"Ginny?" a soft and matronly voice broke through Ginny's peaceful and dreamless sleep.

She groaned and rolled over, yet this movement brought her a small wave of pain and consequently, closer to consciousness.

"Ginny, the Headmaster and Professor Snape are here to see you. You need to wake up." This time Ginny recognized Madam Pomfrey's voice, and also realized that it was significantly less gentle than it had previously been, in attempt to wake her up and mounting annoyance.

Alarm coursed through Ginny's body as she returned to full-consciousness and sat up rather quickly. 'Oh no, I don't want to have to do this yet.' She groaned inwardly, dreading the moment Professor Dumbledore, or anyone for that matter, asked her what she had been through during her week held captive by Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

"Ooh, calm down, everything is ok, your safe here." Madam Pomfrey said slowly and calmly, mistaking Ginny's actions as that she still thought that she was with the Death Eaters.

Nevertheless, this still calmed Ginny down a bit and she relaxed herself back into a more comfortable position with her back against the pillows for support of her aching body.

"Oh, good, this is much better. Shall I inform the Headmaster that you are ready to see him, or would you like me to see if he would mind waiting couple of minutes?"

Ginny cleared her throat and replied, "You can tell him to come in now I think. That's fine." While she was really thinking was, 'Might as well get this over with shit now, no use in putting it off.' The momentarily absent feeling of being unclean hit her with full force once again when she thought of reliving what they would ask her about.

"Headmaster? Professor? You can come in now." Madam Pomfrey called through the sickeningly white curtains.

As they were entering Madam Pomfrey left to give the three of them the privacy that Professor Dumbledore had undoubtedly asked for before their arrival.

"Miss Weasley, we've come to discuss what happened whilst you were imprisoned by Voldemort." Dumbledore started.

'He sure has a way with getting straight to the point, doesn't he?' Ginny inwardly contemplated.

"I understand that this is a very sensitive and unwelcome subject, but this must be done for the sake of the order and the war." Dumbledore looked very saddened when he said this, as he hated to see how Voldemort and his death eaters could damage and destroy a person, both permanently and short-termed.

Dumbledore sat down in one of the hospital wing chairs, but only after he had conjured another chair for Snape, mimicking the build of the his own.

Before giving Dumbledore time to continue speechmaking, Ginny sighed and started in a monotone, knowing there was no way to avoid doing it, "Well sir, I was captured while Hermione, Harry, Ron, and I were at Diagon Alley, shopping for school supplies… I was standing with Hermione, next to the entrance to Knockturn Alley, when we saw Ron and Harry, and were trying to get their attention since we split up so they could go to the Quidditch shop. When she had her back to me to try to wave them down Lucius Malfoy grabbed me from behind and dragged me into Knockturn alley. Then he took me to…. Well, I'm not sure were he took me…" At the end of her explanation her voice turned slightly from a monotonous to questioning tone.

"You were found at the Riddle mansion, Voldemort's father's old place." Snape said, speaking for the first time since they had arrived.

Ginny, somewhat startled at his revelation, and the fact that he had spoken to her without his usual mocking tone, only replied with an "Oh". She wasn't sure, but thought that Snape actually might rejoice in the thought of her being tortured, or sitting so incapably in front of him.

"We had underestimated the risk-factor of allowing all of you to go out that day. I'm sincerely sorry Miss Weasley" Dumbledore apologized, making the two younger occupants of the room return to the subject at hand and voicing his regret.

"No one could have guessed that we were unsafe, Professor. Especially with us all keeping an eye out for each other." Ginny countered.

Dumbledore, once again with regret lacing his words, said, "It was inexcusable, I don't know how I could have allowed you four to go out.

"Whether or not it could have been avoided any other way, we have more important things to discuss at the moment." Snape interjected, his normal countenance returning somewhat.

"Indeed, you are correct Severus." Then, turning back to Ginny, Dumbledore continued, "I understand that you will probably not want to discuss exactly what happened to you in the clutches of Voldemort and his death eaters until a later date, and most likely with your parents, the next questing I must ask you is if they forced any you to give away any order information?"

"No sir." Was all Ginny said back, thinking of all the things that she endured after denying Voldemort any information.

"What? How could you have not given them any information? It would have only taken a day before they got bored and resorted to using Legilimency to find out what they needed, even if you didn't break with all the creative torturing methods they use. Don't lie to us." Snape spat, this time with his usual malice returning full blow.

"Severus," Dumbledore said in a warning tone.

But Ginny didn't care. She was now sitting up, with a cold, yet also unnaturally calm, masked face that could rival Snape's, that surprised both Snape and Dumbledore, two of the very hardest men to shock.

"I didn't give them any information, sir" Ginny said so coldly that she could have frozen hell over if given the chance, with her face not portraying any emotion. She then looked right into Snape's eyes, just begging him in her mind to try Legilimency to find out for sure.

Sure enough, after a moment he struck her full force with a powerful mind attack. While he was muttering the incantation, Ginny sat there watching him, one eyebrow raised with a challenging expression. He couldn't break through the barrier protecting her mind.

She had already been tested by the most powerful dark wizard in the world. She was not at all worried that Snape would be able to break through.

To have a bit of fun, whilst Snape consistently plowed into her wall, Ginny decided to test her skills a bit more.

The next thing Snape knew, he was sent an image of himself through the Legilimency connection between Ginny and himself… 'That's odd, I wonder w-' Snape was thinking until the image suddenly changed.

Now, the image depicted Snape, yet not in his normal state. He had on what most muggles would say was the "biker look". Tight leather jacket and pants; his long(ish) hair in a mohawk, with the ends died neon green; and next to a motorcycle, Severus Snape stood.

Snape broke the connection almost immediately, with his mouth hanging open slightly and his eyes much larger than usual. He knew you had to be practically flawless in Occlumency to be able to block his attack, but to do that and send images that weren't even memories, that was… amazing. He looked over to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was looking at Snape with a slight frown. "You shouldn't have done that Severus." He began, but stopped when he saw the look on Snape's face.

Severus then noticed that he was "catching flies" and closed his mouth with a resounding clack. Then he tried to explain.

"Sh-she… Her-" Snape stuttered, pointing towards Ginny. But the realizing what he was doing stopped an let his arm drop, leaving a defeated expression looming over his chiseled features.

"Ah." Dumbledore said. "Did someone teach you Miss Weasley?"

"No sir, I taught myself, after my second year…"

"As I expected." Dumbledore confirmed.

Snape was confused only a moment before realizing that it was in Ginny's second year that she was possessed by Voldemort. But then in even more disbelief that she could have taught herself so well.

After a few moments of almost uncomfortable silence, Dumbledore spoke once again.

"The last thing that I needed to ask you, before leaving you to your healing, is if you overheard any information that would be important to the order?"

At this, Ginny's breath caught him her throat and her eyes grew wide. She turned to face Snape.

"Th-they know that y-you're the traitor. H-he said that…that you would reach the same fate as me." She faltered, and at the last part shivered.

The reaction she witnessed was not a pleasant one.

Snape immediately yelled, "FUCK!" so loud that it made Ginny start, and started pacing back and forth in the miniscule hospital cubical with his fists clenched and muttering obscenities under his breath.

Dumbledore displayed a much more peaceful countenance, yet still looked upset and deeply in thought.

This went on for what Ginny thought was an eternity, before the sound of sharp tapping on the infirmary window brought them out of their reveres. Dumbledore got up to let in what undoubtedly was an owl carrying a letter. He came back a few seconds later reading said letter and sat down on the chair. When he finished reading he looked up to see two expectant faces peering at him.

"It seems that Voldemort was extremely unhappy to see you leave Miss Weasley, especially with the information you harbored." Dumbledore paused for a moment, and then continued, "Harry's connecting through his scar with the Dark Lord leaves him susceptible to feeling fluctuations in his mood, and he was quite infuriated at some point during last night." Another pause before he finished saying, "It appears that you two are at the top of Voldemort's hit list… Well, apart from Harry of course."

Both Snape and Ginny were quite unnerved by this revelation. They kept their gaze on Dumbledore, thirsting for information of what they were supposed to do with a vile dark wizard after your skin.

Dumbledore looked at them with a sort of pity in his eyes. "I'm sorry, but you will have to go into hiding… There is no way that I can have you stay at your respective homes, it will be much to dangerous, for both you and your families."

Snape looked somewhat indignant, but Ginny was noticeably upset.

"I have a place for you to stay, neither of you have ever heard of it, but it will be perfect for such a vital situation I believe, and you should be safe."

"We're staying together!" Ginny shrieked, in a high pitched and shrill voice, her eyes widening again.

Snape raised his eyebrows at her behavior although he would usually have a similar reaction. He had been preparing himself for having to stay with the youngest Weasley after he found out that the dark lord knew he was a traitor. He listened to Dumbledore continuing.

"Yes Miss Weasley, I'm sorry, but it's the safest place to stay, and I couldn't have you stay there alone anyways, and Professor Snape is in just as much danger as you are."

With her eyes still wide she nodded and waited for the headmaster to continue.

"I can't tell you now where you will be going now, but I will explain all about where you are going when we get there… You should be ready to go directly after dinner. I will have your parents bring your things Ginny, they will be visiting you for lunch."

The heavy feeling of dread once again dropped to the pit of her stomach when she thought of how her mother would act, and what she would ask.

"Ok sir." She answered.

"I suggest you go pack Severus, I will see you later Miss Weasley." Dumbledore said, then swept out of the hospital wing, most likely to make preparations for where ever they were going both Ginny and Snape thought. Snape stood in the same spot for a couple of moments before abruptly turning on his heel and storming out of the room.

When she was alone once again, Ginny let herself collapse onto the soft bed and pillows. 'This is much worse than I thought it would be.' She groaned silently.
