Two: Glow

Ginny awoke abruptly when she felt someone shake her; hard. She looked at her surroundings and studied carefully. Where the heck am I?

"Ahh, Ginny, dear, finally you wake!" Madame Pomfrey exclaimed. At this, Ginny raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, you must be sleepy. Let me remind you. You came here yesterday afternoon accompanied with Mr. Potter and some fellow students," she continued, "but please, don't freight. Mr. Potter is in a stable condition but must stay in the hospital wing at least until Thursday."

Ginny swallowed the lump in her throat, "Thursday night? But--"

A groan from the bed beside her interrupted what she was about to say.

She turned to see Harry awake and okay. He saw her and sat up immediately.

"Harry, I'm so glad you're okay!" She hugged him tightly.

"Th--anks—Gin—ny," He said gasping for air.

When Ginny realized she was hugging him too tightly she let go and blushed.

Madame Pomfrey cleared her throat, "You need rest, Mr. Potter, and you must eat this. You'll need it for recovery." She handed him some soup.

Harry looked at it with disgust, and looked back up to Ginny.

"Ginny, I know I won't be getting out of this bloody bed until Thursday—"

"Oy, Harry! You have got to be kidding! You'll miss the match against Malfoy!" Ron nearly shouted while entering the hospital wing with Hermione.

"Nice to see you too, Ron," Harry patted Ron on the back once he got closer, "Hey Mione."

They all said their 'hellos' and Hermione gave Ginny a long lecture of how she should've come told her or Ron before falling asleep in the Hospital Wing while Ron and Harry were discussing what happened.

"Anyways, Ginny, as I was saying before Ron here interrupted," he gave a glare at Ron who, in return, smiled innocently, "I think you should take my place as seeker. I think you're—"
"Seeker? Against Slytherin? Absolutely NOT!" Ron roared, "Let alone play a game against a stuck up blonde git like Malfoy!"

Hermione put a hand on his shoulder, "you're overreacting, Ron, let her do what she wants. If Harry thinks she's ready, we should listen." She turned towards Ginny, "but have you ever had lessons? I mean, we are talking about playing against Malfoy here."

Ginny opened her mouth to speak, when Harry spoke for her, "yesterday when I got injured, I was teaching Ginny to play as a seeker. Never in my mind would I get hurt and not be able to play against Slytherin," he turned to Ron, "Ron, you have an amazing sister. She beat me at catching the snitch! And, to add to that, she got it in only moments."

Ginny and Harry watched their expressions. Hermione's eyes grew wider while Ron's mouth dropped. "My sister actually beat the Harry Potter?"

Harry frowned.

Ginny felt guilt towards Harry and felt the need to speak, "Well, by the looks of it, it must be breakfast. Shouldn't we go off to eat?"

Hermione, Ron, and Ginny said their goodbyes to Harry and walked out of the Hospital wing.

In the hallway, Ginny bumped prof. McGonagall, and quickly apologized. Rembering what Harry had told her she spun around scurrying after the teacher.

"Profesor McGonagall!" Ginny shrieked and sighed once the witch turned around.

"Yes, Miss Weasley?"

"Uh, um, as you probably already know, Harry got injured yesterday. That also means that he cannot play on Wednesday at the Quidditch game. Well, the thing is, see, yesterday before Harry got hurt, he was teaching me how to be seeker. And, well, I beat him to the snitch in record time, so he, uh, recommended I take his spot as seeker in the game." Ginny said.

Why did I just do that? She thought, Do I actually want to play as seeker? Against Malfoy? She shrugged. It was too late to take back what she just said.

"Why, Miss Weasley, thank you for offering. I am gone to talk to Mr. Potter myself at this instant, so I will find out what exactly he thinks."

Ginny nodded her head and turned around back to where Hermione and Ron where standing waiting for her.

They heard the entire conversation and asked no question, but remained silent until the three of them reached the Great Hall. Once they entered, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny silently sat at the Gryffindor table. Dumbledore announced it was breakfast time, waved his wand, and generous amounts of food appeared before the students. As Ron and Hermione began to flirt, Ginny simply pouted in detest.

"Excuse me," she said and got up from her spot heading towards the door.

"Ginny, where are you going?" Hermione looked worried. Ginny hadn't touched a parcel of food on her plate.

"Fresh air, that's all I need, before class," she retorted, her back to them.

Ginny simply walked a few strides before having to push the door open. The hallway was dead quiet; no one was there. She sighed and walked towards the hospital wing in hope of visiting Harry for the second time that morning. Whispers coming from a nearby classroom caused Ginny to stop and move closer to the sounds. She noticed the door was partially, so instead of staying out of someone else's converstion, she stuck her head in the door and listened attentively. Before her stood Lucius and Draco Malfoy.

"I don't get it dad, why are you here?" Draco hissed.

"Because, my son, I have a task for you.."

Draco rolled his eyes. "What is it this time?"

Lucius stifled a laugh. "When Tom Riddle attended Hogwarts in his fifth year, there was a first year slytherin student named Louis Landoir. Mr. Landoir was extremely brilliant for his age, but one day decided to cast one of the three unforgivable spells. Louis was expelled and nearly killed two students." Lucius gave a faint laugh and continued, "years later, Louis decided to make something to always remember him by; The Serpent's Necklace. This necklace was one of the most powerful parcels a wizard could get its hands on."

Draco raised an eyebrow, "what does this have anything to do with me?"

"Patience, my son. The necklace is Voldemort's key to defeat the famous Potter."

"How would a stupid necklace do that?"

"The necklace glows green when activated by a touch of any wand. Once put around someone's neck, the necklace gives control to the person who's wearing the necklace to harm or posses anyone or anything of their choice. Lord Voldemort thinks the necklace was last at Hogwarts—"

"Hogwarts?"

"Yes, Hogwarts, down in the chamber of secrets--"

"Why don't you just use a wand?"

"Because, son, the necklace is much more powerful than a stupid wand. There's no way to destroy it, or so the legend goes--"

"And where do I find it?" Draco interrupted, once again.

"Our Lord believes that the little Weasley girl had gotten it while being possessed by Tom Riddle. Your job is to befriend the little girl and get it from her."

"I don't want to be seen with her," Draco smoothed down his hair, "it'll ruin my reputation."

"I don't give a fuck about your reputation, Draco. If you're that worried, keep your friendship with the Weasley a secret. Do anything to get to her; Seduce her if you must."

Draco snorted in response.

"One more thing, Draco. Don't be stupid."

Ginny gasped and immediately ran off. She didn't have a clue where she was going, but she needed to get away.
