Hey ppls! Ready to find out what happened to Ginny?
Virginia stumbled out of the Burrow's fireplace, coughing. She was only wearing her underwear, her school skirt and her shoes and socks. Little wonder that as Molly Weasley turned from the kitchen sink, she dropped the plate she was holding. Virginia dropped to her knees and gasped for a moment, then rose to her feet using Lucius's cane. "Mum?"
"Ginny, what happened?" Molly rushed over to her daughter and hugged her fiercely.
"Lucius Malfoy kidnapped me, Mum. I have to get back to school before I'm missed, and I need to talk to Dumbledore." Molly was gaping at the shocking information. "Mum, there's no time. I'll just run upstairs and put some clothes on, then I'll explain on the way." Virginia turned to go, then frowned. "Here, hold this." She gave the cane to her mother and ran up the stairs to her room. She dug hurriedly through her wardrobe and shrugged on a shirt and some robes. At least they're black, she thought critically. "Mum, let's go!" She said loudly as she clattered back down the stairs.
"Virginia Weasley, we're not going anywhere until you explain what is going on!" Molly said in mother tones. Everyone knows this one, hard to describe, but it's that 'frustrated, confused but I'm putting my foot down' one. Virginia sighed.
"There's just no time Mum! We need to get me back to school, and I desperately need to talk to professor Dumbledore. It's about Voldemort!" Molly gasped and let the cane fall to the floor. "Better not damage it Mum, that's Lucius Malfoy's cane. I'm pretty sure he keeps his wand in it." Virginia said as she picked it up. "Does Dad still have that new car?"
"Yes, why?"
"It's fast!"
"We'll Floo dear. Professor Dumbledore lets parents Floo to his office when they need to. Get some Floo powder, then say Professor Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts." Molly nudged her daughter to the fireplace. "Go on, dear. You first."
Virginia took a handful of powder and said "Professor Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts!" And disappeared. Molly followed her quickly and appeared in Dumbledore's office.
"Mrs Weasley, what a pleasant surprise." Dumbledore said. "As soon as Virginia gets over her coughing fit, we'll find out what's going on." Virginia sat wheezing in an armchair and gave her mother a weak wave. She was still clutching Lucius's cane.
"Ok, I'm good now. Draco and I had gone to his common room, more or less because we freaked out the school again, but I won't go into that." She said hurriedly as she saw her mother's face. "Mum, me and Draco are going out. This has nothing to do with him, ok? Well, anyway, I was in his room and Lucius Malfoy appeared out of nowhere. He put the Imperious on me, and made me Floo to Malfoy Manor. Apparently, Voldemort is very eager to meet me. I Flooed first and then Draco. He told me to knock him out so I could get away, I did, and then Lucius appeared. We exchanged a few words then I put the Cruciatus on him." Virginia stopped at her mother's gasp. "I had to Mum! There was no element of choice involved in any of this. Or would you rather that I was still at Malfoy Manor? Then I put Lucius to sleep, stole his cane and some Floo powder and Flooed home. Then we came here." She finished with a sigh. "Do you have something I can wash my mouth out with, Professor? Lucius kissed me, and my mouth is foul."
Molly burst into tears. "Oh Ginny, my poor little girl."
"Mum, he kissed and groped me. I can live with it, but I don't think he brushes his teeth." Virginia made a disgusted face. "I got away, didn't I? Oh my god, where's Draco?" Virginia said in a frightened voice. "Let me go down to the Slytherin common room, please, professor. What if Draco didn't come back?" She bit her thumb hard. "Mum, calm down. I'm fine, but I think Voldemort will be pissed. I just hope he takes it out on the father not the son." She said worriedly as her fingers curled around the cane. "I took his cane. I know that the Ministry will want to put it down to teenage hysteria, but how did I get Lucius's cane, if I wasn't near him. You better have it, professor." Virginia rose to her feet and deposited the cane on Dumbledore's desk. She brushed her hands together. "Ew, ickyness."
"Albus! I had this note on my desk, then I found Virginia Weasley's robes in the Slytherin dorms, and Draco is missing." A masculine voice yelled as feet pounded up the stairs. "Albus!" Snape burst into Dumbledore's office, panting. His face went white in relief as he saw Virginia. "Thank god." He dropped into the armchair that Virginia had recently vacated and put his face in his hands. The paper that he was holding fluttered to the ground, and Virginia picked it up. She scanned it and snorted in disbelief.
"Like I'd be that stupid to go into the Forbidden Forest, Harry's told me about some of the things in there. Giant spiders I can do very well without." She handed it to Dumbledore. He read it then looked up.
"I think now the Ministry must act."
"No, let Voldemort think that he got away with it." Virginia said slowly. "Draco will get hurt, and I want him in one piece. We aren't anywhere near ready, I'm betting." She said as she looked at Dumbledore and he nodded to confirm her guess. "Mum, you should go home." She said as she held her mother's hands. "I'm fine, and you'll want to tell Dad what happened. But make sure he doesn't do anything. Close off the Floo once he gets home. Malfoy may try to get you." She kissed her mother on the cheek and led her to the fireplace. "Go, Mum." Molly nodded and Flooed back to the Burrow.
"I must admit surprise at your resilience and maturity, Miss Weasley." Dumbledore said.
"Less Mum knows the better." Virginia said shortly. "Can I go back to the Gryffindor common room now?" Dumbledore nodded. Virginia went to the door leading out of Dumbledore's office, then paused. "Professor Snape, lie however you have to. But I suppose you're used to it." Snape looked up at her. "I'm betting Lucius Malfoy is in a lot of pain right now for letting me escape." Snape smiled slowly. "He deserves it. As Ron would say, he's a slimy git. I so desperately need to wash my mouth out and have a shower. Prof. Dumbledore will fill you in on what happened to me." She walked slowly out of the room.
Snape continued to look after her once she disappeared. "She'd make a good Auror, I think, Albus."
"I would agree with you there, Severus." Dumbledore said as he nodded slowly.
"So what happened?" Snape leaned forward and listened intently as Dumbledore told him. "Interesting. Wait a minute, is that Lucius's cane?" Snape's eyes lit up as Dumbledore smiled. "She'd make an excellent Auror, Albus."
Go Ginny, go Ginny, go, go, go, go Ginny! Hoorah! Virginia wins again. Personally, I think Lucius must be at lest as hot as his son, only older. But I can see Ginny's point of view too. But Lucius. . .*drool* Malfoy hotness all around for me!
