Raven and Rook sat silently in the common room shared by Blaise and Draco. Rook licked away the continuous run of blood from her lip. Blaise, upset at not only Rook, but also how he had to restrain her, looked at her disturbed.

"Can you please go and clean that up?" he asked Rook as she licked another drop of blood from her lip.

She glared at him. "No… it's ok." She said.

Draco paced back and forward, recurrently sending detestable glares at Raven. She glared back; her hair strayed everywhere but downward.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Draco finally asked.

"At what point in time?" Raven said coolly. Draco stopped pacing.

"Don't fucking play with me bird! Why would you sit there and lie?"

"Same reason you would…" said Raven.

"So one minute you're practically river dancing to pee and, the next you're fine? Bullshit!!!! Raven! Bullshit!!!"

"Liar…." Raven said under her breath.

"What? Why would you call me a liar? What reason do I have to lie to you?"

"You tell me… you're the Slytherin" Raven said with a certain strain in her voice.

"And you're the Gryffindor. Aren't you supposed to be loyal?" asked Draco. Raven stood up in anger.

"Loyal to the likes of you? Fuck off!" she shouted.

Draco hit Raven across the face hard and Rook stood. Blaise stared at her, daring her to move. He instead, took her arm and dragged her to the bathroom.

"C'mon let's clean you up." Blaise began to pull her up the stairs. Rook looked back at her sister wanting to desperately help her.

Raven's eyes glinted sharply as her hand slashed across his face. Four long red marks were left in her nails wake, on his cheek.

Rook could feel her sister's anger rising, and feared for her. They were without any magic, and no way of protecting themselves.

Blaise turned Rook to face him. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I just wish that you didn't lie to me!" he said, wiping the blood away.

"Well, it's not like you paid me any attention anyway…" Rook said. Blaise look up at her. Gently, he kissed her licking the remaining blood from her lip, so that it no longer existed.

"I'm sorry… just don't lie to me or disobey me again. Understood?" he asked her pulling her attention. Rook nodded.

Face to face and body to body, Draco held Raven to the wall.

"You filthy little bitch!" he hissed, "and to think… I DARED comforted you!"

"I can't believe it either… and don't call me a bitch… because I'm not on all fours with my tongue hangin' out of my mouth!!!!! That's your little girlfriend Pansy!!! And why in Merlin's name would you want to comfort me anyway?" asked Raven.

"Ok, for one Pansy is not my girlfriend---."

"So… you just sleep with the bitch? Draco… that's just as bad!" exclaimed Raven cutting him off.

"Let me finish… Pansy was never my girlfriend, just a one-night stand rather… and I cared because…" he trailed off, "because I wanted to…ok… I should've thrown you away like I do the others…"

"And then what Draco? Then what were you going to do with me?" she asked looking into his eyes.

Softly, his gray eyes pierced her golden brown ones and he kissed her.

"Still can't stand you…" Raven said.

"Feelings mutual…" he responded kissing her again.

Ginny's Trial...

Ginny's trial was held early the next morning, with Voldemort as the judge and a jury made up of Slytherin students. Ginny was brought in tied up from her wrists to her ankles. She was pushed and shoved all the way to the chair in the middle of the room, all the while holding her head up high. When she finally sat down, Voldemort spoke.

"Ginny Weasley, youngest and only girl of the Weasley family… what do you have to say for yourself?"

Ginny shifted in her seat to loosen her binds… "It was intentional. He tried to rape me and I wouldn't allow it!" she said.

"Did you not understand that all virgins must not be that by morning?" Voldemort asked.

"Yeah, I understood… but I wasn't about to loose it to him!" Ginny said her calm demeanor sent a chill around the room of jury!

"You would have lost it anyway…" Voldemort told her… she simply shrugged her shoulders. Outside the doors of the room, Ron, Hermione, Rook, Harry and Raven listened.

"Ginny I wish you weren't so smart mouthed!" Said Ron in a low whisper.

"Oh Ron get off of it! It's the Gryffindor in her…" Hermione said proudly.

Raven and Rook looked at each other in silent laughter… Raven pushed up her nose behind Hermione's head… and Rook snickered.

"So Ginny, what do you think will happen to you?" asked Voldemort.

"You'll most likely kill me… but before you do that… you're probably going to get me raped or tortured or------."

"Silence!!!!" Voldemort screamed, his voice echoed throughout the room.

Everyone's heart began to race… in fear.

"I should kill you, but being Marcus Flint was the one who died…" He said. Suddenly someone burst through the door.

"Lord Voldemort! There has been another death!" exclaimed the Death Eater that entered.

"Who was it? Show it to me… court will resemble later."

The Death Eater rushed Voldemort to the scene of Marcus' body. A ditch was dug and his body was already inside, apparently not alone. Lavender Brown's body laid on top of his, dead. They could see Marcus' teeth, poking through her neck.

"What was the cause of death? How did she get there?" asked Voldemort.

"Jumped from the Astronomy Tower, my lord. She belonged to Gregory Goyle." Said the Death Eater. Voldemort, eyes a blood red, turned and walked away.

"Bury them both and assign Ginny to Goyle." He said as he was walking away.

"Yes… my lord…"
