"The rumors are true. Tom Riddle is back!"
"After who?"
"Ginevra Weasley. She is as big of a threat as Harry. we have a better chance of winning!"
It was the end of Ginny's 5th year. The Death Eaters had attacked Hogsmeade not long ago. Lots of people had died, including her older twin brothers, Fred and George. They had died saving Professor Lupin, who now taught a class in Lyncanthropy. Ginny couldn't help being a bit...defensive, let's call it. For that, Remus pulled her aside after class one day.
"Ginny, what is the matter?", he asked. When she didn't answer, he said."You never ever answer questions anymore, even though this is your best subject. Don't you know I would have rather died than them?", he yelled. He probobobly wouldn't had yelled if it wasn't for the full moon being 3 days away.
"I'm s-s-sorry.", she choaked out, having burst into tears. She turned to leave when a little voice said:
"Why don't you tell him about Riddle?"
"Professor?"
"Yes, Ginny?"
"Are the rumors really true?"
"About what, Ginny?"
"Tom Riddle being back. Wanting to get to me and my family. That...that I could defeat You-Know-Who too."
Lupin sighed.
'Yes, Ginny."
Ginny started to cry. She just stood in the door sobbing.
"Ginny, no one wants you to...well...die. But-"
"There are some things worth dying for, I know."
"Yes, Ginny."
"And Professor-"
"When we're not in class, please call me Remus."
"Of course. But...what if...they get my parents."
"Then Someone's made guardian of you. It's in their will."
"Thank you, Professor."
"Remus, Ginny, Remus."
Ginny walked down the stairs, but before she got there, someone showed up. Someone she knew very well. Tom Riddle was in front of her, next to Voldemort, with Death Eaters and Dementors all over.
