It had been several weeks since the beginning of term.

Hermione had not brought up the subject again but he could clearly see that she was confused.

The ministry was a constant thorn in his side. Fudge had attempted to put out a warrant for his arrest but Minerva had pulled a few strings and managed to dissuade Fudge from that particular idea.

Instead, Harry was now being monitored wherever he went and he couldn't do a damn thing about it.

This royally pissed him off. This also meant he couldn't leave the castle or talk to his contacts.

He was also worried about Ginny. Blaise had been perfectly impersonating the youngest Weasley.

Nobody was suspicious about Blaise's disappearance, after all Slytherins had a reputation for being evil deatheater scum, so they had merely assumed that Blaise had left to become a deatheater.

Harry wasn't sure what do about Hermione. She had always supported him before and as her parents were muggles so she had no family in the order. He also had a rising suspicion that she had been doing the dark arts.

Just to confirm his suspicions, Harry had surreptitiously checked out her aura, it was a pale blue speckled with green, but he had found what he was looking for, a large black patch steadily growing by the minute. It showed that she had been doing, or in contact with the dark arts.

However one could not be too sure as he remembered the events of the ministry battle at the end of last year.

That afternoon, after many gruelling weeks of torture caused by not being in contact with the dark arts, his stalker had left the school. He was free again. This also meant he could finally transfigure Raithos back into his old self.

The poor grim had to be disguised as a large ginger cat similar to Hermiones cat crookshanks.

Speaking of Hermione, the bushy haired brunette as currently approaching him.

"You, me, Astronomy tower, midnight tonight"

Hermione then turned on her heel and swept away.

Harry was left gaping after her very un dark-lordish. Normally he would have cursed her for being so rude but then the ministry would probably arrest him and, although he could easily destroy the prison, he didn't want to be carted off to Azkaban.

He decided to play along with her game.

It would also allow him a chance to find out about why she had a large black mass clinging too her aura.

She would prove a useful ally if he could turn her.

At that present time. Ginny Weasley was sitting in the room she had been confined to since she woke up in this god-dammed tower.

She was currently mulling over the last months events.

Flashback

'Oh my head' Virginia Weasley awoke to find herself in a room totally covered in green and silver.

'How they hell did I get here?'

Then it came back to her. The train ride, Draco... Draco stunning her. That could mean only one thing. She was in the clutches of the darklord.

She took in her surroundings. She was currently laying atop a 4 poster bead, complete with matching Green and Silver pillows and sheets.

She was dressed in a plain white nightdress.

Next to the bed was a small stand, atop which sat her wand and a note.

Curiosity overriding her common sense, she reached out and grasped the note. When nothing happened she decided it was safe to open it and read

My dear Virginia,

You maybe wondering where you are and how you got here. Do not worry all will be explained in time.

As you can see I have left you your wand. Each of the doors leading out of this room are locked. Unless you cannot remember the right charm to use I am sure you will want to use magic to escape. But I warm you, outside this room there are many foul creatures of the darkest sort, and I would be rather disappointed if I come back to find my walls redecorated in a shade called hint of brain and your mutilated corpse blocking up one of the corridors.

The bell on the right of the bed summons the house elves. I recommend you try their treacle tart.

Enjoy you stay

There was no signature.

Ginny decided to get up and do some exploring around the new room.

There were three doors. One lead to a bathroom, which reminded her of the prefect bathroom at Hogwarts that Hermione, had shown her last year. Inside was a large bathtub that could comfortably accommodate around 10 people. Off to the side of the room there was a large shower and adorning the far wall was a large aquarium, which was seemingly empty.

Ginny then checked the next door it was locked. She assumed this was the exit and, deciding to head the strangers warning, did not try and unlock the door.

The next door opened to show a study. The walls were lined with bookcases. There were several desks and artefacts scattered around the room. Ginny noticed than many of these were books on the dark arts.

She shivered

'Better get something to eat'

She sighed before walking over and ringing the bell to summon the house elf

End Flashback

Yes it was defiantly a strange few weeks
