When they got out of the chamber Draco whispered something and flicked his wand the entrance closed up. Ginny silently motioned to him to an empty cubicle and she shut the door beind him.
After they were inside she quietly opened the box Tom had given them. On top of a pile of different magical objects was a letter. Ginny picked up the scroll and Malfoy stood beside her and read over her shoulder.
Ginevra and Draco,
In this box one of my other followers has put together a collection of objects you may find useful in your services to me. I have included invisibility cloaks and bottles of veritaserum which have obvious uses. I have included a time turner for Ginevra so she may return to me and report for an hour while she also upholds the illusion that she is a good member of the wizarding society and is allowed to return and serve as my spy in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. The pendant and the watchband both have a small two-way mirror attatched so you may talk to myself or each other at any given time. The parchment is a map that can show a radius of one mile when the incantation "Revealus!" is used.
Use these well and remain loyal to the Dark Lord always.
When they finished reading through the letter they pulled out the possesions indicated. Ginny looped the silver pendant and time turner around her neck and Draco attached the watch to his wrist. Draco took a bottle of Veritaserum and a cloak and Ginny did the same. They nodded to each other and slipped under the cloaks before they left the stall.

It wasn't really Ginny, it was half of Ginny. Her waist and torso were gone. But they reappeared when she dropped the invisibility cloak around her waist.
"Gin," Harry started, had she stolen his cloak?
"Oh Harry!" she cried and ran into his arms, "I have something to admit."
"What is it, Ginny? Did someone hurt you?" he asked concernedly.
"Why would I be confessing about someone else hurting me, you barely tolerable git?"
She took a moment to fully absorb the look of complete shock on his face.
"Yes, Harry, I hate you, I can barely stand to be around you, you smell odd after we play Quidditch, you are a huge softie and I'm serving as Tom Riddle's spy in the Order."
He looked even more shocked now. He tried to speak but only managed to make a face like a fish trying to breathe out of water.
"Oh and Hermione," she added as an after thought, "Your hair is one of the ugliest things I have ever encountered."
"But Ginny," Harry managed to studder, "It shouldn't be like that for you. You're brilliant and georgeous and brave. You shouldn't have to turn to him. You're practically giving your life away. And I thought you...loved me."
Ginny let out a bitter laugh, "I'm not giving my life away. This is my life. All that I've ever known. You don't know what it's like growing up with magical parents. I got to watch them and all of my brothers do magic to solve every little problem, for any reason they desired there was a magical solution. I couldn't wait to get into the magical world and solve all of my problems with a wave of my wand. It doesn't work like that though, that's what Tom showed me. He showed me that the world isn't going to bow down at your feet, you have to knock it's knees out from under it."
Hermione and Harry both stood gaping.
"Oh and just as an afterthought," Ginny added twirling a lock of her hair while looking at Harry, "Hermione had sex with Ron at Grimmauld Place the summer after your fourth year. She told me never to tell you, but this is just too good to pass up."
Hermione suddenly looked betrayed and Harry looked like the world had been tugged out from under him. They looked at each other in shock, Hermione desperately trying to think of a good explanation. Ginny raised her wand.
"Obliviate." she said clearly before yawning and heading up the girls' dormitory staircase to go to bed.
