. She didn't notice that the locket was glowing and floating just above her head. At the moment, Aivirgin could care less about the mystery of the bloody locket. Homework came first to her and later on, she still had to do her prefect duties of patrolling the Slytherin dungeons which was going to be a drag and now, a bloody spirit wouldn't leave her alone.
"Look, I do not have time for you right now. I have to be done with homework and I've still got prefect duties later on. So, if you don't mind, I really have to get this over and done with before 8", Aivirgin said.
I will help you with your homework…….
If you would listen to what I have got to say.
That got Aivirgin's attention. She turned around to get the locket but the locket was already hovering itself down on her bosom while the clasp, clasped itself. It was glowing as Virginia's voice spoke.
"Alright, you've got my attention", Aivirgin said.
First of all, I do not appreciate the sarcasm.
However, I'm willing to put it aside if you act a bit nicer to me.
You never know….
I might have something that you have wanted all your life….
"I don't see why you are making any complaints since you are in no position to even say anything because you need my help. Besides, I can't help it, it's the Slytherin trait", Aivirgin snapped.
Ah…..
The wonderful sarcasm and icy Slytherin trait.
I can see that it never changes amongst its heirs.
"Can we get it on and over with already? Not that I don't know anything about you and besides, I doubt that you can offer me anything. I've got all that could be offered to me, what else could I want?" Aivirgin said.
Patience is a virtue…. Aivirgin.
Maybe one day.....
You'll understand it….
However, I think I have exactly everything that you could ever want…
"And that would be?" Aivirgin asked.
An adventure of a lifetime.
And…. The love of your lifetime.
Something that you will never forget for as long as you can live.
You made a wish for it and I heard it.
So here I am, Aivee…..
If you help me…..
I will help you….
Aivirgin was shocked. She didn't trust the locket but somehow, she was tempted with all the offers that were just offered to her. All that she ever wanted was not in material things but more in heart and mind. Aivirgin felt like her mind had been invaded by the spirit and yet, she was glad that someone actually understood what she wanted out of life.
So, what do you say?
Co-operation……?
"Alright, Virginia. I will help you but I want to know something out of you. How exactly did your soul get sucked into a bloody locket? I mean, Professor Snape told me some but he was quite brief about it. I want to hear it from you. What happened?"
Ah….
Now you're interested in what happened to me.
I'll take you to my past, Aivee….
And from there, you can help me with what I want done.
Close your eyes and trust me, Aivee….
I will help you gain what you want……
The moment Aivirgin closed her eyes, she felt the locket sooth her soul and brought her into some sort of a trance state. She was brought back to Ginny Weasley's life where she first met Harry Potter at the train station. Back then, it was Ginny, her name was never Virginia. No one called her Virginia. Everyone insisted on calling her a fonder name and a more informal name. Back then, Ginny was only 10. Continuing on, Aivirgin saw the events that happened in Ginny's first year when she first encountered the Malfoys and when she was corrupted by Tom Riddle or better known as Lord Voldemort. The events that happened inside the Chambers of Secrets were never known but Aivirgin was watching it through her eyes. She witnessed as Ginny was being seduced by the younger form of Voldemort who was Tom Riddle. As she watched, it started becoming clear what was going on in Ginny's life. Then, Harry Potter came to save the day. That was when everything crumbled down. She watched as Ginny's life began tumbling. She had lost her friend and she had lost everything else at one go.
At that time, life seemed so horrible for Ginny but then she started working her way around the trio who destroyed her life. The Dream Team as they were called consists of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and of course, Ginny's brother, Ron Weasley. The way Aivirgin saw Ginny's life back then, she was overcastted and overshadowed by the people who she cared most. That was when Ginny began slaving herself in homework and began to have a change in attitude and behaviour. She began to use the mind that Voldemort left her to continue living her life as some sort of a seductress. It turned out that Ginny was actually extremely gifted and rather brilliant in her studies but no one really took notice. It was always about the Dream Team and what they wanted. As time passed by, the number of guys that Ginny charmed also added up. Until one night, she met her own challenge. She was challenged by the hottest guy in Hogwarts no matter how evil he was. She was challenged by none other than the one and only, Draco Malfoy.
Aivirgin felt herself smirk at she saw the things that both Draco and Virginia did to outwit each other. She felt that they both deserved each other in some twisted and demented way. She continues watching as the events became tenser when the Dream Team found out about Ginny's relationship with Draco. Her brother threw the biggest fit and slapped her. That completely threw Ginny off. Aivirgin felt as if she was the one who slapped Ron as she saw the impact that Ginny did to his nose. That was also when Ginny found out more about Draco and Voldemort's plan to use her and Draco as puppets to his conquest of bringing down Harry Potter and taking over the world. Not only that, it was also the night that they had sex.
As Ginny's past became clearer to Aivirgin, she felt the emotions that Ginny felt at that time. She felt every single pain, fear and anxiety that Ginny felt. Every emotion that Ginny felt, Aivirgin felt it twice as much. She saw how much Ginny loved Draco and she saw how Draco changed along the way. He was always evil right from the core but he had a soft spot for the Gryffindor. Aivirgin could see in his eyes that he really loved Virginia just by the way he talks to her and holds her, it was as if he was protecting her from everything that he could.
Just when that was coming along perfectly fine, the darkness within their bodies corrupted their minds and brought them to Voldemort. Voldemort assigned them to tasks that they must do. They followed and lured the Dream Team straight into a trap where they would be absolutely vulnerable to be attacked. Their plans went perfectly fine as they plot together to take down not only the Dream Team but also, the Dark Lord. Aivirgin was absolutely impressed with the will power of the couple. It took a lot of guts to try and destroy the Dark Lord.
Then, she came to the very last moments of Virginia's life came to picture. Aivee watched as Virginia lured the Dream Team into the Malfoy Mansion and how she and Draco revealed themselves to the Dream Team. Aivee continued watching as Draco took Harry's body and crippled it. She also watched as Virginia made her brother insane with the taunts of blaming him for the depression of her life. Aivee felt the hatred within Virginia when she reached his mind and played with his mind. Aivee felt the darkness within Virginia's life to destroy her brother but not kill him.
Last but not least, Hermione Granger was up to be played with. Hermione challenged Ginny to a duel which Virginia took up. Virginia crushed Hermione within a few minutes. Granger was down as she had her life flashing before her eyes. Virginia took Voldemort down easily as well using the Dementor's kiss. By the end of it, Aivirgin opened her eyes and she felt the locket bringing her warmth and comfort from watching the events. She felt as if it was making her feel more relaxed.
Is there anything else that you would like to know?
"No Virginia. That was enough", Aivirgin said.
I have shown you my life, Aivee….
Do you trust me now?
Aivirgin closed her eyes and sighed. She felt absolutely pressured. It wasn't the normal thing that she usually felt.
"Alright Virginia, I'll help you as long as you do not invade my mind without permission", Aivee said.
Then, Aivirgin, I would like you to call me Ginny.
Virginia is quite formal….
Don't you think?
"Sure, why not? Now, what exactly do you need my help on?" Aivee asked.
I'll explain to you some other time.
Right now it's homework time for me…
And of course… PREFECT DUTY time for you!
Before Aivirgin could say anything else, the glow on the locket disappeared and a little orb came out of the Raven's eyes and floated above the parchment which Aivee was writing on before. As if it was a miracle, Aivirgin watched as the quill lifted itself and began writing gracefully on the parchment. Her mouth was left opened, she couldn't believe her eyes. Someone was doing her homework for her!
"SCORE!" Aivirgin shouted in triumph.
~*~
Patrolling the cold Slytherin dungeon corridors weren't as bad as it seems. Wearing her green turtleneck and black pants along with her school robes, she walked around looking for students who are out of their curfew times. Sure, it was Filch's job as well but the prefects were all asked to patrol different places of the palace on certain nights. For Aivee, she was to patrol only on Tuesday and Friday nights which was a breezy shift. Being a prefect was rather interesting for Aivee, it gave her a sense of responsibility.
Aivirgin came from a very wealthy family. Heck, all Slytherin families are rich people but Aivirgin came from one of the highest aristocratic ranking families in the wizarding world. Her parents were well known aurors who are now retired used to work for the ministry of magic's internal wizardry attorney who fought in court for witches and wizards everywhere in the world. Her parents had all the best for her because she was an only child. They protect her with all they could and they let her have everything she ever wanted. However, she was quite different from the Slytherins. She was more reserved and way snappier when it comes to arguments. Inherited from her parents, she was a master at arguing.
She had always wanted adventure and everything life could offer. She had always felt lonely because she was the cold person she was and because no one would approach her due to her icy cold behaviour. Being a Slytherin and being a child from an aristocratic family, it was hard not to develop the icy cold attitude. Now, she felt like she was finally being offered a chance to live. Virginia Weasley was going to help her gain a life and an adventure and hopefully, her own true love.
Just when she was being all dreamy, she banged into a hard wall. She fell to the ground, rubbing her temple.
"Bloody hell! What the hell is a wall doing in the middle of nowhere?!" Aivirgin yelled.
"Maybe it's not the wall in the middle of nowhere, maybe it is someone not watching where they are going", a deep voice replied.
Aivirgin opened her eyes and looked up just to face a pair of silvery grey eyes which were looking at her.
Oh shit…..
This is not happening to me….
Why him………….???!!!
