She had never felt complete until she met him. Even though he was only a memory left in a diary, he loved her as much as she loved him. The last time she saw him was down in the chamber. She watched as he became stronger and she felt her body weakening. She felt his lips pressed against hers, and then darkness fell.

After Tom, she put up a front. She made people believe she was still the same Ginny they knew and loved, but she was not. Her once innocent soul had been tainted by Tom's dark one, and she hungered for the darkness once more.

Years passed. She left Hogwarts and took a secretarial position in the Ministry of Magic. She spent hours on end searching the files for information on Tom's diary, but all she found were dead ends. That was until she came across a list from the days when the Dark Lord had been forced into hiding because of Harry Potter. The list had all the names of people the Ministry assumed were Death Eaters. One name on the list gave her hope.

Draco Malfoy was slightly shocked when Ginevra Weasley rushed in on a meeting with the Minister for Magic. She claimed she needed to talk to him very urgently. He told her to meet with him later that evening in the Leaky Cauldron. She agreed.

That evening, a new Death Eater was initiated; Ginevra Weasley. Ginevra was the strongest willed witch they had there. Draco found himself inviting her to dinner during the evenings, pretending it would be for 'business' but it always ended up as a pleasure trip.

Ginevra lay beside Draco after one of these nights, and watched him sleep. She pressed the mark on her forearm, and shivered. Tom may be dead, but the darkness she craved was right there with her now. Draco Malfoy had fulfilled the void.
