"And though you turn from me, to glance behind," she could hear the voice say softly before turning to face her. "The Phantom of the school is there, inside your mind."
Ginny gasped and drew back. She could only see one thing in the room in front of her, and that one thing was a white mask that seemed to almost glow from the darkness. She almost pulled away, but was too enchanted by the voice.
"Those who may see your face would draw back in fear," she said calmly. "Behind the mask you wear…"
"It's me they hear." He turned impatiently from the girl and continued to drag her down the corridor. She stumbled across some stones that rested on the ground in front of her and fell into the Phantom's back. He turned to her and grasped her hand and began to lead her farther and farther into the underground of the school, or what she thought was still the school.
"My spirit and your voice in one combined…" She whispered to him, if it hadn't been so dark she could've sworn she saw a smile. "The Phantom of the school is here, inside my mind."
"I have brought you to this world of unending night, to this world where the daylight dissolves into darkness…" He said as they turned a corner. Ginny gasped as she looked around the room which slowly came into view as many candles lit. There was a centimeter of water on the floor that had become multi-colored from the running paint off of pictures that had fallen from the walls which all had burn marks littering them.
In the center of the room were the pieces of a broken statue that resembled Salazar Slytherin. Ginny gasped as she stared upon the emerald eyes which stared on for miles. She walked across the room and ran her hand across the soft marble.
"I'm glad you like it," said the Phantom. Ginny turned around to face him. "This is the place you'll call home."
Ginny grasped her neck and took steps away. "No, no I couldn't."
The Phantom turned around to face her and brushed a hand across the face. "Ginny, you must. You must love me."
Ginny stared into the man's eyes and gave another small gasp. "I give you my heart, as you gave me your teaching."
The Phantom smiled. "The Phantom is here, inside your mind."
Read, review, don't flame. Sorry it's so short, but get used to it, crossovers are hard to make long.
